i'm very happy it except for one issue. it doesn't like restarting... did you have this prob James? it stalls at the post screen. i have to physically turn it off, and keep it off for a few minutes before it will boot into XP.

thanks for the heads-up James. I ended changing cases and reseating the HSF using Artic Silver thermal paste. temps are now at 48-50C & 52-54C :)

i'll leave my vote for when all entries are submitted!

for The JoJo: (image based on the reaction JoJo might have upon learning this is the avatar I created for him!)

aw, she's a cutie NRG :)

i haver a copy of EZ-Drive which is WD's disk manager. if the tools that blakerwry suggested don't work for you, perhaps EZ-Drive will. it's less than a meg in size too.

OK so in the pool are: blakerwry Cliptin Dozer Handruin Jake the Dog Pradeep slo crostic Sol Tannin Tea The JoJo we need one more person to make an even dozen. next issue; how do we randomly and secretly 'decide' who gets to change who's avatar?

knickers, i meant knickers lol. freudian slip perhaps?

Question: add 4 inches to your knockers and you get a ... ? Answer: umbra.

congrats on getting through Doug!. you're obviously a valued employee.

i'd like to petition a name change to something like "Cult of the Drunken Bovines" if Tea's to be our "Grand High Sock Puppet" does that make most of us 'Hole in the Sock Serfs"?

and dare i say: and Young and Jacksons and Elephant and Wheelbarrow and ... :P

i can understand that. rest assured that I, in fact I know I can speak for all here, know that you are no such thuggish redneck, we know you are indeed a gentleman :)

Question: what sensation would Elmer Fudd describe as the best part of a rabbit hunt? Answer: Twine

that is exactly what the article I read was suggesting. perhaps Pradeep, 70% of people that legally own handguns are thugs and gang members who won't hesitate to use their guns whenever it suits them :P seriosuly though, I've yet to get the learn the original source of the figure I quoted, it...

Pradeep, I wish you had read my post properly for you've been too hasty to shout bullshit and the 70% figure I quoted still stands and it relates to all handgun crime. the figures you quote are related to homicide only. there's big difference there sunshine. the article from which I quotes the...

well, if i didn't have to take our quad xeon box offline then i'd say yes. now i'm not so sure as i need it for a few weeks for testing. we'll know in a few weeks i guess!

thanks for the suggestion guys. doug, i'm already using includes but unfortunately the javascript i want to used can't be used in an include :(

i have 2 lines of text that i want to replace with 40 lines of text in about 40 html pages. i've been unable to find a text editor that can do a mass find and replace such as i need. a find a few apps that could run a large batch job but they didn't support a large amount of text. does anyone...

uh-oh, the gun zealots (:P) are trying to make the "it will never work" point again... let me jump in and provide the following statistic: of all the hand gun crimes commited in Australia, 70% of the people committing these crimes are registered handgun owners. source, The Age newspaper, as read...

i had the same thing yesterday except the image i saw looked like a bad scan of a book cover called "Book of Shadows"

too late mate! the mod seems to have worked well. CPU temps are a bit of a concern... with both folding, CPU #1 sits at 51C and CPU #2 sits between 59-63C...

oh well, there was no sense in delaying the inevitable anyway!

i know VNC is available for Liunx. i don't know if it can work with it's MS equivalent but it's worth looking into.

i'll give this thread one last bump in the hope that some of you will decide you would like to participate in a game of anonymous avatar selection. anyone? bueller, bueller, bueller...

Merc, i don't know what to say really other than to remind you that you have friends here at SF that care about you (and elsewehere i know too). Mark, c'mon, give it a go. my skills (hah!) at writing a limerick are quite remote from any of my core skills but i gave it go! i would love to see...

Mark, as always you make some excellent points to which I agree with you on all but one. i'm afraid i have to insist that shooting a kind and gentle labrador is an evil act. it don't care how little right it had to be on his property, shooting a friendly animal such as Ida not right. he could...

my poor efforts: There once was a cricketer named Tannin Whose abilities kept his team always a'winnin' But he gave up the passion And soon in short fashion He turned into a busted up has b'n! The once was debater name The Giver Whose predicates could bring one to shiver He could shoot down...

in case anyone really wants to know - these are our coins: http://www.ramint.gov.au/making_coins/default.cfm?DefaultPage=coin_designs.cfm info and images on our notes: (the scanned images are a not dark and lack the colour and depth of the real notes but it's close enough :) )...

that's a horrible story Tannin, but i'm glad you shared it with us. if it's any consolation to you and particulary your friend, Ida will soon rarely remember the incident and likely only if she were to go near the spot where she was shot. she may get a fright at the sound of a gunshot but that...

good one :) i enjoy a good limerick. Giver, don't know if you know John O'Mills but that is much like his style.

i'm very interested in reading a review of this particular ActiveCool product. please, if anyone comes across one, post the link here. thanks.

i'd like to see what havoc the introduction of a metric time system would cuase. change is good :)

hope they work as well for you as they have for me. has anyone else been using DFI lately? what are you opinions?

you can run Tea but you can't hide! i'm a comin'

i for one, am offended by Tea's comment.

merc, i had a similar problem (wouldn't take DHCP) with an ECS board. i used the onboard Davicom900 NIC as well as an Intel PRO/100 just to be sure. this was with W2K. i never fixed that particular issue as i assigned it it's own IP. i wonder if that's just a coincidence. sort of on the topic...

:lol: it never ends... only last week did Jake chew through the network cable to my main PC. it was my fault really, he needs a chewing toy to play with and i had left him inside for too long without one. hint #1: find the staffy some chewing toys and reward her for using it. staffys are very...

yep, that's staffys for you. they don't do things by halves, everything they do, they do with maximum effort. they love challenges too, the harder you make it for them, the more determined they become. an good example is our new back fence which it ended up being 6'8" in height. great i though...

i'd like to echo Mark post.

you are indeed correct. none of the questions asked relate directly to any of Woody's comments although it was an intersteing read. however, this leaves me still wondering on what you base your commnts on, those in which you speak on behalf of so many of you fellow countrypeople. ditto!

thanks Dozer. that's the soprt of stuff i was asking for! the information is certainly interesting. i had a good look around (and laughed at the fact that in one poll, 4% of the participants noted France as an enemy of the US.)

ok, now you're saying that it's not your view. whatever. yet at first you state several times, without stating they are not your views: you yourself have expressed and strong negative stance on Woody's article. later on you back-track and say it's very much an extremist view in the U.S...

so are we going to do this? i'll throw my avatar space into the mix.

i like #3 too. if you're going to head towards becoming a 'swirling singularity of sub-mediocrity', then AOL is a good place to begin as you pretty much get a good headstart.

actually if you re-read my post you'll see that i was asking you if you had such polls. the reason i asked was because you seem so sure that the most of your countrypeople share your view and i'm wondering what base your sure statements on? statistical data such as polls or something else? my...

oh that one :P (yes i knew it was, i was just trying to catch you out on the originator, you or Tea. regadless, i did enjoy it, quite so actually. thank you.

Tea, where is the poem you crafted? i can't seem to find it :cry:

sorry, perhaps i haven't made myself clear. i'm well aware of your opinion Giver, i'm just i'm asking why you're sure that public opinion would see Woody's veiws as extreme? have you seen polls? the reason i ask is because quite a few of my American friends whom i've asked to read Woody's...
