Sun claims that Windows 2003 Server (Standard and Enterprise) are supported. I agree that they have potential. Unfortunately they are not offered in anything other than rack-mount: Me annoyed with this limitation.

Tannin, If you want to do Macro work I suggest that get yourself the Canon 100mm Macro Lens. It's designed for it and works well for that purpose. Zoom lenses need to have some distance from their subject and because of that they tend not to have a high enough magnification factor thus...

Aren't you just talking about the magnification factor of the CMOS sensor (In a rather complex way)?

Just think of the number of CPU's that you could be folding with for the money you spent on your camera equipment...

Some of us non-professionals have budgetary constraints for our hobbies.

I have to admit that my 100-400 L f4.0-5.6 IS is, by far, my favorite lens. If, I'm planning to take only one lens, that is the one I choose. As to digital SLR's - I haven't found one that I want and can afford: That one is just plain way too expensive at $7000 US (Ds1 Mk II).

Just because you can do it, does not mean that there aren't better easier ways...

P.S. You will need the Original Windows key because this is an install and it won't proceed without it...

An In-place re-install keeps the old registry intact so that all the applications remain installed. Boot to the CD; Refuse the first offer to repair; Accept the 2nd and it should simply reinstall the OS on top of the current OS. All HW gets re-discovered and It will reinstall all OS supplied...

Have you tried an in-place reinstall of the OS? I've often found that that often fixes that which I can't figure out what the problem is.

There are two teams that are not counted - Default and Google. They both contain people that are running FAH but do not specify a valid team. If someone is runnning the Google client then they are attached to Google and if they are running any other client then they get attached to default.

Get your Gasoline now, for tomorrow will be too late.

My next suggestion is to re-tweak her network settings. I've seen applications optimize them for dial-up modems causing large scale speed problems.

I've never used the program but I have noticed ISP's (Especially cable systems that have limited up-speeds) that will limit BW availiable for specific applications like WinMX. My solution has been to change the default port number. Is that possible on bit-torrent?

I've had good luck with Dell's; I currently have two 3.2 P4 8400's and a 3.2 P4 SC420 and further I have yet to pay more that $500 total for machine and the needed tweaks (like upping the ram to 1GB). However, I think you need to know enough to know what you are getting and what is a good...

The point spike that people that carefully watch the stats are seeing is from F@H crediting everyone for a variety of WU's that previously were not properly credited. Enjoy your new found points while they last.

3rded - Business class means always up. Bussinesses can't afford to be down for any extended amount of time: It costs too much money.

Now you know something, about him, that can be useful (for your pocket book). He's, like so many shallow people, interested in flash rather than substance. Start selling him clear cases with UV sensitive stuff and LED fan's. Don't forget to remind him of his need to keep up with the Joneses...

You know what females say about "ours is bigger than yours frame of thinking". It has to do with overcompensating for the size of your Penis...

If the CPU is dead then nothing happens (including beep codes and any form of fan Movement). The CPU runs the bios ROM to self boot and a dead CPU means no code gets run and nothing happens. Now bent/broken pins may mean anything from does not matter and cpu runs fine thru to totally dead with...

I don't see this as pointless at all.

Don't know, didn't try. The UPS's are way past any warrentee and I'm not the original owner (Bought them used). It doesn't hurt to ask though.

a Dual Opteron 246 and a dual Athlon 1.9MP (Two computers, 4 processors). The Opteron because someon else decided that F@H might cause problems at some time (There was no indication of anything, but you never know). Hey, it was a production server and the removal of risk is a legitimate...

You're just going to BAM take it up a notch. Me, I'm annoyed because I've lost 4 processors from the effort...

First, get yourself a dual-core Athlon64. If there are budgetary constraints then an 3800+ X2 For performance, more RAM (4GB). Everything that can be cached will speed up compile times because your machine won't have to go to the hard drives. Cached data is easily 10x faster than HD speed...

I am finding my WD1200JB's and WD2500JB's are now starting to fail in large quantities (just outside thier warrentee period). I'm also finding that many of the drives bought from internet retailers are "outside their region" and not warrenteed in the US: Grrrr With time, I'm getting more and...

My main complaint about Cyrix was not if they worked or didn't but rather the extrodinary number of unscrupulous people (in my area of the country) that would sell a machine with a Cyrix processor as a machine with an Intel processor with the customer totally unknowing. These budget machines...

I'm reasonably sure it won't fit. Even if it did, you would still have to replace the ATX power supply with an AT PS and those are different sized too.

How about cutting up spammers and placing them in small cans to be marketted to the US military as the next generation of infinite shelf-life meat product.

It was my understanding that the perpendicular recording technology was to be first used at the 160GB level (except for the 1 inch format) and the lower sized drives being introduced at the same time are simply getting the free marketting of guilt by association.

and once again slowing down the RPM's to make it into a slug that no one will want. Preaty soon, I expect the RPM's to be back at the 3600 range like they were in the 80's.

Sure you can, bronze it first. Then supply the bronze to WDC. The proof is that many people and corporations do it every day. Ask president Bush's administration about WMD or prisoner abuse and you will find one super big golden polished turd: they have created an art form of not merely...

I feel your pain. It's a pain i've felt before and one I undoubtly will again and I know of no good solution other than buying motherboards only from retailers that have a retail level warrentee or from distributators that have blanket "don't care why" return policies because motherboard...

No, you have a perfect right to filter what people see off your own web site. If you want to descriminate between visitors and search engines then that seems fine with me: It is your data, not theirs or the publics...

I don't know but the rules for recording calls may be signifigently different in the land of Oz than the land of milk and honey.

The problem is that when calling tech-support, you need them more than they need you...

I have several of different varieties of intel cards and they definitely support jumbo frames. I like them but they are expensive compared to the competition.

Intel Pro 1000Mt

Microsoft has not had much legitimacy for quite a long time. It exists to make money! If it makes more $$$ by permitting spyware than not -- Then that is the position it will take.

From the F@H Forums (Last post in the thread)

Yes, you can have multiple instances of F@H running. The same setups is to be used with dual cores as with Hyper-Treaded P4's. You need to make sure that both instances are stored in seperate folders. The each have to have different machine #'s too.

Why would I want 6x 25 CD-Roms? Or 6x 15% coupons off IBM equip? All six of my Deskstars still work.

Why do you absolutely require a color small laser - What about small inkjets?

Can't say that I do, never having had a SuperMicro case. Why would they have full-sized 5 1/4 plates? Every case since the original IBM PC has used 1/2 height plates rather than full-height plates. The only time I've delt with full-height plates was dealing with full-height drives (They...

After a several month layoff, I started playing again about two weeks ago on the plea's of those that I used to play with. Long live ventrillo! That which makes COH a more social game.

Yes, that was Vincent Price doing a bit on Alice Cooper's Welcome to my Nightmare on the specific song Black Widow. In the early 70's it was my favorite Album. I did say lots of different choices. I can only say that you need to work on your industry acronyms. When I've had difficulties...

Doesn't matter as long as the problems on drive E: are still repeatable: The new event logs will probably have errors in them too.

Make sure all of the settings in the advanced properties of the network card in the Device manager are set properly. Some Gigabit Network cards have tons of properties that can be mis-set "causing intense pain, profuse sweating, difficulty in breathing, loss of conscious, and finally death"...

Merc., Consider yourself warned...
