Errrr...well...maybe we aren't identical twins. :)

I guess I should note, I am a bit absent-minded sometimes and would forget the cable either at home or at work. Now I just leave the camera cable at home and the drive at work. That way I can pull pictures off no matter where I am. Now, if I could just remember to bring the camera with me.... :)

I prefer connecting the camera directly as well, but I wanted a way to read Memory Sticks both at work and at home. I also wanted an external CompactFlash reader for the card used in my Pocket PC, so instead of buying an additonal camera cable and a CF reader, the 2-in-1 worked better for me.

I was looking for one of these for awhile. Then I spotted a 2-in-1 CompactFlash/Memory Stick reader for about $25 (SanDisk ImageMate USB Dual Reader CF/MS). Perfect for what I need--Pocket PC=CompactFlash and Digicam=MemoryStick. Everything I need and nothing I don't--and, it's portable...

Okay, here's what I want do do: I want to be able to print from Mandrake to my Windows XP box. My XP box has an HP psc2110 attached via USB. I have shared it, and I can see it on the Mandrake box (I'm using Samba). I can't seem to get it configured correctly, though. Any advice from anyone...

At long last the search is over. I have been looking for a phrase that describes my computer skill... :D

The Loop! Brings back good memories.

Woohoo! -1 thanks, timwhit! 8) 8) 8)

Darn it, Clocker! Now I can't get anything accomplished because I'm hell bent on making par at this silly little game! (Hole 8 is especially tough for me) :D If my customers ask me why their quotes aren't finished, I'm blaming you!

As always, Tannin, you present intelligent argument intermingled with parts of comic relief, which I believe we all appreciate and probably keeps the healthy disagreement forum members have in check. I think your quote above really spells out the mixed feelings that many people around the world...

Perhaps it would be more clear to draw a parallel. Much of what occured prior to WWII was known and seen by the European community. I think the general attitude, at first, was that it won't affect us, it can't be that serious. I think what Flagreen is trying to say is that some of this...

I agree with you, Merc. Law or no law, journalistic integrity lies with the media professionals. If they choose to lie, the consequences are on their shoulders. If I were a journalist, I would feel a responsibility for accurate reporting. But that doesn't mean someone else would feel this...

:D

This may be old news, and I haven't done much research into it other than updating Webmin, but Webmin's front web page states "Due to a security hole in Webmin, all users should upgrade to version 1.070." Blake, I know you use Webmin--not sure who else, but it's something to be aware of. -Doz

Here's one: What a crock! :roll: :evil: What idiots actually believe this stuff?

Black flies = demons While hiking through Maine in June, I experienced these beasts in their prime season. They would leave little streams of blood running from where they landed. At one place, Namakanta (sp?) Lake, we dove into our tents to avoid the hordes. I think at least 100 of them...

When I get all my machines back up and running, I'll help ya out Clipteen!

For me Valentine's Day signified freedom this year. Don't get me wrong. It's not like I've sworn off women, but I've come to a place in my life where I'm easy come, easy go again. After my divorce, I felt like the world had ended. But I've been released from the bond of those dark days, and...

I almost hate to admit this...but Benjamin Curtis is originally from Chattanooga. He actually graduated from the same high school as Cliptin. Read about him here: http://www.mccallie.org/news/spring2001/alumni.htm

I use it quite a bit. Very quick-loading, clean, and down-to-business. Fluxbox is much more configurable than Blackbox.

I had this problem, too. The first several attempts found me impatiently rebooting the machine. I finally took your course of action and just let it sit for a few minutes...with success. I guess hastiness was our downfall.

It is. It is both tactically and politically difficult, as well. The Korean army is estimated at one million strong, with air, sea, and both short and medium-range missle capability, some that can carry chemical payloads. And with more highly advanced nuclear capability, Korea presents and...

BTW, meant to include this link in the above post, an interesting article on the psychological profile of Saddam: http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,839469,00.html

It is so difficult for us as private citizens to make informed judgements on what is taking place, when much of the proof presented is filtered and sensitive information, which cannot and will not be released for public record. What we can do is make judgements on the information that we do...

It all depends on what you're looking at accomplishing. You don't necessarily have to buy a dual monitor card. I am using my higher quality vid card for my main monitor, and a cheap PCI card for the other monitor. My second monitor mostly serves as a secondary browser display for when I'm...

pain-preventer--I meant, injury-preventer.

Prof, Let me clarify. I realize that the alcohol itself is not a pain-preventer. What I had heard/read was that the key was in the body being relaxed.

"Crash" and "relax"--not usually two words that work together, unless you are using "crash" as the slang reference to "relaxing." E.g. I'm going to go home and crash. Isn't english great! :D Sorry, I'm in a strange mood today.

151. Your idea of a hot date includes installing the latest Linux distro.

I heard (or read) somewhere that many drunk drivers largely emerge unhurt from accidents because the alcohol relaxes their system so much that it somehow prevents injury. Perhaps one of our esteemed medical experts can address this issue?

This also works well across my network to keep track of what my linux folding machine is doing: | FOLDING \ +-----------------------------------+ | Current Protein: | | <NAME=FILEDATA FORMAT="\\mandrake\local\samba-public\folding\unitinfo.txt,3"><PIXELSTART=252>| |...

Blake found it a couple of weeks ago: http://www.storageforum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1638&highlight=coolmon

I had to vote IE, but let it be said that I use Mozilla on my Linux boxes, and like it quite well. I also downloaded Opera the other night and like it fairly well, too. I've been testing Mozilla on my Windows XP box, and I rather like it--so much so that I am thinking of converting...

Me, too. Not in good taste, IMO.

Don't worry, Tea. I thought it was Genghis, too. And picked that answer for much the same reason... But, given some of the other options, it probably was meant to be Khan from Star Trek. I'll have to go back and re-answer--I don't think Khan was that horrible a villain, not compared to some...

Or was it "slacker"...that would probably fit better. :)

I'm a slackware, too. And no, I'm not just saying that because of Buck's definition of a slackware :D

Has anybody looked at this? An energy-directed weapon proposed for use in Iraq.

I use a switchable Xenon/led headlamp for my outdoor adventures. The Xenon is fantastic for night excursions in the backcountry, but there's nothing quite like the soft blue glow of the LED for reading, cooking, and general nighttime backcountry chores. And iGary is quite right, in LED mode it...

Night before last it was 7F here in Chattanooga. This is extremely cold for our neck of the woods. The county schools were closed because, "they didn't want the kids getting cold at the bus stops," according to a friend of mine who teaches in the school district. It is unreal how a bit of...

Rotatable screen is useful in page layout applications. When I worked in graphic design, it would have been nice from time to time. But I can't think of an instance that I would use it in everyday computing.

This brought a smile to my face this morning and I thought I'd share: At a recent computer expo, Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry & stated, If GM had kept up with the technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that...

This is a good point. Hey thanks, I feel better already! :D

Since the Titans didn't make it, I really couldn't care less anymore. We're a bit heartbroken this morning.

I agree. "24" is a show that I will actually sit down and watch, as is "The Agency." (Do we see a theme in Dozer's television viewing forming) Also, I must say that I'm pretty pumped up today. I watched "Gladiator" and "FOTR" yesterday afternoon and feel like I could conquer the world! :D

Here's a content-rich digital photography site I discovered today that I though I'd share: http://www.dpreview.com/ Most useful for comparing lots of digital cameras all in one place...

Over the past several years my television viewing time has become less and less, for precisely the reasons communicated above--simply nothing worth watching. I'd much rather pick up a book most of the time.

BTW, cool avatar Groltz.
