There is strength in numbers, and I think that our history shows that. The fact that European nations are trying so hard to build the EU shows that this is going to be a key going forward. And, heck, these guys don't even speak a small number of different languages. As for loose...

You could better help humanity by not helping people find ways to screw-up nature....

Really? I found 6Mb to be far less useful that I thought it would be.

If you want to use a gaming console, it seems to me that the Xbox 360 would be a better choice. It's cheaper and is designed to act as a media center. The PS3 is... a trainwreck.

Did you try running a boot-time chkdsk? Maybe you have a file system error.

Imagine that kind of children coming out of that relationship!

I believe that's what we call libertarianism. You know, get the government the fuck out of the way of me making my money. It doesn't work (at least not any better than communism ever really did) and it's certainly not in the best interests of this country. As is often the case, the real...

Does she give everyone colds? I never caught one....

http://thinkprogress.org/2007/03/21/gore-boxer-inhofe/ FYI, Inhofe is the guy who was "outraged by outrage" over the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse incident, repeatedly has blocked adoption of the Convention on the Law of the Sea, and said that global climate change is "the second-largest hoax ever...

Did the action actually proceed? Have you checked your start-up items and see if the offender is there?

I think that you need to recheck your example prices.

Tried using ASPI instead of SPTI?

That's not quite true. As for many titles, *existing* Adobe products aren't supported on Vista. You can't expect a company to support their software on an operating system that wasn't out at the time of release. Particularly one that's as hacked-up as Vista.

Perhaps for rich people... but when you need to buy a number of them, it ends up being a large chunk of change. For the rest of us, the price needs to be ~$100 or less to even consider it.

I'd say that it helps that Microsoft stuff seems to "break" more often, and it's users are far more likely to be helpless. If you were supporting Linux or BSD, you'd have more intimate knowledge of the operating system and software. Theoretically, if there was bug in open software, you could...

Will 500GB drives get cheap now?

.

I guess that must have been another reason that I didn't go with ther TerraStation.

What did you have PM do?

Well, no, but I'm also not one to have a single application use that much. This, however, does not explain to which source we should attribute that snappiness. Windows XP x64 isn't simply a recompile of Windows 2003 Server; they have differing features beyond their bitness.

I guess I'm a little late on this one, but I would have suggested an Infrant ReadyNAS. It's definitely more expensive and bit more difficult to setup, but the drives are user-replaceable, and it's, therefore, upgradeable. I can't talk to the more recent revisions, but at the time that I bought...

Well... 3GB, if so designed. Photoshop (a 32-bit application), for example, is designed to take advantage of extra memory space if the /3gb switch is used.

I've been using 2.5" 10k SAS drives for a while, and there isn't really a good answer to your question. In general, they seem to produce less heat, but have less surface area with which to get rid of it. By their internal sensors, the drives run cooler than the 3.5" 15k drives that they...

Windows XP SP2 seems to like to vary what it sees on my machine between 3 to 3.5GB. It's not as if there is a limit; the operating system simply won't recognise more than 4GB of memory addresses. So, whatever is in use by your system for components it unavailable for mapping actual RAM.

Unfortunately, it's hard to tell what part of that snappiness is due to its 64-bitness and what part is due to its Win2k3 heritage.

Be careful. PPC emulation is sssllllooooowwww.

I wouldn't use third party recycled toner cartridges for Cannon engine laser printers, such as those from HP. Several years ago, I worked for a group with a large number of HP lasers. They tried going with third-party stuff, and it was pretty bad. Prints were poor, toner ran out quicker, and...

Well, 32-bit versions of XP SP2 won't see more than 4GB of memory *addresses*.

Any noticeable differences from RC2?

Now you know. Didn't you read his posts? He changed his DNS servers and stopped having the issue.

Well, if they can't get here, it's a bit tough to post here to say so....

The issue, I've found with the hard chairmats is that (1) you need to get one appropriate for your carpet and (2) they don't do well outside a relatively narrow range of temperatures. They love to crack on high pile carpets and when it's cool.

I've avoided Antec PSUs since the "TruePower" problems.

Updated the Thinkpad and have spares. Two PC2700/DDR333 256MB SODIMMs (512MB total) One is Kingston OEM for IBM. Double sided, 2.5CL. The other is VData. Single sided, also 2.5CL. Asking $30 shipped for both The usual restrictions apply.

According to their energy contractor, except in the science labs, nobody used anything except steam to heat *and* cool.

1. Not everyone has the luxury of a hardware firewall. I know of a particular college student who, not only probably could not afford one, but also isn't allowed anything between the wall and his computer except an ethernet cable. 2. It's nice to know what is trying to use the Internet when...

As most demos are, it's based on alpha code. I don't think that you're supposed to be able to play Nod, so it wouldn't be surprising if the GDI AI isn't done there.

I use WinRAR for archival purposes. Compression is good and speed is acceptable. More importantly, RAR gives options to add recovery records and authenticity verification. This way, if an archive gets damaged, I can attempt to recover; and I can tell if someone has tampered with the archive.

This looks like it was a bad choice in systems for you. If you're trying to fight a major temperature difference, heat pumps just aren't very efficient (as you've learned).

This sort of stuff has been available for many years. The problems, of course, are cost and size. You can get over size, but, then, that costs. I visited a university that used a natural gas turbine (read: jet engine) to generate electricity, and then used the heat off the process to run...

And speaking of that, I downloaded the Tiberium Wars demo yesterday. The trailer that runs at the beginning included FMVs with Michael Ironside and Billie Dee Williams. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0848263/ I only got a little ways into the tutorial, but it feels a lot like Generals...

While I highly doubt that that the graphics were taken from SC2k, I'm sure that there was some influence there. From what I gather from talking to folks who, theoretically, should be in the know, Sid Meier and Will Wright communicate often and are fans of one another's work. I wouldn't be...

I stand corrected.

Two-way protection.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxis Maxis was purchased by Electronic Arts in 1997. In 2004, they were finally forced to move their studios from Walnut Creek to EA's headquarters in Redwood Shores, CA. SimGolf was what Sid Meier was working on while the rest of Firaxis was doing Civilization III.

Suggestions? Preferably free or cheap....

There's no help for people like you.

And SimGolf is an EA game!

Honestly, this is potentially so big and so bad, it's a hell of a lot better to do something rather than nothing.
