uh, for good reason. if i write an open source windows app should microsoft then be required to release the source for the entire windows api? open source has a problem, SOFTWARE doesn't. nothing's stopping somebody from selling a 100% legal linux dvd player (in binary form) except the fact...

a better question may be, 'what percentage of windows sales aren't from store-bought systems or retail-packaged upgrades?' answer: not close to a majority. you're speaking for the vocal minority of people who build their systems (or have them built), get oem copies of windows, and intend to...

you may also not want to install foxserv because it is a complete installation of apache with perl, PHP, mysql, python, and more using a single installable package. quoth their home page: "As we are working on Apache 3.1x, We will add the folowing features into the package." apache 3.1x...

no it's not. when i bought a dvd i couldn't get a replacement copy for a couple bucks if i lost it, and there weren't officialized high-quality versions available for pc use. ditto cds. my proposal is a step further than fair use, and makes physical loss/breakage a lot less worrysome. if...

more appropriately, go ask adobe if they'd like to ship an os with photoshop. ask id if they'd like to ship an os with quake. retail copies can be legally transferred. what defines a 'system' on oem licensing is also open to interpretation. law? there's been a ruling on it, which sets a...

drugs don't usually become toxic or anything, they just become ineffective over time just buy some new stuff dude, i'm sure you can get mad prescriptions for the work you're getting done

$20/year? come on dude, you paid more than that for your heat sink/fan, and how much of your system does that comprise? now how much does your OPERATING SYSTEM comprise? without something common binding stuff together everybody would be busy inventing their own wheel instead of producing the...

i agree. i only wish the dvd release followed by the extended dvd release followed by the director's cut dvd release shit would come to a close. dvds are relatively cheap to manufacture too. looking at material costs is very myopic. scouting, recording, marketing, promoting...a lot goes into...

i have 0 official IT education as well. i've also never set foot in a college classroom, and i barely graduated from high school. does that exonerate me? :) honestly, i hate the idea of all 'brain teasers', so as soon as i determine something is one i simply quit.

The Express installation can be significantly faster to download than the Network installation. The Express installation detects the service pack files that are already installed on your computer. It then installs only those files that need to be updated. You must stay connected to the Internet...

i would love to see this

oh, also tried just hitting 'submit'

is this just some password guessing thing? i can't pass the idiot test: i tried password, level1, hack, etc then just quit

well, that's still assuming it would be made an article here, which is not acknowledged or confirmed i'm going to add details but that's as far as i got last night. as far as how detailed i will go, it probably won't be much, just specifics on how i ran the tests (what patch levels, what...

it's still probably the most common one in use. i'm not encoding for quality, just for metrics.

read the site lunar :)

http://www.badbeat.com/ram/ looking much better :)

do it on the machine opening the web broswer local host file is in %WINDOWS%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

yeah i don't like it either. i'm just trying to make it as 'quick big picture' as possible. i really don't like it because of the weighting of stuff like aida32 and winrar, how dramatic their differences are despite the fact that it's not a desktop user metric. if i had a number of other...

lol...

...and for clarification, my proposal is to make an actual article out of it to be discussed in the forum, not simply post it to the forum.

one more thing: the corsair pc3700 uses new samsung ics (which are super-relaxed latency; made to run 3-3-8-4 pc3700, and won't even do lower than that at pc3200), and cas3 is an actual option in the ic7's bios. intel making that mean '2.5' is possible.

cityk: grab results.txt from the web site - it actually formatted properly :) and thanks for the detailed info. fwiw, at 2225/2.8v/ddr400 the hyperx pc3500 could pass anything (memtest loops, prime95 torture test, etc) without barfing. groltz: don't read it out of guilt :) i did the...

pae? :)

nope

if i were you my aim would be to get the highest ddr clock possible, and then using that ddr clock get the tightest timings possible

are the chips on your value ram winbond bh-6? if so, with enough volts, you could easily run pc2700 at tight timings

funny you should mention... http://storageforum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2400

have you used pcmark?

note: the activity, especially the jpegs, could increase traffic quite a bit. the jpegs need to be available just to provide validity.

the domain name is a bit, uh, limiting :) anyway i wrote this overclocking piece up for the overclockers and hardocp forums, haven't posted it yet. if you want me to html-ize it and host the pics here, i'm game. i'm only proposing this in response to the 'how do we get more people on here'...

i would call that missing the point the goal is to get a valid all-encompassing metric, and the means is to use multiple, specific tools to come up with an average (as opposed to a singular averaging benchmark that doesn't measure any individual thing particularly well)

*cough* for all-around benchmarking i think several purpose-built, good tools is appropriate. when i benchmark my systems i use 3dmark2001 se, quake 3 1.32 demo four, winrar compression of a 200mb file, superpi 4m (calculates 4 million digits of pi), aida32, atto, and winbench 99 if i had...

skins being considered innovation

i believe slashdot already killed that one, look at their thread on it

it has to do with how clever his nat device is. if he's trying to go to his external address by name it does the following: dns lookup on the name (resolves to his external ip) his system (using a lan address) sends the request to his nat device's lan address (since it's set as the default...

disables the directory listings everyone's been seeing - those are an auto-generated option by apache

well my jbs were in raid1 on a 3ware controller. 3ware controllers are treated as scsi, so i had the whole 2k/xp scsi mess... their new firmware/drivers improved things a bit. to answer both questions at once it feels decidedly better than the jbs, and i'm not disappointed with the...

take 'Indexes' off of your Options line(s)

lol :)

i believe he's saying the opposite - there is tons of room for innovation, but nobody is innovating

what kind of 64bit server? iis/filesharing? until sql64, exchange64, etc exist it's not useful for serving that kind off stuff. apache can handle a slashdotting with a modicum of hardware already.

right, and i don't suspect he was buying it for a server...

no pics?

sr doesn't use iometer because they don't consider it a consistent metric of use...

i like inappropriate web sites

it never hurts to use lcd and crt together...

the performance of all known shipping drives is identical to that of the beta firmware tested by sr, not the final firmware tested by sr. the allegation is that sr received a 'golden' firmware rev. http://www.storagereview.com/articles/200303/20030320WD360GD_2.html demonstrates the biggest...

just lucky timing i guess :) i'm 25 and i've been in chatrooms/bbses/forums since i was about 12, so my touch typing skills (never learned proper typing) have gotten pretty extreme.

this is all over sr i, too, have a 'beta performance' raptor
