That's true, but I'm not sure how much you can learn about computers from recycling them. I would feel different about it if it was computer training. Steve

Maybe Dell is just as bad. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/54/25343.html Steve

It's not as bad as what we have here. We have prisoners answering the NJ Tourism Hot Line! Steve

The Jojo, Yes, I have broadband, and Sunet usually has very good speeds from here. I got the first CD averaging about 2.5Mbits/s, and the second CD averaging about 1.5Mbits/s. My cable connection tops out at about 4-5Mbits/s, so that's not bad considering how busy it was. Clocker, It's in...

I installed it, and so far I'm very impressed. I chose the recommended install, and the entire process took about 25 minutes. The best part is everything just work out of the box. Samba worked with no trouble, and I was able to print to my other PC right away. It even had drivers for my scanner...

The site is /.ed, and the link I provided doesn't work anymore, so here are the mirrors: Australia ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/Mandrake/iso/ Austria ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/pub/linux/Mandrake/iso/ Czech Republic ftp://mandrake.redbox.cz/Mandrake/iso/...

Continuing the trend of Linux stories here, Mandrake released 9.0 today. It's 3 CDs, so bring you broadband connection. The list of mirrors. Steve

It does look nice! Considering that Carmack wants the game engine to be used for the next 5 years, it better be. It'll probably force a lot of people to upgrade video cards though, including myself. Steve

Do you know who makes those, and where else I could get them? It sounds like just what I'm looking for. Steve

According to EBGames, it's supposed to ship on October 1. Steve

It was formerly Redmond Linux. I think it's Lindows that's based on Corel Linux. It's hard to keep track of all of them, especially with the name changes. Steve

For some reason, they keep it hidden. Here is the list of mirrors. It's still in beta, and they seem to have a new version every couple of weeks, so I haven't gone throught the trouble of trying it yet. Steve

When commenting on stupid people, how bad is it when you make a spelling mistake? Steve

Yep. Here it is. Steve

There are some VERY stupid people in this world. http://www.freep.com/news/locoak/checks21_20020921.htm I'm speachless. Steve

A long period would be a few weeks. The Photo 780 is a 4 picoliter printer, which may explain the difference in the frequency of cleaning. Steve

For the latest Epsons, I think you can still use the generic inks, but you can't refill the Epson cartridges. They have a sensor to tell when the ink level increases, and they won't print. I have the Stylus Photo 780, and I normally use the genuine ink cartridges because I haven't had very good...

You're right about going gold in the computer industry. In music, a gold record in the U.S. is for selling 500,000 copies, and a platinum record is for 1,000,000 copies. The level a record has to reach to become gold or platinum varies by country. Steve

I'm almost positive that'll work with 6.4. VirtualDub is such an invaluable program, and I can't live without it. I use it for almost all of my encodings. Steve

Doug, For capture the flag, I think you have to set the minimum amount of players to 4. I was just on there, and it was just me and 2 bots because the minimum is currently 3. That way you won't get unbalanced teams. I probably be on there later tonight if anyone else is going to be. Steve

I don't know what codec it is either, but a quick check with VirtualDub shows that you can re-encode it with any codec you have on your system. Is there a specific one you wanted to use? Steve

P4s are horrible at folding. Look at this post I made on page 7. To make it run on a dual-processor system, read this page. Steve

Congratulations to you and your wife! Steve

Personally, I think you can't go wrong with either a Canon or Epson printer from their Photo lines. The Canons have really improved in the last year or so to the point where I would put them about even with the Epsons in quality. They're also quieter and significantly faster than the Epsons...

Oh, and I said I would be an easy kill, and I lived up to my claim. :( It's still a lot of fun. Steve

Nice picture. :D The server ran great, no lag at all. Do you like capture the flag? Steve

Well, I'm ready to get my ass kicked. :wink: I was playing games less and less, then Madden 2003 came out a few weeks, and now this. Oh well, who needs sleep anyway! Steve

From right at the top of the page: Steve

There's a 3 meg patch available that fixes a few a the problems in the demo. http://www.unrealtournament2003.com/?downloads Steve

I just tried it, and it seems very good so far. But I think I need more practice, as I was just keeping up with the Bots set on average. I know I would be a very easy kill for you guys. Steve

Doh! I meant to say turn off the preview pane instead of the auto-preview. Steve

Another thing with Outlook is to set the security zone to "Restricted Sites" and to turn off the auto-preview option. Steve

No, PR has its own Consitution which, of course, is largely based on the U.S. Constitution. If you're interested, you can read the full text of it here. All Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens and they elect 1 U.S. Representative, but he(she) doesn't get a vote in Congress. Also, there's no...

Don't worry, I don't speak Spanish either and I am Puerto Rican (well, I do speak it, but with a horrible accent. I can't roll my r's, but I can understand it enough to get by). I love Old San Juan and I want to retire there, but that's a long way off. Back on topic (sorry, Prof.!). I voted...

Mr. None Above is very good man. He never makes promises he doesn't keep, and never takes campaign donations. Write in vote for Mr. None Above. Seriously, the last election for statehood was non-binding, and the vote was more a referendum against the Governor than anything else. The choices...

I was afraid this would happen and I only hope other companies don't follow them. I'm interested in knowing if anyone here would still consider buying a drive with a 3 year warranty from either Maxtor or WD while they still have the 1 year warranty policy for other drives. Steve

Preliminary ratings in the U.S. show viewership was slightly down. I watched the ceremony at Ground Zero in the morning and when the President arrived in the afternoon. At night, I watched the Mets game. I made the mistake of watching CBS' "9/11" documentary when it originally aired 6 months...

Janet Reno wants a full manual recount of the entire state. Here we go again. http://abcnews.go.com/sections/politics/DailyNews/wnt_fla_020912.html http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,62988,00.html I'll gladly take Puerto Rico for statehood, although in the last election for statehood, "None of...

Try muting the line-in and mic-in on your sound card and see it that does anything. It could also be interference from some of the other wires. You could try unplugging most of them, leaving just the speakers and see if the static is still there. Steve

Now that is something I definitely remember. I had tickets to Game 4 of the NLCS, but my mom wouldn't let me go because I was sick (I was 9 at the time). As for the infamous Game 6 of the World Series, I thought for sure the Mets had lost. Then, a couple of hits, a wild pitch, and of course the...

All of the redesigned bills have the wire in them. It's in a different spot for each denomination. For example, hold up a twenty to the light, with the front facing you. You'll see the wire going down the left side in between the 2 and the 0 of the bill. Steve

NetBIOS over TCP/IP is ports 137-139. You router should block it automatically already (along with those pesky PASV FTP connections :wink: ). I know that mine does. Steve

I was too young to remember Reagan/the Pope being shot. For the challenger disaster, I found out in class just after the lunch break. The students that went home for lunch told us that it had exploded. The Berlin Wall I remember watching on the news. For the start of the Gulf War, I remember I...

The original $2 bills were only made in 1976, AFAIK. However, they're worthless as a collector's item, since everyone horded them when they came out. I think they did reintroduce it in the mid-90s, but in very limited quantities. The latest attempt at making a dollar coin has failed after...

My answer was in response to Buck's question about the difference between the *SRPMS* and *i386* discs, so I didn't include the other discs. Discs 2 & 3 hold the additional programs which, depending on what you install, you will likely need. An SMP kernel is included on the first disc. Steve

The valhalla-SRPMS-disc1.iso is the source code. The one you want to install it is the valhalla-i386-disc1.iso. Steve

Intel discussed this at the Fall IDF today. Apparently they are looking at making the CPU running at two different voltages, with less critical transistors running at a lower voltage while operating at the same frequency. There a short bit on it at Anand's. They also demonstrated a processor...

I get "Server is closed" when trying to connect. Steve

I don't know about injuries, but I'm fairly certain there weren't any deaths from his building. My dad was in charge of making sure everyone from their office was okay and reporting back to their home office, but his company only had one floor of a 50+ story building, so there were a lot of...

My deepest sympathies to your entire family, Jake. Steve
