Did you typo the address? It's timing out from here...

Client has a couple hundred employees and wants to know if they are going places they shouldn't on company time. They don't want to block it (yet), just know how serious a problem it is. I can see the logs from Dan's Guardian or similar, but the issue is that a single users purchase of a single...

I haven't built a system with a floppy in many years, my systems haven't had floppy drives installed since before 100MB ZIP drives.

I've made a number of flash drives bootable, using the UBCD or Ubuntu 6.10. Both involved partitioning and reformatting the drives. I don't think it's anything to worry about.

I suspect its with the graphics jacked up all the way and running at 1920x1200. I'm running at 1600x1200, and it's playable (see sig).

IIRC, the OS also needs to support booting from USB, or at least some drivers to support it. What OS are you trying to run? There are a number of Linux Distro how-tos that are very comprehensive.

This system is a dedicated firewall, the OS does nothing but route and filter traffic between Ethernet ports (like a Linksys router). It just happens to be on steroids: A64 3000+, 512MB of RAM, and a 32GB 10k RPM hard drive in a Tyan 1U server chassis. I'm running antivirus, content filtering...

Geez, that thing is a beast. I bet your firewall doesn't have a raptor in it ;)

I know, but I'm actually using it elsewhere, and sending it to someone else. I didn't realize it would be so big...(TWSS*) *That's what she said

Where does it report FPS in the game? Or was that an approximation?

Seconded. Very fun as well. Still trying to figure out some of the tricks (exact location of the mega-goodies, etc).

Priscilla is hilarious. One of my parent's favorite movies. I suppose that explains a lot about me.

For the country or the world? Unlikely. Though I'm sure some Halliburton stockholders are willing to buy him a beer or two...

Heroes and Top Gear are the only shows I watch with regularity. Though the GF makes me watch Sex and the City, and I make her watch Good Eats.

I've dated a few women my mother's age...

My stuff: Today was the first major rain of the season. My 45-minute drive home took 3 hours, with over 20 accidents still in the lanes as I drove past.

Walmart is the drain filter of humanity.* I'm not saying you are a bad-looking guy, just that using walmart for comparison is not unbiased. *Rondom thought: If only we had a garbage disposal instead of a filter, we would be much better off.

Beautiful shot Handruin. Enjoying your new toy? What were the features that drove you to get it?

Yes, I already have the 18-55. And I still need to play with it some more for landscapes. Just curious if something shorter would be fun. Sounds like that is a yes. I know I have a lot to learn before I'll be knocking out decent pictures, but accumulating lenses isn't like accumulating computer...

When did realism and logic have anything to do with each other? People won't pay more for a car that does less. That performs worse, that is smaller, that has less range. What they need is irrelevant.

Yes Obi-Wan :p I've been reading up on composition, but I don't have an eye for it yet.

I'm hearing that there isn't much headroom in the 6400+, and that it is still 90nm. What is the fastest of their 65nm chips?

ICE = Internal Combustion Engine = regular cars.

I think I'll be getting that 60mm EF-S Macro next, though a wider-angle landscape lens would be nice. Is the 18-55 good for that? Or is there something I'm not considering?

Redundant array of inexpensive di*ks... Sorry, couldn't help it.

Looking over the list I noticed something I hadn't seen before. 5000+ Black Edition = unlocked multiplier ;)

Props to AMD for keeping themselves relevant. Not profitable, but relevant.

This is why the UAW is going to kill the big three. With ICE, all their experience and assets have given them some advantage vs. any newcomers. But with composite construction materials and electric motors, a lot of that advantage is gone. Sure it still costs a lot to build a car in volume, but...

That has been my recent experience as well. If there is any wind at all, trees and clouds are out. I tried taking 2 quick shots with my cat, but even though she was ready to pounce, there was too much movement. The statues were easy, nothing could move but the camera, and that is easy to correct...

Congrats on the new ride. Just to show you how little value I place in "safety" and specifically "mass", I'm now looking at a Lotus Elise. I was looking at a BMW 135i, but it weighs in at 3438lbs (1560Kg)! That is 1450lbs more than the Elise! If I end up getting a Series 1, that is 1 ton more...

Grandma gamers...sweet.

Every modern mobo that I know of has a 16x PCIe port. (excluding VIA EPIA) My problem is usually as follows: Build a system for a guy doing quickbooks. One weekend, his family visits, and his grandson brings his favorite computer game. If it doesn't work, you will hear about it.

My thought is that I don't want a computer to fail to run anything older than it is. It doesn't have to run well, or quickly; just successfully install and start at the lowest settings.

For quite some time now, none of my users get on-board video. Dedicated video memory is always a good thing, and having an upgrade path is useful.

A little cold here, actually. 9:30AM and 57F. Supposed to hit 70F, though.

That is safe enough. I hate that cars today have to weigh 3000+ lbs just for all the safety gear. So many stupid laws have been passed requiring specific design elements, it makes truly efficient cars near impossible. Bumpers that don't take damage below 5mph 20+ Airbags Sensors to prevent...

NOD32. Still the best IMHO. I haven't used Avira, so if you are feeling adventurous...

That was kind of my question. If there are reasons to take less shots besides difficulty or CPU consumption ;) I've been playing with shooting like crazy (17 shots, 1/3 stop apart) and then picking the ones that properly expose specific details, letting the rest over/underexpose into the...

Still playing. I was of the impression that you would want as much range in your exposure levels as there is in the scene to be captured. If that includes a tree in shadow with a sunlit cloud in the background, that will be much more than +/- 2EV. I don't know what the DR is of the 20D, but I've...

;) My worst was putting my laptop in hibernate one night while playing a, erm, video. The next day, hooked it up to the projector at a clients for a presentation...and got a talking to from HR.

I don't have a problem with drives sitting on my desk, or in a drawer. Don't drop them, don't touch them without grounding yourself first, and don't heat them. They aren't magical, common sense is all that is required.

Yep. But quite a few things in Photoshop include significant processing time as well.

Registered RAM is a bummer and the low clock-speed is pretty bad; but none of the boards seem to have any OC capabilities whatsoever. Therefore I find it likely that a heavily OC'd Q6600 (3.2? 3.4?) would likely smoke one of these anyway. 4*3.4=13.6 8*1.8=14.4 Ignoring IPC variations and...

The difference is in the first digit. The 8347 supports 8-way (32 core) systems, where the 2346HE supports 2-way (8 core) systems. That is how they squeeze the money out of the supercomputer market with otherwise standard hardware ;)

OT: Hardware can no longer be an argument for going to the dark side; they use the same hardware as everyone else.

Actually, no. If you follow the link you will see the 1.8Ghz CPUs are $299 each, so 2 x $299 = $600.

My lifestyle is definatly a choice, my income is perhaps 25% of what it could be were I to "apply myself" as I used to. Many people may feel forced to work insane hours, but I suspect that most of it is self-imposed. These vacations I speak of are not granted; they are either endured by my...

This is what I was thinking, then I realized I already have a thumb drive for that. Problem looking for a solution, IMHO.
