Can any of you A06/106 owners tell me at what ~speed does the drive rip DVDs?

I only cut and pasted from the email I recieved. Obviously somebody is trying to mess with our minds! Must be the same folks from that credible "Elingsh uinervtisy". CK

Doh!

Hey you bunch of facists! Why did you edit my post! ? Don't you like 1739 x 1310 ? :D

For the most part, yes. Just Browse the NSW CD. You'll find that almost everything has its own directory, with its own install or setup executable. Just copy the files off the CD to the HDD, and then run the setup file. Bada-bing, Bada-boom -> You get what you want without any of the useless...

Indeed, but as

In Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 824146

Although written for previous service packs, this Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 279792 seems to solve the problem. Maybe useful for other software that stops functioning after applying a SP.

Hi. I actually logged in earlier on today and was typing something up but got interupted before I had completed and never got a chance to post to the forum . I did save to notepad what I had written and will post now just for the hell of it. In between that time and now, events have...

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...

Hmmm. Between 10-ish PM to 11:30-ish PM, I couldn't get in.

I think it was at last year's made for TV skills competition (that they have every Dec after the season is over) that Singh and Weir were clowning around at a par three and exchanged irons - Weir, shooting right, put his ball about 8-9 feet from the pin, and then Vijay, shooting left, stuck it...

ahhh, speaking about not getting into the site last night....

I like the fact that the board's integrated video has both VGA and DVI outputs. Nforce2 boards could do that too, but no manufacturer I am aware of produced such a variant....booooooooo. It actually surprises me that none of the Shuttle or other SFF units come with an integrated DVI output.

Merc, I believe Thermaltake has a PSU with SATA. Apparentely Future Shock on SR has one and likes it. I took a look for this model a while back but I didn't see any with native SATA cableling - just a molex-to-SATA adapter. Maybe things have changed/updated. I have also heard of a few...

Works fine. Probably about 97% of the content I view is configured for 800x600. Hee hee, what's really bad was that I ended up driving the monitor too hard. It used to be able to handle 1024x768 @60Hz several years ago, but I guess with age the caps have deteriorated, and the additional...

Man oh man, this place has been pretty dead lately.

Seems the prophecy will take shape:

I'm currently using an old 14 inch CRT. A rather painful experience, but it was born out of necessity - I've had two monitor deaths (very sad :D ) in the last little while, and my best monitor I lent out (read: gave away to a family member) about a year ago. So I'm temporarily stuck with...

That's pretty tame. I'm surprised no underground commercial has been released yet. The launch for this processor presents an excellent artistic opportunity. I, for one, have a particular visual idea in mind that would be accompanied by some key sampling of a certain, rather appropriate, audio...

timwhit, 1) For what sort of application are you going to use it for? 2) You do realise (which it looks like you do) that the N series does not support DVI. 3) In regards to DVI, I would have to say that it is a worthwhile improvement over analog. Especially given you already have a Video...

This does indeed seem to be case. What a bunch of f@$#3n tools. I think they got their information from a pair of hamsters. I can't wait till that egotistical idiot Chretien and his bumbling bunch of supporters are out - Canada will be a much better place. I'm willing to bet e_dawg has lost...

Which stands in stark contrast to what Bloomberg said this morning - in essence, he emphatically, no lets say adamantly, stated that the origination of the problem was in Canada, specifically Quebec. I was pretty annoyed with his finger pointing ... rather early to get a definitive answer...

Hmm, I wonder if any of Prof. Wizzard's emoticons were ever links to photos of him giving Coug the finger?

Hello world!

While I'm pretty sure you're kidding around, on the off chance that you weren't: Alcohol. And oh yes, free drinks at the bar for everyone, this ones on me... PS. There is also cdrecord/cdtools PPS. Another alternative for finding stuff from Ahead is searching their ftps - ftp://ftp.nero.com...

You mean sort of like this thread :) CK

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

Check out the following diagram of the bus implementation on the MPX: Anything that comes off the 33MHz bus is, in the end, routed by the 66MHz bus. What I'm thinking is that there is some bus mastering problem going on - simply, only 1 device can own the bus at any one time, whether it be...

I remember reading in the Anandtech preview and follow up artilces on the Nforce2 that they found that the 3com had higher CPU utilization because of lack of interupt moderation (you can read that here). Wouldn't be surprised that this is the same case with your 3com cards. Indeed, it sounds...

For those of you who have Yahoo accounts and wish to use your email client to view your Yahoo mail (just like the good old days), then YahooPOPs! is for you. I'll let the authers words do the taking: Yahoo! Mail disabled free access to its POP3 service in April 2002...then o­ne day, I stumbled...

Well I'm not sure about the other tests, but I know for a fact that SR's Winbench STR measurements have been almost identical to my own....of course, I've only drawn my testing from a limited pool of drives CK

jtr, you pretty much summed up my position. I tried the mach3 with a demo unit I recieved in the mail. On the wide open spaces of the face the mach3 provides a great clean close shave (at least the demo blade did), but I found its swivel head a little more difficult to work with around under...

Me tripping or your double posting? When I say 12 times, I exaggerate. And when I say trip, I don't mean flat on my face - just a brief stumble in your step. I think Buck was right though - probably exhaustion....makes me think about what tired pilots could do though when they aren't "all...

Mandrake v9.2 beta 2 now released

Just noticed that Eugene wrote that he is going to formally address the Raptor enigma shortly. I'm looking forward to see if there are performance difference outside of the STR....although by the sound of Eugene's tone, it doesn't look like any serious differences exist. CK

Merc, I agree with many of your points about CDRWs as outlined in this thread. However, I like using them for: a) messing around with and perfecting a bootCD b) testing/perfecting slipstreamed CD's etc c) trying out linux distros d) holding software that I'll want short term backup copies of...

:evil: Aghhhh! I just lost a post by closing the wrong window :evil: CMC Magnetics - not looked upon too favourably by many, although many have no problems with them. I would tend avoid them and to just stick with the widely respected Verbatim DataLifePlus...(keyword: Plus). But then again...

jtr, I'd be curious to know which manufacturer TDK is using for those discs - could you please fire up nero infotool and find out, thanks. I've been patiently waiting for the arrival of reliable 700MB CD-RW in either HS or Ultra format (perferably Ultra, after all, I would like to make use of...

Thank you.

:D That gave me a good laugh.

I guess I kind of meant a bit of both. For example, here's a page from the ISP that invites users to showcase their webpages that they created on the provided space. Chosing the top one (the message therapy one) and plugging its address into Netcraft shows that the server is running Apache...

It started up right away, but I got it in 3 second clips...buffer...3 seconds...buffer... I then d/l'ed it from you, which worked fine, but it only came across at ~35KB/s. 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: -...

I categorically deny ever mentioning O&O lite. In fact, I did not inhale, nor did I ever have sexual relations with that woman. Besides, I have no recollection of that matter. While I largely agree with the spirit of your letter, I do find practical argument against it: - Most users who end...

Well, I paid a (what should have been a brief) visit to my friend to see if anything had changed. Here's the current status: LiveUpdate still does not provide a patch. I note (once again) that this Symantec document, that I had linked above, continues to evolve. The latest revision gives it...
