I thought it was because the little hairy ball had her thumb stuck in her mouth.

I voted 'no'. IMO, news' reason to exist is to inform other members about interesting developments in the industry. For topics/posts worthy of being archived, the forum is the way to go. Not the front page.

I strongly suggest the GigaByte over the others. Recent GigaByte's motherboards, both for P4 and Athlon, have shown very high stability for the memory management. Better than other brands. You can run more memory sticks at agressive settings and high clock frequency on a GigaByte KT400 than...

And it's fixed in version 1.2. IE 6 SP1 with all the latest patches still has two holes, one of which allow to gain full access for a malicious hacker. Moz wins :P ;-) Kidding. I don't like holes in any piece of software. But IE's security, more than any other browser, is a real running...

Read the details. See if you are vulnerable. IE 6 SP1 is only affected by two of them, but IE 5.5 is like swiss cheese.

Their Travelstar 80GN (is it GN? Anyway, it's something N) features a record-breaking capacity for laptop hard drives. Among the good points, it has an 8MB buffer. On the bad side though, it's only a 4200rpm unit, not a more respectable 5400rpm. IBM also talked about their plan to launch new...

But there's another place where these informations are saved and cannot be deleted unless you format your partition. index.dat

I suppose the transfer occured during the week-end, did it?

So?

Thank you all for your input. I'm not yet ready to replace my Mandrake installation by FreeBSD, but I plan to try this OS in the next few weeks. Right now, I'm merely gathering information to foresee what I'm going to face when I'll make the move. An X-window environment is essential for me...

Found! It works.

I was wondering if KDE would run on FreeBSD and a quick Google research led me to this page. James certainly already knows about it, but just in case anyone else would like to try it, I thought it would be a good ressource. There's something about BSD I still haven't figured out : ports...

I still visit every now and then in the morning, but I rarely log in since I don't have much to say when I'm still barely awake (and always on a hurry to avoid being late at the job). Getting old? How about already be?

I mistook the Canon i320 for one of their older low-end models (so I voted for the HP). I haven't tried the i320, but I really like my S600. Canon's new printers drink considerably less ink than anything from HP. However, if you don't use your printer frequently, the ink will dry and screw...

First time I read that expression in English. It also exist in French, but I didn't know it was also used in English. Now back to the topic of this thread. If I ever make a trip in Australia and pass by Ballarat, just give me the address. It will be a pleasure. Free of charge, satisfaction...

I haven't read it yet, but it looks interesting and since this is a storage forum, I thought you might like it : http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-fs12/?t=gr,lnxw07=AFIG12 Sorry for being so brief, I'm barely awake.

Heuu....well, yes and no.I know I have the ISO for OpenBSD 3.1 here somewhere, but I haven't installed it yet. About the only things I know about OpenBSD is that it is probably the OS with the fewest security holes and that version 3.2 will be released on November 1st. Thanks for all the tips...

Just what I wanted. It's still at the same place in MDK 9.0 BTW. I passed my day looking for a way to install KDE 3.0.4, but failed so far. Since there's apparently no instructions on where I should save the many .rpm files needed to update KDE, I saved them in a /home/(my user name)/KDE304...

I never use aftershave. Just the blade and that's it. Aftershave is for whimps, true men don't use that. Anyway, for the frequency at which I shave...

Your network issue notwithstanding, the K7S5A is a far better value with the integrated LAN than without. Other faster boards sell for just a few bucks more than the no-LAN version, like the Shuttle you bought.

With Serious Sam, I don't see much more shimmering with the Omega than with the Detonator 41.03 I've just installed. So far, I've only tried Serious Sam. Something I noticed though is that there's more aliasing with the Omega than with Detonator. Not nigh and day difference though. The...

Does your K7S5A came with the optional onboard SiS900 LAN? I can't help you much with your addressing problem since I had none with the two exact same boards I have here and anyway, I don't connect to a DHCP server directly. About the DIMM that didn't work, you probably put it first in DIMM...

I read that installing Debian is much harder than installing one of the big three (Mandrake, RedHat, SuSe) since there's no GUI installer. What kind of issues might I have if I install Debian (or Libranet, dunno which one is simpler/works best) with just KDE/Gnome and a few desktop-related...

Asus V8200T2 (GeForce 3 Ti200). I know it's not the latest and greatest and that I don't benefit from all the features the newer GF 4 line has, but I can nonetheless see some differences from one driver set to another. Thanks for the link.

I saw this on Firingsquad. Apparently, NVIDIA has only made them available on their Quadro page, but they work for all their GF cards. I'll try them to see if they work and I'lll also try to see a difference between the 41.03 and my current Omega driver on Serious Sam, the most advanced game...

KDE 3.04 has been released earlier this month. It's available in RPM and SRPM format on kde.org. A RPM package is supposed to be "click-and-run" from what I read on the Net. Clicking on the farious .rpm I downloaded to upgrade my KDE version simply fails. When I double-click any of the many...

It is now a thing of the past with KDE 3. Fonts in Mandrake 9 look just as good, if not even more, than on Win2K. I haven't tried it, but since it partly uses KDE 3 too, I expect RedHat to look very good too. SuSe 8.1 is suppsed to be great, but it isn't available for free. Visit...

Thanks guys. Mercutio, Forget NewEgg. They refuse to allow large orders on some components. For instance, I couldn't order more than 5 Athlon XP 1600+ or 13 InWin J508 cases. Multiwave doesn't have this problem and the shipping on large quatities is reduced too. But I still cannot fit...

When I set my kb layout to EN, this combo doesn't work. Oh well, no big deal. It would just be useful when I want to make a quick post right after a new OS installation where I forget to modify the kb layout. My normal layout is French-Canadian (bunch of twits, they should name it Quebecer...

How did you do the é with your US English keyboard layout? Anyway, nice touch. How about : Unable to read CD-R and CD-RW? Buck is right about the PIII 450MHz and Athlon T'bird 700MHz. They would be fine if they would be on a decent motherboard and PSU. However, it's hard to find slot 1 and...

Yeah, I noticed too that my spelling in the quoted rant was awful, but I don't think I was in a mood to do a lot of proof-reading back when I wrote it. Even though I don't feel any option is appropriated, I'll vote anyway. Too curious about the results (don't count my vote for "all of the...

I have to ask you that someday guys but...what is FUD for? I know the meaning, but I just can't find the words that would match the F.U.D. letters. The ECS K7VTA3 is very stable, no headhache in view here. I never had to use a magic wand to make those I used to work. The latest BIOS...

I can't drop below 430U$ shipped to Indiana (from NewEgg.com). Maybe you should browse places like Ben's bargains to find a deal on hard drives or motherboards to lower your cost. I also tried with Multiwave's web site and came up with a total of 449.61U$, shipped to Indiana (using fake Zip...

I didn't think you were refering to THAT place. I remember they pissed me off, but I forgot it was because of a Deskstar order.

I have complained about PW several times, but I don't remember complaining about that. Another part of my posting career I have no memory from. None of the Deskstar I bought failed (I skipped the 75GXP). I didn't vote BTW. The option "none of the above" was missing. And I like Mark's sense...

I say no chance. Bill will try to buy out Kapor and if he fails, he'll hire the Washington's sniper to eliminate him. Billl is the Devil, never foget it.

4. 3 used for F@h. 1 is in exile and used by a relative. Win2K for 2 boxes. WinMe for the one in exile. Mandrake 9 for the last and older one.

You wrote you don't want motherboards with a lot of integrated features, but I hope you don't mind to have at least integrated audio. Recent Realtek ALC650 audio chips are more than enough for any classroom (and most home users too). I recommend Intel over 3Com for the NIC, as several 3Com LAN...

Clocker is off since yesterday :( We lose a big player.

Can anyone confirms this (Groltz quote)? I still haven't tried any games since I installed the Omega.

I think Buck likes them too. BTW, I don't like all SiS-based motherboards from ECS. Only the K7S5A. Not heard as many praises for some other models. Their K7S6Amight not be bad either, but since it's more expensive while not any faster (SiS745 chipset is a dog), I don't bother. I also tried...

I was about to ask why did the monkey not include Sauron among the candidates...

I stumbled on this while reading a light article on Firingsquad. Apparently, the Omega drivers give improved picture quality without sacrifying too much performances in the meanwhile. FS compared the Omega for NVIDIA cards and keeping in mind that they are based on the Detonator 30.82, you...

I bought a motherboard on e-Bay on September of last year that I thought to be an ECS K7S5A. The board I received was in fact a PC Chips M830L, which the seller assured me that it was an exact replica of the ECS K7S5A. Problem is : there was always an error at bootup about a bad CMOS size. I...

Fastest drive ever under Business WB 99. Impressive transfer rates (56MB/s beginning, 33MB/s end), but access time is poor. That's probably because of the very high platter density though. The bootup and high-end benchmarks are exceptional too for an ATA hard drive, but the web server result...

Only for the States :( I thought it was a downloadable version. I filled the form with fake info...and that's where they are going to ship it. So there's an Ekaf Ami from Ekaf Corporation on 652 Elm street, Griffith IN with a (total guess) 36054 Zip Code who will receive a free copy of...

Yeah, right. Then could you explain me how ECS would be battling with Asus for the #1 spot in board shipments if all what they would make was utter crap? Seriously, think about what you write. People wouldn't buy motherboards, no matter how cheap they would be, if they would fail more often...

Tony has weird results with his motherboards. First, no matter how hard you can claim it, the ECS K7S5A isn't utter crap. I don't know what was your problem with it, but the opinion of people around the Net doesn't match yours. In a survey by one of my main suppliers, more than 80% of buyers...

That's what I'm currently using. I prefered the way the bookmarks were managed in version 0.1 though. Now it takes more steps to create a new folder and move your links around. Drag and drop, with "add folder here" directly within the bookmarks' droping menus would be prefereable IMO...

James, The Pentium 4 2.4GHz with the 533MHz FSB is currently the best bang for the buck CPU from Intel if you don't want to overclock. If you do want to try the o'cing route, then try to get a 2.0A of a late revision with the 400MHz FSB frequency. The most recent Pentium 4 are good up to...
