I have Image for DOS from Terabyte; works very well, not fussy about media, fits on a floppy (or used to). I got this after using Ghost, DriveImage (the one before Symantec f'ed it up) and being frustrated. This also writes to external Firewire drives and USB drives and is fast. Current price is...

I last configured one in the late nineties. For the ignoramus I was and am, it wasn't too difficult. You're probably working with a current model with an obfuscated UI.

Not exactly yhe sun shining out of er...the bottom, but light at the end of the tunnel.

Are you serious? What if you can't afford it? Do they "encourage" you to move to another state? It's scary how Orwellian the U.S. is becoming.

Deleting the IDE controllers in Device Manager and having Windows redetect them might fix the issue.

Bad boy.

Insanely fast flash: Intel, Micron claim their flash is greased lightning NAND that’s not all By INQUIRER staff: Friday, 01 February 2008, 8:13 AM MICRON and Intel said they jointly developed NAND flash memory offering five times performance over existing memory types. The joint venture...

Pretty blatant, aren't we? Wait till she reads this thread some day.

Thanks, Tannin. I'll pass then. As I get older, my patience wears thin easily, and I'm becoming more of a curmudgeon :joker:

:rotfl:

For the bandwidth challenged: is this humor or is this how-to in Photoshop, in which case I'll try getting to it. Thanks.

Assuming you're buying from a stranger, how do you know it isn't damaged? I'd be very leery of buying expensive stuff used. That's just me.

Returning a lost camera to the owner

I learned to program in assembler. Steve Gibson (SpinRite) is a fan of it too. If you know what you're doing, it ain't bad, and your proggies will run faster than a scalded ape. They will also be very small. In this day and age, knowing how to do this (I last did it in 1983) is a feat, congrats...

DD: Black Label is for desperate times (or when the wallet is thin). When I have it, it feels like pesticide to me. Try masking it with cold soda.

Unusual eBay Feedback - a small list of the weird!

Well, Gilbo, go out and buy one and let us know how good it is. Always good to have a choice. I'm still not sure what I want, when I'll buy it, and if I'll like using it.

No, actually it's warm. :-D [hides]

Not to the extent China does. Most countries do.

Hypothetical example: Invest $100 in India. Assume $1 = Rs. 40 (Indian Rupee). Value = Rs. 4,000 $ appreciates by 10%. $1 = Rs. 44. If you liquidate your holdings, Rs. 4,000 / Rs. 44 = $90.91, assuming the value of your investment did not appreciate or depreciate. This would not be a...

It's amazing how fungi and lowly parasites can control and dictate the behavior of their hosts. Reads like sci-fi.

I would have posted in this thread if it existed then. I put it there rather than start a new thread. In a nutshell, the Feds themselves are saying the USA is headed for bankruptcy. Not that we didn't know it, but it is now being acknowledged at the higher levels.

Good for a laugh; some are quite good. It's a montage of real people's faces and the faces on various currencies.

Stumbled on this link; was interesting for me.

I find it interesting that there are no comments re. my posts in the Fair tax thread.

A heart attack in 5 minutes or less, or your money back.

A similar article: The Fraud of Bushenomics: They’re Looting the Country At least some people are beginning to notice and are writing about what's wrong.

The coming financial collapse of the U.S. government: Fed papers reveal what's in store for Americans I suggest y'all read this, and if possible the link to the Fed papers. Personally, this is nothing new to me; this was a major factor in my decision to move out of the U.S. in 2006 after having...

Animator vs Animation (Flash based, low bandwidth needed - I could see it without delay). Thought it was cool.

The older boot loaders from Partition Magic and System Commander need to be installed in a FAT primary partition to make one OS partition active and the other OS partitions invisible, so they don't see each other. I used to dedicate the first primary for this purpose, keeping the partition size...

Tannin, from the amount of tea you drink, you're obviously PUI ;-) Gilbo, thanks. I bought Vista Home Premium 64-bit just to run PS CS3. I haven't installed Vista (or CS3) yet. Maybe I should sell it off for what I can get. No point installing such shit and suffering the ensuing agony.

What's a hard crash?

I was trying to be funny, Merc. ;-)

New display sizes to excite Tannin: So, a plethora of "new" screen sizes awaits us - 21.6 inches, 26 inches at the top, and 15.6 inches at the bottom. 1920x1080, 1280x720, 1600x900 - all kinds of old-new funny pixel counts. CES report from The Inquirer

Just slogging my butt out.

Never did try JW Green Label. Glenlivet's ok. I really do like JW Blue label. Don't often have it, too expensive.

They've eaten crow. Downloadable .reg files that restore the ability to open files, and downloadable .reg that put the restrictions back in place, both by application type (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.). Link is here (scroll down to Method 1).

My MH-C9000 doesn't make any noises at all. Maybe your's is defective. Call Thomas.

Ditto! Most of what I know came from SR and SF. My sincere thanks to you guys! I remember Crispulo for some reason. And it was a post made by Tony on SR that brought me here. My thanks especially to him. Y'all a bunch of swell guys, despite that occasional heated exchange caused by...

That's too bad, Will. Where did you get them from? Where they packed properly?

DC Resource reviews the Nikon D300.

How so? You're a sweet guy who's never gotten into a conflict like I have. Handy's had to lock several threads as a result of my posts. :crap:

Their customer service is really good. You should call and tell them. I'm sure they'll address the issue.

I have an LG TV that is supposed to do this ("Magic Eye"). It sucks so bad I turned the feature off. Sharp probably have refined their algorithm to work better.

Women seem to love the SD series; small enough to fit in a purse. I got an SD600 for my wife in 2006 and she uses it a lot. This is a person who is very picky about things. She takes way more pics (and mostly good ones, too; she has a knack for it) than I do.

Shit. And this was something I was planning to do; fortunately haven't had the time so far. Or I'd probably have pulled the remaining few hairs out of my head.

I'm glad to know he is well too. I come here to be with friends, not necessarily for computer related stuff (there is Google for that).

I have a large old photo that I scanned in two overlapping halves and was trying to merge those using Photoshop Elements 4.0 (which is all I had then). Using File --> New --> Photomerge Panorama

Been there, done that :-D - almost frying the motherboard, I mean, and not on my first build either. When I built my present system (2006) using a DFI motherboard, I had everything working, then bought a Silverstone front 3.5" bay USB port thingy, checked the motherboard manual for the USB...
