Tint your hair and beard in white. People will feel like they buy from Santa. You'll catch, you'll see.

No idea how new this is, but I noticed that both Gecko-based browsers have been updated this evening. As I don't visit Mozilla's web site daly, this might be old news. I installed Moz 1.1 and didn't notice any major difference when using it. It might be a bit snappier than before though. Oh...

My impression was that it was the contrary. IIRC ,the firewire hard drives were out-performed by their USB2 siblings.

I'm trying to create a new logo for my company. I used Paintbrush and then Corel PhotoPaint 8. Both don't worth shit so far. Actually, I've been able to do more with Paintbrush. When I try to fill a color within a polygon under PhotoPaint, it fills the whole screen. I'm about to eat my...

While I'm browsing on the Net, working on Office app and viewing pdf documents and such simultaneously, I'm doing a step of the same protein in ~9m30s on my Athlon XP 1600+, which cost quite a bit less than a P4 2.53GHz. For @home projects, Athlon rUlEz.

What are your supported OS requirements? Price cap? Not that I can be of a great help about tape backups, but I figure these are two points important to now for others to provide valuable answers.

It would steal some precious cycles to my FAH program, so it's a no-go for me. Besides, I already know that Tony beats us all, except maybe for Jason, but the later fall in the unworthy-content category.

The worst part about the P4-Celeron is that it cost more than the lower grade Athlon XP. There will soon be a 0.13mm version for 2GHz and up Celeron on that core, but it will still only feature 128K L2 cache. Pathetic. We must give it that it out-performs the older Tualatin-based Celeron in...

From what he told me on IM, he doesn't know what's the motherboard's brand and model, but the motherboard doesn't have any AGP slot, so it must not be very recent. I'm going to take a look at it tomorrow, but if any of you would has suggestions on the possible instability causes that a Voodoo 3...

Please, don't tell me you out-produce me by crunching on a bunch of C3. How many are you using? 20? 30?

From what I found with a quick search on the Web, the driver v1.07 is the latest for Win 9x and the v.1.03 is the latest for Win2K. WinXP support is probably inexistant since 3dfx went bankrupt before its release.

A futon's matress isn't stiff enough for a 250lbs guy. I advise you to look for another solution. The quality of a matress is often not something you notice at first, but on the long-term, it can affect a lot the quality of your sleeping time.

Blame it on the Europeans and the Chinese. They keep all the water for themselves, the bunch of Scrooge.

It's been a few days already, but our fellow Adcadet has restarted to contribute to our team. He even past P.W. in the meanwhile. I'm glad we have one less "0" at the bottom of our stats table. I haven't seen him post for quite some time though.

You can find more info about the Turbo Gamer (just a model name for enclosures from Aspire) right here.

The PLUS1080B is black and has an additional blow hole on the side panel. It's only a few bucks more. If metallic gray is your kind of color, then you can buy the very same enclosure from NewEgg with a 430W Antec PSU for 140U$. There's also the Thermaltake Xaser II 6000 serie, which is...

I like the Asus nForce-based motherboards, but I'm not too found of their other implementations. Their nForce motherboards sell at the same price level as the Microstar's while they are more optimized and receive quicker BIOS updates when NVIDIA fixes a bug in their chipset. For duallies, I...

I went to watch it too a few weeks ago (the first it came out) and it only cost me 6.50$...CDN :P And that's the regular price (on Tuesday and Wednesday) at most movie theaters, not just some lowly stereo sound ones.

Hey, maybe he does like cats for that too.

Finally, back in fifth spot. It's just temporary (until my next ISP hickup), but damn it feels good. Thank you Doug to have slow down to allow me to pass you even if it might only be for a short period of time. Hey, no matter if Xtreme Systems passes us or not, we should be proud of what we...

This isn't something I can allow myself to for systems in that price range. For servers yes, but for budget box, no way. And anyway, I never had to sell hardware at a lost to strike a deal on high-end stuff.

Very important indeed for someone who's still downloading files from the Net in Morse code (or similar speed connection) :P

Wow, what a lazy fat ass you think I am. I wasn't sleeping at the time you posted it. I left out for work about an hour earlier and just came back now. "I can't wait for Coug to wake up..." Yeah, yeah yeah... ;-) I hope AMD is right in its accusations. Sorry, I meant I hope AMD will be...

Yeah, you're right. I could match Dell if I would use an Athlon XP config, but I was trying to compare aples to aples. And it's the first time in a while I cannot beat a system while using more or less the same components. And no way I'm gonna use a generic tower and PSU in a configuration...

Because RDRAM is the offspring of Rambus, who is the offspring of Satan. I bet Rambus' CEO sleeps in the same bed as some Microsoft's administration consil members. But no matter what is my opinion of Rambus, the i850 and i850E chipsets are primitive compared to their DDR siblings. Most of...

I went on Dell's web site this evening. Usually, I only check their laptops, but today I decided to see what they can offer for desktop computers. To my greatest surprise, they are damn competitive. Not only against Compcrap, but against my very own self too. Their Dimension 4500S is out of...

Who's Raven, our new FAH team member?

Glad I'm not using IE.

I'm more interested in the 2200+ with the new core stepping (v.1 instead of 0). It's clocked at 1.8GHz at default frequency and it should reach 2.25GHz pretty easily (the frequency it will operate when the FSB is set to 166MHz DDR). If X-bit could reach 2.3GHz with the 2600+ model, then...

I have again been deprived of internet access since yesterday's evening when I was writing a reply to this thread, around 11:15pm Eastern Time. Copy/paste my reply of yesterday would be vain as it would be outdated in the current state of the discussion. I hate Videotron's union employees...

Clocker, You obviously have earned high salaries for quite a while to develop such mentality. I have known both side of the medal and in a country where income taxes are much higher than the scant ~30% max you currently give to your government. The idea of progressive income tax is that when...

But since the ATI replacement for the GeForce 4Ti lineup isn't the AIW, but the regular Radeon, you don't have to worry too much about it. Tony, a quick look on my price lists dating from this very day tells me that I could still sell a 4400 from Microstar, Asus and EVGA, but it could only mean...

...or Mozilla.

Although the GeFarce 3Ti (all flavors) would normally be good values at the price they are selling now, because of the ridiculous price drop of the Radeon 8500 line, the later are a much better deal. With the latest CATALYST 2.2, the Radeon 8500LE out-performed the GF3 (except maybe the still...

It worked! Thanks Time, I would never have thought it was this setting that fk/d up some of the pages I view.

Shouldn't that be 1989?

Here's the problematic AOpen site under Opera :

I don't know about RAID 1, but soft RAID 0 is usually much faster than what most hardware RAID solutions can provide. I don't remember the CPU utilization %, but I think it was around 40% on average during transfers on a modern computer some 6 months ago. I have unfortunately never tried soft...

Are you sure frogs have what it takes to fart?

Well here, on my Win2K box, Opera add a vertical listing of all the "Global Sites, Home, Corporate", etc on the upper left corner. These are only text without any styling. It is a kind of rendering bug, but you don't seem to be affected. Since one picture worthes a thousand word, I'll try to...

No, I still use Moz 1.0. Try deleting your profile and create a new one. It solved many issues I had when upgrading Moz versions back in the 0.94-0.96 days. I re-visited RDS.ca with Mozilla 1.0 and it doesn't display the menus at all (but it still is less annoying than the aweful listing...

Here's another annoying bug I often come accross when using Opera : http://www.rds.ca/ for instance. It's all in French, but the problem should be obvious anyway. Place the mouse cursor over the various sport names (baseball, football, tennis, etc) and see what happens. Intead of showing a...

I tried to reach the Ballarat elder-geek through his former Dingoblue.au.net e-mail address (the one we used to contact ourselves prior to the creation of this forum), but I received a message telling me that the sky-colored Aussie dog ISP has stopped to provide internet services and probably...

You could also consider the i845G-based GigaByte GA-8IGML_T, which is very similar to the µ-ATX i845E-based motherboard that Buck linked above, except that it uses the slightly faster i845G chipset. I saw it for only 136$CDN, so it's about 45$CDN cheaper than the ATX-sized GA-8IGX I told you...

I wanted to mention it, but refrained. Thanks Time. Maybe I simply wasn't clear enough the first time and Nick thought I was talking about something else. I should have written "Have you tried different CDR media brands..."

http://www.oeone.com/products/desktop.html I saw the link on the front page of Mozilla's web site. Looks interesting. I have yet to try it and I would like your ePinions before I waste time to download and install it on my aging Linux box (running RedHat 7.3 for the moment). Looking at the...

I think team 2CPU is the most serious threat or all for us, because they have a strong membership on their web site and are also fairly well known so they will have little problem to recruit additional high-potential-cruncher type of members. Xtreme Systems will pass us too, it's no secret...

Imagine if they win (won't happen), what could PowerPC users do to Apple :roll:

I saw your submitted news yesterday evening Gary. You submitted four news I think. It happened in the past that one member submitted several news all at once. The reason why I only posted them with a delay between them is to let people read them. Most of the time, people only read the first...

Seems weird. Have you tried several CD media brands or just one (a cheap one)? A similar problem happened to me with an el cheapo Optorite POS burner some months ago, but it was the burner that was at fault (don't ever buy Optorite). However, your LTR-32123S is from Lite-On, a company...
