David, I should have mentioned that I found much of the speech to be insightful and interesting. It was not my intention to sound completely negative though in reviewing my early post it certainly seems as if I have nothing good to say about it. What I find objectionable in regards to Bush is...

James, With all due respect to your Father I must take issue with several of his statements. First and foremost I object to his harsh characterization of G.W. Bush and his reaction to the 911 attack. It was unfair, needlessly inflammatory, and in my opinion, completely misstates the truth about...

For software - the quality and features of Adobe Premier are hard to beat. It is an expensive program however ($600). The cheapest way to get it is through buying a bundle. I use a Pinnacle DV200 which came with Premier 6.0 for a little under $300.00. It works fine in Win 9X or 2K but Pinnacle...

Nice going Doug! BTW - Where in Mass are you? I was born in Methuen. Most of my family are from the Lawrence, Methuen and Lowell area.

"Nail" ... Australian for "Rack". :)

I built and flew many R/C planes in years past. Flying takes a while to learn. As you know when your R/C car is heading directly towards you the left - right control is reversed so to speak. Same thing with planes and that takes a while to learn to compensate for. Landing is also not as easy at...

I have no idea. Just some goofy dog?

I stole it from someone on another site :). Whenever I come across one I like, I save it.

PS - In addition to the stiff upper lip aspect of Zulu, the most interesting aspect of the film was the way in which Chard and Bromful's (I think that was his name) relationship matured to one of mutual respect for one another despite their difference in social rank.

It was Stanly Baker. The Color Sargeant most definately had a stiff upper lip. Geat flick by the way, one of my favorites.

Gary is a bold explorer who makes a giant splash wherever he goes whether he is in his corvair, or just acing like a nut. Beat that guys!

Q) Who is Carly Simon? A) I don't know.

Damn I got beat to the post again. :(

Q) Who said "I can stop buying shoes any time I want"? A) .Nut

Q) What is the breakfast of champions? A) Blistex

It is a classic example of an author not understanding that it is quality that matters, not quantity. She is trying too hard to be a good writer. It is Hemmingway's simplicity which makes his works great.

He's dead sexy.

Here he is now... [/url]

How about a motherboard with a Country Western theme? You know... with some cowboy boot graphics and a mule or two... Or maybe a white trash model? Built out of used parts and held together with bailing wire? A nice graphic of a double-wide on the back... why not?

My system never bogs down. Of course I probably don't run the intense apps that James does. But even so I have been running four instances of SETI in the past which results in 100% cpu usage and still no bogging unless I set the priotrity for SETI at the maximum level. From I've seen XP Pro does...

Well I bought both the board and the cpus right after they became available and prices have droped since then. So I'll price them at todays prices. The 2.2 xeons are $311 each. The Supermicro P4DC6+ is $617 or $398 without the onboard scsi (P4DCE). 512mb RDRAM (2x256) $206 TOTAL. Lite-on FS120...

I'm sitting here typing while frame serving a movie I captured out of Adobe Premier into virtual dub which is encoding in Divx while at the same time ripping a movie with the smartripper. CPU usage is only 27%. There are very few multi threaded programs I've seen which can achieve 100% cpu usage...

Nice boards but they really need some hydraulics and a lime green sofa to be 'da bomb.

Thanks for the tip Buck! We haven't been out there yet as Owen's grandmothers have each kept Emily's guest bedroom booked solid. SF seems like a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there either.

Or four instances if you have dual Prestonia Xeons.

San Francisco. My daughter, Emily, and her husband Chad have been living out there since she graduated from college a few years ago. He's a software engineer and a very decent sort. Emily was going to go to law school until the baby came about. She had been accepted and was all set to go. Oh...

Careful... that's my grandson you're talking about Buck. :)

Speaking of which, Jason will be getting his "wings" err.. "rotors" very soon, or so he says. Lord help the innocent folks in Texas. I imagine he'll have .50 caliber guns and a few rockets on his helicopter the first chance he gets.

Now there's a great username if I ever saw one. 8)

Any of you Guys tried Divx 5 yet? I have found it to be superior to anything else out there. And I mean anything. Anyone know how to encode with Tmpgenc using Divx?

As I have no plans on becoming a Pimp in the near future, I fear I must pass on such a splendid buying opportunity for now. :eekers:

Ah so... had it been me who were asked that I would have answered - "Real men sleep on rocks." :)

Congratulations!

Buck, Do you like sleeping on rocks?

Welcome E_dawg. I wish could Ice Skate. I have weak ankles and they always buckle in. Very embarrassing and uncomfortable. I was reduced to sliding in my sneakers over the ice when I was a kid. Once in a while the sliding was unintentionally done on the seat of my pants. 8)

Is that good?

Do you approve of a married person to have an affair? By affair, I mean as defined below in definition number 3. "Main Entry: af·fair Pronunciation: &-'fAr, -'fer Function: noun Etymology: Middle English & Middle French; Middle English affair, from Middle French, from a faire to do Date: 14th...

Were I as prone to starting trouble as you are Pradeep, I would reply to the above by saying - "Yes, we sent our Australian troops in...". Thank God my manners prohibit me from saying so. :) [runs for cover]

A Lady never tells...

I saw a link to this in another forum and it looked so odd I thought I would post it over here. At first I thought it was a fake looking at the image below, but then the link to A-open seems genuine enough. It's been or 30 years or more since I've seen one of the machines in a drug store that...

Two motherboards?

Solution = Intel :) [runs for cover]

Happy Birthday Guys! When will you be through with med school prof?

P.S. You can also compare results with 2 processors. Again the xeons lead the pack.

Here's a link to Ace's SPEC2000 page where you can compare all the SPEC tests by all sorts of criteria. Basically the order of results doesn't change much. http://www.aceshardware.com/SPECmine/

Well any boy who doesn't push to the edge of the envelope on occasion isn't living life to the fullest.

Gee, thanks for the "help" James. :)

Well for some reason they did not include the Xeon cpu's. Only the Xeon MPs. Here are the results from Ace's with the Xeon's and P4 included.

He has already.
