What make/model drive is it? Running the manufacturer's utilities should allow you to diagnose any problems and reassign bad sectors. As always, backup first.

I pretty much never go to the front page here. Any news will get a discussion here in the forum, anyway, so I just cut to the chase.. I suspect others here do the same.

I was browsing the front page here, which is an unusual occurrence. How come: http://www.storageforum.net/index.php, http://www.storageforum.net/index.php?page=archives, http://www.storageforum.net/index.php?hpage=sffaq, and http://www.storageforum.net/index.php?hpage=links all seem to lead to...

Where are the serial ATA opticals? On a whim, I looked for them and got two; both generation-old DVD burners. Shouldn't they be here in some numbers by now? Surely there's money to be made by slapping on a bridge chip and charging more.

Actually, the entire 555 prefix in each area code is reserved, which is why it is always used in TV and film. Other than 555-1212, I'm not aware of any "real" numbers in that prefix.

555-1212 works surprisingly often....

Keep in mind, this is a bit like Calvinball. Despite having inferior products, Intel is still winning. There must be something to their strategy.

Things I don't miss about having four seasons....

What's the cabling look like?

If it's just checking reported user agents, then I'd show up as Netscape, even though I use Firefox. Some secure websites will support Netscape 7+ but not the matching versions of Mozilla and Firefox; a little hacking of the user agent solves the problem.

Hopefully, the playback improvements will migrate to the DivX player soon....

Then why not keep them S940? Intel doesn't play the game that way.

I've migrated some of the serving functions of main computer to a NAS device, and, thus, no longer need my external SCSI enclosure and ecoutrement. 2x ST336753LC 36GB 15k.3 with about 2.5 years warranty 2x ST3146707LC 146GB 10k.7 with about four years warranty 4x IcyDock MB911 CPGF 1x Mapower...

If I'm reading it correctly, the charges haven't been dropped, but the DA isn't going to pursue them. I don't know if they're going to file a suit on her behalf, but they may have a case for false arrest and illegal search.

The market for S939 Opterons is the same as for S939 Athlon64 chips. Generally, if you're building on the cheap, you'll get an Athlon; and, if you're after performance and overclockability, you'll get the Opteron. Why bother having two mutually interchangeable lines, pretending one is somehow...

Wasn't there some review that found that the Sandra benchmark wasn't determinate?

Remember all of those World War II spy movies with folks throwing out a few words of German, and flashing false or stolen papers to the guards.... http://www.papersplease.org/davis/index1.html

Let's call it the great leap sideways and be done with it. I doubt these folks have even read the Communist Manifesto....

haXored!

S939 Opterons were a dumb idea to start off... it's just finally caught up with them. It's not nearly as bad as building your core product on ever-increasing clock speed *and* ever-increasing waste heat.

Why hasn't anyone published a one drive versus two drives article? People might start putting a second drive in their system and not using it for RAID!

Is this really an exploit? It sounds to me it's just a really nasty bug -- like all the other really nasty bugs involving having a large history file.

It really had a lot more to do with confusion than anal rentention. How many dynes are in a newton? How many ergs in a joule? How many maxwells in a weber? How many gauss in a tesla?

You have similies that move? Where?

Might try to convince folks to try MediaMonkey. It has iPod support.

That's the funny thing about the vast majority of ESL folks. They write like masters of the English language, but sound like morons in person. It's no reflection upon intelligence, but it's far easier to come across as having intimate knowledge of a language on paper than standing in front of...

Sell it or trade for something useful. A Dreamcast, maybe 8)

Good news. Graymodern was updated for 1.5 *and* OpenType fonts with Postscript outlines now work. Font substitution on Windows is still shot to hell, but IE and Opera can't get it right either....

Not quite right. MKS (like CGS) is a convenience system. While the meter, kilogram, second, ampere, Kelvin, mole, and candela are the fundamental units of the SI, there are fields where CGS derived units are commonly used, and a few others where both MKS and CGS are used. Metric includes all...

I got this deal in an e-mail from Seagate a week or so ago. Thought about getting it and dumping the second drive (don't need it). Except there's no legacy support support on this card, or any SAS card at which I've looked.

iTunes is for the Macintosh. Do you have a Macintosh? Problem solved.

PowerDVD should support some sort of hardware acceleration, although it's likely to be for DVDs only. WiMP 6.4 doesn't directly support any form of hardware acceleration. This is to say that you're probably playing MPEG-4 (DivX) files in software only. What's the rest of this computer look like?

Unfortunately, incorrect. DirectDraw has been rolled into DirectX. This is to say that DirectX is now all forms of graphics acceleration in Windows. This is why, when you make some changes to DirectX settings, the screen blinks. It also makes it easy to do fancy-pants interface effects.

You've got it backwards. nVidia drivers are horrible. They're nothing but trouble.

Return it for a refund.

Does Ghost 2003 come with ghost32? You may be able to use a miniNT environment instead of DOS. As long as you don't mind working with CDs instead of floppies, this would alleviate a lot of issues.

This is to say, it explodes *and* doesn't protect you from a surge.

I haven't noticed any sites going slower. There are definitely ones for which it doesn't help, but none are going slower. According to the information on the FasterFox site, dynamic content shouldn't be marked for prefetch and, therefore, cannot be made faster or slower by it.

If your BIOS doesn't have legacy keyboard support, then it's going to be hard to get by without a PS/2 keyboard. A USB mouse is a different story. I've seen drivers that emulate it to PS/2, but I have no idea where that was.

Is this other system similar to the one showing problems? If you don't ask a crappy PSU to do much, then it might be able to do pretty well. Heck, if you ask a nice PSU to do a lot, then it might look crappy!

Well... they're also masses. But that makes them sound too heavy to lift.

You mean a 1kg mass

Disappointed that Ebay Negs and GrayModern aren't 1.5 approved, but it does well enough otherwise. Definitely a bit peppier; does better than the CPU-optimised 1.07 build that I was using.

I made my last purchase from here: http://www.thomas-distributing.com I've previously made purchases of el cheapo rechargeables from http://www.batteryspace.com

Just an FYI... the proposed recipient of this device purchased a home exercise bike during the black Friday sales so that she could watch TV while exercising... and so won't have much use for such a gift. Maybe I'll just get her a USB flash drive....

I'd like a comprehensive answer here. Last time I tried to use it, it did more mangling than helping.

Is spyware really dangerous before you install it? In theory, I'd like to be able to test software in a virtual machine before putting it on a live machine. I can't test any 64-bit operating systems and software with VMware. So, for example, 64-bit SusE will have to installed natively for me...

K-Lite is a tool in the sense not meant for this forum....

Apparently, my computer was recently infected with a crazy piece of adware. The new version of VMware doesn't support my C-stepping Opterons for 64-bit guests. Where is the love?
