Another slowdown report. Although the speed is fine now, the web site was dead slow just ten minutes ago around 16:12.

Intelligence and time. It's not to everyone's reach.

What's that?

Mandrake 8.2 official announcement. It will use the 2.4.18 kernel, XFree86 4.2, KDE 2.2.2 and Gnome 1.4.1. The ProSuite and PowerPack Edition will include StarOffice 6.0.

THE PRESS RELEASE!!! INCLUDE THE PRESS RELEASE!!!!

According to this review at CDRLabs, it still doesn't : Apparently, the LiteON doesn't support Mt.Rainier yet.

The Mitsumi 32/12/48 cost below 100U$ and it also supports Mt.Rainier technology. In fact, it's the fastest Mt.Rainier writer on the market. It's slightly slower to burn CD-R than other 32x burners, but only the CyberDrive similar model is faster to write CD-RW medias. If I had to upgrade a...

160 units a day!!! I barely make 50-60 with my setup. I'm a poor man :cry:

I added a link to our team's stats page on the front page so it will be quicker for everyone to follow our progress. We must be one of the fastest growing team. Bartender, The lack of an edit button is sometimes a pain isn't it? ;-)

Woe, whoew champion! I'M A LOT LESS QUALIFIED THAN YOU ARE to solve this problem. Don't give yourself titles you don't deserve.

Pradeep, If you aren't StorageForum_net, then who is it? I thought that user was you, but now I see Bartender as a separated user. It's not Clocker and since Doug only joined yesterday, it cannot be him either. Who is behind that username? Oh and to clean up confusion, I had the idea to...

I doubt I'll see anything close to BeOs in the rest of my life. Too fast to be true. Too fast for people with no clue. Just too bad its creators weren't as good at advertising their OS as they were to build it up. Ah BeOS.....

The folding and genoming projects will soon merge together so there's no reason to create an additional team IMO. The Genome@home 2.0 client will match both projects as you can read just here. BTW, we are now ranked 600th as a team among the whole 1169 teams participating in the Genome@home...

I've been unable to access the site for a good part of the afternoon and the evening. So far for the supposed better uptime your provider told you about :( But as it's free, we can't complain much. One home accessible 90% of the time is still better than no home at all.

It's hard to think anything about it when we have no clue what's new it's gonna offer. A link to the press release is always appreciated when a product announcement is posted on the forum. I'm not as eager to see SuSe 8.0 in particular as I am to try KDE 3.0 that'll come at the same time.

That's two words Tony. One expression, but two words.

Depends on the implementation. The drive rails of the Antec are fine, although the plastic tend to erode quickly when you take a drive in or out too quickly. The drive rails of the CasEdge enclosures is also supposed to be superior. But like you guys, I have my basket of horror stories about...

:D Someday, we'll beat ArsTechnica's team ;-)

I'll vote for old Green too. However, given his advanced age, shouldn't we make shorter terms? It would be sad to have one of our moderator bust during his term. ;-)

Young guys like Mercutio and Doug : And Bill.... ;)

Why do you say they are incompetent?

Yep, party is over now for James. My sympathy. I hope it didn't hurt too much ;-)

Can someone please edit my previous post and correct the word "resort". It hurts my eyes to see that, I can't stand looking at my monitor anymore. Ouch! Ouch! Please, someone.

AFAIK, NEC has left hard disk drives business a few years ago, which is a good thing IMO because their drives were about as reliable as IMB 75GXP. Toshiba sells 2.5" notebook drives and I think their products are pretty good. They don't sell desktop drives anymore. I never saw a Sony HDD...

Recently, I've had very good experience with the ATI Radeon 7500. At the time it was introduced, that card wasn't very interesting due to its poor driver optimizations. But now, ATI finally managed to write some half-decent drivers and the Radeon 7500 is about as fast in 3D as a GeForce 2Ti...

What did you find so wrong with the case? No drive-rails? Here, it cost the same as an Antec SX-1000 without the PSU. While the Antec enclosure is a bit better overall if you consider all the features it has (drive-rails, plastic fan ducks, better mecanism to remove the door), the SX-1000 is...

I found a review of that enclosure here. Although the reviewer was a bit too enthousiast about it to my taste, it sure looks like a very good enclosure nonetheless. It's not manufactured by NIKAO, only distributed by them. GMC (not the trucks) makes them. And it doesn't wait 20lbs but 28lbs...

I'm talking about PC setups here. Anyway, I'm not sure that Cray computer has a very good perf/power consumption ratio compared to a bunch of regular PCs put together. I might be wrong though.

That's fine Buck, you are free to contribute to whatever you want. I'm just asking for my personal knowledge (and fun :) ).

Hi, I'm trying to find what platform has the best performance to power ratio to run the Genome@home project. What I mean is : which setup calculates the maximum amount of G@h units per Watt dissipated. Would it be a dual-Tualatin setup? A dual-Athlon MP setup? A dual-Duron setup? I don't...

Apparently, they are back.

Mark, You should try to learn Espanol. It's supposed to be a lot easier than Russian, any asian-based...and French. Not as simple as English though. And it's the second-most widely used language on the planet. What was your idea to begin with the easiest of them all? Of course any other...

English is relatively simple compared to most other language. French is more a headache to learn. But no matter how complicated a language is to learn, almost every child is able to learn the language of his parents in 1½ years. Even Chinese ;-)

Doug, Unfortunately, I don't have any account with Paypal and my past negative experiences with them don't incite me to open one either. I found the case for 90$CDN instead of 100$. I'm tempted, but I have other things with a higher priority on my purchase list. And the market dropped this...

I though it was a thread about Mazda...

Thanks Tea for the correction. The worst is that I knew it but I apparently felt on a memory access error when my typing program tried to read the data. :oops:

Another interesting housing for m-ATX systems : Enlight EN-7600. Unlike most small form factor enclosures, this one has good theoretic airflow with possibly two 92mm fans. It's not available in my area, but I point it out for others who might be interested to build a small box system.

There are unfortunately very few cases capable of holding 120mm fans. I'm talking about mod-free enclosures. I don't understand why the manufacturers don't introduce more of them. The 120mm fans produce more airflow and less noise than several smaller fans. And I presume the enclosures would...

Well Doug, if you are really interested to know if the case's good, just find 10 other persons interested to know it and if all of you send me 5$ (even just 5$ CDN!), I'll buy it and tell you my impressions. :mrgrn:

When the forum software ask you if you are sure that you really want to delete that particular message, answer no and double-check. Maybe Doug would has a way to display the title of the message to be deleted in the "Are you sure? Really, really sure? I bet you aren't... You are? Ok, fine...

He should read it, it's his MSN messenger address. I can always send him a word via Messenger to tell him to look at his hotmail account.

Thank you James. It's nice from you to volunteer like that. I don't have the touch with people so I don't think an e-mail from me would be very effective.

It might be a POS if you only consider the performances, but the LCT were quite reliable IIRC. Besides, it must not have been such a bad drive cause Seagate almost copy/paste the idea with their U-series (which aren't any faster than your 40$ Quantum). And there are people who buys Seagate's...

Hi, I saw that enclosure on sale on my pricelist and I wonder if it would be as good as a similarly priced Antec SX830? It sure looks nice (at least IMO) and if it weights 20lbs without the PS, it must not be flimsy. And the 11 bays would be great for my server. It must not be as functional...

They shooted Kennedy, they shooted the Pope, what are they waiting to shoot Bill? Microsoft is full of $H!T. What will they invent again to make more money on the back of people? Amazing that our society let this bunch of crooks act freely. Go BSD, go Linux. Death to Microsoft!

Sorry Cliptin, but we can't do that. The "are you sure?" message is already copyrighted by Microsoft.

Windows 2000 Server. I used the O&O for server.

Yeah, that would be sadistic and cruel.... Who's in? ;-)

I wouldn't mind to post a thread on SR to ask Jason to slow down for the good of everyone, but I would need other members to show that they agree about my complain. Or else it won't have any effect else than open a flame between me an Jason. I don't know what Eugene thinks about it. I suspect...

If it wasn't of the risk of draw him over here, I would simply send him an e-mail with the URL of this thread. But some might think it would be a bit rude....
