It has been cold in T.O. (and the rest of the eastern half of N.A.). Its just one big Artic air mass that doesn't want to move along....alas, I guess it just balances out the sweltering heat we experienced last summer. Anyways, 6 more weeks and we'll be well on our way to the good stuff. I...

If memory serves my correct, Johnathan Swift (Guillivers Travels) wrote a short treatise of what to do with the troublesome Irish population....however, where memory fails me is whether or not it was written in gest or if he was down right serious. CK

They're also priced like a Porsche too. I just don't see myself utilizing that novelity very often....in fact, I'd probably only try it right after I took the monitor out of its box, just to see if it did what its advertised to do. CK

Yep, that was pretty sad reading.

I just saw a commercial for an upcoming movie called "Biker Boyz"... can hardly wait. Seriously, who thinks up this crap. Another thought: how many idiots are going to end up killing themselves trying to emulate some behaviour they will see in this retardard film?

16ms! Thats pretty impressive. Thanks Coug, I'll keep a look out for it. Current contender is the Samsung 152T (nice contrast, brightness, and decent 25ms refresh)...but selling for ~$570, I still feel is a little lofty for the overall quality and size ... dang, I hate this affliction I have...

Thanks, C. Too bad this info didn't come out a week or so ago, you probably could have squeezed Coug for $5 more on the card you sold him :wink: CK

People are now trying a 8500 -> 9100 conversion of some sorts (aren't they the same thing?). Info can be found on this Rage3D thread...didn't bother reading it, so no idea whats contained in there. CK

Oh baby, bring it on! I'm looking forward to clearing up some desk space...but prices and quality have always been an issue.

Its not quite what he's looking for cliptin: [/quote="clocker"]I have seen many of the accessories that are available now (by Vantec, Enermax & others) but these all seem to take the totally lame approach of re-routing the USB/Firewire/Audio connections that are on the back of the case back up...

Close! Unless you count a shiny silver sticker as a feature, those are the same boards. Actually, I guess the only real differing thing is the inclusion of the BIOS error code display on the Epox (a characteristic design feature of theirs I believe). But its pretty obvious FIC could have put...

Come on Coug, clearly they are different boards: 1 - Fic uses shiny silver label on Southbridge; none on Epox 2 - Fic uses blue label on chip that is to the right of the battery; none on Epox 3 - Epox has extra silk screen labelling right under NorthBridge; Fic has none 4 - Epox has digital...

1) Is MS likely to be in the primary capital markets anytime soon? I would tend to think that their $41B warchest rules out that likelihood. So the stock split was not initiated to help facilitate future captial needs. 2) Are they worried about their stakeholders having liquidity issues with...

Homer: on sugar

Exactly, growth companies want capital to, err.., grow. MS has entered another stage...the slow road to obscurity. The stock split is kind of funny though...$52 has nothing on Berkshire.

behavioural economics at its best....the movie!!

Sorry, I have no clue what your reffering to ie. I believe you are confusing things. Tim Horton was a hockey player....I believe his self named donut store started in Hamilton On....it expanded and remains a very popular (good java) coffee/donout shop ....he died a good while back...although...

Was using it up until last Oct until I left my job...granted I didn't know how to use it other then for what I needed. Running on a VAX 8200, serving 8 on site and 3 remote client workstations...like Mercutico's observations, the VAX had a inch of dust on it but kept going and going and going .....

Coug, what OS is the customer running? SOF was bundled with my aging GF2MX card and, IIRC, it didn't support W2K/XP. Could be wrong though. CK

Also available, although not as thorough, at Processor Electrical Specifcations page CK

Thanks for the info gents. I'm going to take some time over a coffee maybe on Saturday and look closer at the issue. I had cleanly forgotten that the Norwegian case was in regards to Linux software...wasn't paying attention and thought it was purely about DVD ripping. CK

I'm hoping someone can fill me in on this: How does Linux get around the points outlined on this Zoom Player page? Glancing at OpenDVD.org doesn't answer the question as it hasn't been updated for ~year and a half. Didn't spot anything on Xine pages either. A google search on "Linux DVD...

That's okay Tony, the world still needs humour. Ageed. Personally, I liked sifting through the [OT] and computer discussions on the old board...where else would you find a thread on acctuaters sandwiched right between "An apology to China" and a slight on the Canadian Armed Forces? More...

Definitely not as enjoyable places anymore - and perhaps haven't been for a while (possibly the reason why many of you now frequent SR quite seldomly, if at all anymore in some cases?). Nonetheless, in the more recent past, I believe that there has been a definite shift in the atmosphere...

after I posted an re-read and it struck me that my above post may come across as sounding condenseding. I assure you that was not my intention. Also, I thought that I should add that, when I used the above mentioned step, I found that WMP9 wasn't "completely" eliminated - there were a few...

MS says a lot of things....however, if you read through you the discussion on this page you will see that (1) there is indeed a way to uninstall the MP9beta and (2) afterwards, realize that not everything MS says should be taken on face value....you will also see one individual in that thread...

Prof: Did he remove the beta copy or is it still on the machine?

Ahh, interesting. Thanks Cas.

very, very little ...... but you can rest assured you are using the highest quality analog interface connector.

Ahh, got it. Thanks for the clarification Mark. Rather poorly written by Corsair, if you ask me. CK

I came across this Corsair page wherein the following is written: Now is there something wrong here or is am I missing something. ie. the use of synchronous and asynchronous seems to be reversed. Can someone explain. (P.S. I am aware of how registered RAM works, so no explaination is needed...

Apparently, from what I've seen (repeatedly) in user forums, the 1700+ & 1800+ T-bred "A" chips are also factory unlocked. CK

You know if you stare at that picture for a few seconds it switches to a "from underneath looking out" perspective.

Cliptin, you forgot the mouse....Note that the item pictured has been mislabeled as a toy, but don't let that fool you, its really a highly advanced I/O device

I think honold meant something along the lines of your typical "Joe's Auto Shop" mechanics garage...and there definitely is more then a passing resemblence with all the parts lying around everywhere etc etc... Anyways, I love those pictures. That guy looks like he hasn't slept in 3 days and...

Brief MWQ explanation

I agree. But that's only half the story; the other side is product availability. I need a little State side house of my own, just so I can get some of the products that never seem to make it to Toronto, or at least sure take their sweet time getting here. CK

No...T-Bred start at 1700+ Read the articles listed below for details...things might have changed a bit since then though http://www.xbitlabs.com/cpu/athlonxp-2800/ http://www.xbitlabs.com/cpu/athlon-xp-2600/

Everytime I see this thread come to the top I think someone's finally figured a way to stick it to Macromedia - oh well, maybe someday. Anyways, there is also a lot of info on this site. Cheers, CK

Yep, seen it, and its the reason why I was looking to elicit a response from you. Wasn't really thinking about that when I posted, but absolutely right. Hopefully Buck will weigh in and provide some prespective. Yep, realized that. I posted the update in a hurry and my wise crack wasn't very...

oops, should have previewed first: There's some info in this Anandtech article CK

There's some info in this http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1636&p=17]Anandtech article CK

Came across this MS page CK

Just noticed that the guy placed the same post in about ten other threads talking about Samsung drives....I sense a Maxtor operative at work

I will need a few drives (purely for storage, for myself and a couple of friends with similar needs) in the near future and was thinking that the Samsung's are the obvious choice both $ and warrenty wise. However, this this SR post caught my attention, and so I welcome any comments on it or...

I'll have to try to catch that sometime (maybe next Dec, before the final episode). When I watched FOTR on disc, it was a Full Screen edition that I borrowed from a friend. I can't stand Full Screen...I fell like I'm missing so much (however, I know the converse argument is applied by those...

Obviously, Peter Jackson has taken on an incredibly difficult task of translating the story into a motion picture. Some quick points of where I think the film(s) are doing things right and wrong: FOTR, The bad: Thought some things were overdone (i.e. when the hobbits encounter the first Black...

Wait a second, there's still more than 9 hours left in 2002, which just doesn't make any sense with the original post......unless, oh no. Oh No! GOOD GOD! The Austrailians have a time machine and are sending monkeys into the future! Run for the hills everyone, the monkey's can speak and have...

Lavasoft's responese to all those "don't bother with Lavasoft..." clips. CK

I'm assuming your using windows btw....support in Linux would be tricker, but it exists (ATI AIW is a good bet for support in Linux) and is growing. True, to a large extent, but it is getting better. But, tossing aside the flexibility of Tivo's, how hard is it to program your capture app each...
