just to bash a little... i like how the illustration aprears to show a fan... now that's new solid state technology for you.... also I have to say that peteirs are nothing new... I remember buying them for socket 7 cpu's... They were even available at the local tech shops... Peltiers seemed to...

I have a HP 560C... I find that the ink cartridges will either dry out or worse yet leak/gooze ink out of the cartdridge if left inactive for very long. When I say long, I mean 2-3 months. I bought a new black cartridge and left it in the printer for just a couple months and noticed that it...

I found that setting up samba via webmin was very easy. During installation of both Mandrake and Redhat you can choose to install Samba (So that should be a no brainer). I know in the last 2 releases of mandrake you can select it to start on boot with the other services too. So installation...

I found this site a year or two ago. It is a decently well written guide to cleaning a keyboard. http://www.computing.net/howto/simple/keyboard/ I have found it works wonders for sticky keys due to soda spillage... plus it will make an old dirty keyboard look like new. (Great for buying used...

What is offensive to me is that you act as if you have seen one American you have seen them all. Most people would call that stereotyping or discrimination.

I just have to jump in here now that I saw this As you might already know, the USA is a very diverse coutry in terms of ethnic backgrounds. In my school alone I could probably spot people from Europe, the middle east, the far east, and south america on a day to day basis. Not just people...

a celcius degree is 9/5ths of a Fahrenheit degree so if you have a celcius tempurature, say Zero. Multimply it by 9, divide by five, and add 32... 32F Take 100 Celcius, multiply by 9, divide by 5, and add 32.... 212F by the way, water in Kansas City boils around 210F (Altitude...err...

That is stuff only a mother could love.

i've only heard bad things about nvidia's 40.x series... i was told that they were made to allow geforce4 to compete with the radeon 9700.... giving faster framerates at the expense of picture quality.... I tried the omega drivers based on the 30.82 nvidia ref. drivers and I'm sticking to them...

I dont seem to have any problems.... I leave my machines on automatic... looking back at the logs I dont see anytime where my WU didn't get excepted immediately or anytime where I had to wait for more WU. I believe there are several servers you can connect to, mybe you should change your server...

to be more specific, another disk away from your OS/apps/anything that will be in use while you might be using the paging file.

Don't you think that will increase seeking (now the hdd will have to make a full stroke more often if it is writing to the temp internet files or the page file while you're accessing data) The alternative is to simply leave the pageing file somewhere amongst your data which will probably mean a...

I installed the Omega drivers... I can see that the textures are a little sharper than before, but other than that not much difference. Maybe it would make more of an impact if I played games like Myst where you can sit back and enjoy the graphics (as opposed to Counter strike)

well, what do you think about this... On boot the bios says 600mhz pentium III, in the bios setup it lists the CPU as having 0 L2 cache. However, windows recognizes the chip as being a ~651mhz PIII and having 256kb L2 cache... win CPU ID says that it's clock speed is 651.46mHz 1) Now, I...

I have used it for cut and paste for as long as I can remember (before the Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V shortcuts. I also use it for overtype modes on occasion (once or twice a day)

lol, I have heard of spy ware that makes money by using referla bonuses... example: Joe shmoe installs kazaa on his computer... joe goes to www.amazon.com trying to buy a book.... suddenly his browser is redirected to w3.site.com and then back to amazon. w3.site.com gets a referal bonus and...

Question: What has Juan Valdez been up to lately? Answer: get a Microsoft® .NET Passport!

wow, i voted number 3 too... glad to see im listed 1st! Atleast I've made an impression on you poor unfortunate souls.

i think my avatar needs an upgrade

LOL, i thought the trivia included with house call was a neat idea... until it tried to sell me PC-cillin!

I have a MSI "ms6156 Ver. 1.0 BX7" motherboard (Verified by looking at the silkscreen label on the mobo).. It's an old slot1 66/100mHz board that I would like to flash. However, I keep getting the error "the program file's part number does not match with your system" when I'm just starting to...

dang it.. they stopped the offer. I had finally decided to buy a copy... I should have ordered it the other day.

tell me what you need me to do Ihsan, I wouldn't mind helping you out

Those are Celcius degrees in Oz right?

Do you have to pass the bronze and silver before getting the gold? Or can you just leap right ahead? might be something for me to put on my resume

Actually, there has been improvements... not so much in the layout, but more with the materials and design We no longer use metal springs in keyboards... those things were plain old TERRIBLE. Terrible feel, dozens of accidental key pressings, poor reliability, etc, etc, etc... Atleast we...

Does anybody use that thermal compound that is included with new heatsinks? You know the one covered by tape that is supposed to be phase change heat transfer compound but just seemes to resemble Bondo (Auto body filler) I have never used that gunk before... though I have sure had the pleasure...

Can anyone recomend a free anti virus utility. I know some have been mentioned before but I can't seem to find them.

I like mandrake 9.0 but had reapeated problems with the included mozilla 1.1 (had to download 1.2) Overall I think that a savvy user or a user doing only basic things such as email/surf/word processing would love mandrake. I have also tried Redhat 8 w/ blue curve... I didn't personally like it...

I wonder how many hours of folding it would take that thing to put us at number 1....

I ahd to bring my AThlon 800mhz down... hopefully I'll have a Duron 1.3 to replace it tomorrow

I just bought the ak32L the other day for $60. It runs great... the most painless motherboard I've ever had... Shuttle also has a bit of BIOS updates so it will atleast take a 2400+ (that's pretty good for a kt266 board) I'm running an Athlon 800mHz w/ 256MB ECC pc2100 right now, but will...

I would almost have to say that it can't be done right now. Especially if they are looking for a significant performance boost. The best bang for the buck would probably be the Duron or celeron(socket 370 variety) processor. I think the retail would be your best bet because of the built in...

Just wondering how many computers the average SF member has running right now. If you have several, why? I have 3 running and another 1 is the family's. AthlonXP 1700+ - Main box; Gaming, school, internet, DVD conversion, Photoshop Athlon 800mHz - My mandrake server, mainly for me to learn...

yes, when i was looking at motherboards I was thinking.. hey, I should just get a socket370 and put a celery in there.... but then I was like "Hey, i already have a athlon CPU... the DDR memory.... it'll be cheaper to buy the athlon mobo" well, guess I as wrong... I'll suck up the 30 bucks...

no, this is a low cost thing.... I have already spent more on this system that I wanted. 1st my mobo dies, then my friend wants his CPU back.... I originally intended spending $25 on the case and that was it.... I've already spent $25 on the case and $60 on a new mobo... I think I'm going to...

Thanks Cas for you help finding the Athlon XP/MP thermal charts.... but I'm having trouble finding data on the original Athlon slot and socketed CPU's The data sheets I've been able to find don't list the average or typical output, but more the maximum thermal output or the maximum die temp...

wow.... I hope they consider joining our folding @ home team.

i've never gotten the chance to use a SiS chipset board, but I wouldn't mind trying... I have heard that their 1 chip solution for NB and SB is much more advanced than VIA's But as it stands now, I think VIA is making reliable and fast chipsets so If SiS can make something that is better than...

Yeah... they were really testing the individual components instead of the interfaces themselves... This is a good approach IMO considering that USB 2.0 is still pretty new and there aren't a whole lot of devices out there to choose from. If you want speed today, get the firewire rig they...

Molex connector before filling: Commence the filling Process! Super durable molex connector: You can see the glue inside the connector, if you squeezed the glue in there nice and hard you can see it reach the bottom of the gap. It's almost like looking at an X-ray in the picture, but in...

A good tip for cheap PSU's or any molex connector for that matter. Whenever I get a PSU or a "Y" cable I use hotglue to fill in the empty spaces around the wires in the molex connectors. This secures the wires in place and means they won't rattle around or push out(very cheap molex connectors)...

yeah, it locks up my system when it tries to detect PIC devices when I start the program... hard lock... It is apparently a problem with my ATI TV wonder .. big surprise right? i can take out my matrox millenium or the ATi and everything works ok. That ATi has been the biggest thorn in my...

I put in my name followed by the computer name (blakerwry-chibiusa) Approx how long will it take for my computer to send data back? pIII 600mHz It is on 1/100 ... I assume it sends back data on 100?

ok, i just installed it on my winME comp that is idle 90% of the time... I may install it on my linux server which will probably be idle just as much... After installing it I just put in the team number for storageforum_net I thik it was 10047... Does my progress just add into the groups? When...

yes, i would say it has to do with your mnt permissions as well... however, I dont know jack about mounting anything... when I goto "man 8 mount" I saw the following... -r Mount the file system read-only. A synonym is -o ro. -w Mount the file system read/write. This is...

what about the 5v pins 4 and 6? Personally, I think you're probably better off leaving it alone., but if you ahve the knowledge and expertise you can try. I'm kind of wondering if the problem is related more towards the Tyan power connector or the power connector of the PSU. It's quite...

na, i get a "cannot execute binary file" error.

Yes, but apple already has BlueTooth. Why should it take several years for m/s to get it right... and why are they implementing their own proprietary protocol when one(open source) already exists?

i thought about it. I might be able to get 2 computers up and doing it. Does it run well on winME? what about linux?
