And who would have thought that an FTC case would prove to be so interesting. All it needs now is for a couple of bodies to turn up floating down the East River and they got themselves an Oscar winning script. I can see it now: "JEDEC Confidential" CK

Since Xbits updated their website about a month ago, the back button has become disfunctional (using ie6). If you look at the back button history it shows "tex_elite_80211_lb" and then below it the Xbits page. What the heck is tex_elite....? I checked the source but no reference to it, and...

Perhaps you've seen this before...anyways, the other night I was watching a show on sharks that was aired on the Discovery Channel. They played a now infamous clip that I wanted to see again...unfortunately I didn't get to capture the rebroadcast because it came on at some ridiculous hour in...

Its a couple of days old, but its some interesting news from the server market. If the news I saw today is true - more Vegesna supporters forced to leave, and several key resignations submitted out of disgust - then the CSFB analyst is way off the mark. Vegesna might end up taking a big chunk...

Is it just me or is there some sort of denial of service attack going on today, cause a lot of the net is crawling at times. Noticed things started slowing down late last night. CK

I don't think anyone has mentioned it before, and I just came across it this morning. Anyway, info/link is at the bottom of this page. Apparently the new name has been choosen, but hasn't been disclosed as of yet. CK

Need for a "Toolbox Reference Section" ? I have a real affinity for organization and the centralization of information...actually its more of an affliciton that often ends up bogging me down, but that's a story for another day... Anyways, it kind of surprises me to see a site like SR lacking...

Haven't read it yet, but its finally out literally weeks overdue CK

To my surprise, I happened to notice that Sivar has been designated as moderator on 4 of the 5 user forums. This has long been needed and, on the surface, is a positive development for the SR community. Lets just hope that saying about absolute power doesn't apply to Sivar :wink: CK

Hey, Well I was just watching CNN for a couple of minutes to catch the latest news on the Columbia disaster. I was quite shocked that, just before CNN came back online to update what items have been recovered, an HP commercial was aired - you've probably seen it as it showcases a person in...

Just thought it would be interesting to hear some design ideas/wishes you'd like to see become widely incorporated. Feel free to address any item. I'll start with a couple of my own to start: (1) Antec seems to have gotten the right idea with the drive cages that they've placed in their new...

For those who won't see my same post on SR: I was looking for some info on some brands of CD media when I came across this German site, CD-forum, that provides a great info database on available discs. Easy to use, easy to search. I know there are others, but this one seems to be more...

I'm hoping someone can fill me in on this: How does Linux get around the points outlined on this Zoom Player page? Glancing at OpenDVD.org doesn't answer the question as it hasn't been updated for ~year and a half. Didn't spot anything on Xine pages either. A google search on "Linux DVD...

Definitely not as enjoyable places anymore - and perhaps haven't been for a while (possibly the reason why many of you now frequent SR quite seldomly, if at all anymore in some cases?). Nonetheless, in the more recent past, I believe that there has been a definite shift in the atmosphere...

I came across this Corsair page wherein the following is written: Now is there something wrong here or is am I missing something. ie. the use of synchronous and asynchronous seems to be reversed. Can someone explain. (P.S. I am aware of how registered RAM works, so no explaination is needed...

I will need a few drives (purely for storage, for myself and a couple of friends with similar needs) in the near future and was thinking that the Samsung's are the obvious choice both $ and warrenty wise. However, this this SR post caught my attention, and so I welcome any comments on it or...

I hope this new MS initiative hasn't been posted before, it was too good to pass up.... Happy holidays, CK

Not a whole lot has been mentioned about the upcoming chipsets, yet official announcements are expected relatively soon (Q1 2003?). Anyone have any recent news on them? Any predictions -> will they get it right? Cheers, CK

Hey hey! I like the new colours. Cheers, CK
