I'm not sure if I understand you correctly, but I just checked and was able to initialize readyboost on a flash drive that was already plugged in at bootup. Asus is also selling a motherboard with a NAND flash module attached...

Microsoft got the technology for Virtual PC when they acquired Connectix. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_PC

That would depend on what type of machine is being purchased, and whether the features of that machine require a different SKU for its installation. Media Center and Tablet PC for instance would require installation of Vista Premium. Activation can be delayed at install, with Aero coming...

I was just thinking the other day that someone needs to create a Gamix live CD distro. It would basically be a distribuition platform for developing or porting popular games that could be played on a PC in a similar fashion to the way games are loaded and played on gaming consoles. This...

I finally took the time for an eye appt for both contacts and glasses this summer, after having worn the same pair of broken frames for almost a year. I found that my glasses prescription was almost exactly the same, but my contact prescription was radically different for one eye. The...

At one point there were two different Sonic programs. Sonic RecordNow Deluxe (the in-house version) and Sonic RecordNow Max (formerly Stomp software). RecordNow Max was actually a fairly good competitor to Adaptec/Roxio EZ-CD back in the days when Nero was just a blip on the radar...

All I could think from reading this thread is that Tannin had a Basil Fawlty moment, and it's alright to have one of those every now and again. Some of us quite look forward to them in fact. Mr K sounds like one of those customers who comes in as much for the company as for the product, or...

Sounds like a fairly normal cat, albeit considerably more athletic than what is expected from a house cat. I'm not a cat expert, but eating an occasional insect should not hurt her, as a supplement to her ordinary diet. It might help to know what varieties of moths exist in your area, but...

You make some good points, but I can get either without going over my set budget for the part. I have been an ATI user for many years, and with a chance to build a new box. I've realized I really need a little first hand experience on the other side of the fence. Thanks for the insight.

Would you guys consider the X700 as better than a 6600GT? I'm returning a (refurbished) Leadtek card that does not want to work in the primary PCIE slot, and was considering whether I should try another Nvidia or go back to ATI.

That would be a dealbreaker, this is not a end all solution, its only one component in an overall setup. It is designed to be as simple as possible to allow for further backup/complexity to come from the rest of the system. Your suggestion only works as far as the assumption that you...

Well, somebody still has to have those cable/sattelite feeds, or there wouldn't be anyone around to convert the show into XVid to put online. And many of us are in a position to watch more TV, or have others in the family who watch more TV that even what bittorrent provides. (At least I hope...

Sorry about the second part of that reply, I thought I edited that out.

Perhaps that is part of the problem. I'm not offended by the idea of you quoting scripture any more than I would be of someone quoting the Bhagavad Gita. the writings of Confucious, or the seminars of Zig Ziglar or Tony Robbins. What gets me (as evidenced by this thread) is the attitude...

I don't think the whole topic is worth a versus thread. Both forums are highly valued and comparably better than some other "tech-oriented" forums. The character of SR has changed since the crash, partly because many of the old-timers moved on, partly because many of the old-trolls moved...

Roxio was created as a spin-off of Adaptecs software division, back in the days thier main product was still called EZ-CD creator. On of their more stellar moves was buying out WinOnCD from a German company, then promptly killing support for it in the U.S. I've found nothing in XP's...

Figures... I just bought a WD2500JB the other day.

Passive termination is not good enough. And that is probably not a cable that is rated for the higher spec speeds you are trying to reach.

I was listening to an interview about this on NPR the other day, and they pointed out something interesting... Honda, Toyota, and any other hybrid manufacturer can't be "up front" about it, because EPA regulations prohibit advertising any milage ratings other than those provided by the EPA...

I don't think he's done a good job with this war; so far he's gotten lucky that the overlap of transition from invasion to occupation has not blown up in his face completely. To me, this is another example of how poor forward planning on the part of the DOD has led to another incident...

Fuji CDs made in Japan are Taiyo Yuden, those made in Taiwan are CMC magnetics IIRC. The ones made in Japan are highly favored.

(oh yeah, and Clint Eastwood flew one). I don't recall him flying one... was that in FireFox?

If its imaginary money you be needing, and I can imagine all my debts to be assets... Then I can spot you $1000 US into the pot ($1330 AUD) as long as try and get her some zpelling lezzonz during her incarceration. I'd offer some of our (suddenly) surplus beef for a crash Atkins diet...

"We've discussed about this software before in the forum, but now that it's been released..." Correction, this is still pre-release (beta) software.

I'm still trying to figure out where they are going to find an "ordinary desktop PC" with six PCI slots.

That also gives them more time to test and validate the fixes, so we don't end up with performance disabling "features" or patches to fix the holes created by the previous patch. And correct me if I'm wrong; but with the exception of the Qhosts trojan, the majority of recent patches have...

Hmmm, Boy: Zoltan Tea Banana(s) Pradeep aka ZTB Pradeep Girl: Barbarella Tea Banana(s) Pradeep aka BTB Pradeep Oh, and please do have fun on your trip.

From a QDGS: (Quick & Dirty Google Search) Central Point - Makers of Pctools CP aquired Xtree first, then Symantec bought out CP. Xtree clones have flourished however, like Ztree and UnixTree. http://www.xtreefanpage.org/lowres/x20hist.htm You may recall they also bought out Delrina...

I needed an all-in-one jobber for a convention I just got back from yesterday. I volunteer as logistics coordinator, and help out on the back end with minor computer functions (ie. "We need to print this document and forgot our printer"; or "We a running out of this form, and need some...

Have you heard of Thumbsplus? It is a database application that can automatically catalog your images and lets you create specific categories to fit them into later.

Got the file. Ooh La La... One minor issue: ( I retrieved the file using Forte Agent as my email program; from which I had to save the attachment out as a text file and decoded it seperately. Then I used unzip 5.32 (freeware) to unzip the file. ) The issue is that it unzipped without...

In the past week there were a couple of news stories about new methods that have been developed to create artificials diamonds that are at equal (to better) quality to their naturally mined counterparts. What struck me from the news items was not so much the possibility of offerring serious...

I have brothers like that too. Unfortunately they live too far away to kidnap me to anywhere interesting. Tell them next time they pull something like that, at least tell you to bring you camera (and extra batteries/storage).

Your choice, but it would seem you limit your own position to argue against his work by that stance. It appears you are reading more into Mercutio's opinion on the movie than he has stated. He doesn't seem to be coming across as a MM cheerleader here. You don't have to agree with...

I like it sounds vague enough that you could include most of the other professions in its job description. 11. ...Yes, it is a real job. 12. ...Weren't they getting together again? 19. ...At least they (the good ones) get protective gear and training on what to watch out for...

Haven't upgraded to MMC 8.1 yet, but... Have you tried http://www.digital-digest.net/downloads/files/DisableATIMacrovisionDetection.zip found at http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/articles/macrovision_graphics.html there are reports over at rage3d forums indicating it *might* work. I'll be...

The reason they are charging is because they switched the DVD player code over to one provided by the same company that makes PowerDVD (Cybermedia?) and there are licensing issues involved with bundling it into the whole package. AFAIK, you can download all the other updates (in parts)...

AFAIK: There are a couple of freeware DVD decoders available in the US. All you need for a DVD decoder is a supporting MPEG-2 codec to decode the VOB files. I think what is potentially in violating of US law is the decrypting of the VOB files on most commercial DVDs. All member companies...

Downloaded it, haven't installed it yet. looking forward to some of the touted features I saw demo'ed a few months ago.

What article? :-?

XP was already out before the Mt Rainier spec was finalized IIRC. They have announced support for it in Longhorn. (Windows.NET?)

For those that don't make an image backup of your drive prior to loading any (suspicious) new software: DirectX 9 Uninstaller (freeware) http://www.majorgeeks.com/article.php?sid=2935&cat=28&PHPSESSID=d8f26af5d31dcd091e784605dc9cdfca

Which version of the DVD player were you running? Most of the time the suggestion I see at rage3d.com is to install a newer version of the DVD player.

According to http://wesley.stanford.edu/computer_history/WINDOWS.HTM Windows was announced in 1983 and first shipped in 1985, two years before the announcement of OS/2. According to http://www.granneman.com/techinfo/backgrou/history/ IBM & MS started development of OS/2 in 1983, but...

Another online scan that has be recommended to me before: Panda Antivirus http://www.pandasoftware.es/activescan/activescan-com.asp I switched to it after housecall decided one day that it did not want to work on my system anymore. Otherwise I have AVG running on the other system. I also...

This is a rather late reply, but I have a FIC VA-503+ board that is running with a WD800BB right now. IIRC FIC had to come out with a "not officially supported" BIOS update to allow it to be recognized. Since then I have moved that drive onto a Promise ATA-100 controller I had lying...

I'm not familiar with SXMS, but some new standards can be kept from wide adoption because the older method is/was revised to provide the same functionality over time that the new proposed standard was supposed to address. As to you semi-serious response: 1) You could also say it's fairly...
