Another reason not to drive... they can take your license away.

I doubt that it'll go very far... but a drunkard class might be worthwhile....

I've found the junk filters on Eudora to be surprisingly good, and, more importantly, easy to use.

Is there really a meaningful difference in actual *network* performance? The only real difference appears to be CPU utilization, which is a function of the drivers, not the hardware.

Is that any good?

Anomaly? Sounds pretty normal to me. If you can't see the drive individually, why would the utility?

Divesting themselves of long distance? There isn't really anything left *except* long distance. The cell phone business was spun off some years ago (ticker symbol AWE), and is in line to merge with Cingular (which is SBC's and Bellsouth's cell business). The computer and equipment businesses...

Life is just one damned thing after another. - Frank Ward O'Malley

Southwestern Bell outgrew its geographical name. SBC is now the phone company in parts of Connecticut, Illinois, California, and many other states nowhere near the Southwest. Other fun anachronistic acronyms are AT&T, 3M, NCR, and IBM.

Mandrake *is* really easy to setup, which is why it's great for beginners. People who are serious about Linux move on to more complicated-to-setup and maintain distros, as they can do a lot more with them. Everyone else goes back to Windows.

...by preinstalling the drivers into the sysprep'd image....

Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. - C. Northcote Parkinson

You had the administrator account selected when you set the autologin.

I think that the Omega drivers are appropriately hacked. You may wish to check those out.

L'amour, tel qu'il existe dans la société, n'est que l'échange de deux fantaisies et le contact de deux épidermes. - Nicolas-Sébastien Chamfort

In the PCI-E slot? Certainly not. The connectors are different. I'm sure that the motherboard has at least one regular PCI slot that could be used....

Looks kind of like a Unimog.

Dear Mister Language Person: I am curious about the expression, "Part of this complete breakfast". The way it comes up is, my 5-year-old will be watching TV cartoon shows in the morning, and they'll show a commercial for a children's compressed breakfast compound such as "Froot Loops" or...

I have whatever version comes with WinXP, but still use mplayer2, which is, ostensibly, WiMP 6.4.

You should probably start with only three drives, and work you way up. Try not to drop them... unless they're under warranty 8)

I've never heard of temperature reading issues before. Maybe these are the "my RAID 0 suxorz" threads that I don't read?

This really could make your data fresh... herbal essence might be a good choice.

I find that opening a window and sticking my hand out is a good way to find out what the weather is like outside. Very accurate and timely....

Are you implying that we should put conditioner in our drives?

Pittsburg has an NFL team? I know that Pittsburgh does....

You can either get a floppy (external USB may just work) or add the drivers to your install CD. MSFN seems to be the best source of help for the latter, in my opinion.

That's not my experience. My 1614N usually reads exactly the same as the 7k250 that sits directly above it in the case. Both temperatures are appropriate.

This year, a team from another nation will play. I predict the Alouette.

You said between, as in one versus the other. Not quite the same as in-between, as in the gap or difference of the two.

Je parle espagnol à Dieu, italien aux femmes, français aux hommes et allemand à mon cheval. - Emperor Charles V

Have deals lined up for BF1942 Deluxe and Breakthrough. MOHAA Deluxe now $17 SWWWII now $8

There's no fluid dynamics between the head and the platter.... they're both solids. It's that wee bit of air inbetween that's interesting.

Should have been a trashman. Big money in that.

There's no way that you're being ignorant now!

Corporate organization strikes again!

No, no. Come be a conservative like everyone else. It's not dogmatic thinking! 8)

No, the discussion involved data transfer going from one disk to another on the controller, without having to touch main memory or an external bus. If you read what you previously wrote, you clearly said, "If the OS would read source file(s) from the drive until physical RAM ran out...."...

I'm on the Hitachi bandwagon. Samsung would be my second choice.

I think you've missed it. It's the controller that's handling the transaction, not the OS. Since the controller runs the array, it would *still* be responssible for these tasks. Since RAID 5 controllers tend to be "smarter," I'd say it'd be easier for them to do something like this. Your...

Lies, damn lies, and statistics....

So, you're saying that you're a name-calling fascist?

He's talking about the Serias, where people ski in the winter... you know it never gets cold there.

I feel that leaving the disk messy gives the program something to do 8)

The same way that they always have?

As a conservative, I have to say that your thoughts are too unconservative. Since all people are conservative, and you are clearly not, you must not be a person. So we have another ape in our midsts?

By this argument, all liberals are conservatives... so there are only conservatives! Genius!

Assuming that even half of file copy operations are sequential at one end or the other is a lot to ask. I honestly don't see how sustained reads and writes are better, when you're still limited by the media transfer rate for anything larger than the write buffer of the receiving drive (at which...

I have PerfectDisk set to run every night. Overkill, yes -- but I never get a serious hit from fragmentation, and the disks aren't really doing anything else at two in the morning.

Hate to break it too you, but people tend to get more *conservative* as they age. They don't want things to change.

That's not a controller's job anyway. It's up to the OS to keep the file system coherent. It shouldn't be sending commands to put data in sectors that aren't where the file is going. This is kind of like saying it's quicker to pour water from one bucket to another by putting all of the water...
