OK, this is a stupid question, but I'm not feeling well and I don't have much patience right now. I have a Microsoft Optical Wheel Mouse that is double-clicking about 50% of the time instead of single clicking. I can hear what sounds like a spring bouncing when I click the left mouse button, and...

Red Hat's Chief Executive: Stick with Windows at Home

I don't eat fast food very often, but when I do McDonalds (they have the only fries I like) and Taco Bell are usually what I prefer. There's lots of very good small restaurants around here, serving just about every type of food, to choose from, so if I wanted to eat out, the only reason to pick...

Thanks for the update, Buck. If you get the chance to try them out on monitors that do 1600x1200, could you let us know how they look? P.S. I hope you're not too close to those fires out there.

Has anyone else tried the Winamp 5 beta? It's built off the Winamp 2.X code base, but has a new media library, which makes it easier to organize and create playlists for your files. It also supports ripping CDs to AAC, but ripping to MP3 will only be available in the future Pro version, which...

The Shields Up test only tests the public IP address, which is assigned to the router. All the PC on your LAN have private IP addresses, so they aren't seen. If I run the test, I get the exact same results as you (all ports stealth, except 113), and I don't have a firewall on this PC, because...

From OSNews: and from Mandrake's page: Something to keep in mind for those that want to try Mandrake 9.2.

If you have a router between the net and your system, then you would be testing the router. To really test your system, you would have to hook it up directly to your cable modem.

IIRC from my parents' Toshiba, all the extra programs and utilites were listed under Add/Remove Programs in the control panel, so they should be easy to remove.

I think it's HP that has the built-in expiration on the cartridges. Any 6-color Canon or Epson should give good results for your friend.

It has been quiet around here. I visit often, but just haven't been in a posting mood. I've just been bored with the whole computer industry, lately.

Ati has said that there isn't any problem.

Don't worry. I'm sure you can beat me... if I can find my install disc & key.

Someone should tell the NY Post who won the game. Yeah, and after watch the Mets suck all summer, I get to watch the Rangers suck all winter.

Even the Governor is getting on him. I feel sorry for the guy.

That makes me feel old. I still have my Atari 2600 and NES. Both still worked, the last time I hooked them up.

I hate the Yankees.

On to the bottom of the ninth... There's been some great games this postseason. I was hoping for Cubs vs. Red Sox, but that obviously won't happen.

Just become a politician. :lol:

They have another test, if you have some time to kill. This one said:

I got 135 and Visual Mathematician. :roll: I don't put much weight on these things.

Another article. April 2004 is the date, now.

It will be delayed: The Register :(

I'm sure Hollywood will try to do everything it can to ensure they won't be affordable.

Welcome to the world of broadband! :)

Yes, they did already in 14 markets, and they'll be doing it in the rest of the country.

I just checked, and I'm running the Aug 23 build, which is newer than the official 0.6.1 build. You may still be able to get it working in your version by typing about:config in the URL bar. See if general.autoScroll is there, and if it is, set it to true.

I sent it to you, Doug, but my ISPs mail server seems to be dropping some of my messages today, so just let me know if you get it.

Hmm, it should be enabled by default. It's under Tools->Options->Advanced and click Use Autoscrolling. It works fine with my Microsoft optical mouse.

Firebird does that now. :wink:

As seen on Slashdot, the source code for Half-Life 2 has been leaked. This is bad news, and I'm not sure how it'll affect the release of the game, or if it'll make cheating more prevalent. Here is Gabe Newell's statement on the leak.

I got 38 out of 50. :(

On the way...

I did create a quick chart (in PDF format) if anyone wants it. It has the warranty info from the top five manufacturers for drives sold in North America. I didn't include warranty info for the EU or Australia, though.

They've changed the page again. Here it is, in case they change it yet again: WTF is up with these companies putting shorter warranties in retail drives? It's all garbage. I'm going with Samsungs from now on.

Yep. ADSL is capable up to 8Mbps at 9000 ft, and 2Mbps at 12,000 ft (see the bottom of this page), but I don't know of any DSL providers that provide that as the standard service. Also, all cable providers in the US are capped, except Cablevision, which is what I have.

I didn't read it closely enough. They're not affected.

Our choices are getting fewer and fewer. :( Does this affect the warranty status of drives already bought?

SAP.

According to this PDF, the drivers are included on the XP CD.

Yep, it's fine now. You have to hit shift + refresh to clear the old style sheet from your browsers cache to take the change.

After hitting shift + refresh, now it happens to me in Firebird.

It doesn't happen to me with Firebird, but it does when I tried it with IE.

Congrats!!

Yes, it is. It suits my needs just fine.

Isn't that the same thing as just opening up your favorite word processor, using that to type and spell check, then copy and paste from there?

No problems here, either.

Six hours! What RAR program did you use? I can unrar CD size files with WinRAR 3.2 in about a minute on my PC.
