Soft RAID1 has always been OK on NT/2000. It's the other ones that lead to interesting combinations of swear words. The 3ware card offers parallelized reads, which unlike soft-RAID, do provide a modest boost to read performance. If I had the option, I'd probably use the 3ware card for that reason.

Let's keep it on a computer topic for the RAM. Yes, I am serious about this. I'll ship it anywhere in the world.

I'm not a Mozart fan, but I do own the recent Levine recording on DG. It is pretty good. It's got your basic all-star cast (Bartoli, Domingo, Terfel) and a great orchestra and conductor and the recording itself is up to DG's usual standards. Again, I'm not much for Mozart. There may be a pretty...

I'll even one-better that. First person to come up with a decent article of say, 1000 words (e.g. a decent Tannin-sized rant, or about 3 pages) on a topic of interest to SF's members, I'll buy a new 256MB stick of Crucial PC3200.

Article-writing is occasionally discussed here. There's certainly a wide array of interesting topics scattered about this place, e.g. 1. Handruin's up-close-and-personal work with EMC SAN equipment 2. Fushigi's iSeries knowledge 3. Several members with serious A/V fetishes (HTPC, video...

IIRC NDIS is an open spec, so it probably wasn't that hard to write such a wrapper. I'd love to see something similar that would fix the high levels of obnoxiousness involved in setting up a semi-supported inkjet printer or a scanner under Linux.

That's a good question timwhit. The best thing you could do, however, is post a few new topics if you have time. I note that we get a lot of spectators here, people who drop by and read everything but never post. That would be OK except... why did those people log in? I don't want to have...

Er, no. In those five years, I was close to her and cared about her very much, but at that time, there were also limits e.g. we didn't give each other birthday presents or or get involved in one another's family responsibilities. This is observably similar to the friendships between most other...

adriel has pockets in his pants but he's not allowed to use them?

It sounds like you did everything you could. Tyler was obviously loved and well cared for; you did more for him than anyone else would've done. It's sad to hear of your loss, CityK.

I thought it might be a bit much at the time, but honestly, if it were, I would've expected someone to say something about it. No one did for a very long time.

In public life - that outside my domecile - I can state with absolute certainty that I have found very little in the way of "good times". I've described this to therapists as being "constitutionally incapable of having a good time".

Nope. Default for "Default Web Site" to listen on 80 for all interfaces, as long as the server and the site are both running (I think they are, or you wouldn't be able to connect internally). You don't have any Remote Access Policies in place that might keep routing from happening, do you? Why...

Does your host have a static or dynamic IP? Is the hostname registered with DNS? Are you using DDNS? Is HTTPd configured to use the internet interface, or are your internal IPs all non-routable? Is the server you're trying to reach on port 80? Inquiring minds want to know.

How often does that happen? Annually? Bi-annually? How long should those last? Seconds? Minutes?

"Two Roads Diverged in a Yellow Wood..." At this point, I don't think I care what the real world is. The moment I look away from a computer screen or the pages of my books, the moment I turn down my music and listen to something not generated by the stacks of electronics that surround me, I...

Chicken farms are a billion times worse. I'm not kidding. Until age 14 I lived in Central Illinois farm country. Cow crap you get used to. Pig crap you get used to. Chicken farms from 1/2 mile away smell worse than being sprayed by a skunk.

Well, I'll be around most of the evening.

Oh yeah: :P

In the case of the latter link, I was as circumspect as could be. There were boundries. I don't believe they were crossed. In the former case, I didn't originate the thread, only posted a particularly outrageous response. In neither case was there something directly insulting to a large group...

Bill changed the image in question. It was a picture of two models holding CDs up to check their makeup. It might seem humorless to some of you but really, if you were a woman employed in IT, and you saw the picture in question on this site, would YOU want to hang around here?

Well, I'd hoped to practice before public humiliation but I'm game if you all are.

Oh. How silly of me. I need to do everything through STEAM, not the game. I have Blake's server bookmarked. I even played him for like 5 seconds, before my cat decided my keyboard was a good place to sit.

Why the hell can't I connect to any servers? I spent $#%##$ing forever downloading Steam and it says I can't #$%#$%ing connect. Do I need to open a port or something?

Are the G5s price-competitive with SMP 64bit Athlons? Dual 1.8GHz G5/160GB/512MB = $3000 Dual 2GHz Opteron/36GB Raptor/1GB/19" display = $3500 from Polywell That looks really close to me. The G5 is a little bit slower chip, but otherwise it looks like a push to me, with the benchmark results...

Yeah. The Serial number that's on the slipcover the CD should've been in. Oh well. I found the CD, but not the slipcover. So I paid for a copy of HalfLife today, since my BlueShift key doesn't work. Is there any way to download the 700MB of updates without registering as a member of...

That's in incredibly poor taste IMO.

I have to find my install CD first. That's going to be an adventure. Also, I will be pathetic. I haven't played any FPS in probably 18 months.

Bill, do you ever get tired of not having good taste? :) I mean, really. I hate sports. I think they're stupid (except topless pillow fighting and women's gymnastics and beach volleyball), but come on, even I think it would've been neat to have the bridesmaids of baseball playing each other...

One of my brothers had an Intellivision and a semi-portable TV with like a 9" screen. He was 13 and I was 5, though, so I literally never got to play it. The stuff I thought was neat was... mind-blowing, like the fact that the Dealer's eyes in a card game followed the play of the cards, and the...

You read it here first. Seriously. I heard a pensioner praying to god for justice for that guy. I mean, it's one thing to hate somebody, but when you start telling god to do it, I gotta figure that's serious.

Whatever you all are whining about, it has nothing on the sheer hate being cast at the guy who ruined game 6 for the Cubs. I mean, I've spoken to 60ish grandmothers who were wishing painful deaths on that poor guy.

Works fine in Firebird .7/Win32 and 1.4a/Linux.

What happens when you show "Pong" to a 10-year-old raised on Playstation 2? Read this, find out, and try not to piss yourself.

Books, unless you have lots of 21" monitors.

Is it really hard for beginners to get started?

I think describing intelligence as the ability to reason misses the mark, substantially; it discounts the other factors that make up the mind, to say the least. Everyone knows what I mean when I talk about "Rain Man"-type individuals. Idiot-Savants. Are those people truly intelligent, or is...

Automobile emissions are a source of many things that don't mix very well with lungs, and then there's the whole issue in most of the Western World of dependence on the Middle East for oil. And also presidents named Bush would have fewer excuses for starting wars. The problem with Fuel Cells...

Development on it is ending. :( IMAP is absolutely a marvelous thing. The easy to use and maintain servers are insecure as all hell (firewall 'em), but besides containing email on a server, IMAP can also be used for file services in a home directory and the mail spool files for at least the...

I like Moz Mail better than thunderbird - I really miss having the direct browser integration (no open in new tab function), but I'm trying really hard to move to tbird, because I know I'll have to get over the change eventually.

And a link, just in case.

I have three MaxLine IIs already. I don't see why I would stop buying big drives.

Like maybe the test is too easy? It's also possible that the reason is that the folks here are mostly a couple of standard deviations away from the mean to begin with. Tannin would probably have some interesting things to say about this stuff, with the statistical nature of IQ scoring. IQ is...

timwhit, I don't want to say. It's not something I wear on my sleeve or that's particularly useful information. If I'm the guy with an IQ of X, then I'll be known forever as "the guy with an IQ of X, who couldn't figure out or failed at Y" with my every screwup.

Visionary Philosopher according to that test. No comment on my score. I actually know my IQ, and I question the value of using a 40-question exam to assess it, but I can accept that it's at least as good as a lot of other "Know your IQ" self-administered tests. I'll just say that there was a...

I was refering to the 3.5 to 5.25 adaptors that a lot of cases would have to use to fit in a HH hard disk. I can do without a floppy, but since a lot of cases only have 2 3.5" bays, I think a lot of other people might have a problem with that.

Half-height and larger drives are kind of a PITA in desktop cases. Besides, how many of those half-height 180GB SCSI monsters has Seagate sold?

In the plants I worked in the towers had pumps. The area around the towers was louder than the plant floor.

No. It's ONLY 350GB. 30GB larger than the biggest MaxLine now. 700GB... now that would be sexy. Especially @ 7200rpm+. I believe that falls into the "dream on" category but maybe we'll get lucky.
