the hot cold relationship continues: Dell puts its chips on Intel

Well, actually, I think I recall it being done before .... nonetheless, I'll make this a momental occassion were I actually have something nice to say about Asus: This looks interesting.

AMD has reached a licencing agreement with Rambus .... (you know, that company that was everybody's "yesterday's villian" .... they, of course, said they weren't the real villians ... and, to their credit, the outcomes of several recent litigation suits would tend to lend some credence to their...

SR has their review....I haven't read it yet. Will do so in a little while.

Its on for $975CDN till ~Jan 5th (or something) ... One of those blue moons when dell.ca has 25% off. The 2005 currently falls in ~$565CDN (or something)

Indeed, mythical beings do, on occasion, transcend into reality ..... stupid elves.

Browser name: SUSE/1.5-0.1 Firefox Version: 1.5 Platform: Linux i686

I'm sure there was probably a more modern or even related thread to put this in, but whatever: http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=13107 Say it ain't so Tannin, say it ain't so.

http://www.digitimes.com/mobos/a20051226A7037.html I never really "got" the Abit lovefest that was so prolific across the net. I know they somewhat catered their products towards the overclocking crowd, but outside of that aspect, all too often I would see heaps of admiration spoken of them...

http://www.digitalworldtokyo.com/archives/2005/12/drm_to_delay_bl.html I really have no pressing interest in HD-DVD, Blu-ray, evd and whatever other formats are out there right now. Somebody wake me when the Draconian Reactionary Monopolisation schemes are cracked.

Its a function of that, but its also very much dependent upon your filters (decoders, splitters/demuxers) and viewing/playback app.

WMV acceleration has been around for a while. But, as Merc pointed out, do you really want that carrot? However, what I think you were actually referring-to/meant was the newly provided acceleration for H.264/AVC.

Nice shots Greg. I really like the one where she's looking for moths.

Its still pretty good for me, albeit not as peppy as the other day ...

The retardedness of Apple oh we support standards ... just don't expect us to follow them!

I like this beblu case(s). In case you're wondering, the optical drive case connects to the mothership via usb. The price is horrid though. In general (i.e. talking beyond niche products like ITX, SFF...), I look forward to the day when optical drives and hard drives shrink in size and the...

I generally don't play video games, but I thought that the Wolvix LiveCD Games Edition was neat ... They write:

I think I've posted this before in the past, but tis the season....and anyways, at the very least, JTR might like it: USB Christmas lights

Did you even know about Compacting Folders? I suspected deleted emails were being retained, but didn't know for sure until I was on Mozillazine a couple of weeks ago, looking for some unrelated info, and came across the compacting info. As the article implies, compacting seems a little buggy...

I'd say we probably recieved only ~10-12cm from that storm. Another white Christmas ... been a few of those in recent years, after a whole slew of green ones.

The site seems the snappiest its ever been for me right now (very responsive) ... did the support monkeys actually make any changes?

cat /proc/cpuinfo

I believe 3007wfp monitors are make-believe, just like elves, gremlins, and eskimos. Every new monitor has shown up on TCO first, then datasheets, then Dell's website. It ain't on TCO. Ergo, it ain't real.

What I described is emulation mode. You could also look into el torito booting with no emulation mode, via isolinux. Awesome for your multiboot needs.

No. First off, if a disc has been finalized, you can't add anything to it. Now in the case of a boot CD, in order for the el torito method to work, the disc needs: - a "Boot Volume Descriptor" located at the 17th sector - a pointer in the Boot Volume Descriptor the marks the first sector of...

Its currently -8C here in Toronto ... feels like -16C with the windchill. Pretty cold for this time of year. But can't complain, as we really had an awesome autumn. Anyways, the way I see it, Winter ends with the conclusion of February, so 84 more days till Spring will be in the air.

For me, 1.5 on Windows is faster then 1.0.7 1.5 on Linux is slower then 1.0.7 I do note that the former problem has been resolved ... i.e. flashblock v1.5 works

That mirrors my experience: The slew can be found here. FWIW, I found the Duse driver was the best of the lot. I can take a look at my usbboot.img later on, if you like, to see how I set it up.

Weight v.s Mass

Yeah, I tried those browsers last night. They just plain sucked! I've seen browsers suck before, but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked. [Exits thread as gracefully as he entered]

Thanks Tannin ... I figure if I repeat myself and repeat myself enough times, some are bound to notice (how ya like them apples, eh Merc :D )

I agree that the thing is pretty stupid looking and the design is "reaching"....kind of looks like a number 6 candle for a birthday cake...anyways, like David, I do, however, also think that it would fit-in in some situations ... design firms or studios etc etc.. whatever....Lian Li hasn't done...

Okay. Here's the scoop. Digital signals delivered by: - encapsulating the video and audio streams in what is known as a MPEG Transport Stream - the TS is modulated onto an RF carrier signal ... cable happens to use quadrature amplitude modulation i.e. QAM Digital signals are received by: -...

Unfortunately mangy, that card won't be any good to Buck, as its a DVB-T card ... While pretty much the rest of the world has opted for DVB standards, the three amigos that constitute N.A. (and a few other wackos like S. Korea) have chosen to use ATSC for broadcast (i.e OTA). For digital...

I know, I know, I said I wouldn't, but you really have to read this. I was watching CBC's Venture recently and they did a piece on corporate scandels. I believe it was the commentary from one of the fraud unit cops they interviewed that stands out in my mind -- essentenially, the individual...

Maybe Dell didn't initiate anything. Maybe Intel, confident with new orders from Apple, said "hey Michael, about your next contract, its going to cost a little more." And maybe all along AMD was saying "hey Michael, cut us some action and we'll cut you some slack". Anyways, the only loser I...

Re: Asus boards. Well my opinion of Asus is on record, however, I do have to admit to be interested in the A8N-VM CSM What kind of cable are we talking about Buck -- analog or digital? And do you have any ambitions for HDTV? Recommendations in the waiting.

I read the post as mostly, but not exclusively ... in otherwords there may be time when one appreciates a finer fidelity than that outputted by many of the crappy players out there. The Nano is interesting. I wonder how long it will be untill there are knock offs

Come on Tannin, we're talking Compaq here -- they received a promotion while the competent designers were fired.

It uses an LG panel but is manufactured by Benq. Benq also manufactures the 2405 (which uses the Samsung panel). It looks like they have a LG manufactured 2006WFP in the works now too. http://tco.networks.nu/index_publicsearch.htm

It sounds to me like the seller had used the drive in an external enclosure. He/She probably used the drive as a repository for backups. Maybe they even brought it to their friends' places and swapped files a couple of times. Maybe the seller was/is a service tech who used the drive in an...

I had an iriver unit for a short period and liked it....Andy also apparently like(s/d) his. But you might also want to see the views of a wider audience....I could see the control knob becoming disfunctional, as some reported.....I think they have new designs out now, so don't know if they are...

Andy, I've got it going now. I would love to tell you exactly what I did, but I'm a little fuzzy on what exactly it was that actually got the job done. Nonetheless, what I did do was: - log in as root and edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf again so that the "5 6" values for Z axis. Rebooted, and as user...

he he ... just got back in and found that out myself ... interestingly though, the scroll wheel isn't mucked up like last time...just the thumb "back" button is inactive again .... applying the xmodmap command and things are backed to being mucked up (mouse wheel scroll up is now the back...

After some google sleuthing I've finally got my mouse's back button to work, and strongly suspect you guys can get your mouse working too: First off, I'm using one of the original Logitech cordless optical k/b & mice combos - the Cordless Freedom Optical seen here; which really just means...

Dandata had a look at PFC a while ago....always a good read.

Excellent post Fushigi. The user comments are quite interesting too. Love the C|Net history rewriting (or Soviet airbrushing as one person accurately alluded to it).

I'm wondering what the impact on LiteOn is in all of this. That NEC - LiteOn story that I posted about a while ago was denied by NEC, but the wording in their denial was, as astute readers observed, highly suspetable to interpretation - namely keywords pointed to there likely to have been truth...

Tis true -- > http://www.cdfreaks.com/news/12698

Yep, that and apparently /usr/include/asm so says Oreilly's Running Linux. by there do you mean /usr/src or /usr/src/linux-whatever ? As I certainly didn't do the later. Exactly. And the O'Reilly book even makes mention of saving the old kernel source tree by cd /usr/src mv linux linux.old tar...
