Yeah. OK. Blame poor people for being poor. Call them criminals. Fine. Do that, too. Very helpful and enlightening. This message provides quotes from the Washington Times and Fox News, two organization with editorial dictates that align with the right, and both seem to generalize the events as...

Sweet, Sweet Hurricane Irony: Venezuala, governed by popular leftist Hugo Chavez, the man Rev. Pat "What Sixth Commandment?" Robertson wants to assassinate, was one of the first nations to offer the US aid after the Hurricane. Pat Robertson's "Operation Blessing" was listed as the FIRST...

Well there you go. Aussies are reasonable human beings. Can we import some of you before our next Presidential election?

Re: Anyone done a 4 drive, Cheetah, 36 gig, raid zero boot a Not important. There's nothing you could possibily be doing that would be so transfer intensive that you would need something like that.

DD, 1. Obtain some duct tape. 2. Wrap the lower area of your torse completely with said tape. 3. Yank vigorously 4. Repeat as needed.

Since I'd like to keep my job, I'm trying for the more socially accepted non-porn forms of malware.

That is an idea that I had, but the first few things I looked at didn't have links off site. I see now that in some cases doxdesk does link to offending sites. Thanks!

Given that they couldn't even provide public transportation out of the city for the poor, I'd say they didn't have very much of one.

Most of those viruses are Trojan Horses that are made expressly to install Spyware - that's how the ABC Scrabble payload works, for example. But again, I don't know where people pick those things up. Maybe non-filtered results from P2P software? IM spam?

Well I don't, either. Even the porn, which as we all know, is something I'm more than passingly familar with. There's a funny thing: Some of my "unsual suspects" of spyware vectors have cleaned up their act. iMesh used to be scumware armageddon. Version five installs nothing but imesh, far as I...

Sounds like an odd request, yes? And it's funny, too, because I know about three dozen people who seem to be able to get hundreds of spyware doo-dads installed on their computers no matter what I do to prevent it. But I'd like to create a Windows XP install with a ton of spyware already...

I can't believe anyone thought "Homeland Security" was anything but a political bullshit power-grab. No, really. Remember "Duct Tape" or the alert level going up every fucking time the Democrats were making news during the last election? Notice how many times the terror level has gone up since...

Well, I can't help but chime in on this one: the X-Mystique is GREAT for media applications. Jaw-dropping. I own three of them at this point (everywhere I can have surroundsound), and the fact that I was willing to blow $300 on sound cards might be very telling. BUT it probably isn't for you...

OK, installed CDex 1.60 beta1. No FLAC that I can see. I have the FLAC frontend. I can rip to .wav and convert it. But it seems really moronic that I should have to take more than one step, just to have have a boutique "lossless" format...

Mormons ARE weirdo kooks. Just read up on what they believe, and their history, and that much is clear. When I was at Purdue one of the guys who lived down the hall from me - an evangelical xtian - used to complain that the LDSers would send people to evangelize at "Intervaristy Christian...

NTFS compression is based on LZH (the compression used in .GIF files) and is very easy on CPU time - maybe extra CPU 5 - 10% utilization the first time a compressed folder is opened It's basically free, but since most common file types, less MSOffice files and NTUninstall directories, are also...

Ext3 is a little easier to recover if there's a problem. Reiser is faster. I'd say it's a push.

Don't suppose you're using 650MB discs? And did the MD5 check out for your ISO files?

I install it from DVD, myself. Less fuss all around.

Hm. Guess I should've updated from 1.51. Sechs, are you posting stuff on demonoid or is there another "sechs" out in the world someplace?

Utah, a state that is so overwhelmingly populated and ruled by Mormons that it might as well be a theocracy, rejects teaching ID.

Does anyone know of a decent program to rip CDs to FLAC. I realize I can probably screw around with EAC or CDex or something, but is there a program out there that just does it?

It might be cool to point out the CustomizeGoogle extension for Firefox, for when you're so spoiled by not seeing ads that even text ads bother you. Actually, you can mangle what google shows you in all kinds of cool ways. Might also be nice for people to know about the Filterset G...

I read comic books. About 25 titles a month, and probably another 25 that I read because someone is nice enough to scan and post them on the internet someplace. This week *two* of the titles I picked up explicitly declared certain characters are gay. In both cases, the books are about young...

I have a couple of those sitting at my ex's place. Well built cases, but very loud and heavy.

Is the X-Mystique awesome or what? It sounds like you had something happen that is very similar to what I've been dealing with for the last few years. I still haven't figured it out, either, but if you'd like to talk about it, at least you'll find a sympathetic ear...

I think the term that is presently correct is "Himbo". But I could be wrong about that. Anyway, David, I think the concern at issue is the depth of your affairs, and the counter-correlation to the length of those affairs. Personally, I'd say you're doing alright - but then, a few weeks ago I...

I rolled my own backup/syncing system for myself some time ago, but it's held up and actually scaled very well to the volume of data that I normally deal with.

Yes, NTbackup makes .bkf files. Tar makes .tbz files, but both work very well other than that. 'nix machines also have rsync, and someone has probably released a cygwin version of that. I really can't think of anything that I can't make the plain old Windows task scheduler + a batch file that...

I just noticed that Newegg.com has several varieties of X800 and X800Pro below the crucial $200 mark, and a few models even below $150. I suppose that means ATI is about to release a even newer and faster product, but when I was looking last week at X800s I couldn't find any for less than $180...

If they're on an NTFS volume you could always compress them to save about 40% of the space they take up. Or delete them, 'cause you probably won't ever uninstall a patch. Or tell Windows "no" when it asks if it can save system files in the first place.

2003 Server/A64 - ACPI Uniprocessor - 3 files XP Pro/AthlonXP -ACPI Uniprocessor - 3 files 2000 Pro/AthlonXP - ACPI PC - 3 files

The upgrade install didn't work? Or Mark's idea? The way I maintain my sysprep images is to build them out on whatever hot new Via/AMD platform I have handy, install software updates to software that needs 'em (adaware, firefox etc), prep that... let the machine reboot, then start an XP...

What do these programs do that ntbackup/Backup Exec or just a well written batch file doesn't?

If I remember right, Tin Mad Dog quit posting on storage review with 999 posts. I remember he liked to talk about guns a lot. I always suspected he just took just made himself a new nick. But, anyway, I'm personally glad for cold weather in Oz, since keeping Tannin in of doors ensures that...

Web log of a Network Admin working to restore Internet Service in New Orleans Pretty interesting reading.

Generally speaking, onboard audio is a really, really bad deal. It's fine if you just want IE to go "click" when you view a web page, but if you're going to listen to music, it's atrocious. The main problems are the AC97 specification itself, which among other things requires that all PCM...

VLK = Volume License Key. The kind you get for buying more than 5 copies of Windows at a time, that doesn't do activation. Sadly, I don't think it'll work with the key from a Dell...

According to the product manual, you have to have a 64bit OS to surpass 2TB on a single array. :(

Tin Mad Dog? Damn that nick sounds awfully familiar, albeit a little before my time on SR. Howdy!

Does this mean that you don't want my old stuff? I was thinking of a Soyo Via KT600 and an XP1600. I don't have any spare RAM at the moment. 1GB of 184pin runs about $80 right now... I don't know whether that would be doing you any favors.

That is correct. I run into that problem, too. I wind up doing my slipstreams on my classroom PCs. Do you want a slipstreamed disk? I can probably mail you a VLK one. My one retail disk has a big ol' scratch on it.

Hm... Well, is it stupid? Asus tried something similar a while back, with a board that could handle a slot 1, socket 7 or socket 8 CPU. I worked on one of those once. That didn't seem completely stupid at the time. As this is implemented, it looks moronic. But mostly because switching to the...

I read from the book of Armaments, verses nine through Twenty-Two:

More fun stuff. This from Britain's Guardian, but I found it on BoingBoing...

Not if you do an "Upgrade" install while Windows is running.

I see no reason not to blame GWB and his party. I can't believe the free passes that President Fuckhead gets in the media. Heard anything about Rove and Valerie Plame lately?

Your manager sounds like he needs to be taken out and beaten. And I can affirm that Promise SXx000s suck at RAID5. I've tried the 4000 and the 6000 at different times and they were both abysmal.
