Yes, except that I'm talking about the ATAPI.SYS update.

"All jocks think about is sports; all nerds think about is sex." -- Louis in "Revenge of the Nerds," explaining why nerds are better at sex

Better safe than sorry. Credit is a very fickle thing, and a bitch to fix.

Are you expecting serial ATA floppies and USB 2.0 external analog modems?

So are you saying that this effects anyone with ATA disks larger than 137GB, irrelevant of where they write their dumps or have their hibernation files?

Jeeze. The only problem I've really had with Eudora is Norton Internet Security tripping it up, and causing it to freeze. And that's not a problem with Eudora....

Think again. I bounced a check once, and it was in my credit record for several years.

I presume that this update is only needed for those who write dumps to or have their hibernation files on ATA disks larger than 137GB....

Ah, but did it come off of her record? I've heard of situations wherein the fee was refunded, but the mistake in the credit record remained.

I have a pair of SP1614Ns, which are the parallel ATA version. They're pretty quiet, although a bit warmer than I'd expected. I just got a 7k250 for about the same price as I got the P80s, and it's cooler, quiter, and performs better.

If you define "millennium" in terms of the currently-used calendar and mathematics, the next millennium starts in 2001. If you define "millennium" in terms of popular opinion -- which is equally valid, since it's not uncommon in English for words to have more than one meaning -- then the...

Propaganda is news. Even to the liberal media.

Verizon is stupid. Well known fact. Back when DSL was new (and I was living in Pennsylvania) I got it, with the 30-day money back guarantee. Decided at the time that it wasn't worth $50 a month and cancelled on the last day. They said that it would be off in two to three days. A month and a...

I agree. Seagate isn't even making the strong showing that it once had in the noise department. And it doesn't have anything else.

Maybe people want increased power consumption and failure rates....

Someone with the screen name flagreen should knock-off the ad hominem attacks. I won't stand for half-assed debate.

But will it be cheaper than flash?

"It was warm in there. So sue me." --Van Butler, on being born a month late

The problem with terrorism is that each side gladly provokes the other. Case in point: Israel. I cannot remember when the actions of Israel or Palestinian groups was not retaliation of some sort for an action that the other side made. Israelis knock down a building, Palestinians set off a...

Yes. It's called view angle. When you get outside of the view angle, the picture begins to distort and/or fade, actually disapearing when the polarization gets just right. Unless properly calibrated, the colour that you see on an LCD monitor isn't going to be the same as you would see on a...

It's 80F here now... shooting for another record. You can keep the snow, but I'll take ten degrees lower from you.

I'd have to have at least a double-wide. Don't think that there are any triple-wide spots in the parks around here....

"Science cannot stop while ethics catches up -- and nobody should expect scientists to do all the thinking for the country." -- Elvin Stackman

At least you guys own houses. I've just been trying to get into a condo so that $1.7k a month is going somewhere....

Student: "There was a boy in my high school who's parents gave him a sex change for graduation" [it was something the kid wanted] Prof. Straub: "Sure is better than a typewriter."

Damn you. I was hoping to be offended.

I'm going to state the obvious: this isn't worth the effort. You could do this using something unhappy like Flash, or hacked-up images, or code that isn't compatible with several browsers. Or you could just change the design to still be compelling and easy to implement. I'm sure that this...

Where does the DOS boot sector come from? My understanding it that the DOS bootsector is partition-specific; meaning that I'd have to install DOS to my boot partition. Other than the aforementioned jacking of my system volume, I'd have to own DOS (I was hoping to convert from the WinME boot...

I've never worked with MPEG4, but, presumably, it's keyframed; so a framerate drop would involve a complete reencode of the video (as opposed to just pulling out the frames that you wish to drop). Depending on what exactly you expect to show up in the video, decreases in resolution, framerate...

"He was one of those people that I wouldn't call merely bisexual, but rather, indiscriminate." --Todd Zimnoch, of an aquaintance

You can always save space by recompressing. You just lose a lot of data in the process. How much of the picture is worth losing to save space?

Read this already. Involves installing DOS then Windows.

Bozo, meet the molex splitter. Molex splitter, Bozo. Now try working with four fans, two opticals and four harddrives vying for molex connectors. Not to mention the floppy drive and persnickity video card who want power connectors, as well...

The entrenchment of IDE seems to be much more of a barrier than it should be. Drive manufacturers are showing no sign of abandoning it and motherboards are following suit....

I'd just like to note that if you post, you will no longer be considered a "lurker." You may wish to create a secondary account to make real posts.

>"The existence of God has the same probability as there being a > bunch of pink elephants dancing behind my head right now." Statistically this doesn't work. Folow this similar example. Next Tuesday there are two possibilities: it might rain or it might not. Does this mean that there is...

Anglo Saxon is, in fact, a lot closer to Dutch or Flemish than German (or than I'd prefer, for that matter, those damn Angles). The closest living Germanic language to modern English is Frisian, which is distinctly not modern German. Most native speakers of English can understand, to a very...

I bought a PC Power and Cooling 510 Deluxe. They've done the same thing -- instead of two molex connectors I have two useless SATA power connectors. Then again, all three power supplies that I've used in this particular machine have a P4 connector that my Athlon doesn't need....

It's about time that somebody came out with a SATA optical.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he'll be a mile away--and barefoot. --Sarah Jackson

What kind of breaks are you putting into the document? Continuous breaks will cause page numbering to go through.

Rage against the machine!

Is there some advantage to porners signing up here (or anywhere)?

Windows XP comes with the older AMI drivers, and, as I said, I forced it to use the latest LSI drivers, and it always poops out somewhere. I've also tried goofing around with the array settings, and it doesn't make a difference. It works perfectly if I image an existing installation to the...

Porn site members?

"Virginity, Duct Tape, and Your Future" --Section title from an abstinance pamphlet

Over the last month or so, I've been trying to build a custom Windows XP install disk with service pack one integrated and an answer file. However, every disk that I've made barfed during installation -- sometimes in text mode, but always before finishing GUI mode install. Most of the time the...

For reference I think that I got an answer on this. The I/O policy refers to caching of reads, while the read-ahead policy refers to the speculative read-ahead cache. In direct I/O, a read always goes to the media. In cached I/O, the first time a read is made, it comes from the media, but...

Update So, Symantec has decided that it's my volume, and not Ghost, which is causing this issue. They have no explanation as to why Ghost 7.5 has no trouble at all. Better yet, when I nefariously asked for suggestions on non-Symantec products to use in place of Ghost, they suggested...

Why has this taken so long? While I doubt that this feature will be a major force in the market, and can't see why someone hadn't brought this kind of thing out before.
