Thanks guys. CityK, Thanks for the link to the other PS calc. Most of my FF settings are at default; that means Java & JavaScript are enabled (I double checked). So why doesn't IIHS work for me? I'm bugged.

Thanks for the info, Handruin. That is bizarre! I've been using FF to read The Inquirer daily for the last month with absolutely no problems. The Insurance page doesn't work for me, but works for you. What on earth is going on??

Now I know Firefox is more standards compliant than IE; what I'm talking about is problems visiting certain web sites, and asking if there's something in the settings I can tweak in FF to make my life easier. I've gone from a 100% IE user to about 10% IE and 90% FF, a change that amazes even...

Tells me I need a 319 Watt + 30 Watt safety margin = 349 Watt power supply. I've been running on an Antec 300 Watt since the time I built this system - 12/2000. I think part of the problem is that the questions are very generic, and so the calculation has to provide enough margin - probably...

You didn't give us the number, SD.

It was there; I saw the page. They must have pulled it with all the hits the page must have got as the news spread. Bunch a chicken!

The beginning of the end of the resistance.

Prescott at 120+ Watts??? (not that I care or plan on using one, but am amazed that Intel could actually release a monster like this).

Unholy shit! Ban 'em, Ban 'em, Ban 'em!

I'm not yelling at you, Merc. It just the way you announce each new problem - with apparent glee even though I know the actual situation is the opposite. e_dawg, companies like this are not poor by any stretch of the imagination. A decade ago, CRM was the hottest thing; it promised to provide a...

Sheesh, the way you keep saying "But wait, there's more!", you sound like a pitchman for a TV infomercial. You're not going to take this lying down, are you? Contact your PUC, the FCC. Give 'em hell.

Soon, somebody'll take a car radiator and mount it on the side of the case to cool one of these beasts (Tejas / Prescott). Global warming will get worse (now, now, this is a joke, don't get upset). You can park your PC in the kitchen (toss out your low-tech cooking range); you'll need really...

Awesome!

Nope. The N/S? American continents don't count. :spiderman:

If you have a Public Utilities commission there, you need to write them a formal letter. They do act on incidents like this. Verizon owes you money, an apology and some free service. Don't let them get away with this. They're doing this to you because customers in the past let them get away with it.

For all native born Americans who've never travelled to other countries, especially Asia - please do. The U.S. is admired for its indomitable strength, its innovations. But it will be an eye-opener, the degree to which the U.S. is reviled and hated for its hypocrisy and bankrupt foreign policies.

Thanks for the update, Mercutio.

More damaging assertions against Bush.

My sentiments exactly. Once you do know where everyone stands on issues, there's no point debating them over and over. Nobody's going to change their opinions, and it's just going to lead to bad feelings. While on this topic, I have to say that there's quite a bit of truth in some of what...

Anti-War Activists Call for Bush Censure Over Iraq

Gentlemen and Ladies, can we have model numbers wherever possible, please? I've used only a few motherboards, and none have ever given me any problems. Granted, my sample size is too small to be maningful. 2 x Shuttle Hot-569 (TX chipset) 2 x Supermicro P5STE 1 x FIC PA2007 (some VIA...

So is Albatron a good brand overall? I was somehow under the impression that they were ultra cheap, poorly designed & built products like PC Chips, Matsonic, etc. I build very few systems and have thus far stuck with brands like Tyan and Asus. Fry's here often has bargain bundles of an Athlon...

I must be one of the few in the USA who hasn't seen any movie in the trilogy (haven't read the books either) :cry: Like jtr, I hardly see movies, at the cinema or on TV. Someday I'll get hold of the extended edition DVDs and watch it at home. It won't have the grandeur of seeing it in the...

First, no snide remarks, laughing and poking fun at me. My system is truly “legacy”, but wasn’t when I built it. And if I had the spare cash to build a new one, I would. Second, I’m no gamer. I’ve never played any of the popular games; strictly Solitaire/Freecell/Minesweeper, usually when I’m...

Personally, I'd take a very serious look at Athlon XP-M based systems besides the Pentium-M machines. The faster grades of the P-M machines seem to be terribly expensive. Watch out for maddeningly high resolutions on small size LCDs. The real problem in buying a laptop is finding the right...

1.30.7. The txt file that came with it reads (in part): Linksys, A division of Cisco Systems, Inc. Product: WRT54G Classification: Frimware Release History Firmware Date: 7/08/2003 Release Date: 7/16/2003 Last Firmware Version: 1.30.7...

I installed a Linksys WRT54g Router/AP + 3 x Linksys WPC54g wireless PC Cards for somebody circa November 2003. It didn't support WPA out of the box, but: * flashed the Router/AP to the latest firmware available at that time and * updated the PC card drivers to the latest available at that time...

My interpretation of that marvelous piece of technical writing is: No matter what the cache policy, reads are always cached (read ahead) On writes, "cached" results in write-back; i.e., data is written only to cache, and is written to the drive by the controller at a later time when the drive...

SCO could potentially sue the following, because they use Linux in one way or another: The U.S. District Court in Nevada where the lawsuit against AutoZone was filed The FBI The White House The Department of Defense The Department of Homeland Security US-CERT, the U.S. Computer Emergency...

Thanks for the reply, e_dawg. Notebooks I may possibly upgrade are an IBM T23 and a Dell Lattitude C640.

LunarMist, Thanks for the link for the 7k60. I didn't see any compatibility information. Can one stick one of these into any notebook computer that uses 2.5" drives? I'm wondering about the overall electrical / interface compatibility issues.

Almost all Sonicwall products will satisfy requirements #1, #2 and #4. Maybe they have models that satisfy #2 and #5 as well. Their products are good, but their licensing can suck. At the very least, it won't hurt to check them out. An inexpensive but highly rated line of products is made by...

It has been rightly pointed out to me that: 1) It might be considered rude and embarrassing to be "loudly" asked about a private aspect of one's life in the middle of a room full of people. 2) It might have been better to PM Eric instead. I plead guilty. Being dim-witted, I realized my...

Gosh, I'm sorry to hear of the rough times you've had, Eric. I hope things will get better for you. You're a very nice person, and like me, I'm sure most of the old-timers care about you. Hang in there, will ya? And holler if there's anything I can do to help.

Interesting article from the McKinsey Quarterly, on News.com Infosys is the premier IT company in India. I read a fascinating article elsewhere on how they got started in the early '80s as a three-person outfit. The chairman (the founder) looks like a doofus, but is incredibly intelligent. Bill...

Thanks, Pradeep.

What's the difference between VIVO and AIW cards? Why would you choose one over the other? :o Thanks!

You know, Fushigi, you can have most of these and still be stuck in the mud. I easily have #1, #3 and #5 (as does most everybody at SF). My nose is quite large, and functions pretty well; I've always seen the writing on the wall much sooner than anybody else, but have always had difficulty...

* Sigh * Deep problems, experienced universally, for which there are no easy answers. After several thousand years, you'd think humans would have figured all these things out and nurtured and guided young ones in society to become bright, fulfilled, happy, people. Based on personality, traits...

Well, well, I was replying and got locked out. Adcadet, did you have a swap partition on the IDE drive(s)? If you did, hook it up, boot to PartitionMagic floppys and delete that partition. Nothing else makes sense to me now.

Please, no wisecracks. That's not why I made this post initially - to poke fun, but out of concern. IIRC, his typing skills were quite good before the SR DB crash. I'm also wonder why he doesn't spell check and or do a preview.

Just you wait till the elections, Coug. The pain is deep and wide throughout America. I'll bet that Mr. Bush will be a one-trick pony like his dad.

No, no, no, in no way was I referring to anything other than his typing! He's always been such a sweet, helpful person. I was concerned about his typing. We all make a typo or two, but many of his recent posts seem to be like this one. I just hope he's all right.

Darn double post. Sorry.

Why does Eric (EBB) slur so bad these days -- I hope he's ok. His latest post at SR: IIRC, he was quite fine before the big DB crash there.

Pity. Reminds me of the song rowdy classmates used to sing, back in middle school. Diana, Diana, show me your leg A yard above the knee .....

Search Pricewatch for "ATI VIVO"; there's a ton of choices starting at $49. The real issues are, do you want a "built by ATI" card; do you want a retail version? Do you want a native DVI port on it (I would; and I mean a real DVI port, not a converter for the VGA port)?

Thanks, Howell. Maybe the sequence in which you perform the operations has a bearing on what happens. I couldn't understand why the footer was not getting replicated on each page of the chapter. I wasn't about to cut and paste it 88 times (total number of pages in the entire document...

Ouch! Hope it's nothing serious. Get well soon, fella.

Serves you right. Didn't you try to find Tea on your way back? Just let the little one go off even though she didn't know better? Just left her in the tree and left there by yourself? SHAME ON YOU!!
