I saw earlier this afternoon that Samsung has launch a new digital flat panel monitor : the 171P. Given the rave of positive comments writen about their previous 17" DVI model (the 170T), their new 171P looks very promising. The specifications are impressive : 25ms response time, 1280x1024...

Could you show us your papers? You look too young to drink. :lol:

Hi, Is it just me or Asus puny and miserable website is down more often than it's fonctional? I've tried to access it for ~three hours now and I always receive a message telling me that "the connection was refused". Shame on Asus for their POS web site! They must be running it on...

Hi, According to this article, Sun plans to charge between 50$ to 100$ to people who'll want to download the next version of Star Office. While I would be willing to pay for Star Office rather than paying for Microsoft's bloated MS Office, I think it will be a huge blow for the popularity of...

I just learned that cable/DSL router and cable modem are two different things. I guess I'll have to find another alternative :(

Hi, My ISP will charge me 5$ more next month for the cable-modem location and I want to lower my monthly payments so I would like to get a cable-modem instead of paying to rent one. I want one with a built-in firewall. 4 10/100Mbit plugs is also a feature I'd like to have. I don't want to...

Posted at Ars Technica about the vanishing of ResellerRatings.com

On my keyboard, when I configure it as US English, the following alt + keypad # gives these french caracters : alt-130 = é alt-131 = â alt-133 = à alt-134 caused page back under Netscape 6.2.1 (I usually use Mozilla, but I'm trying the latest Netscape release for now) alt-135 = ç alt-136 = ê...

I'm eager to see if they'll blame the referee for their defeat against the US team in the semi-final of the hockey tournament. They've been completly dominated during the first two periods. Wouldn't have been of their great goaltender (Khabibulin), they would have lost by 4 or 5 five goals...

I could always write a flame against the poor attitude of the Russian sport delegation and their people in general regarding their average results at the Olympic Games. That would add a bit of action here for sure, especially if a russian member would pop up and try (in vain) to defend the...

Renaming the Bar&Grille to something like "The Living Room" would be a good idea. I think a "Computer News" forum would be unecessary once our php-nuke front page will be ramp up with its "submit news" section.

Just to provide a follow up to this story, the modem was dead. I tried another one, also from Motorola, and everything went smooth and fine. Thanks for you suggestion anyway Tony. It might help me another time.

Would the players above the 30th guy die if they would jump from where they are? I'm not familiar with CS so I don't know how lethal are the damages caused by fall.

I would say EPoX and Soltek are the two best values among the KT266A motherboards, along maybe with the much cheaper ECS K7VTA2 and K7VTA3 v.2, depending of the BIOS revision used. The ECS motherboards are great for no frills systems. They don't have many tweaking features, but they are as...

Sorry, I got confused somewhere. It's their KT133A motherboard that has the HighPoint POS onboard, not their KT266A. I still prefer the Soltek though. Their ATX power connector is better placed.

If you want to learn Linux the right way, then you should do the Linux from scratch. Or at least, try Debian instead of the more bloated distro like Mandrake/Red Hat/SuSe. Debian is supposed to be a lot easier to customize than the three other.

Here the Soltek SL-75DRV2 is 20$CDN cheaper than the comparable EPoX KT266A mobo. In the few reviews I read where both boards were compared, the Soltek was every bit as good as the EPoX and even sometimes slighty in front. The choice is therefore not very hard. The new Soltek SL-75DRV4 (with...

No no Tony, it's just me and Flagreen who have started to post a lot more at SR in the last week, that's all ;-) (joking)

Thanks Tony. I'll try it.

If you want to know what's index.dat, go in DOS mode and edit it. You'll find a few surprises there. A lot of very private informations like web pages you've browsed (even if you have deleted them in the temorary folder) and other potential harmful stuff is found there. There's even links to...

Can someone tell me why I didn't post this thread in the tech support forum? WHY? sight.... I shouldn't post after 1am. :(

Hi, I sold a Motorola SM56 PCI modem to a customer. It installed fine and Windows reconized it and accepted the drivers without a hick. But when I tried to dial any phone number with it, I always get an error message like what there's no tonality detected on the line by the modem. Problem is...

In the context of this thread, I would rather say "Ohno!"

I'm currently using Mozilla 0.98 and Flash works on it. Just use the Flash version for Netscape and it will run fine.

I like the style change now (the dark background behind the forum window). Just a suggestion ; the text "phpBB Created this page in 0.466796 seconds : 14 queries executed : GZIP compression enabled : Debug Mode" at the bottom of the page should be showed in white (or another very ligh color) to...

Hi, I loggued out some 5 minutes ago and I remarked that my name what still displayed as loggued in afterward. I had to re-login in order to post though. It's not a big problem, but when you'll have free time, it would be nice if you could fix it.

It's because of me again, I plead guilty. :roll:

Heard it on the news, not from personal experience.

Considering that your youth is ~30years back from nowadays, several of these pubs might be close today ;-) . I agree that Montréal is a great place to drink a cold beer on a sunny day. But the best thing to do if you want to have a great time is to buy your favorite kind of beer and climb the...

We need a logo. Period. The rest of the style modofications are welcomed. I don't mind if the logo won't be the same as the old one, but we need one. It's a kind of trademark. People need to see one, they will associate our site to some visual image. Also, while I like grey, we need...

I've heard very good comments about the flat screen Zenith HDTV. They are supposedly better than the Sony Trinitron. They are also cheaper than the Sony (you doon't pay for the brand name). I'm satisfied with my flat screen Trinitron, although the image precision could be better.

I saw the race as there was a Quebecer also participating. It's a weird way to win a medal for sure. The Aussie won only because the stupid sob chinese imb... took all the other three leading skaters down with him. This @$$ hole did the same thing in the semi-final. He should have been...

I didn't remark the Zip drive, but as you wrote, it's a waste of $$$ nowadays considering how cheap burners are. I can understand (but not agree) with their recommendation for WinXP, as most softwares for Windows will be developped for it in the future. Win2K SP2 is better than WinXP, but...

Hi, I took a glimpse at Ars Technica System Guide to see what good those guys had to say about the optimal configurations in the three main price segments. I found many recommendations highly questionable. Take a look at it and tell me what you think about it. Just a few examples : God Box ...

Bill, What! You didn't know it? Well, now I know people don't read my posts. I must have called him by his first name at least four or five times since he started to use his new handle. I thought it would be enough for everyone to figure out. I'm pis...! ;-)

There were a lot of members with more posts than you in the old and gone forum only because you came up late. If you would have joined back in 98 or 99, you have compete with Eric (post # champion), Tony (word # champion), Greg, Supercaff and Kevin. Now that everyone started at the same time...

My eyes, Mercutio, what have they done to you for you to suggest such a terrible torture! :o You're unhuman.

Kevin, You have to click once again on "add another" when you have entered your last option instead of clicking on "submit". Then, you must leave the last option blank and then you submit.

Indeed. Have you remarked the number of threads from people trying to move to Linux since WinXP arrived? Unfortunately, WinXP still sells well :(

I only remember to have posted once under the influence of alcohol. However, it doesn't mean that I have only posted once under the influence of alcohol.

Ahh, the old folks...always complaining! ;-)

Are you telling me that you might erase all the damn links I sent there? Doug, you break my heart. :cry: Great job with the design though. I really like the look of the 'Icey' theme. I encourage others to visit and share their thoughts about the project front-page.

The GeForce 4 Ti4200 only arrives in 8 weeks. Currently, only the two elder GeForce 4 model are available (Ti4400 and Ti4600). If you don't want to wait, your only choice is the GeForce 3 Ti200 (I have one and it is more than enough for my small 3D needs). The GeForce 4 Ti4200 will, however...

Ditto to what Flagreen wrote. Western Digital also recently launch their 120GB 7.2k rpm Special Edition. If 100GB isn't enough for you, then you might be interested in their 120GB model. The model number is WD1200JB and you can purchase it directly from their web site, although they don't...

Ok guys, spamming is bad, but I think we should cool down about harddiskinfo.com. Maybe they spammed with bad intentions, but maybe they sent us an e-mail because they thought that with SR going the way of the Titanic, we could be of some help for them to create another great storage review...

I did not have it either and I don't have any filter. I don't know how they proceed to put their e-mail list together. Their way to select the e-mail adresses they spammed has similarities with their review, both are weird. :-?

Notebook's LCDs typically have a contrast ratio of 100:1 or 150:1 (their backlight is a lot weaker due to the space constraint), their viewing angle isn't as large and their response time is slower.

Mercutio, There is a significant difference between laptop's LCDs and the LCD sold as separated units. The latters' are looking a lot better, although I think they are still a bit short of being ready for games and fast motion video. The last generation improved a lot over the one before and...

About Mozilla, I had a lot less trouble with the Feb. 9th build (0.9.8+) than with the Feb. 4th build (0.9.8). Unfortunately, only the original 0.9.8 is available front their front page link. To obtain the Feb 9th build, you must go to this page and download the file named...

BTW, have you tried all the different themes? I like "Odyssey" more than the others. You probably preferd "Kaput".
