Good prices.

Then you are including lots of stuff that are not part of your previous system. The closest matching system I came up with is $473 (not including the $100 rebate). The machine has a 2.8Ghz P4 instead of a Celeron! If you want DVD-Writer & speakers then you need to call Dell(those options exist...

No - Not the 2400/3000 -- Try the 400SC. An immeasurably better bargin machine.

He removed the speaker from the machine -> no bios beeps

Yes, no CPU or a bad CPU will cause no video output.

I'd say for the vast majority of people that a HW router/firewall (especially if they are using NAT with an interior privite IP (non-routable) addresses such as 192.168.x.x) is adequate as long as they have quality anti-virus and anti-spyware. They really do a good job blocking out the outside...

A speaker would definately be valuable. First check your monitor and cabling Make sure that it isn't something dumb like it isn't plugged in. Then, without beep codes you really can only replace components till the problem is solved unless you happen to have a diagnostic board handy. It...

One possibility would be a duplicate DHCP server renewing everything with the wrong IP addresses.

Yes, theoretically you can spoof the IP but don't forget that when the packets get returned then routers will direct them to the spoofed IP addresses so the real location won't ever see anything. Now if the spoofing is occuring on the local loop (between you and the nearest router) then the IP...

Things that I learned - 1. Quality firewalls are a necessity and not optional to anyone that accesses the internet. Four attacks per day was four too many. I do note that the vast majority of computers don't have anything of value on them but that is really irrelevant because once inside...

That was on a Home/Business network. I had no servers or anything running externally that would attract any attention whatsoever.

I'm not surprised either. Several years ago I had a MS Proxy server directly exposed to the internet through a cable modem with only its internal firewall operating. Please note that I actually had several internal protections for my internal network so that even if the proxy server was...

You're right about the name Rosewill. I'd edit it but that is not allowed. The link still points to the correct product. The card is not the SE or the pro varieties of the 9600 but rather in-between (the original 9600). I'm also not going to say this is the best choice if you are interested...

The sale ends Sept. 8 -- For some reason nine/eight came out as a smiley

I'm a believer in the non-SE 9600 fanless varieties at the $100 price point. Matter of fact NewEgg is currently having a 1-day sale for a Roswell 9600 fanless for $65 (ends 9/8)

To my knowledge it is only M$ that has that clout: discounting those that force their customer base to beta test their software.

GMail is Google Mail; CMail is Comcast Mail; YMail is YahooMail; AMail is AOL Mail; IMail Is IBM Mail;... The current corporate better idea. The point is to de-standardize the Email system for Anti-Spam purposes; better corporate identity; and not the least -- improved profit potential with...

Even when they decide to drop down into something that is particularly hard to see/remove?

HL2 is now available (Hurray!) for PreLoading through Steam (Yuk). If you are interested in HL2 or its variations (Counter-strike) then this will be the quickest you can get it. You will also want to DL it now before the massive rush.

Disk management won't allow drive-letter changes to your boot drive or your system drive. You can attempt it via the registry in a search and replace fashion but it never seems to work right: I've always ended up with an unstable system afterwords. I've seen it happen through installing...

I have no prob with WD. It is Maxtor's that drive me bonkers.

Lets end this arguement here and now. The real reason that editing is not allowed is because I told them that I didn't want it and I am all powerful. All other explanations are simply others making excuses for their submitting to my demands. :lol:

I see little to no value in the XP-Semprons. They appear to be rebadged XP's with a different socket type that requires a new MB. What's the value over an XP? I'm not impressed. The K8 Sempron's have benefits over the K7's and XP's and thus have value. Even then, most people buy their...

I still want a working DEC PDP-8/L -- The first computer I played with and one that I have very fond memories of. I've been looking for years and have yet to find anything more than pieces.

The same complaint has been levied against me. I really feel stupid about it but facts are facts - I don't use it and thereby I don't know it well.

Can we run Folding@home on the machine?

While it really wasn't acceptable to move us without warning and with the associated loss of data. What was gained is a signifigent improvement.

HT is turned off in your MB's CMOS setup.

I much prefer SF -- Merc's worth everyone there combined.

We're back to Core memory: What is old becomes new, once again. P.S. Yes, I understand that it really isn't core at all but a much more sophisticated magnetic ram. But then I wouldn't have had anything pertinent to say.

That would be normal -- the general rule with trade agreements is the bigger the economy the bigger its slice of the pie. Followed closely by the more resentment/anger from the country claiming to have been shafted by the agreement.

Perhaps I'm wrong but do Those old Oscilliscopes have the freq. range needed for modern computers? P.S. I like the old Textronix scopes too.

Can I please have a SCSI monitor with that SCSI mouse?

No the bugs have always been there. Have you had your flea dip recently? They also say that frontline or Advantage helps enormusly if used on an ongoing basis.

Whenever a drive drops out, even for an instant, it will permanently be removed from the array. This is normal because it has failed to keep-up with the data transfer of the array and is now unsynced. It won't get re-synced untill you build the array. From the descriptions it would seem to...

We will start out with the easy question. If you are running raid5 and a single drive failes then everything stays intact -- You lose nothing. Everything runs fine even with one drive missing however, if you lose a second drive then everything will be gone. Replace the single failed drive...

Welcome back Clocker.

The hunger never goes away. Shivering - never had that symptom. You wouldn't have had to do much longer to get to the numb (nothing matters)stage where the hallunications go away. The tunnel-vision and the one track mind slowly builds up during as the numbing progresses: You get to stay at...

They make it very clear at 4 years it is 25% of the last retail price and at 5 years it is 10% of its last retail price. what you get is dependant upon what prices do over the years. At the rate drives have previously dropped in price I would say $3 wouldn't be unreasonable result for a 5 year...

I disagree with IBM being last - They simply approached it a different way by putting a power-on-hours limitation on their drives. That limitation puts them first because that happened before the warrentee reductions occured.

Also large amounts of continuous sugar ingestion helps a lot.

96+ continuous hours: I was running a gaming convention. After a while one simply goes numb with tunnel vision the norm and the only thing keeping ones self awake is the specific immediate task in-front of you. Multi-taking becomes impossible. those tasks become a driving force. If at any...

Please don't expect anything more than to be used. You've been down the relationship track with this person before and came out of it hurt. the sayings -- "A tiger can not change her spots" and "Fool me once same on you, fool me twice shame on me" -- seem somehow appropriate. My personal...

http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php I've found this list to be helpful before. I'm sure that there are even better lists out there.

Can't you simply apply read-only security to that dll and thereby causing the patch to fail when it tries to update it?

Because polls have time limits and this one has already expired.

Ecconomies of scale or the lack thereof. Wireless routers/firewalls sell by the truckload. Bridges don't. Bridges are used so that one doesn't have to buy wireless ethernet cards on all the connected machines. One buys a bridges when the cost differential exceeds the bridge cost. Thus...

And didn't you know that Brown Cows make the best chocolate milk.

Gimmie a break. You were getting a discounted rent and when new management appears rather than being thankful for the previous years discounted rent you want to burn them for raising it to low-normal. The niece has power of attorney and is obligated to maximize the benefit of her aunts estate...

If there are no issues and they do what you need then why mess with them: You can only do harm.
