Huh? Now I see an image.

Image? What image?

Good idea. The tiny light green text in the <code> blocks hurts Mercutio's eyes.

Oh.

huh?

Ohh, don't worry about Tannin, he's just a grumpy person. He even argues with me! But as for monkey business, I'm a little retarded in that department. DB seems to want to teach it too me but I'm not sure I want to lean it just yet. Does it have something to do with lying under the bar and...

Tis cool, Jake. I'm still your friend. It's only Tannin that is arguing with you. But Tannin argues with everyone. (Apart from my natural friendliness, of course, I need you to arrange for me to meet that cute orang friend of yours, name of Slo.)

Align Text 2.0.0 This creates a new BBCode, 'your_code'. It simply takes the code and aligns it left, right or center depending what you specify I like this one. Would be very handy. And we multiple types will really benefit from the "mark all topics read" thingo. We couldn't find it either.

One half of the platter, yes. But it's the top half. Or possibly the bottom half. In other words, the single head uses one side of the platter only, and covers that full-stroke.

The SE is a common drive and should be easy to get hold of. I'd try swapping the board with another one - that will only cost you a few dollars and some time. And if that doesn't work, what the hell? Try swapping whatever other bits you can reach. It will run for a little while before it dies...

Yup: fair comment, Time. My assessment of Abit is almost entirely based on reputation. We did have a box of ten KT-133 boards a year or so ago, which all went perfectly, but that's about it. A-Open, the same applies. Were I to try them more regularly I might feel differently. As for ASUS, we...

I'd trust Gigabyte before I trusted MSI to get it right. I don't know where MSI's sudden reputation as one of the majors has come from. They always used to be regarded as just another average generic 386 board maker back when they put "Microstar" instead of "MSI" on their boxes, and I have yet...

Black Hole: a celestial object that absorbs radiation but does not emit it (because of the extreme gravitational field). The idea of a fan that sucks without blowing is apt.

Excuse Tannin please, people. He's a bit bloody-minded today. (Err... a bit more than usually bloody-minded, I mean. He's ordinarily bloody-minded every day.) So I guess it's up to me to try to respond to Handruin's question. POP3 client, multiple accounts into one in-box: that's easy. But...

I must have been bored. After the discussion of browsers and email clients in another thread just now, I tok it into my head to take another look at Netscape. OK, I know it's based on the Mozilla engine and I already have Moz, but I was curious. After the dreadful 6.0, could they have made it...

Ahh, thankyou Blakerwry. I'm aware of the skins for Moz, and they help a lot, but somehow it always seems to have a trace of that milled-from-the-solid-turd look that Netscape 6.0 introduced, skin or no skin. Just me, I guess.

(Keeping very quiet in this thread.)

I was trying for it, but Coug beat be by one post. :(

I'm not familiar with the most recent Western Digitals, only seen a handful of them, but I'd certainly feel a little uneasy about it, and make sure my backups are good. (Backup 100GB - ha! Short of fancy tape gear or another 100GB drive, what can you do?) Buck is the WD expert. What was the...

Don't payy to much attention to Tannin, people. He just grumbles a lot.

Hi Blakewry. Nice to see you around. I still think that Moz looks terrible by comparison with Opera or IE or even Netscape 4.X, but it just keeps getting better and better so far as the practicalities go. As a browser, anyway. I have never used it as an email app. (I'm perfectly happy with...

Ignore Tannin, Buldog. He's just grumpy because of all the money he has spent this week. Welcome aboard, by the way. Nice to see you here. And, er, Tannin - make mine a gin and tonic, thankyou.

Hmmm. Wanna bet that he likes ATI video cards too?

A good choice, Mercutio. We sold a couple of hundred of them and were happy. One thing to bear in mind is that they are near end of life now, and EOL products often are a little suspect - they seem to use up the dregs. (Not commenting on Soltek in particular here, just board makers in general...

Does he buff and polish it?

Mmmmmm. Cute! Have you ever considered becoming an orangutan, Slo? I don't usually say this to humans, but I think you might just have the talent.

Now I'm up again. Unfortunately, I have to go to the office. Tannin spent a whole lot of money earlier this week, and now I have to go and help make some of it back. Sometimes life is like that. Sigh.

Oh I can drive quite well, thankyou JKKJ. I have clearer eyesight, better concentration, and faster reflexes than most humans. On the other hand, I have a lot of trouble reaching the pedals. No-one seems to take short people into account when they are designing vehicles :( so I mostly let...

That was yesterday. My question for today is: why isn't anybody up yet? (Reluctantly, Tea gives up on Storage Forum for the evening. She's already been to Storage Review (nothing), and read all the news on the Reg and the Inq. The Phonicians have taken a sound beating in Age of Empires, twice...

Are you a sales monkey or just a pretender? How well do you know your customer base? Take the Hairy Ape's Quiz and find out. Just answer this one simple question. People who would buy a Microsoft security product would also buy:

Thanks for the tip. Time. We pretty much only sell the 670U and the 660U, and I doubt that those relatively low-end products will drop too much. Right now I think we have two or maybe three 670Us in stock, which is maybe two weeks' supply. Should be safe enough. As for the other matter, yes...

I'd be in it, except for one thing. For details, see Tannin's "Cold" thread in the P&B. :(

I wouldn't actually choose to live in Hobart, it's too urban for my taste, but if I had to live in a city, then Hobart would be close to the top of my list. I like Brisbane best of all, but as Time says, the summers are horrible. I guess one of the reasons I listed Brisbane so high is that I...

The Bat is nice. I almost bought it, but decided to go with PMMail instead.

Netscape Messenger, Euadora, Pegasus, PMMail, Opera Mail, Mozilla Mail, The Bat, Incredimail ... that should do to start with. This page lists 161 others, doubtless there are more.

I hate it when Tannin stops taking his medication.

I should mention that the reason I was removing Outlook Express 6 (and any orher versions of Outlook that happened to be on that machine) was because of the current virus epedimec ("Bugbear" is it? whatever). We have been swamped in virus-removal jobs this week, and every single one has been...

Tannin, you are completely paranoid. That is a ridiculous accusation. I'm surprised at you. Well, no. Come to think of it, knowing your love of conspiracy theories large and small, I'm not surprised. Pour yourself something or other over ice and go to bed.

Waffle.

That thing is tiny. Neat. Just the thing for some industrial espionage. Will we have to call you "Professor James Bond Wizard" now?

This is making good sense to me. I suggest that, in this place and this place only we should be able to, and in fact encouraged to, edit our posts, so that we can improve them over time. Let's say Tannin starts a thread off by writing a long, thoughtful post about, oh, choosing suitable optical...

Ouch! Sometimes I think my job is tough. Then I see what other people do (your case is an excellent example, Fushigi) and decide that I've got it easy.

I can't recall ever seeing so many people on at this time of night before. (10:00PM my time.)

Actually, I wasn't joking. I really figured it might be Maxtor Diamond somethingorother. I mean they have or had Diamond Max and a few other Diamond thingies. (runs and hides)

Maxtor Diamond Thingie, perhaps?

I clicked MY COMPUTER I clicked CONTROL PANEL I clicked ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS I clicked OUTLOOK EXPRESS 6 I clicked REMOVE "Are you sure you want to completely remove the selected application and all of its components?" I clicked YES "Warning: removing Microsoft Outlook Express 6 may mean...

Hobart.

And you are ... er ... the one on the left?

I do not!

Hey - I get to vote twice? :) Cool. So where is the new poll?
