As expected, Clocker and Handruin are both much better than I am. :(

Solaris. I read Lem's novel when I was in college, in a "Literary Science Fiction" class. The movie basically covers the book's major plot points and not much else. But... 1. It is beyond gorgeous to look at. The DP and the art director both deserve real credit for their work. 2. The score...

I just bought a substantial number of Optorite (Sony) drives for $130 apiece. Newegg. ZIP disks are the antithesis of a long term storage option. Zip disks are for data you don't like. Seriously. For IDE, remember that you can get 3 80GB drives for the cost of a decent 36GB 10k SCSI unit...

Email me the doc and I'll put your problem in front of about five MOS Masters. :)

No consumer electronics are made to last. You know better than that. From examination, I can even say that Pioneer's inexpensive jukeboxes are identical to Onkyo's high-end megachangers (there might be some differences in internal components, but since the shipping weights are within a few...

Certain revisions of LG firmware have the microcode for the ATAPI "Query for Writable State" set to the same thing as "Firmware flash". So, during Mandrake's install, when it checks to see if you've got a burner, and even if you don't, it goes "poof". Updating to the new firmware on LG's site...

I'll try

You can create multiple DNS name entries for different IPs. 200x's DNS will send requests to alternate IPs.

Yes to both.

I found mine through froogle.com. A yahoo store. It was $380 including the shipping. Not bad when I think about how much I paid for my first DVD jukebox. Also, Sony jukeboxes, in one of their great redeeming qualities - I'm not a fan of Sony electronics but in this case no one else has a...

That's characteristic of DVD players that are dead or dying. I'm sure you've run into the same thing with CD players that don't read CDs any more and CD burners that lose their ability to burn. Fortunately, your new DVD player will cost a lot less than your old one. :) Since burners are also...

Is someone making a Mac-compatible SATA controller? A brand new X15 for a G3 is probably overkill, but knowing Greg's position on IDE disks, I think it's better that way than dealing with the inconsistencies of the Raptor (the whole "some are louder" and "some are faster" issues that have no...

So y'all know that google can do math, right? ... and that it can find addresses based on phone number (at least in the USA)? Well, the smart guys at Google have also added a "define" keyword, for picking up quicky word definitions.

I've seen Kill Bill four times now. The strange thing is, I was the only person in the theater at two of the showings, and every showing I've been to, there's been less than a dozen people. I don't think the residents of the Hoosier state get it. To be honest, it's not on the same level with...

Which has 20/20 players at the moment, and a tendency to kick me if I act as a spectator for more than 30 seconds... Blake's is free today. What's your Steam ID, anyway?

I downloaded and took a look. I hate to say "Self Fulfilling Prophesy" but the local stoner/headshop/used CD place has more classical stuff, and their collection fits in four shoeboxes.

Spent most of the day at the vet's. Bugging the crap out of the staff, no doubt. Gracie's had three blood transfusions since yesterday (two from the same donor, the third from a different cat - now we need MASSIVE steroid doses to keep her from having a reaction). Her red cell count was about 3%...

The tools at this site work well enough. I've been through what you're doing before. If you need more instructions let me know.

She's 3. Not nearly old enough to be sick like this.

I hate to appropriate CityK's thread but it's probably more appropriate than starting another. I got up at my usual 5:45ish this morning. My cat Gracie wasn't on my bed. Which is unusual, because Gracie is almost always on my bed. She's a snuggling cat who has her own side of my bed and a...

In the past - before Samba was the triumph of the free software world (1996ish) - I did some work with Intergraph Diskshare and PC-NFS. It worked, but Samba is about a billion times better, and is free.

OK. I'm glad neither of us are crazy. :)

I'm looking for a series-1 unit with upgraded AV outputs. I haven't found one yet. I've dagtag, if you've seen Mystic River and enoyed it, please to explain the %#%%$ing weirdo ending.

SmartMedia, I think.

I *know* that much. I'm thinking more about the old European flavor. For example: a lot of movies nowadays film in Prague to simulate Victorian London.

If you all are interested, I'd more more than willing to share some of my favorite music with anyone interested. I love classical music, and it's a real thrill to find someone else who enjoys the same music I do. It's a hackney'd choice, but there's a reason "La Boheme" is one of the few operas...

I don't drink alcohol at all. Frankly, I don't know how you guys stand it, from the way it smells. Is Estonia one of those European conutries that looks like nothing's changed since the late Renaissance? Or has it a more modern flavor?

Re: Mercutio... Coug, I've never had a social life to begin with. As I understand things, this is not a normal human condition. I don't believe I'm autistic, but I do think I probably have asperger's syndrome or some similar condition. Also: Hi dagtag. Welcome. It's a little weird that...

I'm sure there will be the usual performances of Puccini and Verdi. Those are great for beginners, since they nearly all contain one great aria or duet.

The ones I've run into most recently are those newish 7000-series models from HP, but in the past I've also met a lot of inkjets that for example wouldn't print in color or would only print at a fraction of their dpi-rating. My rule with Linux is"only use laser printers" but every once in awhile...

Touche. We try to make folks feel welcom, of course. We *do* tend to raise a glass when we see newcomers, and some have joined us, who were not first visitors to SR. So it isn't impossible. Newcomer-posts really aren't overlooked, either. We get very curious about the new guys, as they come in...

Soft RAID1 has always been OK on NT/2000. It's the other ones that lead to interesting combinations of swear words. The 3ware card offers parallelized reads, which unlike soft-RAID, do provide a modest boost to read performance. If I had the option, I'd probably use the 3ware card for that reason.

Let's keep it on a computer topic for the RAM. Yes, I am serious about this. I'll ship it anywhere in the world.

I'm not a Mozart fan, but I do own the recent Levine recording on DG. It is pretty good. It's got your basic all-star cast (Bartoli, Domingo, Terfel) and a great orchestra and conductor and the recording itself is up to DG's usual standards. Again, I'm not much for Mozart. There may be a pretty...

I'll even one-better that. First person to come up with a decent article of say, 1000 words (e.g. a decent Tannin-sized rant, or about 3 pages) on a topic of interest to SF's members, I'll buy a new 256MB stick of Crucial PC3200.

Article-writing is occasionally discussed here. There's certainly a wide array of interesting topics scattered about this place, e.g. 1. Handruin's up-close-and-personal work with EMC SAN equipment 2. Fushigi's iSeries knowledge 3. Several members with serious A/V fetishes (HTPC, video...

IIRC NDIS is an open spec, so it probably wasn't that hard to write such a wrapper. I'd love to see something similar that would fix the high levels of obnoxiousness involved in setting up a semi-supported inkjet printer or a scanner under Linux.

That's a good question timwhit. The best thing you could do, however, is post a few new topics if you have time. I note that we get a lot of spectators here, people who drop by and read everything but never post. That would be OK except... why did those people log in? I don't want to have...

Er, no. In those five years, I was close to her and cared about her very much, but at that time, there were also limits e.g. we didn't give each other birthday presents or or get involved in one another's family responsibilities. This is observably similar to the friendships between most other...

adriel has pockets in his pants but he's not allowed to use them?

It sounds like you did everything you could. Tyler was obviously loved and well cared for; you did more for him than anyone else would've done. It's sad to hear of your loss, CityK.

I thought it might be a bit much at the time, but honestly, if it were, I would've expected someone to say something about it. No one did for a very long time.

In public life - that outside my domecile - I can state with absolute certainty that I have found very little in the way of "good times". I've described this to therapists as being "constitutionally incapable of having a good time".

Nope. Default for "Default Web Site" to listen on 80 for all interfaces, as long as the server and the site are both running (I think they are, or you wouldn't be able to connect internally). You don't have any Remote Access Policies in place that might keep routing from happening, do you? Why...

Does your host have a static or dynamic IP? Is the hostname registered with DNS? Are you using DDNS? Is HTTPd configured to use the internet interface, or are your internal IPs all non-routable? Is the server you're trying to reach on port 80? Inquiring minds want to know.

How often does that happen? Annually? Bi-annually? How long should those last? Seconds? Minutes?

"Two Roads Diverged in a Yellow Wood..." At this point, I don't think I care what the real world is. The moment I look away from a computer screen or the pages of my books, the moment I turn down my music and listen to something not generated by the stacks of electronics that surround me, I...

Chicken farms are a billion times worse. I'm not kidding. Until age 14 I lived in Central Illinois farm country. Cow crap you get used to. Pig crap you get used to. Chicken farms from 1/2 mile away smell worse than being sprayed by a skunk.

Well, I'll be around most of the evening.

Oh yeah: :P
