From a business (revenue) point of view, the K7 Sempron was an awesome move by AMD. From a technical standpoint, there is absolutely no value. In fact, the consumer is much better served (in terms of performance value) by cheaper, lower model numbered XPs. Tabular clock speed and model...

I've always enjoyed reading reviews and op pieces at Dan's Data, and this one is certainly no exception. His slashdot post was frickin hallarious (link in article). The apple paradoy, to which he also linked, was bonafide A+ material. Jack Russell terrier ... love it :D

"Exactly" as in why don't we allow editing too? Or, "Exactly" as in we're not like all the other forums?

Any guesses as to why a pre-exisitng FAT32 partition solves the problem?

er, at least Buck's settled on 5.1 :D

Although it sounds like Kevin has already settled on 5.1, I just wanted to pipe up and put my vote in for the v6 basic, as oppsosed to its full version counterpart. Details outlined in this thread here.

Roxio has divested its software division and changed their name to Napster. Company execs were quoted as saying "we're either going to die filthy rich or run the company into the ground while trying"....okay, nobody (officially) said that but me. Anyways, it will be interesting to see if...

Fushigi, I d/l'ed the UBCD the other day... should be quite useful. Thanks. Haven't gotten back to this mess yet. I'm certainly in no rush. But when I do, I'll be sure to post the exciting conclusion to this adventure.

Mike, thanks for the link. I too remember making regular visits to 7volts circa 2000/1. It was one of the first sites I had ever seen addressing the question of computer noise, as well as being a pioneering site in terms of case modding. I rarely see mention of it now, as SPCR seems to have...

Thanks for the feed back. Good suggestions, and its pretty much in line with what I expected to hear...perhaps I myself was guilty in hoping there is a easy way out. Bah...I'll make a minimal attempt via safe mode and trying the above mentioned steps & utilities to resolve this the hard way...

I got asked to take a look at a friend's computer concerning an internet connection problem. Grudgingly, I obliged the request with a brief visit. Here are the specifics: Its running Windows XP, firewalled (ZA) but no antivirus, and its users download off P2Ps like its going out of fashion...

Bah, after looking at this thread, I have to conclude that its <s>not</s> working.

I'm also thinking that it might be something has nothing to do with Flashblock. .... hmm, apparently strikeout is not enabled.

Fair enough.

That's a possibility Tim. I loaded Chinese-TW with mixed results: First got an error page written in chinese. Clicked one of the links and it reloaded the fsp page for me. Clicked on the products page and it began to load, but it was never able to complete. Browser remained semi-functional...

Thanks for the quick replys. Hmmm, I wonder what's causing this for me. Bee-czar.

Goto the Fortran page ( http://www.fsp-group.com.tw/english/00_main/main.asp ) and click on products....instant Firefox-ending-error for me . :-?

SAS compatitibilty cautionary statements:

OT - Doug or moderator, sorry for the inconvinience, but could you please change the thread title to something more descriptive/appropriate then just simply "SATA II", I wasn't thinking when I posted. ---------------------- Interesting notes:

While looking for information on SATA II, I discovered that the sata working group had, on July 1st, released the electrical specifications (PDF).

I was just re-reading the two very informative "non-incandecesant lighting" threads (http://www.storageforum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2258 and http://www.storageforum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3111) and was wondering if the community would be better served if the two were merged (a spline would...

When I've been awake for over 24hrs, I find that in the morning I get a feeling of numbness in my limbs and reduced peripheral vision. However, these are usually short lived and everything returns to normal - especially if I chug a coffee or two - and I function quite well up until just after...

Is there any difference between any of these first person shooter games? I watched a Doom 3 trailer a couple of days ago and, to me, it looked just like Quake etc etc.

I had no idea that there even was doubleclick type stuff there. I was just talking about the atomfilms self promotion video that's displayed before the jibjab clip.

This is political cartoon is probably old news, but its good for a laugh: http://atomfilms.shockwave.com/contentPlay/shockwave.jsp?id=this_land&preplay=1&ratingBar=off Note: takes about half a minute (advertising) before the Jibjab cartoon actually starts...just be patient. Not sure of the...

In comparison to S-video, think of component as taking the additonal step of seperating the colour difference signals that make up the chromiance portion of the video signal and conveying them seperately.

Hi skeet, enjoyed the posts. Hope you drop by more often. Just thought that I would provide a clarification in that the "NTSC/PAL/SECAM" need not have been added to the above statement as they are, after all, only video standards and not the method of signal delivery. Although it is true...

I would put the drives back into their original configuration again and then boot to dos and try "fdisk /mbr". I've found that the good ol' dos method much more effective then the rc's fixmbr. If that doesn't work, then I would be inclined to agree with Gary that you have some sort of...

Ars has some background info: - Release info - the introduction - and the dirty pictures

Perhaps its related to the change in routine. Change is good.

Thanks for the info. Although a little late to be of help for that particular project, I'm sure that this will certainly be handy for future needs as they may arise.

PS - Micron is full of crap

<making abundent use of the latest additions to my Finnish lexicon> Consistency in the computer industry? Tsot, tsot Joe. </making abundent use of the latest additions to my Finnish lexicon> PC-400 doesn't convey enough information- although it acurately describes that the effective frequency...

Although the actual snip that CD Freaks posted in its newsclip could clearly have been more polished, the points raised by the article in question are well taken. Some of the user comments that follow this news story are very interesting. Source: http://www.cdfreaks.com/news/10109

What ? Nobody likes Bob Marley? Okay, I'll give it a go myself....Let me just make sure I'm in tune first....Me me me meeeee......Well I guess that's about right. Okay then, here we go: <loud, several octaves off key and obliviously tone deaf> I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the...

Saw mention of this list while surfing tonight. I had no idea there were that many!!

Doug, are you still using this? I noticed last night that there are a couple of different Moz extentions that integrate into the browser. Sage seems to be uptodate.

So was Sheriff John Brown aiming to shoot you down?

If used correctly, Norton is probably just as effective as all the rest - meaning I place the onus on the user. That said, Norton is Big Bulky Buggy Bunk.

I just thought it would be interesting to see what plugins people are using these days I'm currently using: - Real Alternative - QT Alternative - Sun's Java - PDF - Wikipedia search engine - Flash I have no idea what else there might be of use. I know there is a shockwave plugin too, but I...

I just thought it would be interesting to see what extentions people are using these days. I'm currently only using: - DOM inspector (default, and I have no clue what its supposed to do) - Adblock - Flashblock - Add Bookmark here

Some further notes: 1) Something easy to overlook -> When installing new extensions, make sure you have Tools > Options > Advanced > Software Update section's "Allow web site to install software" checked, otherwise nothin' happin mann. 2) Adblock is now 0.9.1 compatible .... meaning it shows...

DishNetwork and Bell ExpressVu are both DVB.

Mubs, - in v0.9: went to Tools > Extentions and uninstall all extentions ....... in my case, I only had the DOM (which was installed by default with FF 0.9). I just left DOM the way it was (I don't even think it has an uninstall option). I also had Adblock installed, but (as I mentioned...

I installed it last night and am happy to report without any issues. Everything works, and all pluggins (PDF, Java, Real alt, QT alt, Flash) and extentions (although I only have Adlock and the default DOM currently installed) are functional without any special steps having been taken on my...

Umm, two minutes ago there were 24 people online. Given that I'm so used to seeing 2 (which I usually persume are Merc and dd), I'm wondering where all the traffic is coming from now.

That's unfortunate because I'm sure that would be all you would need to do. Yes, that's correct. In the DOJ case against MS (what, 4 years ago already) MS argued it was impossible (which it is not) to remove components such as OE, IE etc etc from the OS because of blah blah blah. In part of...

Kevin, it isn't clear from your post whether you recognized this, but the compatibility that you mentioned isn't a case where one socket fits them all....just one chipset that can be used with a 754 socket designs or mated with a 939 socket design or capable of being utilized with socket 940...

hmmmm....well, I suppose the dust vermits will have to do. :(
