Well, Amy couldn't be pregnant (yes, I'm sure). Suicidal? Not that either. She's actually getting better a lot faster than I am (got some response from online personals I encouraged her to do) Me as a "fall back plan"... er, not really. Maybe a little. But more as a shoulder to cry on and a...

Abit makes a board like that. Of course, everything else under the sun is also integrated on it and it only has 3 PCI slots and no serial/parallel but I guess that's the price you pay.

It's flagreen. And my hand is nowhere near the "IP" button, so don't start that again. For some reason, the Mirror's location is flagreen-esque.

I really can't do that, PW. When all is said and done for me, I'm the one with an income and a (mostly) low-stress life, not to mention a whole bunch of people who'll say "poor bastard, no wonder he never leaves his apartment". Amy gets a choice (sort of) in pursuing her path, but no input in...

If I'm reading correctly it looks like an initiative to improve (market) their drivers better. Note the line in the FAQ about 8 - 10 updates a year, as well as supposed improved customer feedback system.

I don't drink but right now I think I could be tempted. The thing is... in order for me to get through the day I have to basically wrap my mind around the finality of what's happened. I'm trying very hard to be friends (I try to look and see a sister) and be supporting of my ex but for her...

I'm allergic to a lot of plants so I think when I get my own apartment I'm going to just buy TONS of fake trees and ferns and stuff. It'll be like living in a jungle. Except for all the dusting. :) Your parents' backyard looks very similar to my parents'.

Computer Science. Minored in English Lit. Amy's also mad at me because I got a higher MCAT score than she did, though.

Bill, are you still friends with any of your "ex"-es?

Unless there's a reason to upgrade, don't. For 99% of interactions with the system, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Your machine is fine at 55C unless it's making the room uncomfortably warm or something, so give it a month or so and see what kind of additional value you can get for...

That must be some kind of physics class rule. I've saw that film in both high school and college physics and even had to do the same problems (uh, but using different methods for solution).

Two fingers from the river Lethe, good barkeep.

Some days are just harder than others. Mixed signals suck.

Fiercely.

Minimal web site for ex-girlfriend's stuff, that I'd like to look nice, 'cause I'm a perfectionist. Place for me to play and learn for the rest, Gary. timwhit: Regarding your discussion I can only say that you're both right. Access is a PITA but it does great for quick and dirty stuff.

Basically there's some code that needs to be run to determine that you're either a US-ian or have a valid business interest in the US before they'll let you have a site in that namespace. It's not a big deal. Like, without dealing with an Italian registrar, I don't think I can get a .IT domain.

I already know PHP. It's a great way to talk to MySQL. Prof - Needing to use a (software) wizard to do something is indicative of a gap in one's knowledge of that technology. Wizards can cover up things you can't do on your own, but then when there's a problem, you also don't know how to fix...

I've always been a hard case about doing everything in a text editor. Auto-generators tend to do thing behind your back. The other side of this is maybe it's not really worth learning. I change the extension of a word document to .html and it's a web page. Two sides of a coin, there.

Last time I did anything web-ish, HTML3 wasn't even spec yet (tables? What tables? OK. Maybe HTML2 wasn't out. Whatever. Nothing supported tables). I know things have changed vastly but other than getting databases to output nicely-formatting HTML search results, I haven't touched web...

You pay a registrar for a name. You pay a hosting provider for space and access to services. Usually the less-expensive registrars are teamed with an expensive hosting service. Registrars offer things like domain parking and email forwarding, but frankly you can do those things for free through...

I picked up a domain for myself and now I suppose I'll be needing a host of my own. Since it's "mine", I suppose I can justify actually paying a little more for service. So Handruin, what can you do for me? 10MB space and 100MB/month is, I'm guessing, a good initial estimate. I *do* want mail...

I just registered mercutio.us (I could've taken mercutio.sr, too, BTW) on dotster.com. Mostly because I already have an account there. $28 for two years' registration is a pretty good deal to me. I'm just getting ready to go talk to Handruin about the rest.

You don't know snow until you have fields full of snow fences in which to build your forts. But better than snowdays were the great thunderstorms (and yes, the excitement of a tornado) rolling through the farmland. Central Illinois might not big "big sky country" but it certainly was big...

OK, I'll bite: My name is Mercutio I need a nap.

My ISP doesn't do webspace. Which is OK, 'cause they don't care about my multilink connection or near-constant online activity. I have some other accounts scattered around but nothing I can ethically use for this.

I've dealt with several different high-dollar hosting providers at diferent times. They all kind-of melt together. Except internap. They were just evil. Yeah, I think maybe I did recommend pair. Maybe I'll pick up a cheap plan for myself and just run her stuff out of my space... I've GOT to...

It's just going to be some images from my ex's Relay for Life (ACS benefit) experience. I'm planning to go as the cameraman but the idea is to throw the images online as the event takes place. Anyway, the anticipated demand at first will be for the X-number of MBs of images by the team members...

I'd second that one, too.

If I may, I'd also suggest that perhaps a non-US resident get the nod this time. I'm up entirely too often during the middle of the Aussie day but keeping miscreants like James at bay probably requires someone who *isn't* being deprived of sleep to do it. time? Pradeep? Jake?

Anyone have any experience with *small* domain-parking/web hosting services? I'm looking for a really low-volume application. Probably under 100MB monthly bandwidth; basically just enough to park a domain and a bunch of images (2MB or so) for some people. POP forwarding would be cool, too...

My real name is Sam. The result of a family tradition, there are six or seven "Sams" in my family already so through my life I've mostly been known by nicknames. The nickname I like best is the one I selected for myself. Besides, it's probably a bit more appropriate here than the ones others...

During my childhood I remember a cold autumn night when my father got a phone call, then rushed out the door in his dress white Navy uniform. He came back with tears streaming down his face many hours later - having been summoned to deliver the US flag and a note of condolence to the family of...

Not all of us. I make every effort to be genuine with everyone. Many people find that off-putting. But I'm pretty sure I'm real and not a figment (a better phrase than sock puppet for the rest of the schizophrenics here) of jtr. Although if I am a figment I could use some creative re-writes...

Given that Moz and Opera both scroll, it's entirely possible that scrolling is the "correct" behavior.

Fithian, Illinois. About 20 miles east of Urbana. My house was across a mile of cornfields from 74, and when peeople broke down along the little stretch of town they'd invariably walk through the fields and ask to use our phone.

Sunsets over the cornfield, framed by trees out my west-facing bedroom window. Legos. My cats. Growing up I had three. One a kitten I stopped to pet on the way home from my first day as a second-grader. She followed me home and sat outside my bedroom and cried for three months until my parents...

It's happily (and quietly - a good quality in a year-old DM40+) whirring away in Amy's PC. It replaced an original 9GB Barracuda ATA that was just too much of a pain to keep cool. The 'Cuda is now part of my "data transfer toolkit" and lives in the trunk of my car with all my other tools.

I'm pretty sure that was a re-issue. I think the "original" recording of Tabula Rasa was Gil Shaham but of course it might've been Kramer and I'm certain it was released back in the 80s. I was a weird little kid. Anyway, the choral works: Miserere, Litany, his Magnifcat and his Beatus and the...

That's just bad, Cliptin. Actually he's Ira Glass's cousin. Talented family.

Who in their right mind would need more than 4 ATAPI drives?

1000 posts just means I've posted 1000 times. It's not a race and for damn sure it's not like a "first among equals" thing. I really didn't notice until about two minutes ago that I'd actually passed 1000 posts. I thought I was still in the upper 900s someplace. Anyway, thanks for what it's...

I'm looking at dates for composition, of course. Most of the tintinnabuli pieces (as opposed to the early 12-tone stuff) is mid-70s or early 80s in origin. The newer choral works are really the best pieces, though, IMHO. I picked up an early Pärt recording on BIS in 1988 though, so it isn't like...

[Really off-place joke that I feel the need to make] Everybody calm down or I'm checking *all* your IPs. [/Really off-place joke that I feel the need to make] OK. Really. The motto here is to treat everyone with respect. Take up arms against the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in...

Behave. Both of you. Don't call me a heavy hitter. That's silly. If you want a quality multi-channel card for RAID, look at 3ware. If all you need is an extra place to hang a JBOD of 5400rpm drives, hey, that's why we like Promise (well, not like. Tolerate with only occasional cursing).

Two of my favorite pieces of 1970s music are Arvo Pärt's "Für Alina" and Henryk Gorecki's 3rd Symphony (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs). Not that my selections are what you had in mind...

There's cool stuff at the Petrillo music shell in Grant Park almost every weekend in the summer, timwhit. I saw the Barenboim and the CSO (well, Grant Park SO but probably it was 80% CSO members) do Beethoven's 9th for free a few years ago. The next weekend it was a Jazz group and I know they...

I think the Redhill collective was trying for a triple play. In a bit of history that should probably go in the "Madhouse" thread, Tony Wilson was first a fixture on SR. After Tony's 1000th post (or some other milestone), Tannin was born and became the nick of choice. Some time later, due to a...

So did I.

I have a completely different appreciation for the material since I started teaching it (I teach A+ and Network+ classes a couple times a week and also the odd "Build a Computer" or "Troubleshooting" class). We take a lot of these things for granted. We can see how everything fits together...

If you're doing "server class IDE", the magic word is 3Ware. A $225 3Ware 7410 4-channel (one drive per channel!), 64-bit PCI card will do what you need.
