I seek a solution that compares and then reports the differences in content between two directories, including the contents within their subdirectories. Directories being compared are in NTFS volumes. Can anyone suggest an NT based app or cmdline that will perform such a task ...

They never seem big enough to fit any of the connectors through them. Am I missing something?

This one revolves around the downloading of xml based tv listings for an EPG. The goal is to completely automate this by placing the batch file in the Startup folder. What I would like the batch file to do is: - check to see if listings for the current date exists; if they do exist then the...

The new aria sff case outlined in this pdf will probably become available fairly soon. I like the fact that you can fit a mATX board in there, as opposed to some proprietary sized one. Don't care for the blue illumination though. It will be interesting to see what the insides look like...

Martha guilty on all remaining counts.

1 ) This first question deals with the concept of portability. Namely, I would like to be able to run a batch file contained on a regular (i.e. non bootable) CD-Rom, and running under a Win32 environment, on different systems. The batch file will be calling two programs that are also...

Ever install capture drivers and then get a temporary Local Area Connection 2, due to Microsoft TV/Video Connection? First time it ever occured for me (or at least that I happened to notice). A google search came up with a couple of hits. Interestingly, the quickest explaination I obtained...

I put together a budget system for a friend last night (actually its intended for his sister's oldest son, but anyways) and used an Antec 2600AMG case. I had heard about people mentioning how easy the paint job gets scratched on some of the newer Antec cases (in particular, our very own Blake...

Anyone hear or know if this is visable?

Thunderbird v0.5 soon, Firebird v0.8 soon too!

Based upon the well known memory diagnostic tool memtest86 (written by Chris Brady, but not updated since mid '02), Memtest86+ offers compatibility with the latest platforms and also provides some new useful features. Memtest86+, like the original, is released under the terms of the Gnu Public...

presented at the top of this page. Is that the default theme with Mozila?

Details in this news posting: http://www.cdfreaks.com/news/8861 .... Of course this by no means implies that they will make it available.

Although I think someone might have once alluded to this, but I thought it worthwhile to post: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=20055 Its a speed demon now! (and I'm not joking).

KennyShin posted LiteOn's intended '04 roadmap. 16x SATA dual layer dual fomat....very nice.

My annual "I hate winter" rant. This winter has (so far) been very mild, and this is all much to my liking. For example, last Saturday's high was an uncharacteristic 14C. I certainly can live with that. Today's high is some retardedly low number. Right now (although beautifully sunny), its...

For those of you who dabble in video capping, I just discovered that huffy was updated last month. Here's the update info, and this short thread provides some insight on a new feature

This is something that I've been curious about for a while: You know the front panel USB ports that many cases come with (example), is there anything about them that inherently makes them "2.0" or are they all just a conduit to the motherboard (whose controller would then determine whether it...

Here's a new spin on P2P networks. In the other very related news, I find it quite interesting that "the ruling will not help those previously identified". The first thing I thought of when I saw that appeals court decision was "I wonder what's going to happen with all those cases of...

A friend of mine has a Mac G4 which only has a DVD-Rom drive. He's not very computer literate but he is into music quite a bit and so wanted to get a CD-RW drive to burn his own CDs. He purchased a LiteOn and, being clueless about how to install it, called on me for help. I know nothing...

Link The part that really caught my attention is

A couple of little questions, which don't matter for myself, but are in regards to setting AVG up on a computer whose user, if left unprotected, probably falls in a higher risk category for viral infection. 1) In the readme file that accompanies the d/l, it states Yet there is no such batch...

EAC rips music from CDs. If you want to do it right, you use EAC. I'll let the links do the technical explaining what is so good about it and why you should use EAC as opposed to anything else. You will also find quick start guides at the below links, as all of EAC's options can be hard to...

burnatonce is a free for non-commercial use burning app. In essence, its a windows frontend for cdrdao and mkisofs. Its awesome. It undergoes contant developement. It has a support forum. Its full featured. Its help/manual takes little time to read. Its brain dead easy to use. It doesn't...

Ummm, what's the difference between this Feurio! and this Feurio!, other then the fact that the former's webpage seems to be stuck in '95 mode. CK

Does anyone know of the existence of a comprehensive reference database for graphic cards? You can literally turn your back on the GPU scene for a month and then turn around only to discover that there is likely 6 new iterations of GPUs offered by both Nvidia and ATI. Problematically for the...

So I've got Kerio Personal Firewall v4.0.6 up and running and I'm highly impressed. Nice interface and features. Notes: - this version is still classified as a beta, but its perfectly stable for me, and I imagine that they will release it as a non beta version very soon. - comes with full...

So I'm about to try the latest version of kerio personal firewall. However, I notice in that d/l directory that there is a ".sig" file accompanying each new version released since Aug 18th. Now before I install kpf, I would love to figure out what the .sig file is for. Although I imagine...

I know Blake wrote a while back about his amazement that the Acrobat plugin stays resident in mem even after closing the browser. This is something I don't really like either. However, within the last two weeks I've come across an even more annoying feature of "AcroRd32.exe" - it now wants to...

Does anyone know offhand which manufacturers employ the "best before" type scam with their refill cartridges. A friend of mine who just picked up a 4MP digicam is looking to get a printer for causal (i.e. non professional) pics that he would be taking. He is aware that the cost of the printer...

Okay, so I have a cousin who recently bought (despite my advice not to) a Toshiba laptop, preloaded with XP Home, from FutureShop. Although I didn't bother to enquirer as to what the final price tag was (in order to save giving myself a stroke), she said that she got it for a good price (which...

Well I've had a terrible night - next to no sleep and had to take my dog into an emergency veterinary clinic early this morning. He's been having a bit of difficulty lately, and Cushings disease (its a tumour of either the adrenal gland or pituitary; pituitary in this case) is strongly...

This short (mainly pictoral) article seems to be generating a lot of interest across the net today. Pretty interesting. I hope some knowledgable sorts will end up scrutinizing the method and results. Note: the link may be a little slow, I think they're probably getting swamped. CK

Ever notice that some days you can be a complete klutz. Today I think I tripped like 12 times or something. But the best part of today was when I spilled my glass of orange juice on my desk. It was almost like I was watching the event unfold in slow motion. I knew my hand was going to...

If your ISP provides servers to host customers personal webpages/spaces, who handles website security - is it all up to the security features in place on the ISP's network or does the customer have to take security features into consideration while constructing their personal page? Basic...

In the past, I found that many of the MD5sum programs that were supposed to work with windows (either GUI or CMD line) just didn't. Enter WinMD5 - this little gem does what it says. Drag and drop, brain dead simple. Current version is 1.2 http://www.handhelds.org/z/wiki/WinMD5 CK...

Well I was bored last night so I decided to install the latest version of InCD. It looks nice but I didn't get very far with it. Big complaint - it has a (relatively) huge footprint. From memory, I think that the directory size was ~12MB. But the big bloat was with memory usage: -...
