Hexus.net claims to have successfully and very easily OCed a Venice A64-3000 (1.8GHz) to 2.8GHz. This would be the granddaddy of all overclocks.

Earlier Canons appear to have had those fatal "E18" errors (Google, camera review sites). Has this problem been fixed in newer models?

Sorry, CityK! Was away from April 9 till a few days ago. I really haven't had a chance to use the enclosure, nor will I for quite a while. All my hardware related stuff has been on hold for a long time. When I do get to test it, I'll let you know. FWIW, I bought a WD 120GB USB2/FW external last...

Thanks for the posts, i, very interesting!

The AG Neovo F-419 is $285 after $50 rebate at ZipZoomFly. Free 2nd day shipping, tax if applicable on $335.

Dan Neil, auto critic for the L.A. Times, wrote a scathing review of the Pontiac G6 on Wednesday. While I had no interest in the car, Dan has a way with words I find amusing, and I was shaking my head as I read his review. In it he recommends that the company dump Rick Wagoner, Chairman & CEO...

Never seen a $2 bill. :-( This country has too much litigation. But this Mike fella should sue Worst Buy and the cop, who, of all people, should know the law. The cop could at least have treated him with decency till everything got sorted out. Looks like in this case, guilty until proven innocent.

How four underdogs from the mean streets of Phoenix took on the best from M.I.T. in the national underwater bot championship. Fascinating story.

Thanks for the warning, CityK. Bytecc generally seems to have a good rep., and it is surprising that they screwed up with this one. The local Fry's Electronics had the ADS Dual Link Drive kit (DLX-185) for $60 - $20 rebate, and I bought it. 5.25 / 3.5", integrated worldwide power supply, ball...

Doug, When I first got my Gmail account, they gave me several invites (10? 20?) which I never used. At one point, they pulled all the invites and I had none. I hadn't checked my Gmail account in several months (i don't actually use it). When i wanted one, I checked and found there were 50. I've...

You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

Symantec Norton Ghost 2003 (OEM), $10 + shipping

I've never heard of AG Neovo?! Newegg has the F-419 for $318 - $50 MIR + $12 shipping. Are these comparable to the Dell 1905FPs?

You're a good man, Buck.

Thanks Pradeep. My mistake; I thought "ThermalTake Tower" was the case!

You should be ashamed of yourself for mistreating a fellow creature. I'm telling the Humane Society.

In $16.4B Deal Awash in profits while gas prices soar. Drowning in profits and impending layoffs. A very pretty picture indeed.

Thanks, Pradeep and time. I'm getting senile, so pardon me for nickeling and diming you. What HSF are you using?

A very comprehensive timeline, from birth to death.

That's awesome, Pradeep! Can you please tell us what motherboard / RAM you're using with that processor? Thanks!

My understanding is that it doesn't matter where on the planet you are; the ash will create horrendously cold conditions all over. One line of dialogue in "The Day After Tomorrow" is stuck in my mind; somebody says to Quaid, something to the effect of "We are all going to die", and he replies...

Overclockable to what speed, Coug?

I saw "The Day After Tomorrow" last night. They took a very important topic and marginalized it. Just like "Independence Day". Same Director, of course. More importantly, see this Yahoo news item; Expert says "Super volcano" could dwarf Indonesia's earthquake catastrophes and set off Ice Age"...

One more, on a tangential note, the Pope. Please read thru to the end. L.A. Times Commentary: A Portrait of the Pope as a Dying Man

Me too (underlined word mine). Only to post a link. L.A. Times Editorial: The Schindlers' Train ID/PW required. Get it from BugMeNot.

Thanks, Merc. That explains something; a cousin emailed about 9 pics in a single email that was ~ 14.5 MB to my Yahoo email a/c. I got the email, but It's a bear to download these to the local drive; Yahoo's interface sucks so bad. I tried forwarding the email to my ISP email a/c (Adelphia) and...

What is the maximum attachment size for email sent to Gmail and Yahoo accounts, does anybody know? Specifially, an email with multiple attachments (pics).

Sheesh, they've given me 50 invites. PM me your current email addy and I'll send you one. I read a news item today that they're upping the storage to 2GB. Yahoo is going from 250MB to 1GB. We can stop buying disks now. Just get a fast connection!

Thank you, CityK and Buck.

I shouldn't be asking this, but I'm still stuck in the Pentium-3 era, so forgive me. Will a stick of PC-2100 work in a system that needs PC-133? AFAIK, they're the same, speeds and all, just old wine in a new bottle, so it should work. TIA!

I did read what you wrote. perhaps it is you that misunderstood what I wrtoe, and with reason. I did not mean to imply that I told my neurologist acquaintance that the Mayo Clinic guy was a Christian; I didn't bring that up, but had read that in a news item. However, the way I wrote my earlier...

RW, You keep insisting Michael is responsible for his wife's condition. If this is true, why hasn't the state proceeded against him? Why hasn't the judge ordered an autopsy? Are you saying that every judge/court in this country before which this case has appeared, and which has agreed with the...

That may well be. But is is also well known that the neurologist in question is a staunch pro-life Christian. I bumped into a neurologist acquaintance on Friday, and mentioned this, and he was livid, saying that the Mayo Clinic guy was mixing religion and medicine to further his religious...

I'd like to go elsewhere too, but am too old to be attractive as an immigrant. There are some very rough times ahead for the U.S. "The pig is moving through the python". America's aging. An increasing %age of the population will not be working but will have to be paid (SocSec) and cared for...

Only Fushigi gave an answer, and a part one at that. I'll try, even though my personal opinion on this is that she should have been let go a long time ago. There are bascially three parties that want to keep her alive. a) Her parents. They believe she'll turn around some day, so they want her...

Is T-bird consiedered to be part of Seamonkey?

You're not clear, time; somebody who believes in what? Keeping her alive or withdrawing support? This issue has been debated ad nauseam in the media already.

Eerie timing - Amazon's data-collection habits under fire.

I use Netscrape Communicator 4.78 for email. Can somebody suggest a good no-cost or low-cost spam blocker/handler/deleter? My specific need at this time is to block 2 specific email IDs. I'd prefer not to change email clients, but will if I have to. In that case, I'll need suggestions for a...

Tsk tsk. There you go spilling the beans, CityK.

Certainly cause for concern. Where can I buy a 22" Mistu CRT again? I have my screensaver set to "blank" after n minutes, and after y minutes my CRT goes to sleep. I've never ever liked "nice" screensavers.

There are many systems like this, but I'd hazard a guess that few are this accurate. Jeff B. is known to be obsessive, a stickler for numbers and facts. So you can be sure that they've worked really hard on this one to perfect their mining and predicting techniques. And from what I've read, they...

Story at News.com. It did a reinstall of the new version for me even though I asked to do an update.

Just tried them, worked fine for me. Has been the last several days.

It's been kind of slow the last few days, even just to browse around. Sorry I can't be more specific.

Can you change directories to the CD, then run Ghost from the Ramdrive and let it pick up the ini from the CD?

Sorry you're having a bad day, Piyono. Sometimes when it rains it pours. Just hang in there. You certainly have a point there. But AFAIK, the 12V rail is used by the drive motors, not electronics, which use the 5V rail. It just may be that the other drives have a more robust design of the...

Your old "failing" drive, and the new one had repetitive problems inside your system, but both worked on the first try in the external enclosure. That leads me to believe the problem is with your system. It could be the power supply is failing in your system; since the external enclosure is...

What board is the overclocked Winchester running on?

Certainly doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in them, eh? On related issues, where are the plans to make 2.5" SATA drives? If SAS controllers can use a mix-n-match hodge-podge of SAS and SATA, logic dictates that 2.5" SATA drives should be in the wings as well. Thoughts?
