Actually - and this probably violates a EULA of some kind - it strikes me that a gmail account could very easily be used for a file cache for SF users.

slaker1@yahoo.com I'll be using them for storage space.

I would have to be paid to accept Opera in any version I have ever tried.

I'll take 12 from whomever. Yes, I'm serious.

To search google from the address bar: Make a new bookmark: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%s Set the keyword to something simple. I use "g" To search, type "g searchterm" e.g. g boobies -bird Which will hopefully return many results of the non-lame kind.

As I said above, I think it would be icky as a HTPC device. Yes, there are USB sound doohickies for the Mac, but what a horrible kludge for something that's so damned small! And downloading HD Video? Do you have any idea how big those files are? With a 40GB drive? Huh-uh. I don't see it. Nope.

I've seen malware .XPIs. Firefox prompts and asks if you want to install "eviladware666.xpi" from "XXXcocainewarezandstrippers.com". Puts a big window at the top of your screen, that you have to click on to even click on to find out the site wants to install something. The moron who has...

Generally speaking, if I partook of satan's leavings, it was from a large retail establishment, since those are basically the only brand that's sold at retail a lot of places. Best Buy has gotten better, though, and now I can choose from Hitachi or three other sucky brands.

Do Brits really understand/care/watch the super bowl? Wow. It's even worse than I thought.

Oddly enough, I'm installing Suse 9.2 on an Athlon 64. The first thing it did when I told it to install was bring up a window with the title "Cool Computer but..." and "You are about to install 32-bit software on a 64-bit computer" as its contents. Well, OK. It made me laugh.

Well, here is a decent place to start.. Making a listener that monitors something on a serial port should be something that a EE type could probably whip up in about 20 minutes.

I dunno. Those Spider-man cartoons my tivo picked up for me were pretty cool. MTV would probably be OK if they'd just start showing boobies. Or at least more of the ass-shaking-chicks-in-thongs that are on the Spanish channels and BET every time I channel surf through them. To reiterate...

Is there some part of this thread that's in a language I understand?

I refuse to believe that Mr. Right Wing Flagreen in fact had a mother. :P

Well, I'm slightly put off by only being able to set partitions or disks as immutable, but I understand why that is. I'm thinking that I'll give this software a go for one of my more troublesome clients ("XXXdialer?!? Boy does that sound like fun!") This might be absolutely perfect if it...

The 3GB switch will work, or you can move the application to an "Enterprise" version of NT Server, which use 3GB/1GB by default. I'm under the impression that you'd have to move up to something Opertonish to get actual 64-bit memory addressing.

Ugh. I feel dirty now. I need a shower.

The fact that the majority of the political parties in the Iraqi election did not release the actual names of their candidates "for security reasons" suggests otherwise.

A place to start.

The only goal should have been to not have the war in the first place. Free elections in a conquored nation are bullshit when there was no valid reason to conquor the nation in the first place.

You need to stop getting your ideas about what other people think from Fox news, RW. In my opinion the war was entirely unjustified. There is no evidence of a link between Al Queda and Iraq. There were no WMDs - as UN Inspectors said, despite what members of the administration claim. Hussein...

Hey, speaking of despotic leaders mistreating their rebellious citizens... has anyone noticed what Putin's been doing in Russia lately? I'm sure there's a Reagan-era conservative with a hard-on for the push past St. Petersburg SOMEWHERE in the present administration. Too bad Putin and King...

Whoops. Also I did finally get my junction point to work properly at the Documents and Settings level. I can literally format the partition with the OS installed, recover from a ghost image and be back - with all user profile information 100% intact and undisturbed and still appearing to be on...

The programs that come with the recovery console are the only programs that work in the recovery console. TweakUI can move "My Documents" but not the whole of "Documents and Settings"

Has anyone tried this program or heard anything about it?

Not as I can tell. The main problem is that to use mount points, the underlying directory needs to be empty. Docs and settings is NEVER empty - at least "All Users" and "Default Users" will always be there. So, I tried these instructions and found that they kind of work, but some of the stuff...

I just found this. It scratches a particular itch I've had for a bit.

If you're running X, any modern Linux install should automount a USB drive for you.

I'm pretty much catch-as-catch-can on Adblock filters, actually. Using a hosts file and also only allowing images from originating servers seems to get most things I consider annoying.

Every sport can be made better with the addition of land mines.

Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. phpBB is a perfect example of a LAMP application, but there are dozens if not hundreds on freshmeat.net

PM me. I've found VPC useless for installing Linux. I'm not saying it can't be done just that I couldn't make a goddamned thing work properly. VMware works much better for, oh, everything, but in this case there are three things that I am going to say. 1. You don't need to be messing with...

At this point my standard disk images (am I the only person with a Sysprep for every occasion?) have all traces of IE, Outlook, OE, and any messenger software removed or at least as hidden as I can make them. PCs are prepped with Firefox as the default browser, Thunderbird as the default mail...

You mean a procedure that actually works every time? Start an upgrade install of Windows XP. After the first reboot, shut the machine down and swap the motherboard. The mini-setup routine will properly re-select the proper kernel and allow the correct drivers to load. I've done what Buck...

Most of that is my class. The learning to cope with just the command line is the main thrust of the class though, and where I'd suggest you spend your time. Don't even install X. Or just interact with Linux through Putty. That will give you reason enough to learn the command line and how to...

I'd suggest the following: 1. Installing update packages with a. rpm files b. TGZ files c. make (i.e. compiling from source) 2. Compiling and installing an updated kernel 3. Installing an configuring samba 4. Learning to function entirely from the console 5. Installing webmin 6. Installing and...

I found this. The card supports RAID 0, 1 and 10, but I'm just going to configure the PC to do software RAID. I think I'd be happy with 4x 250s, personally. The "cheapest 8 port" cards would up the price on my proposed server by 50%.

This is what I came up with in speccing a Terabyte "server" today: Via KM266 motherboard + Sempron 2200 = $90 Speeze "Bigrock" fan = $7 256MB RAM = $32 CD-RW = $26 Case with decent HEC 420W PSU = $52 4x 7k250 SATA @ $135 = $540 Samsung 80GB Boot drive = $60 4-port Sil SATA controller = $30...

Found on a packet of Taco Bell "Fire" Border Sauce: "Nice palm. I read a great deal of pleasure in your future."

Yes. Yes I do.

I have no idea what would make it THAT slow. I've had to delete lock files in the past, but this clearly isn't that problem. It's happening on multiple clients, but did you try a transfer from a client in "Safe Mode with Networking" to rule out something running on both the client machines...

There are lots and lots of reasons samba might be performing poorly. Have you googled for and read about Samba performance tuning?

But then you might as well rent porn, and that's a different sort of recommendation entirely.

Or Gia, if you can find a copy of that, she's naked a lot there, too.

Go rent Pushing Tin. There's plenty of Jolie-related non-clothes-wearing scenes in that. Personally, I'm not that impressed.

I've had bad experiences with every nforce chipset thusfar. Problems with IDE, or boards being picky WRT RAM. Volume control issues with the MCP, stability problems when nforce2s are paired with XP3200s. Taken as a whole, the flaws I have seen in the nforce chipsets might be acceptable in an...

Just remember: At least you live in a country that HAS a socialized health care system. In the US you'd probably just get a $10,000 bill and your insurance company - not a doctor - would decide whether or not it was necessary and therefore whether or not to pay that bill.

Disappointing that it's an nforce4.

John Madden will have this year's "wardrobe malfunction", thereby scarring an entire generation of youth in a way that Janet Jackson's nipple just could not manage.
