can i ask you what makes you so sure that they are?

would such such an article ever be published on a US website or in US print media?

thanks for the reply Giver. just one question though, do you consider Woody's article moronic because it goes against what seems to me be the popular view and certainly against the views that Dubya holds?

i've installed AVG Anti-Virus on several systems wirth great success. it immediately found several viruses on each system, uncluding 5 instances of bugbear on one. updates can be sheduled and Grisoft seems to provides rehgular updates. see...

or ... you simply look at it as wordplay Giver. it seems like you want to take with the most negative intent. a small woody plant less the size of a bush is often called or considered a shrub. as such, a can be considered junior to a bush as Dubya is the junior to Bush Snr. why not look at it...

when i get myself a case in which it'll fit! it's seems to be about 8mm bigger than max ATX specs.

what? you don't trust me? i' d be nothing but nice to you, you f@#! r%#*!# d*!@. cheers :P

i'd be happy to take that honour.

er well, that would help then!

if James can do it then so can i! :) seriously though, i would like to quote my dad: "Slapende honden bijten niet" - translation from Dutch to English: Let sleeping dogs lie. my dad, coincidentally also a retired diplomat, pretty much summed up what he considers the general feeling is in...

how did you get it Pradeep when it's for USA residents only?

certainly makes you think, and worry, doesn't it? thanks for posting it James.

i didn't know what to vote. at any one time i have 3-5 pc's. i'm always changing by selling and upgrading. i build a fair few pc's for others and generally end up with p3/older duron/athlons and previous generation parts out of it. almost always i will have a machine with the latest and greatest...

Question: how would one reply if asked why this thread had been resurrected? Answer: african coffee

so it's a guess?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,3604,813189,00.html. an interstesting read, at least to me. i realise this is a contentious issue and please believe me i'm not at all trying to stir anything up here. i'm really actually interested in whether such an article would ever be published on US...

fancy swapping places with me Tea?

no worries James. i was never bothered :)

being that they share a common bus, i don't think it should matter which pins i connect to. if you know this to be incorrect please tell me! since most times, pins 19 & 20 were the ones that were melted 1st i thought they would be the best candidates to solder to. that's exactly it blakerwry...

your browser getting confused with an item in your cache perhaps? :P :P :P

sorry to be a pain Buck but i'd still like to know how you verified that my 200BB has a 40GB platter.

i used to be a prolific reader until about 10 years ago when i suddenly stopped (for reasons i don't know why). over the last few months i've been thinking about getting back into it and so a few days ago i went through my old and dusty collection and picked up 'The Complete Robot' by Asimov. i...

as some of you might know, i've purchased James' Tyan Tiger MP mobo, it should arrive any day. anyhoo, in doing a some research into these boards is seems they can have one major issue. the ATX power connector that Tyan chose to use on this board apparently isn't up to the job. this board draws...

so you like stealth eh? let me tell you that in the last three days there two threads moved to this forum and a poll edited elswhere (as per a legitimate request). perhaps you guys aren't looking hard enough! :P

i thought this was a rather interesting view of the insides of a Titanium Mac. see here. *** exclusive! apparently this is yet to be announce next gen Titanium.

i'd like to request a minor enhancement Handruin. can you make the 'Mark all topics read' return us back to the main forums page? as it is now, it pops you back to the forum that your currently in, and presumably most people are marking all as read because they're finished in reading in that...

likewise Buck. obvisouly you were my inspiration :P

so going by that theory, the KT400A should be a good chipset then.

Buck, how were you able to verify that my drive has a 40gb platter? is it because WD1200BB drives have a 00CAA1 model # and all 00CAA1's have 40GB platters or do you have a reference page i can look up too? cheers

good move James. have you thought about which GF4 you're going to buy? i'd recommend either a Leadtek, Triplex or Gainward card. the Leadtek is probably the best constructed (and bundled) of the three but all are good stable cards and overclock very well, especially the 64MB ones.

Quen fo teh Re-ytpe ?

Tannin, it sounds to me that you suffer through an awful lot of dud motherboards. surely this isn't normal...

i didn't see anybody mention that there was anything wrong with it.

oh no! please accept my apolagies Tea :( i did think about the taking off the HSF but since it was so firmly attached i figured it was safe to leave on. i know i won't do that next time. i'm glad to hear everything else was OK. the motherboard was purchased from FCS (Finn Cumputer Solutions) in...

having read in the Computers forums that most of Tannin's office network still runs on OS/2 i thought i'd suggest to Tea that she convince Tannin to turn the office into a museum of networking artifacts and products of years gone by. how 'bout it tea, you might even be able to charge an...

i think that's a great idea and think 2 mins is more than enough.

be afeared, be very afeared... ok, so that didn't work did it?. thanks to all who felt they could trust in my moderator skills and ethics. i'll be doing my best to do a good job and not dissapoint you. in fact, i dare say i won't have perform anything remotely close to moderator duties...

font page has come of age with the 2002 version. it's not bad at all. i agree that the the previous versions were all dogs, particularly FP98 which was a joke but FP2002 works and works well, it's feature set is rich and is easy to use to boot. give it a go beofe you dismiss it as crap. it's...

i'm behind the times...

i didn't know i was still arguing with Tannin. i'd like to remain both your friends. i'd much prefer to argue with a friend :P as for slo, he can be a bit shy at times so you may to lure him out with a display of chest-slapping and ground-thumping but careul, once you've got his attention...

doh! 'scuse me for not thinking. thanks tony

thanks Buck! i was hoping that might be the case. next question; being that it only uses one head, does that mean it only read/writes to one half of the platter and if so, is it likely to be the outer half?

yeti: i haven't installed the drive so i can't benchmark it buck: WD200BB - 00CAA1 i'm trying to choose which is the best HDD to boot XP off from. i want to boot of the fastest drive. my choices are: 40GB Barracuda IV 20Gb Fireball AS 20Gb WD BB

i picked up a WD200BB Caviar yesterday. these are a 20GB drive as most of you know. i thought i'd read SR's reviews and compare it to some other drives but they haven't reviewed this drive. no worries i thought, just pick another drive in the family but i found that all the differnet BB series...

i must say, i'd rate gigabyte as excellent in terms of stability too. at a guess i'd say i've built around 100 gigabyte system over 5 years and only once do i remember having a problem with one of them, a dual p-pro board. the most stable motherboards i've worked with is Intel (do they actually...

ugly?! :cry: :cry: i know, it's an ugly photo and the flash makes me look all pasty. actually that was an accidental photo taken a while ago. accidental meaning my wife was trying to work the camera to take photos of Seth, couldn't figure it out and came into ask how to take a photo. i went to...

???

hmm thanks for that tim :) i didn't realise that i spelt colour incorrectly :P

plasma screens have comes down dramatically in price haven't they? i've been saving to buy an XGA LCD projector in march next year but after watching bathurst yesterday on a 42" sony plasma i'm not sure now...
