    mirrors, mirages or for real?

    ugh. should have proof read what i typed. as it's a jpg so there's some colour interpolation and as such there are a few places where the colour differs. however, take several samples, compare the results and you will see it's almost identical. photoshop tells me 7 out of 8 samples are the same...

    In memory of Tiger(June 1987 - October 3, 2002)

    condolences jtr. a pet such as tiger is every way as amuch a family member as a human family member would be and the feeloing of loss can be is just as hard. take solice in the fact that she passed in your arms and there was probably no better place for her to be when she passed.

    Really, really stupid error messages of our time

    yes it's true what you say but how does relate to me if i don't get infected and don't pass on viruses to others? it doesn't! again no reason for me to change.

    Really, really stupid error messages of our time

    Tannin, i fail to see why should i change from Outlook when i have had no problems with it. i also fail to understand why that doesn't seem to make sense to you if other people let themselves get infected, that's their problem. i don't have any such problems. if it makes you feel better then...

    Intel vs. AMD? ATI vs. nVidia?

    oh i forgot to add, in my experiences i've found that Intel cpu's work best with Intel chipsets and AMD with AMD or Via chipsets. if you must have a 8x AGP, then the Asus PFSX8 looks like a winner. even though it's got a SiS chipset, i've read some great reports on it. see...

    Intel vs. AMD? ATI vs. nVidia?

    i can vouch for recent Thermaltake hsf's. the ones i've used (Volcano 6 & 7+) were solid, well designed units that were effective in cooling my athlons. i've had great success with Nvidia products and have used every generation video card Nvidia has made from the original riva onwards. i've...

    Really, really stupid error messages of our time

    i don't think it's luck at all Tannin, just good, safe practises. as i said, i'm careful and keep my A-V up to date, this traps 99% of the virus ridden e-mails i get however i never open anything with an attachment from someone i don't recognise anyway. i've not been caught out in three years of...

    Really, really stupid error messages of our time

    it's the same for me Mark. i use all the same products and have not had a problem. it's just a matter of using an effective anti-virus tool and keeping it's virus definition database up to date.

    Securing a domain name

    thanks blakerwry. unfortunately no-one has been able to tell me how to run a mail server off non-standard ports. my isp doesn't allow servers of any kind and i know they monitor ports 25 & 110 looking for mail activity. just as blakerwry has done, it's not difficult to run your own mail server...

    MDT Harddrives? Who are they?

    given that's they're cheaper than competing products nd carry a 1 year warranty, i can see why people would think it's a good deal. personally i wouldn't buy them though. how sure are you that they are refurbished?
