I can step in and confirm DVI + TV.

Yes Time, that looks like it would do it. But I have to admit, I've had nothing but problems with all the appliance routers I've used. They seem to all need a reset every few months or to have their values re-entered to ot have the VPN reset. I'm really sold on the smoothwall way of doing...

WinSCP - Brilliant. That made it so easy. It's up, running, and so powerfull I can't believe it.

Kind of. This is a network that includes 5 locations. 3 of them have T-1s one is DSL, one is Cable, and the last has 2 ISDN lines. I'm using the VPN capabilities and they are fantastic. Considering that Fry's is selling new computers with a XP Pro licence for $300, I turn them into smoothwalls...

I have to agree that it's simply amazing how much more a person thinks they're getting when you cut back on the PC and upgrate the I/O equipment. I recently built a system for a home user and cut the CPU, RAM, HDD, and video way back to upgrade from a 17" CRT monitor to a 20" LCD and from the...

Wow. So I was told that the Total Firewall Control mod would do what I need. I've downloaded the .tgz file, installed cygwin with ssh and sftp, and even managed to connect to the smoothwall via ssh and sftp. Now all I need to do is transfer the file to the /tmp folder on the smoothie...how do I...

Seconded. Supermicro? ECC? What on earth for?

I have a copy of ghost 2002 that works well from CD. I don't know if that was the last one or not. I now have a copy of Acronis Trueimage coming in the mail.

At the time they only had the square one, so whichever that is. They're also using the original Zalman "flower" heatsinks and 2500+ Barton cores. A very reliable setup.

It had been laying on it's largest side, but it's smart temp was getting a little high. The options were either to get a fan, connect it, and aim it towards the drive; or increase it's exposed surface area. To be honest the entire system was without case; the MB, PSU, and HDDs all sitting on...

I have at least a dozen NF7-S boards out there with Zalman passive NB coolers on them. I made the swap before the board was every even powered on. These systems have been in the field at least 2 years (many as servers 24/7) and not had a single issue.

Nope, don't even have the game installed anymore. Everyone is playing COD:UO, LOtR:BFME,and WOW. Every once in a while a game of CNCG:ZH or Desert Combat...that's about it.

I woke up last night to a most disquieting sound; I instantly knew what it was. A new 7200.8 400GB SATA drive had just fallen from it's second-largest side to it's largest side while doing a full drive copy. As I lay there in the dark I strained to hear the sound of the motor - nothing. It had...

I'm running smoothwall express 2.0 at a client site and need to block all outgoing traffic on port 25 EXCEPT that coming from a specific internal IP (our mail server). Someone somewhere has a virus and I keep ending up on the CBL. Thanks.

Yes, it ended fairly well. I gave up on them and started looking after myself; a much easier thing to do. They finally show up around 7AM with some most questionable women and I'm long since sleeping in another room and in much better shape for golf at the Legacy the following day.

Frustration reigns. On the drive here all the guys could talk about was getting laid. When they showed no signs of leaving the blackjack table I , in a massive breach of character and severe nervousnes, went to the top club in the area (curve) and managed to secure 6 women for the night and...

I doubled my money at the tables but struck out at the bars...predictable. We'll see how tomorrow goes. We have a 2000+ sq. ft. suite overlooking the strip, would be a shame to waste this view on just me. Wasted....ttyl.

I've not been doing so well lately; perhaps a trip to Las Vegas, NV will turn my head around. Leaving tomorrow morning at 9AM, driving a Porsche Cayenne Turbo the 7 hours it'll take. Funny, I just had my last arrest warrant cleared 2 days ago...it was from a Vegas trip in 2000... See ya'll in...

At one point early in my IT life a company I supported used roaming profiles for users who worked both from their workstation and via our terminal server. The points I remember are: 1. Size. They got so big (including PST files or documents) that transferring them over our VPN was a nightmare...

Things aren't going well for me lately, I'll be back later.

$200 plus shipping work for you?

I got the Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 and 2x1024 of Geil (the "dual channel" kit). I'm using a Scythe NCU-2000 completely fanless in open air and it's running 15C above ambient at 2.1Ghz. However, one of the temp sensors (I think the NB) is at 70C with a Nexus 120@12v blowing right on it. Any guesses on...

I'm putting a Gigabyte 6800 fanless on the market starting now... Newegg is selling it for $264 yours for $200 plus shipping. Believe me, this will go a long way towards a gaming machine ;)

Well I just upgraded to an nForce4 and a 3200+ Winchester with 2GB of Geil PC3200...we'll see what kind of O/Cing I can get out of it. The only bummer is that my Gigabyte 6800 Faness AGP card is now for sale cheap...any takers? I would be most interestred in an exchange for a PCIe card if...

The things I want to discuss here are all realted to DVD encoding. 1. Settings I've found that using AutoGK to encode to Xvid with a final size of 2GB gives video quality indistinguishable from the original, does anyone have an opinion on this? Here are the settings I use: Xvid Codec AC3 6CH...

Close enough, I read right past it.

That's the one. Maybe I'll give it a second chance. But it was darn slow with the ADS enclosure I was using.

I had a bad experience with the Linksys model, it would only read my USB drives at USB1.0, but this looks quite promising.

Interesting. The ATI solution looks quite nice. Can someone tell me exactly what else I would need to fulfil the DVD decoder req. for MCE2005?

I'm encountered this as well, what a mess. I wonder if the Omega Driver has these glitches worked out.

nice.

Glad to hear it wasn't a complete financial disaster Merc, that's just one more reason I'll hapilly move into my new apartment next week.

Well my 14-hour day turned into a 20-hour workday out of 24-consecutive waking hours. I now have 2 hours to sleep before Monday starts...this is going to hurt. Moving for any reason in particular Merc? New city or just new digs?

I've had 2 consecutive shifts call in sick at the game center...I know what I'll be doing for the next 14 hours :roll:

I just installed one yesterday that spec'd a specific intel motherboard (chipset with onboard video). What a POS. If they're doing on-the-fly video compression, they might want lots of CPU power. And if they're doing that, large throughput isn't that important. But if they are compressing, I...

I've got it running now, looks really sweet. Only trick is not it specifically states IE only. Before you could get it to run on Firefox with a bit of tweaking.

That's as relevant as the processor in my 4-function calculator being 128-bit. It doesn't matter a bit as it doesn't do anything I'm interested in.

At least they don't tax you on all those extra u's you throw around... PUI :wink:

I'm currently using Gigabyte's fanless 6800. It works quite well, but I did have to install an additional Nexus 120mm fan @ 5V to keep it under control in my extremely quiet/low airflow case during heavy gaming.

That's the problem in living ina country as large as the US; millions can feel a certain way about an issue, and still represent a small minority. In a system such as this, if you are in the majority, great. If you aren't in the majority, trying to stop the flood/freight train/other unstoppable...

As of today, there's no place I'd rather live than central California. However, I wouldn't be suprised if the situation changes within the next decade. Based primarily on the infringement of personal rights, excessive taxation, and subsequent misallocation of same; I'm thinking the values of...

Slipping indeed. I'm also at about 25% of my past income. Fortunatly, those dependant on me left shortly after the money. A funny statistic; the last doctor I have on record has been dead 7 years now...

Eh, once Northern California separates from the rest it'll be a worthy place to live.

So removing her feeding tube is taking something else? I may not be a sponge, but posts with Would have a better chance of informing me.

If I were to go to Canada, it would definatly be Vancouver. Last time I was there I had a great time, but anyone who doesn't call it cold is crazy. I recently got an offer in Cape Town, that's tempting.

Why Canada? I don't disagree in the least that the US is going to be a place I don't want to live within the decade, but Canada? I'm thinking Australia, New Zeland, Spain, even England, but Canada is far too cold for my liking.

From the analysis I've read, most of her brain has attrophied years ago due to lack of activity, so anything approaching normal is completely out of the picture. As one of the PhDs on NPR said "Wouldn't it be worse if she was partially conscious?" I'd go after the parents for neglect.

I have 3 Samsung 191Ts that don't experience this problem. Because I have 3 screens, the same applications stay up in he same positions for a long time; and none of the screens go to sleep if I'm working on one of them. A quick check of autohiding the start bar and minimizing outlook, winamp and...

Now that was back up to snuff. An excellent read straight through.

Yay! Or not... Not entirely the connector's fault though, I partially blame nVidia for putting the SATA connectors right in the middle of the board between the CPU, AGP and DIMM slots. I'm having a hard time thinking of a worse location. I could blame that design problem on ASUS, but it seems...
