Howdy, back again, it's been a while since I was here the last time, and I'm not talking about this thread now. Probably got some new certs also since the start of this thread. Merc comment reminds me to renew/upgrade my MS certs, hmm....

Hi Greg, yes, running 7 64-bit. Thanks for the offer! But I might ditch my SCSI-boot drive now altogether due to this, let's see. I'd also have a chance to upgrade my parents computer with the drive / controller.

Took the plunge after reading some of your posts here (and from having a slow computer running vmware, normal stuff and what not out of one Samsung 1.5T drive), so got myself one of these for a boot drive: Intel SSDSA2MH080G2R5 So far so good. Nothing earth shattering, but seems snappier...

Hi, gotta chime in here, try out the Nokia N900, it has worked like a charm for me, I like it.

Hi, it did work with only those 2 modifications mentioned above AND after removing most of storage related stuff / drivers. Got it installed, did take quite a long time. When I have more spare time I'll take the suggested route and do a clean install with the 64-bit version. Thanks for the...

Downgraded adaptec driver, then when doing the upgrade chose not to check for latest updates. Now the card isn't reported as critical and show stopping. Thumbs up...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll bang my head agains the wall for a while more, and see if I can get this working. A clean install is inevitably on the horizon, but right now I don't have the time for it :( I'll look into the other storage drivers, and see if they have an impact. Just...

Hi, I'm trying to do an upgrade from Vista 32-bit to Win 7. I guess it's not a surprise, but the upgrade fails and tells me to install the latest drivers for the Adaptec 29160 card. It's got them (the Adaptec ones). How can I go forwards with the upgrade? Anything to be done? Downgrade of...

Hi, sorry for the late answer. On public places you are not allowed to carry any guns or knives or anything harmful without a good reason, and a good reason being that the utility is part of some show or official use. On the other hand, many people carry a pocket knife / leatherman with them...

I've been in contact with the manufacturer, great folks there. I't looks like I'll be able to do my business directly with them. Candlepowerforums, great place, it got me excited about getting a proper led light ( I always carry some sort of flashlight+knife+whatnot with me), just need some...

Thanks fellas. I sent an e-mail to the manufacturer, but they haven't answered yet. I'll wait and see for a few days more, before checking out some of the shops.

I didn't know that, thanks!

Hi, I'll probably be making a short business trip to Colorado and Texas in March. I'm pretty tempted to buy a Mission Knives MPT and / or MPF in Titanium when I'm there. Any good recommendations on where to buy them from ? Probably easiest just to buy them online and have them sent to the...

Hi everyone! Just upgraded to a C2D 6750, Asus P5K motherboard, 4GB DDR2 800 Memory (not stable with 4x1GB at 800, so now running with a 366 bus speed, slight OC). Back at the folding game, let's see how I manage now with this host. Running two instances of 6.01 client. I haven't read the...

I'll go and read a bit more about lenses, thanks for the links and comments!

Hi, I'm thinking about buying either one of these: CANON EF-S 55-250 MM F4-5.6 IS CANON OBJ. EF 75-300 MM F4.0-5.6 III USM Any comments on either of them? They seem to be the ones in the right price range. For the first one, which I would prefer (the IS part...), they aren't sure when it will...

Hi fellas! Anyone been using the above mentioned HD's, any experience from workstation usage / general experience from it? Getting a few of those to some workstations, the 68pin 146GB version, wondering how they have been behaving. Looking at the SR review now. JoJo

Thanks, I'll boot the machine up and see if that helps!

Hi, having problem with a computer that has been crashing. Checked that the latest BIOS was there along with the latest drivers. Added ASUS ACPI driver along with some vacuuming of the internals. No crashes now, been running some prime and 3dmark on it. The problem, when trying to run system...

Yup, you're correct.

Just bought one DVA with the Rat Pack and one DVD. Duh! The DVD was some darn hoax with some new fellas doing a show acting as Frank, Dean and Sammy! What a waste of money :( The DVA was good, a show that really got me in a good mood (The Cognac might have helped, and having little Joonatan...

Excellent :) Hmmm, reminds me of why I like dogs more than cats...

System audit anyone? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/04/06/bofh_episode_12/

Darn, didn't notice that.....*rushing to update*

Oh, and one more thing, I think a good way to get necessary basic understanding of linux is to go through all the aspects required for a linux LPIC/RHCE certification. That's the basis to build further knowledge and specialisation areas on.

I've many times looked at the Citizen Promaster divers watches, but it has never really "clicked" for me to buy it, I don't know why because it's a very good looking watch! Same thing really with the Tag Heuer divers watch, not really clicked for me even though I drool about it a long time.

My latest watch, bought it today and loving it: http://www.traserh3watches.com/en/watches/detail.php?kat=2&watch=6 The only better looking would be the Commander 100. Or maybe Smith&Wesson Executive Titanium...

Roger, thanks!

I'm running WinXP SP2 now on a Athlon X2 4200+. What would be the benefits I'd get from installing the 64bit version? Can I simply upgrade to that one? Do you recommend it or not? To stay with the current setup or not?

Linux Professional Institute test are not so much "vendor" specific, and they are actually quite thorough in my opinion. RHCE is pretty much "the" linux cert to get, it is the one that is known and respected from what I've seen.

Hehee :) "Fair enough," the Boss says, realising he's both cornered and busted. "In THAT situation, MAYBE I would want to test my laptop for it's ability to fall from the roof of a building, but that's hardly li.." Get the whole story here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/03/09/bofh_episode_9/

My favourite at the moment is Dr. House, and my wife loves Lost. Don't have much time to watch TV at the moment, junior is keeping us busy :). Merry Christmas everyone!

Wow, what ever happened to this place? I'm gone for a while (vacation) and now there's a totally new facelifted site to visit! Looks good, I like it! J

I hear a train approaching.....:(

Just upgraded my Win comp to X2 4200, running 2 instances. Running one instance under vmware on my P4 3200 (linux). 2 laptops (t40 and t43) running most of the time.

Great, just when I got vmware+windows XP installed on my linux box. It's working on it's second QMD.

Good work Doug! Thanks!

It is, and has been. But no QMD. I just put verbose logging on, waiting for it to finish a packet, then I'll se what it reports to the server about the memory (a low memory value might explain why it's not getting qmd).

I've got my P4 3.2HT folding, but it hasn't gotten a QMD even though it has 1GB of memory. Running linux. This is holding me back quite a lot, as it's on 24/7. Any ideas? Seems I need to install vmware and XP on it to get QMDs :( .

Merry Christmas to everyone! PS our present arrived 16.12.05, a healthy boy! :) http://thejojo.no-ip.com/P1010132.JPG Watch out, big pic. Let me know if the url does not work.

Not possible. Gotta make the best of it. So a modchip is a musthave, to get any use of that thing. Thanks everyone.

With any luck I'll have 2xP4 3.2 for a few days folding. Fire up you computers gentlemen, the winter is here ! Brrr, waiting for summer already ;)

I've got a 250GB Maxtor lying around here, any use in using that in the XBox? Does it support large HD's? Anyone here own an Xbox?

We seem to be getting an XBox for christmas, and now I'm wondering what to do with it? It's the original model. So any recommendations what to do with it, to get games and FAH working on it? ;)

Stanford would wan't you to run 1 instance, so they get the results faster. But if you want more points, run 2 instances on a P4 HT. QMD just requires lot's of memory, don't see it changing the above statement.

Should I run one or two instances of FAH on a P4 HT doing QMD?

*grumblemumble* Running with my P4 3.2, 2xA64 3.2 and my T40 1.6, and not getting more units than this produced, grumble....using forceasm and advmethods on all.

I've been using a Twinmos 512MB player for workout. It was very cheap for having that much memory. Recommended.

Found a Seasonic 430W, WONDERFUL thing! Very low noise, just what the doctor ordered for my PC.
