I think the Hotmail team is a glitch. Look under their users, and you'll "Anonymous" listed. Now look at the top 1000 users, and search for "Anonymous" and you'll see that they almost match up exactly. It seems that they are getting credit for everyone who is running as Anonymous. Steve

If everything is working fine, there's no need to do a clean install. Windows is much better as detecting completely new hardware than in the past. I've switched motherboards on systems before, and most of the time Windows detects everything once supplied with the correct drivers. As for the...

I though they would have done that sooner. However, if one could still download the updates manually, how effective is it really? Steve

That's what I get for posting half-asleep after a long, hot day! Let me say now, what I should have said earlier. I don't pick a program based on its skins. Both Mozilla and Opera have the basic features I need, such as pop-up blocking, and tabbed browsing, and I would choose either over IE. As...

Browser use is a personal preference. I don't think I'll be giving up Mozilla anytime soon, although the favicon is something I wish it had. I've given Opera a try for about a week, but I just don't like the feel of it. I can't put my finger on just what it is I don't like about it, but I just...

It's perfectly legal if you can prove that you will be the only one smoking them. It's the selling of out-of-state cigarettes that's illegal. I know some of my cousins drive to Jersey to get cigarettes. It's about $4.50 a pack compared to around $7.00 in NYC. Steve

They're all crazy! Cool video though, Clocker. Steve

LOL! Good one. Steve

Congratulations, Tony. You're post are always informative and funny. Steve

Type 13: The ParentsWhoDon'tKnowWhatTheirKidsAreDoing. This is a whole family of trouble makers. The parents may be either Type 6 or 8, and if you're very unlucky also Type 9. The kids are Type 2(ii) The Thinkstheyknowisallbutknowsnothing. The son is a budding warez pup and/or script kiddie...

Excellent answer, Tea. When I build a system for someone, I feel obligated to help them on problems I know have nothing to do with the hardware or software I installed. I get fustrated when I hear about people calling tech support at company X and being told it's not their problem it's company...

It's good to see that you enjoyed it. It's also proof that there still are nice and helpful people in this world. Handruin, you did very well for your first race, certainly much better than I think I would have. Just out of curiosity, how many people were there? Steve

I've had a whole bunch of pets during my lifetime. Fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, 2 rabbits, a few snakes, a cockatiel, and an iguana. Mostly, however, it was just our standard poodle Penny and our cat Freckles. Penny was a pure breed and she lived to be 16, when she had a slipped disk in her back...

Both my PCs are working on P146 WU right now. The console version of F@H identifies them as P145, but the F@H Electron Microscope, that Clocker gave the link for, correctly identifies it a P146 and also correctly values it as worth 6.0 points. Steve

Wow. Things certainly have advanced a lot since I've been into RC cars. I don't even have anti-lock brakes on my real car! Steve

I buy something when I can justify the price, which for me is usually long after its been out. I also like to be sure there's no major problems with it. Steve

The Family Circus is absolutely the unfunniest comic there is. The only daily comic I find worth reading is Dilbert. I really miss The Far Side and Calvin & Hobbes. Those were truely classics. Steve

I think I first got the link from JCs Page around 1999. I don't remember when I first started reading the forum, but I was strictly a lurker before the crash. I don't think I even registered for it. Steve

I built a plane once, however I never got to fly it. Against my better judgment, I let my dad take the controls for the first flight, even though I knew he wasn't very good at using the remote control. The plane took off, made a left, then started diving straight into the ground. The plane...

I didn't read this thread all the way through when I posted my last comment, so I missed this. We have the same birthday Will, except you're a year older than me! Steve

An update to the story is on The Register. Here's a quote from this page of the forum Vlad linked to: Right. A new laptop for £76. I sure they really thought that was a legitimate deal. I can't believe the nerve some people have. Steve

I used to be into RC cars over a decade ago. I had three, I think. Nothing too elaborate, but I had plenty of fun with them. I probably spent more time taking them apart and rebuilding them than actually racing them. I also had a plane, but my dad crashed it on its first flight, and it never...

I got 450KB/s with my cable modem. Thanks for the link. Steve

I'll see if I can get my sister to add it to her laptop, however I'm not sure if she has it on long enough to finish a WU in the alotted time. Do you still get the points if it takes longer than that? Steve

Congratulations The JoJo! Keep it up. Steve

I'm playing with it right now. So far it looks pretty good. I can monitor both my PCs now, and I even put the SF logo into it. I think I've set it up correctly, however I think you can't have it automatically start F@H if it's monitoring a remote machine, since it'll try and run it locally. I'll...

Yes. The only local Mom & Pop theater closed a few years ago. That used to have $6.00 tickets, but only 1 decent sized screen, and 2 really small ones. Now we only have one of those 16 screen megaplexes that have decent enough screens, but everything is so overpriced and it seems to be overrun...

I think some kind of intro page would be a good idea. It can be intimidating for new members, especially since almost everyone here knows each other so well. I know many of you from my lurking at SR, but I've never formally introduced myself there or here. Steve

I haven't seen any movies in the theaters this year. I just can't see spending $9.50 to see a movie. I'm better off just renting the DVD and going to my parents place to watch it on their widescreen HDTV. However, I'll probably see Goldmember in the theaters since I liked the first two enough...

Thanks guys. Now I have a good idea of what to look for. I'll check the Sunday paper to see if anything is on sale. Handruin, you're not the only one who can't get up in the morning. I HATE mornings, plus I'm and insomniac. I don't think I've fallen asleep before midnight since Junior High. Steve

Thanks time. I'm not too worried about how long it'll run, since I can't remember when we had a power outage that lasted more than a few seconds. It's just those short ones that are really annoying (and usually when I'm doing something important). Steve

That's pretty much what I figured. It would be nice if the power requirements weren't increasing so much. Even the new Radeon 9700 needs a separate power connector. Thanks, Steve

I can't believe that's a real ad! What were they thinking? Steve

I forgot to add one question: How long do the batteries typically last? Steve

Hi Everyone, I'm thinking about getting a UPS for my main system, since it's now more reliable than my power company. The power usually goes out about once a month for a second or two, just long enough for me to lose whatever it is I'm working on. My PC is nothing special: Duron 850 Geforce 2 2...

I have a whopping 2 WUs done, in 23rd place! I doubt I'll be able to catch many of you guys, but every little bit counts. Steve

Happy Birthday! Steve
