    How to convey an idea

    That's my exact thoughts... I'll just have to let her know that I am speaking to others on the dating site, and have meet someone there... The thing is, I know how self-conscience some people are about their weight, so I don't want convey that's why I don't want more from (any) relationship...

    Another UPS thread (not the shipping company)

    :rotfl: Powerware is/was a consolidation of Sola, Powerware and Eaton... Products may be under those other brands depending on the country... eg the Sola 5110 is the same as the Powerware 5110 UPS.

    Another UPS thread (not the shipping company)

    I upgraded from an APC Back-UPS ES-350 to a Powerware 5110 1500VA unit, after I found that 350VA APC unit wasn't up to the task (only could power my system for roughly 5secs before dying). The Powerware UPS is roughly the same spec's as the APC Back-UPS range, at about 20% cheaper. Overall I'm...

    How to convey an idea

    This is an extension of another thread, just asking for comments... Got it figured, on the phone to her last night, and I said I went for 15.5km (9.2mile) run after work (which I actually did do - I now avg around 30 - 60km a week running), so she started telling me about the gym she goes to...

    The end of an era

    Something Random

    I'm quite the opposite, if I sleep too much I feel like I've got a hangover... I need to get up at 6-7 to feel good for the day.

    AHA-39160 Drivers (windows)

    Well, just after posting, there was an additional error indicating that there was a problem with the VXA-1 drive... But when I run the Exabyte diagnostic tools, all tests pass... So I replaced the SCSI cable (all the cables I have, have permanent terminators) and for the time being the errors...

    Poll: Anyone like to cook?

    I've always liked the Weber Charcoal Kettle style BBQ's, but Weber has just released a range of gas powered BBQs that should suite, (they have a split grill and hot plate setup). Even the smaller Kettle BBQs will fit 4 large steaks with ease. The biggest advantage of the kettle BBQ setup, is...

    Hi Merc, Sonypvl3.sys is a component of the Sony DRM rootkit... The only way to get it, is if she own's a couple Sony CD's which have the DRM modules. I take it you've added "devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1" as one of the environment variables, gone into device manager, enabled "Show Hidden...

    Too Late?

    Well, it appears that SR is on a definite down-hill slide. Quite a few regulars are no longer posting... Could that be due to more of an issue of SR hasn't done a review in some time? Or some of the censorship that has driven down on the forums, or the increased spam within the forum (which...

    PC Gaming = World of Suck

    Actually that sounds like the last LAN I was at, played RvS for roughly 3 hours, then fired up Quake3 for deathmatch action for the final 3-4 hours of game play. The last Q3 round went for 90minutes! (Tourney3 Map, Max bots to make additional players, no time limit, and first to 999 frags! Try...

    And this one is for the late Sunday afternoon drinking session, when you have some nice ladies in attendance! All you need is Vodka (good quality), limes, white sugar and water. (And some ice) There are no measurements for this one, as it depends on how strong you like your drink. Normally 1...

    PC Gaming = World of Suck

    Actually 1 game that I've picked up recently is Rainbow Six: Raven Shield. I got to play it at a LAN party I went to recently, and pretty much enjoyed it. While it's a FPS, it's more tactics based and slow moving, nothing like Quake, Doom or Unreal. Bought a copy for AU$10 at a local EB Games...

    IE 7 and page design

    Tell me about it... Just finished developing a website for a friend (I'm no pro developer, just know enough PHP and SQL to be dangerous), and found that 20% of the CSS had to be tweaked to make the site work with IE7... works fine in IE5.5, IE6, Firefox 1.5 and 2.0, Opera and Konquerer... but...

    This is a little OT... Actually Sechs, that sort of comment reminds me of when I was at McChucks (aka McDonalds) on the weekend... One of my friends had ordered a burger, but had to be made fresh... You know, sorry sir, that'll be a 2 minute wait. Anyway, the girl brings out the burger to our...

    Mormons Knocking at Your Door?

    I recently had some Mormons come knocking at my door, 2 absolute hot chicks (around 19-20, blonde, size 8 (american size 6), 5"5', well developed womanly curves, and not wearing too much - well it was a nice 29-30C, sun shining, etc). Anyway, it seems that to get new converts they were using the...

    MP3 Player (what to buy)?

    Stupid me, stuffed up the FourCC signature. (Had it set to FMP4, and not DIVX) It'll play just about any MPEG4 stream, provided that the FourCC is set to DIVX, and the res is 320x240, no more than 384Kbps (video), and audio is 44.1Khz @ 128Kbps (mp3). Another problem, and this one lays...

    MP3 Player (what to buy)?

    Well, went out and had a look and play with a whole stack of different models, including those listed above. End the end I bought the iRiver Clix, and managed to get the accessory kit thrown in for no cost (normally AU$30). The accessory includes protective screen silks, an arm band (for those...

    MP3 Player (what to buy)?

    Just as a quick follow on. Both the Creative and iRiver products listed don't support UMS (USB Mass Storage aka you can't mount the devices as a drive), so are limited to using the MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) to sync music to/from the device. eg you need WMP10 or WMP11 to use those products...

    Hi ddrueding, It's good to see some familiar names here! Admittedly I've been pretty quiet recently (on all boards I'm a member of), more lurking than posting. As for *BSD compatibility, I'm pretty sure if you can use Linux, then *BSD won't be a problem...

    Well, with Christmas upon us, I've finally decided to get myself an mp3 player as a present for myself. I've looked around, but with the market now flooded with different models, not too sure what's good, what's crap and what will work with my setup... Most reviews don't focus on the nitty...
