Anyone running a 2GB .pst file without backups should be thrown out of the nearest window. Backing up a single .pst file is so easy. *scurries off to backup overdue .pst file*

Office Update will detect all the patches you need. http://office.microsoft.com/productupdates/ You need the original media handy.

Outlook 2000 is vulnerable to lots of viruses until it is patched. It's not a simple thing, first you need to apply Office2k SP1 and then SR-1a. Then you can dl a patch for Outlook2K that fixes it all up. Outlook 2002 is better in this regard as it is not vulnerable in the first place. Use NAV...

Oh yes, and OE 6 is always snappier than Outlook, I guess due to not having to support all the Exchange overhead.

Tho I run OfficeXP, I only use Outlook 2000. I find Outlook 2002 to be slower, nearly sluggish compared to 2k. What I do like about Outlook is the all in one file format (.pst), makes a nice change from the horror of trying transfer OE emails from place to place. And the synchronisation with my...

The 2002 US Farm Bill. Need I say more? "We Stunk Up the Outback" http://www.nationalreview.com/nrof_bartlett/bartlett052202.asp

Globalisation is OK, but it only works well if everyone opens their markets too, otherwise we are not playing on a level playing field. So the end result is that Aussie markets are wide open, yet the US and much of Europe continues to provide massive subsidies to their primary producers. Not to...

Unconnect the C: drive. Install 98 on the 10GB. Then reconnect the C: drive and add an entry into boot.ini for the 98 install. Should work. Backup beforehand of course.

True, but surely it is interpolating a lot of that information? I mean it must be doing something to "fill in the gaps". HD-DVD can't come soon enough. Not to mention affordable LCD panels running at 1920*1200 :)

With the recent release of the 2.2GHz AthlonXP, and faster versions using the 166MHz FSB around the corner, I'm ok with them delaying the Clawhammer till it's 100% ready to go. Plus this will give mobo manufacturers etc time to work out the bugs.

There's plenty of etailers that don't ask for the verification code on the back. Plus Tony could just plug the number straight into his POS machine. Not that I would ever suggest he would be morally capable of such a crime. But that hussy chimp of his .....

Now all you need is a toner cart :)

No dead/stuck pixels? Sounds good. I had one red stuck pixel appear after a couple of days, the beauty of 133dpi is that it looks like a tiny speck of dust, can't be seen unless you look for it. Track beats stick anyday :) Actually I took the cover off my pointy stick because it was rubbing on...

Well at least you have the option of watching Ten Tony. In Tassie, there are only 4 free to air channels. Southern Cross (mostly 7 with a smidge of Ten - V8 racing etc), and WIN (channel 9). Plus SBS and ABC of course. Apparently they are talking about having Ten broadcast down here in the...

Sol, sounds like you need a can of cheap deodorant, and a lighter. The possibility of being turned into a burning pyre often makes people remember their manners. ;)

Perhaps the counter has gone beyond and is on it's second go around? I forget what the reset amount is, 3 million or somesuch?

Unless of course your friends have come over for a 5 day binge drinking session whilst watching a Test. In which case, the bigger the TV the better.

I thought some US bills already had the wire? Aus notes are all plastic with see thru windows now, a real bugger to churn out with a laser printer apparently :) Merc, how much did Taco Bell pay you for the domain?

Yes it's the recommended max number of pages printed per month. Gives you an idea of it's suitability for heavy duty use. For example if you tried to print 60,000 pages in a month on your 6L, it would probably die in agony.

Nah, I built my duallie a few weeks before James did. :) But the Nanya cas2 ram i'm running he kindly brought back from Japan for me.

The beauty of Trillian is that if your chat partner also has it, you can chat via an encrypted channel. Whether the ICQ protocol is safe per se, I'm not sure. If you have very sensitive info, I wouldn't store it on the same computer/network as one on which you have chat software.

Well if you have the resources then seperate instances are good, as you don't lose any other windows if the browser crashes. But with 128MB ram, and Office running, you are already on the edge of resource starvation ;)

This P4 laptop produces at such a piss poor rate that I have decided to turn it off when I'm not using it. So no results from me till I get the duallie up and running. :cry:

Sounds good Prof. Does that mean that it is now up to the Government to appeal that decision? So you can now game in peace for the time being at least?

e_dawg, are you hitting Ctrl+N for a new IE window, or opening a new instance of IE each time? Big difference in resource usage.

$30 for an oil change? I hope that includes a filter.

I enjoyed seeing him go thru money like butter when he dabbled in the digital camera world.

Apparently they have outdone themsleves, and seeing it's a SCSI drive, have gone from the previous 5 years to -1 year. When it breaks down you have to pay Maxtor for parts, and fix the bloody thing yourself. There is a simple support link to the guy who replaced his hard drive case with a bit of...

Available at the start of 2003 most likely. A long time in the computer world.

Is there a place where we can download the whole thing and not the godforsaken web install turd? TIA, Pradeep.

A series is bargain crap from Sony. Crappier than the E-series which I unfortunately own. Cheaply made in Mexico, to a price. Avoid. If you want a Sony, try the Dell Peripherals site when they have 20% off, I believe they have a rebadged G520 for around $500-$600, they call it the P1130 or...

Anyone notice the previews of p4 3.6GHz performance over at Uncle Tom's?

I believe Moore's Law relates to transistor density, and not performance per se. I have a couple of 172 W TEC's from T.E. Dist. I never got around to using them, mostly because I couldn't find an affordable PSU that could deliver the voltage/amperage. They were to go in side by side on a slot...

Well I was thinking you could just use one on the machine you tend to use most to browse the web. Or do you use multiple machines? The ones doing folding don't really need a UPS given the cost.

My thoughts are with your family. Pradeep.

Tony, sounds like it's time for a UPS or two. I've been depressed ever since Geelong got kicked out of the final 8. Not that it matters, everytime they get into the Grand Final they go to water and embarass themselves anyway :cry:

James , does the Ultra 5 take a normal VGA connector or one of those proprietary Sun connectors?

I find Dreamweaver MX to be an excellent tool for web design. Not to mention Fireworks MX.

Here's a link that may come in handy: Inspiron FAQ: http://www.geocities.com/thebithead/I8200FAQ.htm

Sorry Doug, I sqeeeled like a little piggy as soon as the people in the black choppers landed. :mrgrn:

Interesting. Mine always has CPU 0 running about 6 degrees hotter than CPU 1.

It was originally released on the 2cpu forums, this is just a copy I have: http://vdpc.org/K7TT.exe (20KB :D ) I don't know if it works on the TigerMPX, it was designed for the TigerMP. Let me know how it goes

The keychanger is not illegal. You can change a setting in the Registry yourself, to enable youu to get to the Activate WinXP screen. The keychanger merely automates this change for you. Now what may be illegal is the distibution of those non-blacklisted keys.

There is a bug in the BIOS (at least with TigerMP) where the temp readings in the BIOS are very high. If you hit the left or right arrow key, the temps will update and tumble from 80's down to a more reasonable 30-40, which is the actual temp. MBM therefore doesn't work with the TigerMP, I use...

Coug, what app are you using to check the CPU temps? My duallie also runs a fair bit of hot air out of the PSU.

The first Slot 1->Socket 370 adaptors will not work on FC-PGA processors (I believe they changed the pin signalling etc). Same problem when trying to use an FC-PGA 2 CPU in an FC-PGA (1) adaptor. Fortunately when I got my 466 Celeron (S370) I specified an FCPGA compatible adaptor, so when I...

Yes, using 200MHz DDR.

It's been low like that for several days. There is a small note saying they are experiencing technical difficulties. I can ping quite a few of the routers that the site claims are non responsive.

Looks like you will be doing purely 2D work, in which case the GF2 GO is adequate. BTW, it is possible to upgrade the video yourself, people have already gone from GF2 GO to GF4 Go successfully, you can buy the part from Dell itself. So hopefully in a year or two, you can move up to GF5 Go or...

Didn't Osbourne have that crazy free upgrade of memory etc after a certain number of months?
