On what speed of computer?

I'm in the same boat with you Tim. I have to start thinking about replacing the Legend now that is has 210K on it. You also seem to be in a similar financial situation as I. I've just started the search so the only advice I have is to search out the manufs that are offering 0% financing. I heard...

OH. Is that how you make whine? :P

Which 9500 did you get?

Since the threads you posted seem out of context with the topic at hand, I'd assume they've done dome work on it.

Merc, Are you and your office on the same exchange? http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20010823.html

Were they all digital? I remember (perhaps incorrectly) my CGA card was a D-sub but I don't remember the ping count.

Then this has to be a slap in the face from an extra leathery hand

I thought most DSL in the states was 1.5M down/ 256k up. Granted we still pay more.

I must have missed your points of contention because we seem to be agreeing down the line.

BTW, Back in the day the reports were that the EV6 would top out at 400MHz (200MHz DDR). AMD has lots of interesting stuff in store for the future. AMD-8000™ Series Chipsets Integrated DDR DRAM AMD HyperTransport™ Technology

I don't buy it. If Intel owned the EV6 intelectual property, why would they license it to AMD? I would think they would withhold a license like they did back in the day with the GTL+ and AGTL protocols that Intel themselves use. At least originally AMD licensed EV6 directly from DEC. If this...

The deal is I have some drives that work fine. And I have at least one (that I am using as a boot drive) that makes funny noises but seems to work fine.

OK. But it's a windows cup not a computer cup. Is this one of those things when the analogy has to break down somewhere.

I don't get it.

Do they need to be in perfect working order or just usable?

I presume your old CPU was a thunderbird. The 1.2G thunderbird was rated to produce 66W of heat. Depending on whether you have the 6-8-0 or the 6-8-1 2200+ your new CPU is rated to output either 67.9W or 62.8W. Since you say your temps are nearly the same I would guess that you have the 6-8-0...

You deserve it Doug. Enjoy.

How can you use a mouse that small? I have difficulty moving the little guy around without dragging my hand across the table all the way around the mouse.

You might be experiencing a combination of the optical ball-reader and the wireless transmitter powering down. Supposed to be better than they used to be but then I've never complained about it. Turning the acceleration down might help with the overshoot on the catch-up.

Yes, all else being equal. It is certainly possible for the price difference to be enough to pay for the additional 2-years of warranty with no increase in actual reliability. Aren't the JBs selling for more? Based on Bucks prevous posts we can assume that the extra two years cost $10, at least...

You can say that again Gary. I was thinking the same thing.

I would install Netbios first. I don't think it's installed by default either. If all you are trying to do is connect the one machine to the other I wouldn't bother with WINS. It's easy to install later if needed.

Don't even start with the stones!

Thanks. What is a Campagnolo?

I watch maybe 3 hours of TV a month and that's all at once. I almost never remember to turn on the radio. Lately I have been religiously monitoring Google News. It pulls in news reports from media across the globe. I have checked in on this site from time to time. I have to agree that it is...

It's a little disturbing that you would think this would be offensive; otherwise while regrettable the story makes sense. It is a bit simplistic though. Simply compare the average age of the two forces and you can find explaination for some of the actions.

Oh my, oh my. :lol:

I set a client up with the NTI BackupNow. After I configured the Software I only had to give him minimal instructions to keep the thing humming. I set up a schedule so the only thing they have to do is change CDs. 1. If the CD tray is out, the backup completed. Replace the CD in the tray with...

I realize "The Vole" refers to MS but what does it mean?

From the same website: http://www.maximusdvd.com/playdvd.htm Now, that's cool.

I suppose you mean "even Cliptin". I ran out of machines at work. Whereas I used to have 15 machines at work and 5 machines at home, I now have only one machine at work and 3-4 machines at home. Frankly, I'll bet most of my productivity these days is donated.

I think that petite spoiler looks nice; not overbearing. It complements the sporty wheels. If you get it changed, where would the third tail-light be.

Does anyone else have trouble logging out? As in, the only way to log out to chnge usernames is to delete the SF cookie. I've talked with Doug about it and I want to see if anyone else is having this trouble.

Is any one aware of a good RF trackball?

The term "throwing good money after bad" down a hole comes to mind. I was just thinking of the heat that would be generated trying to compress a liquid. That's an obstacle by itself.

It means they rebuilt the program (apache) from source code into binaries instead of using prebuilt binaries. Theoretically, you can optimize the binaries for your particular hardware this way. Realisticly, unless they are using some pretty esoteric hardware it may not help much. It's a place to...

For all we know it could be DNS domains. Not that that makes any more sense. Clocker, can you give us an example of a "domain name"?

heh. I quoted his post and then grabbed it out of the quote.

:D

Otherwise I've had no problems on any day.

It got laggy on me there for a second. 1 <10 ms 15 ms <10 ms smoothwall [192.168.0.1] 2 16 ms <10 ms 16 ms adsl-34-154-1.cha.bellsouth.net [67.34.154.1] 3 <10 ms 15 ms 16 ms 209.215.10.1 4 16 ms <10 ms 16 ms 205.152.151.248 5 31 ms 31 ms 32...

At some point it becomes deciding how many pins or pads you need to make the proc work and then designing the physical interface. AMD didn't design the slot-A interface for AMD or you or me but for the motherboard manufacturers. They already have the stock on hand and don't have to keep two...

Their spirit is gone but the stench remains? :lol:

I think he was complementing your pattern recognition skills. Not every body is as good at recognizing certain patterns as you. It's a gift really.

Looks kind of ham-handed to me. :o

I have driven that loop once. Nice little town...from the freeway.

I hear my grandad had a gyroscope mounted in the trunk of his jeep. I know what a gyroscope is and this is not the same thing is it?

I wonder if they have done something dumb like place both of the drives on the same IDE controller.

After the war is done, the US and Russia will need to come to an understanding...
