    CD/DVD Changers For PCs

    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?

    ZDNet : Microsoft should rewrite Windows.

    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...

    ZDNet : Microsoft should rewrite Windows.

    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...

    New Broadband Speed in my Area

    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.

    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...

    Athlon FX

    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.

    Installed Win98SE then computer hangs at boot

    *** 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...

    It Professional's role in preventing piracy

    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.

    Time for Heresey!

    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...

    WinFS at Toms

    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.

    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.

    Enlight Cases Still Good?

    ?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...

    Enlight Cases Still Good?

    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...

    Enlight Cases Still Good?

    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...

    An open letter to Hewlett-Packard

    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.

    Another reason why I don't like Intel.

    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...

    Newbie Transferring Files from Old to New Machine

    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.

    Find the error in this picture.

    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.

    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...
