Congratulations Mercutio. And it's really very good you got a job near your house. Believe me: living the traffic of Rome every day... <sigh>... I know what means to have your work near...

Definitely it's not the RICOH. It's the whole CD-RW burning that's sometimes (not always!) unreliable... I use a Plextor 16x10x40x, one of the best in its class, and sometimes InCD (and Windows) don't recognize my archive CD-RWs. For no apparent reason. Well, I eject the CD and place it again...

Works fine for me. :)

Too much hassle... :(

I understand you... photos can't include peripheral imaging beyond the visual tunnel, neither smells, nore feelings that arise by the "disaster aura"... I felt strange seeing these photos myself, even as a foreigner. I was in these two towers both day and night, passing throught that bridge...

Iomega! IMO their Zip products aren't worth in the era of DVD-writing...

I don't think anyone said that. (And if he did, he was wrong!) It can compete with 7200 or 10000 RPM SCSI drives, but not with 15000 for sure... Oh, and the hype is true. The drive rocks and I still can't understand why other companies haven't announced models bearing an increased cache.

Amazing! :o :D

Hey, I'm mature... I even had a drink back in the Windows On The World bar, last August... OK, that wasn't so funny so I apologize... :oops:

Get me a cold beer Bartender! :D

yep, something like it... the strange thing is that I saw it from a Finn (JoJo)... :-?

The D740X...

It has to be non-volatile RAM... It's not worth else...

I know... afterall it's a demo game for the brain-dead... :P However, if you manage to make it run independendly append this thread... (just for the heck of it) Thanks.

Yeah but still... 1GB for 4 previous-generation Pentium 2 processors is more than enough, even for server enviroments... OK OK, that depends... but 170MB is far less the 1024 available...

BTW, timwhit, can you compile Donkey .NET in an executable file and make it available for me? Wanna see it... :D

What about Enterprise and Professional Editions?

Isn't it... "I'm proud to be Finn!" ? Finns (the people) Finnish (the products)

Is it true that AE is 7 CDs? :o What about the other editions?

I know... nVIDIA products have Linux support out-of-the-box, but just to show you that buying a 6-month-old component isn't 100% sure it will be supported...

I'm buying GeForce 3 Ti500 next month... I'm just waiting for prices to fall due to the release of GeForce 4... :wink:

AFAIK, these are updates after you've installed the CD drivers... These guys need to rewrite the darn drivers from the beginning... A thing they don't do...

That explains all. Unfortunately, Mercutio, with current generation hardware and the latest game titles the situation is very different. You know, I'm waiting till the shit hits the fan (that is when I won't have any more time fooling around: around my 6th-year while preparing my MD thesis and...

Nope! :D It's just that the exam period is over and we have a free week till classes/clerkships restart... :wink: BTW, I'm not competing with spammers... :P (joking of course)

Well, if you happen to get an issue of Scientific American of February 2002, turn to page 18. They've almost turned out one of the safest methods of prenatal diagnosis (the Ultrasound Scan- profs preach us every day and in every subfield of medicine how good, economic, and effective US are...)...

Drivers?! Only drivers?!? YOU BET! Everything "Software" about Creative sucks! Their laughable drivers, their lousy "crashy" applications, the fact that you CAN'T (outrageous!) download the darn drivers from their site... EVERYTHING! Where are the glorious days of Creative, back in Sound...

You're probably talking about the TransGaming Project. It is mainly tested on Mandrake distros (that's why I ordered 8.1 back in 2001 :wink: ), but beware: it's a subscription service and if your game is voted by many other subscribers (they have a rank) will be ported to Linux... <sigh>...

:oops: :roll: Sorry for my stratospheric ignorance... :(

The 10 or more times is rather hilarious I would say... :lol:

You have just spoked into the core of the problem... :) This is the greatest issue... If I were back home in Greece (I sport 3 PCs there!) I would have installed the darn OS right away... but having to dual-boot my current PC is a more risky approach. You can't have real-time answers otherwise...

Hehe... good point! :D

Who did? :?:

I've read it... but don't forget that I haven't actually played with my previous Linux box (not having sound was pretty frustrating for a Windows-grown guy like me) and thus I'm still a newbie... I'm not sure I'll be able to install it manually and compile my own kernel (don't know how!)... I...

Is it a good demo? Is VB .net all-powerful now? :)

I read FAQs... I remember reading the whole SR FAQ regarding IDE RAID. That's how I understood how it worked exactly and dismissed the idea of placing one in my PC using the cheap mobo-onboard controllers... :wink:

You have to download it...

I think the current 5 forums are already too much, Doug... Just rename B&G... Moreover, I find the existence of a separate Computers & Tech Support forums not to my liking. (I'm sure P5 won't be agreeing on this)

ROFL :lol:

Dunno exactly, can't run it cause I don't have Visual Basic .NET... It is supposed to be a program to mark the 10th anniversary of MS's VB and demonstrate the "outlandish" capabilities of the 7th incarnation... Check it...

Amen! You remember my frustration last time, don't you? :x Let's hope this time works... so, I'm waiting SuSE 7.4 or 8.0 then...

Genome@home... ppfff... I don't like it... :x I'll try to run a 2nd instance with Folding@home.

:D

SuSE supports out-of-the-box even my Hauppauge TV Tuner... :) This is extremely good. I'll be going to a major (bloated!) distro, cause I want the maximum of hardware compatibility and support.

I know I'm playing with fire here... but I want to try my luck again with Linux. This time doing things right and buying SuSE, not Mandrake... not yet of course... when the new version (7.4 or 8.0) arrives and if my Audigy and the rest of my hardware is already supported by the latest kernel...

Has anyone actually run it? How is it?

Let's stick to UD till it closes... But if we are to change... how you like Stanford's Folding@home? :) Other suggestions?

I was wondering if the decadence of the SR forums is due a to signal-to-noise ratio decrease (due to the absence of old-time Fixtures) or due to real problems after the "tragic events of 12/29"... :-? Time will tell... However, it has been a pleasant surprise to see Eugene back again active...

OK guys... you made your choice... I made mine... At least I've seen what Windows RG is like... :mrgrn:

Actually make many and then launch a poll for us to choose... :wink: Green is a calming and relaxing color. Psychology says so... Nature says so... :)

OK, let's kill all interactive content then and return to IE3/NN3 eras or, even better, let's deactive images as well and compile a text-based Internet browser to run from DOS 1.0 :lol: No... I'm not into it... Internet becomes universal when companies with insight can (and want to) collabarate...
