I was being facetious... I guess I should have been more over the top. Actually, I've never had a problem with MSN messenger... I think SP1 gives you the ability to uninstall it from add/rem programs. The binaries might be on my computer, but they never run(pretty much ditto for IE).

I've never seen a drive show up as unknown in device manager.. perhaps it is your encolusre that is showing up as unknown, have you installed the drivers?

come on p5, everyone knows MSN is an integral part of windows.

i hope you are kidding

ouch, i see we have plummetted to the low 60's place in overall team ranking... And despite me doubling my output I have not rased rank within our team hardly at all.

careful, it might send coupons and rebates to the printer for items you dont need nor want.

yeah, some people are techno phobes.

im planning on seeing it.

there is no such thing as an honest politition

actually, from my point of view the administrations have been "going up against big oil(and other neergy providers) and the big 3 auto makers". Both industries are regulated and ARE under control to a major extent. I think there are a few loop holes, like SUVs... but mostly I see the problem of...

in that case, dont bother buying anything for the computer you are selling. just strip it out.. The largest part(s) I would sell together are the mobo/CPU as a combo and maybe the RAID card and drives together.

what cases are good right now besides the non solutions series Antec?

maybe the solution is price fixing that keeps mdeical care to a reasonable level vs a healthcare system doomed from the start... make private companies figure out how to operate with a fixed amount of income.

That 8500DV doubled the noise of my HTPC.... I think I can probably live with it though. If not there's always the VIVO 9x00 series of radeons that are passively cooled.

i was thinking that piecing up the system might get you more money as well. Maybe sell the system in a usable state, but take out the RIAD card and drives and sell them seperately... It's hard to say if that is a fair price... I wouldn't pay that much simply because I'm not interested in RAID...

That would make me pissed... how exactly does a router pass an ad to your computer? thankfully I bought a router from a decent company...

i usually recomend AVG, ad-aware, and the google toolbar (as a popup stopper) where I work. I find it incredibly hard to get most people to try moz/firebird/thunderbird... you'd think I asked them to trade children with the family down the street.

So what are you going to ask for come christmas time.

My dad always told me the same thing. :wink:

I really like that show and Ira. Great speaker. I never turn off the radio or get out of the car if that show is on and I catch it. I'm just entranced.

hehe.. i love seeing the BSOD popups when I'm in linux. same with the taskbar updates, security updates, privacy, etc... Does anyone else think that winXP SP2's decision to enable the XP firewall for increased security sounds like thw wrong approach? It seems like I could equate this to having...

I didnt ralize how large NPR's budget actually is. The person I was listening to said 100 Million a year for NPR alone and about 800 million a year for all the local stations combined.

There is no need flagreen. There is a need for affordable healthcare, the supply is short and the demand high. There is currently no problem finding affordable housing or food in the US as a whole. For people that have problems doing these things on there own there already exists programs to...

That's the easy way to add a single user. I guess the webmin people thought it was easy enough that they didnt include an easy interface via GUI for adding single users.. however, there is a batch conversion of the system's users to become SAMBA users. Actually, i think without encrypted...

I didn't see that they caried the C-line sheets there until after I placed the order.. more of an oversight. The place called to confirm my billing address (i put my old address in there by mistake) and could have corrected the problem then, but figured the fellows sheets would be fine. No...

I dont think you'll see much performance difference either way.

heh, how secure.... you can obviously set a user/pass for webmin, but something ou may not be aware of is that you can also restrict access based on IP so that only people on your LAN can access webmin, or even tighter so that only someone on the server can access webmin. That's under webmin...

I know almost nothing about bluetooth, a little about 802.11, and have been using winME/XP since they were available to the public as OEM purchasable products. I dont think there's very much that has changed from win2k to winXP.. winME has several things that make it more attractive then how I...

i've used SWAT, didnt like it... you can use SWAT and webmin at the same time if you wish. The default username for webmin is usually "admin" or "root", the password is usually your root password but could be anything. When you install webmin from the tar file and run the setup script it will...

goto webmin.com and follow the instructions for installing the tar file... (has worked for me on every system I've tried) http://www.webmin.com/download.html If you dont have good luck with that then you can try the redhat RPM. (there are instructions for that as well) Once installed your...

From what I remember, it looked like the pin got pushed in and wasn't soldered to the PCB cleanly. I think it's something you could fix yourself if you had an EE degree or just some good electronics soldering experience. Of course, I think that would void your warranty.

No. I didnt know the test changed on the 26th, I know it changes every once in ahwile.. I actually just started studying with a book I got at the library. The book is a bit old, but I figured it would cover 95% of what I needed. It doesnt include winXP or winME and I dont think the supplemental...

Not trying to dell-bash, I'm refering to the vomit box makers in general. They advertise a really fast CPU, but what they don't mention is that they usually pair that CPU with a motherboard that can't handle anything faster. ex: this abit board is maxed out CPU wise.. or possibly could take a...

wow, that sounds like a pretty good winME box to me.... I dont think winME actually needs any more than 64MB, certainly doesn't require a pentium II 300 to run smoothly. I was studying for A+ and one of the operating system questions asked what the minimum HDD size is required for a win2k pro...

informed people or Dell people?

This place is actually in Kansas City, so I got my oder the next day. Free shipping on orders over $25. Price was the cheapest around too, and what I think is so much better about this compared to the CD wallets is that you can add/rem sheets anytime you want(a necessity for oganization). Here...

Coal burning power plants are responsible for killing alot of the trout that I go fishing for every year near the national divide here in the USA... something I spend weeks of time on and hundreds of dollars doing. i'm not too happy about the acid rain. However, current automobile trends are...

RDRAM makes me shudder.... I'm guessing the AMD machine will have more life in it, both from a RAM standpoint and a CPU standpoint... If you plan on keeping the "keeper" for awhile and upgrading it later on, then I'd keep the AMD... if you plan to get rid of the "keeper" in a year OR never...

Those are some steep requirements... aren't those about the winXP requirements?

I think that's a biggie, another thing I was thinking, but did not have time for. In the linux world it is common for a password protected server to deny access if it is not given a correct username and or user/pass combination and not re-prompt for a user/pass. While this shouldnt be a...

unfortunately we have a chandelier as one of our main sources of light(dingin room/ computer room.. I hate it... I hope, as you've said, that they come with some sort of bulb replacement for those small incadecents they use. I've thought of just getting a floor lamp and using that instead, but...

I have you beat alot in the electrical dept.(during the hottest month of the year i payed $75. That is with 2 people in an apartment though...But my gas bill is f*ing crazy... hell if I know how to figure it out. I might use between 0 and 2 units of gas a month... i would say an average of $5...

For the fast reader, Merc. I use a combination of VNC/SSH and webmin for managing my server. Webmin handles just about everything, but occasinally I'll want to install a program via kpackage/APT. For halflife server administration I have to use VNC/SSH. I find webmin absolutely great for...

You're right.. the ATX form factor is too flat, perhaps the BTX will offer 1 more cup size... and I'm sure many of you cannot wait till the release of the Ctx and Dtx form factors... or, shudder, the double DTX...

To tell you the truth Merc I'm very surprised you even noticed the problem with the drive before plugging it in. I'm not blind, but I would not be checking every contact and pin to make sure it's 100%. I'd probably be so excited to get a new drive i'd skip right over it... only to notice...

actually handy, after some looking on hotscripts.com I found this. Here's the result of a test I performed... all I had to do was upload the .jpg files and the script did the HTML making for me. I think this will fit my needs perfectly. Thanks again to all who contributed ideas.

thanks

jtr, what does your electric bill look like? gas?

oh yeah, im using server side includes throughout my site so simply generating a text file that only has the img/link tags would be all that would be necessary... all the boiler plate HTML and CSS would allready be taken care of in another file(s).

that would be very nice of you if you would. here's an example of the HTML I'm using for each thumbnail. <p align="right"> Mechanical Fairy So each thumbnail is a link that points directly to the image file... each thumbnail ends with a "-thmb", the name is otherwise the same as the full...
