I don't expect a Malibu or G6 to have all the same features as the 93, but if GM wants me to buy one, they better match at least a Sonata or a Accord, which they don't. I don't consider a car with a four-speed automatic transmission and a 200HP V6 engine to be a good value when the competition...

A GeForce 6150-based motherboard plus an nVidia card with two outputs should also do the trick. The integrated graphic of the GeForce 6150 can be used in combo with the separate graphic card. Maybe you could do the same with an ATI Xpress200 chipset and a dual-output ATI card, but I'm not...

Leds last longer than fluorescents?

Floridians will be pissed. Not only did they lived the worst year ever for the number of hurricanes, now they have one coming in February.

Based on my calculations, Fush is driving a little less than 15000 miles per year or close to 24000Km. With his 25mpg car, he pumps almost 600 gallons into his tank per year. At 3U$ per gallon, Fushigi spends around 1800U$ per year to feed his four wheelers. I drive some 30000Km per year on...

I don't speak a normal language either. At least not by your standards. You'll have to swim too. Hanoi is in Viet-Nam. Try not to trip on a personal mine.

Fluorescent light bulbs have been on the market for years and yet, they haven't replaced incandescent in most houses, despite the fact that they are way more efficient. Why? They cost more (not on the long term, but they are more expensive at first) and they are often bigger so they don't fit...

Where are you heading on that train? Alice Springs?

I woke up at 3:22am, but I forced myself to bed until 6:48am. 5 hours of sleep isn't enough when you're training. What's so important to talk about?

Are you guys telling me that my written English is better than the one of most English-speaking American citizen? Despite the fact that I never speak English? Pitiful.

I certainly wouldn't spend money on a PATA HDD. I linked the review so that you can see the noise/power dissipation characteristics of the drive, but I don't expect anyone to buy it until it become available in SATA version.

Read their review here. Their unit is PATA, SATA is not yet available for the 5400.3. No performance benchmark, but a good read if you're interested by the noise and vibration of the drive.

Now, now, now. Don't make Clocker cry.

So maybe now it will be possible to fix the stats? It is dear to my heart. My life is grey and I have trouble sleeping since the stats have been broken. Will you bring sunlight to my existence?

And we are now in 2006 and they still come with a four-speed automatic transmission. To their credit, GM's new cars have better chassis than the models they replaced. The G6, while not in the same ball park as the Camry/Accord or even the new Sonata, is way better than the Grand Am. Same...

I was not trying to bash your work, Tannin. I was trying to help you to improve it. I missed the line where you wrote that you didn't check for errors.

DOWNLOADING AD-AWARE and TO USE SPYWAREBLASTER sections are entirely in bold. Other sections are not. Plus, for reading ease, I think it looks better with the additional empty spaces between paragraphs in Merc's original document. Re-inserting the additional spaces shouldn't take 105K I think.

Previously, you always type program names in capital letters. You did it too for the first sentence above, but after that, nope. IMO, it would have been better to either a) continue in capital for the entire document or b) leave Spywareblaster in normal capitalisation in this section.

Nvidia's 2D problem have been serious up to the GeForce 3 Titanium and the GeForce 4. After those, their 2D has been ok. Not Matrox-like, but acceptable. Before the GeForce 3 Titanium, it was aweful from 1280x1024 and up. That was in 2002 IIRC. Since, it's been 3D quality that has...

Personally, I find it quite hilarious that Mac preachers spent years telling that their G3/G4/G5-based shiny boxes were so much faster than Intel x86 systems, only to find them switch to Intel and claim that their new architecture will be so much faster than their old one.

You don't like my first explanation attempt? Then here's my second : because they felt like naming it 1.0. They don't have to make a public consultation everytime they ship a new milestone regarding its revision number. You're not the one spending time to develop it ; you don't have a word...

I'm no expert on FF extensions (I haven't used any), but I think there are way too many to make an installation package of a reasonnable size.

I see that you put Hitachi SATA drives in your servers. While they are great drives for workstations, they don't offer very optimised performances for server access patterns, at least according to SR's benchmarks. The two fastest 7.2Krpm, SATA drives for servers are the Western Digital (which...

About the mail and the address book, Thunderbird is offered both on Mac and Windows PCs. Install Thunderbird on the Mac and import the mail and addresses. Then, send it to your Windows PC. It's the same software so it must use the same formats. I never tried, but it should work.

I believe you would have a hard time selling all your 3Ware 8506-4LP for more than 120$ each, so that's hardly what I call a small fortune. I'm sure you paid a lot for them, but so does people who bought a Pentium Pro ten years ago... I've reviewed your various systems and while I'm sure there...

Look at the very bottom of that page : Prouduct Specifications. That's a gem.

I fully agree with everything Mark wrote.

Monkeys prefer to edit preferences rather than access options via the tools menu.

The woman will go if you don't have a house where she can occuppied herself cleaning things and if you don't drive a sports car to impress her.

You mean that you stack computers in them. Why don't you simply buy shoebox systems and use external storage racks? That would allow you to save quite a lot of space. IIRC, you have around 11TB worth of drives for a useable space of 7TB. That's either 37 300GB drives, 28 400GB drives or 22...

It is the first "SeaMonkey" version. SeaMonkey is derivated from Mozilla, but it doesn't use the same gecko engine as the original Mozilla 1.0 release. IMO, especially with the name change, a 1.0 revision number is justified. Naming it 2.0 would be just like, say, if Ubuntu would start its...

They'll ship me a sports car, a house and a pretty woman if I download their shit?

Great guide. When will it be available in French so that I can send it to my users?

Hairy Aussie will be happy. SeaMonkey 1.0 page on Mozilla.org. From the few tests I've seen, SeaMonkey and the old Mozilla branch is a tiny bit faster than fireFox for browsing because it is based on a newer gecko engine.

Handruin will come back strong on me. With QMDs, I had no problem to distance him, but without, I'm helpless against his Athlon 64.

I guess that makes you our elder. In the race to the cemetery, you're in the lead. Congrats ;-) Greg must not be far behind as well.

Motherboards or people, you never figured out how to ajust multipliers ;-)

Confirmed. Using Firefox 1.5. No pop-up, no crash, no evil occurances. Your PCs are all f**ked up! Call me for a proper installation. I'll lower my hourly rate for you. 75$/hour instead of 80$ Can't say I'm not generous with my friends. ;-)

Tony, I think Eric is one year younger than you are. I lost the count, but one way or another, he's not far. Buck might have reached his fifties, but if he did, it is a recent event.

Thanks. So it means that I should buy in confidence? I'll probably call them then. I hope they can deal with a thick French accent.

Tom Pabst steps down from CEO title. His editor in chief (David Strom) does too. The first comment of the short news post is comic too.

This store has awesome prices for Seasonic power supplies. Too bad their script doesn't work when you want to order something online (at least it doesn't work under Firefox and Opera : I refuse to use IE). 69$CAD for an S12-380HB is a great price (even if it's 3% discounted for cash). We have...

I don't think a 300HP electric motor is feasible right now for vehicles the size of the Atom. A 300HP engine working with bio-diesel would though. Think about the torque of that thing! Another interesting thing to try would be an Atom with four electrical wheel motors.

But time doesn't live in San Francisco area.

LiamC is unfortunately wrong. Both drives are available in both black and beige. The 3540A has improved reading and writing speed for dual-layer DVDs (both + and -). Read speed for DVD±RW is also improved (13X max vs 8X max for the older model. You can find reviews of both units at...

Shit, I've checked the roads...they are incredibly curvy. According to my map, that's 3410Km by the coast. "Straight" must be a banned term in Australia. You know, using an airplane, 3500km would be enough to go from Townsville to Perth.

You're ok with the distance from Brisbane (it's more like 1300km), but unless roads are incredibly curvy in Australia, it shouldn't be farther than 2500km from Ballarat. After 3500km, he'd be midway between Adelaide and Perth (in the middle of nowhere).

FORMULA VEE SPECIFICATIONS Engine 1200cc or 1600cc standard Volkswagen engine (depending on state competing within). No modifications permitted other than polishing/porting of cylinder heads and balancing engine components. Approximately 50 HP produced. Gearbox Standard Volkswagen (VW 1200...

Cheaper at Computer Giants : 328$. I don't know how they charge for the shipping. Maxtor sells an external firewire 800 version for 356$. Found all them through SR's price engine.

First place I looked was Newegg. 350$ with shipping. It is listed as being in stock. Maybe other stores sell it too.
