Interesting idea.

Thanks for the clarification. I was almost certain there was something wrong with my speculation of placing a Big Mac on a pizza... :roll: Don't worry, I know American cuisine is NOT represented by fast food restaurants (and especially McDonalds). I've eaten some really good stakes in the US...

And a question of semantics... I didn't quite get the hamburger as an ingredient of pizza. :-? :roll: You mean ham? Cause hamburger for me is the Big Mac... I guess you Americans have weird tastes, but that would go too far for your already overweight population... hehe... PS. Papa John when...

By the way, talking about pizza, Italians say the best pizza is the Margherita. It's actually the 1st pizza ever made, baken for Queen Margherita of Italy in the last years of the 19th century, in Naples (of course). It is the simplest of all pizzas, having only tomato and mozzarella... AND IT...

Confirming that. One of the most famous avenues here in Rome is Via Aurelia... :)

I like this new member, ape. :P

Every area has its occupation problems. I think the worst is to be over-qualified and still without job. Happens... especially hard if you also study a lot and for long, ie. Medicine. :(

Would you be happy if there was a disclaimer about you fears, Tannin? Hey, don't take me for a pseudo-science zealot guys. I almost have a portrait of Descartes in my room. I like logic and methodology and I detest fake or tentative results... but: the SRD is a unique offering web-wide. And...

It's amazing because in the same paragraph you praise and condemn the filter mechanism for the same reason: its inherent working you so-clearly explained! I doubt that three 75GXP failures in a row would trigger the filter though. Maybe 50 yes, but three... bah... I find it pretty safe these...

He doesn't say something bad or evil about you. He just counters your positions. I wouldn't need permission for that, but I would like it to remain FYEO for reasons of fair play.

Well yes, that's textbook statistics. But... if we assume that random or frequent users (like you and me) just post the real results of their HDs in possession then you can extract a pattern if a fair number of drives has been submitted. Of course, there is always the possibility of a [let's...

Me too. But... :-? Med books sometimes say viruses, sometimes not. I think it's like light-lite. The simpler version shall prevail.

OT: Is it used frequently in this form, Will? Which plural is more used, viruses or virii?

Heheheh... so you still want to work with computers? We are often asked what the best way is to get into the computer industry. There is no one right answer. Training helps, practical experience helps a lot more. (This needn't be commercial experience, a keen mind and a home PC is all it takes.)...

BTW, I once had an e-mail from Eugene where he was telling me that the 2nd version of the SR Reliability Database (after the "loss") would have been with the guidance and suggestions of a local college's Master program (I guess in Statistics, Computer Science or something like that). Excerpt...

Eh? Why is that data non-random and self-selecting?! I would say quite the opposite.

Your stance against the Reliability Database is notorious... I've followed your arguments and I don't really think it's the case to be so "against" the whole endeavor.

Heheh, don't see the Pope weak and unable today... his powers go far beyond 1809... I'm a modern Knight Hospitaller. :wink:

You're a textbook case of schizophrenia... :lol:

Don't take it personal. I only thought the e-mail confirmation came in when the news where actually online, not submitted. I find it very interesting the earth is spinning, Coug. Last time I said something like this in the Uni the prof looked down on me and murmured words like "burn...

Cool! :drl: (BTW, I had a mail confirmation for the submission so it's really strange it's not up yet...)

I submitted this news entry at about 6:45 GMT. Nothing yet... :( Coug and Hand, where are you?!

Heheeheh... I really miss this Avatar! This is the real you! Jake the Dog and his pitbull avatar. :P

Heheh, don't worry. From the time stamps of our posts I declare it a draw! :wink: Do you know any other sites with stuff like this?

Yeah I know. Wasn't very attentive on my first try. There are loads of these tricks... I call them mathematical passatempos...

I found it... :( Too good to be true. The result is always a 9x multiplication result. And the second number to substract doesn't play any role.

:o http://www.gam3a.com/dir/default/cool/mindreader.htm :o Don't cheat... and you'll lose your hair! This thingy got 3 on 3 for me! Can't explain it. :eekers:

Are there 3rd party Creative drivers out there? Tweaked to perfection I mean...

No you're not! :roll: I'm only terrified by the idea to ever have a tech support issue and have to post here... :mrgrn:

http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/News/Details.asp?RelatedID=3129 Technology advances... always! 8) Always be on wait-mode for unexpected advances.

Why are the stats down? Can't get to them due to Internal Server Error. [/url]

Your source is kinda biased Jake... :roll:

I get an acceptable time [margin] when I synchronize at time.windows.com. But Groltz's program might prove useful if you really want to be precise.

Scary stuff. :blue:

Are there any known computer viruses which attack the antivirus programs (ie. McAfee or Norton) installed on a PC?

:eekers:

"The more you have, the more you want..." This is the golden rule of our spoiled society. We always crave for more quality and quantity. As we speak, I personally already think that the DVD will be obsolete much sooner than we think, albeit not all people have it in their homes as a...

Yeah, but who said than in 10-years time there won't be a faster alternative to T3? The need to advance in technology is an inherent need of our civilization in the search for answers to our most complex computational problems. And you don't have to be a quantum informatics pioneer to know...

Isn't "hot extraction" a little bit risky? I mean... you were lucky not to be electrocuted! :errr:

10 years. With current technology maybe a little bit more but I expect an exponential growth, as always in the computer industry. :)

What about shipping it internationally?

Best ALL-AROUND: luxurious, safe, quiet, reliable, fast. They take you to your destination like a darn car should always do.

You know it is funny, but on my way to Budapest International Airport I saw a Trabant which had the 3-arrows Mercedes emblem on its engine compartment... Some crazy Hungarian fulfilled his long dream of owning a Benz... muahahahhaa! :mrgrn:

I have a photo of myself this summer with a Trabant in Budapest. 8) Really nicey piece of shit. Sorry about forgetting Volkswagen. I remembered to add Opel and forgot to say about VW, currently the biggest manufacturer in Germany. Personally I love Audis. They are THA top cars! And yes...

A good mate of mine has a strange problem with his DSL connection in Britain. He asked for expert help. I guess there's no better place than SF's Tech Support forums. :) He connects with his USB modem to the 'Net and, apart that the connection is really sluggish, it disconnects by itself after...

The Honda is very very good. But I'll never EVER buy a car if not made by a German manufacturer. Germans make the best cars by far. So I guess I'll most probably always own an Audi, or BMW, or Mercedes-Benz, or Opel, or... Porsche... :wink:

I like the new look. And those 3D icons look really neat. 8)

Where can I find screenshots of the new interface?

JoJo's avatar is really cool. And frightening... :o

It is evident that this drive suffers from a spastic hemiparesis that involves the 15th Megabyte and induces the "patient" to an epileptic state of low transfer. I suggest administrating 20mg of RMA 3 times a day. :lol:
