maybe even faster (in terms of opening and loading the entire page contents)

wow, that thing is as fast as IE now.

really? I've never had this happen ... FastTrack 66 -> Fasttrack100 -> VIA 8233a controller... or VIA 8233a -> FastTrack100 -> VIA 8233a... or VIA 8233a -> BX controller -> FX controller -> BX controller.... or 486 (socket2)controller -> Fasttrack66 -> 486 controller.... they just work.

When reading your post I was thinking that disabling RAM through the CMOS might not work correctly or would have problems... however, a jumper based solution would probably make me rest easier... ie.. what if the RAM dies and you cant get into the BIOS to disable the onboard RAM... or what if...

good idea... bad idea.... from my 486 and pentium days I KNOW onboard RAM is a bad idea.... (1) you can run into compatibility problems between the onboard and added RAM (2) the onboard RAM is very limiting in the clock speeds you can run the motherboard at... hence, overclocking potential...

When you say that 3ware cards are the best... I assume you mean quality.. But in terms of price/performance/features I think the promise cards are better for most people. If I had the money to burn, yes I'd get a 3ware. I believe they are of the utmost quality and probably beat the promise by...

The local schools around here all use PC's. In the range of pII 266 to pIII 650's (this was the state 2 years ago... they'll probably get newer PC's soon) I think most of them still use win95 or winNT because the school staff has not been trained on how to support win98 (I'm not joking)...

or an abacus

or a k5 233mHz w/ no L2 cache

or durons...

that is a terrible looking motherboard btw.... I would also recomend the Promise line of cards... I have bought a FastTrack66 (raid capable, HDD only controller) and it worked great for the year or so I used it. I have since been using an onboard promise chip (fast track 100 lite) It too has...

LoL, it also says the drive uses 4 heads... note:30GB platters... WD's stie is known for mis-information as mcuh as actual information... I am sorry for you as well, however people(inlcuding myself) have been crying the same thing for atleast as long as WD has had Special Edition drives.

I know a guy named Aurelio. He is my girlfriend's grandfather. Classic Italian name...

We've all been warned... before buying a WD drive, I would certainly make sure it has the number of platters / density of patters that I am looking for. WD still have alot of 40GB platters that they are using in the 800JB/BB and 1000JB/BB drives... why would the 60gb drive be any exception? WD...

I too disagree with the fundamental concpet of social security. Hanving to spend my money in order to pay for someone elses retirement doesn't sound good... but then there's the fact that although I will have paid tens of thousands of dollars into social security, I will probably never get a...

actually, I grilled the chicken the night before and ate it for dinner. The rest of it I topped onto a freshetta and brought into work the next morning... (I had prepared extra chicken specifically for this purpose) Grilling chicken breast is not all that hard to prepare... you simply have to...

woohoo, I got my first paycheck in waht seems about 6 months. The government automatically took ~10% of it for with holdings and I'm sure they will take another 10% come income tax time. We also have sales tax (7%) on anything we buy here(Johnson county, Kansas City, USA) and then property tax...

I work with the school age children anyway. Although my favorite are the younger ones in kindergarden (5-6 yr olds) They are the most physically expressive and you can always tell what's on their minds or how they are feeling because of it.

funny, i found this:

I once made chicken pizza, it was the best pizza I have ever had. I marinated the chicken in oil, water, and vinagar(I think it was 1 part water, 1 part vinegar and 2 parts oil)... with some crushed up garlic (you can never add too much) for about 3 hours and then grilled the chicken over a low...

does it really matter?

speaking of the front page and news, I just saw the stupidest flash ad at ars technica. http://anime-jennie.com/hdd/stupid.swf *dang they make it difficult to get this stupid flash ad.

i see

*I meant access time

heh... ATTO is a bad benchmark... I found that out after using the drive on various motherboards/controllers/drives... Some of the results are just insane.... I dont think I can trust ATTO... HDtach still seems to be reliable enough for my concerns and gives me more usefull data, such as seek...

I have found that my 1200BB is exceptionally quiet... seeks and idle are quieter than my ATA IV... but then again, the ATA IV has been running alot longer.

sometimes i do something like postmaster@localhost or admin@[127.0.0.1] yes, it is legal to use the IP of the mail server as long as you put it in brackets most places have no problem emailing to the specified address.

I think that's a function of time and child labor.

never save anything as a .bmp..... that's like saving a video in uncompressed format. you should atleast use a lossless compression such as gif or png. Jpg is good because a little quality loss is acceptable or might not even be noticable, but the file size savings are often huge.

I agree, high end NEC monitors are great, but there lower quality stuff is, IMO, not woth the price. I would like to get a flat screen though... A 16" would be nice but prices are still to high for my budget.

well, another person asked me that seriously the other day.... and I know it is a common practice for some people.

I didn't mean to say that your specific board was bad... I'm apolgize if I gave off that impression. I mean to say that that series was bad, and that from the picture it has the same type of caps that the ka7 had. I did some searching, and yes both the KA7 and KT7 were known to be affected by...

Sounds like a bad apple. You must have a keen eye Tea.

that's a little optimistic... I could get a computer for that... but a good quality monitor is not going to fit into that budget.

personally, I prefer virtual dub anyway... there is also another program I came across that is very basic and will work with any WDM capture source... it's simply called vidcap comes as "vidcap.exe" I think it was made by microsoft. If you cant find it in a www.filemirrors.com or a...

Nope, stacking is not as bad as laying on sides... I was looking in a Fujistsu(?) article and it showed the G-forces exhibited on a drive when they fall from an upright position... well it's not good. Leaving the drives upright, they are not stable so it is a bad combination. stacking is...

that's pretty interesting.... it would make good cards (cards designed with working, although maybe seldom used, features) bench worse than their cheap equivalents....

hmm.. in professional writing class we never went specifically over the topic of when a website vs email would be apropriate. However, If the documents need to be accessed by multiple people over a period of time(esp if the document needs updating) I think that would be sufficient in making a...

mozilla mail?

you know, you could always run your own mail server like me >8- ) I can give your dad a webmail account if he wishes... I guarantee nothing! :x but I do make by-weekly backups of the server, the server runs on a dedicated machine that is not going anyware, and I have a cold spare incase...

I am really surprised that the super high resolution of the thing... even though, being a 17" I will probably never run it above 1280x1024.

lol, you might be right honold... but you could always send him the link directly via an email.... a good webmail site that works with an existing pop or imap account is http://www.mail2web.com

i know I've been a downer, I'm just trying to make sure that people know what they are buying. I apologize if I've given off the wrong impression to you, as I undoubtedly have.

you couls always modify your hosts file... >8- ) pornoforum.net it is! j/k, i would never do that.

I prefered the old link to the forum on the left better.... now it looks like it's suposed to be a heading for the other items and not its own link

heh, by looking at those drives can you tell what kind they are? I bet tannin could pick out 1 for sure....

well... I have gotten an A on the project proposal, an A on the presentation, an A on my status report, now all that needs to be graded is my self analysis and the content of my project (50% of grade). I hope the pattern continues... I put the site on CD-ROM incase it happens to go down, and...

now that i read that.. it isn't really clear... the 17" and the 15" monitor were actually made 8 years ago (1994)

$200... man.. I would hate to see that... I have a couple pounds of 4mb SIMM's.. now if only I had a time machine. BTW, how much would you guess a 17" monitor with a max resolution of 1600x1200 @60Hz went for 8 years ago?... cause I got one... my guess is > $1000. I base this on the fact...
