    Ebay. $236 for camera, 2x 8MB CF chips, 4 NIMH batteries and charger shipped. I was looking for a starter camera that still took decent pictures and I did not want to spend very much.

    Tape Backup Solutions

    The Stomp software is very closely related to the software included with 2000 and presumably XP. You can back up to anything that presents itself as a drive letter. Thus, files backed up to a harddrive, zip drive or network drive and once finished appear as a single file. Other files can also...

    Just a reminder

    All of what Will said plus program design. Such as knowing you are writing convoluted code (slow) for a quick project vs. writing slow code because you don't know how to make it better. Coding in VB might very well be easier due to the power of the VB development environment; and the sheer...

    Fushigi, At this time the process is manual. You would have several folders and crunch through the folders either sequentially or in parallel. At any rate the process is still manual. The reason for this is that the importance of turning in crunched proteins within a certain timeframe is...

    Router Sending Out Packets?

    My best guess: It will take a hub in between the router and the modem with another NIC attached to the hub. This other NIC should be capable of promiscuous mode and the computer containing the NIC will have a sniffer installed.

    Intel Speed Step monitoring

    What Jake should have also meantioned is that one of the menu buttons produces a real time CPU speed window. I have no idea how to adjust the criteria for dumping into speedstep mode. If it is based on heat, and I think it is, it may be BIOS level.

    Why do inkjet heads clog?

    I certainly did give the laserjet option a lot of leeway. The point I made, which you seem to have missed, is that you will have to print a lot of pages before the laserjet becomes the optimal choice. All of the variables which you have examined more closely point to an even greater number of...

    Why do inkjet heads clog?

    3130 pages is the magic number. If you expect to keep your inkjet printer for no longer than the warranty period (one year), then that comes out to 60.1 pages a week, every week for the year. If you feel like a gambling man and expect the inkjet printer to last 3 years then you must only print...

    Why do inkjet heads clog?

    Lets assume there are two classes of customers. Those who print only a little, and those who print a bunch. Keep in mind that both of these printers come OEM with ink and a one year warranty.* We need to have a common time frame to work from and the warranty period is a good one. In actuality...

    I have an HP 722C that I print from maybe once in two months. I've never had a clog problem. Maybe it matters that I don't keep it powered on when it is not going to be used.

    Any way to get QEMM 9.0 to recognize over 256 MB of RAM?

    This limit is within QEMM. There are no add-on programs to help you as QEMM is the program that would help. You would have to use a different program to get different funtionality. As you have noticed, newer versions of HIMEM will address at least up to 4G. Looks like you'll have to bite the bullet.
