Thank you Merc!

Are you going to get broadband Merc?

Whew. I was on a three week vacation (not that I managed to totally relax my nerves, too nervous about work), and now I've been working again for a week. (Next time I go on vacation, please remind me to also loose my mobile for the duration or if one of you is attached to their mobile with an...

Been away on vacation for a vew weeks, and I haven't seen a computer in that time, so this might already have surfaced somewhere here. But if it hasn't, according to this we won't see SP2 until next year: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle/servicepacks.mspx I was hoping to get SP2 with...

I'm using an old Toshiba sd-m1401. It has worked ok. You can get a region fix for it also, if you need it. Don't know if it's available anymore, I bought it some years ago. It was the only one available then (SCSI that is, and available as in Finland and from the distributors I use). Someone...

Yes, I hope will get a chance to see the pictures too? As buck implied, try to get tannin occupied so that you can take some decent pictures ;) . Have fun!

Welcome Tallman! Hope you enjoy this place.

You did notice the IT part I was referring to? The situation does change if you take into account what the "common" man earns.

:beer: What!? Isn't the above considered excercising your arm muscles? (Damm, then I can't call myself an athlete anymore? Bummer....) :mrgrn:

Auch...Sounds pretty hefty. :?: (Here in Finland that would be half or more of a months salary for the normal person working in IT. We have a very narrow salary ballpark. Pretty much all I know have a salary between 2-4K euros/month. )

Thank you Bartender, please join us! Cheers everyone! :) (Yeah, yeah, I'm heading for the bar, keep your panties on willya....hick....)

:mrgrn: I've started to get an itch to get some more SCSI stuff, maybe I'll just wait for a while longer... (Also because I'm so content with my X15-36lp, very cool and quiet compared to some 10k cheetahs I have. )

Keep the good news coming! Thanks.

Aaaahhhh, it's coming......*drool* Thanks for the info. Very interesting.

:boom: Sorry, I just have an enormous amount of experience, bad one, from their products... :wink: (similar to the problem first posted...)

DVD burners have gone down in price a LOT in the past six months. We bought a Plextor burner to my previous workplace, and it cost something like 360 euros. Now the same thing is something like 200 euros. I think some of my first cd burners cost about 250 euros....? Something like 2x (of...

Congrats Howell!!!! Congrats Merc!!!! I'm happy for you both. Now it's deffinitely time for a round of drinks! :D BARTENDER!

Stereodude, what gigabit NIC are you using? Could you please post some performance numbers for it? Please post numbers about your raid-system when you get it up and running! Nice system. :D I'm thinking about upgrading to gigabit at home too, for faster access to my file server.

Keep us posted on how it goes, it's always good to hear others experiences about RMAing stuff and the problems they have with products. Hope everything goes well!

FYI, can be found at xbitlabs, in case you haven't seen it yet. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/storage/display/dual-sata-roundup.html

Seems the A7v8X only has a 5/1 pci divider, so going for 200fsb might not be such a good idea. The shops here started importing the Papst fans with rpm monitors a few years ago. Before that they only bought fans without it.

Ahh, the good old days of post counter going wild, crashes, all kinds of fun... :wink: Happy Anniversary C!!!!

Just got word from my friend. Playing music with wmp does not affect the situation, only playing video. And it doesn't matter if the video is full-screen of minimized to the taskbar. He doesn't have winamp installed, yet.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Take care!

Thanks for the tip. I'll try to search for some Panaflos.

Poor chap. He shouldn't be near computers :) Or anything electronical... :mrgrn:

Dare I? It's only an A7v8X, with a sticker on the NB/SB with 333 certified or something similar... ... ... OK, Will try that tomorrow :) XP just crapped out on me, again...Safe mode ok, but normal no. Even with default settings. Although, this installation has been with me through 3-4...

There should be a picture of me on page two (DON'T go there! You've been warned...!!!). Tony told me that he was up one morning at about 4-6am and doing something with his cameras relating to nature. I think he just sent Tea out to photograph ;) and he himself slept all the way until lunch...

Hmm, thanks for mentioning spamassassin. I gotta check that the filters are on...

Uhhh, got my first spam today to this the new sites address. Somebody give me shotgun, and don't try to stop me! :evil:

I might as well put something worthwhile in here, while I'm posting. I and 9 others got sold to another company, and now I'm working as a software designer (used to be senior test engineer). The work hasn't changed though, compared to what I've done for the past six months (Lotus Notes/Domino...

Great work Cliptin!

Forgot about the sticky in feedback, sorry! So it is possible... :o

Come to think of it, how about making this thread a "sticky"? Is it possible? Because this thread does give newcomers some info about this place...us. What do you think people?

Just thought I'd bump this thread up a bit...Not that the pictures are THAT pretty, but anyways..... :mrgrn:

I've been slacking it lately, due to the heat here, but I just put the 1.3 duron and my barton to work. Too bad I don't have a decent lab like I used to (at work) :( .

After 0.5-1 hours of prime it reported an error. So I gave it 0.05V more, but that didn't help. So now I backed it down to 13.5x166. I could of course put a better fan on the cooler, and to the case, but that would of course generate more noise and that is unacceptable. So I'll probably run...

Okey, just inserted all the stuff. Everything's been ok for the last 15 minutes. I've changed the normal multiplier of 12.5 to 14 now, but I'm still using the normal 166MHz fsb. At the moment I'm running prime, and the temperature, with side panel open, is 33 motherboard and 51 processor. This...

The postman just brought me my Barton, so I'm going to do some tweaking tonight! :) I also brougth 2 compucase hc-940 HD coolers. Thought I'd get some of the noise and heat away from the 2 Seagate 10k Scsi drives I have (along with the x15-36lp and A10k3).

As for some other good movies, I'd mention Casablanca, Rio Bravo, Maltese falcon, Final Fantasy (due to the great graphics)...Alien 1-4....

I just got the soundtrack from the movie Shrek, and thought I'd chime in here. Shrek is one of my favourites, if not THE favourite! The movies always gets me in a good mood, which is it's best "feature" for me. Highly recommended!

I've never been much into graphics and web pages. Just not so interested. I'm more interested in server-side stuff, and servers and hardware. For my very modest use, I then think that Dreamweaver would suffice. As I'm an engineer, the looks of things don't matter that much to me :wink: . I'm...

Yup, if I remember correctly it was the so called Whisky class, so it was "Whisky on the rocks" time . :mrgrn: How many of you think that learning HTML is worth it, compared to just using Dreamweaver etc...? As I won't be doing many sites anyway, do you think it's worth the time to get to know...

Wow. That deffinitely changes the possibility to use them. 400-500 *might* be reasonable, depending on amount of stuff and one's income...

(damm, sorry about this :) ) ...and the point was, that the money spent couldn't have been better spent. The help and ease of moving was so big, that a few hundred euros for that is in my opinion worth it.

Oh, forgot about money. I don't know how much renting a truck and movers costs in the US, but I only paid something like 100 euros (=100 dollars) for the lot. 2.5h of truck and help.

When I moved with my gf in december, we hired a moving truck and 2 fellas to help with the move. Boy what a difference compared to moving by yourself and/or your friends and your car/van!!! Next time I'll move, I'll go straight for a moving truck and 4 fellas. Yes, it cost's more, but it'll...

True, true.... :mrgrn:

The distributions are tested (to some extent), so I'll have to agree that sticking to the distro is more trouble free. I had a system that was upgraded from 7.0 ->7.1 -> 7.2 -> 9, with a lot of new versions of programs added in between manually, and ended up with a lot of unresolved...

The "easier" path is to stick to RH distributions, and up2date. With up2date, you get the errata and security etc patches, so that your system is relatively safe from know bugs. But it's not meant to be/isn't an "upgrade distribution" program. For that you need to use a real distribution to do...
