That same thing has just happened to me and yes, I lost all the new post notifications.

Zx must have received his parts ; he's giving me more trouble than he should. I decided to overclock my puny Pentium 4 J505 this afternoon. It is now clocked at 2.94GHz, with 367MHz RAM. My Asus P5P800's BIOS doesn't allow me to set the RAM at 400MHz unless I push the CPU to 4GHz, which it...

Forget Canada Merc. This country will also have a redneck leading it. Steven Harper, leader of the clueless farmer party (they call themselves "conservative"), should win the upcoming January 23rd election. He's for guns, plans to triple the size of the army and he's against Kyoto and any...

50 a year...for yourself? You're insane. Totally, unquestionably insane. Do you rent a warehouse to store them? That's one unit per week. It must be a weird feeling to wake up Monday morning and then being suddenly struck with the following thought : "Damn!, My computer is SEVEN days old...

Here when we have energy surplus, we can sometimes sell it to the main electricity company. Maybe the Aussie electricity company will ask you to piss on the power line? Would you do it?

Are you 100% sure it was Bill? Really 100%? because it wasn't.

It's not a video like the others, but I've always find this one funny. If you've seen "The Gladiator", you'll find it even funnier. Warning, it's in flash. P.S. Call 911! CALL 911!

I liked Ubuntu too, but Kubuntu better (Ubuntu with KDE instead of Gnome). What I hate with Linux is drivers. Or lack of. Forget 3D on that OS. Whatever your GPU is, it will be wasted. Win Server 2003 also gets my vote. I'm on Win2K right now, but when I'll change, that's the OS I'll...

VIA works, but it's behind in both features and performances. I don't think you can run your memory with very agressive timings on VIA boards. If I was to build 20 general purpose boxes on which I wouldn't want to make maintenance, maybe I would consider VIA. But for my own system, nope. I...

Unreal Tournament 2007, if it looks as good as the pictures posted on this site, will be awesome. I'll need to find money for a new system and a powerful graphic card. This guy looks friendly.

Instead of an Athlon X2, buy a s939 Opteron like the 165. It's 1.8GHz, and 1MB of L2 cache per core. It's cheaper than a 4200+ and it has more cache than a 3800+, not to mention that it should overclock even better. I'm not sure if it's still the case, but there was a time when the RAM bus...

The site has been slow for me for the last hour or so. Half-an-hour ago, the bits down my cable line would have lost a race to a snail.

The forums look just like they did before. No two lines titlebar for me. The titlebar would have to be pretty long to need two lines for me : my desktop is 1680 pixels wide.

Really? I thought he viewed us as a bunch of deserters.

My P4 2.66GHz/533MHz FSB gives me 360 points/day on average. There is something wrong if you only get 150 points per day.

There were computers before your time? 500MB hard drives were popular around 1994-1995 IIRC.

He said "ready to catch-up". That's admitting the processors he puts in his boxes are curently inferior. No reason as a customer to buy Dell then. Good.

Where's the Andromeda galaxy in that picture? Is it the big yellow spiral in the lower-right corner? It must be one of the bigest spirals in that picture because it's a galaxy twice the size of the milky way and it's our closest neighbor.

It must be the H5N1 (bird flu). You'll all die. It was nice to know you. Farewell.

I read that the Catalyst 5.13 bring ATI into serious territory for video picture quality. Welcome back Sol.

Viva fanless graphic cards! Too bad those always are at least a generation behind.

It's nice to know what people can buy on the other side of the Atlantic. Here the only thing I can think that ressemble this is the mini Mac. But it's a significantly step backward in term of processing power.

You know that air inhouse can be like five times more polluted than the air outside? It won't help you solve your breathing problems. Drink hot liquids and avoid milk products. Raw onions and oranges are good for you.

Global warming won't be that bad? We are in January and we are on the verge of having another hurricane (Zeta tropical storm has good chances to reach hurricane status). Global warming is quickly weakening the Golf Stream (Atlantic current bringing warm water to Europe) and EU countries have...

I still despise Rambus, but as much as I hate them, I have to admit that their XDR technology looks very impressive. A CPU with an integrated XDR memory controller would wipe asses.

And the fossil fuel in many EU countries is a lot cleaner than in most States (except California). The amount of sulfur particles in diesel is lower in places like Germany than it is in most States. I know that where I live, diesel will become to be cleaner next year, but right now, the law...

I only have admin powers on the front page, not in the forums. I cannot edit your posts. Thinking about it, I could do funny things if I had the right to edit even just your posts. I could do things like add a "P.S." note at the bottom of all your posts when you write about scuzzy, telling...

Already did, costs 880$CAN. I know the panel is a bit better, but 300$ for the additional inch is exagerated IMO.

But you still have to download those huge pictures, so while the images fit, the data amount you have to download remains huge.

But they are much better. What's the max size pictures that we should allow? I'm using 1680x1050, but I know most are more limited. I think 800x600 should be fine.

Where is that guy? I was looking for a cartoon like the one he uses for his avatar and then, when I searched his profile, I saw that he didn't visit in more than a year. Sad, he was appreciated.

Greg, when you have pictures THAT big, POST LINKS! People on dial-up will be pissed. MODS!

Not offered in Cacana yet and will be way too expensive when available. The 2001FP is just as expensive as the 2005FPW here and it's based on an older, slower panel. Not as interesting.

Thanks to you Bozo, everyone who visits this thread for next 100 posts will be greeted with a typo. How sweet. Don't worry, we all know that it's the intention which counts. ;-) What kind of CPUs will you add? 24x7 or day shift only?

Your document was written on October 10. Maybe Lumiled's leds where guaranteed until November and they are like video tape recorders that fail the day following the warranty. There's a lot of time to fail between October 10 and December 20 (when Mubs posted). Who knows :roll:

Zx, Before the end of the week, you'll be history :twistd: And will someone please post the 2000th reply to this thread. It's annoying me like you can't imagine. Write something inspired ; it's the largest thread of this forum so its milestones deserve something special. Even the Apology...

Customer wants new big shiny display. Me sees Dell selling the 2005FPW at 561.75$CAN and another online store selling the Samsung 204T at similar price (~5$ difference shipped). Me has the Dell and me very satisfied with the picture. Me knows that the Samsung packs even more pixels...

Regarding the thumbdrives, the Corsair Flash Voyager gets my vote. It's reasonably fast (for both reading and writing : USB drives that can write at decent speed are rare). It's cheaper than the other fast thumbdrives like the Sandisk Titanium, Kingston DataTraveler Elite, Verbatim Store'N Go...

I use quicktime alternative 1.67 to see movie trailers from Apple's web site and I have no problem. I can see HD 720p versions on my puny P4 2.66GHz. 1080p are too demanding though.

Fortunately, 2005 is over. Unfortunately, 2006 will probably be even worse. I still don't know how I'm going to make it through financially. Unfortunate also that past mistakes can't be thrown away with the obsolete calendar. At least I'm in good shape and I should stay healthy up to this...

I lost an entire day because of this tool. Someone else here mentioned that it sometimes screws up the network components. On the few installations I did on my home systems, it didn't, so I thought the warning was FUD. Wrong. I'll skip the details, but in the end, my original Win2K CD...

or something...like 561.75$. I saw it and it's a great deal. I paid mine 767$ in August.

82 meters. I should pass the 100 meters mark by summer.

And that's what I usually use too. I prefer + medias to - ones. The drives I've used (NEC, LG, Lite-On) like them better. minus medias are often written with higher error counts than plus medias.

Really? I guess I was dreaming when I saw that page then.

Well, Mark thought you would :roll:

Using Firefox 1.5 protected behind two firewalls : If I have vulnerabilities, this test didn't show them.

[looking at our daily production] So...we're giving up, aren't we? I mean, less than 9000 points per day won't get us anywhere. Pradeep was forced to slack down, Tea has stopped (probably for Aussy summer), Eric too. I seem to have pissed off Miksmi by not knowing who he was (which I'm sorry...

Ok, I remember Sinead O'Connor's controversy with the pope photo now. I knew who she was (WWNH : woman with no hair), but I forgot about the photo tearing incident. That thread was for fun. I don't like the pope, but I don't really care about what he is and what he does either. And you...
