They're all awesome! You're making me envious! I wish I had a cat. :( My top four favorites... One Two Three Four If you have no objections I might use a couple for backgrounds at work. Honestly, number #1 and #3 above make Zelda look like she ought to be in a professional cat show or in...

You know ... following some of the other links, I really don't want to know. Forget I asked ... sorry!

Different person? Note: sorry in advance for asking if it's a painful topic. Don't follow the link if so (although it is at least just imdb.com).

Actually yah, I'm a cat nut, so I would like to see them. :)

What?! No cat pictures?! ;)

Wow. Can't handled "curl" and "die", but it can handle Oriya. Weeeeird. :)

କଜଚପଳଗଅଯ ଳଠଶ୧େହ!!

Hmm ... I ran into a 403 Forbidden error while trying to post a while back. I just assumed something was screwy and forgot about it. I can't think what I would have been trying to post that would have included the etymological duo of doom. Are there other words that can cause this?

This is a test of your test. :)

Mercutio -- you are a genuinely good person. I wish I could help somehow. :-?

I turned 30 in September. :P :P

If it's the power supply, it was coincidence it happened during a power failure. We have a few hundred recent model Dells where I work. You shut them down. You power them back up. Or rather you try; they don't power back up. It doesn't matter if you went through a normal system shutdown...

(I've said it before but I have to say it again: you have a beautiful cat there, Handy. :) )

Count yourselves lucky that you have a credit score. My efforts to avoid credit cards appear to have worked wonders. I applied for a credit card for the first time last month. I was denied because, "you do not have sufficient established revolving credit accounts and you do not have a...

Dell set to disappoint universe again

If not /var/spool/mail, then where? Isn't that location pretty much standard across the board? (Specialized / highly tuned systems excepted of course.)

Or perhaps supernatural? :wink: Do you hear moaning and the sound of rattling chains when you enter the server room?

Unless something has changed in the past 3 years that I haven't heard about... Write capacity for NTFS shares is experimental, and has been that way for a while. You would probably need to build a custom kernel with an obscure patch to enable it. And then you'd be toying with fire. Reading...

Oh sure, I believe you when you say there is no case speaker, but are you sure there isn't a tiny piezo-buzzer mounted on the motherboard itself? On the boards I own that have one of those, it's disabled automatically should you connect a real case speaker to the motherboard at the correct...

That looks like a PostScript error page. If you have an option titled "Enable PostScript Error Handler" somewhere under one of the advanced properties for your printer driver, set it to disabled. HP and Microsoft printer drivers default to "enabled" -- and that's a joke. It's not an error...

Ok, I give in; I'll ask. Lost: what the heck did you do to your toe??

Nobody will believe me but... I work in a small office area that was sectioned out of an active underground parking garage. There are still stripes on the floor in some places. The ground shakes a lot when even a moderately laden truck drives above or onto our level. And once in a while I...

. Cover your eyes, Tannin! It's a PC Chips M811 motherboard. According to the manual, it includes a "VIA KT266A + VT8235 chipset" and it "accomodates AMD Athlon processors with FSB speeds up to 133MHz." Does that help? I did actually get this board up and running using my Duron processor at...

Hah. I was just thinking about that and was going to ask... I unearthed an evil PC Chips motherboard over the weekend that actually came free (yes, they're giving these things away!) with the 1.6MHz Duron processor that's running in my main system. So ... if anyone has an old Duron processor...

This evening I set up that Pentium Pro motherboard I tried to give away earlier this year. It's running with a 200MHz processor. I just did the math for the current work unit: it's going to take 28 days to complete! :o

I'm just guessing here: perhaps there is a sensor that detects how full the cartridge is and it now has gunk all over it (a similar thing can happen with an HP DesignJet and its "drop detector" and "service station" assembly). Or perhaps it's one of those delightful cash-grabs, where a...

I'm surprised that completing one measly work unit has raised my standing so much. I'll try to leave the client running, but with only a 1.6 MHz Duron, I'm not sure it will make much of a difference for the team statistics. :-?

Could be worse, I guess. Maybe.

Yeesh. Why so complicated and expensive? To see an example of "the perfect notebook", look no further.

That is such a good point, Tea. Congrats Merc. :)

I don't wear a watch either. I haven't in about 4 years ... my cell phone kind of took over the time and (occasional) alarm roles.

Elizabeth Berkeley?

I wish I had a good enough Internet connection to stream outbound video.

Tannin, how the heck did you wind up working with dusty, boring computers? You should have been a professional photographer!

The crickets are deafening.

:rofl:

I had a few in mind, but I'd never post them here. :)

Thanks Mercutio. And Buck... are you developing another personality? :)

1. You have a Windows 2003 server. 2. You have some random turkey as a user. 3. Said turkey can only access two shares on said server. They have no console access. 4. Said shares contain a load of folders, which occasionally contain loads of files. Question: How can the account...

Ouch. If it's PostScript you're using, a Linux box with a home-brewed Ruby script and Ghostscript might do the job. Not exactly an out-of-the-box solution though. :(

Howell, I know I must be missing something here, because I really want to reply, "or you could just turn the paper over in the tray," but I know I'm just not seeing the whole picture here. What is it about these forms that make it impossible to simply reorient them, as opposed to having the...

Well that's it. I'm going to intentionally start my system up tonight without a DHCP server around and see how things play out. I'll post back here with the results.

Oh I tried that one. All it did was disable and then reenable the network. It had no effect on DHCP and whether I had an IP address or not. Kind of disappointing really.

Uhh ... any printer that has a duplexer installed?

I bought 3 brand new Samsung 48x CD-ROM drives last month for $4.95 each.

I'm still here. I'm always here.

I thought I'd read that one of the improvements to Acrobat 7.0 is that it doesn't load all the available plug-ins at startup, rather it loads them on demand. I forget where I read that ... was it here?

Here?

I'd prefer to see that coal used to generate electricity or hydrogen, and then have cars run off that. Sure it's less efficient, but it would get us to the point of finally having a universal energy adapter. That way, when coal runs out -- or a better energy source arrives -- you just switch...
