How do you feel about dams? Read my signature ;) As for why I write that, I have seen lots of scientific research that indicates (in some cases quite strongly) global warming exists. I have seen nothing reputable that proves it. Most scientists I have spoken to, or seen quoted in reputable...

A question, Mark, if I may. What would be your stance if tomorrow a FTL (Faster Than Light) drive was discovered that allowed humans to take to the stars. If we came across planets that could support life, but required similar amounts of terraforming to support our life, would you sanction the...

Modelling that I have seen by the Bureau of Meteorology/CSIRO indicate that between latitudes 20~40 South, will get drier. Other latitudes will get wetter. Lake Eyre is a salt pan. When it is dry, there isn't much living in the basin (it is the middle of a desert after all). Around the edges...

I'm interested in moral/philosophical/environmental objections to this idea (ignoring the engineering). Australia is the driest inhabited continent on Earth. If global warming is occurring, we can expect Aus to get drier. Proposal. Open Lake Eyre to the sea. For those that don't know, Lake...

Depends on if you ask Merc or Tannin... :mrgrn: :rofl: :eekers: :oops:

Sigh. I wish I could afford to think about buying an MX-5

Heh. The original one never worked/never showed up in FF for me but the new one does. Thanks.

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=32189 Expands their 500GB range with a 750GB model & adds 1.8" FF drives with 30, 40, 60 and 80GB variants, all spinning at 4200RPM. Meanwhile, Toshiba shoed off 200GB perpendicular recording media 2.5" drive. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=32173

Remapped sectors?

Tea, I think you should lay off of the fermented banana juice looking at the date and time you posted that!

Thanks for this information time, I just came back to ask these questions, and you've already supplied the answer.

All this fan failing talk is very poignant. I replaced the 12cm fan in my SLK1650 last night. It was exactly 12 months old.

These AMD rumours about their secret weapon just won't go away <insert gratuitous Incredibles quote> Bob: [laughing] He starts monologuing. Lucius: He starts monologuing! He starts like, this prepared speech about how *feeble* I am compared to him, how *inevitable* my defeat is, how *the world*...

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=32097 RESEARCHERS AT Tokyo University have succeeded in making blue LED components one centimetre across which emanate light uniformly across the surface.

I thought I'd seen mention of such a device here before, but couldn't find the reference.

Murphy strikes again. Sounds like a crap rename utility though.

Dunno about the IBM/AMD, but I thought the AMD/ATI rumour sprang from Intel/NVIDIA rumours

Seen by OS as IDE device. Bootable. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=32070

There are people worth listening to and there are others. The trick is to sort out the two. ;) This is a carefully orchestrated media campaign. Overkill really, and I think it will backfire to an extent. IMO, this time it is different, too many people's opinion whom I respect say so. My...

This is StorageForum Brother ddrueding! Confess thy sins! It is good for the soul, and, we can all have a good laugh :lol: Come on, it's not like none of us haven't done something similar on the odd occasion. :oops:

Somewhat on-topic I guess, but good for a laugh. The 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,125772,pg,2,00.asp See if you can guess 'em before clicking.

AMD's Conroe counter attack 3.4GHz? http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=32026

While doing a quick lookup of prices in Aus, I noticed that Samsung has a 300 GB drive listed. When did these pop up? I thought that Samsung topped out at 250GB.

Want the Vista look & feel (except transparent windows) without the headache? http://tech.cybernetnews.com/2006/05/20/how-to-make-your-xp-machine-look-like-vista-for-free/

Also, SAM2 uses 4 mounting holes rather than two, so S939 coolers may not fit :(. For how Sempron AM2 compares to S754 Sempron, check this out. For Office apps, S754 wins, for multimedia & most games, the new Semprons win http://hkepc.com/hwdb/am2sempron-1.htm

Actually, I did some digging and Intel's 65nm process is not bulk Si like all their other processes, but Si-Ge from what I'm seeing. Germanium in the matrix is supposed to enable faster switching transistors, the numbers I'm seeing thrown around are 30~40%. I'll have to do more digging.

Yes. FAB 36 (next to FAB 30 in Dresden) has started 65nm production with parts shipping for revenue due July/August. Chartered Semi in Taiwan (FAB 7) has also started production of 65nm chips—1 000 wafer starts/week, which as near as I can figure is about 7% of AMD's total production, ramping...

Isn't it crowded in there? :lol:

Oh yeah. S940 (AM2) is not pin compatible with the older Opteron/FX S940 (Mk. I)

Just in case you've been living under a rock, AMD released Socket AM2 Athlon FX/64/Sempron 64s using DDR2. My cheat sheet. * DDR2 is only faster than DDR400 when you get to DDR2-800 and use ultra low latency DDR2 800. * The caveat to this appears to be video encoding/latest games (read huge...

:rofl: paugie, you just made my day! Lucky I wasn't drinking coffee (well tea actually—Twinings Russian Caravan or Earl Grey) at the time. Why was the post deleted? :mrgrn: :oops:

At one fifth the speed of a conventional drive. Fast enough? By whose definition?

In the same vein http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core-duo-overclocking.html

My reference to Goliath a few posts up was to an Athlon 64 3200+ I've brought on-line. I named it Goliath as I was replaying Starcraft at the time. Had to be there I guess... I also brought my P!!! back on-line as well as a K6-2/450 I found at the dump. I went there to get a case to strip...

About Dell, did I mention this? http://www.storageforum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5727 :eekers:

:eekers: A little percussive persuasion? :mrgrn:

Forgot to mention, a few of the Brotherhood of Storage Gurus :lol: on this board have recommended GetDataBack. I think there is a link in the Tools forum.

I built a K8NF-9 based machine (X2 3800+, 6200TC PCI-E Video) for a friend. A Maxtor DM10 went into it it and it came back after three months with a dead drive.

Well maybe not too silly http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=83 Basically a tool which might help you to find good o/cing AMD E Rev. chips. More info can be found here: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article313-page2.html about ⅓ the way down.

I prescribe a quick dose of SuSE 10.1 or Mandriva. That should get rid of the horrible taste in your mouth. If you need some old skool medicine, I prescribe W2K SP4, but beware, it's a little rough these days... :)

Will, my wife and I honeymooned in Italy in '98. Fantastic place, if somewhat laid back. There is a fantastic amount to see. I'd go back in a minute if I could. Enjoy.

So long as the HX had suitable Tag RAMS's onboard it could cache up to 256MB. Some cheapie manufacturers only had 6-bit tag RAM's, and it would only cache 64MB. Some BIOS's needed a large cache setting as well. You Matrox card probably only has 1MB or 2MB of VRAM--not enough.

:lol: And welcome back Tea.

The quarter before last Intel suffered an earnings shortfall and blamed the result on not being able to ship enough chipsets—plenty of processors but not enough chipsets (yeah, seeing as Processors make far more money, I looked askance at that too...). Anyhoo, Intel announced a "strategic...
