Ah, do they have an option to turn it on or is it default on? That's one of the many things that annoyed me and lead to my abandoning them for some indeterminate revisit time in the future.

Wow, what the hell do they do with that much printed material?

I used to use a web page checker that would check for the presence or absence of certain words for things like that. Think the last time I used it was back when I wanted to get into demonoid though.

I disagree, there is plenty of opportunity but you have to look and work for it. I didn't buy into the whole ivy league thing either. I was honest with myself and I knew I couldn't handle any form of college, let alone pay for it. Because of this I looked into the military. I never took any...

From another couple forua I frequent. Basically all regular file types for pictures. Granted these deal with some artsy stuff where pictures are pretty much required and highly valued. Quite a few forums I am on just plain don't allow attachments at all so I got handy with photobucket and I...

I am interested in finding something simple as well, always just planned things out in excel or just paper in the past. Seems most packages are way too complex.

I guess the equivalent would be BFG (or whoever) that sells overclocked video cards. But IMO they do the right thing and put a lifetime warranty behind it so if it has a reduced life you are still OK.

My 300a needed extra cooling to do 450mhz and would not do the 501mhz like some would. On a Abit BX something if I recall correctly. I am just saying ethically I wouldn't put my name on this and sell it. I wouldn't sell an overclock either. Screwing around in my home is one thing but for a...

I am thinking the risk is not finding something wrong and having the chip fail or mess up a pile of data. I am sure there is some binning/testing involved in selecting these downgrades, they can't just be throwing money away all the time.

I'm thinking it may be unwise to sell a machine like that and risk your reputation, but that's just me.

Or a bad power adapter. You have another to test? I have blown one or two dell power adapters but in my case when they died they were all the way dead.

Yeah, that's the final straw for me so I am going to join the ignore bandwagon for him.

Odd, I am doing exactly that and it worked in vista and win7 on a GTX260. What card did you have? The only thing that doesn't work is blue ray software that dumps because of a software check to see if there is more than one monitor displaying the content. So still not on the whole blueray...

Stuff that is described wrong, wrong category or a clueless seller is definitely the ebay jackpot.

It was entertaining, I'll say that. I didn't follow the link to find out.

I have never used a sniping service, I like the thrill of throwing in the bid at the last minute myself. Generally though I loose a lot because I put a realistic value on stuff, meaning a hell of a lot lower than msrp as you usually get a less reputable seller (than B&M) no warranty etc. I find...

H liked the 4770 ~$105: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2009/07/27/xfx_radeon_hd_4770/1 Unfortunately lately GTA4 is one of my favorite games. I am still very much liking my GTX260 and they only go for ~$160 now but yes, huge and dual power cords required. At least I can't hear the fan on it.

Oh, apparently your board uses a JMicron PCI Express based SATA/PATA chip. Look into drivers for that.

I posted my fix, you try this?

Hmm, honestly haven't tried to have a long lasting system. Right around 2 or less I am replacing the core components like mobo,cpu,video card anyway. I used to have a home file server here that got all the secondary parts and then things might go the four year range then it goes to ebay or...

Nice, good place to send people who don't know what that "thing" is.

I can't believe it but my friends and I are back into DAOC. There is a server migration coming up and they are going to throw a ton of users on separate servers together on one server somehow so that the population numbers in RVR are going to be huge. I too wondered around in Fallout 3 but...

Just using the boot floppy GUI and selecting drive to image or drive from image. In my case I am just putting the image on another NTFS drive in the system. I can't remember how the boot partition was created in the first place but it is likely I just used partition magic to create it. Next...

I'm still using the old Ghost 2003 boot floppy. In vista and win7 there is something that doesn't go right and you have to use the OS repair feature which says something about boot sector and then those OS's work fine after a restore. Not ideal anymore so I am sort of looking too, just not...

I don't know what you are referring to in the military vehicle printing but the trucks I worked with were painted in a thick and porous paint that was said to have radar absorbing properties.

Wow, nice! I want that too. Interesting use of cover in that clip, I don't think I have been able to use cover like that in any mechwarrior game.

Oh email I search all the damn time, I even have a special archive file where I save the really important stuff but I also load the subject up with key words so I can search faster at that level rather than diving down into the message body.

Yeah, I haven't paid for cable or satellite for years. There are plenty of good shows out there though.

Nope. I search help files for products often but that's about it. Most people aren't really in touch with their file system as they should be.

Saw this and really thought it was cool. Neat application of printing technology to get messages right on the street. http://jalopnik.com/5308838/chalkbot-pneumatically-sprays-100000-graffiti-messages-during-tour-de-france

Sammy 32" 1080p 60hz LCD's seem to be running a little lower than when I got mine, they are under $700 now. For double the price 120hz is available in 32" now but I don't think it is worth it on a computer, actually I turned off all of the enhancements I could. For a monitor I am in front of for...

I think that is your problem. Go ahead and fill out the key on their site, you don't pay for several more steps. I bet the site will tell you to go to your system builder as you have an OEM key.

Yes I also bought a copy of x64 vista media from MSFT for the price of shipping, I guess you could technically say it is free. This is the most "correct" and "legal" way to go about getting x64 for vista other than going to Ultimate which suposedly includes that DVD. The site uses a license key...

Guess I am showing my ignorance then. I know our web application calls to the java on the machine and there are a host of features that don't work if you don't have java installed. Eh, I don't do the coding for this stuff.

After a java update: ============================================ RESULTS for firefox 3.5-------984.4ms +/- 1.9% RESULTS for IE8-------------4610.8ms +/- 0.7% ============================================

I got this below but I haven't seen any real improvement in Firefox 3.5 either. I am fairly sure this machine is just waiting on the stuff to come through that DSL pipe. This intrests me as we are working with SiteScan/WebCtrl which is heavily java intensive in the browser, but unfortunately...

Command queuing maybe??

I have been using a 3Com office connect for about seven years now. Check into 3Com's stuff?

I think I read somewhere that the right click thing was a video driver issue. I don't have that problem anyway.

The relevancy I was shooting for here didn't come across, but I also used to mainly go for the 1600x1200 resolution as well. I haven't had much of a hard time adjusting to 1920x1080. Viewing whole pages just leaves a ton of room on the sides for menu bars.

The learning curve I was mostly used to being a new convert to vista recently only in December, this just appears to be more of the same. I don't find a lot of it useful and it does seem to be that extra layer of interference. Bozo, did you search windows update for the missing drivers? My...

I went the TV route with Samsung LN32-A550 32" and LG 47LH40 47", both 1920x1080. Have a 32" on the desk and the 47" is in the living room and they are mirrored. I am at the small one for most of the day for work and primarily use the other for media center and TV. I can't see ever going back...

Yeah likely just removes links and prevents explorer from opening a web URL. Stories like this I just don't know what the hell they want, what would be good enough, are they asking to force MSFT to bundle Opera and other browsers in the OS?? The choice IS there, anyone can go to their site and...

Gel cell batteries listed as a 5 year battery typically fail in that 3 year old range.

Want to get this one off to an early start with some good news for me at least. I posted previously that I had tons of problems getting my understandably ancient HP Color Laserjet 5 working in Vista which was finally solved with a postscript simm and switching to that method. I had a panic...

MY ICH9 does the same thing, 6 USB Universal host controllers and 2 USB2 Enhanced host controllers. Every port on the board is USB2 far as I can tell though.

My mistake was in treating it like it was vista, vista already has the ITE8211 driver in it and doesn't need it on a install where as it does need the ICH9R driver. Win7 was exactly the opposite. As much I read that win7 is the same as vista with enhancements, but there are many differences too...

Fixed. The vista 64 ITE driver from the Taiwan Integrated Technology site did it. This isn't posted anywhere else that I can tell. http://www.ite.com.tw/EN/products_more.aspx?CategoryID=3&ID=5,72 Win7 did not need the ICH9R driver during a clean install. Disabling PATA or disconnecting the...
