Whatever. In French, it's written "capout" and it's pronounced just the same. I have yet to try the MX310, but like Timwhit, I'm a happy owner of MX300. I like it so much that I still haven't opened it.

Specs say MVA is used for the screen. Me says MVA = crap for all those I've seen. Me would be surprised if this MVA better than other crappy MVA-based screens.

If they are like Logitech (been a while since I've owned a MS mouse), there's a single screw on the bottom of the mouse. In my experience though, when your buttons are doing free games, the mouse is capout. There's no way to fix a stuck button. I've opened up every mice I've owned, but none...

And that the Dell 2001FP is made by BenQ.

Interesting but surprising to me. While the SATA interface by itself should be quite appealing for the server market and other serious storage needs, all the drives that are currently using that standard are optimised for desktop use, not server-like accesses. This fact relegates the SATA...

And it's not all... Big Blue brother backs them up. Maybe Novell won't sink into oblivion like many predicted several times it would. News source

Well, if you don't have the choice...why ask? I didn't know it served what, so that's why I suggested Samba. We also use SQL in my company, but the programmer prefers to use MySQL rather than SQL Server. Cheaper and does all we need to do. Sorry to hear your situation isn't as flexible. You...

If you know how to use it... (read)

I'm sceptical about the specifications Buck posted. Looks more like those of the older 2000FP model than the one I would associate with the 2001FP. BTW, while 400:1 contrast ratio is relatively low compared to what other manufacturers claim, be aware that most LCD miss their claimed contrast...

I would try to plug/unplug the camera, boot with the camera plugged, erase the driver and then re-install it with the original flash card in, etc. Sometimes, there are simply no rational solution, you just have to try and try and try. And if unsuccessful, you also have to try to forget about...

It will be hard to format if the computer doesn't even recognize the card.

Maybe e-Dawg and CityK can answer your question. As for Québécois, no we can't have it here. Only for U.S home & office customers I believe.

I think they should follow marketing classes. At least they are honest. It won't make them rich, but they are honest.

Just like if we didn't have enough @$$ holes in freedom on this planet, Gator has joined SCO and the RIAA in the happy suing party. Their reason : they want (honest) people to stop calling their softwares "spyware". Well, given what the POS softwares they spread online do, I wonder how they...

At least the shipping is ridiculously cheap.

OSNews has a short review of the new version of Napster.

You can read the changelog. Personally, I'm more interested by the developments on the 5.x branch at this point, but for those who don't feel too adventurous, the old 4.x might be more appropriate.

In contrast with the results posted in an article at Firingsquad, Lost Circuits found out that the performance penalty assosciated with larger-than-1GB of memory isn't as significant as previously reported. The problem seems to lie with Photoshop more than anything else.

I've only been able to make them work under IE, not Firebird. The plugins don't seem to be mature for gecko-based browsers. Still, they are better than the originals.

I do. I would like to see a power-efficient CPU be so powerful that it would become a competitive solution even for desktops. I'm tired of the insane power requirements of moderns and soon-to-come (Prescott) processors. Why eat 70W, or even close to 100W in case of Intel's flagship P4, if a...

Great if true, but I have strong reserves. Transmeta's past CPU was far, FAR, from being even close to par with Intel's offerings. Could Transmeta improved that much the performances of their chip within a single generation? Doubtful.

Yet another way to toast your board. News source

Re: Mirror 1 Greg spreading FUD again... ATA drives are only low-reliability when you have a temper like mine. Otherwise, just sitting inside a computer box that's almost never moved, they'll last just as long as SCSI drives. The classical 75GXP story will of course pop up once again here...

Not necessarily SteveC. If the router isn't configured to block some ports, those ports will still be accessible on computers behind the router. I never paid attention to the configuration of my router and I remember that about a year ago, computers behind it where still vulnerable according...

Oups, sorry SteveC. I read the same news not long ago and I posted a thread about it. I didn't see your post or I would have giving you the credit for it.

Now I know why one of my LG 52x reader died about a month ago when I tried to install the first beta of Mandrake 9.2 :( News source

You let your 12 years old kids drive cars? You 'ricans are crazy.

Hmm... I installed Sygate's firewall and retest my system using Shields Up! Same result as ZoneAlarm. I then became a bit suspicious. I shut down Sygate and tried Shields Up! with no firewall launched. Same result. Guess I shut down so many services on this Windows box that having a...

I tested the security of my local computers' internet connections this morning, using the Shields Up! web site. Recent Red Hat distributions have included a firewall that's installed by default. Most software firewalls aren't fully effective. They are better than having none, but rarely...

Even on a 2400+ Athlon XP. It's been going for an hour and I have no idea how much is left to go. All that for a package I won't use that much, or at least that I could have very well lived with the previous version (I'm installing the source rpm of GCC3.3.2 to upgrade my current 3.2.3). It...

Adobe Acrobat Reader 6 is a step down version 5.1 in my humble opinion. It loads slower and seems like an overall pain in the ass.

Try Fedora Core guys. First official release is scheduled for November 13th, but so far, their Test 3 release has been the best distro I've installed. Fedora is Red Hat, but with all the latest packages, even more bleeding edge than Mandrake and Gentoo. Red Hat, if what I read is correct, is...

Re: Mercutio... If you read Merc's posts on the second page of this thread, you'll see that that he strongly believe he is. In fact, I think that he would be quite pissed if a "specialist" would tell him he's not. I don't know the man personally so I may be wrong with this, but the way I see...

Drake is Mandrake's strong point IMO, so I'm not surprised to read that configuring your hardware was a breeze. Last time I tried Opera on Linux wasn't a good experience, but I think it was back in the Opera 6.x days so things can have changed now that 7.x is here. I also tried Mandrake 8.0...

Thinking about it, it would be a lot better if it would be offered on the PCI-X interface rather than on the typical 32bit/33MHz PCI slot. Otherwise, it will choke.

In fact, according to the current Top500 supercomputers list, it would rank 135th. Awesome for a 25,000$ box. Anyone wants to make a generous effort to help our Folding@home team? I know someone talked about ClearSpeed not long ago in the forum, so that's not really new. But the...

Who's that? Greg Santilli maybe? The only Gary I know is Mr. Hendershot (which the bartender forgot to mention...).

That doesn't sound like an opinion. The hidden meaning of the above was, IMO, that you wanted to show what happened in your accident to prove that you were safer in your SUV than you would have been in a car. I simply argue that it isn't true, at least according to me and to the facts I've...

Ok, so scratch weight alone as the guilty factor. However, in most tests I saw, the average SUV trailed the average car in braking distance by 3 to 5 meters. And that's when measuring modern vehicules. Older SUVs had worst road handling than their modern decendants. Is it a question of the...

IMO, you proved the opposite. The weight of your vehicule almost certainly caused the accident. Would you have driven a car, you would have been able to stop in time or at least more than you did and therefore caused less damages to the Jag. Bottom line : your SUV was overall more dangerous...

Clocker, Peewee is PW, not you. I'm disapointed that you leave, but I'm not bitter. Oh and I too believe our rapport is better than that. Feel free to come back anytime.

A very nice idea indeed. I'm typing from Fedora Test 3 on the system with the nForce2 chipset right now. Most of the things work, although I've stumbled on an annoying bug since I used Up2date (RedHat updating application). Although Test3 is only about a week old, Up2date found at least 30...

Ah, I see...you're married.

A nice utility for people who, like me, have no burner to send their ISO files to CD medias and need other alternatives to boot into their OS installation. Useful to copy the bootdisk.img of some Linux distros to floppies. RawWrite
