    Moving (Sucks)

    I go through the duplex with the home inspector in about 30 minutes. I gave the bank all my paperwork yesterday. The closing date is set for the end of the month and then I have to give the current occupant of the side I want to move into 30 days to move out because of his prior lease agreement.

    Ghost Weirdness

    Never seen that before. Is XP only malfunctioning in the time that is displayed? If you create a file what time/date does it get? If you adjust the time/date in BIOS does XP change system time corespondingly? Is it possible the original is corrupt?

    Besides I don't think the context was portability; but smaller footprint for a stationary case.

    [NEWS] - X-bit reviews Seagate's Momentus 2.5" HDD

    I'll have to defer to you on whether it works or not, but these folks seem to have some success with SIMS products. I do have to disagree about an external drive making a computer system less portable. I'd think about one for a laptop if I had one.

    Splash: What are you using for new systems at work?

    Greg, Is there some reason you want to buy an outrageously expensive motherboard? I have run a SuperMicro MB in the past but I have found just as good stability out of my Tyan 2066. It only goes down for updates and when the UPS battery runs out.

    [NEWS] - X-bit reviews Seagate's Momentus 2.5" HDD

    Why couldn't you attach a USB/FW cd drive to the external port on the computer? For that matter you could attach it only long enough to make an ISO of the disc and then you could disconect and mount the ISO with Daemon Tools.

    Can't sleep, what to do

    It's cute, campy and smart. The Simpsons is similar. I enjoy Seinfeld. Theirs nothing like taking a mundane topic and stripping off all the subtle layers of detail to end up with something still mundane. It's basicly a show about playing with words and how people with odd habits can be friends.

    Best Buy Special-50 pcs 4X-12X CD-RW for $19.99 after rebate

    I have a Norelco and change the heads every 6 months. I can tell a difference and since an electric doesn't cut as close anyway I think its worth it. I also have one of those gilette two blade jobbies. I buy maybe a five pack of heads a year. I save the close cut for special occasions.

    Ford escort vs tree

    It's not the 25mph speed differential I would be worried about in a wreck. It's the stationary walls or tree in the way once the wreck occurs and control of the vehicle is lost.

    Question about ISP provided personal Webpage/space security

    Re: Question about ISP provided personal Webpage/space secur AFAIK, It is not the programming (coding) of the webpage that is the problem. It is how the server handles either bad requests or bad input (in forms). Even when using perl or CGI a sober admin will not give you rights to modify...

    In 92, my Dad had a Volvo 240 (the boxy one) and it maxed out at 95MPH. At this speed the radiator boils out all the coolant and leaves you on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. I DDed a Subaru Imprezza WRX last weekend but not the most current model. Around the Atlanta motor...

    There is a physical limitation to the cable design. And then there is a physical limitation to the cable design once interference is taken into account. I'm sure the cat tests (5,6,7) allow for some interference but how much I don't know. So, a cat 5 cable in a pristene environment may be as...
