Now we know what you do with that DSL line. James, I should probably mod you for the above. Illegal link in a public forum. We're really looking for an excuse to moderate something anyway. :) Anyway, I'm really happy with Ghost v5. the one I paid for. I use it all the time and so far, I...

If I wasn't encoding video much of the time, I'd have some machines to throw in as well. Maybe I could throw in some of the machines at the training company where I work instead. Would 16 K6-3/450s crunching for 12 hours or so a week actually be helpful, though? I wouldn't run it when I wasn't...

I have a Gigabyte GA-7VRXP with USB2. About half the shipping KT333 boards seem to have it. Firewire is undeniably cool; being able to do cool stuff like video editing directly between two cameras is really awesome. I'd feel a lot better about 1394 if it was an onboard standard. The other...

The motherboard in my game machine has the 1st-generation NEC/Via USB2 chip. :( Yeah. I'm waiting for Clocker to ship his 10GB DM40+ out to me so I have a good spare drive from which to run tests. Although, now that I think about it, I don't have a copy of Winbench, either. Never much cared to...

Had to buy a USB2 enclosure today. Well, I didn't have to. But I got an expense authorization for one, so I did. So I have a USB2 enclosure and a USB2 controller. I stuck an old 13GB 5400rpm Maxtor drive I had laying around in it. Let me tell you: It's fast. Fast enough to make me forget I'm...

RE: Screwing up ghost. Well, it's been done. I noticed today that there are now three different versions of ghost. Ghost Personal edition, which, among other flaws, won't write an image to a network drive. There's also the latest OEM release, which is Ghost Personal Edition spread across two...

PPPPPPPbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbt. I don't use SuSE. I never have. Nor KDE3, although I have it installed (just a couple days ago, in fact). There are folks on SR (Hungarian) who swear by it. Personally I stick with RedHat. KDE is a very comfy place for beginners assuming you have a pure KDE...

Which is different for me... how? Even if your tax laws are as goofy as those in the states, 50% is 50%.

Plain text is always an improvement. What happened to Hercules was a damn shame. At one point, I swore by Hercules cards as surely as I swear by Matrox now. Their stuff was the best you could buy. Now they're an undifferentiated nobody. Speaking of "undifferentiated nobodies", did anyone else...

We don't all have broadband here, either. As I understand things, in Canada, every tiny little town has some kind of broadband PoP. Universal free healthcare, good beer, broadband everywhere. Oh. And anyone working overtime in Canada gets paid for it. Even those on salary. If I could handle the...

Yes. I put whatever comes with the motherboard on the machines I build, but I don't enable it. Instead I have a nice HTML document that shows them step-by-step how to enable it or remove it. Lately I've taken to adding a Housecall quick button on IE and Mozilla (I install both), too.

My standard link is www.diydatarecovery.nl Lots of good stuff there. If you're really desperate, you can find copies of Lost and Found or Ontrack's product if you *ahem* look.

One of Amy's friends from school was having problems with her iMac. Stupid problems, as in she didn't know to work OS X. So I had to show her how to get the OS9 personality going so things looked more familiar to her (once I figured it out). Anyway, she let me take the bottom off the base. I...

Time to break out data recovery software, i. You might also try using a non-retarded fdisk. Disk Manager in 2000 works, so does the fdisk from Linux. Other than that, the best you can do is try data recovery software.

Couple of years ago I was on a job moving servers from one location to another. Lots and lots of servers. 70 or 80, I think. We could only move a couple machines at a time, and only on weekends (no interruption in service). At first we were just taking the machines down, unplugging everything...

So where is your residence for the purpose of taxation?

I didn't know I was such an early adopter... When I look at the value I deliver with KT333 boards (both the ones I've seen have at least USB2 onboard) compared to the price difference, roughly $15 over the KT266A, I see a win for the new guy. I can't really say anything bad about it, but of...

I am about to say something in extremely poor taste, which nonetheless must be said. Amy will give you a fight on that one, CougTek

I'm Green! I became a moderator 27 days ago., and I noticed Doug finally got around to shoving my responsibility on to me. Mercutio-Brand Moderation: 25% cheaper than the competition. :) +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ + ACT NOW FOR ONE...

DDR333 was finalized earlier this month. I've been buying Samsung-branded (chip + PCB, with a sticker on it that says Samsung) PC2700 RAM for KT333 builds. Mostly because that's the only standards-conforming PC2700 I've found. It is a small step up from regular old DDR. Slightly contrary to...

F-prot for DOS is free and works pretty well, but it doesn't help you for NTFS partitions. I carry a copy around when I need a good tool. Also, every virus scanner worth any amount of money will run a scan and tell you if you have a virus during the install process, which is helpful. You don't...

Well, I'd pick castration over anything actually running on my machines. But that's why I tolerate housecall, since at least I don't have to keep it running all the time. I scan all my machines by mounting all their drives (and those of file shares with Windows files) through the machine...

Who? Me? All I see is four lines of text.

Well, there isn't a WBAM in Chicago for one thing. That story is a variation on a old story that used to be told about "The Dating Game" or "The Newlywed Game" game shows in the US. Not that it isn't still funny.

Mozilla blithely ignores off-server images, so unless I'm someplace where there's a faster internet connection and no Mozilla (ie working), I don't see them.

Aussies are that polite? I almost can't go to a job without learning new descriptive phrases for PCs. My personal favorite clueless term is "modem" (even more funny when there isn't even a modem in the computer being referred to). I call them boxes. Even idiots know what I'm talking about that...

Not yet. Believe me, I'm taking good care of it, although I haven't shot many images with it yet. The interface is a little clunky compared to my Kodak, too. For what it's worth, I'd rather have a manual focus than automatic. I've had entirely too many pictures ruined after composition by a...

I've been playing Mechwarrior4, actually. Mechwarrior2 was by far the best in the series but Amy and I have worked through about a third of the single-player missions in network play. At least it's co-op. I ran out to the places I normally buy games. Couldn't find Serious Sam. Billions of...

Lessee... Princess County Rd. 27. I don't think that one works for me, for some reason. Booker Hemlock? That one's OK, I guess. Will Glenwood? Well, that one's pretty WASP-y but at least it Amy's would be "Spooky Hendricks". Which I think sounds like somebody in a Max Hardcore...

In Bill's Moderator console?

Somehow, the word "D'Oh" is more appropriate than usual.

Ignoring the native beauty of Tannin's hometown (that garden is spectacular), that last batch of images - the P5 reflected in the platter and the AMD 386, are both really outstanding photographs.

Wow, if Seagate keeps up this trend, someday everything they make will be a U6. :) OK. Now that I've given you all nightmares, I have to say that's a really crappy thing to do. First of all there's basically zero market for 7200rpm SCSI any more, and there are plenty of Barracuda SCSI drives...

Almost. Blaze Starr. And yes, that story is true. The photos I've seen suggest to me that she was certainly hot stuff (and given that we're talking about 70-year-old pictures, that's saying something). I can post one if you'd like. ;) Expert? Moi?

I'm not going to argue 'Mooseshit'. That one's pretty good. I think the aussies among us might be better off with "Koalashit" or "Dingoshit" instead. Poor Tannin doesn't type so fast. We don't need to make it any harder for him. :)

Well, Yellow/Orange like the colour in the logo would probably be reasonable.

Have you had any problems with your LiteOn being "picky" in the media it burns to yet?

No. VESA was a 32-bit extension to the 16-bit ISA spec clocked at the full speed of the system bus, unlike ISA or EISA. It was plug and play, at least in that there was very little additional hardware configuration needed, unlike ISA. Theoretical transfer rates could actually [i]exceed[i]...

Well, either Kev has a seriously high opinion of himself, or a fondness for Swedish porno. ;) But, uh, nope, nothing in the message about fixing it. Either way. Drive's paid for.

I'll paypal in a bit. You email address isn't really "@hotmale.com, is it? 'cause that's what it is in the E-mail you sent.

I had seen it before, but it was posted on slashdot the other day.

If you believe this stuff, you probably need your head examined.

So where is Kristi? Besides Australia. We already knew that part.

Hm. At least I carry it well. Personally I think y'all should skip the smokes and the wine. But I hear Heroin is helpful for weight-loss. :P

Using any recent ATI card to cap, you shouldn't be losing more than a hand's worth of frames in a capture of anything up to 4MB/sec, unless you're sitting there doodling around on the PC while you cap. The best thing to do is to open the video in something like Virtualdub that displays the...

Chris Farley? Is that what that is? What is it that you sell, anyway? Weight loss: Hm. I need that, too. By Tannin's standards I'm clearly enormous.

I'll give you $30 for it if you don't get any other offers. I'm just looking for something to throw in a USB enclosure. I can't quite see $40 when 20GB drives are $47 shipped.

Did I miss something or did that not help?

Dell is using P4m's right? I ran into a WinBook P4 today that had a desktop P4 in it. You couldn't keep it on your legs - it was too hot. The bottom of that thing had to be 160 degrees F. I can only hope that was from heat being dissipated away from CPU. I hit techbargains and some other...

You just have to import the dynamic disk in Disk Manager. It's an utterly painless process.
