Scumbag.

Been getting it multiple times now. Got off, cleared browser cache and seems to be ok for now. :(

56) Fight instigator (you used to do that a lot of SR!) And if you do pick #24, please, as a top priority, make him say nuclear right.

Well, sorry for the coming to the party even later. I saw The Matrix (no, not "Reloaded", but the first one) for the first time on Friday :lol:. Yet to see Reloaded. 'Course a lot of things make no sense to me :(. I gues I should not expect Reloaded to clear things up any. As somebody...

Have never seen it before, but got the XML error just now when I tried to see this thread in "For Sale & Trade". 2003/06/01, 12:40 hours, PDST. Been using IE 5.5 forever.

No, one can't argue with $$$ even if one has to fly an extra 2000 miles! (scratches head still trying to figure it all out.....)

Buck, you made no mention of balls or rears, so you were not included in "guys" in my first post. Fushigi, Coug is bad and Merc is worse. You're the absolute worst. Imagine, a commercial tree chipper/shredder being fed slowly into somebody's rear.

Blake! I never would have guessed!

My unasked for opinion: I liked the old Coug better.

You guys have a fascination for balls and people's rears.

I have a Promise Ultra 100. The last two versions of their drivers suck - slurring when playing audio. Each channel has a single drive on it, a WD 1200JB and a WD 800JB. Even playing a small MP3 will slur. In WMP and in the ATI file player. Granted, W2k SP3 (which is what I run) and WXP SP1...

Thanks for the response, folks. I've had my eye on getting PMP certification for a long time. I know I can pass all of the exam stuff; never a worry there (I'm not belittling the exam; just confident in myself). There's one very major glitch. They want at least 4 years of actual project mgmt...

No, no, please don't tell me to use Google. TIA!

Thanks, Merc & honold.

Congrats, JoJo! Good for you! LPI...Lines per inch. Care to educate the ignorant?

Care to elucidate if it isn't too much of a bother?

Come on guys, quit sniggering. What does Bose mean in your lingo?

My service is 1500 max 384 guaranteed download, 128k upload. I typically get ~ 900kbps download :( This is with the local telco who provides both my DSL line and the internet access. I pay $40/month for the whole package for a 1-year commitment, got free DSL modem and filters. With the same...

Prof: I don't know you well. But it seems strange to me that you would stick to the refrain that Bose is great. Some of us hold the contrary opinion. Experience counts. I know serveral people that bought into the Bose mystique and plunked down money for their speakers. When I heard them, they...

You talking dirty again, honold? :lol:

Jeeze, I made my comment before reading Merc's links!

Bose has made and still makes plenty of lemons. Their marketing hype, mystique and image overshadows their product performance 50:1.

A friend sent me the following via email. I don't agree with every bit, but it made me think and certainly laugh. I quote: Subject: Fw: Andy Rooney's tips - Telemarketers Andy Rooney's tips re. Telemarketers Three Little Words That Work !! (1)The three little words are: "Hold On, Please..."...

'Course not, Free - the PATA spec included this capability from day one. Buck really intended to say that Merc was going to hot swap an XP1700+ overclocked to 2700+. Not that there's any problem with that either.

Whatcha gonna do next, Merc? Walk on water?! :mrgrn:

That was very beautiful and inspiring, jtr1962! Thank you for sharing and for so eloquently expressing what is so difficult to say.

I read this stuff eons ago in an even older issue of Playboy. I don't know if there'd be a copyright problem; it's at least 23 years old. There was no PC around or copier handy, and I wrote all this down by hand -- a labor of love. Read it all, or it's no fun. There's a cadence/rythm to it...

I guess it depends on the chipset revisions, or when the board was made? I also have an Abit BH6, purchased soon after it was released, and it has only 3 DIMM slots, supports only 384MB. IIRC, it does support 256<B DIMMs.

I love the way you guys phrase things here! I actually went to several car parts stores looking for those manuals that would tell me how so I could do it myself, but either this problem was not even mentioned or had something silly like "take off door panel, replace, put panel back on again"...

I have 4 x 256 MB Crucial non-ECC, non-registered PC133 sticks running in my Tyan Tiger 100 S1832DL 440BX board. Stable as the Rock of Gibraltar.

Blake, thanks for the detailed info! Basically, I shopped around like crazy, calling on the phone. The dealer wanted to replace the assembly + motor for ~ $340+. All others, including AAA approved, said labor would range from ~ $90 to $200, with parts extra, and no clue as to how much the parts...

Sorry to hear about the clutch, tim. Noise is relative. My '94 Camry is significantly quieter than my wife's '99 Civic LX, which has unbearable (for me) noise (road & wind) and harshness levels. We don't listen to any music in it, and have to shout at each other. But compared to your Jeep, it's...

At the Inquirer.

Shocking, I say! Absolutely shocking!

New menace to wildlife!

Absolutely. That was the reason for my comment that I felt that Hondas were sluggish. 99% of my driving is in the city. And in CA, where you have to merge into a bunch of banshees flashing by, it's painful to drive a sluggish vehicle. My car is a '94 Camry V6 Automatic with 160k miles (it's the...

Merc, Fushigi already said everything there is to say, but in a nutshell, reliability & warranty + safety & efifciency. While this is not automatically true for every new car purchased, with a little bit of care in the selection, these objectives can easily be achieved. And honestly, I think a...

I've got to harass somebody,right (ask honold, he'll tell you :mrgrn:) Thanks for helping out, Steve! Thanks, Howell. People sometimes seem to paint me in blacks and whites (mostly black) while my conviction is that it's all gray, different shades of it. And for the record, I'm not anti-govt...

You're the biggest waste out there. With the sway you have over words, you ought to be writing, man. (shakes head in disgust at talent wasted)

Looks way cool, Doug! And I'm sure it has better than the fabulous Honda handling. Enjoy, and post your comments back!

I've always wondered about the "e pox" name. Yeah, they're not a Western country, but still.

Gosh! I didn't know I could do that, zx! If I did, I would have tried that for sure. Lol, one learns something new everyday! Thanks, pal! In a side note, I installed FreeBSD 4.8 late last night in a VM, and boy, is that sucker fast! I had to pretty much short-cut the install (had to shut...

Why're you having power probs, Merc? I thought power in the U.S. was something you took for granted - like the air we breathe.

Yes, according to the KB article.

For the umpteenth time. I'm trying to install in VMWare 4.0, from my Lite-on 16x DVD-ROM drive (which has worked flawlessly so far). Virtual m/cs in VMware use the BX chipset (which is what my real m/c is anyway!). I first downloaded the .iso files from an unofficial mirror (which I found on...

You proved what I suspected all along, Blake! If it's got Bismuth in it, it's got to be pink......

Oh, would you, please, honold, please???? You're such a sweet guy!

See Techbargains for a bunch of deals. There's a closeout on Lexmark printers at Dartek. I believe the limit is 5 rebates per address.

Honold, I hear what you're saying and don't diasagree with it. But there's something more, isn't there? I'm no expert on health and dieting. But what little I do know says that the body has a preference for fat over muscle. When you starve (almost to death) for instance, it will use up muscles...

Honold, congrats, you're that 1 in 10 million that can lose weight without exercise! I could do it at will when I was younger; but you'll find that as you grow older and the blubber settles in it's not that easy any more. Besides mild exercise is beneficial in other ways like keeping your heart...
