The site was down again this evening.

I don't understand why the need for a specialty high-gause permanent magnet. Isn't it much easier and cheaper to produce high-gause magnetic fields with a high current slow cycling electro magnet? At least, with an electro-magnet, one can turn it off: who wants to carry around a 125 Lb...

Unless the IRS has assigned your company a Tax ID, it would be your personal SSN as a sole propertership.

Try an ATI Radeon 9600 (AGP). You can get them fanless and they are plenty capable.

So what you are saying is that you like being a troll -- inciting arguement just for the sake of pissing people off. Well I for one, don't appreciate your attitude.

Nope, never heard of him.

The drivers simulate the SCSI command set. The SCSI interface into the OS is well known so the programmers of the drivers simply use that API. So when something fails, the OS reports a SCSI error that will percolate back upto the user.

In Oregon, all it takes to be legit is a corporate "doing business as" license: Total cost $25 every 5 years.

I don't believe in spanned volumes in Windows any more than raid-0: It's too risky because if one drive dies, the entire volume fails. One needs very good backups, just in case. My solution has been to assign partions to paths, as opposed to drive letters. As long as no single directory...

The writer has removed the article, saying that it had become a rallying point for Windows detractors and that was not what he wanted. All that remains are the comments by others.

It was always my understanding that the justification for the high prices of x2 processors has been a capacity issues: AMD could sell all they could make at those prices. If that assumption was true, AMD must be expecting an immediate massive demand drop from the Conroe to justify that amount...

I have the distinct feeling, after several days of no posts, that I've put a very wet blanket on this discussion. Sorry

I woundn't feel anything -- I'd be dead.

Evolution is about the strong (of your own species) surviving and the weak (of your own species) dying out and the changes over time that process has on ones own species. It has nothing to do with the might makes right philosophy of doing whatever you want to do against a weaker...

huh, what are you talking about? Killing or dominating lessor species has nothing to do with Evolution. Evolution is a theory about how life internally changes over time to adapt to its enviornment. Are you really trying to argue that a mass-murder is an evolutionary improvement?

I have absolutely no desire to see what the future unfolds as. From what I know and what I can forsee, it'll be bad. Very very bad. Luckily, I'm old enough that I am unlikely to see the worst of it. I'm not a half-empty type of guy. From where I sit it looks to me as the glass is rushing...

Just in case anyone has any further doubts: I'm a tree hugger and prowd of it. I think that if the Human Race wants to survive, then they need to switch to a tree hugger philosophy (mighty quick) where other life forms have a right to live too. It really is best for us, if the non humans do...

unique is to very unique as being "pregnant" is to being "very pregnant". Every Woman knows the difference -- Q.E.D.

Nothing there, or nearby -- Do with what you like. But there had really better be nothing there and that is virtually impossible to prove. Especially since we really don't know what life looks like elsewhere. Native species - Totally hands off. What we did to the American Indian is not...

You are taking a very unique ecosystem and converting it into an inland sea. Biodiversity will suffer! There is an awefull lot of life with a very limited ability to change. Deserts have uniquely adapted life, even if you don't directly observe it and this is a "special" desert that gets...

Why assume that Australia will get drier? Are there specific models for Aus. that say this? The general rule is that as the temp increases; the capacity for the air to hold water increases and thereby when the air releases its water via rain, there will be more of it i.e. Warmer -> Wetter...

Rather than deleting the account, can't you de-activate. That way, the posts and PM's remain but the account can't be accessed. If there are no problems after X amount of time, then delete.

I'll shut up then: I wouldn't want to offend.

I've had very good support from Kensington makers of expensive trackballs and mice. Specifcly, they warrentee their equip for 5 years which is an eternity. In the past, I've had multiple RMA's and its always been a pleasure (They simply cross-ship replacements at no cost). Well, in a way you...

Where's the PS -- Does it not push air out the back? As with many front mounted fan locations there may be apparent vetiliation holes. Regardless, there may be air gaps that allow for air flow that are just not very visible. It would be much better if the holes were easy to spot but it is...

In all the desktop cases I have seen, there has been an 80mm fan mounting point in the front left in addition to the PS fan. It may be worth adding a fan there. Another alternative would be to mount a HD fan in a surplus external bay, even if there is no HD mounted there. Another option is a...

I won't disagree, but then you should include it in the spec.

Regardless of the previous Artic Silver installation there is something wrong with temps at that level, even with horrible stock fans. Perhaps it was installed too thick (The stuff acts as an insulator if there is too much). I suggest that some experimentation is justified, if for no other...

As little as I like the tactics that he RIAA uses, I think they have a point when defending their copyrights against mass infrigements. They really need to discourage stealing on a mass scale. To effect change on a mass scale, they need teeth and they need lots of very negative publicity as...

I'm sorry, but as long as flash has a limited number of write cycles, I think people are buying into planned obselence. A bad plan when dealing with peoples data: That includes Flash SSD's and Flash assist HD's but excludes thumb drives because I see those as temporary storage.

They still need an OS and that should be included in the price. At that price point, I really think you've done good. Think of the reality, when people are pricing machines down there, for the most part they are looking at used P2-P3's. As slow as these are gonna be, they still are much...

If you have a Barton 2500 at 71 while idling, I'd hate to think of what it is like during operation. Perhaps, you need to do some thermal surgery with a little Artic Silver. While this little program may do the job while idling, I seriously doubt it will help when operating and that is where...

No, put a male clod next to a female clod in a basement, alone, and there will be spontanous fusion. In aprox 9 months, there will be a baby clod; two years and there will be two baby clods; in 5 years there will be four baby clods...

I am truely impressed by the quantity and quality of the searchable information being offered by these universities and every bit of it is free to anyone. MIT John Hopkins Utah State University Tufts -- For those that wish other languages -- 156 Chinese Universities Paris Tech A bunch of...

In theory, putting both companies into the same RAM format should decrease RAM costs because of increased ecconomies of scale. So even without a performance improvement it should be benificial. However, that benefit, like performance, may be negligible. We'll just have to wait and see. I...

I really am not knowlegable about video formats, containers, or anything in that sphere. That's the reason for asking for help here. The only other video format on the machine were mpg's and they worked fine. Except when I converted an AVI to DiVX and also when I simply renamed the extension...

I really liked "Thank you for smoking" and was rather disappointed in "Inside Man".

By the way, the inplace reinstall solved the problem. I even reapplied all the Windows upgrades one at a time (just to see if I could find the cause) and it still worked...

I quit paying attention to RAM prices a long time ago. Prices go up, prices go down in rather unpredictable ways with lots of rumors as to why. If you really need price stability then increase the price of your systems to incorporate the risk.

Are you talking about Bush or Hu Jintao? Way to go in resurrecting an old thread.

Yes, they issue RMA's quickly (2-4 days) and easily through the web. But unfortunately, when doing a repair of a customer's system I can't wait for the Gigabyte support system to send a repaired/replacement MB (6-8 weeks): I need to have a working replacement in the time frame of about 1 week...

Where is a good store to purchase replacement/reburbished motherboards? Specificly I'm looking for Ga-7N400 Pro2 (Rev 2) and Ga-7nnxp and I'm not seeing them any of my usual places.

Have you considered that the duplicate keystrokes may be neuralogic in origin and the solution is -- JUST STOP IT!

Here's another piece of the puzzle: The acidification of the oceans I was not very optimistic before and while I did watch the same show, it just made me more pesimistic. I have yet to see anything happening on an appropiately global scale that gives me any hope at all. From what I have seen...

I have not tried burning a CD with an AVI on it. However, last night I did successfully convert an AVI to a DiVX. Same problem -- The Divx was playable on the server but not accessible over the network. Tonight, I'm gonna do a inplace reinstall to SP0 from SP1 and see if that helps. That...

I don't see how IE settings would be pertainant: This has nothing to do with the web. Rather than uninstalling umteen godzillion updates (none of which seem to apply to the specific problem); I think an inplace reinstall would work better. I'm still waiting for a recomendation as to a AVI ->...

I agree with ddrueding, a short in the front panel frying your motherboard. Even if the MB works now, I'd classify it as unreliable at least untill there is some other more definative problem identified. And, no, I would not be trying that front panel on other MB's unless they are classified...

This is definately outside my field of expertise, so I'll ask... I have a business customer that has an extensive video collection that is watched over their network and stored on a single server running Windows 2003 Server. At some point, I assume, some form of DRM was installed because they...

I'm sorry, but I don't see the problem here. As long as the support program has proper inventory, the turnaround time should not be an issue. It takes no more hoops, or turnaround time, the first day, than the last to get service. Further, as long as the processor was reasonable and there...

And my point was that I am smart enough to Decrapify my Dell and I am also smart enough to have bought Dell when it was appropiate and further, I can see a point for ot6hers to buy Dell too.
