Yes that's true. Everyone that I've helped with the sasser virus has been told that this kind of attack is completely preventable... for free... without any technical knowldge. Simply go to the windows update site once a month or every 2 weeks and let it decide what updates you need and...

I've been pretty impressed with the yum updating system since fedora's 1st release. The only driver issues I've had were kernel problems that have been fixed in subsequent realeases. One thing that I do not like about fedora is redhat's view that they should change packages around at their...

agreed. Sasser is tiny compared to blaster... but hopefully with 2 wake up calls this kind of thing will not happen again.

howabout cache in D-RAM.. aka system memory.. much faster than a hard drive (or flash on an ATA bus).

Good thing SiS has had PCI express in their roadmap for some time. Their southbridges should work fine for A64, AthlonXP, and intel chips... but ultimately it's up to motherboard makers to implement SiS's chipsets this way. VIA of course has plans for PIC-E chipsets, however it may be planning...

on my htpc i mainly watch movies and play n64 and snes games.... I have the ATi Remote wonder... it's OK, not perfect... Plenty for watching movies and controlling most functions. Occasionally I'll need better control so I have a logitech cordless optical trackball and logitech's wireless...

interesting.....

i'll have to wait a few generations before I even consider an ATI board.. I just recently accepted their graphics cards as reasonable.

ghost casting is meant for use with multiple machines.. IE: multicast... Initiating a multicast from the client sounds backwards... like requesting that an FM radio station start and stop with a single listener turning on their radio...

there is a tool exactly for this Sechs.. i dont remember where I saw it though... it's not in my downloads so maybe you can google search for GUID ghost dump restore.. something along those lines...

brasso may polish, but it wont protect you from the weather... use clear enamel or laquer.. if you're too shy for that then use car wax once every 6 months to a year.

you can unmount a disk in winNT using the disk manager... remove all drive letters and directory access... then isse the command to put the drive in standby/sleep mode.. then disconnect the data and power cables. You may also want to disable the controller in device manager after putting the...

mubs, be sure to format the card using the camera.. I formatted a card with windows and started snapping pictures and it noticed the camera had terrible response time (write LED on camera took several seconds to write a pictue)... I reformatted the card using the camera and taking pictures...

What I means is that while there are others out there (memorex seemingly the most popular) nothing else is even worth buying compared to verbatim. Verbatim is synonimous with quality media in my opinion, and they also seem to be the 1st to manage bringing higher speed disks to the shelves...

For smart media i dont think there are really any gurantees. I would get the capacity you need... If you can you could buy a couple cards and return the slower ones... It's going to be more expensive than just one card, but atleast you'll get what you want.

is there anything else besides verbatim in the CD-RW realm? I'm loving the newest ultra-speed verbatims I bought... i have atleast 50 wites/erases on the 5 pack i bought and they work great. Wish there were more 700MB RWs instead of 650's available though...

if it matters, the core2 test2 didnt work with my realtek 8169 gigabit NIC(freezes after data transfer), the core2 test3.. or a yum update of the kernel should fix this... I think I'm going to stick with core2 test2 until the final core2 comes out.

do I need the full version to connect to dd's server or will the demo work?

he's talking about the internet options for internet exploiter.

well, the only reason that I'm not 100% thinking the router has failed is that I was talking with someone the other day who's LAN of about 10 computers wer having problems accessing the internet. The person could reach their linksys router's administration page, so concluded it was the router...

Is this the error that says "The page cannot be displayed".. and at the bottom "Cannot find server or DNS Error" or is this the "The page cannot be found" error, like a http 404 error message? If the latter then it sounds like you have a problem with the local machine or with a...

i wonder if you could simply rename the taskmgr.exe to taskmglr.exe (task mangler)? you could also capture ctrl-alt-del the keystroke I would think...

fast user switching has worked fine for me in XP home and pro as well as 2k3 when it's turned on...

sorry, didnt see the post. yes and yes.

For every byte of data transferred it sends 10 bits instead of 8. You can read the specs here: http://www.serialata.org/collateral/zipdownloads/serialata10a.ZIP It should have the answer.. although it might be burried. One thing that I thought was interesting is that a S-ATA link is always at...

I see most things come in through IE because it makes it easy for web programmers to try and install stuff onto your computer (and fool the user), another obvious place is kazaa, weather bug, and the like which come bundled with trash. I recomend people use mozilla or myIE2 I think simply...

Efficiency isnt the name of the game, it's about speed. And if you can get 150MB/sec out of 1.5gbps raw bandwidth it's better than getting ~100 out of a 133MB/sec interface. anyway, it's only 75MB/sec lost (decimal gigas). Personally, I dont mind loosing 2 in order to send a byte of data.

ie6setup.exe can be the stubby installer or it can be the full installer, depends on where you get it. I'm thinking at this point it may just be easier to reinstall winXP ontop of itself after backing up the favorites and my documents folders...

when you add overhead.. remember 1.5Gbps raw speed = 150MB/sec data rate for SATA 1.0

i have an interesting bit of spyware causing someone I know torubles... 1) any page that links to ie6setup.exe gets a page cannot be displayed error... even if the page starts to load, as soon as IE sees ie6setup it gives a page cannot be displayed error.. 2) computer does not want to accept...

As far as I know there is no way to password protect a CD, however you can use a container like PGP, zip, RAR, etc to password protect individual folders or files. But this relies on the necessary program being installed on the end user's machine. You could easily burn a copy of PGP tools...

i just sent one back... using the other one...

considering the lengths you guys are taking this, why dont you just buy 80GB 7k250's for each station and be done with it? you can use the current raptors in some kind of server setup or sell them to recoup your losses. i know you'd like to not have to have disks in each workstation, but I...

i think you're going overboard... games dont rely that much on the hard disk, and even when they do it's to load a map or something which usually goes pretty quickly and the downtime is apreciated anyway (bragging, stretching, taking a bathroom/snack break, etc). I think i would personally be...

i tried that.... only instead of them sending me a postage paid box (or pre-paid shipping label) they said they'd credit me $10 shipping... They got it wrong the second time too... so now I have 2 wrong mobos and no right mobos... and they never credited my account...

took a trip, plus I've been busy. I hope to get this all straightenned out soon... This whole thing was really frustrating me last night, I was glad that newegg's CS dept. was closed or I would have been yelling at some poor girl. I dont really even feel like bothering to send the second board...

i've ordered 2 motherboards from newegg in the last month and both times they've sent me the wrong thing! i talked to their reps in the RMA department and they just wont even agree to double check to see if they are sending me the right god damn stuff. all the while my file server is down...

http://www.storageforum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2951 expensive.... i just went with a binder that allows organization.

Hey now there's a good idea. I do that with 4 pin molex connectors used for power... but that seems really good for the other cruddy connectors in a PC.

very true

i dont think that XP or 2k pro make use of more than 2GB of RAM from what I've heard on the mis-informative internet. You may beed to upgrade to a "server" OS to make use of that extra memory.

yeah, I have used a piece of a cardboard box to cover some of the holes... But in my p160 I'm using 2 of the antec 120MM fans, running them at 5v. video is cooled by a 60mm fam from a retail AMD heatsink which has been 5 volted and has an inline resistor.. no idea how fast it's actually...

so 98 and 2k came with it so they took it out for ME only to replace it in XP? hmm....

It's not just the fans, you can remove them completely and it can still be noisy because of the huge 12CM hole in the front and rear of your case that lets noise escape directly out of the computer. For this reason i prefer 80mm case fans... 92mm proabbly being good as well.. but 12CM is just...

you just have to move... preferably change cities.

The pictures distort the case and in my opinion make it looks worse than it really is. The case doesnt look that bad in person.

I haven't worked with authoring a DVD using native DVD format (MPEG2) material.. but when working with AVI sources the process takes so long anyway that you just set it up and let it work overnight.. in the morning hopefully will be a working result. This is on a 2GHz Athlon. So even going to...

I agree with your opinion there, alot of mainstream cases have really gone down hill and into the realm of glow in the dark, see through, UV-reactive, does it have a fishtank?, can it be overclocked w/ a blowhole junk. I also agree that Aopen has some nice cases that look good for mainstream...

wow, I just took a look at Ulead's DVD workshop.. looks like it has a lot of options and customization potential... a real DVD authoring program... Comparing Ulead's DVD workshop to their DVD movie creator is like looking at Nero vs Nero Express. BTW, these DVD authoring programs can be real...
