I've got over 1.7TB (in one machine = 8x250GB [WD2500JB's with two mirrored] ), anyone here have 1.4+TB, so we can prove Merc is wrong?

Ahh, you noticed.

It's not the documentation nightmare that is the problem - I'm willing to leave that task to MS. It is the maintaince issues that is the nightmare. The "stupid and unwashed" will configure their computer just the way they want to and then mess it up just as readily. Then I get the Phone call...

I agree with Merc - There is actually too much customization allowed. I disagree with Merc - A start button that brings up tasks, bothers me alot. I don't want to have to configure those task functions. Problems exist when I have to figure out how to set up WP vs Office vs Unknown word...

The only real benefit that I can think of would be business related (not typically allowed on cable) or P2P file sharing where your ability to upload limits your sharing ability.

I getta leave before you do (I hope) - He can take mine. as far as I'm concerned, Howell can take everyones spot and make PW happy (a conspiricy takes two people, with one it is merely a dictatorship).

Gimie a break - I can count on one finger the number of hidden deals. Consiracy theorists are barkin' up the wrong tree here. Or, maybe they're hiding them from ME! Oh No ... SF was part of the JFK consiracy. Man never went to the moon - It was all propaganda by the SF marketting machine...

I'm not sure why you need to burn bridges behind you: It is rarely wise. Regardless, good luck in your future endevors.

Cannonball run II

My immediate reaction - is their some tie between Nvidia (FX Video cards) and AMD (FX Processors) - Cross marketting? Otherwise I smell a trademark infrigement case in the making.

*** most likely problem - Check to se if the WD is jumpered as a "single" drive (not master or slave). Use onboard ide rather than promise card (pull Promise card) Pull all cards other than a single video card (use the onboard video or a card but make sure only one is active). Disable all...

Sorry folks - I didn't notice Clocker's links; Duplication is pointless, sorry for wasting everyones time.

I like these - Funny. Terry's World Draft Day

I will remember!

The only time I've informed upon people was when they approached me to sell a pirated copy. All other times I've given warnings and at all times any activities that I'm involved with are with legitimate copies or I won't do it.

He didn't say which weekend - The one in question is probably 9/11/2016

But we are talking about a LX chipset motherboard - Not a later BX. Does the same analysis apply?

I don't understand how your comment applies to mine; I just don't see where the confusion between SF and SR exists in my post. I don't see where I referenced the scale of the two sites. Basicly, as far as I can see, your comments don't apply to your quoting of me. So why quote me? Perhaps...

I had completely forgotten about that thread and the arguement that I, as a member of the oh-mighty high priest council, had with, the mere mortal, P.W. Thanks Coug, it was an enjoyable read and rememberance.

Ahh, but you can't see the reverse? Some of us put our soul into SR and were seriously hurt buy SR. Not merely by the loss of the database but the decision to close down; Yes, I know that they didn't close in the end, but I still emotionally distanced myself substantially when that was...

The only time people stop failing is when they are dead - No more moving parts. The most obvious and common point of failure - The operator (a moving part)

It doesn't say anything that I can see: The only page that actually says anything about the new FS is the last one and it gives no details. Before that is simply a recapping of previous Microsoft file systems. A wasted read.

It does the same on my computer. I DL'd it and what I got was a file only 3.54MB. Perhaps the file is missing the second half?

Yes, of course it will be too late: That is exactly my point. Unfortunately nothing important is ever done until it is too late. All you have to do is look at the world eco-systems or the world enviornment to realize that.

I being a turtle am currently behind the Rabbit Pradeep. In the end, I shall prevail. Congradulations for getting 1000 posts before me and the vast majority of others here.

I can jump on this band-wagon 15. Mime 16. Professional Yes Man, Butt kisser, Ass Licker, ... 17. Crawl-Space inspector 18. Septic Tank cleaner 19. Murder/Suicide crime sceen cleaner 20. Professional Psychiatric drug tester subject 21. Apologist for the Hamas (palestinian terrorist...

Me generally busy today, but this evening, like always, I come here and read whatever has transpired.

About the same time the US switches to metric or two years after the last IP address is allocated: Whichever comes first.

1.5Mbps/256Kbps Comcast cable. Definately worth the $50+ per month as long as one can deal with intermittant interruptions in service.

now if we could only get microsoft to follow suit.

?Strips of cardboard"? I'd be annoyed greatly too. Rails might be noisier (I'd suspect that you are right there) - I'm relatively noise insensitive (Unless it rattles, I'm not likely to notice). As far as not having rails when I need them - I have a drawer of just surplus rails that I pick...

I've never really had problems with HD rails (except for the off-brand cases with unusual sizes that effectively prevent replacing). What is the big complaint? I've always found rails to be easier to deal with than removing the off-side cover and attaching into the side walls. But then I have...

I like my 8950 Enlight server case but it isn't very new and it was certainly not inexpensive. Enlight PS's have a medium level reputation: I thought they were a bit loud. The cooling fan's on my 8950 are also very loud, but they do a good job cooling the case and for a server case it is...

Gimmie a break - Short stroking the 10K drives to increase performance and decrease reliability. They are using a 14 (10K)/11 (15K) drive raid-0 array and thus are playing games with transfer rates too; With that many drives the transfer rate will be limited by the PCI bus. Seagate...

See there is hope for you.

Tannin in drag == Tea in natural clothing Tannin kissing Girl != Tea Kissing Girl

I will Overtake Cliptin Sept. 4th 2016!!! Only 13+ more years to go.

Is the requirement for MS Office for the current version? There are some good bargins to be had with surplus MS Office 97's ($80-100) The other is you have aprox $840 per machine (that includes monitor, printer, XP, Office and computer). I note that Major manufactures get signifigent price...

I don't need to get in shape: I already have a perfectly natural shape -- Round

The L series are worse than the P series. P meant single user (Personal), low monthly useage printer, L means mass marketed throw-away junk. HP's "Budget" printers are no better than HP/Compaq's budget computers.

Howell, I see two recent examples of behaviors that don't meet your expections of how competition works to improve the product and/or the price. The first is where the cheaper price comes from a subsidy that others don't get. An example wouold be The Japanese steel industy getting a Govt...

And the ultimate curse - "May you live in interesting times"

My return rate for Maxtor's and WD drives have always been acceptable. I have always found that Maxtor drives are rarely the fastest, but they will be close and in the past were signifigently cheaper than most other drives. Maxtor's warrentee policies tend to be similar (or better) than...

We NEED a picture of Tea/Tannin, in drag. I'm not picky, Tannin wearing a womans bathing suit in a nice suductive pin-up pose should be added to the "what do we all look like" topic. No, none of this monkey crap in diapers is acceptable; We want the real thing. Yes let Tea access to the...

I'm sorry, I can understand a person being uncomfortable opening up a machine and other more complex computer operations; Some people are just not inclined in that way. However, they need to learn to live with the infirmity and hire someone that has no such limitations.

It looks like it has 3 IDE sockets and no floppy socket (smaller) but it is supposed to have two ATA-100 sockets but only one of the IDE ports is appropiately color-coded to blue. It is also supposed to have two SATA ports supporting raid-0 and I don't see those on the board.

YTannin, our previous sig. gave Merc credit. Why doesn't Time get the same?

I haven't yet had a problem with it. I liked the old theme better, but I'll get used to the new one. My requirements for options are limited: It'll do at least untill I can't do something that I want to do and I don't know what that problem will be yet. The vast majority of stuff I do is...

Why should Intel be in a panic (of any form). The two 64-bit strategies (Intels and AMD's) were announced years ago: Intel has had plenty of time to consider the ramifications. The fact that Intel has announced an emulation mode on the next generation Itanium simply means that they were...

Mubs, I am not a person that lightly sues. It costs too much, unless the issue is a matter of principal or has a value far larger than a drive. I also have no desire to create a class-action suit: Things like that have a tendancy to occupy ones life for years and thereby rarely worth it to...
