I haven't visited this thread during the last few days, but it's a good thing I came back to take a glimpse. Like I wrote before, I didn't have any virii on my system for the last two or three years (at least, maybe more), so these nasty programs weren't much of a concern. I usually update my...

I'm not sure about the Barracuda V, but the IBM 180GXP's maximal capacity is supposed tobe 180GB, not 200GB. No idea why you saw 200GB hard drive from those manufacturers. AFAIK, only Maxtor MaxLine Plus II and Western Digital WD2000BB & JB will feature 200GB capacities (for 7200rpm HDD, of...

Nope. Netscape 7.0 is based on Mozilla 1.0.1, which is slower than Moz 1.1 (I haven't tried 1.2a because I avoid alpha versions). That's because Netscape used the profile you created previously with Mozilla. Next time, use two different profiles and your Netscape installation won't corrupt...

There's no magic there Time. Ask Tony how I stole him the 10000th post of this forum and you'll see that you can do a lot better than three posts under two minutes (how about, three posts in under three seconds?).

According to who? Except maybe for hopeless fish fanatics. The drive to beat, yeah right. 1 year warranty, slower than competition (of the same gen), ungrier on current and probably more expensive too if the past is warrant of the future. It won't necessarily be a bad drive, but the one to...

I think Buck was looking for something a bit more user-friendly, Merc.

I've been using Eudora for almost two years now, with very few problems. What's NOD32? I know NAV (beurk), but not NOD32.

:diablo: Hey, wait a minute. It means that our global team production willl decrease. Oh, then it's sad.

I hate to lose a fight, I just can't help it ;-)

:nono: Aren't we supposed to recruit people for F@h here? Promote other @home projects in another thread.

This week, Dell offers free shipping, free memory upgrade and free hard drive upgrade to its canadian customers. For one of the few times, the deal here is even better than the one offered in the States since Dell doesn't force to buy MS Office SBE or above for its UltraSharp UXGA screen here...

Just in case there was a grain of seriosity in this comment, that's not what I meant. The current mods are doing a fine job and I have no problem with the American members of this board (anyway, we won't get rid of you so better get used to it ;-)...oops! Doug is American too :o ). I simply...

The 45GB model was a 75GXP. No surprise there. The 120GXP isn't nearly as bad.

The fjor of B.C. are supposed to be a nice place to visit. I don't think you plan to go that far North, but a trip to see the killer whales should be quite an experience to live too. And of course, there's Banf Park, but I don't think it's very close from Vancouver though.

The coldest temperature I've been through was -53C for a two hours jugging session with a 25lbs bag on my shoulders. It was more than a decade ago. I'm now even more resistant to cold than I was back then (and no, I'm not training for it), so I figure I could survive an afternoon at -60C with...

I nominate Jake. We need someone reliable and I would prefer someone outside US this time, since all our past moderators have been from there and this is supposed to be an international forum (Tony had access to the moderation forum, but he wasn't a mod). Jake has shown in the past that he has...

Nope, not even close. BRaiLleSPEAK, essentially, a Linux distro with speech recognition and support for braille language. You can see their logo on Linux ISO.org

Now tell me that the same cannot be applied to Windows. On Windows, it's even worst, "everybody and their half-brother who knows some [VB code] writes code for it, ... And between you and I, programming in VB needs far less skills than programming in C (note that I didn't write "programming...

Source : E-Week. Updading your softwares is of capital importance. 6 weeks later the vulnerabitilty was identified AND patches were released, the worm still had plenty of vulnerable systems to infect. I feel no sympathy for the victims. Would they have done their job, they wouldn't have been...

I would have thought that AgentOrange would have been in reference to your glasses...

Besides, you should have answered that it was 150U$, the price of the only decent OS on which it comes. Because IE, contrarily to what most people seems to believe, isn't free at all.

Why do you say you're Tony? You're not Tony your imposter little fur ball, you're Tea. Ah, these monkeys... I had hoped that Tannin would have teached you better.

This project would have been far more successful in the time of Win95 and Win98 not SE. Oh well, I guess MS good friends HP, Compaq, Packard Bell and cie can help them to generate additional advertisement revenues.

Having five Gary is ok, but one P.W. is just enough, thanks.

e-dawg, The only two ways not to reboot a computer using Win2K from the installation is to either not install the update packages (DX8.1b, SP3, IE6 SP1, etc) or to make a customized installation CD with all the current updates installed by default. Not installing the updates just for the sake...

AMSN, a kind of MSN Messenger for Linux, always crashes under Mandrake 9.0. It doesn't hand my desktop, but I have to re-log to get rid of the useless window it leaves behind when crashing.I know other people use it without problem on other distros. Galeon also crashes every now and then (4...

RedHat 8.0 is out. But RedHat's website is dog slow for me right now.

Does -U mean to overwrite older files? Anyway, thanks. I'll try it. Which version of Galeon are you using and what package did you download? Would it be better to download the source code and re-compile it using GCC3.2 (if yes, how the hell do I do that? ...another Google search) or getting...

I downloaded the rpm package of the latest version (1.2.6) of Galeon. Like I did before to install the J2RE 1.4.1 rpm, I typed : chmod a+x galeon......rpm rpm -iv galeon.....rpm Where ..... is the string of caracters specific to that version. Problem is : when I try to launch the rpm...

UT2003 is supposed to be available for Linux. Maybe Adcadet could give you an idea of the frame rates to expect under Linux when running the demo?

Another great thing with MDK 9 compared to RedHat 7.3 : it doesn't slow down after a while. Back when I had RH 7.3, the more programs I opened and closed, the sluggier my desktop became. No idea why. It's just like if RH didn't cleared it's memory after I exited applications. F@h crunching...

Me too, but with what they've been through, I really can't blame them ;-)

We should create a "reviews" section in the forum that would serve as a reference for other members. I'm tempted by the mouse. Since mice are the peripherals I use the most after the monitor (more than the keyboard), it seems like a wise investment. For now, I'm pretty happy with my 2...

EveryBuddy : AIM, IRC, ICQ, Jabber, Yahoo...no MSN Messenger, the only one I use. Oh well, can't have everything.

:-? Trillian isn't available for Linux. Too bad I can't access my Messenger contacts on my Linux box. It's currently one of the very few things I cannot do on Linux that I can on Winblows (I don't play much games).

Many thanks SteveC, it couldn't have been clearer. I already visited the page you linked and downloaded the 20020904 version of WINE (WINE20020804 came with MDK 9), but in .tar.gz format instead of the .rpm file. I tried to compile it first from the shell using the ./configure command, but it...

Ok, good to know it's probably on my Mandrake 9.0 installation (Yep, upgraded this morning, nice). But...where? I'll search on Google, hope to find something to tell me where to access to WINE on Mandrake 9.

Does WINE come with most distro or it is a separated application?

The problem isn't specific to Mandrake, it is common to all Linux platforms. The Linux client is slower than the one for Winblows. Sad (and hard to understand) but alas, true. I wonder if FreeBSD can run the F@H client for Linux? Afterall, FreeBSD is supposed to support most softwares...

Thanks for the info, but I won't take the trouble. Since I'm already more or less satisfied with my current RedHat distro and I expect Mandrake 9 to be quite good too, I don't think it worths the trouble and $$$ to look for a CD of SuSe. It must be a very fine distro, but I have something good...

I wasn't awared that the F@H client was incompatible with Mandrake 8.2. I hope it isn't with v.9.0 since I'm about to install it. Have you considered upgrading your Mandrake version to 9.0?

My main problem with Suse, no matter how good it's supposed to be, is that it isn't available to download for free on the Net (except maybe on warez). I've heard many nice things about it, but I'm not ready to lay down cash for a distro similar to many others while not being sure at all that...

I remember back when Evil Monopolistic Empire lead to their site too. Too bad it doesn't work anymore.

Finally been able to access their site, got my (positive) answer. KDE 3.03. I might try it afterall.

Depends on which way you look at it. I don't consider a warranty drop from 3 years to a single one as an improvement. But on the performance and feature (low noise/heat), you're probably right. The safest aspect of the drive from which we can expect improvement is, of course, STR. Lower...

I still cannot access their web site. Does Mandrake 9.0 includes KDE 3.0.2 or earlier or KDE 3.03? There is a problem with SSL handling with Konqueror in KDE 3.02 and earlier, so I would rather have the fixed 3.03 version. KDE 3.1 final is supposed to be available in October and there are a...

Adcadet, Why have you started a second F@H user? __________________________________________________________ We'll need to do something to revamp our team because our production isn't good enough to improve our ranking much anymore. With the new Athlon XP that will be available in a few...

Asus currently makes two cheap boards : A7S333 (SiS745) and A7N266-VM (nForce 220-D). The former sells here for around 105$CDN-110$CDN (~69U$) while the latter goes for 115$CDN (73$CDN). The A7S333 includes a relatively good audio chip and also LAN IIRC, but the SiS745 chipset isn't any faster...

I know people on Ars Technica's forum are all in love and admiration for the SiS735-based Leadtek motherboard. Here it is both very hard to find and on the expensive side, so I personally haven't tried it. I'm not sure it is a good board for you Tony. It IS a good motherboard (from what I...

Try Serious Sam if you want to fight legions and legions of enemies. I only played the first one and there are levels with more than 800 opponents to kill. Just too bad the machine gun cannot hold more than 500 ammo.
