Well, thanks a lot...I was actually productive today. ;)

Uh....oh...well my DNS wasn't resolving...;)

Well that was quick...good job Handruin!

Wow Howell, those are some amazing UL numbers. That is with the basic plan? Did you do anything erm, special, with your modem? I'm concerned that my UL has been capped in some way due to the fact that I use most of it most of the time. I don't even know if this is possible with cable modem tech.

I have the cheapest Comcast Cable there is, but I am only 7 miles from the test server (14ms latency)

In this case it only means re-ripping about a hundred audio CDs. I've done worse.

For some reason, when I'm really tired, a specific keyboard combination becomes really easy: Ctrl-A Shift-Delete Enter :arge:

Nope. But if my 7950GT can handle 1600x1200, a new card should manage the new resolution.

I've got an older card, and it still holds up to 1600x1200 abuse rather well...

My next will be a 30"; I'm not giving up any of my vertical space (presently using a 21.3" 4:3), so that means going big ;)

Sounds like things are going well for you JTR. If my math is right that is over 20mph for 4 miles straight? Not bad at all. ...and I paid $1.50 for a bottle of water at lunch. My reasoning? It was healthier than the alternative (can of coke). If tap water was available, it would have been the...

It's still a C2D....I don't think they are calling them C2Q, are they?

As I'm stepping up the FSB, all I check for is whether it will get to a desktop. After it fails, I start backing down and checking about 10 minutes of Prime95. After I find a stable speed, I run it overnight to be sure (and may experiment with lower voltages as well).

Ok. Thanks Bozo. I knew about the Ctrl+F1; it's been there for years. Was it Coug that said DDR3 wasn't as fast at the moment?

I'm using the latest Firefox. I know about the sub-forum thing, but it seems odd that it only affects the computers forum and not the others. No big deal, especially if it isn't affecting anyone else. Didn't know about the double-click thing...thanks ;)

This might be a browser issue, or something else me-related, but I can't tell. After reading all the posts in the computers forum and returning to the main page, it still shows the orange "new posts" icon until I go back into the forum, see that there are no new posts, and go back to the main...

Nice. Well done.

I'm a bit confused by this. Do you need to re-enter all your OC settings every time you reboot? Voltage, Freq, Mult, etc? What about RAM timings? That could be a real PITA.

From what I've heard, DDR3 isn't outperforming DDR2 at the moment. True? If so, it seems the GA-P35-DQ6 is the board to get at present if money isn't an issue.

Intel's C2D chips seem to be the way to go for the foreseeable future, and Merc has turned me into a believer of Gigabyte's combination of stability, features and price. Newegg.com currently features 19 motherboards made by Gigabyte for the S775 platform. GIGABYTE GA-8I865GME-775-RH-AS LGA 775...

Which would require: 1) Disabling MAC filtering to see it. 2) Figuring out which of the 30+ connected clients is the new one. I know where to see the MAC on OSX, Win98-Vista, and even Linux. No-one here has an iPhone yet?

A thread for misc iPhone stuff. Does anyone know where to find the MAC address on one?

Lunar, What would cause you to get a body from a second (non compatible) manufacturer? Surely your original choice (Cannon) makes a body with the features you are after that would support your existing lenses? Collecting lenses for 2 different lines seems a bit...crazy?

You guys want invites to parties with lots of women? Fine. Get yourselves some basic tango skills (3 months @ 2 hours a week?) and I can set you up 2:1. My GF gets jealous when there are too many women about (apparently I'm a bit flirty) so the extra guys would be a bonus.

<said under breath while coughing> ahmhericancar </said under breath while coughing> Ugh, sorry. That happens to me sometimes...;)

Apparently so: Forbidden: Your client does not have permission to get URL /s1600 from this server. :p

I'm in the middle of about 50 Compaq C551NRs ($400). They get an image on first boot.

My question is: why isn't the energy/water in the cost already? Clearly someone is (should be?) paying for the energy/water, so that should be factored into the cost already. If it isn't, that means that someone isn't paying what they ought to for the resources they are using. If water and...

That is the one. Rooftop pool? $100 champagne? Too bad you are so far away, we could throw some decent parties (I provide women and you provide everything else. ;)

Cost.

Three thoughts: 1. Job security 2. That tool that cleans all the crap from a new computer automatically 3. 4AM? Getting frisky? ;)

Dupe detection? Sweet. Thanks Handruin.

I wasn't encouraging Eugenics, I was discouraging the government from subsidizing children. Any children.

I currently have a large phone, and the whole point of getting a phone that can do PAM would be so that the phone doesn't have to be so large. If the phone was going to be Treo-sized, I might just do the work from it.

I use Nero Burning Rom 7. It has a "copy" command.

What do you have left Eric?

A service I am personally interested in is using bluetooth from my phone to allow unlimited surfing from my laptop. I've read that Verizon (my current provider) has removed this capability from phones that should support it. Is anyone doing this? What provider/phone are you using?

No kidding. 600mW!

I just deployed about 30 USB EV-DO modems with laptops using Sprint's service. Speeds are nice, latency is a bit high. Due to my area (Silicon Valley), coverage is not typical of other areas. There isn't a dead zone for 40 miles.

If you're up for it, I would be interested in seeing a list of your components.

...and how much on tape?

If it's a wired router that acts as a wireless access point, no. If you want to do fun things like repeat wireless signals, or have 2 wireless zones (secure and insecure) than you need two.

I tried a whole new hard drive, still no joy. Unfortunatly, play time is up on this box; they'll be getting Vista.

I heard that it was available in Macs now, and just did some reading as well. Looks very cool. The only issue I see is that you need a whole lot of drives to make some of the higher-end features practical.

It seems that this was the biggest accomplishment of SATA power connectors. After them, even Molex is acceptable.

Interesting. I've done something similar with the VIA Eden ITX boards and USB WiFi. Be sure to keep us up to speed on the project.

I tried a retail disk and 2 copies of the ISO downloaded from MSDN. I'll try TinyXP when I get home.

The bulb on my Sharp XR-20X projector burned out at only 50% of it's rated life (~1100 hours). I suspect it got moved around more than was good for it (a few special events). I found a replacement at officeworld.com for ~$340 with free shipping. Ordered it at lunch 2 days ago and it arrived...

I also prefer 4:3 displays. The thing I do most often with my computer is read columns of text. This will always be easier with more vertical screen space, horizontal space makes very little difference. Also, consider word processing/other office applications. The menu and toolbars are on the...

Interesting. This machine will not load XP Pro onto a completely formatted HDD, but Vista and Ubuntu 7.04 both load fine and operate without any issues. Anyone experienced this before? XP Pro gives the same error as before: "An error has been encountered that prevents Setup from continuing...
