I haven't gone down to the site yet, but my sister went last November with her boyfriend. That was when it was still smoking, and she said it smelled horrible. My dad's company still hasn't returned to 3 WFC and they're not sure if they're ever going back. Many of the employees said that they...

The 29MB download is for the source code. Try this link for Mozilla 1.1, or this one for Mozilla 1.0. These links are for a 214k installer file. You download that, and then select what parts of Mozilla you want to download. For just the browser, it's a little over 8MB download. Steve

Here is nearly the same angle as the last picture, but after the collapse. You can see the steel beams sticking out of 3 WFC in the upper left corner. That's about 15-20 stories up. These two give a clearer picture of the damage done to my dad's building: Picture 1 Picture 2 I can't post a...

These pictures were taken the Friday before 9/11 by my dad. These first two were taken from Battery Park, just south of the WTC. This picture shows 1 WTC in the background with 3 World Financial Center (WFC) on the left, and 2 WFC on the right. In the middle is what is known as the Winter...

Does anyone have about 300k of server space I could use? I have 3 pictures of the World Trade Center my dad took on September 7, 2001 that I want to post. He's not the best photographer, but one of them turned out really well. Steve

It is a computer lab. 193 active processors in the last week. Steve

File's done! 260.48Kbps avg. Steve

I could transfer it over AIM if you want. Steve

Not friendly? We built you an 18,000 hole golf course in 1991. You didn't like it? We're planning on building you another one in a few months. It's a gift from all Americans to your leader. Steve

If it's a recent one, it should be FCPGA compatible. I think it was just the earliest converters that weren't. Steve

Well, I put it on my test system to see how it looks. I didn't see any improvements in video quality with the samples they provided over what could be done with divx or xvid. As for the audio, I'm not the best judge since I'm nearly deaf in one ear. The worst part is that WMP 6.4 won't download...

That's just too funny! :D They did change it from earlier. Steve

Microsoft has put out the beta version of Media Player 9 and Media Encoder 9 here. I haven't tried it yet, but I would strongly suggest you read the EULA before you install it, in case they put some surprises in there. Steve

Two scroll wheels? What's that for? General Electric is already in just about every other business, so why no make computer mice too. Steve

Now everyone else is going to follow them and go to a one year warranty. Even if there is a big price drop associated with it, why would you want any of these drives? I was looking foward to them for some large storage drives, but not anymore. Steve

I just read on HardOCP that they did change their name today. It's still all the same people running the site, but I don't know where they came up with that name. Steve

That's the version I have. It seems to be the legitimate final version. Steve

Mandrake 9.0 RC1 was just released, and the final version should be available fairly soon. I've used 8.2, and found it fairly stable and it had no problems with any of my hardware. I haven't tried Redhat in a while, although 7.3 in supposed to be a very good release. I'm going to be giving...

As I was writing that, jtr1962 made a much better post than I did. I agree with all of it. Steve

No, reparations shouldn't be paid. My family falls into reason number four: The earliest my ancestors came to America was in the 1870s, and three of my four grandparents and my mother were born outside the mainland U.S. Although most of my ancestors did come from a Caribbean island where...

I just looked at Davis' profile on SR, and he has over 200 hundred post in the last week! That is a whole lot of posting. I think he's the only one still posting (or even looking) at that long joke thread. Steve

I wonder if it'll actually happen. It certainly seems plausible enough that Microsoft would do that. It would probably be a big shock to a lot people if they went to Windows Update, and found that their computer became unusable. Steve

That is an attention getter for a subject line! I'm sure it lived a full and productive life. At least is will be an organ donor, though. Steve

USB 2.0 is actually slightly faster than Firewire. USB 2.0 is 480Mbs and Firewire is 400Mbs.

It actually should be 11m17s per frame for the P4. I timed how long each machine took to do 3 frames, and took the average. The P4 has only been up for a couple of hours, so it hasn't finished a full WU yet. What do you mean how many units total for the protein? Steve

Protein p180_enghomeoGB: Duron 850@935 - 13m57s per frame P4 2.53 - 11m47s per frame The P4s really are horrible at folding, but otherwise it seems very fast so far. Steve

Between the P4 vs. the new celeron, it's 533FSB vs. 400FSB, 512K Cache vs. 128K, and .13 micron vs. .18 micron. In other words, it's basically an original P4 Willamette with half the cache. The old celerons were P3s with half the cache which was slightly slower than true P3s. Steve

Snakeskin boots are in fact made from a snake's skin and leather. A snake sheds its outer layer of skin when it outgrows it, usually several times a year. Snakeskin boots are made from snakes that are killed when they aren’t shedding their skin, and they use more than just the outer layer. Steve

A meteorite that small would slow down to terminal velocity once it hit the atmosphere. It's very possible that there would be no crater at all. Also, meteorites that size are generally cooled by the upper atmosphere, so it would likely be cool or at most warm to the touch. I think the part...

Britney Spears does Pepsi ads, which is why I drink Coke. :wink: Steve

I just saw this on Slashdot. A 14-year old girl in England had a small meteorite fall on her foot. The odds of a meteorite hitting a person are 1 billion to 1. My favorite quote from the article: " This does not happen very often in Northallerton." Here is the whole article. Steve

There's also a couple of polls up on whether or not replies should be allowed in the marketplace, and if they should bring back the drive reliability survey.

You're right. I just checked the USPS page, and they say they have 797,795 employees. Walmart claims more than 1 million "associates". Steve

Congrats, Cliptin! I just upgraded to the latest F@H Electron Microscope, and something went wrong, causing me to lose about a day's worth of time. It crashed, and when I restarted it, it couldn't find the work unit and had to start all over. I'll be adding a P4 2.53 in a couple of days, so...

It's probably Coke. For most employees, the USPS has to be way up there. They have a couple of million I think. Steve

The case came out very good! What did you do to make sure the paint didn't get into the drives, and what did you paint it with? Steve

It gave me a good laugh. I was looking for some P4 2.8GHz reviews and decided to look there and I saw that article. Now I remember why I don't go there anymore. He talks about courage and integrity while publicly bashing people. Steve

Clocker, I hope your Grandma gets well soon. Steve

Because common sense and government don't go together. :wink: Steve

If you right-click on an image, there's an option to "Block Images from this Server" so that they'll never show up again. Tabbed browsing is very handy, and if you middle-click on a link, it'll open it up in a new tab. Steve

That's not true. I have Netgear 10/100 cards in both my machines, and UD rates it anywhere from 117-122. I think it's a combination of network card and internet bandwidth available. The CPU rating also changes depending on if you're using anything CPU intensive when it checks it. Steve

Oops. I hate when I do that. I meant to say that 0-60 in 20 seconds is unacceptable. The buses and trucks get away with it because they're so big and the cars have to get out of their way. It's very dangerous though when they pull out in front of you and you either have to slam on the brakes or...

Good news and bad news: We're up to number 40, but Team Austech is out crunching us again. Steve

jtr1962, A 0-60 time is just unacceptable if you're trying to merge onto a heavily trafficked highway with no entrance lane like just about all highways in North Jersey. Mercutio, Just because Iraq could increase their production to 7 million barrels a day, the world's consumption is likely to...

I check slashdot a few times a day, even though they sometimes just put links to articles I've seen already. The discussions are usually fairly interesting though, with somewhat of a mix a viewpoints. However, I gone months in the past without checking it, but right now I seem to be in the mood...

There's probably no need for it until Doom III, and who knows when that'll be out. The current video cards are already fast enough. I wish they would spend more time improving the quality of the game play than just improving the graphics. Steve

It's an interesting article, but as James said, he didn't try as hard as a real terrorist would. They would be willing to do whatever it takes, including meeting up with the top level of the Russian mob, no matter how dangerous to their own health. Their interview with the Enola Gay pilot was...

That should be 20/25 vs. 14/18. Steve

My sister just bought a Pathfinder, although I don't know why. She's in sales, and has to drive all over, but I don't still don't see the need for an SUV. I know she'll never take it off road. Personally, I like small cars because you have a better feel of the road and have much better handling...

Who actually uses processor speed to determine performance? There's already tons of benchmarks done on hundreds of web pages. If anything, it would be Intel's "makes the internet faster" claim that would get them in trouble. Steve
