Gyros doesn't actually contain lamb. Lamb doner, which is Turkish, looks like gyros, and is made of lamb.

Dunno. Never thought about it, but thats what is generally believed. http://www.superford.org/lounge/fvf/fvf_2.php

I never had problems swapping drives with the Promise - only the highpoint. Isn't the Fasttrack by Promise?

But its not nice though is it? :evil:

The question is, is it a guid for administering or recieving anal sex? :lol:

I used to have an Ultra66 some 3 years back, it worked OK most of the time but its early Win2k drivers were absolute pooh, repeatedly causing the dreaded "IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN" BSODs till I threw it out - and the next day they released proper drivers for it that actually worked :oops: But I...

BTW... that Pentium Pro. It got on my nerves, wouldn't always want to boot from CD and I got rid of it for a very nice price on ebay - around $150 on ebay as a complete system with enlight case and all. For the Tualatin my head and wallet don't want to agree with my heart. So go ahead everyone...

How good is the Tualatin 1.13/512k for F@H? I bought one on impulse, it was a good deal, £50 which is under $100 when the new ones go for more than double that. it actually comes with a makeshift Powerleap adaptor - the guy got a pin carriage as he calls it, a socket that takes the the CPU on...

Ira female equivalent, Aurelia, ws also the name of an old Lancia car. OK, I'll shut up now :mrgrn:

BTW, there was a big cooking thread at Ars Technica some time ago - I'm about to go check if it still exists.

I didn't mean it was unreasonable - just that I find that I can never get myself to cook anything unless I'm starting to get hungry - and if it took 3 hours I'd eat it - and think it was good - whether or not it was :) But thats just me.

Olives or Onions. If it took three hours to prepare you must have been so hungry that my slipper would have tasted nice. Your claims about it being the best pizza are therefore disregarded :P

No, but what would be the point? He would still get all the spam and viruses.

The point is, he doesn't want to change email addresses as it will be a hassle - all his business contacts have had this address for a few years now. I think Mozilla and some spam filtering it provides will be adequate.

Certainly everything has security holes, but the fact is that most worms etc are created to work on Outlook.

Hmm.. how come I always thought the plural was virii then?

I thought virii was the correct term?

Sliding trays with card mountings are blessed. Theres nothng nicer than working on a a tray and mobo rather than stacking the whole tower on your knees.

Sorry, never seen any of those for SDRAM... :cry:

Good idea, e_dawg. I might do that. I use VNC on my machines here at home but didn't think of that. I checked out Mozilla's mail client and it seems fairly straightforward. I've told him to ask the guy who's so happy to charge him hundrerds to reinstall Windows, to install Mozilla and get it...

I checked out Eudora, but am not going to install it as the free version contains some sort of adware. I'm going to try Mozilla now.

Honold, thanks for the suggestions, but IIRC most of these options do not exist on the version of OE that ships with Win98SE.

Nice... who knows when they'll actually come to market though?

Well he could turn it off but he has enough trouble learning to use email anyway (3 years down the line and still struggling), so I'd not want to make life more complicated for him...

He's using the version of Outlook that ships with Win98SE. He doesn't open attatchments but the problem lies with the preview pane and its related worms. Meanwhile he's in another country so I can't really patch things up that easily. I'll give Mozilla a try, and see if I find it easy I might...

My dad is using Outlook, and has been using the address of our provider back home that I used to use when I knew nothing about computers (1997... or somewhere thereabouts). Needless to say I used to fill out all these silly forms like all newbies, and as a result his box is full of spam, but...

Have they got nothing else to do? I guess they can't figure a way to increase the P4's IPC so they get high on changing pinouts :roll:

No, I just won't help anyone again... simpler :wink:

Thanks Doug, that app saved the day. Most of my stuff was backed up, but not my emails relating to work and some stuff I was selling on ebay.

Thanks everyone, I will try your suggestions. Coug, I was not going to go all the way to this guys house to fix it so I told him to bring it over... To further add to the problem I was using the version of fdisk that incorrectly reports sizes above 60gb. It showed me that there were two...

Well as always you try to be heplful to someone who cannot fdisk their drive and of course go ahead and fdisk yours by mistake. yes I know I should have disconnected mine, I usually do but I was in a hurry and wanted to get rid of this guy. I've also been up from very early and not really awake...

Hi, I accidentally fdisk'ed my drive by mistake, is there anything specifically designed to recover from this situation, like unformat.exe but for fdisk? Or shall I try generic recovery software? Thanks

She was probably mingin' :P . If she wasn't, he wouldn't have contacted the police :mrgrn:

Use the name of elements for computers. Gold, Oxygen, Platinum etc. Of course, you could try naming them after ex-girlfriends as a friend of mine does, but I haven't had as much experience in that department as he has ;)

Those should be fine. Its when you replace the entire thing and as a result move the location that the hot air problem (pun intended) occurs.

I fail to understand how one cannot notice their organ being gently roasted. He must have been absorbed in his work, alright!

Oh, and another popular accessory is the sport filter kit, like K&N or Pipercross cone or pancake filters. Most of the time these are done in 5 minutes with a screwdriver in someones drive and this results in a decrease in power in many cases. This is because most people just remove the factory...

Unless the original exhaust is really badly designed, most of cases the power difference is negligable, and by reducing backpressure you increase power, but decrease the torque, so its not much use. De-catting on the other hand gives a noticeable increase in performance. Fushigi, you reminded...

The hybrid Civic is a cool idea, an extension of the VW Golf Ecomatic that used to stop its diesel engine at the lights, it came out around 10 years back but no one cared much for it :( Citroen made a 3.3l/100km diesel version of the AX in 1993 but the whole AX series was so flimsy that they...

I got the case for the pentium pro, set it all up, its pretty damn fast for a 200MHz machine working in Windows as it has plenty of memory. Loading up large programs takes some time but I'm currently running it on a 2.1Gb Caviar which is junk, so either I'll stick a WD Enterprise in it (I have a...

In your original post you menioned you don't need a heatsink.... all I'm saying is that you do :) With a large heatsink you don't need a fan, no. Check this passive cooler I got off a Dell, it still gets hot enough to burn at full load on a 200MMX, but in the Dell it was hear the PSU fan...

You'd certainly need a heatsink on one, and a fan too in most cases. I've run a 233mmx without a heatsink and it was too hot to touch after 10-15 seconds. I remember the time when Cyrix were said to be running so hot and kept crashing, looking at the specs on...

Just picked up a Pentium Pro 200/256k, Intel Performance/AU motherboard, and four 64mb Crucial sticks of 50ns EDO from work :D They were throwing it out FFS!! Once the ATX case I've ordered comes through I'll fire this baby up and add a third machine to my Folding group. That CPU does get...

Whats with my replies today? I sound like Santilli with my short sentences!

Oh, and get a VIA EPIA based computer that only consumes around 50W in total, for most people in the world who only use the computer to surf.

That PC probably puts out the same amount of pollution when being used during its entire life as does an SUV going to the shops. :D Assuming your electricity isn't from renewable resources. In fact, most cars (and maybe computers) creat more pollution when they are being manufactured than they...

Another TBSC reccomendation

I have no problems with noticeable eyestrain when just using the computer, but if I'm going to read any significant amount of material then I much prefer paper. Nothing beats having a read on the toilet, or in bed last thing at night :wink:

Yes but there simply isn't enough data in the world to fill up such a drive. I mean, what exactly do you inted to store? What is there in the world that can take up so much space?

Thanks. There was a similar app with Adaptec EasySCSI.
