In any case Jake (Tim, whatever), the situation is pathetic. You probably couldn't watch the speech from chieftain Bush, but during the question period, it was obvious that most journalists, by the questions they placed towards Bush, didn't agree with his almost unilateral offensive against...

In English. Translations get on my nerves.

What an sore liar this guy is. I sit, more than half an hour, in from of my TV, listening to his garbage and he makes me sick. He doesn't answer any question about why so many foreign governments disagree with him, he just re-ass the same gabage all the time. He's clearly lying on all the...

Maybe that, like the guy in the article, at the time, it would have seemed like the right thing to do?

But...storage IS our lives. What title hairy Aussie, me and Merc are supposed to (or will soon) have?

Computer trophy. I understand that man like few can. The only reason mines haven't shared the same faith is because I don't have a gun.

Dell's WUXGA display : by mads, for mads.

As seen on /. The news Inspiron 8500 will have, as an option, a freaking 1920x1200 15.4" screen Can you imagine how microscopic text will be on this thing? The pixel pitch will be 0.172 mm, smaller than the one from their UXGA 14" display. Mad, I tell you. Utterly mad. Len's Crafters must...

No.

X-bit Laboratories has more details about the soon-to-come KT400A chipset from VIA. It will feature a new south bridge (VT8237, with among many goodies, 4 Serial ATA-150 ports) as well as a supposedly better single channel memory controller that should put it on par with a dual-channel nForce2...

Thanks for the explanation. I'll keep their host file.

I finally installed Kazaalite on one of my test machines and I'm curious about what's wrong with the (huge) host file they want us to put instead of our usual pretty slim one. So far, it hasn't made .Nut Server 2003 any less stable than it was previously to the replacement of the host file and...

Welcome back i.

An early alpha version of Longhorn was leaked earlier this week, so that's why there is so much talk about it these days. The new file system is rumored to be called WinFS. I don't know much about it. I read that there isn't supposed to appear any server version of Longhorn before 2005 or...

I haven't notice such thing. I'm not always montoring my machies, so it's possible it happened without getting my attention.

Radeon 7000 is an old design, based on an older GPU. Same generation than many GeFarce 3 in fact. Besides, there are still some GF3-based cards sold as new. And there are also many GF2MX still sold in modern systems, so IMO, the comparison still stands as valid. Comparing the 2D clarity of a...

Winbond, I forgot Winbond. Many highly overclockable modules use Winbond chips. So if you see Winbond on your chips, don't flee while screaming. April is supposed to bring a 10-15% price drop for memory modules too, if you are willing to wait that long.

My X15-36LP is suddenly starting to feel sluggish... Very impressive results. Seems like the fastest workstation drive ever, although it concede the first place for server tasks to the 15K.3 by a hair. Transfer rates are also more than respectable and hint that the new Atlas might use...

:cursin: It still does it! I need to kill somebody! :bibber:

Already upgraded. Not tried the F@h client so far. However, I confirm that XFree86 4.3 is used...as well as the final version of Mozilla 1.3. At least that's what is written in the package installation and when I list the "About Mozilla" within the browser. 1.3...no b after the 3. The...

Tea, Law and justice are two VERY different things. I always try to be just, but I don't give a damn about the law. When the law doesn't agree with my sense of justice, it just has to explain itself with my biceps. The court decision was probably right according to the law, but it also...

Most mirrors only have the first CD available though (there are three CD overall). So far, I've only found this one to host all three CD ISOs. Mandrake wrote that they froze the list of new features after RC1, but I hope they made an exception for Xfree86 4.3.

Although the (tiny) letters aren't very clear in the pictures I sent to Doug, I hope it is enough to understand the principle. One last thing Doug. Crucial has gotten aboard the DDR train much later than several other memory manufaturers, so while their SDRAM modules were very above the field...

I want to double the above : that Asus drive IS noisy as hell. Get a Samsung, a Lite-On or an AOpen. Even a Mitsumi 54x is better. There're two ways I know to differente the two Thoroughbred flavors. The first is by the CPU ID, once the CPU is plugged in. CPU ID 680 is T'bred A while 681 is...

Sorry, can't do better. Haven't seen any mainboard with good overclocking potential at less than 75$, without integrated graphics. No O'cing for a sub-200$ rig I guess.

For the cheapo box : DDR SDRAM is now cheaper than SDRAM. The Asus A7N266-VM is a good board. E-Dawg can confirm, as well as a few of my customers...if they would be able to write English. Even if it's dearer, get a T'bred B and the Speeze cooler Mercutio is so in love with. Then o'c the...

Wow, a rare opportunity to nitpick on Merc! :mrgrn: The Western Digital Expert was (is) a 7200rpm IDE drive, while the one you're thinking about (Western Digital's SCSI drive) was named the Enterprise. In fact, the Enterprise is more the name of Western Digital SCSI lineup for capacities...

And you can download it from here. I haven't notice much difference from 1.3 to 1.4.1. In fact, I don't notice Java much at all on my systems. But hey, better Sun's Java than Microsoft JVM, hein? Java is a language I should learn. Even if it would be just for the kicks.

Fubared your link is. Learn to master the preview button you must.

No I didn't. Thanks for remindering me to do it. I forgot about it and wondered why my ATTO results didn't improve under .Nut versus Win2K.

Got it. The Enterprise Edition, RC2, build 3718, with product key MRD..-...Heermmm, you get the idea. Installed it without much trouble on my bastard box (2 64bit PCI cards on a PCChips motherboard and an ATI Charger 4Mo graphic card). A few comments : I could not upgrade my Win2000 Pro...

I would have prefer my identity if the quiz had been based on episode 4, 5 & 6...

All the places where I saw it listed it as back ordered. No one seems to know when it will be available either. I guess you are out of luck for this one. Sorry, cannot help you much here.

Common knowledge? PCChips is obvious, Houston I know, but Jetway, nada. If they would be part of ECS, then why would they post their sales results separately? Same goes for Acorp, that has been assosciated to ECS by one of our very wordy prominent member (hint : not Mercutio). If those two...

SD-11. I upgraded a system that had that motherboard three weeks ago. Nice board, albeit a bit too large to my taste. It's strange how manufacturers seem to selectively ship their bad products in a certain region of Australia while I almost always get stuff that just work, no matter what's...

Weeks? How about months?

time, You should try to grab a cheap OEM version of the ATI Radeon 7500 64MB DDR (not the 7500LE, which is SDR). Here I can get one for 89$CDN, which means that you should be able to get it for ~100-110AU$. At that price, I'm sure it should give pretty competitive scores in 3DMarks against...

From IBM press release : And as written by Hannibal at Ars Technica : Armed with such a beast, I would be a lot more tempted to try a Mac and their OS-X operating system than ever before. How well do you think this thing would fare at F@h? However, knowing the ripoff prices that Apple...

As reported by Digitimes, AMD finished year 2002 with a small increase (+2.7% in 4Q) of its market share, mostly at the expense of Intel (-2.4% for the same period). For the entire year though, Intel gained 3.6 points to end up at 82.5% of the sales, while AMD lost 4.3% for an overall 16.3% of...

Download it. No idea what more it has over 7.01. So far, only English and Japanese languages are available. Many more translations are coming in the upcoming weeks.

The performance difference between the KT400 and the nForce2 isn't at default 133MHz FSB (where they are both relatively equal), it's at 166MHz FSB. The nForce2 with its memory slots populated correctly, is ~5-10% faster than the KT400 at this FSB frequency, which is starting to be pretty...

Don't wait for the KT400A. It won't be much faster than the KT400, just more reliable with PC3200 memory. It probably won't be as fast as the SiS746FX either. Motherboard manufacturers say that it will feature a south bridge with a few more goodies, but that's about it. All in all, it will...

Seen on OCWorkbench : I'm sure you are all very excited after having read this. nForce 2 and SiS746FX are more interesting IMO.

No matter how much it affects you, suicide isn't a solution. Get over it and someday, you'll see the light at the end of the tunnel and forget about that dear little fan. Your heart will know happiness again. We are with you. My sympathies. Me neither, just an electronic technician. Many...

The EPoX doesn't have any fan on the north bridge, just a relatively big passive heatsink. According to many, this passive heatsink is what's holding back the board when trying to reach very high FSB frequencies. Nonetheless, it generally clocks higher than most other boards based on the...

IIRC, ext2 isn't a journalized file system, while ext3, ReiserFS and XFS (the one from SGI) are. I would also be interested to know about a tool to defrag under Linux, since I know none.

Nope, never tried. I will next time I have a DivX to see.
