In my riding, the bloc always wins. In that case, voting for the conservatives or the liberals in my riding is also a waste of my vote. So either I vote for the bloc, who'll win anyways (and i'm not fond of separatism even if I voted for them last time), or I'll vote for one of the other four...

I really hope that you are right. If the conservatives win with a minority government, it won't be that bad. The bloc, NPD and Liberals will keep Harper from imposing his right-wing agenda (Irak, Kyoto, the army). The bloc will probably agree with anything that gives more autonomy (+money) to...

Ah yes... i received everything. I now have : - Dual Athlon MP 2600 - Athlon XP 2800 (That's the one I added recently) - Athlon 1000 - Pentium M 1.5 (laptop, so it's folding 80 % of the time) - Athlon64 3200 (a friend's laptop... folding about 6-8h/day) Do you think a Pentium II 233 could...

Ah... if only the parts I ordered would arrive sooner! Then you'll have some challenge!

The first one... In a way, Bush isn't a moron because you can't get through college, become a businessman, governor and president just because of preferential treatment. There's a minimum of intelligence you must have to accomplish this. However, he may be a moron, because he made many...

I get your point. It depends what you mean by moron i guess.

GW Bush has this extraordinary ability to be underestimated. Many people think that he's just a moron, a redneck 'cowboy' from Texas. I think a moron can't become the president of the United States. So yes, I think it's an act. He knows how to 'seduce' the American voter. Kerry tried to do the...

Thanks Bill, we needed that :P.

The Fujitsu 10K drives have an acceptable noise level (the MAN and MAP series). Subjectively, they are more quiet than a Maxtor D740X and all the contemporary WD drives I heard for idle noise. Seek noise is louder but acceptable. Of course, they are not whisper quiet like the latest Seagate ATA...

I don't think that the ignore feature is necessary. I agree with jtr in the sense that I give everybody the chance to be heard, except when they "cross the line". In that case, the moderators should take care of it. However, I have no objections about such feature being implemented.

First, I think the main idea of Zapatero is that the Iraq war did not serve the war on terrorism. That's what made him retreat the troops. In his eyes (and I guess much of his people agreed with him), the war with Iraq did not prevent terrorists from putting bombs in the Madrid train system. The...

Drool... can't wait to see the numbers on these. Both series will be equipped with FDB motors. As for availability :

Amazing...

Best of luck to you i.

It this the cost of having 10 (or more) licences of this software?

I never said it was fun :P. Mine is full of hard drives so it's very heavy.

My antec 1080AMG has many scratches on it, due to the many times I take it to a LAN party.

Ouch! That's loud. I find that WD drives are somewhat inconsistent on the noise front. I had two WD400JB and one of them was louder than the other. It's the loudest drive I have, next to a Fujitsu 15K drive (1st gen).

Let's hope this baby will be available in notebooks. That would be o nice. I may even consider buying a notebook :).

Standard desktop PC? Am I the only one who thinks that the typical business user does not need 500GB (or even today's 250GB). 500GB hard drives, that's realistic. But the typical desktop PC? Ouch. The good side is that with everyone buying huge hard drives, power users will get them for cheap...

Free SAS host adapter inside the box!

I just went through the repair process to upgrade a PII based computer with an AMD 760MP based one. The repair went fine, but there were countless bugs in windows. VPN stopped to work, even though I re-installed routing and remote access. Windows Installer kept asking me for cd's to repair...

If your app partition in on a second disk it leads to a more responsive system. Otherwise, a second partition on the same disk would slow things down.

I agree. The windows repair can have unexpected results. I tried once when switching from single processor to dual (without changing the mobo) and although it did not give me any blue screens, I had many bugs and slowdowns. A clean install was better. If your hardware has passed the usual...

If it's not too late... In my experience, when the item is shipped via USPS, there is no customs. USP will certainly get you very high custom brokage fees. (60USD for a 100USD item).

YAY! :)

My guess is that the Cheetah 18XL will be slower than a WD1200JB in desktop tasks. I compared a Fujitsu MAN series 18GB drive to a WD400JB and found that they are both equally fast except when working with VMWare, where the SCSI drive was slightly faster. Those are not really scientific...

Nice tweak. Now, to find the plugins that are really worth while!

That's a nice feature there.

Great movie! I've seen it twice already (because the first time I accidentally say it in French ugh!). The battle scenes are amazing. I liked the end, but it's a part I will skip when watching it again. It's a shame they had to cut a certain detail at the end (for those who've read the book)...

17 Minutes! Why don't they just forget the battery! It'll make a lighter laptop at least! Some people don't need a battery anyways. But then, that thing costs 3000$! Man...

Nice pics! 3.jpg is HUGE though (8000X6000 :D ).

Congratulations JoJo! Best wishes!

Good point. Did Human Rights Watch include the death toll from the war? AFAIK, there is no official numbers about the number of civilians killed in the war. I'm tempted to say yes, the world is a better place without Saddam. But only time will tell. No matter how ugly things got when Saddam...

I've looked at some speeches that the president did about Iraq, and you're right bill, the president has never said that Iraq actually has WMD's. But, he talked about Iraq (and others) actively seeking to acquire such weapons. We still did not get much proof of that either. Where's proof that...

I don't know why, but I feel that Bill would be one of the last persons to read a book by Al Franken :D.

I agree here....weird problems often arise from bad memory. Try using memory from another computer to see if that's the problems.

I've always wondered what's the minimum requirements to work at customer support...

It's difficult to say if they are just morons are they are trying to get you to give up their warranry.

Thanks! These seem like nice little software. I'll test them too and see if they meet my needs (i've been looking for backup solutions...)

That sig is timeless....maybe not :P.

:lol:

For the sake of posting a different opinion.... First of all, I think that Office 2000 is the most annoying Office suite (comparing office 97, 2000 and XP). It had this tendency to always request the office cd to do I-don't-know-what (maintenance maybe). I was caught off guard when I was using...

Québec is a country Coug! (Or it will become!!!! VIVE LE QUÉBEC LIBRE!!!) BTW: fear not....those are not my true political ideas...

I think it's the marketing department who put that huge heat-sink there. It makes the card look more powerful. Plus, overclockers are going to like it I suppose.

No graphical interface for Samba in Red Hat 8. I guess i'll check out red hat 9 :P .

I don’t believe you! BURN THE WITCH!!! Seriously though, RAID 0 is still the best for specialized hard drive configurations... But most people will get better performance by using two separate drives. But no matter how much you say that to people, RAID 0 is still popular, especially among the...

The last plug on the cble should be used for the master drive and the other for the slave. However, it makes very little difference it most cables.

I think i'll go crazy. I tried with winroute. The router software works fine, but the port redirection does not work at all. More lost hours....
