I saw "The Day After Tomorrow" last night. They took a very important topic and marginalized it. Just like "Independence Day". Same Director, of course. More importantly, see this Yahoo news item; Expert says "Super volcano" could dwarf Indonesia's earthquake catastrophes and set off Ice Age"...

One more, on a tangential note, the Pope. Please read thru to the end. L.A. Times Commentary: A Portrait of the Pope as a Dying Man

Me too (underlined word mine). Only to post a link. L.A. Times Editorial: The Schindlers' Train ID/PW required. Get it from BugMeNot.

Thanks, Merc. That explains something; a cousin emailed about 9 pics in a single email that was ~ 14.5 MB to my Yahoo email a/c. I got the email, but It's a bear to download these to the local drive; Yahoo's interface sucks so bad. I tried forwarding the email to my ISP email a/c (Adelphia) and...

What is the maximum attachment size for email sent to Gmail and Yahoo accounts, does anybody know? Specifially, an email with multiple attachments (pics).

Sheesh, they've given me 50 invites. PM me your current email addy and I'll send you one. I read a news item today that they're upping the storage to 2GB. Yahoo is going from 250MB to 1GB. We can stop buying disks now. Just get a fast connection!

Thank you, CityK and Buck.

I shouldn't be asking this, but I'm still stuck in the Pentium-3 era, so forgive me. Will a stick of PC-2100 work in a system that needs PC-133? AFAIK, they're the same, speeds and all, just old wine in a new bottle, so it should work. TIA!

I did read what you wrote. perhaps it is you that misunderstood what I wrtoe, and with reason. I did not mean to imply that I told my neurologist acquaintance that the Mayo Clinic guy was a Christian; I didn't bring that up, but had read that in a news item. However, the way I wrote my earlier...

RW, You keep insisting Michael is responsible for his wife's condition. If this is true, why hasn't the state proceeded against him? Why hasn't the judge ordered an autopsy? Are you saying that every judge/court in this country before which this case has appeared, and which has agreed with the...

That may well be. But is is also well known that the neurologist in question is a staunch pro-life Christian. I bumped into a neurologist acquaintance on Friday, and mentioned this, and he was livid, saying that the Mayo Clinic guy was mixing religion and medicine to further his religious...

I'd like to go elsewhere too, but am too old to be attractive as an immigrant. There are some very rough times ahead for the U.S. "The pig is moving through the python". America's aging. An increasing %age of the population will not be working but will have to be paid (SocSec) and cared for...

Only Fushigi gave an answer, and a part one at that. I'll try, even though my personal opinion on this is that she should have been let go a long time ago. There are bascially three parties that want to keep her alive. a) Her parents. They believe she'll turn around some day, so they want her...

Is T-bird consiedered to be part of Seamonkey?

You're not clear, time; somebody who believes in what? Keeping her alive or withdrawing support? This issue has been debated ad nauseam in the media already.

Eerie timing - Amazon's data-collection habits under fire.

I use Netscrape Communicator 4.78 for email. Can somebody suggest a good no-cost or low-cost spam blocker/handler/deleter? My specific need at this time is to block 2 specific email IDs. I'd prefer not to change email clients, but will if I have to. In that case, I'll need suggestions for a...

Tsk tsk. There you go spilling the beans, CityK.

Certainly cause for concern. Where can I buy a 22" Mistu CRT again? I have my screensaver set to "blank" after n minutes, and after y minutes my CRT goes to sleep. I've never ever liked "nice" screensavers.

There are many systems like this, but I'd hazard a guess that few are this accurate. Jeff B. is known to be obsessive, a stickler for numbers and facts. So you can be sure that they've worked really hard on this one to perfect their mining and predicting techniques. And from what I've read, they...

Story at News.com. It did a reinstall of the new version for me even though I asked to do an update.

Just tried them, worked fine for me. Has been the last several days.

It's been kind of slow the last few days, even just to browse around. Sorry I can't be more specific.

Can you change directories to the CD, then run Ghost from the Ramdrive and let it pick up the ini from the CD?

Sorry you're having a bad day, Piyono. Sometimes when it rains it pours. Just hang in there. You certainly have a point there. But AFAIK, the 12V rail is used by the drive motors, not electronics, which use the 5V rail. It just may be that the other drives have a more robust design of the...

Your old "failing" drive, and the new one had repetitive problems inside your system, but both worked on the first try in the external enclosure. That leads me to believe the problem is with your system. It could be the power supply is failing in your system; since the external enclosure is...

What board is the overclocked Winchester running on?

Certainly doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in them, eh? On related issues, where are the plans to make 2.5" SATA drives? If SAS controllers can use a mix-n-match hodge-podge of SAS and SATA, logic dictates that 2.5" SATA drives should be in the wings as well. Thoughts?

Thanks for the link to the X Chromo article, i. I read that one yesterday as well, but it somehow slipped my mind to provide a link to it. I found the article fascinating and actually saved a copy of it in my system.

Interesting article on large-format (4x5) digital camera at Wired.com. Only 140MB per pic!

Interesting read at the New Scientist.

More on this today in News.com

HeidiK77, I wish you'd read the whole of this thread in the Toolbox section. I run W2k SP4 on a 160GB drive without any problems. The drive is hooked up to a Promise PCI controller that supports 48-bit LBA. This may be too late to help, but as Pradeep has wisely pointed out, when venturing...

There's several bad reviews on Amazon. There are some gripes I remember reading on SR and on Ben's Bargains. Newer high-capacity Seagates appear to run very hot. Their warranty support apparently has gone to the dogs. While I don't believe everything I read, there are many signs that Seagate is...

Thanks folks.

I use the freeware SyncBack to "backup" my data every night to another drive. Actually, it is a one-way sync. You can set up profiles (individual syncs) and if you wish, group them as well. If you run the group, everything in it will run. Simple but powerful. Since it's a sync and not a complete...

I've always thought you could use faster RAM than what the motherboard requires/can use. For instance, I've used 4 x 256MB PC-133 SDRAM in my 100MHz BX motherboard for the last 4 years without a hiccup. But I know of a few cases where this has caused problems. Hence the question. Specifically...

IMHO, you could have saved some work by leaving out brands like Maxtor. The 300GB Seagates are being dissed in many places for high failure rates.

Mozilla Foundation freezes Seamonkey

What is it you really need? Backup or file sync (maintaining same data in multiple places)?

Gee, I thought Tabmix was a replacement for a whole bunch of tab-related extensions. Including TBPE. The Tabmix homepage says so, and so does the TBPE author's homepage. Since Tabmix certainly seems to do everything TBPE did (for me, anyway), I don't see the value of installing both. Of course...

Try to get hold of CAS. He wrote that special program to fix part of the "XP SCSI bug" and released it to the other place (SR). AFAIK, he has since disappeared. A PM to him might work, though. I believe he posted here a few times as well.

Looks like it, LM, based on the two entries for Universal Host Controller - 24C4. But methinks two simultaneous copies would be done asynchronously (two independent, unrelated jobs), not saving time but actually slowing you down from disk contention on the source drive. You'd need an intelligent...

I dumped TBPE and am on Tabmix now. For the most part, it seems to work like TBE. Interesting behaviour with the pop-ups. I tried the JC Penney link (in my post near the top). If I left-click on the "See it larger" link, I get a window resize. But if I middle-click (to open in a new tab) or...

Howell, Buck, normally FF opens some links in a pop-up window. If you have TabBrowser Extensions installed, you can set an option to have the pop-up be displayed in a new tab instead. This option basically says you want only one window of FF open at all times. It seems to be this feature that...

So sorry to hear this, Dave. Keep your chin up and take care of yourself. You've got many friends here.

I miss some features of TBE in TBPE. Like being able to rearrange tabs arbitrarily. Like having a close-tab icon in each tab. Maybe I'll give TabMix a spin, despite it being buggy.

:lol:

Thank you so much, Howell! I'm going to dump TBE right now, and switch to TBPE. I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks to you as well for the clarification, CityK. That's what makes this a great place (hope you're beaming, Doug!)

I have been using this from day 1: TabBrowser Extensions ver.1.14.2005031002 from http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/ It used to be available at http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/. Now that URL goes to https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/?application=firefox/, and TBE is not listed...
