I can save in plain text also, but since the forums have pictures and smilies and so forth, I prefer to save in html. If you could do one thread in the final format you prefer, maybe I can eventually find the time to edit the whole bunch in that same format. I've been a bit busy as of late...

The topic says it all. When I try to save any forum page, I end up with a "Web page not saved" message. I'm using IE5 and Win98, and I have no problem saving pages from SR's forum which uses the same software.

Sorry about the untimely response-I've been a bit busy as of late. Anyway, here goes: Not at all, you're merely stating your opinion, just as I previously stated mine. :) I'm really surprised my post drew the kind of response it did. I was merely trying to explain the symbolism behind the...

I remember you saying the same thing in another thread also. I think you're probably the only person in the world with access to television who hasn't seen that footage. In the event you ever do see it, you might understand all the talk about turning Afghanistan into a parking lot that...

The lights will be on every night until April 11. After that, they may use them from time to time for special occasions. Just my opinion, but if I were in charge I would keep them on every night until a new replacement World Trade center was completely built. The electricity runs...

The glow is from the searchlights at ground zero, although the pic does look a bit edited. It may have been taken on a foggy day, though. I can sometimes see the tops of those light towers from my backyard 10 miles away. Nice picture but the truth is I'd rather have the towers back. Nearly...

Re: 512 The fix is simple, just a few lines in the system.ini file: [vcache] minfilecache=0 maxfilecache=393216 chunksize=512 This is for my Win98 machine with 768 MB RAM. You can use up to 524287(=just under 512 MB) for the maxfilecache. I also have ConservativeSwapFile Usage=1 so that...

I'm not sure if any kind of petition would be a good idea. Jason is starting his new job today, so hopefully the problem will go away on it's own. I do agree that it is becoming a distraction, and Jason's posts keep popping up like New York cockroaches. I consider this whole thing a mixed...

Those pictures were rather haunting, and brought back a few things, to say the least. I have 3000+ photos relating to the WTC from various sources, but most are low resolution and don't convey the sheer horror of it like those pictures do. I'm probably one of the few at SF or SR who has seen...

Interesting idea, but it has to be made to operate at room temperature. If the effect reverses above -23° C, you're basically screwed if the refrigeration system gives out. I think the future of storage is non-volatile RAM. There are a bunch of contenders using various technologies, and it'll...

That sounds familiar. Tiger jumps on the table and does the same thing with me. My sister's cat does that. Each cat has it's own idiosyncrasies. Sometimes they seem so human it's almost scary. And I really do think they're alot more intelligent than they let on. They play cute and get...

They're planning 15,000 revolutions every minute, last I heard. :D

Nothing can probably compare to Tannin's story, but I have an interesting one of my own. It's not computer related, but it is electronics related. First the prelude: I used to work at a place mainly repairing taximeters for about two years. They closed the New York office and laid everyone...

Did you ever see "Gladiator"? I loved those games! At least the chance of getting killed would justify the multimillion dollar salaries sports figures today receive. Bring back the gladiatorial games! :idea:

I've always posted sober, but this is mainly due to the fact that I hardly ever drink. New Years and a few other holidays are about the only time I have anything stronger than beer, and even with beer, a six pack will last me a month or two. I don't think I could post drunk-one beer puts me...

I think it is partly caused by lack of certain oils in the diet, and partly caused by obsessive cleaning behavoir. The vet can give you a dietary supplement. Longhairs are much more suspectible to it, and our Persian has had this problem in a major way the last few years, although not...

Mercutio: That's a very interesting story. I suspect on some level fetching behavoir is instinctive to cats. I play a similar game with one of my cats, named Tiger, where I throw a small acorn and the cat chases it. Occasionally, she even drops the acorn near me when she wants to play. The...

39. I'll be 40 on November 30.

That story about taking care of strays sounds familiar. My mom started feeding some strays. Some then had kittens, and others came once the word got out. When all was said and done, we ended up with four cats in the house, and found homes for probably 10 more. Three of them are still around...

I saw many JTS drives being sold on eBay in "non-working", parts only condition. Based on this, I would say reliability was not one of this brand's strong points.

Welcome aboard! No forum is complete without The Giver! :)

I'm using IE5(complete version info is 5.00.2614.3500) and I get the same thing.

Yep, I've watched my mom prepare many Italian dishes, and most are really easy to make. Some, such as lasagna, may require many steps and take a while, but no special skills are required. Of course, you have all the pots and pans at the end... I love Chinese food myself, but I think the art...

I can cook a few simple things-spaghetti with sauce, BLTs, cinnamon toast, hot dogs(I don't think that counts), anything frozen, and probably a few more things that I don't remember. I don't dislike the cooking part too much, but rather the cleanup part, so I don't cook very often...

Best time to read or write an entire disk=35 seconds, or approximately 40KB/sec read/write speed. In CD-ROM terms this is 0.27X :(

There are times when you need them, especially when working with older hardware that just can't boot to a CD. On most machines, I would say CD-RW is largely taking over the function formerly done by floppies, but until Mt. Rainier compliant hardware is in nearly all machines, the floppy will...

Well, I see the 25 posts per page problem has been fixed :D What is the maximum posts per page now(or is the limit gone entirely)? Glad to see everyone so far is with me on the no banner ads thing. I don't want to see Handruin unfairly footing the bill for what essentially amounts to a...

:cry:

That is kind of funny :) The strange thing is that RR Tycoon II might actually have been somewhat helpful to this guy's job in a roundabout sort of way, or so he would have said if anybody asked him. On the other hand, he probably just liked to play the game. In either case, Canadian...

I've seen someone with the same username and argumentative attitude on the train-sim.com forums, if anyone is interested. BTW, train-sim.com is a site devoted to Microsoft Train Simulator, in case anyone here besides myself has an interest in railroading. No.

Nice to see a bunch of familiar faces here already. Tannin/Tea/Tony Wilson invited me over to help with the beta testing. I'm using my SR handle, in case you're wondering who I am. :) Anyway, I had a couple of ideas for the new forum: 1)If possible(and with Eugene and Davin's permission, of...
