    New TV

    I don't consider myself too much of a videophile when it comes to TV... I just like to enjoy a rerun of the simpsons or sienfeld once in awhile... But we've had good luck with JVC in the 27-29" department. I don't know exactly what you're looking for ... flat screen? high definition? do you...

    AV softwares protection racket.

    The article does have some truth to it, however balming the AV companies and using the word "racket" is just absurd. It goes to show that the most effective Anti virus tool is a good POLICY that is well enforced. Personally, I (1)don't run executable files from unknown sources, (2) I don't...

    The Space Simulator Cluster

    Well, i would really like one for myself, but I was thinking of my sister who doesn't have a PC of her own(she shares one with my parents) and it really doesn't meet her specs very well. My sister is quite a bit younger than me and doesn't have a job, and my parents have little interest in...

    Windows clock losing time...

    I find that my computers have historically kept very good time. Much better than my alarm clocks or timex watches. I have used a timex indiglo expedition watch for nearly 8 years.. I think I'm on my second or third one now. They dont break, I just lose them. I no longer place it on my wrist...

    Cold weather and laptops

    the muppets are not bad... or do rivers/cities... in a lab at school we did monsters (werewolf, frankenstein, the blob, fang, Dracula, etc)... At home I do characters from Anime (chibi-usa, usagi, mihoshi, papillion, tenchi, chibi-chibi, tinNyanko, ...)

    well what do you expect them to do? ask the virus maker for full information before releasing the virus?

    Multiprocessing and Multitasking

    What bug??? AS far as I can tell... when win2k/XP says PIO.. and I run a benchmark... it really is PIO mode (Even if during bootop it said something else)... HIgh CPU usage and slow transfer rates are the pits.

    most unsecure O/S? yup, it's possibly Linux...

    I find it funny that all of those openSSL problems were fixed before CERT posted anything about them.... same with the ISC BIND 9. A patched version that fixed this problem was available months before CERT posted about the vulnerability. These kind of things speak clearly to me that open source...

    Intel cable pack: 68pin 7 device SCSI, 30" floppy, etc

    I just thought I should link to the compgeeks site because I often find it frustrating to buy a cable for 10 times what it should cost.... http://www.compgeeks.com/products.asp?cat=CBL check out the round IDE cables and the molex Y splitters... great deals compared to what I can get locally.

    You know... this has been said before... but I feel it should be said again When there is a problem with Apache... people say.. "Oh look at that, another Linux security flaw" or when there is a bug in Samba... people are quick to blame linux. But I don't hear anybody saying "Microsoft sucks...

    Do I need more RAM?

    4MB of available RAM??? Yeah, that 4mb was pretty common in winNT 4 setups.... but those are usually considered "Low memory" situations... you might want to go through msconfig and get rid of any crap-ware that came with the computer or has been installed since then. After that I would go...

    Drive benchs and pimpage

    now that I think about it, If i sat behind a computer using these drives.. I probably couldn't pick which computers had which drives unless i used a benchmark to tell me. So, given that, I may as well pick drives on things like reliability, cost, warranty, and of course accoustics. it's too...

    na... a remap that takes place in the keyboard drivers will work in almost any application whether or not it supports find/replace. I would assume the only time it wouldn't work is if a program does not use the keyboard driver you're using for windows.... that would maybe be some games... and...

    Is one of my hard drives on the way out?

    sounds like a good course of action to me... you might also want to take this as an oppurtunity to backup any files dear to you or possibly image the entire HDD.

    More on the next Plextor SCSI CD-RW

    are there alot of people that want this? (I'm sure there must be some demand for it otherwise plextor wouldnt have made it) I would have thought most people would have already gotten IDE writers since SCSI ones have been few and far between. With UDMA drives I don't really see the benefits of a...

    Drive benchs and pimpage

    i agree that IOmeter is a better indicator for server use. I also agree that winbench is better indicator for desktop use. the .9ms access time difference between the 2 barracudas is half the difference between going from a 5400RPM drive to a 7200RPM drive. If you had 2 drives with the same...

    strange scandisk behavior

    muhahaha... I found a fix... computing.net had this fix... as it was alos posted on a microsoft tech article... It recomended defragging free space only, then doing files, then defagging everything, however these options were not listed in the win98 advanced section.... i only remember them...

    strange scandisk behavior

    well... even after running scandisk i get the defrag error "defrag006" according to microsoft the problem is that defrag cant read one or more (possibly bad) sectors of the HDD... I am thinking about letting this slide and just not defragging this drive.. or possibly trying a 3rd party util.

    strange scandisk behavior

    hmm.. i thought it might be caused by an overflow in the hardware... but the DOS version of scandisk does not exhibit the same behavior... that only leaves the drivers and the windows version of scandisk itself... how odd.... considering that both win98 and scandisk for win98 were designed to...
