Yeah, and do you see this? Man, I have had one of the most stable Windows installments for as long as I can remember... I want to uninstall the darn NPF... could you give me back €1000000 if it fails? :evil:

:lol:

Damn med school! :( :( Man, crappy situation...

Is Windows XP internal firewall enough for home use? I'm not running a server, neither I manage critical and/or hacker-prone data... Afterall, I never run unknown code downloaded from my mails and Norton AntiVirus 2002 scans and treats almost everything... I think I'll go without 3rd-party...

I doubt that. Due to marketing reasons most software houses will start providing 64bit versions of their programs even if the there's no big performance gain. IMO: 64bit apps will reach our PCs much sooner than you think...

IMO there's no more exciting news release than the release of a brand new processor... That's why I voted for the ClawHammer. Let's bear it: computers were brought to calculate vast amounts of data that humans were unable to do in a reasonable amount of time. CougTek is right on this one. I...

When I'll stop being SR's UD Team Captain...

Variations of positions? Changing the sequence of the code changes the gene itself, Cliptin. (Mutations with dire effects on an organism can even happen by changing only one of the nitrogenous bases of the gene in question, imagine if you swap whole codon sequences...)

The thing that makes me angry is the NPF is not responding positively when I put an IP (ie. www.microsoft.com) on the trusted sites... it continues its own don't-know-how blocking policies. I can only enter the problematic sites by deactivating completely the firewall... :(

LOL... I hate'm too... :lol:

Yeah, there is no GPU onboard, brain... Who cares, CouchTest? Buy the stuff before your retailer updates the prices...

Me too, the functionality problems developed sometime in the months. Once I couldn't connect to the Nokia.com site (Handruin remembers...). It fixed by itself. :-? Now, Microsoft.com... don't know why... I haven't tweaked anything. In the beginning it worked in an impeccable way. I had been...

Hmm, if your analogy is valid you must be using Windows ME with all the freeware progies you find in magazine CDs installed... However, thanks for your null-valued input, CouchTest.

I've noticed recently that Norton Personal Firewall 2002 draws my attention not for the number of hacker attacks it saves me, but for the problems it creates me... here I will give you some examples which frankly in the beginning were working OK and now they hamper my computing experience: -I...

Yeah, I know. These "positions" somehow stand for the complexity of the genome sequence to decode (as many of you have already noticed how 90-position genes take much more time than 70-position ones)... I just wanted to make sure that (AFAIK) positions in a gene isn't a term of the biological...

Kama Sutra. :wink:

Why don't you like Compaqs, Merc?

Jake your Avatar is amazing! Hahaha... and self-explaining of course... :lol: :wink:

LOL... I know that feeling man. And it happens even if you have DSL... :(

LOL, what is a 97-position gene? :-?

I have a 17" monitor. I don't care either about resolutions higher than 1024x768. However, bear in mind that many (serious or not) gamers are using 19" or even 21" CRTs... They need the higher resolutions. Yeah, that was a usual Intel-like announcement... I think games' generations move along...

Heheh... that was my response before the thread got out of control...

Just for the sake of knowing, I am able to see you, download your My Documents folder, order jewels from you credit card, access your online bank account, write an e-mail (as you) to your fiancé telling her you want to break up, send a fax to the local police department about drugs in the house...

Is it possible for an ISP to "fine-tune" its setting to give nice results in various testing sites like this? (But otherwise suck...)

Obviously you haven't played some of the latest titles with full-graphics (all features on!) and a resolution of 1600x1200 with decent FPS, have you?

Do-oh! Do-oh... I found what it was... damn Wizards... :lol: Interestingly enough, I had to share the VPN connection directly (I didn't know there was a setting to share that too) and not [share] the Ethernet adapter with the DSL modem as the Windows guide (online help) says... :-? I had to...

I want to connect my NOKIA 6510 with the PC, but the damn phone is supporting only IR connection. I don't have a notebook, and my housemate's hasn't got an IR port (Compaq Presario 700)... Do you know any inexpensive USB-to-IR adapters and online stores that sell them (shipping in the EU...

Depending upon the network, all clients may be able to connect to the secure network as the same account that initially established the VPN connection. For example, if you establish a VPN connection to a corporate network on a computer running ICS, all the clients connected to the ICS Host may...

So, if I understood correctly... I'll have to create a VPN connection to the notebook with same connection data as the primary one. And gateway? The modem or the ICS host (my computer)? You know, this is a delicate matter cause I don't know what happens if my ISP detects two computers trying...

That's right. When you run the ICS Wizard Windows XP enables by default the internal firewall. I deactivated it but nothing. Also, when I did manually the ICS I left the firewall off. And even the Norton Personal Firewall deactivated!

Thanx man, I'm waiting eagerly for your answer...

BTW, I created a rule on Outlook's Junk Mail to block all domains with .co.kr Now very few spam pass... damn Koreans, I beat you!

Guys, I'm almost sure that it's the darn VPN (PPTP) that I can't connect. I did the ICS manually, without the Wizard, and my friend's notebook created an icon showing my PC (Local Area Connection on PROFWIZARD)... he even exchanges some packets now and then... but IE isn't working yet... :(...

Yep, that's already done. And when I see the properties I see that I have a static-fixed internal (LAN) IP and my friend has dynamic. And it should be OK cause my gateway is the IP of the modem and his gateway is my PC... :) I just don't know... Shouldn't my friend's notebook show anything...

I've noticed in the Internet Options of IE6 there are some options regarding the connections (dial-up, VPN, LAN)... Can one see and tell me if I have to change something there (at the notebook)?

I want to share my DSL with my housemate by creating a small LAN. After some initial thoughts we concluded that the best approach (and cheapest) would be to buy a second NIC for my PC and activate the ICS in Windows XP. So here is the situation: I have a DSL modem which connects to my first...

That was the funniest spam I've ever seen... :lol:

That was for me to see, right Merc? :x

USB 2 is indeed cool. But what if FireWire 2 arrives sometimes next year? I still love USB and I'm so glad so many companies have implemented regarding anything from joysticks to UPSs...

The Syrian Kamikaze in Serious Sam are amazing... :lol:

Thanks Buck. I am eager for your report! :)

Man, LOL, glad you said that (and kudos to energy who ICQed me the thread to my attention...): I'M GONNA LET IT ALL NIGHT CRUNCHING TONIGHT HONEY! :P :P

I first saw this tech a month ago browsing Compaq's site for notebooks... I was lightning-struck by the amazing quality in combination with the fast rendering. I swear man: these apps were the best thing I've seen regarding multimedia presentations of products. And the article I've read...

I've read so much lately about this company ViewPoint and its VET system of 2D/3D rendering. Watching the medical multimedia presentations (among others) at their site, left me with my jaw hanging... :eekers: 8) It's absolutely awesome :excl:

Shame on them! Is this so difficult to implement? Jeez, a 21st-century OS without hardware acceleration... Yeah, their development department is really slow...

Why is OS X so slow?

where?
