I'm using Server 2003 here with those same settings and stuff is working fine on my digital output. Rebooted recently?

In the Sound and Audio Devices Applet, Audio Tab, is HDA X-Mystique 7.1 Wave listed as your default playback device? Have you tried a DXdiag?

Also, IIRC Santilli went to Law School at UCB. He might be able to help you out with your... issues, ddrueding.

Did you tell the audio driver that you want analog sound instead of digital?

What's the advantage of Sharepoint over just sticking things in a Shared folder someplace and using a real CMS for non-MSOffice content (e.g. Joomla)? I know of about a dozen ways to do what it does without installing some other dumbass product on my server... The folks in my office are all...

My latest OKCupid story. OKCupid matches people by their scores on a series of tests. Only people above 75% compatible are considered a match. Worldwide, there are only about 200 straight women on that site, worldwide, who "match" me, and almost all of them are around the 75% number. Almost all...

I do not think you guys understand the depths of desperation involved in my previous statement. :(

So, you're saying that if I go to a frat party, I might be able to have sex? Why didn't anyone tell me this?!?

OK. I can fix that. It's all over torrent networks now. Or This site I've never heard of.

Kids today. If it's not HTTP they don't want anything to do with it. The world was better when more things were on gopher servers!

Anyone know anything about Sharepoint? The Microsoft Product page is remarkably free of content or information other than "business 2.0"-buzzword crap. I know it has something to do with sharing MS Office documents on the web. Anyone know more than that?

Never heard of FTP?

OK. Complaint #2: I liked the Close Tab button better on the end of the Tab bar. I'm sure someone will come along and fix it back to the way it used to be, but IMO moving that particular UI element around is just stupid. It's no longer possible to quickly close tabs with the pointer. That sucks.

I'm running 2.0 (no RC, full FF2.0) now. At least some mirrors have it today. My only complaint at the moment is that the Session Saver extension doesn't work with it.

Sol, you need to track down and watch the most recent two episodes of BSG. The three episodes of season three leading up to the most recent have been what I would call the extended foreplay leading up to a HOLY SHIT OH MY GOD OH MY GOD YES YES YES climax.

Oh. And there's one other appearance of "Serenity" that I'm aware of. Had a nerdgasm when I noticed it.

Spinrite?

Earlier in the week I had a conversation with the parent of a 13 year old girl. She asked me how she could be sure her little darling/hellion was being safe on the internet. I got the impression that her idea of what "safe" was meant an internet that ended at disney.com, but just the same, it's...

Do they support 939? If so, yes.

I don't think of 250GB as a large enough amount of contiguous space to use for any kind of data dump. I'd probably make the two drives into some kind of volume for trivial data like internet downloads, movie files or mp3s - stuff that really DOESN'T need to be backed up. My massed spaces are...

Porn, porn, classical (porn) music, porn, comics, and porn. Yes. Those things. I'm looking for some kind of non-sucky-to-install Tracker software. I see a lot of things that look annoying to install and a lot of things that are easy but also buggy and broken.

There are instructions for installing multiple versions of IE on the same PC floating around... But as far as I'm concerned that's like screwing different people to get multiple versions of herpes. IE7 broke my company's web site. I suggested that we put a large "Get Firefox now you fucking...

IsoHunt is just a site that indexes multiple torrent trackers. I spend quite a bit of time on Demonoid.com, which is members-only and used to be invite only. That's the kind of model I'm thinking of.

You would use my tracker to host the .torrent file you create. The upstream bandwidth would be your own to give up. I'll have to look into actually doing this.

13 Episodes. 1 movie. 66 pages of a comic book that happens chronologically in between. It shows Shepard Book being taken to that planet and deals with the fate of the guys with blue gloves, among other things. Whedon has said that there are no plans for right now to continue Firefly. However...

More realistically, I could probably stick it behind .htaccess and hand out logins as needed. That's a decent start IMO.

It is if we don't tell anyone about it. :)

VMWare ESX is I'd very much like to play with. I hear the performance gain is astonishing, and I'm doing a lot with the freebie version already.

Completely off the subject, but I just saw that there are three videos on one of the more... interesting torrent sites I frequent that are titled: "World of Whorecraft" And judging by the screenshots, I think I found someone I can look down on even more than tentacle-loving hentai freaks. It...

Maybe I could set up a private torrent tracker?

I still think Starforce is worse. My default position for PC games is now "Buy the boxed copy if I really like it, but play the pirate/cracked version." They're doing everything they can to ruin gaming on PCs. It's really just that simple.

As someone who leaves firefox open pretty much constantly between version upgrades without any difficulties, Allpeers has had a decidedly negative effect on my browser's stability. I still have it installed on one PC, but between the UI and the occasional crash, I don't think it's something I'd...

What is wrong with me that I think this will be a very amusing photograph?

Sol, I've found that the Omega drivers for weirdo laptop versions of graphics chips usually enable those features.

There can be only one.

Just thought I'd note that Newegg.com has Lite-On SATA optical drives. CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives. No burners as of yet, but since they're the first SATA optical drives I've noticed from a non-Plextor source, I thought it might be worth a post. Link

Gilbo, PM me and we'll work on that soundtrack thing. ;)

In what horrid, post apocalyptic world do you live in that Battlestar Galactica is "boring?" Oh. Australia. Sooo... How are Mad Max and Master Blaster these days?

I'm doing a very similar system for my own amusement. I'm using a 939-4800, an x1600 - I want multiple video outs - and only *one* 750GB drive. ;)

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Complete Score will be released November 7th. The Fellowship of the Ring complete score is amazing. Can't wait for the new one. Also: Bear McCreary's scores for the (modern) Battlestar Galactica are extremely cool. Seriously. I've been buying the soundtracks...

I did. The fundie bitch that manages the Waldenbooks in my local mall makes me show ID to buy a Playboy "Book of Lingerie", something I do every month. She says its company policy. I say she's a fundie bitch, and I actually called Waldenbooks' Corporate offices about it just to be sure...

This weekend I found out that re-shelving bibles and books of mormon to the fiction section is a good way to get kicked out of a Waldenbooks.

Sting, the guy whom I remember from the movie version of Dune and everyone else remembers as an 80s rock star, has released an album of Elizabethan Madrigals. WTF?!? It sounds like he's doing it for serious/non-ironic reasons. Which already makes it better than anything Paul "I have no talent...

They all look the same to me. Even the ones in the last couple HPs I had open.

I recommend discrimination against republicans.

I've also seen Matrox cards do that. Never any other brand, oddly enough, but I've seen a G100 and a G400 do it. Matrox let me send back the cards both times. IIRC I got a G200 for the G100, even.

Oh wait, it gets better. Note that this is the first and only time that "better" will be used in the context of any discussion on the subject of Vista.

There was snow in northwest Indiana on Wednesday.

I'm not an exercise kind of guy. I don't even like the idea on a conceptual level. I'll even go so far as to say that I have a mental block against spelling the word "exercise" correctly. Usually it takes a minute or two to play with the c's and s's and z's and x's until it looks right. I don't...

Those are buttons?
