    Firefox Window resizes

    The the extention room is run by Mozdev.ogr. The difference between them and Mozilla is addressed here. And although I don't like de-centralization either, the nice thing about the extention room is that things don't seem to mysteriously disappear (for whatever reasons) like they do on...

    Firefox Window resizes

    I would agree. I used to have it installed back maybe around when I used FF v0.7, but I found it caused a number of problems and so just dispensed with it forever.

    Firefox Window resizes

    mubs, I believe the change in mozilla website (texturizer -> mozilla update) was a part of their initiative to strengthen their branding and overall website organization. Anyways, you can find both Tab-something-or-others at the Extention Room.

    Looking for Dual Bay External Enclosure

    Thanks for the links people! As a matter of fact, that is one idea I've considered with the exception that I was thinking that if I'm going to do that then I might as well make an interesting project out of it --> outfit an old Shuttle SFF case with a bridge board, make some custom HDD cages...

    KVM type question.

    Mark, I don't think there are any dual link KVMs...there are hardly any DVI KVMs for that matter. Anyways, I don't think that dual link it is absolutely necessary, but certainly would be advantagous if not desirable. I believe most would be able to handle above 1600x1200. I think that it is...

    KVM type question.

    That's a great idea! Why didn't i think of that? Umm, i did think of that. Oh, yes, quite right. Nope. But by the looks of it, I don't think a keyboard/mouse would work. There doesn't seem to be any buttons on the thing either...just a software switch. Bleeeach! This looks like it can...

    Dell 2005FPW 20.1-inch Wide Aspect LCD, $679.15

    ..you, of course, solve for x and then sub it into your h=10x and w=16x for the actual measures.

    Dell 2005FPW 20.1-inch Wide Aspect LCD, $679.15

    No, cause we already know that the aspect ratio is 16:10...that expression is in terms of a single variable of measurement, so all we have to do is formulate Pythagoras accordingly. i.e.: (10x)^2 + (16x)^2 = (24 inches)^2

    Dell 2005FPW 20.1-inch Wide Aspect LCD, $679.15

    Assuming it has precisely a 24" diagonal, some Greek guy (from many centuries ago) says it is 12.72" high and 20.35" wide....pixel pitch, incidently, would be .2692mm.

    Buying some iPod shuffles...

    I stand corrected on the size thing. But I'm not certain on those iriver numbers Tim. Anyways, doesn't matter as I find the volume metrics trivial. The thing is the almost the same size as my index finger (its just bit wider). Calling that not ultraportable is ridiculus. You will never be...

    DVD Burner Recommendations?

    I'm really liking this burner. It does a great job on writing. The Liggy & Dee firmwares are also awesome. And to quiet it down when reading, I just use Drive speed (from the Nero toolkit....also available on CDspeed. But for the most part, I just use my Liteon for reading disks anyways (its...

    I bought an iRiver ifp-790T a couple of weeks ago. I have since returned it, but will be picking one up again (or something very similar) in the near future. It had amazing sound. Supports ogg vorbis (provided >96kbps avg bit rate) too if that floats your boat. USB2 -- very fast transfers...

    CrystalCPUID

    Hi Jan, thanks for responding. I think I may have confused some things. I think I remember reading somewhere (most likely SPCR) that by dropping the voltages using CnQ or Crystal, some hardware monitoring programs get all messed up because they rely on some bios table of values, but that table...

    CrystalCPUID

    I'm trying to find a thread, in which I believe Jan talked about the bios table readings etc., in reference to the use of crystalcpuid. With CnQ, the idle temp readings I'm getting in this toaster (soltek 3901) are ~53C (1000@1.1V, default CnQ setting). This is with a 939 3000. I'm unable to...

    Ok...this is too funny. As I'm posting the last reply, my AVG auto updates, and its a biggy. So, right after it finishes, I tested with eicar.zip again. Result: it now lists two entries for the file -- it lists that the zip file contains an infected file, and you can move the zip file to...

    I see what you mean Blake. Using AVG as I did earlier with eicar.com, I was directly able to delete or move to the virus fault. And this is consistant with what AVG says: So it sure sounds like your SOL with an embedded infected file. And testing with eicar.com.zip proves this. You could...
