Anyone knows how the Core i7 fares at Folding? The 920 is relatively cheap and the Asus P6T Deluxe motherboard has 3 PCIe 16X slots. That could make a monstrous Folding machine.

I'm sitting speechless in front of my PC, more than five minutes after I read this...and I wonder why you did flush and not grabbed him and put his face right into what got out of your own personal factory. Your patience is beyond my understanding.

I didn't have faith in it, but SmithFraudFix did fix the problem. No more IEXPLORER process poping out of nowhere. I know I should have used HijackThis, but I was hoping not to have to (yes, that is laziness). Thanks all for your suggestions.

I'm finalizing the cleanup of an infested computer. I had to disabled everything with msconfig and do a chkdsk /r before being able to install anything. I passed MalwareBytes, Superantispyware, Spysweeper, Spybot S&D, Adaware 2008 and Avira Antivir. I removed every temporary files I could...

Thanks.

Tell him you are about to blow a gasket. Give him business hours and warn him that your mental health requires that you don't answer phone calls / reply to e-mails outside of your availability hours. I did that two week ago when a customer awoke me a Sunday morning. I levelled one of my rooms...

Get rid of your car. Mine's been at the garage for the past week (cable shifter broke a month and a half after the transmission, and I don't have the 576$CDN Toyota ask to replace it - 720$ with labor and taxes). I make my service calls by bike. I've spent more than two hours per day cycling...

http://www.av-comparatives.org/ http://www.virusbtn.com/index Browse both and compare. I like Nod32 and Avira Antivir most.

Why don't you use Avira Antivir personal edition classic? It detects a lot more malwares than either Avast or AVG (according to avcompatives.org) and it scans faster than both others too. Best of all : it's free. The main downside for me is that the free version is only available in English...

The culinar Poutine isn't that hard to do : just buy a regular french fries with sauce and add cheese curds. The Russian Poutine, why would anyone want to have this?

The MSI Radeon HD 4350 will do what you want and is passively cooled. You can read the review here and buy it here.

I'm a pioneer.

Shit, your computer is faster than mine once again. I'll have to modifiy my sig.

Explain them the issue and why they should use Thunderbird. If they absolutely want to stick with Outlook, well, they should call Microsoft for support. It's to Microsoft they gave money for their shitty software, so logically it is to Microsoft to please the customer. Of course, any sensible...

I don't have a problem with it either. What's funnier than the video are the many parody, remix made from it.

Safari 3.1.2 : 2995.8ms ± 0.5%, Acid3 test 75% I'm surprised it beats Opera in the speed test.

Maybe it's because I'm tired, but I find the following funny as Hell : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUS6nKpddec Who's that guy? Was it live? Does he still have a job? And is channel 4 a big news channel?

Why would I care if it did not?

SeaMonkey 1.1.2 : 10798.0ms ±0.2%, Acid3 test : 53% SeaMonkey 2.0 Alpha 1 : 2314.8ms ±0.8%, Acid3 test : 87% Minefield 11.01.2008 : 1178.0ms ±4.9%, Acid3 test : 93% The next version of Firefox will be quite interesting (Minefiled is the daily build of Firefox).

hint.

An article linked from 2CPU.com led me to test the four Internet browsers I have on my main system using SunSpider JavaScript benchmark. The results are shown below : Google Chrome 0.3.154.9 : 1108.6ms ±1.9% Opera 9.62 : 3095.8ms ±0.6% Mozilla Firefox 3.0.3 : 2419.6ms ±1.0% Internet Exasperor...

The extra hour of sleep will be welcome tonight.

Seagate's ATA/SATA drives' reliability has been dreadful in my experience. I mostly sell Western Digital and their return rate is very acceptable. Maybe my suppliers handle W.D. drives more carefully than elsewhere around the Globe.

If gold was worth less than 500$/Oz, that could be an idea, but at ~800$/Oz, it's pretty stupid. You don't buy something when it's close to its historical high (which must be around 950$/Oz IIRC).

Art? The remains of a pair of moquitos I smashed on the white wall behind my monitor could be viewed as a modern art chef d'oeuvre if magnified. Don't put a confortable chair you won't use yourself in your office. The local ass-grabber (every company has at least one) will likely make it...

I disgress with the above. The country next to mine, Canada, did just that in the nineties and early 2000s. The debt-to-GDP ratio was ugly there in 1995, but they cut their expenses (mostly the money transfered to provinces) and raised the taxes through many programs. The taxation was almost...

For those who fold using their Nvidia GPU, upgrading to the fahcore version 1.15 and using the 178.08 CUDA driver results in at least a 10% bump (probably closer to 15%) in ppd production. I might hit 5000ppd thanks to this and I spent exactly 0$ for it.

The higher they get, the harder they fall... I'm sure there are some American christian-freaks who already plan to crash an airliner into it to avenge the twin towers attacks.

Your virginity. No way someone is going to insert anything in my rear. No fu**ing way!

I don't like the Texas mentality either, but I wouldn't go as far as to imply that there are no intelligent people in Texas. AMD's headquarters are in Austin, Texas and our own Gary is from Houston. That's at least two noteworthy spots.

I've never finished a lip balm stick. Main reason is that I've never started one. I'll never have enough oestrogen in my body to start using lip balm. When your lips feel dry, it means you've been too long without a beer ;-). Where's the drunken bastard when you need him?

The most stupid part is the tax cut for businesses included in the second bail-out plan. Your government doesn't have enough money already to operate properly, your expenses are way too high and now they cut the income once more. This bail-out plan should be renamed the check-mate plan...

Wow, I barely speak english and I don't follow politics much these days, but I could have answered it better than she did. At 72, there would be considerable chances that McCain wouldn't make it untill the end of his first mandate. I never thought it possible, but now I think there's a chance...

My entire production comes from a non-overclocked GeForce 8800GT. I have a Xeon X3350, but I don't use the SMP client on that machine.

I know VMware performs worse than VirtualPc/Virtual Server for disk I/O. Otherwise, they are similar. For a database, if you go the VM way, you should opt for the Microsoft solution. I rarely push Microsoft's products over any other, but in this case I do. I prefer VMware's ease of...

To go back on the original topic, the manual gear box of my Japanese-made car left for paradise yesterday. Finding a replacement has been difficult because apparently, many of my model do that, so there's a shortage of gear boxes. It will cost me 1500$ to repair overall. My car has 134000Km...

I'm retrying Windows Vista tonight. I don't know long it'll last (no more than 120 days for sure - 30 days + 3 rearm). I do it because I have to. Last I gave Vista a try on one of my systems was more than a year ago and I get more and more tech support calls from unfortunate people stuck with...

Should read "a tough pill to swallow". This thread was more a rant against the poor showing that AMD does with the Phenom architecture. The heatsink part was only a diversion. An acronym for Udaman (looks like his avatar)?

I hate to be stuck with hardware. I've been stuck with an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro cooler since September 2006, two years ago. The only other computer part I haven't been able to sell is an In Win BT611T slim desktop case with a 300W power supply, but this one is only one year old, so it...

Why don't you use external slim USB optical drives? Just a few for the entire computer fleet. Plug when necessary.

Pfff! Moumoune.

I would use a GigaByte GA-MA74GM-S2 instead because it has the improved SB700 south bridge and the integrated graphic is marginally better. I very much doubt a business box needs HDMI, but the DVI output of the MA74GM-S2 should be useful. There are many optical drives manufacturers. Why do...

The gas mileage sucks, but it is available in P-ZEV version (environmentally-friendly), so while it still costs you more to drive, at least what goes out of the exhaust pipe is a lot less armful than what's produced by most other vehicles. The Legacy and Outback also earn the highest safety...

You can also perform "chkdsk /r" from the recovery console of the installation CD and it might work.

Have you tested the hard drive before wasting your time trying to recover the installation? Otherwise, Google gave me this : http://www.tinyempire.com/notes/ntldrismissing.htm

So instead of having to live with a snowbike or a quad that produces 90dB for 10sec., wildlife will have to sustain a slow-moving mecanical thing that will make 80dB for 20 minutes in the area before it's gone. This is great.

I used Malwarebyte on a system infected by both Antivirus XP 2008 and Brave Sentry. After the scan, the machine refused to boot in Windows. I had to repair Windows. After the repair, XP 2008 was gone. Brave Sentry is best removed by Smitfraudfix. I recommend backing up the data or making an...

I do this on a regular basis. Not often enough to my liking though. I use an axe most of the time instead of a sledgehammer. So far, I've never had problem being paid by the customer after I've finish a data erase job, so I guess they are satisfied.

Your other points, I won't dispute, but that one is b/s. Here, schools with a strong physical education program always outperform regular schools. Moving activates the system, including the mind. You can blame pretty much anything to explain tpoor student ratings, but not sports. Forcing a...
