I just pulled a 6000+ from my home system, and it didn't seem to run that hot (no official tests were run). I have it sitting around if you are interested.

Only because I believe if you can't do it right, don't try. I know they won't get it right, so I just want them to leave damn well alone.

Macs are a horrible pain in the ass. They are simply a further extension of the Windows mindset. Everything that they think you want is in the front, and everything they don't think you need is buried a mile deep in some illogical hole.

I guess I'm just not a power user. I never have FF crash or even slow down. I've been using it exclusively since 1.07 and it has always just worked.

Indeed. Especially geeks. California is without a doubt the place to be. Houston (where I am now), on the other hand, isn't. At "Bush International Airport" they actually make announcements that if you make rude comments to police they will arrest you. Who didn't figure that out on their own?

256MB? Not much. If it were at least a gig or two I would put photoshop scratch disks on it.

I'm right here, and I feel lonely.

The only way To see more RAM is to use a 64 bit OS.

The trick is, they are all "official" geeks. I'm the only one without at least one PhD in the whole crowd. Does this make me less of a geek?

Everyone in my Tango group is a geek. The instructor is a laser geek, an assistant is a materials science geek, other regulars are AI geeks and robot geeks. But they are also all Tango geeks. We'll get together for a "practice" and never play any music at all, obsessing about a single...

I've recently had great luck with SelfImage. Open-source, very simple, and it seems powerful (though I've only used it in drive-to-drive and drive-to-image modes).

I'm stuck and could use some help. This is a paying gig, but I need some help now.

Wow. I have mine set to max performance as well. Perhaps I should be looking at a firmware update?

I hate SonicWall. Could they have made it any more complicated? I still haven't figured out how to do NAT translation...

My array is about the same size. It maxed out at around 350MB/sec.

Looks interesting. I'll try to play with it while I'm on "vacation". Thanks.

Tony, Why aren't you planning on imaging your 80GB drive to a 160GB one? If the install is good, then don't bother changing it.

Yup. GPT is GUID partition table (IIRC). It works well with larger arrays. Mine uses it and it works really well. How are you liking the 9650SE-16ML? I love mine, it is a beast.

Unfortunately, my favorite Smoothwall doesn't support multiple internet connections. I need the following: 1. Support for multiple WANs (load balancing preferable to fail-over, Static and PPPoE) 2. Site-to-Site VPN tunnels 3. Content Filtering (Dans Guardian or similar) 4. Web interface Help?

Sounds like a plan. How is the used PC parts market there? Here you take quite a hit, particularly with hard drives.

There is no server room, it's under a coffee table in the corridor next to the aquarium. It won't be there for long, the wiring guy is coming tomorrow, but that is where I was working. The whole time I was there the fan from the old server was driving me crazy, it was so loud. Finally the moment...

What part? And why don't you do it anymore?

Yes, in a row on a single project, without leaving their office. The total was 40 hours of billable time in under 48 total, but I took a nap in my car for a few hours.

Nope, just regular old hourly rate. But logging 30 hours in a day will do you good regardless. Furthermore, even on the back side of a 40-hour work stint I was able to sell myself to a new client. I've worked more in the last 3 days than I had in the last 3 months! Business is getting good again!

I'm sure somewhere around 5AM when the hallucinations started I met her near the water cooler ;)

No one on in the middle of a Sunday night? Darn... I know! I'll create a second identity, and have conversations with myself! What an original thought... Meh. Back to work.

Pulling another unanticipated all-nighter. 1. Came in here this morning to troubleshoot a slow connection. 2. Notice that the workstations are full of spyware/viruses. 3. Notice that the server is the most hosed SBS2k3 install I've ever seen. 4. Notice that there are no backups. A. Build new...

Winter ended here on Friday. 72F and sunny ever since. I'll be leaving for Houston, TX on Wed. Why couldn't the relatives live in the only decent city in Texas (Austin)?

I tried once and it was down. An hour later it was back. Dunno.

That I don't know. I haven't tried it in years, and I only have 2 logical drives ;)

Another interesting idea.

Here is an SATA to CF adapter that I am looking at. I still have 6 free ports on my RAID card...24GB and decent speed....hmmm

I would guess it is the same one. I haven't looked at 3rd party defraggers in a long time, but last I checked O&O was the one to have.

Native restaurant? You are in Japan?

I just used the Server 2003 defragger to chew through an ~92% full 4TB array in about 8 hours. Am I silly in considering that good?

Sweet ;) I don't have a PATA RAID card or I would try it right now.

I got it, thanks Greg.

I use the one built into Vista. Can't compare it to others, but it works really well for me. The important thing is to get a good headset microphone, any that aren't fixed to your head are too vulnerable to inconsistency.

<guess> Land, and the manpower of herding, branding, rotating fields, etc. </guess>

Everything above that looks good, I think. Here is the whole thing: [2003sp2.log] 3.563: ================================================================================ 3.563: 2008/02/08 08:51:01.109 (local) 3.563: d:\b8813b4a7d7c0eb318\i386\update\update.exe (version 6.3.4.1) 3.844: Service...

Here is the last bit of the log, I'm still trying to read through it. 200.797: DeRegisterUninstallProgramInInf: No Old UninstallDir 200.797: FileInUse:: Detection disabled. 206.313: CheckRegistryValue: Registry - Inf integer values mismatch 206.406...

For the record, to have a log created, you must use: /log:fullpath

Congrats. Don't forget to stop in every month or so and let us know you are still alive.

Some CF cards and adapters don't support DMA, so make sure it is off. Also, some have a jumper to choose master/slave/CS and a jumper to source power (either IDE pin 40 for VIA EPIA systems or external for everybody else).

oops....my bad.

I've tried this either through windows update or by downloading the file directly from the site. I've tried reboots and it never appears in add/remove programs. Significantly into the SP2 installation it pops up the following error and goes away. Help?

Thanks for starting me on the right course... DirectShow Video: "Old Renderer" It will even split screens if I ask nicely...

It is appreciated, thanks. I'll leave any successes here for the record.

Media Player Classic is awesome. And it can output video to any display hooked up to your primary video card. But it goes blank or crashes when outputting to a screen driven by another video card. Has anyone else run into this? Is there another player I should be looking at?

I decided to go Server 2003 Standard, still getting drivers for all this crap installed. Unfortunately, the G15 keyboard drivers and NOD32 won't install. Isn't there a way to trick them into going?
