But I am doing local processing. AFAIK, no thin client can do what I mention above.

999.....goodnight :mrgrn:

My sister had been bi for many years, she is getting married in July to a guy I was originally introduced to as being gay. Other than the really awesome Haloween parties, they are (now) quite "normal" in their behavior.

I have a beagle running around called zipper that has a more permanant fix; he just chews though the wire and shorts it with his teeth. I think he likes it...kinda reminds me of "Terminal Man"...

I was able to hold out this long for more info, but I just gave newegg $2k+...I hope this stuff works ;)

I've been a contractor/consultant for quite a few years, never really taken a "sick day". I've had days where I do everything by RDC and cellphone from bed, but a day without work has always been a day without pay. Congrats on the TV, BTW.

If the terminals had high-end 3D accelerator cards and were capable of driving triple-head video solutions that could stream MP3s while playing games and encoding DVDs....yes, that would be fine.

Wow, not a single one of those cards are under $1100 :o I'm not that adventurous...

I've already gone pretty crazy with the noise reduction, but my house is insanely quiet. My bedroom system currently runs 2 120mm fans @ 5v, and is too loud for me to sleep with it running. I'm at the point where getting any quieter will require the elimination of moving parts, and the thought...

Soundstorm is the only onboard audio solution that I know of that doesn't suck. It was on my ASUS A7N8X Dlx boards, and it was a good thing.

I'm still really interested in iSCSI and somewhat interested in Fibre-channel. Mainly as these work better with high-capacity SATA drives, and (with iSCSI) the cabling can be longer and is cheaper.

FYI: LVD SCSI has a 12m max length, but using one of these ($60) will double that, 70+ feet would work for most installations. I'm having a hard time finding 12m cables, though. I'm just curious on pricing.

Even though this implementation may only be 1 or 2 machines (totally do-able with SCSI), I like to use my home as a lab for testing technology before I stick it in the field. From what I've read, iSCSI has the ability to mount bootable volumes via a switched ethernet network? Is this correct?

And the very fact that he wants a 47" HDTV means his job isn't his life.

Back now. My home server BSODed overnight....these dyndns clients aren't all that stabls :(

Yeah, it is open-ended. Mainly becuase I don't know exactly what I'm up to. But let's start with my home configuration and see where we go from there. I'm planning on building a very powerful 0dB machine. Using the very low power (35W) Athlon64 2800+ and undervolting it. I also have a...

I like tinkering with different technologies. Sometimes I even convince some of my more adventurous clients to take the plunge and check them out. My latest obsession has been in getting hard drives out of workstations/clients and consolidated into something fast and redundant. Like most...

Well, the poll wasn't specific....

Figured this was a fine place to put this. This was gotten from my GF's bedroom in the hills over San Jose. No special antennas, just the laptop's built-in WiFi.[/img]

What if I wear pantyhose, but still want Pradeep to enjoy his new toy?

Just last night I was driving away from Dave and Busters in the Great Mall in Milpitas (near San Jose) when there was a really nasty one of these in front of me. The offender was in a Dodge Neon while the enforcer was in a Durango (SUV). At least 4 other cars were involved (the roads are 4...

This is something I'm interested in. Anyone have luck finding quality media in good quantity at good prices?

Holy cow! Thanks for the link Jan, I'm just on page 7 so far...but it isn't looking too good. I may just do it anyway and see...wtf.

So that would be a no? Oh, well. I'm ordering 3 of them right now...

LOL. I have that T-shirt ;)

They do. but you need to have the ISO created for it to work. I ended up making this massive series of scripts that: 1. Copied the data to a single (local) folder 2. Compressed the data into a RAR file 3. Verified the RAR against the folder 4. Deleted the local folder (optional - saves space)...

Ugh...that's not low-fat :P

oooh......16MB buffer...drool ;) Can't wait to read the review.

Great post, good humor ;) everything looks right to the best of my knowledge except for the AGP Pro stuff. IIRC, the short of it is that it provides additional power to pro level cards, while being the same as 8x in all other respects. It kind of has died now that cards are just taking their...

Yup. I like wildlife as well. I occasionally have deer run past the store, heading between the Defense Langage Institute (DLI) and the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS). Both have large forrested areas, and my store is in between.

Why so worried? It's fairly clear that the issue is due to the drive not operating in DMA mode. That drive should be capable of "Ultra DMA Mode 5" or similar. The first thing I would suspect is a cable issue, then a BIOS issue, than an OS issue. I really doubt the drive is at fault.

I'm looking very closely at a 35W A64 2700+ (1.2V stock) and a GIGABYTE GA-K8VT800M motherboard. I read on SPCR about some compatibility issues, but no specific list of what works and what doesn't. I did a search of the (rather extensive) forums there and came up dry. Does anyone here know of a...

me, too :wink: I think I can take my time...

Yeah, I'm still getting the things running smoothly. I just jury-rigged it for last night, as that was one of my first nights off. The guy with the wavy hair works for me.

After you get connected, just enable MAC filtering....IMO all the other security is fairly easily crackable.

It sounds like you have everyhing set up correctly, but just in case I'd reset it do default everything...than everyone can connect.

Are those any good? They look as cheezy as some of the newer creative / altec lansing stuff....

This one has the specs to beat the lot....any comments?

:mrgrn: It may weigh 50 lbs, but it does have 2 handles...

Thanks guys. To be honest, I didn't think anything smaller than the elph existed...I learn so much from you guys.... OT: I just ordered a pair of these: Antec 3U Rackmount Chasis with EPS-12V Power Supply Tyan Thunder K8S Pro Motherboard (Part # S2882G3NR) 2x AMD Opteron 246 CPUs 4x 1GB PC3200...

...like really small. My GF needs a "really small" digital camera. I asked if a pack of cigarettes would be ok, and she implied that that would be on the large side. For reference, I used to smoke Nat Shermans (smaller case than normal). So she needs a really small camera and would like an...

Heh, I think I'll just stick with 0.8 for now... Uh, oh....just today I told a client to "go download firefox" to "resolve all your issues"....I think I'll be getting a call tomorrow :(

Wow, thanks for the comments! Jan: This video card uses a much smaller version of that cooler. The 2 passive "blocks" are only a few inches a piece and connected by a heatpipe. Big image available here. I think this would fit. :-? I read the review you linked to, it seemed to me more...

It's been nearly 3 years since I built her current system, and it's beginning to look a bit drab. She's plays games everyday, and is taking an intern job at a law firm. As a graduation/birthday gift, I've decided to get her a new system. She has a condo in Santa Cruz, but will be spending...

Sorry, didn't really pay attention to it being an MSI board. Mainly it was the chipset being 250Gb, rather than 150. IIRC, the 250Gb has chipset integrated GbE, wher4e the board you are looking at has PCI-attached GbE. Also, the sound is supposed to be better on the 250 boards. Not sure about...

With the nFOrce3-250Gb chipsets shipping now, I wouldn't get anything else. Random link

I've been installing firefox on everyone's PCs and removing any visible links to IE. Just tell them to use the new Icon.

oh, and 1.544/1.544 for $600 :mrgrn:

3/512 for $40
