And the inverse question - Why should I create more persona's unless someone is willing to pay?

Get yourself a working used HP 4(+) or 5. On Ebay they go for a pittance.

Sorry to disapoint but P5-133XL is its own person and not shared by the likes of EBB, Trinton, or even Its-Fubar. One gets what one pays for, and in this case, free is not enough for more than one.

recently Cliptin voluntered to help Tannin in production of the FAQ

How do you think my picture was taken?? It rested on my monitor while pointed at me and I simply raised my hand to press the button. Decidedly low tech, but hey it works. Note, it took several tries to get my face centered, but a digital camera uses no film: thus no additional cost per shot.

Reading the descriptions of the NF category, I can pin myself down. I am much closer to a INFJ than the other NF's

first do a tracert (from a dos box) to www.army.mil and see where it is being blocked.

If your firewall has it, turn on STI (stateful packet inspection). I suspect that you still have a port blocked that shouldn't be. What STI does is to allow packets from inside to go out and remembers the IP and ports they use. When a computer replies (the packet from the same IP and port)...

NP - Idealist

1) I believe it would be possible, but inconvienant. You could have a web accessible client run only long enough to get a WU and store it in a shared directory. The non-web accessible client could then copy the entire directory structure and run the WU. When it is done, it could then copy its...

To beat them we need at least 2 more 1900+'s running 24x7. Anyone is nieve if you think that they won't be adding machines too, so more than that is needed.

Unless the CPU has been abused (handling, overclocking, fried PS) the battery is much more likely to fail and the same go's with the bios. The order of failure is MB, Battery, CPU, BIOS: The order of checking Battery, MB, CPU, BIOS. The checking is based on cost/inconvienence and likelyhood...

Tell that to Microsoft with 38.2 billion in cash equivilents as of the last reported finantial statement. Does that mean MS is an even better takeover canadidate?

From the list of 106 here's my top ten From the list of 106 here's my top ten 1. #40 = When you have to bite your tongue to prevent yourself from inserting yourself into a conversation between a computer salesman and a customer. Note, You’ve become incurable, if biting your tongue wasn’t...

Now that the top ten is at 100, perhaps the list could be pared down to 10 again?

66. You need to add another item to this list

36. When your computer key is actually attached to your key ring. 37. When opening up a vomit box actually makes your stomach upset. 38. When you always keep a computer repair kit in your automobile. 39. If you have several NIC’s just lying around, incase someone (like a relative or friend)...

Try just replacing the battery, or for those that are cheap just test the battery for proper voltage.

Sorry, My experiance is that one really doen't have to worry until everything goes silent (like children).

As someone important, I want, as a minimum, an OC3 line to my basement. T1 isn't fast enough for me: I have cable and want to see an impovement.

With a BIOS that doesn't use jumpers then it stores the FSB and multiplier in CMOS and thus can be affected by a battery. No CMOS then only the default settings will be used and if your CPU won't run using the default then you won't be able to boot. Normally, the BIOS will also record the...

It means he won by one vote.

Yes, there are actually Eyebrows but not viewable from that photograph.

Congratulations Long live the king

Congratulations

Cliptin has been officially elected by the administrators as SF's newest moderator. It was a squeeker of an election. Congrats are in order

There are 3 in there and one in an adjcent room.

If you look closely beside the monitor, you will find a kensington Expert mouse (a trackball).

by the way, the open desktop case to the left of the monitor is my infamous Gateway 2000 P5-133XL

Please no bickering. Groltz, you did good.

Since people are asking, I got my shirt and cap from Eugene in recognition for the work I did answering questions in the old Tech Support forum. I suppose you too could get one from him for an equivilent service.

Imposter Real

You just have no concept of books. In my basement I have 20,000+ books (basicly 1600 sq ft dedicated to just book shelves) and that is why there are no shelves above the computer. The books are elsewhere. I really wish that I had a low focal length lens attached to my cheapo digital camera (A...

Yes, this is me wearing an SR tee shirt This is what my office looks like

No, it was because the drives are not advanced that this signal line is needed. Without it the computer would need to constantly check the drive to see if it had been changed. Accessing the floppy is very slow and very CPU intensive: There is no DMA or anything like that.

On floppy drives there is sensor that changes state when the floppy is removed. This signal indicates to the OS that its cache needs to be updated when refreshed. If the sensor blocked/broken then the OS will not be able to notice that the drive has been chanced and thus will keep looking for...

For some reason, I have gotten the same reaction at other forums that I haunt. A few moths ago, I tried some humor there and got a very similar reaction. I have a sinking feeling that people think I take things too seriously.

I will up Tea's bid of banana's. I've got some pure banana Extract created from only the best virgin white banana's. ** Note, no live banana's were killed during the producion the extract. *** Only banana's over the age of 18 were used during the creation of this extract. **** All Banana's...

because of the UD upgrade, the amount of CPU wastage has gone drasticly up the last week. To compensate, I've added F@H processes to some machines so that at least something is running while UD is waiting to connect. I don't think it will add alot of WU's because these are slow machines, but...

By the way, yes a cheap modern machine will out perform the old dualie. However, performance shouldn't be your 1st priority as long as the dualie has enough umph to do the job, it will keep on pluggin untill the job no longer needs to be done. I really can't say the same about a cheap Athlon...

I'm with Merc. The Dell Dual server PIII is going to be more reliable than a cheapo Athlon, costs less, and has the necessary stuff to do the job.

The current term for a moderator is 18 months. We are adding one moderator every 3 months till we have our quota. If I remember correctly the quota is 5 moderators? Currently we have two elected and two appointed moderators and as the number of moderators increase to the quota the appoined...

Hey everyone, The admin group is considering these choices and will choose someone by July 1st. With that in mind, could those nominated (or others) submit any information that may help us decide. I'm sure that it would also be good if those nominated actually accepted the nomination to show...

Mr Richards, I don't believe that the Admins are considering rebuilding the moderation policies at this time. There was a signifigent effort to produce the current set of policies and while undoubtably not perfect, they were the best that could be done at the time. So far, what we have seems...

I have been sold on dual CPU machines for a long time. They just are not that much more cost than a single (as long as you aren't buying retail): Most sellers of complete machines sell duals with Server markups. One simply has to buy/build smart. A dual MP/MPX motherboard with a couple of...

You can add a 266P2 takes 68.8 minutes for 1/100 of a proteinA for a 114.7 hours/5Pts

I have to admit that I definately have music opinions. I was brought up on Alice Cooper and what, at the time, was considered hard rock. I have gone through periods that I listen solely to classical, jazz, New-age, Techno, POP, and my current kick is, disgustingly, country (specificly female)...

PW, This trust issue is not related to the amount of time you have been here, where you came from, whether you were elected, appointed, volunteered, or anything like that. Fact - you do not have any form of responsibility here beyond that of a normal user. You have not accepted any, nor has...

I have to admit that I rarely ever look at the B&G section and I rather limit my posting in the computer section because I don't like being drowned out by lots and lots of voices most of which don't add much to the conversation. I said once before that someone in need of help needs one correct...
