I found it took about 2 weeks on my work address... it worked real well before I reformatted.... off to train it some more

Maybe you should write them a message? he Sony Corporation of America 550 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10022 If nothing else, to help you feel better.

If those are our bad qualities, what are our good ones? I happen to think oppurtunism and individualism are good qualities. Looking out for yourself (selfishness) is more of a balance. It's nice to be selfless and think about the needs of others, but I feel someone has every right to be selfish...

The direct contact number should be 1-800-588-3847 Sony's site sucks, it took me maybe 10 minutes just to find the right support place for their optical drives... and even then it only gives you two options, email or chat.

lol

Do you own a gun Coug?

well, I would start off the conversation that I'm using a 6 month old xxx model drive and that it stopped reading or writing to CD's. I'm using windows 2000 and have an xxxMHz, xxxMB system that works fine with my other sony drives. I have tried this drive in another computer and the same...

The higher salary of the engineer makes it a more apealing carreer choice. If you lowered the salary, then there wouldn't be much of an incentive to be an engineer vs the grocery store bagger. Would you rather have a country full of grocery store baggers or engineers? (I think neither)...

egh... That person sounds like they had no interest in helping you or even making you feel like you've been heard. Maybe you'd have a better experience on the phone vs the chat. You were probably chatting with some Indian or Asian technical support person who ,on a scale, would rank about .1...

Anybody notice how much more scary Tim burton's A nightmare Before Christmas is when listenned to in German?

screenies here Looks like it supports drag and drop as well... maybe i should give this to my father (who is just beginning his digital collection)

google to the rescue my son. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,1389945,00.asp

i hope no one's ignoring me :-(

It's just part of my ideals. I think that it's pretty hard for someone to not have 1 useful thing come out of their mouth. So even if you don't agree with someone or you think they are annoying, there is bound to be a useful piece of information they can provide you. And thus it would be wrong...

nope, I wish i could so that I could get a real life view of what the article was talking about.

Now you've gone and made me wet myself. I've never liked projector TVs.. the detail has always been poor and convergence is often a problem... even on this model.

I'm with JTR.

btw, I think the big thing is the ability to run Unix/linux code within windows. There are tons of *nix only applications that I dont et a chance to try out... although perhaps thera re better linux emulators for this purpose.

ouch $12 shipping?

i just ran the trial, I would never buy that program. Too buggy for my tastes.

::sigh:: I remember when surfing with a 14.4kbps and 66MHZ 486 was considered a dream.... you could visit the most graphics heavy sites and sue netscape to view animated gifs... The reason why I corrected you was that you applied your hypothesis to a server, even though the job of a server...

Bozo, I think you're a bit off there. THe older PCs are slower at rendering webpages than the p4. I however, doubt that there is much of a difference in their network utilization. (like it would matter since they are probably on a 100MBit network with only a <3Mbit internet connection)...

I imagine smoking a pipe would be healthier only because you do not "chain smoke" on a pipe most likely... but I could be wrong. I imagine Tannin smokes after dinner and maybe once during the day... but that's just how i'd imagine it... in reality he might wake up with a pipe in his mouth and...

the good thing about my nick is it is completely unique. All hits for blakerwry are actually related to me.

btw, the gfx table listed by CityK in another thread shows the 8500 as having a single 400MHz DAC, while the 9000 has 2x400MHz DACs. 1 DAC is needed per output normally (there are hacks to get 2 outputs out of a single DAC). If going the 8500 route, make sure it can do 2 outputs simultaneously...

bleh. You know as well as I do that 2D processing is CPU limited (and limited to the refresh rate of the screen anyway)... along with the previous mention of 2D use of RAM.

They will be roughly equivalent, but I would get the 9000 if I was buying new because 1) it'd be more available 2) likely be cheaper 3) be passive For 2D work as you've mentioned no RAM past say... about 8MB will ever be touched.

As far as real sound processors not just DACs Merc.... Realtek makes alot of DACs, mainly used with onboard sound solutions. VIA makes some DACs as well. VIA, Intel, SiS, and AMD make AC97 compatible southbridges that use the host CPU as a DSP.. I assume the soundstorm is a hardware based...

yeah, looks like we have gone back 10 years in the sound card competition market. I do hope there continues to be choices as far as the chipsets available in the sound card market. I quite enjoyed having the option to buy sound cards based on 4 different chipsets made by 5 different...

yah, I use a ~$30 one.... has worked well for my Nikon SLR's as well as the canon digital

i dont see why these guys have anything faster than a 3ware RAID controller... except for the copious amounts of cache.

The installations always go ok, but I've never noticed a speed improvement and have noticed "weird" choppiness or slowdowns or isntability under certain conditions. I've only installed them on kt266/266a boards. I found winXP ran fine without them and didnt need the 4-in-1's to install anything...

Not a whole lot of information should be travelling through the AGP bus. Just the vector and texture information. The card then takes that and computes the actual pixel/texel information onboard and outputs it to the frame buffer where your monitor then picks it up. Additionally, for...

That should have quote's around it.. it was the 1st hit on google for me. and i believe it to be correct.. see also: http://www.ertyu.org/~steven_nikkel/agpcompatibility.html

The AGP voltage is determined by the motherboard, and the voltage keys and signal key (slot) in the video card. Speed is always backwards compatible, for example, a 4x device must be able to run at 2x and 1x. The signalling voltage is the only incompatible part. An 8x device must be 0.8v, a...

i've only had bad experiences with the 4-in-1's

i remember win3.1 came with an app to script GUI only functions... it was terrible! lol.. but so was win3.1... but it was sooooo cool to see your computer doing stuff by itself.

omg, anandtech sucks...

hmm.. dedicated parity disk.. byte level vs block striping.. that would be called RAID 3... gee... how many people use RAID 3?

is that how it went? I always thought they were competing products not related... I've always preferred openoffice above star office and abiword

i used a program called internet neighbordhood a while back... i used it for its similarities to webdrive (map a drive letter to an FTP site)... i thought it was kind of buggy and had a hard time with good connections/too many connections to the FTP server at one time... overall it was usefull...

anybody actually install this junk? last time I did I had to run system restore because of choppiness after alt-tabbing in/out of 3D games and no improvements in speed anywhere

after some more trying I found kerio to freeze firebird/thunderbird on my laptop (which is the only machine I use a software firewall on) I just uninstalled kerio... maybe I'll go firewall-less (it's win98se) or find a better firewall.

You could probably replace that with "if you think for yourself". I was watching the democratic debate the other day... pretty dissapointing. I haven't followed the candidates very well, from the speech I liked General Clark, disliked Kucinich, and thought the ganging up on Dean was stupid...

my Duron doesn't have SSE either... When I get a chance I'll upgrade the client on my pIII computer.

Just a side note, I found i didnt have to install the catalyst drivers to use the AIW card, if not playing 3d games you can use the windows drivers instead. The MMC seems to work fine with them and I would consider them more stable than the catalyst drivers.

Nice to see you return Tannin. Heh, I'm tired and sore. Anybody else have a good thanksgiving?
