Yep, I know *, but one of the things I was specifically wondering about is the ideas put forth by that authour - For example - are they ridiculous; do they hold water; waste of time; too many partitions; why bother; etc etc. As I'm unsure of his reasoning, then without...

After this post I'm going to resign from continuing to update this thread, but just in case anyone is interested (and lives under a rock), there has been plenty more news - both mainstream and off the beaten track - on this story over the past few days ...including a part 5 from sysinternals...

Thank you i, I'll look that over.

I don't like the conclusion - "decent" undercuts the drive. Take a look at SR's own comparisons database and only a handful of drives do better under their tests -- all of which are either brand new flagship max capacity units or scsi. And here's another point -- where's some commentary on...

There are some points in the Readme to the Kernel source that I'm not sure on. Specifically: Now, did the authour (don't know if it was Linus or not), mean in the first case not to extract the kernel sources to /usr/src area, but instead extract them into your /home/insertname instead?? This...

No, but I just found the trouble maker by previewing one paragraph at a time -- > apache doesn't like "u name -a", where there shouldn't be any space between the u and name. But it doesn't mind uname Reference

still can't ... might be related to Tim's 403 message.

Getting a "You don't have permission" type message! ~10:55PM EST

Hello. I'm looking for your thoughts on Linux partitioning. I read an article a year or two ago in which the authour outlined the following partitioning strategy: /boot / /home /var swap /usr /usr/local /data His reasoning (which seemed logical enough at the time) was as follows (much of...

Part 4

Well, its beginning to look like maybe I was wrong on this one. Hopefully it will cost them 10 Zillion dollars in legal fees and settlements.

Ouch! That ought'da do it. Anyways, there are some more follow ups in case anyone is interested: Part 2 and Part 3

Dang, I is dumb.

Yes, that is why I pondered aloud: Changing their EULA will, of course, have the effect of changing the status of future transgressions from criminal improprieties to, well, simply dumb Draconian practices.....Changing their EULA will, of course, have no effect on changing the status of previous...

I didn't read the links, but I saw something about this last week or so -- wasn't it related to Maxtor drives, and wasn't it Maxtor that admitted a defect in their products (that's what some Nvidia reps were claiming).

I wonder if they've changed their (as opposed to there) EULA yet. Anyways, it would be nice to see MS stand up and do the right thing by strongly condemning this - i.e. "This component is not malicious and does not compromise security". Tannin is right though - their just going to walk away...

As long as there aim remains below the belt, then I'm all for it :P

Likely, but that's too quick and probably painless (unless you botch it)....what we need here is some good ol'fashioned torture....or botched summary executions. I just can't stand most media companies and organizations. As another example, how many times will the MPPA try to tack the...

Okay that Fushigi post was in this thread, but it won't help (I do note that they changed that page since I last saw it (it use to be blue)). Then I thought, what about Linux --> in Suse, K menu > System > Monitior > Processor ... which should give you enough info to fill in the blanks from...

I predict that Dell's house of cards is going to be rocked by accounting irregulartiies and antitrust charges ..... Michael Dell on the chain gang by 2009!

Not for me -- reading stuff like that just gets me angered.

I don't believe the temp difference between the V & W cores is very appreciable -- IIRC, lostcircuits and xbit both showed some good numbers regarding this. Re: ID'ing core Other then making sure you have a up-to-date CPU-Z version, perhaps Belarc advisor ... or maybe that website Fushigi...

The Suse 10.0 LiveDVD It is very good .... but not without posing challenges and distractors from the end user experience. For example, as I alluded to up above, my soundcard (integrated Realtek AC) and network card (integrated Realtek) are not detected by default by the Live disc. Running...

how about "uninstalling" WMP from the Windows components section of Add/Remove Programs. Btw, a new release of MPC is probably emminent. Gabest made a bunch of changes to it recently, including adding an internal mp4 splitter & decoder ... you can read about it here

Jan ol' fellow, good to see you again - haven't seen you around the net for a while. Finish your masters up yet?

Anandtech's review of Gefen's DVI DL highlighted a few interesting points to watch out for.

Anyone using this extention?

A short while back I mentioned I had some good resources (articles, discussions, drivrs) about booting usb with dos. Well, here they are (in no particular order): http://www.bootdisk.com/usb.htm http://www.stefan2000.com/darkehorse/PC/DOS/Drivers/USB/ http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=10215...

Its elves out joy riding in Santa's sleigh Buck. Anyways, this Laptop Review Site might provide some insights.

Thank you for the condolences and relating your stories. Sure sounds like you guys know where I'm coming from. I was just really mad at the whole pointlessness. I think what I really wanted to accomplish by posting, which I kind of forgot or left out, got picked up by you guys quite well...

Sadly, one of my cat's died rather tradegically today at the vets. I am greatly angered by this because - there was likely nothing (in the way of ailments) which warrented this outcome - it was likely quite painfull for him - and this event was all together too similar to that which occured...

Might I suggest you take a spin with the Live version first then? -- its only a 1.1GB d/l and works well (or a least didn't present anything the Yast Control thing-a-ma-ka-bobber couldn't fix) ... plus its easy to see what the different desktop environments are like (KDE, Gnome, the misc...

Thank you for the description Tony. What you wrote sounds very familar. Is this not a same area you have gone to before and perhaps dicussed in the forums? I do note, however, that there does indeed appear to be 2 of Tea's feathery friends on the nearest pole.

Dissapointed that there wasn't much in the way of a discussion on the TB4 results. Perhaps a follow up article is forthcoming. I wonder about the audio testing too. I remember reading a post on SPCR a while back by someone who slammed the way SR does it -- discussing near field interference...

So, in character: Sure! Go ahead. It won't hurt nutten! What could possibly happen? :mrgrn:

Sorry Doug, I'm mostly a village idiot when it comes to Linux land

What, no pics of Tea cleaning the parasites from the teeth of a Salty?

Yes things are a lot clearer now...however, there is still a lot of confusion, as is evidenced in the mailing list (top one), and logical discrepencies are often brought to light. Incidently, an "official" forum will have to remain on the back burner for now...long live the chaos of a mailing...

I think other regions of the world had access to both -- I kept seeing posters on SPCR mention getting the 250GB while there was nary a unit to be found around here...that said, I just noticed its availability at a easily accessible store for me not too long ago (~1 month). However, the 200GB...

A card dedicated to tasks like this, with a small credit balance, is indeed something I was thinking of as an alternative ... definitely something to look into for future considerations. I do remember you mentioned, in the credit card thread that ran a while back, that you use something akin to...

In another thread (the Paypal one) I saw similar misrepresentation with books advertised on half.com. Hardcopies turn out to be paperbacks; full colour turns out to be b/w "international version" (which I'm entirely unclear whether they are legitimate or pirated copies) etc. etc. etc. Up...

So I was looking at setting up a Paypal account the other day, and then I saw what mubs was talking about --> the disclosure of info stuff. So I thought about it - do I really want to disclose credit card info to them? Hmmm. I think not. I'm not at all impressed with them and their...

The only problem with Sleemans are you run into skunky batches (courtesy of the clear bottles) .... nonetheless, I do enjoy their beverages.

Once again I have spoken too soon. This morning, the same problems persist. I'm bewildered at how everything seemed to work fine with the new Flashblock 1.3.3 yesterday (and yes I'm well aware of the 2x FF re-launch requirement i.e. it was installed correctly) and why this morning it yeilds...

Bill had it right -- it was Flashblock. In the process of discovering this I also discovered that disabling Flahsblock through the extentions list (tools> extentions > select Flashblock > right click > Disable) doesn't work. You actually have to go through Flashblock's options (tools >...

Nope. I spoke to soon - after entering the site from the original link it still crashes FF. I must have exited before the page had finished rendering all elements or whatever.

Interesting. I just tried the link I provided to the Bourse (which I just copied off google) and it works. However, when I try from my bookmark: http://www.m-x.ca/accueil_en.php all is lost.

Thanks mubs. I have: Adblock Plus 0.5.9.2 Target Alert 0.8.9.1 miniT (drag+indicator) 0.5 Tweak Network 1.1 Flashblock 1.3.2 I'll try and track down the culprit later on.
