EQ 20, SQ 56 Oh, great. I'll go right away to ask for an invalid pension so I can spend all my time in a straight chair, leaning the head, starring at a blank wall and drooling on my clothes.

1,2,3, laugh. No seriously, the memory bandwidth bench is quite useful. However, the drive bench is about as informative as Tony's seat-of-the-pants ranking ;-)

30. Didn't understand clearly question 18 (edgewise???). Not sure what "pretending" means either in questions like #50 (I hate playing with kids anyway). Question #35 is unfair. Tell me a joke in French and I won't be the last one to get it. Still, 30 is less than 32, so I'm not a freak...

They would be if they would ship for free here too.

I didn't follow much the progression (or regression) of Sun in the past few years, so that came to me as a complete surprise : Read the complete article or more bad financial news.

Now that's a little broad even by my standards. I would never go to work bare-chested since, besides maybe impressing the chicks (can't believe you call your women like this), it would more than likely humiliate my co-workers ;-)

Wow. Can't believe I agree with an Ontario guy ;-) Since rumors want that Samsung's latest hard drives are performing ok, they will be my only choice in the future along with the 8MB cache Hitachi drives. All the others can go to Hell as far as I'm concern. Now I only need to find a local...

Yes, why? Is there another name for that cloth? I'm not talking about a T-shirt (that's what I always wear). Just a thing with nasty evil buttons and useless protuberances around the neck, that's never fit around the belly so that people with a strong chest-to-waist ratio cannot wear it...

I ask because I almost never had to in my past jobs. I probably won't escape it in my next job though. I hate shirts. And I also hate to shave. Both combine, they give me a civilised look that I can't stand. I'm just touting my chances to escape the shirt wrath in the future. I wonder why...

Really? Strangely, I would be quite happy if my provider would do something similar. Guess it's another cultural change between Québécois and Americans ;-)

I did install everything. Yes, Anaconda and Drake are easy to get tru, but hélas, both latest distro of Red Hat and Mandrake didn't configure the integrated LAN of the MCP (nFarce2 motherboard) correctly and refused to use it as a network peripheral despite the fact that both detected it. I...

Took me four or five complete ISO downloads before I finally got a correct md5sum for the first Slackware 9.1 disc. Yet, I still end up with an error in Perl and one in Abiword during the installation. I don't give a shit, I don't use either anyway. Slackware refused to copy Lilo in the MBR...

Just like Lucas did with the Star Wars trilogy back in '97 IIRC.

I'm getting used to it. No hurry as far as I'm concerned. Invision would be ok if a) it's free and b) it doesn't eat up too much of your time. And... beloved ?

Hope this NetCell finds some customers to use it in their HBA. Otherwise, it will become another "would have been great if" product.

And I've just understood why so few people use BitTorrent. Although I surprised myself and have been able to go through most of the installation process (it's not that hard), the setup failed because many applications had fatal errors when the installer tried to put them on my hard disk drive...

Since apparently Eugene can't decide when to publish the review of the latest Hitachi despite that the results have been in the database for something like two weeks, here's what someone else had to say about the 7K250 : Yes, I know, not quite the best benchmarking tools have been used...

Enquirer?

Also, why is the automatic login checkbox at the bottom of the page is now so big?

I've only tried with Firebird and it does happen.

I just want to confirm the problem and yes, it's still happening. Doug, you probably don't see what's the problem because you are set to loggin automatically. Log out and go to the overall forum index as a guest. The forum width is too large. No idea what could have caused this.

More details here. Might worth investigating. Seems like a kind of RAMdrive to me.

I'm currently downloading the second installation ISO disc of Slackware 9.1 (knowing that I won't be able to install it - text mode installation sucks) through BitTorrent and I only get 1-2KiB/s download speed. Slackware, although far from being as popular as it once was, should still have a...

Not for Windows NT, Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003. Those aren't based on DOS like Win 9X used to be.

Poor guy, my sincere sympathies. You've just lost 50% of your value. Happens to the best. My thoughts are with you. ...And no more than two kids or Fushigi is gonna be really mad.

This thread no longer has any reason to remain sticky on top of this forum.

Forum has been horribly slow for me for the past few minutes.

They just got out of a long strike/lock-out last year and since then, the company uses subcontractors instead of hiring new employees. Levelling by the bottom for workers, that's the beauty of capitalism. More money to stock owners and less for workers. What a great concept isn't it?

What's the point of making a Celeri with more cache than a P4? 533MHz FSB or not, at 3.2GHz and with a lot of fast L2 cache, it would still be a very potent performer. The Celeron brand insures that it should be relatively affordable too. And with only 26W of thermal dissipation, it becomes a...

Since I'm looking for a job, I visit quite a few web sites from IT companies. I remember James works for C&B and I've heard the name a few times before so I went on their online portal...just to find out that they aren't present here :( They are in Cayman (probably their division where most of...

First thing I thought was that you might have some sort of corrosion on a solder inside your lappy and since Jerusalem is a very dry area, the contact wouldn't work as it does in Toronto, where air is a lot more humid. Just a thought. At least you won't have far to walk to mourn about your...

License for parenthood will never happen...too many people would fail the test. And like every recommendation that would make sense on a worldwide scale (like Kyoto for instance), USA would object for sure. The first guy who even thinks about touching my ass is a dead man. ...come to think of...

First off : I have no idea what a man-purse is or looks like. I know what a purse is, but a purse for man??? Maybe I'll have an idea next time I have to cross the Beaudry / Ste-Catherine corner in downtown Montréal (the gay quarter). Besides, I have no need for a purse, all my ...eh, "tools"...

I thought about posting it, but since even the Biafra in Africa must know that the Athlon 64 launch date was today, I figured it was hardly a news. Thanks for making up fo my laziness.

[Browsing the specifications...] Hmmm... 13/15ms rise+fall time (combined) 750/800:1 contrast ratio 300/350 cd/m² brightness 185° viewing angles [...] ...and 12499$ for the model I'd like to have. Credit card, even when empty, not big enough. Guess I'll pass. [run to the store to buy...

How about a smaller version of the Eye of Sauron?

Yeah but OS X still isn't very responsive even with 2GHz processors, which makes it 10 times worst than early Windows version. That's quite awful if you ask me.

Eh...that's the kind of misused terms I hope I won't make into a real conversation. Hey, at least I was close to the appropriate word, wasn't I?

Apparently, my comment about i's unproper url insertion was perceived as being a tad too rough by some. If my written style caused i to run to his room and jump on his bed to cry for a whole evening because it broke his heart, I'm sorry. I was only trying to point out a way to link another...

I think Merc knows how training works. IIRC, he was doing body building in his teen years to avoid being buggered (?spelling?) by punks at school.

You made a spelling mistake. It should have been iprmoatnt.

Congrats, you've just fµcked up the thread's width. Next time, please use something like : The rack I've been looking at is here.

It's called an ultra-portable laptop Merc. It's been manufactured for years.

And that's why no monitor with black color passes TCO'99 or TCO'03, only TCO'95. You'll often see monitors that are available in both black and grey/white/silver and the black one, which is absolutely identical to the paler model, never features more than TCO'95 compliance while the other one...

Anandtech has an article about the BTX form factor if you want more details about it. For quick boot times, you might be interested by the trimmed down OSes offered by LitePC. They claim boot times between 3 and 10 seconds. And more secure OS since less services are enabled/installed.

I much did you pay it? If you spent more than 129$, then maybe you would have been better off with a 160GB/8MB cache Samsung SP1614N instead. I'm eager to see how it fares in SR's benchmarks.

I filled the first page, but this is the message I got when clicking on "continue" : Guess there are no careers made for me :eekers:
