    Poll:When will we reach the new 48-bit LBA limit?

    I don't see anyone having enough data to put on such a drive. I mean, where would you get all this data from? an entire database of all the people on earth, their photos, their family home videos, photos of every object avaialbe, all videos, movies, photos ever taken... and probably still...

    BMW Z4, like it or not?

    Whoops, didn't manage to finish my message, the 4Motion is powered by an NA 3.2 litre V6. Mercutio, let your brothers have a go in a Jap luxury barge. No prestige and a dull image but if something like a Lexus doesn't satisfy them then theres no car for them. That said, the IS300 is one of the...

    BMW Z4, like it or not?

    Theres a twin turbo 1.8?? I know theres a light pressure single turbo 1.8 with 150hp and a hotter 180hp version but twin turbo? :o They've announced the 240hp 4Motion, http://www.caranddriver.com/xp/Caranddriver/carnews/0211_upfront_golf.xml It does look good though!

    BMW Z4, like it or not?

    I wouldn't say they are doing well in the driving enjoyment sector though. Their cars nowdays are too firmly damped but with with soft springs and high profile tyres, especially the Golf IV. The Golf GTI has gone downhill in driving enjoyment since the first GTI 20 years back. Too heevy, bulky...

    Another stupid late night idea ...

    I'm not sure they're silent - as far as I've seen they make a buzzing whiney noise. It nice though :)

    BMW Z4, like it or not?

    West German, Tea. Nah, don't like it. S2000 is nicer but the front end looks too typical Japanese-ey. I've heard of a 320hp 3 litre straight 6 S2000R version coming next year on the net but thats probably BS. I'd love a used TVR Cerbera though, even if it falls apart and leaks when it rains...

    Which Socket A?

    Can't you get hold of the Zalman northbridge heatsinks? Not exactly cheap but they work well and look good at it too. They probably go for around $15-20.

    Which Socket 7 board?

    There was no outcome. I just sold the entire machine on ebay and told the guy I couldnt get the BIOS to install. He didnt seem to mind. I mean, it works fine but you cant mess with anything and thats not good :D

    Does programming make you appreciate the work of others?

    It would normally be the first option, but upon re-reading it, I dont think 'selflessly' applies. They are getting paid right? And they are most probably enjoying their work. As far as piracy is concerned: Little programs I use often I pay for (WinRAR, Winamp (when it wasnt free), etc). Big...

    Never heard of Terra boots, but the Caterpillars are pretty good. The ones in that photo have been used almost daily for near three years.

    Which Socket 7 board?

    OK, I made the floppies once more, from DOS (booted from W98 startup disk). Still gives same error. Then I do an ls and the disks, each and every one of them are empty! I check it in Windows also and the same - no hidden files, just 72kb used space on all three. WTF?

    I made the disks in DOS, and this time I get the message bad command interpreter and the mahcine halts - I have to reset it. I am trying to make that partition - ROMPaq or whatever they call it. Crapaq would be much more honest. Basically I want to get to the BIOS and I cant! Also, I tried...

    Which Socket 7 board?

    I made these using the .BAT file I downloaded - it then did all the formatting etc by itself so shouldn't that work anyway? I have no 9x machines to do it from, do you think if I booted to DOS and ran the BAT file from there to create the floppies in DOS it would work?

    Hi, Basically, I get this error when trying to boot with the Compaq disks which are the ones that create that partition with the BIOS info. I cannot understand why it wants NTLDR in there?? The hard drive has been totally zeroed. It just beeps if I try to press the F10 key (or any other key)...
