There's nothing wrong with the way standard PCs look. If I don't want to look at a PC, I put it somewhere I don't see it. That thing, on the other hand, looks like a Japanese design guru went on a tequila and methamphetamine binge.

Consoles are beneath me. :)

Remember the happy days last year when an XP2500 was only $65? <sob>

I told you. Pack one up and mail her to me. I'll pay shipping. I am going to be 30 soon and I'm having a hard time seeing how my personal life could get more pathetic than wanting David to mail me a hoochie-chick. :(

That's hideous.

Well, the first thing that comes into my mind WRT to Dr. Rice is that no African American with any respect for his or her own race would want anything to do with the Bush administration... that's pretty ugly to me.

Hold down your option key during startup to get a list of available boot devices. /Just got a Mac G4 Server

On this matter I will concur with Tannin. Tannin may live in the upside-down part of the world where nvidia makes acceptable products, but Asus boards are teh suck and Via-based boards are great and have been for some time.

Will it never stop? I heard xmas music for the first time this year (seven weeks before xmas), last week. And now the barrage has begun in my office. It can't be good for mental health. ARG.

For $200, a Creative Zen looks like a pretty good deal. I'd rather have 30GB than 1GB.

I really can't even begin to care. Dell makes substandard products. Maybe they will soon be making substandard AMD products. Maybe not. On the other hand, I maybe moving into a 100% Dell shop, in which case I can only hope they go AMD.

He used it for something under a week, or it might've been tested. I'd call it new, regardless.

Pardon me? Have you TRIED one of those ATI-integrated boards from MSI? They have a DX9 capable X300 onboard, and they are great.

I've got a copy of it. :P The motherboard it's supposed to work with is a $50 Asrock (asus) POS with integrated Intel video. I can't bring myself to buy one. Anyway, I see no compelling reason to stick with Windows if you don't play games. Install SuSE. If there's a Windows app you still need...

FSP Group is the company that makes Sparkle power supplies. They're all very noisy. I don't even think they make a low-noise model. On the other hand, they're reliable as all get-out.

I realized quite a while ago that I don't belong in bars where I might meat people. Isn't meating something you don't do on a first date? I am going to save meating for after I am married. What consenting adults do with 2lbs. of London Broil is entirely up to them, but I want my first time to...

Many Linux systems symlink /usr/src/linux to /usr/src/linux-2.6.whatever.the.shipping.version.was. Putting your stuff there would overwrite the files that came with the system. I intrepret that as "make a different directory to put your stuff in", which isn't usually a problem.

Maybe my next one. I bought an Enermax 600W unit about two minutes after Coug's reply.

Sony ES-grade DVD jukeboxes can be daisy chained to form one logical unit. They have RS232 ports for all kinds of interesting applications. I wouldn't want to rip something that I already had on physical media, but I do wish I could computer-control 'em.

Thanks. Looks like I'll be better off with a multi-+12V Enermax PSU than a low-end PCP&C then.

A while back I mentioned that I wasn't able to use the second core in a couple of my x2-based machines, but if I let the machines run on non-SMP kernels, they still worked OK. Over the weekend I got around to correcting that - I put in 520W OCZ-something-or-other. It had lights inside it. I...

What Badgers Eat timwhit will get it.

Had a third-round interview for a new job today. I don't mind my current job, as I'm pretty much on my own 90% of the time, but the 75% - 100% pay increase + company car + benefits + retirement plan + bridged time from previous employment (11 years = 25 days of vacation time) might make it a...

You could use the Windows 3.1 folding client! /ducks

That is not a garlic press. However, a garlic press, applied to appropriate body parts, should send a clear message. Sony makes SACDs, which I like, and big DVD changers, which I also like. Sony also makes a lot of other thing that I think are complete and utter shit. On the balance I find...

I haven't had problems with LiteOn drives (well, once), but a couple of my students have, after I talked them up. Makes me wonder if their QA has gone to pot. :(

Not that i didn't cover it already, but the only things I split off are /home and /var from the main install. I also generally make a large volume called /pub which is where I put my generic shared files.

Install an imap server. Seriously. You can create public folders the guys can access and everything. You can put it on the smoothie.

DOSEmu is fine, except that it doesn't do sound. Bochs, Xen and VMware are all viable alternatives as well.

Can I have an address @allfreeporn.com?

My Windows PCs are all Server 2003 Web Edition. Grey-market versions start at about $250 or $300 (about $50 more than XP Pro, retail). Microsoft hands out legit, full and legal copies of Server 2003 at almost all its training sessions and tech conferences. Usually, if you're affliated with a...

You'll REALLY want to start from scratch. In my experience, upgraded Windows installs usually misbehave quite a bit.

Yahoo +YahooPOPs should work pretty well.

I know that vim does syntax highlighting. I don't generally use it, myself (I actually prefer a mono terminal for a lot of things. I don't even use color-ls). Looks like all you've got to do is make sure the highlighting scripts are in the right place and set up something in your .vimrc to tell...

My ex- was a med student at the time, actually. I was like her second or third patient.

Odd that you say that, as I had our 71-year-old receptionist using Knoppix today. I put on a desktop shortcut to our file server, configured one of our Textronix printers and told her Firefox = the web (she has firefox on her PC, but doesn't know it, cause I changed her default skin and icon)...

I have to concur with the above. We wouldn't be here without him, but even if the forum were someplace else, the place just wouldn't be the same. Go Doug!

Yeah... my situation with them actually got worse over the weekend. Like to the point where they've asked me not to communicate with them any more. And their reasoning for doing so is soooo irrational that it's just surreal. I can't believe either of them are behaving the way they are. They...

306!

Two words: Garlic Press. Actually, as long as we're talking about Sony, I think that might even be merciful. So we'll skip straight to medieval torture devices. Like this friendly little guy: They deserve nothing less.

Just like with floppy disks, when CDs were expensive, they were higher quality. :(

Dude. Sony? How could you?!?

The media and labor cost for dual layer are too high. :( 8GB is a pathetic amount of data anyway. Hell, 50GB is a pathetic amount of data.

Guys, I don't need a visitor. But thank you for offering. I guess I need to find something else to keep myself occupied, 'cause sitting in my dark bedroom probably isn't all that healthy. :|

No. You're fine. The information is held on the drive itself, and does not depend on the controller or its interface. The worst that might happen is that you might have to re-import your drives. One other thing: If you're doing the software RAID thing to get large volumes on 2k3, you might as...
