Do you have TabBrowser Extensions installed? I believe I have it set to never open a new window unless I ask for it to. The default is to open a new tab. AHA! I tried ctrl-middle click, and it opened a new tab and didn't resize! The difficulty is, though, knowing beforehand which links will...

Here's a link you can try. Now in the upper left area, immediately to the left of the image, click on "see it larger". This should spawn a new tab, and the entire window resizes to a smaller area.

Innovative motor design touted Aimed at 3rd world; which is fantastic because it would cut pollution from oil-buring 2-stroke engines used in mopeds/scooter/mobikes. Problem is these same places typically don't have reliable electirity supply. Article also has a link to India's electric car...

An ex-HP engineer's view of what happened to the HP Way.

And Seagat'e eSATA spec as well (external SATA).

More about LSI's SAS goodies at The Inquirer.

Current Shark Tank on ComputerWorld. :D

Perhaps an external FW and/or USB2 drive, then? I seem to be peculiarly keen on annoying you with ideas you've already thought of. Yup. Only Hitachi makes faster drives. I wish the other guys would too. Prices would come down then. Maxtor in a notebook? Gee, no thanks.

Tannin, I used Moz briefly way back in the early days. Can you please tell me why you like it so much compared to FF? My system is meesed up too much already to try it and uninstall it. Despite imaging the system partition from time to time, too much water flows under the brdige in-between. :cursin:

Lunar, you're either not a normal human being (intellectually and otherwise magnitudes more advanced that John Doe) or you're missing out on something magical and wonderful.

Maybe you should get a laptop that can support two HDDs. For my Thinkpad T23, I can buy a "ThinkPad Second HDD Adapter for Ultrabay 2000" for $45. This is the bay that takes either a floppy or optical drive without an adapter.

Very informative reading, thanks Buck.

And not W2k...not that I'm crying, I far prefer Firefox.

Thanks for your thoughtfulness, Gary. I'm a nameless, faceless, nobody. My present avatar (or lack of it) is perfectly appropriate.

Tannin, you're absolutely right on every point about CC (the same thoughts went through my mind as I was reading the article). But look at it this way. NAV is aimed directly at and marketed to the consumer, who doesn't know jack from a virus from a worm from adware. Given that, and if you...

Just how big is the place we live in??

The 2005FPW and 2001FP are at $487 now. How low can they go?!

Thanks, JoJo. Hopefully their US website will show them soon, which would be a good sign.

I don't understand. What are the graphics/press pros going to do now?

Where do you see the P120, CityK? Their USA Web site still shows the P80 as the top of the line.

Because the outputs were rock solid despite significant variation in load, and in spite of sustained heavy loads. I don't remember the details, except that at the time I read the reviews, I decided I'd seriously check this thing out. The other names you've listed don't ring a bell with me.

Mortgage the house! The Eizo ColorEdge CG220 is only about $6.7k street price in the U.S. Tea, Mitsu's web site still shows three 22" CRTs, including a high-end that supports 97.5% of Adobe's color space (street price ~$4.5k). Can you please point me to the source of this news that they're...

No! Tell me it ain't so!!

Thanks, Will.

I've had this problem from day 1, with every version. With some web pages, but happens more with images. When I click on a link (and it either opens in the same tab or in a new one), the entire FF window will resize to a smaller size. This new size can be as small as 2" x 2". Aaaaaaargh! I've...

How about OCZ? I read some glowing reviews at a couple of places (AnandTech?). They go up to 600W, which goes for ~ $207.

How on earth are you going to view the damn thing? Swing your head from side to side like you're watching a game of tennis? :D

That got your attention, didn't it? Actually, this is nothing new. Charlie Cooper rants. It's only noteworthy because an IT hack is publicly berating Symantec and its CEO.

Which controller(s) are you using for that many drives??

Get in line behind me, i.

Whoa! That web page only explains how XP knows what kind of key to expect. You'll have to rip the CD, change the PID, and burn a new CD for the change to take effect (including making the new CD bootable). And I have a feeling that the PID in a standard OEM CD will not be the same as the PID...

Read two interesting articles today. Gave me some warm & fuzzies. Sunlight to Fuel Hydrogen Future Solar Tower of Power

My experience matches Blake's. Subtle but important distinctions.

SysInternals has released a RootKitRevealer. Haven't checked it out yet, but for those interested, it can be found here.

That feedback was valuable, Buck, thanks for posting it. I'm no Mr. HawkEye myself, and have often wondered if I could tolerate 1600x1200 on a 20". This kind of real-world feedback is so invaluable. I wonder about the Dell 1905, though.

You're all falling for it, taking the bait.

David, I don't think you're being cynical, I think you're being realistic. I think that's what will happen too, that's why I'm so into alternative enrgies. In a year or two, I'll be spending a lot of my time and efforts into becoming more sef-reliant in every way possible. All the "leaders" -...

I'm chipping in late, didn't read the links in this post, and am not a gamer. But what I know is that for games, CPU cache size makes little difference. Clock speed is king.

Ditto. Thanks for an absolutely fantastic post, jtr. Very lucid, hits home really hard. Many of the posts I make are with the intention to produce a healthy debate, and I really, really love it when that happens! More than anything else, what gets my juices flowing are alternative energies and...

As usual, the eloquent Tannin verbalizes easily what many of us struggle to crystallize and express.

Fascinating! Looks like you have a new business in the pipeline!

Thanks, myself and Platform. I multiboot two Windows variants on my main system (have been for ~ 6 years, so I'm not new to the idea). In the past, I've tried multibooting different OSes on my spare machines, and have sometimes had horrendous results. I guess I'll tread a middle path now; buy...

Well, i, the top cover for product in the link you provided is "screw" less, so I'm ruling it out :lol: No bud, I'm not into pr0n. I want to try various OSes (my recent thread in Tech Support ). It'd be a lot easier to swap drives in and out. I have two systems I hardly use and a few smallish...

I'm thinking of buying a whole ton (2 racks, 7 carriers) of the Kingwin KF-21 family. Any comments, or reasons I shouldn't? Thanks.

I'm really sorry, time :oops: ! I know this is not a valid excuse, but the system is in a hard to reach place, and I didn't want to mess with it unless I had to. I could have sworn it was the Matrox, and I was dead wrong. I hardly think the ATI Radeon is an obscure card? The NIC is an SMC...

I wiped out SuSe and installed Mandrake 10.1. I'm really, really impressed. It detected everything on the first try. Sees to processors (yea!). Configured the NIC automatically (on the internet in no time at all). Display is perfect. I opted for both Gnome and KDE during install, and am messing...

Well, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. It's installed now, but the display sucks big time. I've got the rez. etc. done, but the display quality is horrid. Sorta like a CGA screen. I can see big gaps between each pixel that makes up a letter. Don't know what the prob is; nosed around...

Well, what do you know. As soon as I would make a selection of the installation type, the display would switch from graphic install to console mode. I replaced the video card (I lied, by the way. It was an old Trident PCI) with a first-gen ATI Radeon AGP 32MB. I also made sure the BIOs was...

Looks like they're an IP (pun intended) only company. Like Rambus. Which certainly makes money, despite their ups and downs and questions of propriety. David, it's certainly not hot down here. Why are you giys so negative? Granted, this may turn out to be vaporware. But if it is true, and...
