Is "God" already taken?

Clocker, I think you better hand back your handle! Steve, that's a nice rig you have. And the photos show a tidy, workmanlike job. (Come to think of it, given your trade, I guess that is only to be expected.) And great to see you adding some oomph to the team. I've slowed right up this last...

Tannin hardly ever reads fiction anymore. He's a very boring man. But I read a little of it now and then. Catch 22 eh? I have a vague memory of Tannin reading and enjoying it way back 20 years before I was born. I'll have a hunt around and see if it's still around the place. Tannin never throws...

I ordered an assortment, Jake. I told the guy what stuff we sell, and said "send me whatever you think will be a goer". That should include PSUs, Pabst fans, and drive coolers. I'll post a mini-review when I get the bits, probably late in the week.

#85 and cookin! Great effort guys. Especially to you JoJo - wow! We are now only 3 places behing Team Mac Central.com. Way to go.

I had forgotten about the ozone layer thing, Cliptin. I guess I've become so used to it that it just seems normal now - which is in itself a sort of comment I suppose. I don't really see high-speed rail as a particularly important factor here in Oz. Oh, you could link the big three cities...

Mmmmm... Cute! Is that you, Flagreen? I really like those apely shoulders. But ... a Compaq? Oh dear.

Nuclear power is, essentially, a huge gamble. What you are doing when you fire up a nuclear power plant is saying "I'm going to take the risk of having a truly huge problem for an extremely long time if something goes wrong, in exchange for the knowledge that I'll not have the much smaller but...

The question was about CDs, Sol, not girls.

Not at all, Prof. Stereodude is absolutely right. It is hard to find. It surprises me that as many people find their way into the forum as actually do. I happened to be yakking on ICQ to Soup_Nazi the other week, told him to get his arse over here and join up. Gave him the www.storageforum.net...

In that case, take one that has been left out in the sun for a while and has warped a little. It will have more interesting aerodynamics, :)

I am depressed, JoJo. That bloody Tannin won't let me add any more crunchers to my little empire ... er ... network. He says that a computer shop is supposed to be computer shop and he hasn't got the time or the space to keep on building crunchers, even though he's got enough parts to build at...

It's only 9:59 here, Uncle Mercutio. Anyway, I thought Orangutangs were supposed to be nocturnal.

Don't mind Tannin, GMac, he seems to think you are from the other side of the little pond for some reason. I have no idea why.

Kristi says she'd choose Pink Floyd's Animals[/i. Though she was tempted to mention some modern rubbish called [i]Tool. Oh. It's not rubbish, I am reliably informed, and they are completely different. Or so she says. ]

The Rolling Stones: Let it Bleed. This one, by the way, was recorded after Bryan Jones was pushed out, but before Mick Taylor joined the band. For a long time people thought Keef did the whole thing himself, but he actually had a little help: there are solos from two more than ordinarily...

Which church did you go to last week?

By the way, that Cream recording of Tannin's I mentioned right up near the top of the thread. I happened to play it because it happened to be laying around on top of a pile. A bit later on I happened to wonder what it was doing on top of the pile, and Kristi told me that she had forgotten to put...

Hey you old farts! Not every young person has had their musical taste destroyed, you know. I might be only seven (or is it three - I forget) but I like Buddy Holly a lot. Also the Beach Boys, Santana, Lynyard Skynard, and I even dragged out some of Tannin's old Dave Warner's From the Suburbs...

The Grammer Police eh? Ha! Where are the Spelling Police when you need them?

Wouldn't it be more fun to change someone ele's title? :) We could auction the right to change a user's title and use the money to help pay for all those broken glasses in the Brewery. And we could offer the right to buy your own title as a pre-emptive move, and protect yourself against being...

If they were really the wrong drivers, surely (had they been competently written in the first place) they should have refused to install? Or at least thrown up a prominent warning message.

Hendrix and Roy Buchanan. Yes. Wondorful guitarists both. But hardly bluesmen. Unless you want to take a definition of blues that is so wide that it is almost meaningless. Or alternatively, unless Buchanan's later work was rather differenbt to the stuff that I'm familiar with. I used to love...

For some reason I seem to have got out of the habit of listening to music lately. I hardly ever put music on anymore, and when I do it often bugs me so I turn it down. I can't concentrate properly with all that noise going on. Even classical music does that to me these days. But I did happen to...

I have moods. Sometimes I visit SR often. Other times I mostly stay away for weeks at a time. This last week or two I've mainly only gone to the Bar and Grille. Or at least my good friend Ekaf-Ami has. He seems to be having a lot of fun conversing with 17 different incarnations of Flagreen.

Hmmm... Seeing as this thread started as a spin-off from a thread about moderation, and looking at the level of personal atack it seems to have degenerated to ... maybe there is a need for five full-time mods! :wink:

You are tooooo yoooung Prof! Tannin says 18 months is hardly any time at all. Which, when you are his age, it probably isn't. But after all, Tannin is 42, which is almost as much as 100, I think. (I get confused after 20. I run out of toes.) Anyway, I shouldn't vote for you as a mod. I'd vote...

Eeek! If I let Tannin anywhere near this thread, he'll be typing away all night and I'll never get to play any Age of Empires.

I would not!

Perhaps you would be kind enough to translate for me, Coug. Google simply renders "calvaire" as "martyrdom", "de" as "of" and leaves the rest alone, though I can guess some of it. Or am I too young to be allowed to know what that phrase means? Perhaps it's better this way: I can simply...

JoJo retakes the lead. (That ProteinA the stipic client mangled this morning would have been enough to keep me ahead too, curse it.) And Team Storage Forum is #105 and counting! Top 100 here we come.

Not really a problem, just a matter of curiosity. I'm running W2K. Up until recently, when I wanted to hang up my modem web connection, I'd bring up the "connected to XYZ ISP" thingy in my task bar, click "disconnect" and wait, oh, maybe a half second or so. But I suddenly discover that I have...

Ahh yes, how could I have forgotten the NEC X86 chips? I had a 12MHz XT once upon a time, a V-20 chip, and I still have a more modest V20 in my collection somewhere. As I recall, NEC eventually won that suit (just as everyone that Intel sued seemed to win eventually - makes Intel look like the...

My feeling, Bill, is that the incredble intransigence and astonishing capacity for hate and violence both sides have demonstrated so far will slowly, ever so slowly, start to dissapate once it becomes absolutely clear that there is no room for manouvere; that, in terms of my proposal above, the...

There is only one answer. The international community has to stop being such hopeless whimps. We tell Israel that it has two choices: (a) get out of the occupied territories forever right now, and we will continue to provide financial and military support on the same scale that we do now for as...

Cool!

Huh?

Thanks Mark, yes. But this is not practical either, for several reasons. First, most of my machines only get restarted once every week or two. Second, (at least until now) Stanford produce new betas roughly three times more often than I restart my machines! And third, I want to vary the number...

Oh, I didn't see your post, Onamatopeiochowonearthdoispellthis? The one prior to my long one about Cyrix/IBM business relationships, I mean. Two quibbles with it. First, IBM started manufacturing for Cyrix a little earlier than that, with the 486 chips. DX/66 and DX/100, I think, though it may...

I already did that, Clocker. fold1.exe fold2.exe and so on. I have shortcuts to each of them in a folder, and a shortcut to the folder in my quicklaunch. But if I click on the wrong one - so easy to do, that is what happens. No wonder JoJo is catching me up! I need the shortcuts because I need...

I really, really, really hate this. [11:56:35] Protein: proteinA [11:56:35] - Run: 93 (Clone 36, Gen 3) [11:56:35] - Frames Completed: 33, Remaining: 67 [11:56:35] - Dynamic steps required: 335000 [11:56:35] [11:56:35] Writing local files: [11:56:35] [11:56:35] parameters...

You really should brush up on your CPU history, Coug. Try Tannin's site. :wink: He's a bit up himself, of course, but he knows his stuff in that department. R&D was the whole idea behind the Cyrix/IBM relationship. At that time, IBM had their own CPU design team. Well, two of them, actually...

Hmmmmm. Tannin has some working 386SX-16 boards I could borrow. Is there a world record for the slowest ProteinA? Ahh, come to think of it, I'd have to find one with a co-pro. That might be a little tricky. He's got a 386DX-40 with a co-pro. That might do. Ahh! What about a 486SLC-25? I know...

A most appropriate term: scumware. I should write to Trend Micro (and all the other anti-virus companies) and ask why they don't detect it.

Tannin can be quite deliberately misleading sometimes. He used a pair of nail scissors.

In what way was the experience of the Jews in Europe 60 years ago different to that of the Palestinians today? I wonder if your suggested "friendly nation in the Middle East" theory holds water, Coug. It's not a period of history I claim any expertise in (so far as I am concerned, anything...

Great link, Rocco!

Quite right, Bartender. Perhaps I should take a rest.
