My guess is that the creation date for the user's folder in the "documents and settings" folder would work as an easy solution. If it is not natively displayed, simply right click the column settings in the documents and settings window.

I'm sorry but contrary to the popular view here, I see a usefull market served by Dell. I would much prefer seeing all those people that buy white box machines from Office Depot, Circuit City, and the like, buying Dell which in my opinion is a better, or at least an equivilent, product at a...

We need help, especially since some prominent folders seem to have ceased: Like CougTek, ddrueding, Santilli.

The $20 cases don't typically come with PS's

Doesn't it depend on the shape of the litre? You can put a lot more feet in something that is 1.2m x .32m x .002625m than something .08m x.08m x 1.56m

I'm starting to think that the OS needs to monitor its own validity and be self-repairing, so that nothing that is not of the OS can claim to be part of the OS. Of course, to prevent external incorporation into the monitoring and self-repair process it would have to be encrypted.

The machine is running Windows 2003 Server. Yes, it could go dual core and operate with 8 cores but the cost of upgrading it isn't justified considering it is way over powered for what it does right now. Currently, it is running 4x846 (an 846 is roughly a 2800).

Celerons D's are just plain slow: My experiance is that they make XP 2500's look and feel speedy. I'd go for the Semperon 2500 every time even though it is slower than an XP 2500+ because it is not that much slower (I'd say it is roughly equivilent to a 2300+ XP) I disagree with Tannin, P4's...

We now have "Free Viagra" as a new member too. The spammers have a new way of inside. Even if they leave, the names stays attached to our team: We have no ability to remove members.

It appears that Dell was sending me the correct PS's, but they were switched to 240V operation. They refused to allow me to switch it myself (It had a seal over the switch), but I did anyway and by golly, it worked. What a pain, for such a simple solution.

Neat concept but I can't see how can he maintain the current drivers for virtually everything.

I just noticed a new member (FuckBag): of which I could live without.

Feel free to delete the duplicate post and this one too...

The machine isn't critical and even beyond that, it runs fine with the old PS because it is only a noisey fan and they commonly operate for months like that before failure. Replacing the PS with a standard is not possible -- Dell likes to run custom wiring to the MB to ensure that both the PS...

3 passes or overnight is what I typically run for memtst. If you really want to stress a system, for stability, I use folding@Home: It seems to detect problems far more reliabily than any other stress tester that I've used. It's major flaw is that while it seems to be particularly sensative...

I have, amoung several computers, a Dell Dimension 8400. In the course of human events, the power supply fan is getting noisey and I called Dell Tech Support for a, parts only, PS replacement. I have no problem with dealing with the individuals: They were universally courtous and the calls...

While technically possible and with the cavot that I have never delt Starforce, I am really suspicious of his claims. 1. You're telling that SF resides and loads from MBR 2. You're telling that SF occupies HDD partition tables 3. You're telling that SF spreads through network drives...

God forbid the concept of snail-mail as a communication solution for sending things like invoices ...

just to disagree, on principal -- Purple

Huh?

3com has never recovered from the buying of USRobotics; Just like Novel never recovered from buying WordPerfect. It seems, from these examples, that one really really bad purchase can take down what otherwise was a great company.

Conroe is what competition does. Before, Intel had no real competition and then AMD produced the Athlon followed by the Athlon64. Suddenly, Intel was losing market share and the result, is the Conroe... From what I can tell of the AMD published plans, they are still coasting because there is...

Adaptec used to make notebook SCSI adapters. Then, of course, you still need an OS that can mount the drive and read it -- Linux on the notebook? Then you can transfer the data from the notebook to the PC. With that in mind, what about a SCSI adapter placed in the P4 machine. Set up a second...

Or simply for $197+: PC Power and Cooling 510 SLI with 38A on the 12V rail For those that need overkill and have price insensative budgets of $449+: PC Power and cooling 850 with 54A on the three seperate 12V rails. For those that have unlimited ($489+) budgets: PC Power and Cooling 1KW...

The maximum die-temp for an 1800+ is 90 degrees centigrade.

100% Right! I didn't even consider Tilt-shift lenses. They will help the situation if you can get enough magnification.

I find this interesting. I have 9 machines at home built very similarly with tower Antec cases instead of desktop cases, Radeon 9600's instead of 7000 and one server being a Enlight 8950 case and one old generic tower case. With Barton 2500's and retail fans the CPU temps under 100% folding...

While I have no experiance with Vonage, it may be as simple as QOS issues that they are refering to. VOIP really needs real-time priortizing to work well and most home routers do not support prioritizing traffic (Well some of the newer ones now do but we are generalizing home routers). Which...

I'd go, but they aren't appearing in my state ....

It is always nice to have a very fast lens, highly stopped down to give you an increased focal range. But, the range will still be very small, no matter what the lens. So, when doing macro work, you need to learn that blowing through the focal range of the lens is gonna happen. Effectively...

Not here

Yes, I did shoot some that are totally wide open: I actually prefered the stop sign look. The color blotches are totally round rather than hexagonal but the moire rings (if that is what they are) still exist. To my knowledge this is film so there is no scanning involved. Theoretically, it...

FDR and his 4 terms of office prompted the 22nd amendment. What has changed since then and now - People have forgotten what it was like to have a political machine that can't be challenged. Is it merely a ploy -- Of course it is a political ploy. It means nothing because there isn't a...

My guess is that it had something to do with this article from E-Week and was probably pulled because of inaccuracies. The E-Week article does not implicate Sony and tells of a copy protection scheme "like" a rootkit on a German version of Mr. & Mrs Smith.

I checked, yes the article was pulled. It claimed that a rootkit had been detected on a specific German DVD movie (I forget the specific title) from Sony BMG.

And will Sony ever learn their lesson:Sony is creating rootkits on their DVD movies

Merc. note This provision has nothing to do with reliability -- If your machine is broken, then this does not apply. I would hope that if you contacted M$ they would then allow activation if told that the replacement is because of damage. Rather it has to do with people upgrading. If I...

Eating live Jewish babies is a myth: They are always killed first: Less noisey that way.

Lets not bicker about the specific problem. Does it really matter if it is global warming; pollution; destruction of the eco-system... The end result is the same, how you get there is irrelevant. Besides, those are simply symptoms of the real problem -- The world has too many people combined...

Me, I'd be waiting for the new AMD socketts before investing in anything. That extra bandwidth for DDR2 may be worth waiting for when dealing with multiple core processors.

Just as an incidental P=VI = (120V) (3A) = 360W and that is well within the 510W PS you have (Which is a very high quality unit). Also, there is some reliability gains by picking mirrored 500GB drives over multiple smaller drives. But, without some indication of a problem, there is nothing to...

No, they've been in existance for a long time. The new ones are mostly above 2100.

Lets get this back on track with another Joke of the day

Both CPU's can be big WU's: The only problem with that was with QMD's and they are gone.

I think he means the Special Olympics.

I exist, therefore you don't. You are all a figment of my imagination. I deny your existance. Time to wake up.

I'm proud to have voted ABB - "Anyone but Bush" in the last two elections and especially the last one once he had a track record established of making very poor decisions. Now there were limits to that (A religous fanatic could possibly be worse) but fortunately the limits were never tested.
