How would it cost to ship a copy here? If you're whiling to separate yourself from one of those, of course.

So? Are all you speed and capacity freaks happy with this announcement? Personally, I hope they will develop a newer firmware closer to the second one SR reviewed with the 36GB Raptor. Another interesting bit in the original news... W.D. seemed to like IBM's power-on rating. News Source

I need to get a refresh on OS/2 because I might have to use it at work soon and I don't want to look like a noob. Last time I used it was 1996 IIRC. It would be great if I could have a kind of evaluation copy à la Windows .Net Server 2003 beta builds fom earlier this year. Last time I...

At 2.2GHz, the Opteron (and Athlon 64 FX-51) should give Intel's Pentium 4 3.2GHz a run for its money. I'm still waiting for reports of the Athlon 64/Opteron's performances for Folding@home. I've eeen SETI@home benchmarks, but the Alien-oriented client is very different from the F@h one. A...

Perfect car for me. I'll have to find a way to wait until next year.

Intel launched a µATX motherboard for its acclaimed Pentium M CPU. Great news IMO, as this is currently one of the most interesting processor on the market. The memory isn't fast though, but still. For a nice low noise/low power office box, this one should be quite competitve. See the...

It would appear so! Finder's credit goes to forum member 'jamespetts'. In January this year, IBM made available a firmware fix for their infamous "Deathstar" (Deskstar 75GXP and 60GXP) series of hard drives that supposedly significantly enhances the reliability of these drives by moving the...

I nominate the bartender...Buck's drunk too often. Jake's other mentions also are worth noting.

Hey! Listen, I DO NOT SUFFER FROM A MENTAL ILLNESS. Now stop looking at me or I'll rip your head off.

For MSBlaster and variants, try McAfee's Stinger. Free, simple and effective.

I probably have a thick accent. What's your problem? Do you think all the places I phone are deprived from cs people with a strong whatever-but-French accent and answering calls for French-speaking customers? I don't mind the accent, as long as the person on the other end of the line shows...

Read the announcement here. It is mostly a bug-fixes release.

Same here.

A Corolla 2004, for instance, would cost me around 60$/month more than the Cavalier and I haven't seen any 0.9% promotion around here for the buyout option. Besides, I don't think I'll buy something before at least November or December.

My current car seems to have been a mistake. While it's not really old, many parts break and I'm starting to be fed up (don't ask, I don't tell what I'm driving now). Sooner or later, knowing myself, I know it will end up in a parking lot at the early morning hours and taste my sledgehammer...

Thanks Bill. Have you officially moved to Nero 6 or are you just using the evaluation version?

Firebird shuts down when I try to visit Green's link.

Just read the BX support for 120GB HDD thread in the Tech Support forum ... you lucky bastard. I (we) want Winbench Disk transfer rates.

Not read / remember the whole thread...is this the new Samsung 120GB with 80GB platters and an 8MB buffer?

I was writting my eBay ads for the Maxtor 10K III and Seagate X15-36LP minutes ago when I remembered that I forgot to format them before removing them from my former SCSI box. ...I sold the SCSI HBA two weeks ago. Although it wasn't my main box, I'm not sure what kind of personal info I left...

This link crashes my MozillaFirebird browser.

Yeah, I've been able to look at it soon after my previous post. I still have intermittent problems trying to visit several web sites.

ExOC has been dead for me for the last two days.

...And currently, the led on my router for incoming traffic is blinking like crazy. There's something VERY wrong on the Net these days. Don't know if it's related to the SoBig.F worm or something, but it's weird.

Not your fault. I experienced a lot of problems trying to access many other web sites last night too. It might have been a wider problem than just something related to your provider.

Especially when he's wearing The Giver's wrap. Congrats Bill. I'll drink a Molson for the occasion.

I never get tired of reading/hearing that 8) As CityK wrote, it depends on the things you plan to do with your LCD. If your a freaking FPS gamer, then your choice should be limited to the few models with a response time of 16ms. However, many of the 25ms response time models are also very...

Apparently, people aren't fed up ith Microsoft's bugs yet, so they put a lot of pressure on MSFT to reconsider and Gate's monster decided that Outlook Express will continue to live and remain hacker's favorite running gag :

Are you Swede?

I'm not canadian, why should I fell concerned?

First sample of the Lovsan worm was received at 19:22 GMT on 11th of August, 2003. This 6176 byte executable "msblast.exe" contains about 11kB of uncompressed code, which apparently exploits the MS03-026 DCOM/RPC hole. The vulnerability : Lovsan exploits a vulnerability, "Buffer Overrun...

The drive is used (two years), but it has served inside a box that's been idle almost all the time (crunching F@h for the last year and a half). It was sitting in the only of my boxes I didn't brutalize, for those who care. It is in perfect working condition and it has passed all Maxblast...

???? What happened? Windows Update sent a screwed exec that shut down Remote Procedure Call or what? I never use Auto update and I disable it on every machine I sell, so I don't know.

IIRC, Gary uses the Supermicro P4SDA+ at work. It isn't not a board having the features you are looking for and its chipset dates a little (it's based on the i845). I don't recall having used Supermicro motherboards, but the Tyan I have tried impressed me by their stability.

The drive was tested both inside a notebook and in a USB2 enclosure. It shows performances that are on par with those of desktop drives about three years ago. So it would be enough for a low-end SOHO box. I can't wait to see 2.5" drives inside desktop computers. News Source

Yeehoo, SOLD! I thought it wouldn't make the reserve price, but it did. First sell ever via eBay. There are quite a few fees here and there and their total amount (I have to pay for currency convertion) is, well, not negligible. When all things have been considered, my 101.50$ auction...

Both Continuum and PeterB are well beyond 25000 in their posts count. ...Just checked and PeterB now has more than 29000. Poor guy is mad.

I was, but at early morning hours, I'm not in the mood for googling about unknown pieces of software. Thanks for the link.

Steve : Thanks...but just for the extra work, they are bastards anyway. Blake : Alcohol? I'm not talking about a lost girlfriend, I'm talking about a lost update file. Drugs are not the solution...

Folks at Ahead.de, makers of Nero, no longer offer the latest (or any other) version (5.5.10.42) of Nero 5.5 on their web site. So people like myself, who own a legal copy of Nero 5.5, are left unable to update their software, unless paying for the upgrade to version 6. Those SOBs are a bunch...

Greg high-jacking his own thread...

I reached 11x 200MHz FSB on the second system, at 1.6V on the CPU, but wasn't able to get up to 11.5x 200MHz FSB (which would have given me a CPU @ 2.3GHz). I remember having read that Athlon XP, no matter if they are based on the T-bred or Barton core, can usually climb higher in the CPU...

All those "keep arguing even when you've been proven wrong beyond the shadow of a doubt" points makes me wonder if you borrowed the book from PW.

I must also be a soothsayer. I did plug the P_SW connector one pin off. That's the problem when you're too talented : life's boring, you already know the outcome. ;-) Now let's see how far I can oc this one. Hope he'll fare better than its twin brother. Clocker, my poor friend, as far as...

So far, I've only been able to hit 2.2GHz with a small voltage bump of 1.625V to the CPU with one of them. The other system doesn't even power up (not even the fans are spinning, zip, nil, rip, caput). I must have plugged the power switch wire one pin off or some stupidity like this. I...

And here is the news source. I originally saw it on OS News. Imagine how the original MS version of Windows 95 is bloated if the OS can be trimmed down to under 5MB. UPDATE : the link to the original site no longer works. :(

I know. I posted that yeesterday at around 2am and I decided that I was too tired to make both the news and the thread. I'll make a thread now, just for you :) BTW, nothing forbids you to make a thread about a news post when there's none. Me and Doug won't sue other members for copyrights...

Shut down any SETI@home / Folding@home / distributed compting program and re-reun ATTO. I know FAH lowers the transfer rate for small files significantly under ATTO.

Thanks for the precision, we would have had a hard time guessing :roll:
