Since when am I supposed to have editing powers in the forums? On the front page, yes, but not in the forums. I'll try with my mind. Hhmmmmm......hhhmmmm....... :cyclopsani: Merc, Is it running hot or not? Could you use it on your legs (While you're sit, of course)? What about your...

http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor11/ Here, I told you there were still survivors. I assumed srurviviros meant survivors. Was I wrong?

There are survivors. Just wait until Thursday evening at CBS.

Wow, you've lost 55lbs since two years ago. Congrats. No more than an hour and a half, even with the 8 cells battery. And I had all the above specifications for a decent price, but you all booed me when I told you the brand.

Regarding the Thinkpads...Is the T43 so much better than anything else? I mean, there's a Z series with identical specifications that cost 100$ less. What has the fabulous T43 over the other Thinkpad series, other than hype? And there price difference between the Thinkpad and rest of the...

The cheapest Panasonic Toughbook I can get here is 3000$CAD. I'll pass. How's the screen on your new toy Merc? Is it running hot or is it reasonable (not the screen, the other half of the laptop, I mean)? That same laptop cost 1500$CAD here. That's the very top of my allowed budget.

I've taken a look at the Gateway's. ALL of them have 4200rpm drives. Disapointing. I've found Asus at several places, but most of the models offered are barebones. I presume I would have to buy the CPU/RAM/HD/OS, which makes the overall deal not very competitive with other brands. I agree...

I wouldn't have thought that cows made good computers. I'm no expert in laptops, but I thought HP's business-oriented notebooks (like the NX6110 I linked above) were tougher than their value models. Like Dell's Lattitude versus Inspiron for instance. Am I wrong? According to you, a vanilla...

I don't think I'm going to find something better than that : Hewlett Packard NX6110 Pentium M 730 512MB RAM 40GB HD 5400rpm DVD-RW 15" XGA display integrated graphics (it's meant for business...) modem WLAN WinXP Pro SP2 6.06lbs ~950$CAD (~800U$) Unless you folks had very bad experiences with...

I'm worried about Apple's products future compatibility with their platform shift to the dark side. I came across a link to some Acer laptops. They have a few that look good.

While I still don't own, or plan to own, a laptop, a couple of my friends would like to get a new one in the upcoming months. Mainly for office work, no great requirements. Not too bulky would be a bonus. 8-9 pounds is too much. I'm looking 7lbs or less. I quickly browsed throuh the...

I so much feel to be a better person after having viewed the above image...twice.

I'd like to see you try to do that here. It was -9C last night. Glad I put my winter tires yesterday's afternoon as there's around three inches of snow outdoor today...and snow will be falling for the rest of the day so it's not over.

Eric? I knew I would eventually find out who Lunarmist is.

It has been released a few days late. The following comment made me smile : Source

If you don't control that mental disease, soon you'll want to meat people.

In the short term, no matter what we'll do, we'll lose positions anyway because the two main teams in our ass are top 20 contenders (perhaps even top 15). If you exclude them, we are doing quite well. In six months, if all things remain the same, we'll get more positions than we'll lose...

I hope you told "son" that next time you get a call from his mom or him for a screwed up system and that you find that it's because he didn't follow your advices, you'll charge him for your time.

Look at the schedule and try to find FC5 test 1. Nowhere it is. It's the second time FC5 test 1 is delayed. It was originally supposed to be released on November 13th. This looks bad. Ugly. Almost Condoleeza Rice'd.

Then be very careful. This kind of job has a very short life expectancy. Every time there will be something wrong in your department, YOU're will be the first face they'll see. That's a bad assosciation if you plan to stay there for a while. As the ING guy would say : start saving your money.

Was it the guy who passed CAT5 not "E" into the ceiling?

I guess I'll never get it that Doug has a 3200+ rather than an X2 3800+.

I've very satisfied with my Dell 2005FPW. I don't know if it works in the southern hemisphere though.

May I suggest the following µATX cube (with an integrated 420W PSU) : Aspire Q-Xpack. There's a silver & black model too.

The GigaByte GA-K8N51GMF-9 looks like a very good board with integrated graphics. It's based on the GeForce 6100/430MCP chipset combo and it's inexpensive (~85$). The GeForce 6100 chipset from nVidia doesn't sacrifice on performances, contrarily on most other chipsets with integrated graphics...

Bugging At Home?

I hate XP too. I'm still on Win2K, but Microsoft has already started to limit the updates on it. I would go with Server 2003 if I no longer had extra Win2K licenses. I tried it when it was still in beta and I liked it better than WinXP. Going to Linux will ask you a lot of time to learn how...

Jake's back. And ZX has decided that he won't let himself be passed like a stop sign by me and Handruin.

127$. And it's based on the older Tornado model, not the same design as the newer S12-500/600. I'm willing to take my chances with the Antec Neo instead. It's 30$ cheaper for the same wattage rating. My motherboard is an Asus P5P800.

76% to 79% efficiency isn't that bad. Better than average I guess. And it has an excellent PFC (I'm a green man), so overall it looks good.

I don't know what's Friendster. Nevermind.

A novelty : Antec NeoHE series. Advertized efficiency up to 85%. Price (114$CDN for the 500W model, 97$ for the 430W) in the same league as the Fortron AX500. No light iside. I'm tempted.

I'm thinking about buying an extra PSU, in case this one makes a smoke show. I'm not willing to spend 165$CDN for a Seasonic S12-500 just for a modest system (Low frequency P4, 512MB RAM, 2 HDs, one DVD burner, low power graphic card). Most local stores sale Antec PSUs, but even their...

RMA it, save your money.

Well it's lucky for Pamela that her breast doesn't smell as bad as my PSU did. I restarted the system after giving it a little pause. I increased the speed of the exhaut fan (120mm, below the PSU) so less hot air will go through the power supply. I don't know if it's going to work. My system...

Really. Like a strong odor of...you know when you first get a card out of its anti-static bag? I guess it's an odor of silicon. It just started minutes ago. The temperature probe shows nothing special, the temperature hasn't changed in a while. I guess it might be the power supply. My FAH...

I've seen bluetooth USB sticks. Never tried, but I think it's the cheapest way to achieve bluetooth communication with a PC.

I thought you guys went to bars to meet people, not to make meat of people. You're more violent than I thought.

Have you tried Thunderbird? I've used Eudora many years ago and I admit I liked it. Do you know about any significant changes/improvements in version 7? Is there anything that should prompt me to switch from Thunderbird if I simply need to retrieve a few e-mails from a single POP3 account?

I knew that the kitty wouldn't resist to reply to this thread. I almost restrained myself from replying to Merc because I knew my answer would look piss poor compared to the detailed reply JTR would subsequently post. I feel I helped a little anyway. I gave the conclusion while JTR threw...

Seasonic S12-500 and S12-600 are sent by angels. The Enermax aren't bad, but they aren't in the same league. They probably cost a lot less though.

Don't you think you already have a large enough posts count? ;-)

PFC stands for power factor correction. Also, multiple 12V rails is good because it isolates each line, so there's less ripple on the current of each line. When a device draws juice from any given electric line, it creates a distortion. The more devices sucking current, the worst it gets...

Thanks. It looks like a teen/girl chit/chat service. Not my kind of stuff. I find forums more convenient. I'm a poor "live" communicator. My old brain needs time to convert the stuff I think into words. Real-time translation was only at the experimental level in my generation.

You broke your big toe instead of the small toe this time? Hang on, you're still better than you would be in other parts of the world.

50% faster switching. Got it from the link.

50% what? 50% more efficient?

Not I'm awared of.

I received an invite to join this network from someone I believe is a visitor of SF. Now, I don't want to turn off members of my fan club (;)), but I'm quite unsafe with social-type networks. I'd like to know if this Hi5 thingie is a spyware spreading network or if other folks here use it...

I wasn't sure if I should have just pm Tony about this, but in case anyone else still has an interest in OS/2, here's the link.
