I just spec'd a Dell dual XEON 3.06 w/2GB RAM and 2x36GB 10k drives.... $4,600+, no OS...just the box. I agree that for many people Dell's support makes it worthwhile...but I sure ain't one of 'em...

Yup, that's where Dell makes their money. They don't care about selling thousands of low-end/older designs at break-even or lower, so long as it wins them customers for the high-end/server market.

But then you need to mention the #1 windows app, the "everyone knows how to use it and compatibility is guaranteed" app. Linux won't have that one for a LONG time...

AAAGGGHHHHH! It's Adobe! https://www.printme.com/support/adobe/index.html Those BASTARDS! They couldn't get enough bloat in their single application, so they tacked on some more!

While here in the northern-US, it's getting dark around 4PM :(

I take it you have an epson inkjet printer? It showed up when I installed the driver.

If you can get to the Bend River Brewery (Bend, Oregon) they have an Obsidian Black Ale that they serve on nitrogen (instead of CO2) very rich, very hearty and (thanks to the nitrogen) very, very smooth. Just the right beverage for a more bland food (one that is driving my mad with...

Pigs in a blanket (which I haven't had for ages, and am now craving) go best with...beer. Haven't tried it myself, but my friend assues me it works... Nothing for me, got the flu...Vicadin is my friend... :mrgrn:

Wow, e-machines on the 64-bit bandwagon....that's pretty amazing.

No kidding, I've been trying to figure out this one for a long time....still no luck :(

It runs fine on a 32/33, it just hangs off a little. It has native support for 64/33 but works fine @ 32/33.

LOL. Well, I've given up. I just opened up the case...I can't up the RAM as I don't keep SIMMS in stock. I just upgraded it to 98SE...and told him if to call me when he wants to buy a new one.

My playlist is at 6669 items (21 days, 10 hours, 25 minutes, 43 seconds) I somehow feel complete. I can stop ripping for now. I'd switch to a losless codec, but transcoding all this (30GB+) would be a massive undertaking. Besides, 256-384 VBR isn't so bad....

LOL. Well, the AWOL was from pure forgetfulness....and the alcohol is still here, and my post count is...quite pathetic... :( Oh well

OK, that post was just horrible....here is the better version: Same with my GF, she plays a game called "hero-clix" or something similar...and can identify even the more obscure characters on sight. In addition to being able to identify their powers and affiliation.

Grr...the system won't boot from CD, and I'm too lazy to go get a floppy and a floppy drive.....neermind.

I have a whole box of "compu-surplus" t-shirts....they were advertising a free shirt with $100 purchanse, and I bought about $10,000 worth of stuff (used 4-way Proliants) and one of the boxes was full of these damn shirts...

Yes, though fedex overnight is a pretty reliable method as well...

Or include a new controller as part of the upgrade...PCI-X is going to be around for some time to come IMO....

Not true, as you state further down... I completely agree, and never said that this wasn't the case. What I did say was that WindowsXP on my machine is fast enough (due to serious hardware) that I never need to wait for it. (in other words, a quick system). For grinns, I just happen to have...

LOL, that's the best one in some time...thoguh it would have been better if the speakers were connected to the card.

Indeed, considering that the likelyhood of recieving lightbulb peices is much higher when dealing with federal employees..... though technically, the place I deal with is a "branch" of the post office...the forms I filled out were distinctly for a PO box.

Well, XP is pretty darn quick IMHO. Especially with modern hardware. I haven't had to wait for anything since my last reboot...

Well, be sure to scan and post it before wiping your ass with it. My old roomate still has his expulsion letter from Harvard, refrencing the "whipped cream incident". That was fun :lol:

I've found some funds and am considering the same thing. Take a look at the "64-bit" thread....

I have an account with the service that handles my box, they cut money orders on the spot and I pay in cash when I pick up the package. Quite handy, considering the complete anonymity of the whole thing.

Yeah, I know the 64-bit aspect of it is pretty useless at this point (as was a 386's 32-bit capability) for these kinds of tasks. But from what I've seen, it's pretty darn fast @ 32-bit as well. And I do enjoy playing :D Thanks I'll have to check that out.

The first system I ever got to play on regularly was a 386/33...It was the one computer in an office of 12 accountants, and all it did was print form letters... I'd imagine all the work those 12 were doing is being done by one guy with a P90 right now.....

Yeah, but a single opteron system with a single gig of RAM can be had for $1500. That's not bad at all.

Yes, that's the word. Sorry, I was a bottle in... I'll post the spreadsheet when I get a but further on it. Mainly I'm just taking the top level feats that I like to have and looking at how best to accomplish them.

Jeez, that's cool :D

LOL! (not kidding) :mrgrn: All I know is this: Dr. Martens for comfort, Armani for style, Costco Tennis Shoes for leisure. Own a couple of each and you're set ;)

Yeah, a semi-geeky girl is a hard enough find...but one who is obsessed with something as (insert apropriate verb here - need help) as storage is nigh-impossible. I am however currently creating a massive spreadsheet that represents the dependancies of feats in NWN so I can beat one of my GF's...

Not an archive, that would imply that all old threads were there...how about a "hall of fame" forum? You can't post to it, but certain threads are moved there if deemed worthy (by voting?)

(prices from newegg) AMD Opteron 140, 1MB L2 Cache (1.4GHz) - $175 AMD Athlon64 3000+, 512KB L2 Cache (2Ghz) - $219 AMD Opteron 142, 1MB L2 Cache (1.6GHz) - $222 AMD Opteron 144, 1MB L2 Cache (1.8GHz) - $270 From what I know, these are the only "entry level" 64-bit CPUs out there. I'd...

True enough, the whole row in front of me was crying for the last 45 minutes. But they were on shrooms at the time.... At least they gave me enough time to "dry up" before rolling credits ;)

Yes, those pictures are absolutely stunning. Post many more like that and you'll have sold another plane ticket to Austrailia.

No CC is not the ideal, but for more major purchases, I do have a company AMEX I can use. But for stuff like this, I'm not up for the hassle. I've found quite a few vendors that still do COD to my PO box.

Perhaps there are more females than you'd think...just none who decide to identify themseles as such. (not me, I'm here.) I can assure you this isn't true. ;)

Out of curiosity, any guess on the CRI of the CFLs @ home depot? Those are the only ones I have and I'd like a benchmark (comparing to the T-12s @ 84 you mentioned). Online ordering is not an option currently as I am without credit card (or any other location-aware ID....long story)

no kidding. if that was pure digital zoom, I gotta get one of those cameras.....

Have I grown so jaded and sheltered that "world music" sounds straight cheezy?

JTR, That's a great article. Just curious, does Home Depot also carry "daylight" rated T-8s? Any particular brand you would reccomend? I plan on playing with this "overdrive" thing for a new light to go over my workbench (I've found the higher color temp keeps me more awake ;)).

Very much an LOL and hearty congratulations. Just got back from RotK, it rocked. I did like my friend's comment, though: "How are they going to extend that?"

Where is the review on that, anyway? This is a function I've been dying for...

Well, Jojo wins over a close dissapearance of Tea.....I can't believe I made the list :o whoo!

Well, I for one am pretty stoked about 5. The "most played" and "recently played" will help my usage a lot. Quite often I just want to hear what I normally like, though I occasionally enjoy picking through the more obscure stuff.

Nope, no breathalizer. And it's a private course, with significant spacing between parties. It's a rare thing when you see anyone else. Though I have totaled a few golf carts in my youth. My friend has his own cart that he keeps in his own garage at the course, this garage includes a minibar...

Well, I'm not sure where you are now....but if can make it down, it'd be fun to get my ass kicked ;) RE: the drive: after the $100 inspection fee, they said it would cost an additional $1,000 to get the data back. The company backed out. Looks like they'll be doing end-of-year by hand this time...
