"flagreen" is SR user 6. "Mercutio" is user 7. I believe "ddrueding" is 8 (this is from memory). We're the low number guys because we WERE the first to step up when SR was in trouble. Our accounts were recreated after the MBF becuase E&D had paypal records indicating our usernames and email...

Do you need a zip crack or are you good now?

I'm not here to gloat. Abit and nVidia were made for each other, though.

Quickbooks is IMO just as bad. The whole thing with not being able to manually update tax tables is supremely annoying.

The TV Wonder VE *is* bad. I've complained about it, too. It's a nonstandard Conexant card, not a homegrown ATI, and I think the installer for that card is actually buggy. Probably on purpose. I do in fact have a 9000 VIVO and a 9200 VIVO, both made by Sapphire. My 9600 AIW is a Sapphire card...

Personally I like UI subtleties like a progress bar that actually indicates progress. But maybe that's just me. I like the fact that with Moz/Firebird, I can define the scrollwheel to do a whole page at a time (let's talk about zippy!) or just a certain number of lines of text. Very handy...

No problem.

Coward :)

Nope. Someday, maybe after I work myself into what Coug assures me will be an extended hospital visit. I tend to overanalyze my prose and not write unless I'm SURE of what I'm putting down. I do not revise, other than correcting spelling errors or typos. Which is exactly the wrong attitude for...

I don't know why you had problems, Blake. I can get it to work without any problem, every time.

Just remember that at one time, "we the people" were those whiners. Of course, I've freely given SR money to maintain the site, which I think puts me a step above the hordes who didn't.

The Opera browser might be suitable for... No, scratch that. It isn't suitable for anything.

That particular error usually comes from a problem with the DAO files and/or not have DX9 (for the latest MMCs).

Alcohol 120% does that, also. It's not free but those of with heavy burning needs and a dislike of Nero 6 might want to look at it. It also fixes copy-protected CDs and functions properly in Windows Safe Mode.

I don't have a solution but I've never received any of the in-warranty boards that I've RMA'd to Northgate solutions, Epox's authorized repair service in the USA. They've cashed the checks for the return shipping, too. To date I'm out $60. They were good boards but over time I had my share of...

A serial blaster is an Infrared device that emits remote control signals. They fix the "tuning the card, not the external device" problem very handily. They do work on pretty much everything, but with a VCR I was able to program it to record, which got me to the same place. The IR Blaster I have...

Blake: The Sapphire 9200 VIVO install CD DOES NOT have all the drivers and stuff needed to correctly set up video in. Solution? Download the latest 25MB mass-driver pack thing from ATI. Then, install the latest MMC DAO extensions (they install a bunch of .ax files needed to properly handle the...

I had an ipod for about an hour and a half. It got sold. :) The Mac came out in 1984. There was an absolutely fantastic commercial that introduced it. Beat the heck out of the IBM commercials of the time (with a Charlie Chaplin character).

I shall make pronouncements in this thread this evening.

There are for the Linksys.

I can't stand coffee. I will drink iced quasi-coffee beverages as long as they don't taste much like coffee. I've never been in a starbucks storefront and I've pledged never to go in a Gloria Jeans again after I had the hilarious experience of being the only unserved customer in a shop, waving a...

I bought one because it's the only nforce2 board I can find with a coax spdif connector. Most nforce2 boards either omit digital sound - which makes soundstorm useless - or use TOSLink, which is expensive and doesn't allow for long cables. I would be very happy if I could get a card with the...

Is that not factually correct, ddruedings? Looking over Intel's site, that seems to be the case.

Oh yeah, more mostly-coherent sample text: Several Paths to the Same Goal Since there are a number of different strategies that can lead to the 1TB finish line, let’s look at some of the points of interest in building our storage server: • Network Performance – In this case, the...

We decided to focus on a home-type server some time ago. IT Pros have all the help they need and lots of friendly salesdroids from Dell and HP to figure it out. If there are "a couple dozen people" around your house then you need to be hit over the head with a box of Trojans. Also, you might...

mkisofs works under Windows with cygwin. It's probably still not David's cup of tea, which is why I didn't suggest it.

Yeah, we got about 4 inches of snow here since yesterday afternoon, so you'll probably see it Tuesday in New York.

I don't suppose I should bother to point out that most of us wouldn't notice the difference between 150 seconds and 170 seconds while doing a network file copy. It's like burning a CD: It takes "about five minutes" whether you have a 32x drive or a 52x drive. My usage pattern between my...

What about the next show-stopping IE bug? What to do about that?

If you put to 2 GB of RAM in your PC, it will not stop paging out memory. Paging and Swapping are two different things. Paging = The OS trying to optimize available RAM by moving 4k blocks that aren't being used very much to your pagefile. Swapping = Accessing your hard disk as if it were RAM...

Coug, you're referring to ECS here. Maybe some of us don't give ECS enough credit but in this particular case I think you were giving them a bit too much.

Probably not. Remember that Microsoft took almost all access to DOS out of ME (e.g. fdisk doesn't work, even though there's an fdisk binary as part of the OS). command.com will probably never die, though.

PC2700 and PC3200 have worked in addition to PC2100 whenever I've tried it. I'm 99% postive you'd be fine, even with a cheapo board, which that Asus isn't (the other 1% is the Vomit Box cheese factor).

I think a better test would be to use, say, an Apollo Pro and a KT400. There are two very different IDE implementations there, after all. Via:Via would probably be a cleaner comparison.

Absolutely no milk-based foodstuffs for cold or flu. Milk changes the persistance and viscosity of your mucous over a fairly short period of time, which is the last thing you want when you're sick. Do get well soon, jtr.

"Oh Boy, Sleep! That's where I'm a Viking!" - R. Wiggum Have you guys who are having fridge/watercooling fantasies looked at BTX at all yet? From the drawings I've seen it appears that the CPU will be under a sort of directed airflow container that really does look like it was made to also...

1. Intel has a history of orphaning CPU interfaces. Anyone know if Prescott will work on i875? 2. The 2.8 P4 and the XP2800 are both toward the low end of the performance spectrum in this case. 2. The Athlon64's future is murky at best. 3. No sign yet of the "future-proof" Socket 939 from AMD...

I wasn't suggesting you had a problem with burning; I was suggesting that copy protection on the disc might not be compatible with the drive.

Very probably you have an incompatibility between the drive and copy protection on the discs in question. There's probably a crack out there for whatever the protection is, and there are a number of programs (ClonyXXL, Alcohol 120%) that can break such protections so the discs can be copied in a...

There's a tool called cdburn/dvdburn that's included in the Server 2003 resource kit that can burn an ISO image from command line.

158. You've taken an entire day to rearrange your hundreds of gigabytes of media files, it's 1:05AM, and you're not done yet. 159. ...but in your paleotaxonomy, you find data files from BBSes you last visited in 1990. 160. A hardware manufacturer has written custom firmware based on your call to...

I plan to work on it this weekend. I'm off today through Sunday.

Well fuck. I've lived another year. How perfectly shitty.

Well Coug, you're still one step better than me. I don't have human contact OR religion. Also I noticed that the link I made to SR (This is funny as opposed to pathetic) is 404'd. Rather than link, since SR seems to change its BB system annually, here's the pathetic-ness (which I'm rather proud...

What language is that sentence in? :)

Hi IHateATI. I hate nvidia myself. Maybe we need to start a club. There's a small selection of games, including Call of Duty and Neverwinter Nights, that don't work very well with current ATI driver releases. There's a patch on ATI's web site that's supposed to fix things (search around their...

Short answer: properly regal and/or bitchy. She's more active than she's ever been. She has problems with balance and doesn't have full control of her tail, but after many weeks of thrice-daily antibiotics and force-feedings, she's been pronounced "well". Her personality has changed a lot. She...

I found something a few days ago in a fairly serious article that described the Iomega Clik as a 40GB disk. In the Washington Times, a publication that's normally highly respected. Since I can buy a factory case of those stupid things for about $50, if they were 40GB apiece I'd never have to...

Tannin's done a miscalculation. David's dollars are worth 1.33 Aussie ones, so David has really provided 559AUD. Tea can of course have $1000 of my imaginary dollars as well. To make the math easy. :)

That's a very expensive way to hunt, Pradeep. Everyone in my family except me has hit a deer. It's a fact of life. A few years ago I was driving to work at 4:30 in the morning. I'm doing 45 in a 25 that should really be a 40, completely straight except for a couple gentle hills and some...
