i don't know if i've ever had Moz crash.. even the alpha releases.... I have ran into a few minor bugs every now and then... but none have prevented me from doing what I want.

i thought there was a fix for that, because it's a well known bug...

I believe any newer gen IDE drive (40GB or larger platters and 7200rpm) is faster than a 7200rpm SCSI product. And I believe the 10k raptor is competative with 10k scsi products. In some single user senerios I would believe an 8MB cache IDE drive could be faster than a 10k SCSI drive.

I use the Moz browser, IRC client (Chatzilla), and the moz email. The Moz email has worked far better than OE since before it was called Moz... (I pretty much only use IMAP). IE may be my main browser, but I love Moz for email. Personally, I'd like to see it kept as a suite... but I can live...

I'd jsut putthe page on the two cheetahs, 1GB fixed page file is plenty for most people. If you disconnect a drive that should normally hold the page file windows will either 1) if a normal page file exists on a current drive it will use that... otherwise 2) if no page file exists and paging is...

Have fun and enjoy the new toy!

agreed

you can get the wmp 8, and 9 codecs from microsoft.com... they should work fine in any media player that supports the use of avi codecs... personally, I use bsplayer the most. I used to use Sasami 2k (aka sasami 2000) but it has fallen out of production and hasn't been updated in years.

absolutely... oh wait, the cat's calling me.. brb..

that doesn't count.. i sit on my own posts and hit refresh like a madman.... not really...

oh, yeah... you an get it here for $20 USD http://www.act-labs.com/scripts/catdetails.asp?catcode=gameacc-funcpad

Someone just introduced me to the fUnc mousepad... it's a harder surface nicer pad... comes with two sides (one meant for ball mice and one meant for optical), a clip for your cord to prevent tugging, and is large and flat. Probably the perfect mousepad. I'm buying one within the week.

sorry, i only know about CD-R's... i stick to Taiyo Yuden (Fuji film) and Mitsubishi (Verbatim Data Life)... you could try www.CDRlabs.com and look at their DVD forum...

Maybe it's that I wasn't using more than say 50% of my 75GXP's... or maybe it's taht they had faster access times than the WD... or maybe it's that the average STR of the WD wasn't that much different... In any event, it wasn't noticably faster... maybe if I timed to copying of really large...

nice....

You know better than that. An 8mb cache drive is no more reliable that it's 2MB cache brother... Concern for your data should not be relieved because you have a 3 year vs 1 year warranty. The fact that the drive might die between 1 and 3 years and you can get a replacement that will keep you...

As far as I know SCSI drives have had a standard 4-8MB cache for a while... a year or more... But I think you have it wrong, I'd rather have a 10k disk with the same STR as a JB drive. Even if the 10k drive had less cache. The 8mb cache only does so much.. and only under certain senerios...

yeah, i certainly wait more on the network than I do on my disk...

i allready jumped off the train when i didnt notice any direct improvement from going to 2x75gxp's to a single 800JB.. The 800JB is basically 3 minor generations(15->20->33->40) ahead and yet didn't make a noticeable improvement. One thing that I'm hoping will make an improvement is the...

Right now there are like 4 users of the server... it's not a public mail server(is there such a thing?)... I use IMAP and SMTP only.. pop is not running.. all users are remote. Merc, I know that backing up /home is important as well, but I guess I'm just used to backing up mail serperate from...

yes, I found out that my mail actually does seem to be in /var/spool/mail/ maybe I need to make sure it's all in one location... could some of it be spread out across the two places? oh crap, i think it is spread out.... everything in the "inbox" is in /var/spool/mail/, while everything in...

I like the built in winNT backup... easy... reliable... has 2 modes (wizard and manual)... I have used it several times in winXP to create backups of all users settings/files... typically works great.. esp before a reformat. you have to remember to create each user and log them in before...

lol, ima doof, but thanks for your help honold

yeah, i figured i'd use that on my account... but I'm wondering if there's some type of script i can do that will backup everyone's mail.. and possibly server settings (could be seperate from mail).. but i';d like to make it a script... and as simple as possible... can I do something like: #...

yeah, i liked the "They told us it was full," line.

Easy backups were one of the things i loved about Mdaemon (mail server i used in NT4).. all files kept in a central location.. easy to backup while it was running... could be backed up locally or remotely... restoring a backup of the server settings and email to the same system or even another...

yeah, that's true.. at the end of each track there's a blank spot... this is used to seperate 1 track from the next... it's no big deal, and I've never heard about any programs choking on it... it's normal. In DaO mode the whole disk is made at once, and thus no further tracks might be added in...

I listen to the BBC world service when I catch it... My radio never turns off of NPR when I'm the only one listening... In fact.. I own 3 radios and 2 of them are tuned to NPR (national public radio) right now.. the other one is my alarm clock which is tuned to the most annoying station I could...

that was terrible

I meant other websites hosted on swordfish... so we could verify that they are slow when SF is slow... heh.. that sql page loads faster every time i refresh the page(cahcing maybe)... statred off @ 2.1 secs...went to 1.7...etc...etc... till it got to a base of ~0.07 seconds... And I'd have to...

that's what i was thinking when i made my post

Do you think we should go with the name brand supermicro setup for $500 or should we buy a case ourselves for $200 and a regular micro ATX motherboard for another $100? I was actually considering this: A7N266-VM As e_dawg gave it his approval as the best bargain board and it looked like it was...

One of the senior clan members works at a place with an OC3 connection, he is allowed to put our game serer on it if he works a couple extra hours every week. 1 of the conditions is the server *needs* to be in a 1U or 2U case. The cheapest rent-a-server style solutions we could find was $600...

number 2 and 3 are the smartest things i've heard all week.

yeah, i dont understand why DaO? why not TaO or SaO? wont each of them work about the same for a CD-R backup? won't the all be readable by any CD-ROM drive made in the last 8 or so years?

The last one I installed didn't seem all that tight... although I usually loosen them up a bit because I'm afraid of damaging the CPU... But yes, I agree it's good to have pressure so that you squeeze the excess grease out and ensure as much contact between the die and the metal.

hmm.. does this JUST involve emails? like, can they just CC a copy of the emails to a couple backup accounts? lol...

Are you allowed to tell me what other servers they host? (reverse lookup doesn't seem to be setup) As I said before even visiting the URL http://swordfish.dnsvelocity.com/ was quite slow (considering the content) at the same time the forums were really unresponsive.. so it's not just us. it's...

if they're just backing up stuff on their server(a central location), what's preventing them from building another server just for backups or "archives" so to speak... could be offsite, could be onsite, could use 5400RPM moster drives... could be RAIDed.... is expandible.... how long do they...

Just a single IDE disk 7200rpm. ... 1 full size CD-ROM drive... we'll probably get a single CPU athlon/p4 mobo and 1GB of RAM.

400 watt? It seems like most 1u cases come with 250-300 watt units... I was looking for which I want? or is neither good?

didn't I see the 120GB 180GXP on newegg for the same price? The 180GXP also scores well on the quiet scale.. only difference is that it's a performance leader and not a trailer... and, of course, your opinion on IBM..

For the past week i've been on the server in both the daytime and the evening to the wee hours of the morning.. I say it tends to get slow in the evening to wee hours in the morning.. during the day it's ranges from fast to fine... at night it ranges from fast to "the pits".

looks like anywhere we go we'll be spending ~$200 on a case/PSU.... what do you think about somethign like this? Seems like an OK price for case, floppy, slimline CD, PSU and an iNTEL 845 p4 mobo. we have a 1.7ghz p4 we could pop in there... and if we later needed it we could goto a 400mHz...

heh, ok. I was basically planning on giving a couple hundred $$ of old equipment (working 440BX w/ pIII system) so my clan could put it in a rackmount server, unfortunately I just found out we are limited to a 1u or 2u rack... so my slot pIII ain't going to work. We're trying to find some good...

As already mentioned earlier tonight.. my spelling goes to pot after 12:00am... maybe I need to clean this keyboard...

aww, you didnt mentino the old post i dug up tea... how old where you then?

is there *any* advantage to mechanical storage when compared to sold-state storage (besides cost)?

I had an ISA intel NIC fail on me for no reason too... it just suddenly one day decided not to work.. if i remember correctly it would freeze the PC when windows was trying to load.. or maybe just freeze the PC altogether... Never worked that good anyway... ping times within the LAN were very...
