The only USB peripheral connected to the Z68 motherboard was a keyboard. It wasn't due to a many-cards-reader or a USB hub integrated in the monitor or anything else. I think the motherboard will do that no matter what's plug into the machine.

It did not want to connect on the laptop from another computer. Whatever, I bought a used combo drive for 5$ and I disconnected all the ribbon cables inside. Won't work for sure. Does not even open anymore. Hole filled, customer happy.

For a guy with carpal tunnet syndrome, you do write a lot. Do you use speach recognition software or you just enjoy the pain of using the keyboard?

Actually, the Earth itself (the core) is cooling, slowly but surely. Only the surface is getting hotter.

I've only seen this on GigaByte boards. That's three boards with three different chipsets (H55, Z68 and AMD 990FX). I don't know why they do it, but it's annoying. Asus boards don't do that and they work fine anyway.

Here's a review of USB 3 controllers if you want to know how they fare against each others. Last week, I had to replace an MSI motherboard I sold two years ago, which had no less than five blown capacitors on it. Sure, it was a low-end offering, but I still consider it unacceptable. I have...

Thanks Merc for trying. This means I would potentially be in trouble if I try to put it on a non-worstation board. Good to know.

I could build one and send it by ship. You should receive it by Christmas.

Why do retards on auction sites always ask "What's your best price?" when the selling price is already shown? Why do they think I ask the price they see if it's not the one I want? And anyway, what makes them think that my best price, if I had one, was for an half-ass I've never met who...

The evil empire's emperor has resigned

It's funny to watch the agitated kid arguing to defend a group he's almost certainly not and probably never will be part of.

Reinstalling with a generic OEM disc on an OEM box (Dell, Acer, etc) is not a problem because in that case, the key on the sticker might have never been activated before. So it's like a brand new installation to MS' eyes. However, reinstalling with the same key, but after a hardware change...

Re-reading my post, I realize I may sound cynical. My goal was not to critique but to explain. Sorry if it felt offensive.

I'm just posting to tell you why there's no reply to that thread. There cannot be a discussion over a subject on which everyone agrees. I would not expect a reply if I posted a thread with a title like "Hey, guess what? Earth's round!" Likewise, everyone here knows that Apple IS an evil...

Whatever she wants??? I need no woman's permission to drink what I want to drink.

You will die after 3 days, unless you are allowed to drink water too (or some other beverage). On a stakeout? Still on a medical side, I worry what will happen to me if I keep sleeping no more than 3 hours per nights. Too many things to think about and I'm unable to clear my mind. Around...

I ended up with 39% due to revenue increases and 61% for reduced expenses. The militaries took a heavy hit, as did the rich bastards.

And what would you use to share the folders by FTP? Filezilla Server? I hope so, because I need this badly.

With a Server 2008 system, a CAD-oriented workstation, two standard office computers, all with monitors and input devices, a laptop capable of doing basic CAD, the UPS, MS Office licenses, backup external hard drive and surge protectors, I'm about to ask them ~7130$. That's without my time...

If I compare his economic resume to yours, I'd say that you're in no position to make a judgement like you did.

They drew first blood, not me...

The key is supposed to be linked to the motherboard, isn't it? The last thing I would tell Microsoft would be that a new motherboard has been installed.

How about the Cisco routers? Not the Linksys made by Cisco, the real freaking Cisco routers. Are they any better? I was considering getting one and to start installing them to some customers.

Thanks, I would appreciate.

I think he only needs to access files and he'll use a wideband wireless connection (typically low bandwidth). VPN will be heavy and slow. An FTP server should be enough (and faster).

Is there a data amount restriction with LogMeIn? Like : can't share more than 100MB or can't transfer more than 200MB a month?

I've used this once or twice some five years ago : http://www.no-ip.com/services/managed_dns/free_dynamic_dns.html Could it be a good solution for the laptop outside of the office?

Since I use Western Digital and Seagate hardrives in my computers, I thought I could use Acronis for backing up stuff to a non-Server 2008, plain Win 7 Pro box with shared folders. Then backing the shared folders to an external drive. Once the tasks would be configured, it would be very simple...

For a small office with only 3 computers, but plans to add a few others, would you setup a central server with Server 2008 or just keep separated Win 7 Pro installations on each computers and not bother with running a server? The users are standard office workers without technical knowledge...

Can you confirm that the SandyBridge Xeon will work on regular LGA1155 boards? Any of your students built a box using one?

He messed with your car? Oh, the son of a biche!

A trip to Antarctica is quite expensive. You must be filty rich. If you really are dying, remember how much of a good guy I am :mrgrn:

Washington, combined with Baltimore, is one of the three biggest metropolitain areas in the States. Why so many people live there if it's so unbearable during summer?

You've been to Antarctica? Working for National Geographic or something?

Sorry, no bike for you. You can't drink and drive. Only commute and walk for you. No excuses. Can't drive while being drunk, period. Keep the roads safe and you out of it.

Yeah, you freeze and die faster so you suffer less.

I have Windows XP installation disks with SLP keys, but I think they are only in French. I might have one in English, but I'm not at the office right now so I can't say for sure. There are guides on the Net on how to make them. I did them several years ago and I no longer remember exactly how...

Flagstaff is cooler because of its altitude?

The OEM license will activate on any other computer. By default, the license on the sticker isn't the one that's been used on the installation that came with the PC. Compaq, like most other major OEM, uses a general SLP key on all their machines. If you've installed and activated the one on...

I've seen RealVNC on several computers, but I've never taken time to play with it. If you want to share the content of a folder in, let say, your home computer, but access it from a different building or from your office, would that be the way to go?

They advertised 1080p and doesn't do it? You should piss on it and let it dry before returning it. False advertisement makes me sick.

He must have thought about my incontinent cow...

THD not specified : looks suspicious. Usually, when it's good, they yell it loud enough to make you deaf. Unspecified usually means uninspiring, poor or abysmal.

Yes, as I wrote correctly in my previous post. I tried to correct it the first time, but I figured the mistake about 30 seconds too late to edit my post. Still is. UPS, bunch of overpaid, non-deserving shit eaters. Their lives have a lesser value than the bottom of an incontinent cow's...

I see option to prevent remote users to connect to the optical drive, but no option to limit access from a local user. Removing cdrom.sys from Windows\system32\drivers\ does not prevent Windows from reinstalling the driver at the following reboot. No ribbon cable there. The optical drive is...

I need to block the use of an optical drive on a Thinkpad T60. The drive must not be broken physically. I see nothing in the BIOS to deactivate it. Simply deactivating it in the Device Manager is not enough as the user could be wise enough to look there. I must leave the account with...

There, shorter, more accurate version.

Compare it to the size of the HEC 98R9 and you'll see it's ridiculous. Thicker, similar depth and ~25cm higher. I never said the PC-P80 was ok either. But at least it fits below most desks, something that isn't true for the PC-X2000F. The only thing I wrote about the PC-P80 was that it looks...

You forgot the last line : "Seeing the face of the customer when you charged him all the labor needed so he understand what an error it was to buy an Apple computer : priceless"

I wouldn't want that ScottFoil even if it was given to me. That bike is unusable : there's no pedals!
