Given that Moz and Opera both scroll, it's entirely possible that scrolling is the "correct" behavior.

Fithian, Illinois. About 20 miles east of Urbana. My house was across a mile of cornfields from 74, and when peeople broke down along the little stretch of town they'd invariably walk through the fields and ask to use our phone.

Sunsets over the cornfield, framed by trees out my west-facing bedroom window. Legos. My cats. Growing up I had three. One a kitten I stopped to pet on the way home from my first day as a second-grader. She followed me home and sat outside my bedroom and cried for three months until my parents...

It's happily (and quietly - a good quality in a year-old DM40+) whirring away in Amy's PC. It replaced an original 9GB Barracuda ATA that was just too much of a pain to keep cool. The 'Cuda is now part of my "data transfer toolkit" and lives in the trunk of my car with all my other tools.

I'm pretty sure that was a re-issue. I think the "original" recording of Tabula Rasa was Gil Shaham but of course it might've been Kramer and I'm certain it was released back in the 80s. I was a weird little kid. Anyway, the choral works: Miserere, Litany, his Magnifcat and his Beatus and the...

That's just bad, Cliptin. Actually he's Ira Glass's cousin. Talented family.

Who in their right mind would need more than 4 ATAPI drives?

1000 posts just means I've posted 1000 times. It's not a race and for damn sure it's not like a "first among equals" thing. I really didn't notice until about two minutes ago that I'd actually passed 1000 posts. I thought I was still in the upper 900s someplace. Anyway, thanks for what it's...

I'm looking at dates for composition, of course. Most of the tintinnabuli pieces (as opposed to the early 12-tone stuff) is mid-70s or early 80s in origin. The newer choral works are really the best pieces, though, IMHO. I picked up an early Pärt recording on BIS in 1988 though, so it isn't like...

[Really off-place joke that I feel the need to make] Everybody calm down or I'm checking *all* your IPs. [/Really off-place joke that I feel the need to make] OK. Really. The motto here is to treat everyone with respect. Take up arms against the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in...

Behave. Both of you. Don't call me a heavy hitter. That's silly. If you want a quality multi-channel card for RAID, look at 3ware. If all you need is an extra place to hang a JBOD of 5400rpm drives, hey, that's why we like Promise (well, not like. Tolerate with only occasional cursing).

Two of my favorite pieces of 1970s music are Arvo Pärt's "Für Alina" and Henryk Gorecki's 3rd Symphony (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs). Not that my selections are what you had in mind...

There's cool stuff at the Petrillo music shell in Grant Park almost every weekend in the summer, timwhit. I saw the Barenboim and the CSO (well, Grant Park SO but probably it was 80% CSO members) do Beethoven's 9th for free a few years ago. The next weekend it was a Jazz group and I know they...

I think the Redhill collective was trying for a triple play. In a bit of history that should probably go in the "Madhouse" thread, Tony Wilson was first a fixture on SR. After Tony's 1000th post (or some other milestone), Tannin was born and became the nick of choice. Some time later, due to a...

So did I.

I have a completely different appreciation for the material since I started teaching it (I teach A+ and Network+ classes a couple times a week and also the odd "Build a Computer" or "Troubleshooting" class). We take a lot of these things for granted. We can see how everything fits together...

If you're doing "server class IDE", the magic word is 3Ware. A $225 3Ware 7410 4-channel (one drive per channel!), 64-bit PCI card will do what you need.

Let's not talk about ego-crushing right now, OK? Someone mentioned a portion of the Beautitudes (Blessed are the meek...) above. Personally the sentiment from that particular work (and I say this as an unbeliever) I find most beautifully expressed is "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall...

Let's do this right, a bit. The history of this site can be found elsewhere but it boils down to the simple notion that a dozen or so of soon-to-be SR expatriots needed a better way to talk than CCing emails. Handruin started Storageforum. The rest of us followed. At the moment, Tannin is in...

I might consider that a compliment.

You'll have to get a licensed copy of Mac OS for your Performa. I imagine they probably go pretty cheaply on Ebay. Probably OS 8.6 is a good choce. Seems to me that's about the right vintage for that hardware and I know 8.6 is considered the best of its version number. OS9 is probably too new to...

If you don't understand, Prof, what I mean is that there is a ritual to dealing with people in a business or professional setting. Things are polite and there is a ritual standard of behavior. Most other social interactions don't have that and I find I'm overwhelmed.

This is probably a good start.. Stay around Arne. We can always use more people to talk to. :)

The last of those happens to me from time to time. I also had to duct tape my ups-es to the wall. My boy cat found out recently that I like to "play" after he puts his paws between the oddly shaped UPS plug and the wall, then rolls away from the wall. *beep beep beep* "damn cat I'm gonna..."...

Groltz, were you the anti-Trinton? I do not have an alias (except this one). I never have. I don't much care for my real first name and I've always gone by nicknames anyway. At any rate, there is a justification for this thread. A lot of what is shared by the folks here is history is...

Amy and I have an odd relationship. Amy has said she treasures me for being the person I was in high school when we met, and for being the person I am now, who literally makes sure that she doesn't have anything to worry about except her schooling (she's second in her class, so that's working...

My belief was that three would be sufficient as well. The counter argument to that was that, with five mods there would be "more coverage"; the "Many Hands Make Short Work" philosophy. I think 'round the clock coverage is a rough goal. In any case our next moderator should probably be someone...

Thanks for advice, all. I'm really sorry to bring this here but under the circumstances I've been asked to keep this to myself in "real life" and some things, one just can't keep a lid on forever. In case there's any confusion, my self-destructive urges are more along the lines of "picking...

My hope was that the Giver was a distinct entity, Bill. That is something I had been convinced of up to the point I actually looked. For those who do not know, one of the powers moderators have is to check IP addresses. I obviously didn't widely distribute what I learned from that particularl...

The Giver said some things to various people here such that if Bill wanted to continue to say, I felt he should at least be honest enough to live one life or the other. Given my real-world situation, it was something I just didn't want to let stand.

Tell me it ended well.

Mozilla 1.0 = Very stable. Awesome, configurable email client, amazing privacy handler and yes, the popup killer and image blocking. Very fast for me. I think it's faster than IE, anyway. I don't care for tabs, though. I'd just ratheer not browse in tabs. I'd rather have the space on-screen...

For those who really, really want to know why I haven't been coming around much in the last few weeks: Don't read if you're offended or don't want to know something about my personal life Amy, my fiance, the woman I have devoted my whole life to, in every possible way, told me a few weeks...

FTP doesn't have a complex enough command interpreter for that. You'll need an actual shell (csh, ksh whatever) to get some real intelligence.

If you have permissions sufficient to change a filename, you can delete that file. The two "classical" solutions to "undeletable files" on Unix systems are to either delete through the use of well-chose wildcards, or to reference the full path to the file starting from the root directory. Both...

That's why screws should be used for everything, Tannin.

TweakUI for XP - available from annoyances.org if you can't find it on the MS site - has a "Rebuild Icons" function. There are other ways to do it but that's by far the easiest.

Tea - setting up NAT (network address translation; ICS done right) on a Linux box is as easy as editing a couple of files. Setting up routing isn't hard, either. When you get around to playing with Linux on your gateway machine. Either way, there's tons of stuff on google about doing it.

The really evil words in all this are "Per Seat License". That doesn't sound like any Linux I'd want to use. I'll be sticking to RedHat (the major distro not involved in all this).

No idea why I'm reading this thread but, yes, Tea, you can have multiple NICs in a single machine. Several of my PCs have two already. Anyway, you're going to have to set up routing on your dual-NIC machine to get the xBaseT to talk to the 10Base2 (coax) that everything else you're going to...

I love living in a place where less than $100 buys me 80GB of disk space. :)

Well, Clocker was OT:Police. And he was well known for restraint. I believe this is the rare form of humor known as sarcasm.

I did, didn't I? I could've said "German", although at the time my ancestors left Bavaria it was still its own country. My family had some kind of titular ranking (Graf?) in Bavaria. I don't know much about it.

<smack> And yes, with an aunt as interested in Geneology as mine, I can find out who was banging my many-times great grandmother. The simple answer is my many-times great-grandfather. :) But seriously, if you're into that sort of thing, there are more geneological resources online that one can...

You have your jokes, and I have mine. :P And I'd just like to say that Flagreen should be sentenced to two weeks running NT4 on a 386 with 12MB RAM for that last comment.

Just to correct PeeWee (again), NRG is a guy with greek ancestry living in the UK (I think). The only I-talian I can remember on SR/SF are PeeWee (who is also greek) himself and Christiano Salvadori.

You actually made it through an entire episode of Seinfeld without losing your lunch? I have newfound respect for you, Sol.

Maybe we could take up a collection and do a month or two of google adwords or something. I'm proud of this place and I wish more people knew about it.

From dictionary.com: jock2 Pronunciation Key (jk) n. An athletic supporter. Sports. An athlete, especially in college. Slang. One characterized by excessive concern for machismo. [Short for jockstrap.] -- I meant it in the last sense. Personally I'm not too fond of that type of individual.

You either need a dediccated uplink port or a crossover cable for that.
