Has anyone found a valid reason to install it yet?

Wonderful thread, Vlad. You forgot to mention that many executives fall into the type 2 (ii) category. As do all partners in accounting firms (something to remember if you read this, James). I can't see my chief nemesis here, so I'd like to introduce: Type 9: The Whiner Whiners are either...

Computer leases are a mug's game, yet there seems to be no shortage of punters eager to boost financial institution profits. Leases only really make sense where the goods retain some sort of value over a lengthy period. Clearly, that is not the case with computer hardware (or even more...

Ah yes, Anandtech, exactly so. I was struggling to remember. I started visiting it in 1998, but didn't bother with the forums. I honestly can't remember the first time I lurked there, but it was only early last year that I had a change of attitude and started posting.

In fact, there is this line in 'Do The Pop' from Radios Appear: We saw the Stooges and the MC5 Drove themselves insane alive Nova, blow torch, A-bomb eyes The Pop's the way, the truth and the light

If you read my previous link, you probably already found this, but I just can't resist posting it: Aplogies to everyone in this thread with a real RCC to show off, but Dan's stuff is just so cool (primarily because he's a psychopath). :wink: It sounds like it uses the same engine as yours...

Thanks for that correction. I'm now confused over whether or not its Richard's or Dave's album that impressed me all those years ago! I'll admit that I knew that, but wanted to see if you did. :) We always pronounced it 'quit', so when they changed the name we called it like it's written...

By sheer coincidence, I stumbled across that specific concert on cable the other night. Paul Weller was pretty average, Noel Gallagher wasn't bad but looked surprised to be there, Bryan Adams was exactly the same as always, but the standout for me (at least in the part of the concert I saw) was...

Like I said, it works with Opera. I guess this means that IE zooming is as stupid as Mozilla's. RG stands for "Really Good". :)

As ever, Bartender, you are a master of the understatement.

Hopefully.

Unless it was ... VESA LOCAL BUS! :eek4: Cracked motherboards, anyone?

I wondered hopefully if their little discussions and actions might constitute a conspiracy to defraud. Probably not, but it's nice to dream.

Some people just go to extremes: http://64.85.13.100/personal/mammoth.htm

If you use Opera (I think IE has something similar, but Mozilla doesn't), you can zoom the display up by 300-400%. Windows RG is an oldie but a goodie. I couldn't help but try out everything again. ;) Great satire. :)

Q. What is the letter "E" and where is it found? A. That's all there is. There isn't any more.

What don't you replace the link with one to the THG writer who never existed, one Van Smith? :mrgrn: Hmmm, it's just occurred to me that many people may not even know he's associated with a site: www.vanshardware.com The name sounds familiar somehow ...

Fault or Photoshop?

In that case, settle for a K6-2. They are a lot easier to find. The + version is like hen's teeth, however, intended as Cas says solely for mobile use. The vast majority of Celeron 300As would be on ATX motherboards rather than AT.

Q. What thing on the desk in front of me comes into contact with my lips? or Q. What did the cowboy's wife say to him after making love? A. Watermelon.

The first successful operational scramjet test just completed in South Australia. The engine reached about Mach 8. Here's some background: http://www.spacedaily.com/news/future-01a1.html The official site: http://www.mech.uq.edu.au/hyper/hyshot/ And here's the dissappointly brief news...

Well, the lyrics were usually easier to understand with Bon Scott. But does anyone listen to AC/DC's lyrics these days anyway? My understanding is that Bon wrote the lyrics when he was with the band, and apart from his last album, they're pretty good considering the genre. The AccaDacca lyrics...

Okay, now we're getting somewhere. :) More examples, please.

I'm sorry I mentioned the commas. :roll: I don't think there's anything much wrong technically with the grammar. But are you saying you could really comprehend what she was saying? That every part of each sentence actually made sense? :o I was hoping this would encourage others to post...

I'd like to share this piece of writing with you. Amongst its many outstanding qualities, the tribute to commas that this single sentence embodies must be singled out for special commendation. Enjoy. And this: From 'The Divided Heart', by Eileen Sherman. They're best if read out loud, but...

Ha! You had it easy! Apart from an HP calculator that could hold a 50 line program, my first computer was based on a National Semiconductor SC/MP. From memory, it had a 1kB ROM BIOS and 256 bytes of RAM. I built it at the end of 1976, based on an NS SC/MP 'intro kit', I think. Although not the...

As a rule of thumb, you want a minimum of 300VA for a workstation (although your current config is well under this), up to about 450VA for a duallie with twin hard drives and a 19" CRT monitor. Depending on brand and model, this should give you a run time of about 3 to 4 minutes. Halving the...

I don't understand the guy. His aloofness does not help his cause one iota. But then I also don't understand what he's doing with his days. Maybe he doesn't have drives to review, but the message board hardly gets touched as well. On the strength of these indicators alone, I suspect SR's in...

Do you get your Samsung keyboards through Westan, Tea? Our local branch only has Mitsubishi. I think the history is that Honeywell sold off their keyboard division to KeyTronic. They continued to supply keyboards to Honeywell for some time, and even longer with Honeywell Australia (perhaps...

Look, there's no point crying to us. Join your local BAA group if you want absolution.

Does anyone think that "those poxy get-in-the-road-all-the-time Windows keys" were worth adding to keyboards all over the world? It won't surprise Tony to learn that I still use a 12 year old Honeywell 101WN keyboard. I conceded some time ago that new keyboards would come with WindBlows keys...

I tried with Opera on an Athlon 1000. Moving side to size fairly rapidly I couldn't get above 15%, but I managed to hit about 25% by moving up and down "member services" as fast as I could (two or three complete passes up and down a second). The same operation on a P450 got me above 60%. Whoa...

What do you use to make it Tea? I've tried hot chocolate as a substitute for coffee, but haven't been able to find good 'ingredients'.

[Alt][Space], then [S] for size or [M] for move. To add to the list, [Alt][Enter] brings up properties of a selected object (where supported). And I don't think I saw anyone mention that [Ctrl][Tab] switches between MDI document windows.

Anyone remember Envoy? File sizes were a fraction of Acrobat's, and back then at least, document navigation was way better. It even had an embedded reader, so that you didn't need to install Adobe's poxy software to open a document. E_dawg, two facts leaps out at me from your problem...

Delta 37cfm 6800rpm fan requires 3.5W. The Zalman Fan Mate is rated for use with fans up to 6W. AU$12 isn't cheap? :o You do realize it contains a transistor-based voltage regulator, don't you? It's not a rheostat.

Sums it up beautifully. For making attention getting noises or playing CDs, they were quite satisfactory. Interestingly, some of them had considerably better signal to noise ratios than SB16s of the time. I must have been lucky. The cards we used never gave much trouble with drivers, but then I...

Firstly Tea, I agree in principle with much of what you say in your response to James. But I think you give too much credit to Ruddock and his minions. Immigration decisions have always been contentious. It's just that any semblance of integrity seems to have been swept away in the last couple...

:mrgrn:

I'd be interested to hear what Cas has to say about this. He has previously disparaged BEOS as offering no advantage over NT, yet I am under the impression that it was rather good at load balancing, and supposedly the API encouraged all apps to be multithreaded. Cas, is the problem solely down...

I'm afraid I agree with James. We're being misled by a morally corrupt government and complicit media (who are only interested in sensationalism, not truth). This doesn't mean we want to throw open our doors, but the methods of dealing with the refugees, political or economic, befit a two year...

Hypothetical example: the cable is routed through the roof cavity and you want to run it down inside an internal wall to a socket about 30cm above the floor. For this you need a noggin drill, which is a drill with a bit about 120cm long. Cable installers don't carry this kind of gear. Plus...

That statement will probably earn Cas' ire.

Tony, you might have to organize some of that cabling yourself, or at least get an electrician to put drawstrings through. There's a limit to what the cable installation guys are prepared to do. Don't forget they're not on Optus' payroll.

I don't think he was, but in any case Seagate quotes an average file access time of 76 seconds. Did anyone check out Seagate's 2.2TB Ultrium autoloader? Awesome reliability numbers. I'm not sure I follow your argument, James. AFAIK, this is the fastest single tape system around. Just like your...

You're a pillar of this establishment, Coug. Congratulations.

In this article a headhunter claims the situation is the worst for 24 years. :cry:

Don't sweat it, Coug. Pretty soon the USD will only be worth 2 cents anyway.

No, no, no! This is IT. Stop being sensible.

Total amateurs. They've obviously ripped off the idea from these guys: Mind you, you can't go past the ultimate fashion statement: Now that's art!
