Present. :) Just stayed away for a while to see if Mercutio would post anymore stupidities like Bentley is crap... :mrgrn: Merc, could you get the model number of your parents' BOSE?

Wouldn't this be too late? I was hearing rumors that the switching may take place by the time Microsoft launches Windows Longhorn. Of course MS doesn't necessarily influence the Internet affairs but just to get a point in time. :)

When are we gonna see the full, Internet-wide implementation of it? Is there a roadmap?

Pradeep, sorry about the PCChips thing. Probably they make such crap most resellers in Europe just avoid the brand. I've never seen it in a PC shop that's why I didn't get that point. And I think I answered why BOSE doesn't publish specs. Most probably for the gossip effect. If you go to the...

The important thing is it is found and measures are taken. ed2k (and its various other clones) is OK, Coug, but a little bit cumbersome for small size files and fast downloads. I personally use it only for movies and TV series.

BTW, did you read the review about the BOSE headset I mentioned above?!

So what? I was alone again in that analog-digital sound thread. But no CD can reach a good vinyl reproduction in fidelity... :wink: But you gotta have the equipment, Merc, not entry-level stuff.

Are you sure it's Gates and not you on your Avatar?!

So... 13 or 22 January?!

Didn't know about that, but it would be very interesting since still many can't afford (or are not yet reached) by broadband services. Is there at least a standards commitee working on more-than-56K modems? URL?

Ok, continue thinking that your mid-range speakers or car or whatever outperforms a top-range one if that makes you happy, pleased, and complete as a human being. Don't worry, you're entitled of your opinion as every human being. However, don't think I'm stubborn and don't hear a thing of what...

Oo... I'm so afraid... oo, please don't... :lol:

Same problem here regarding the running of FTP/Web servers on the PC. :( But what's the justification to cap your upload? Is it on the contract as well? "If you upload a lot we shall cap you..." :o

Thanks mubs, but I did provide info and even on-topic (in regard to headphones). Check my link above, see the tests, and read the conclusions as well.

I was suspecting it, now I'm sure you don't have a clue about cars. Never said that. It's childish you put words to my mouth to sustain your sayings... Some people, not all. And those who you call "hobbyists" are people that really love the theme but don't always afford the most expensive...

WTF! :eekers: Were do you connect to? What do you pay-per-month?!

:lol: Damnation! You still remember... :lol: Not so funny and definitely not so true... but why do you insist? Why use your puny little bandwidth trying to persuade me that a "Toyota" is a "Mercedes"? I'm sure your parents invested their money well, you just can't admit it. "Opinions are like...

Adcadet, I hope this helps: :) http://www.rojakpot.com/default.aspx?location=3&var1=24&var2=0

Just because you can't afford supermicro doesn't mean it sucks. Anyway, I'm off.

Anyway, we're OT and I won't continue OTing with you. This is Adcadet's thread. Not yours or mine.

Have you ever considered those who want to destroy myths are always the losers? Take companies I'll name: Intel (bashed by AMDers), nVIDIA (bashed by ATIers), SoundBlaster (bashed mainly for price/drivers), BOSE (bashed by poor other producers who can't do same quality products), Seagate...

Mercass, you get what you pay for. That's the first rule of our corporate world. Go check a top-line (and yes, expensive) sound system of a premium car (most German cars I know, for instance) and $$$-home and you'll find BOSE behind. Read a real magazine sometime. The thing I don't know is...

Thanks for the news! It's always good to hear of price cuts! :)

Ooh... who's the Dude with the more-than-4096 connection?! :o And I've noticed that only one so far has ISDN or entry-level Cable/DSL connection.

Now you're talking... It's because you can't buy the good range... But don't ever say again BOSE is NOT good. It's totally TOTALLY untrue.

OK, I get it... but for Christ's sake: at least an ISDN! How costlier would that be?

My Telco/ISP is a new player in the telecommunications field and as such it says that they don't have enough public IPs for every client that connects, due to the past stupid policy to give away IPs without concern. Instead they're using some kind of NAT/proxy/router (don't know exactly what)...

With all the respect, but isn't this counterproductive?! Especially if we're talking about Mercutio who has some 3100+ posts in this forum... only!

BOSE as far as I know is one of the best players in the audio business, Mercutio, are you sure of your claims?!

You're joking right?! :o Well forgive me then, I would have never guessed we have <56Kers in this forum. But what on earth are you doing on a connection like this? Are there not any Cable/DSL services (wired) in your area?

I have a new connection by a new Telco/ISP operator. It's one of the fastest in Italy, for what you pay, and it gives good speed in respect to other connections both in this country and EU in general. 2048Kbps download and 512Kbps upload. Only pain in the ass is they use a router which gives...

Are you sure it's real?! :-? [/img]

Which model?

I do that too.

I just wanted to know how many "enthusiast" drives you sell in respect to lazy, but quiet, 7200rpm ones.

Expensive indeed!

Do you have any Raptors in your systems, CT?

:lol:

It's an 160GB drive, but ATA-100. Better wait for the SATA model.

That was very dangerous indeed. :o

Ditto. I think the problem lies here...

It would be even more fun once VIA's KT8337 (supporting native SATA) becomes available for the new chipset-mobo solutions. Especially in RAID mode. Good times ahead! :)

Well, I only hope MS does NOT sell my private e-mail to any 3rd company cause with a Passport a can access any .NET-related service or site (ie Zone.com).

Ah, now I get it... :roll: I thought I could avoid creating a Passport account in the beginning, but it's unavoidable.

Where do I use my regular email? How do I sign in with this mail?

How can I create a login for MSN Messenger without making a Passport/Hotmail account? I've seen some people with Yahoo using the Messenger...

C'mon, a bit...

Sick stuff... but [sickly] funny... :mrgrn: :oops: :eekers: http://www.s-line.de/homepages/galerie/bilder/bombgame.htm

You're welcome. :) But to be frank, I expected them to test the 7200.7 Plus drive as well (or instead of this one)...

Accidents happen. Don't be so harsh. Afterall, there aren't many (any?) dedicated storage-only reviewing sites out there...
