She was an OB/GYN in Moscow. Until she passes the tests here she is a medical assistant (part time) for a small boutique practice that doesn't offer coverage.

Actually, I was the last to be loose with the looser spelling...

;)

"OP" is "original poster", so yep...that would be you.

I'd assume that it's due to the massive potential security issues hosting on Windows. All the services I've seen require a layer of UI between you and the system. The only exception is when you rent a whole server.

I guess that would depend on what you want it to do. I use a buddy's godaddy hosting service at www.downdoggy.com.

I'm running it, and it's very stable...but it's fan speed reporting is a bit off...

I was really tired last night, and I was sure I knew what the OP said. Now, after 6 hours of sleep, I'm not so sure. I think Merc and Will got it right....sweet.

I was just talking to the girl about health coverage; as one of the things she will lose along with her husband is insurance. The quote she received to continue her current coverage is $500/mo. It seems that you either have useless insurance for piece of mind (like Merc) that doesn't kick in...

12 SATA ports is a bit much for me. With 750GB drives, 5-7TB would be enough. I agree that a low-powered CPU would be lovely, my 65W CPU makes me happy.

Marketplace, Car Talk, and Fresh Air are not available via podcast. I just got Wait Wait and Motley Fool. OTM is good; I'll have to look into it. TAL is a mixed bag for me; sometimes I can handle the reality, sometime I have enough already. Car Talk uses Audible, and charges. Fresh Air has...

64-bit windows is still more hasstle than it's worth. For the record, there is no way to get even the latest (released a few weeks ago) version of Act to run on anything 64-bit. I ended up running it in a VM. My sound drivers wouldn't run, neither would the Azalia drivers for my onboard sound...

I loved my P160, then I got a P180 and liked that even more. I'm currently using a P150 as a chair (one of a half-dozen I bought this week). And my new PS is in an Aria (SFF) chassis that has become awesome after some severe modding. There are QC issues, but their engineers certainly have the...

That would be why I asked. I most certainly don't want iTunes anywhere near my precious machine. But 3rd party tools are available. Right now I'm trying out one called iPodder that seems to do most of what I need.

Just bought the first album of a new band from SF called Honeycut. Not really the style of others here; but I really enjoy it, and I think the production is brilliant. I've been reading a book called "This is your brain on music"; and this band works all the right emotional angles in their songs.

Yep, hers is good for 10 years...yay. I didn't think it would be that big an issue, considering her divorce would likely take a year or so, and by then we would have a good idea whether it was going to work or not.

Nope, I'm on El Camino Real a few blocks from Stanford; practically between Stanford University and downtown Palo Alto. Very nice neighborhood. I actually saw a Mercedes SL55 AMG loose a drag race last week (to a Ferrari 550 Maranello) about a block from here.

If you give the host OS a static IP that is outside everything used by your company, it shouldn't show up anywhere. Or you could uninstall the TCP/IP stack from the host OS...

Thanks for the info Pradeep. I'm pretty sure she doesn't know the conditions, but I suspect they are there. Her husband is here on an EB-2 if that makes a difference. If that were a certainty, this wouldn't be a concern. But it's not, and I don't want anyone dependent on me for any reason, so...

750s are reasonable, in a $/GB kind of way. Not that much of a premium over the 500s.

I was thinking the same thing, but I do have a Makita 14.4v that I use for building computers...

Things are settling for now. Just got my new place, going to be buying furniture as income allows, establishing my new "work from home"/"brutal commute" schedule. This place is really affordable ($700/mo in Palo Alto is amazing) so that should help me from worrying about my tenuous employment...

I'm now commuting between 2 NPR affiliates that use different programming schedules. Most of the shows I'm interested in are available as a podcast. I want my system to automatically get these as MP3 so I can burn them to disk or whatever. Does anyone have experience with this?

Foxmarks works with 2.0, but it doesn't do extensions.

Not entirely solo...but more independent than before. My earlier inquiry into needing a divorce attorney with immigration experience speaks to this.

Yay! My move to the new, new place is taking place. Second move in as many weeks. I plan on being here for a while; it's nice to be back on the peninsula again. 20 minutes from San Francisco, 5 from Stanford, and waking distance to nice restaurants. It's 2AM and I've been sleeping in my car the...

:geek: Actually, I was 11 in 1991. But we were poor, so I got a 286 when I was 14. I had a 386-33 until 1996, a Pentium 133 until 2000, when I bought a Celeron 300A. It's one of the reasons I go high-end now...because I can.

From my memory, I seem to recall boards of that age using black boxes attached to the board with Velcro. IIRC, it was a AA-sized Ni Cad in the black box.

I had this happen with a number of video cards. Putting something else in during the install, then swapping after the updates worked fine.

I have this one and really like it. I got it at a local office supply store for around $400

;)

Ugh...the gy next to me won't stop trying o convince me that global warming is "a bunch of hooey". This is so annoying.

"Product currently unavailable" :( Shame, I could use about 6 more. Merc probably bought them all :-P Still, this is the first sign of them becoming more affordable. I'll probably hold off buying more big'uns until the 1TB drives ship.

...but they make the smallest USB thumbdrive I've ever seen! My pinky above the first knuckle covers it completely! 1GB! How cool is that! Who needs a computer business, anyway?

Battlefield 2142 is the essence of suck. Not only is there in-game advertising. Not only does it retail for $70 anyway. But your CD-Key is mapped to a single account. No more having multiple accounts, or having a friend create an account for when he's at your place. $70 buys you one account and...

...and if Tea had tried a bit harder, she would have seen that the link I posted will change the browser's behavior 4 different ways without any additional downloads, extensions, or anything else.

I'm actually guessing it was an original LanBoy...let's see if I can find a good picture: Ahh...here it is: And yes, it is IMHO the worst case they ever made. I was able to swap the PSU without removing the MoBo, however. IIRC it slides forward, so removing the optical maked it easier.

I saw a great bumper sticker at Stanford yesterday: Militant Agnostic: I don't know and neither do you.

Yep. Quite a few times actually. Which version of the driver are you using? Are you 64-bit?

Merc, Here is the fix to your tab-closing woes

"HDA XPLOSION 7.1 Audio Device" is selected and is the only option. DXDiag shows card detected and audio accelleration at full. Changing acceleration level has no change.

Yep. Analog, 2-channel.

You might actually be better in Phuket, Thiland...scary as that is...

Should read: "of course, I will be commuting" :(

Yay! I'm moving again! I will be leaving Salinas and moving to Palo Alto on the 1st of next month. This will put me within walking distance of some of my dancing hangouts and a nice Margarita bar. Of course, I'll not be commuting south on 101 about 70 miles for work, but at least I'm awake for...

I've finished the build for my new rig. Details on the spec follow: Antec Aria SFF Chassis w/300W PS Gigabyte 6100 AM2 Mobo A64 4200+ (65W low-power version) 2GB DDR2-800 RAM 2x 750GB Seagate SATA HDDs AzuenTech X-Plosion Soundcard I'm getting no sound. I've installed Server 2003 x64 R2 on...

I'll second Handy on this one. Even when I was at my most promiscuous, and drunkest, at a sorority house, I still new better...

Hittin' up the hippo with IE... It's kinda like having unprotected sex with a really ugly stanger at a frat party...

:-P Meh, the FTP site is swamped anyway. So here I am on my new machine still using IE (64-bit(!)) because I want FF2.0 and can't get it :(

I'm sorry, it wasn't wrapped in a pretty HTML interface and linked directly from the homepage; nor was it on a google search. Thanks.
