Bozo, I was waiting for someone to make the comment you made :lol: I think it's clear that Windows is way more vulnerable than Linux is. Hopefully, Linux won't degenerate. The AS/400 is one heck of a platform. I have never understood why the geniuses at IBM keep it hidden in a closet.

Microsoft on 'rootkits': Be afraid. Be very afraid. Linux looks more attractive everyday.

Yeah, I really liked Friday, too. It's been eons since I read it though. Creative MuVo TX 512MB Mp3 Player $106 at Buy.com

David, I had no idea you looked like a chef! :D Gilbo, the book marks I have for cell-phone info (in addition to Mobiledia) are: HowardChui.com HowardChui Forums Steve's Southern Ontario Cell Phone Page

A trip down memory lane! I have one, maybe two of these boards in storage somewhere. Processor and matching RAM (that worked with the board) as well. If you're interested, I can try to find them for you. If you need the manual in PDF, and the last BIOS updates released, let me know, I'll email...

Gee, that's odd. I remember every mfr. saying memory had to be added in pairs. * shrug*

I've had good experiences with SIIG, bad with SYBA. Koutech seems to be a low-end brand, from what I've seen in stores. If I had to buy one of these, it'd be a SIIG. But $42 seems horrenduously expensive to pay for a serial port card. As time says, these are pretty simple. I've paid ~$15 for a...

Good idea, Buck. What's a BC vehicle? In related news, Australian Noah's Ark Program Combats Cane Toad. They're trying to fix another ecological experiment gone bad. Those cane toads are amazingly poisonous.

I saw a program on Animal Planet once where a South American man was bitten by a venomous snake (can't remember which one) in the foot. Necrosis set in, and his leg had to be amputated at the knee. I'm 100% with David - death doesn't scare me, but life and pain do. I'm a weemp.

...on interoperability. I'm sure some of you already read it, but for the rest, here it is.

I'm not a gamer, but still enjoyed reading the story.

Here.

I have two drives in my system. All the data is on drive B. I've downloaded, installed and set up SyncBack. Before I shutdown for the night, I just run a script that syncs my data to a backup folder on drive A. I also periodically burn DVD+RWs with the data.

There was a news item a couple of days ago that they seem to be ready to go live. The abundance of invites is a consequence of the desire to assimilate. The Borg are here.

I never gave away any of mine (nobody wanted any), and I've still got only 6 left, thank heavens.

You'll get better hits googling for "vibrating alarm" (no jokes, please). Check this thing out.

I'm not writing this in jest. There are products for the hearing impaired. Eg. a vibrating alarm that goes off when the telephone rings. If you google for hearing impaired products, you might get an idea or two that you can adapt to your purpose.

Robert Cringely's take on this is very interesting. It's here.

Right. But it's my understanding that beyond these commonalities, they differ in implementation, and most certainly firmware. I believe that though NEC chipsets are in both, the Pioneer can read DVD-RAM but the NEC cannot. I guess I'm trying to say that it's not like a Kangaru or Pacific...

Care to elaborate, kind sir?

It ain't the same.

Jan, Any Socket-939 boards out there that actually support 4GB at any speed? Last I checked (a couple of months ago), the max was 3GB, with many supporting only 2GB.

They wear diapers and carry handbags instead?

This be one weird thread :o

Aah, but you folks forget that Pradeep is Mr. Hawk Eye. He'd relish WUXGA on a 12" laptop screen. Me, I have "poor vision". I'm comfy at 1024x768 on my 17" CRT, and H-A-T-E :cursin: SXGA+ (1400x1050) on my 14.1" Stinkypad.

Did you ever receive those cow pies that were shipped down under?

:D

Thanks for the update, Handruin. I don't desperately need to buy this stuff, but am keeping an eye open for a good deal. After seeing such mixed reviews for Netgear and Belkin, I've decided I'll stick with Linksys. Linksys seems to have a short life (~15 - 18 months), but while they're alive...

I never cease to be amazed at the tenacity and fortitude of humans to live in some pretty difficult climes (inhospitable for me, having lived in warm/temperate climes all my life).

Er, thanks!

Fabulous advice, Merc! Just what I needed to know, and very timely as well. You da man! Eh? What's that? Hi-tech controller for the lights in your home?

After being free tech support to all my contacts for years, I'm slowly weaning them off. I'm sick of doing it. Most of the last 2 years and earlier this year, this issue sucked up so much of my time. I'm burned out by this crap. Sorry, but now most of them are on their own now. These days I have...

What's the world coming to? I guess we should see the bright side and open consulting businesses that will disinfect everything from cars to refrigerators to, who knows, prosthetic penises. Sigh. Story here.

Duck ancestors roamed Earth with dinosaurs

Seagate rebates are a problem. Mine is still not processed by the 3rd party processor after 18 weeks. First they said the serial # wasn't a retail serial#, as the rebate required. It was. After arguing with them and talking to a supervisor, they forwarded it to "another department" for...

Glad you got it resolved. On paper, USB 2.0 is faster, but in practice, FW-400 is faster than USB 2.0.

I'd end up with a sprained neck - it'd be like watching tennis, like being in the first row in a cinema theater! Next they'll come up with a 48" monitor, bundled with a motorized chair that'll go back and forth so you can see/read the appropriate section of the damn thing.

I've used Easy CD/DVD Cremator for years. For basic stuff, it'll do, though it is bloatware. I've made plenty of data/music CDs with it, and a few data DVDs. Don't know how good it is at making video DVDs; never did it yet.

Brisk! I'd be frozen stiff. The coldest I've ever experienced in my life is about 34F (that's +, not -). The weather's all goofy this year, it seems. We got record rainfall here in S. CA a few weeks ago. Buck, JSF and I became champion swimmers (in my dreams! Despite the fat on me, I sink like...

Will: sorry, but ALi does suck, big time. I have FW PCI cards made by Adaptec and Belkin, and they both work perfectly. I bought a Syba 2-port FW Cardbus card ($20) for my laptop, and had to send it back because it was really flaky. I bought an Adaptec card ($60) that has been absolutely...

It's not clear if you've solved your problem and / or purchased another cable. In any case, in my travels, I've accumulated some URLs. Never bought anything from these, but you may want to check them out for DVI cables/info. http://www.mycableshop.com/3rd_Level/Video-Flat.htm...

Glad your drive survived, Coug. The next time you get angry with your system, do me a favor. Ship the system to me (I'll pay shipping).

A very common cause of this behaviour is the Indexing service in Win XP. Disable it in Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Services.

Gary listed some Supermicro cases for Santilli in one of the threads. It would be worthwhile to check your options on these.

What on earth do you guys in Sweden use that kind of bandwidth for, month after month (assuming you're not running a web/ftp site)?
