And lets us never forget: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zjz16xjeBAA

This is a little off-topic, but one of the reasons I dislike Outlook is not having the ability to default having your reply below the original text. Heck even RFC 1855 - Netiquette Guidelines (published in 1995) has: This makes what you are replying to, to be in proper context of the original...

Hi Guys, Sorry for not posting sooner, but the connection latency from this spaceship is a killer. We're just passing Neptune at the moment and will enter hyperspace once we get passed the outer planets. Something about engaging the hyperdrive and a mass gravity well? I'll post again once we...

As I said, I would love to use alternate transport, be it walking, bike or mass public transport. (my waist line would like it as well). However in order to move to an area that has those facilities and be close to Uni (as in my case) would see a significant increase in my rent or a significant...

Our last one use just over $600... (for 3mths usage). But that one is typically high due to use of the air-con. Over the winters months, it's down to around $400 for the 3 mths.

jtr, I would love to take public transport to/from Uni 3-4 days a week. However, these are points that must be considered in my personal case: The nearest train station is 6km from my house. I live semi-rural, so the only local bus service is 6 times a day mainly timetabled for K-12 school...

My personal experience with Outlook falls into 2 categories: With Exchange - the most common problem (which is extremely rare) is a corrupt profile on the client PC, and haven't seen that in 5 yrs. The only other problem I've seen is when using the "RPC via HTTP" option in Outlook 2007+ to...

So you're going to be buying Seagate from now on? Or alternatively ditch spinning disks altogether from now on?

Since I don't/can't run IE9 I can't give a comparison, but at the moment: FF 4.0.1, with 9 tabs open, I'm seeing 144MB usage. (2 being SF, 8 being Slashdot, and 1 on the Uni Website with a PDF open via the Acrobat plugin). The highest it's been is around 900MB, and that's after watching YouTube...

Granted. But when someone touts "Enterprise" I immediately think 5-10+ drive arrays (at the smaller end) and decent RAID controllers. These might be useful for smaller installations in the SMB sector where there is no RAID controller present (thinking single server situations, with everything...

Interesting, but I wonder how good OCZ "Enterprise" support is, based on passed experience? How much testing will they do with large OEMs to ensure that their drives work without issues on the more popular RAID controllers out there? Or will they simply blame the RAID controller for issues?

Digging through the X.org 7.6 downloads for input devices, Microsoft Mice (on USB) may be supported using the following protocol options: "Auto" - Let X.org attempt to work it out (the default) "usb" - X.org will just use the default/generic USB HID events. No special device handling...

Some MS mice need to have a different protocol defined for them to work 100%. http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R6.8.1/doc/mouse.html mainly in regards to http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R6.8.1/doc/mouse6.html#26

Can you post your xorg.conf in particular the section related to the mouse? (Should be in /etc/X11/ ).

All this talk about Canada, made me watch the South Park movie again...

Are you passing the raw USB device to Mint, or are you letting VB emulate a mouse, and it in turn is just passing on the mouse events?

Have nothing in the lounge room with the main TV, but my desktop has a Logitech Z-2300 2.1 speaker set. (200W - 2x 40W + 120W for the Sub, THX Certified, etc).

From my experience with Outlook. The PST is not upgraded as part of the running the new version, you need to create a new PST, and import your old one into it. Did you clean out the Users registry entries for Outlook. That contains a bunch of settings including PST location, POP3/SMTP settings...

The only issue I may see, is that some birds use the magnetic field for navigation, so may see some decline in their population, but overall I don't see any mass effect on the ecosystem.

These people love their iPhone so much, they posted it on YouTube... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcnQ72sPZAI

Hopefully this will answer those questions: http://www-istp.gsfc.nasa.gov/earthmag/magnQ&A6.htm#q109

If using Windows as the Host OS, and have it usable as a workstation environment, I do not believe this is possible. The only way to hide physical hardware is to run the workstation environment as a guest OS on top of another virtualisation product. Be it VMWare, VirtualBox or HyperV.

A small update - we stopped by a few phone shops today (AllPhones, Fone Zone, T-Life store), and all recommended the HTC over the others. Second place was either SE, Motorola Defy or Nokia. None recommended the Samsung or cheap Nokia range of phones. My wife even liked the HTC Desire, and now...

I take first dibs on working in sector 7-G!

I've been looking website designs to emulate for an assignment on cssmania.com, and came across this health instructional website for CPR. Why couldn't the last CPR video I watched been like this one! Definitely NSFW. http://supersexycpr.com/

Local media reports that US used a surgical strike against a compound in Pakistan, killing several members including bin Laden. No US forces were injured during the mission. There are rumors that Navy Seals formed the greater number of operators on the ground, but from experience the truth will...

Thanks for letting me know. We're not in that much of a rush, but sooner the better.

Don't worry, I won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes. If we do end up with the Wildfire, and only get 1 day before a recharge, then that's something expected (as with any smartphone). But if we get more, then that's a bonus!

Did you forget that we are the arse end of the world? Big item stuff, especially movies in the theater we get in line with the rest of the world, but anything else like books, DVD/BD releases and even electronics we take a back seat and wait for the boat to circumnavigate the world a few...

Interesting enough, the Wildfire is listed as having 600+ hrs on standby, mainly contributed to the lower spec'ed (and slower) CPU and smaller screen size. Browsing forums indicates that with average call usage, but no internet access or excessive gaming/app usage, over 1 week on a single charge...

Thanks guys, In regards to data allowance, we get basically nothing (5MB), but can up that to 1GB per mth for a small increase ($10) in our monthly plan rate. Not something we want to do, but will if we have to. dd, I ddi read about BB shaky future, but I doubt various agencies will let them...

Hi all, As many of you are aware, my wife and I sick of our current Samsung mobile phones (plus hers' is starting to die), and have put together some $$ to purchase 2 new mobiles. Unfortunately, we still have 12+ mths on our current contracts, so can't change carriers, or get new phones as part...

I just googled that, and now my head hurts... On article seems to think it's 11 Sep 3 BC. http://petragrail.tripod.com/page5.html Others indicate multiple valid dates. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_Jesus

I'm glad that's not the case where I'm attending. 8-) I think most lecturers/tutors would look at me strange if I said my main word-processor was Lyx,and that I only have OpenOffice installed so I can open the stuff they produce, or to make a presentation in Impress.

And Happy Easter to all as well.

I personally use a netbook at Uni, but have a regular desktop at home which has dual 20" LCDs attached. However most students I've encountered, the laptop is their only PC, and as a guess 95% are running either Windows or Mac OSX. (In my programming classes, only 3 studets out of 96 are running...

From what I have seen, most are used for either facebook or gaming. Those that are actually paying attention are still using (like myself) pen and paper to take down lecture notes. For just about all the subjects I have taken, lecture notes or at least the presentation slides are available for...

Been working on an assignment for Uni, implementing a data driven website in ASP.NET. While I can certainly appreciate some of the things ASP.NET brings to the table, some of it leaves a lot to be desired. (Coming from some years of using PHP or coding CGI modules in straight C as a reference...

Are you able to set up automatic delivery receipts? At least it'll confirm if the target MTA is getting the email. If it's getting lost in their MTA (between their MTA getting it, and the users inbox) then at least they have somewhere to look.

Like Tannin, I've been using the Sandisk one's as they're easily available and relative cheap. For Uni of been using a couple of the 4GB Sandisk Cruzer Blade, and have been happy with them. This model does go up to 16GB in size. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171500...

And Solaris AFAIK is still being developed? Solaris 10 U9 was released in Sep-2010, and Solaris 11 Express in Nov-2010. (Both released by Oracle several months after the Sun acquisition).

I now this is getting a little off-topic, but anyway... I moved to Solaris Express Developer Edn back on '07 after some discontent with FreeBSD and prior to that Linux (I was running Crux Linux at the time). It was mainly around the issues that would arise when you did a system update...

As long as your GPS has the maps loaded, it should work fine.

Since last time, had a little girl, GG. Our son is now 3yrs old, and our daughter is 1yr old. (They're 23mths apart). Now at Uni full-time, studying software engineering, but otherwise nothing else has pretty much changed.

Strange, is that through Seagate direct? I only say that, as the only time I've been charged for anything (other than shipping) is for advance replacements. Mind you I ship direct to Sydney (last time was for a 10K.6, and before that a 7200.7), and never had an issue, nor any additional costs...

Other than greater storage density which appears to be getting to it's limit (with current technology), I don't see much beyond 4-5TB 3.5 disks. Non-volatile RAM is being reseatched in a big way, eg NRAM and millipede. The one thing I like about NRAM, is that it offers similar density and...

The only problem with the Linux w/ZFS solution is either you use FUSE and get crappy performance, or use the kernel module and enter an area which even the main-line kernel developers won't touch with a ten foot pool. On Linux I wold look at brtfs as a serious contender. Otherwise just use BSD...

The day I read the nutritional information on one, was the day I topped eating them. It's better and healther just to eat a couple spoonfuls of sugar than eat a donut from them.

Certainly was! The jump from dual Op242s (equivalent to a single Athlon X2 3800) to a I2Q-9400 was massive.

So that leaves: 1. Seagate (aka Samsung, Maxtor, etc) 2. WDC (aka Hitachi, IBM, etc) 3. Toshiba (aka Fujistu). And Toshiba appear to only sell to other big OEMs (like IBM, HP, etc), so for the common person, it's either Seagate or WDC. Truely, as Merc put it. GODDAMMITSOFUCKINGMUCH. A...
