Better notify the editors of that online dictionary and point out their mistake.

Is this any help, Bahngeist? http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBI/tip4400/rh4493.htm ---Steve .

organization I know that English is not your primary language, Coug. You know I was just razzing you.

Good Christ! That boy is having a felony bad hair & face day.

That was original...Worked with Opera too.

Charity organism.... That's almost as bad as "Back in the pre-A fitting end to a recalcitrant piece of hardware" Coug. :wink:

I voted no.

Like I mentioned, svchost.exe processes are like carriers for separate services. You can "look inside" each svchost.exe process to see which services it is supporting by using Process Explorer in the way I described above. Just for instance, I tend to go very heavy on disabling unneeded...

Apologies for that gibberish. I wasn't done editing that post yet and hit submit instead of preview by mistake. That second sentence was to be removed and "apocolyspe" was to be correctly spelled as "apocalypse". The addition of the 2nd was also to be deleted. No editing ability, <sigh>...

A fitting end to a recalcitrant piece of hardware. Back in the pre-A fitting end to a recalcitrant piece of hardware. Back in the pre-apocolyspe SR days I img'ed several similar pictures from an American web site that dealt exclusively with destroying PC hardware. The address of that site was...

Not down, just misspelled. http://www.blkviper.com/WinXP/service411.htm

Here is another suggestion: Download this tool and run it. Right click "Services.exe" and select properties. On the following page select the Services tab. This will give you a list of all the services running under that particular Services.exe. Using that list for reference, you could try...

I've been using an Epox 8K3A+ (KT333) for a few months now and have been very happy with it. It is similar to the 8K5A2. It is quite stable and outstanding in its CPU overclocking ability. No PS/2 problems, either.

I've read in the past that the Indexing Service can run away and cause 100% CPU loads. Have you tried disabling it?

Well spoken, JTR. Of course, the managers of certain companies are so corrupt and evil that they'll promise no/reduced layoffs if they get "X" amount of people to retire and then wipe out a big chunk of workers anyway. <ahem>

Damn glad to hear that, Doug. I had wondered from time to time how that was going for you after we discussed on ICQ. You deserve a jar of ale, my treat.

It does not appear in any of my back issues of Gun Tests. (Going back to 1992)

My first choice would be to purchase the barrel from a local gunsmith. Just the make and model number should be sufficient to get you the barrel you need. The largest online/mail-order source of parts and equipment is Brownells. http://www.brownells.com/index.html I am skimming through their...

Well, here is an article that I just scanned out of one of my back issues of GT. It is a comparison of various Sabot slug brands. I hate to say it, but I have serious doubts about you getting much accuracy with Sabot-slugs through a smooth bore. Buckshot *might* be more compatible in this...

I would agree with the answer given by jfeenin. Get a rifled slug barrel for your 20 gauge and use good quality sabot-slug. Are you using a shotgun for deer because of local laws or for lack of a rifle? --Steve

All my focus has been on air cooling. I have never used peltier or water cooling on a PC and am only familiar with the rudiments of their use. The product has not even been launched yet. According to the Active Cool website, the "AC4G (is to) to be launched at COMDEX, Las Vegas, November 18–22...

Just got done running some UT2003 with these drivers. Somehow I am getting some very odd textures. <heh heh>

There is a thread on the 41.03's over at NVNews, if you're interested. The typically negative group in that forum is giving quite a bit of praise to these new drivers. (relatively, that is) I might have to upgrade from the 40.72's and give the, a try...

I have tried both O&O and Perfect Disk. They will defragment the Page file, but not relocate it to an optimum postion, AFAIK. Also, the cool little program PageDefrag from Sysinternals will defrag the paging file. Who knows, Clip? It may be that NSW-SD gives different options and results even...

I appreciate the last comprehensive suggestion that you stated but it requires more resources than I possess. (Extra partitions and/or HDs) From the research I have done, Speed Disk is supposedly the only Win2K/WinXP defragmenter capable of optimizing the location of the NTFS page file. In...

Yes Mark, but the problem is that I can't get it moved to the front of the disk in the first place. This is why I am asking for help. The solution I am seeking is how to get the pagefile to the front of the disk. --Steve

Correct. "ClearPageFileAtShutdown" is a security feature that causes an overwrite of the paging file at shutdown. Enabling it will cause any sensitive data within the paging file to be destroyed before the computer reboots/shuts down. The reason I mentioned it was because I was curious if a...

Sure. You can list files and wildcards under "Unmovable files." I tried putting pagefile.sys under that category and ran a defrag session. No dice. It stayed at the bottom as it is in the picture in the first post. Not in my installation, unfortunately. When Norton SW 2003 is installed on a...

Through the Speed Disk file placement options? I already have it set that way. "Pagefile.sys" is the the sole entry on my "Files First" list. Already done. I keep the paging file defragmented and contiguous. Already done. As I mentioned above I keep the min & max pagefile sizes the same. (I...

Using NTFS file system. The problem is that even though I specify the pagefile.sys to be placed first on the disk, ahead of all other files, it ends up down at the bottom. Fullscreen Snapshot It doesn't happen immediately, but migrates down several weeks (and defragmentations) following a...

To clarify, I haven't actually tried the Omegas. Seeing that posting was enough to dissuade me.

Unlimited time to edit one's own posts. This is especially important when a person wants to edit a "For Sale" item's price, etc. I have had to ask moderators here to edit a few my posts in the past. The notion of having to go tug on someone's shirtsleeve and ask "Can you please help me?" is...

I don't buy it

48X TY's are what I use, myself. But that is for data. If a person wants to make decent looking diskt@2's the best media is as I described above. The older Verbatim metal AZO's might be found elsewhere, BTW. Here is a comparison between a 32X Verbatim Super AZO disk (top), a 16X Verbatim Metal...

Gary, Strangely, the best quality CD-Rs (PhthaloCyanine dye) yield the poorest DiskT@2 results. The best DiskT@2 results can be had using older (16X and slower) Verbatim CD-Rs that use Metal AZO dye. Newer Verbatim CD-Rs use what they call "Super AZO" dye which isn't nearly as good. Some...

I always alter the value of that setting in the registry after installing WinXP. I use setting "2" Default seems to be "3" (WinXP Pro) Here is the info I have on it which came from a tweak guide somewhere and that I have stored: --Steve .

The far reaching effects of Y2K hysteria.

I thought you knew me better, of course I wasn't serious.

I also nominate Jake. He's a good guy. The last thing we need around here is another treacherous Yankee moderator; right Coug? :wink:

Yes....You should have told him "No problem Jason, that'll be 150 'Roo dollars and half of your soul to the Bill and Buttundra Gates foundation."

**GULP!**

Nice review Doug. [inside joke]Maybe you should go back and take the yellow shirt guy's picture.[/inside joke]

As a final offer to the SF crew, I am asking $120/shipped and will include 30 700MB 16X CD-R's with in the bargain. --Steve
