We recently banned smoking in the clubhouse at the shooting club I belong to. It did cause a lot of grief from some of the older members, and we did lose a few of them because of it. Personally I'm not a rabid anti-smoking nut, it's just that as a member of the comittee, I had a duty of care to...

Well you could always uninstall SP3 Greg. You did choose the backup files option?

Sweet camera. Shame it uses those Memory Sticks but still one of the best 5MP cameras around.

OMFG! No TV! *passes out in a dead faint*

Good job boys. (Tea, your time will soon be at hand)

Unfortunately my dual XP 1.47 is unavailable for about a month so my only output will be from this sloth of a P4-M 1.6GHz :cry:

A liddle bit of overindulgence in the Chateau Cardboard Tony? Well bottoms up with vodka and lemonade then!

A lot of companies have their own high speed standard. My Toshiba goes into "High Speed" mode when it finds a fellow Toshiba on the other end. And uses G3 for others.

Is there any hope of resuscitation? :mrgrn:

LOL, no need to panic Cliptin, I was just joking about what would happen if Mercutio's list of terrible things were to really happen to win2k.

While I enjoy using win2k (and winXP to a smaller extent) I would be the first to agree with you that I would never store any secrets pertaining to national security on an MS OS.

Merc: For your LT modems, try this driver, I found it fixed a nasty problem of hanging my insiporn 8200 on disconnecting. http://www.agere.com/support/client/modem_driver2.html

Well once you have executed malicious code or have lost physical security of the machine then you are farked for sure. A truly secure computer is not connected to a network at all, certainly not the Internet.

The auto updating of the OS by MS can be turned off. As for AOL, I won't be able to sleep tonight with the nightmares. Can you just imagine, you disconnect the network cable and the whole computer just hangs, forcing a hard reset.

Do they even make multifunktions using laser tech? I was under the impression that they were all inkjet based, all the better to copy your colour photo in a record time of 30 mins!

I would buy a drink for Tea, but I think she's already under the table after hearing the good news.

11.21MB done in 2 hours. God I luv my dial up *blubbers*

I was on about 7 hours ago, just not much posting action.

“Did you hear that one about the woman in the airliner when all the engines failed?” “There these passengers all are, facing certain death and wondering how to go about it, and the first one to crack is this woman, you see. She goes to the front. She tears off all her clothes and throws them at...

Goldmember would disagree!

"The Federal Government is under fire for its decision to vote against a new United Nations protocol against torture. The protocol calls for independent visits to prisons as a way of halting torture. Australia was one of eight countries to vote against the protocol, while the United States...

What a sexy bitch!

Just saw Austin Powers : Goldmember tonight. Great movie, definitely recommended if you liked the first two. "My throat looks like a vagina" Fat Bastard.

You should be able to grab a Conext (APC rebadge I believe) 900VA for less than US$150. They have a 700VA model for less. Has a serial connection and comes with cable and software for shutdown. Appears to the OS as an APC Back-Ups.

I fidn cpu0 runs 5 degrees C cooler than cpu1 on my tigermp

I think I need more Wild Trueky!

Currently I have a stupendously fast 26.4kb/sec dial up connection.

Bastard! Now tell me about the DL limits so I can feel slightly less jealous of you. :cry:

Fortunately without the inherent doubling of failure rate :D

I find that when trying to connect via ICS on win2k, I can only receive new work and not send results. But when connected directly on dial up it sends and receives fine. I did have a day or two recently where it wouldn't connect at all.

Good job Coug, here's to a few thousand more *hic* More bourbon please Bartender.

I can recommend the ADS Pyro Drive Kit. One thing to keep in mind is that there is no apparent performance diff between the 2MB and 8MB versions when used in an external Firewrie enclosure.

Oops!

Tony, I believe the -local switch is now redundant with the implementation of the machine id#. I'm running 4 instances on the dual, and would like them to increase available machine ID#s to 8. It doesn't take long to crunch thru 4 genes.

I had the 15 minute experience on first turn on too. It's standard. There was an add in sheet explaining not to panic.

Well not having to replace the developer drum till 150,000/300,000 pages does tend to keep the costs down :)

Based on my experience with the FS-1000, it came with a factory "starter" cartridge, the replacement ones you buy have twice the page capacity. I dunno if that's the same the FS-1010.

Sadly it is a P4-M in a Dell laptop, so 2 GHz+ is out of reach. :cry: But the UXGA screen and GF4 440 32MB is what I'm looking forward to.

Ooops! Sorry JoJo :oops:

3.1 working OK for me Fushigi. Tho I have had a couple of times where connecting to send/receive has taken a couple of tries. I should be adding a P4 1.6GHz today.

Sounds like Mac users :mrgrn:

Now we just need someone with a 1GHz+ Duron to give some results. The 950 would be the old core.

looks like 2cpu is down?

I have the E540. $599 is the RRP, $490 is excellent. I run mine at 1280*1024, at UXGA small text is not clear. This may be a problem with my video card (AIW 7500), I will hook it up to my laptop next week and see if it improves.

Oh and Carlton Crownies of course :)

Good: James Boags Premium Lager Gin and tonic - usally Gordons Wild Turkey and coke Bacardi and coke Margaritas Bad: Way too much vodka and orange on a plane trip once. Woke up and I was in Singapore airport. Not a good way to travel, tho I did sleep like a baby after filling a few bags.

AFAIK "digital" cable is not HD at all, just multiple streams of mpeg2 or whatever?

Hmm, must have missed this thread the first time. For a man with a CCNA, Network + would have been a piece of piss :D Good to hear you have a stable income now.

I don't think digital can compete with film for large blow ups of images. A 6 MP camera is okay for A3 perhaps, anything bigger ain't too good. Perhaps in a couple of years. Unless we are talking about a Hasselblad with 20 MP back or some such esoterica.
