Not to mention the gonorrhea! :o

Doesn't look like AMD have dropped the prices of the lesser speed 64bit CPUs. Nice that they work fine with DDR400. Also good news re: the alliance with Sun, giving 4-way capabilities. And Solaris on AMD64, yummy.

sechs: Received IBM and it's working fine. Thanks. I see what the SR.com review said about the whine, I can hear it clearly over dual Delta 7000rpm fans and a 15k.1 and two 15k.2s!

Once I get my Social Security number (hopefully within the next week or two, but the woman at the counter said up to 10 weeks!), I will have to go get my New York drivers license. I originally thought it was a matter of taking the written test and then handing in your other license (in this case...

The Nikon should come with a multi voltage charger, but I'm not sure if the ipaq charger adapter is 110V only or 110/220V.

Everything I've read has rated the Crossfire as a POS, far too heavy for the measly power from it's 5.2l engine. But I agree with the main argument, for severe winter conditions a hybrid is probably not the best choice. Perhaps one of these :mrgrn...

Oh yes and as mentioned previously the cost of international shipping via FedEx, UPS or DHL can be astronomical. Unless the online store is willing to use USPS Parcel post it can be difficult to actually save money in such a transaction. When I first bought memory from Crucial.com, they had me...

The reason many US companies won't ship overseas is because of CC fraud problems. A US issued CC can be easily verified for address, other countries tend not to verify addresses (not to mention the cost of phone calls to banks, time differences etc). That is why you will also have problems using...

Finally gave the snow tires a good try out today, got a few inches and some very windy conditions upstate. I must say, the difference of the snow tires compared to the cheap all-season ameritread crap that was on there before is amazing. Especially when going around a corner, the back end...

Ever since I got my ReplayTV, I've been saving 20 mins per 60 mins of recorded TV. Either the RTV auto skips the commercials or I hit the 30 sec skip button a few times. It's painful having to watch live TV.

Get em while their hot: For IE and Office. http://news.com.com/2100-7355_3-5105745.html?tag=st_lh

Given the insane price of fillet in the US, I've been tending to get delmonico chuck steak, it has fantastic marbling and tastes better than most fillet IMO. Not so good for my cholesterol but too tasty to resist. Goes well with some J.D Western Spicy Chargrill sauce.

The cost of prescription drugs in the US is completely out of control. There is no excuse for having one drug cost $10 in Canada and the exact same thing costing $100 in the US. It's a bloody disgrace, there's no getting around it. And I won't even approach the cost of health insurance (even...

I betcha he's gotten bogged in the back of Bourke. :mrgrn:

Shouldn't need drivers for a FW enclosure unless he's running win98 or somesuch. Perhaps try Nero or another burning program apart from the Roxio/Adaptec crap?

Are there any problems when looking in Device Manager? What OS are you using?

Just keep your boys in your pants.

I'll be happy with Buffy Bot. :mrgrn: Buy.com has the retail TDK IndiDVD 420N 4x DVD+R/+RW dribe for $150=$50 rebate =1- rebate giving a not bad price of $90. Shipping from $7 (bensbargains.net) And amazon.com has the Memorex 25 pack spindles of 4x DVD+R and -R for $30.

Dell made a mistake a few weeks ago and had two different $100 MIRs for the 200GB drive. Hundred/thousands leapt on the offer, tho it was doubtful that both the rebates would be honoured. The rebates were up for 2 days I believe, there was then a post on one of the DellTalk boards stating that...

Missed out on the Dell deal for IIRC ~$30 after $200 in rebates?

Also don't forget the price of a good printer, unless you will only view your images on screen. With 6+MP, a good A3 print is possible. I'm leaning towards a Canon i9100, tho there are some very interesting Epsons out in Japan (which may never come to the US).

$339 for a GB of CF? Even the 1GB Microdrives are less than $250 nowadays. I don't think the 300D/10D use the fastest memory cards at their full potential, at least compared to the write speeds of the 10Ds etc. I'm going to stick with my trusty Nikon Coolpix 995 until Canon brings full frame...

I think the ribs at Applebees are pretty good. That and a couple of their margaritas and I stumble to the car, ready to be driven home. I usually have the ribs and chicken strips combo meal, it's extremely filling. I love the basket that's raised from the table, closer to your mouth :) As for...

I guess the Canon software would be of use if you shot in RAW and wanted to convert it into something else.

I noticed there is now a CardBus CF adapter available from Delkin, speeds of over 4MB/sec using a Microdrive, as opposed to the piss poor 1MB/sec using a standard PCMCIA adaptor. Faster than Firewire too. Perfect for laptop users. Also there is now a CF adator for the 3rd gen iPods, tho...

I should get to the post office tomorrow. Unless you take Australian funny-money?

I spoke to sechs about it via email on the 25th Oct, so you would have been too late in any case :)

Get your hands off it Merc, that IBM is mine!

I have used chkdsk /f successfully on a Microdrive, previously Windows would hang up when trying to copy all the images over.

Yes. Nope, only Server 2003 has the on UPS tickbox.

Eeek, 1280*1024 is not enough for me :)

That's for the monitor only. Catalog said nothing about bundling with XPS system.

I got that in a catalog a few days ago, it will be offered seperately. It's listed for $1099. Can you Candians get it? :p

Couldn't you print odd pages first, then run them thru again for evens? Only works well with a laser of course, inkjet would be a big bloody mess.

FW400 is limited to 50MB/sec theoretical by itself, no PCI limitation required. Tho you really do want 64 bit slots if you are dabbling with FW800, most (all?) of the 800 controllers I've seen say they drop down to FW400 speeds when used in a 32 bit PCI slot.

Unless you run F@H of course :)

I would love to get 20MB/sec out my laptop NIC. As it is I'm lucky to get more than 6 or 7MB/sec thru 10/100. Put me down for a gigabit Cardbus card too! I imagine we will see them in the future, now that they can do gigabit on a single chip. Perhaps they have heat issues too?

For those that admire low-displacement, high-tech sports cars then the Nissan Skyline GT-R is a good bet. Twin-turbo 2.6l V6, AWD, 4 wheel steering. This thing beat the pants out of Ford and Holden (GM) V8 racecars in Australia back in the day when they were allowed to race. The V8 fans got...

I would buy that Sony in a heartbeat but unfortunately it lacks the following two must-haves for me: Playback of any region DVD. Playback of PAL on NTSC. For now my Cyberhome 500 will have to do the job.

Hmm, one of my clients just dl'ed Core 78, I just pissed my pants when it said "Extra 3DNow boost OK". Phear the powa of my mighty dual Athlon! I used to jump from DC to DC, but in the end there will always be someone with more computer powa/money to get ahead of you in the stats. I'll stick...

From bensbargains.net Last day. Dell is giving away a free Dell TrueMobile 2300 802.11b/g Wireless Router with the purchase of any of their PowerConnect switches. The lowest cost option is the PowerConnect 2000 Series 16 Port 10/100 Ethernet Switch at $89. No free shipping today but there is a...

Merc, now that you have DirecTV you may want to get a DirecTivo, they have them for $99 per receiver now. I believe it's $5 per month for the Tivo programming, no matter how many of them you have in the house.

Well we had about 25" more snow than Buffalo last Winter. http://www.wktv.com/wktv1997/almanac97/snowrace.html The WS-50 is definitely very soft, however they are attached to a Taurus, hardly the pinnacle of automotive handling :) I'm praying for early snowfalls so they don't wear too quickly...

IME people in NY tend to drive faster when the conditions deteriorate. Pissing down with sheets of water on the road? Well let's drive at 80MPH on a concrete Thruway. It's amazing more people aren't killed. And yes I've seen footage of NYC drivers in the snow, definitely can't help laughing. I...

The 8x DVD-R spec hasn't been finalised yet, apparently it is harder to get DVD-R to 8x because of the wobble groove or someshit like that. I started off using only DVD-R but now as DVD+R media has fallen in price I'm using that. Only prob is DVD+ doesn't work in my Dell Insiporn 8200 drive. For...

Apparently it's going to be a pretty bad winter in Upstate NY, so I got some snow tires put on last week. Will be interesting to see the difference once the snow starts coming down.

Sony announced their 8x DVD+R burners (530A and 530UL) today, they will be available in December, priced at $270 for the internal. Personally if I was going to get a burner today I would get the Plextor, by December we should have more news/product for DVD+R dual layer. Still my 500A has been...

If they want me to pay 99 cents per track then I would want it in at least CD quality. In any case nothing is possible over 26.4kb/sec *sobs*

4 internal bays is not enough, they should have stuck with the six in the 1080 Series. Unless it can fit 6 drives but they recommend spacing out to 4? Urgh never mind, just looked at the inside pic. Can't take an extended ATX, yuck!
