I'm curious what your heat sink is. Usually they go some distance underground, where the temperature is relatively constant. So, the outside temperature shouldn't have a major bearing on what the heat pump puts out.

I bet that you're beginning to like Western Digital, too. It's a slippery slope. Next thing, you'll be setting up Raptors in RAID 0 "for speed."

Maybe your choice of servers is also the choice of a lot of other people. I had that problem and had to go through series of decreasingly desirable servers until I found one that was designed to accept enough load. Go AOL.

What makes you think that we aren't? No. If a valley has problem with flooding, do we need to stop the rain? Let me spell it out for you: Is there global warming? YES Is it bad for people? YES Is there something that we can do to mitigate or stop it? YES Does the source matter? NO

Come to California. We pay a fee upfront to recycle our electronics.

That's screwed up. You shouldn't even need a specific driver for the PCI-X controller. I presume that you've tried forcing the non-Vista-approved drivers.

Wow. I think that I spend ~100 a month for both electricity and natural gas -- and that's mostly the gas. Last month's bill was $85.76. That's three bedrooms, only one bath, and two people.

I think that the default servers get overloaded. Every copy of Windows XP points to them.

Stereodude officially missed the point of this thread. Please open a new one if you wish to flog him. What can you do about it? Amazingly easy stuff like drive less and use energy efficient appliances. I do my part to encourage global dimming by spending most of my carbon on flying.

Vista apparently won't boot on my computer because of a "fix" in the ACPI code. My motherboard is EOLed and no BIOS work around will come out. Way to go Microsoft!

I think that you forgot about the Goodwill games. Never underestimate the power of Ted Turner.

Did you just immigrate to this country? We have laws here to keep people from being taken advantage of. They don't always work, but they are there. In particular, if you register a domain name which includes a trademarked or copyrighted "name" and don't use said domain, it's generally...

Any version of Ghost 8.x or earlier should be good. The latest version that I got my hands on bills itself as 11, but, except for the server stuff, seems exactly like 8.3.

What the f' are the commonwealth games anyway? A cricket tournament or something?

Isn't cybersquating illegal?

Drivers have really been my only hang-up on Windows x64, which is a real shame.

What are the improvements? Now that there appears to be a workable driver for my sound card, I will be looking to switch to x64.

I don't know what you have running, but I used to run my dual processor system with a 430W PSU -- and that was back when I had 15k SCSI drives in the system. I'm sure that I could run it with a 350W or less PSU. The reason that I overwatt my power supply is to make it quieter. Although you're...

Isn't the latest installment of CnC supposed to go back to that. I recall reading something about Kane being played by the same guy.

Ditto. My thought was, "Wait. They're no using RAID 5 already?"

In my case, resetting the BIOS certainly has not made any difference is the umpteen times that I have done it. I still randomly get networking issues. I do keep a spare NIC around and have had to use it when the onboard was recalcitrant; but I don't like to pull my PCI-X bus down to 33MHz...

The problems tend to have to do with (1) timing and (2) cache misses. Cache missed just tend to make stuff run far less well than is would on a single core. Timing issues are worse, as they can make the application screw up. Installing the AMD dual-core optimizer made a real difference in a...

From what I understand (and this is a bit tenuous), holographic storage currently sits between tape archives and online hard disk systems. It's far more reliable and smaller than a hard disk, but accesses much faster than tape. If I recall correctly, these folks are expecting to catch up with...

Tannin has resorted to back-handed attacks on my character. There's some classy behavior.

That I have to run a special utility to keep some programs from using more than one core should pretty much let you know the state of things.

You may have confused "screwed my network connection immediately" with "screwed my network connection later." Even though I haven't installed all the "firewall" crap, I still have problems which others have attributed to the "firewall" features in the hardware. Generally, resetting my computer...

I was reading about this stuff in eWeek just last night. Apparently Turner Entertainment (yes, the Boston "terrorists") has been using this stuff. At great cost, I presume.

The model that went south is discontinued, so the agent seemed pretty easy on choice of replacement. The big deal for me was, due to the shelves that I have this equipment on, having the plugs in the back versus on top is is much easier with which to deal.

Tannin, I think that you misunderstand the situation. If you want people to see what you're serving, then it behooves you not to block it. Stopping people who you consider to be valid users from utilising your website is not a solution. This is to say that a half-assed solution tends to...

The "firewall" runs in the hardware, the advantage of which is that you have "protection" from power-on. This means that, even though you don't install the software to control it, the "firewall" is still there. I have an option in my BIOS to turn it off, but then I get no network.

So it turns out that the source of the sound was ultimately the UPS, although it got a lot quieter once I disconnected all of the devices. I'm guessing that the electronics went foo, and I wasn't getting good power; this was inducing the sound. Everything except for my cordless phone seems...

Perhaps he should have us ask for permission, rather than fishing around for our private information? Keep in mind that the best of a bad thing is still bad. Just because it "seems to be the most useful application" does not make it a good one.

If you can figure out how to let me turn this damn nVidia "firewall" off in the BIOS and still have the ethernet install in any operating system correctly, let me know.

No one needs to know from where I'm coming. That's private information, and I'm securing it. Now, the only thing not working as expected is the serving of the pictures. If something that doesn't work as expected isn't configured correctly, then, clearly, Tannin's host is misconfigured.

It's a piece of crap. There are plenty of complaint threads around the 'net about it.

You mean that my browser is more secure. It's configured correctly.

I'm getting two instances of browser_error.png in Firefox... Displays as well as may be expected in Internet Exploder.

Do you not know any Evercrack players?

If you don't pull *all* of the data off of the disk, including the boot sector, your volume GUID can get horked. This shouldn't, but sometimes does confuse Windows. And, well, this is Vista. Why should things make sense?

Well, pretty much all desktop computers these days would qualify as a supercomputer, so it's now a classification without a difference. It wasn't always this way, however.

How could I set this up as a chron job...?

No, but they make a very distinctive beep, rather than the chirp that some make. The batteries are not much more than six-months old, so I'd hope that they're not going out....

GUIDs?

I guess if you're running stuff that pokey, it shouldn't be surprising when anything takes hours.

People pretend that the Xbox is a game console. Why can't they pretend that a Macintosh is a computer?

More likely, it'd be squirrels. Since there's no scratching noises, and the squeak or squeal sound is extremely intermittent (less than five times a day, so far), I don't think that it's a creature in the wall. The noise is so clear sounding, the source almost assuredly had to be *in* the...

Yes. It's a Scythe S-flex which has been in use for about four months.

The UPS is a possibility. The NAS has started reporting apparently bogus information concerning the charge status of the UPS; then again, there is apparent contention between Belkin UPSes and my Infrant NAS. I'll try to bring a laptop over to the UPS and see what kind of detailed information...

Well, I don't, but this guy does: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,2006031,00.html

So, it's not more secure. What kind of drives do you have this it takes hours to securely erase them?
