Yes, all of usenet is apparently ugly as well.

I always use the G4 Dual 1GHz computers at the school library, but they just aren't fast. I think OSX is a great OS, but I could never use it everyday because it feels so damn slow. Also the damn 1 button mouse they give you is incredibly annoying. They also have some G4s with the widescreen...

Didn't we have this argument a little while back. Everyone else says that WinRar is almost as fast as Winzip. Mercutio says that Winrar is 10 times slower. I don't think I would use Winace to compress/decompress RAR archives, I think it probably works best with ACE archives. Try doing the...

That's under 2K if running Linux. Much more if it's running Win2k Server. If you pay for it, that is.

I've been to the Indiana Dunes a bunch of times. It's really not that bad of a beach. The water is not that bad and there is no noticeable polution from what I've seen. There are plants visible on the skyline, but it doesn't seem to affect the beaches or anything.

You don't live right in Gary, do you? I got lost in Gary one time, it smells pretty bad there.

Is there any point in using a rackmount case if you don't have a rack? Isn't all this information going to eventually make it into an article? For the article how about suggestions on a regular tower case and a rackmount case, depending on the users needs. I have purchased a couple...

Any server that will store large amounts of data should run at least RAID1. RAID5 is more economical. Most Server OS's can handle either RAID level on a software level.

People don't like to have to learn how a new application works. New software scares people. They don't understand even the simplest applications if they haven't used them before. Since it looks different than IE then they immediately don't know how to use it. I find even a color change can...

There's a reason I don't buy Belkin products. I thought it was just because they were overpriced and sold at Circuit City, now I know there is another reason. Plus, who would buy a router made by Belkin? I can see a printer cable, but a router?

Oh by the way, sorry to hear about this. Can't be a very nice thing to find out. I think I would flip if the same thing happened to me...

Adcadet, Let us know how your test went.

Well, movie stars are pretty good at looking a part even after a long absence. Arnold looked just as good in T3 as he did in T2 in my opinion. So, I don't see why Harrison Ford won't be able to look the part again. And, I didn't exactly pay for the trilogy, oh the wonders of a DVD burner.

I watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade last night and tonight I watched Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Both on DVD. These are two great movies, and they are even better on DVD. I even hear that there are plans to make an Indiana Jones 4, but I wonder how Harrison will do, he's...

If I were you I would part out the system and sell it on eBay all separately. You will get a lot more money that way. It is more work though.

Merc, I already have a couple of Case Logic CD binders, but they are all full. I have a 200 and a 256. Add in about 250 discs that are sitting on spindles and I decided that I need another binder. The Case Logic ones are a rip-off. But, on eBay I can get this or something like it. Do you...

I got a USB2 CF card reader for like $15 last year. I got one of those 7 in 1 USB2 readers for about the same a couple months ago. Remember Santilli you don't have to spend a fortune to get good equipment that works.

Now you're fighting with yourself...how cute.

Merc: I said that no one cared about the topic of prescription drugs, because in a different thread its.fubar brought up the same topic without any replies to that specific topic. I guess I was wrong about that. Economy getting better is not synonymous with lower unemployment rates. Take any...

Probably a lot more reliable than any Jazz drive also. IIRC those Jazz drives were horribly unreliable. Plus, they only hold 1 or 2 gigs. Actually I think anything that iomega made/makes was horribly unreliable. Why not get a drive enclosure with firewire or USB2 and only hard drive and...

Unemployment is at about 6% in the US (Forbes, 10/15/03). I don't see this as being all that high. Especially when compared with the EU which routinely has unemployment figures about 10%. What country are you from its.fubar? Based on the stocks that I own the economy does seem to be doing...

I have a Cyberdrive CD burner and it works great. Never burned a coaster on it and that's after burning at least 1000 discs. Cheap doesn't always mean low quality.

Dang, I forgot to mention Tumbleweed. It's Southwest style food, but I don't go there for the food. I go there for their $2 margaritas or $5 45oz. They are damn good and the foods alright too.

Thanks guys. This is the first time I have ever broken 1000 posts on a forum. I would have on SR, but that crashed and it started to suck after that. I plan on staying around here for a good while to come. Hopefully all of you guys will continue here as well, because that is what keeps me...

Actually zip codes were introduced in large cities in 1943. And FM Radio has essentially been around since 1937 when it was granted a construction permit by the FCC (the year my dad was born). I doubt you were born before either of these things. Since you were 50 on February 2nd 2002, the...

I don't actually use the MX300 personally, but I bought one for my mom and one for my girlfriend. Both, have been satisfied with their mice. Personally I use a Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse Blue. It wasn't too expensive either ($30 I think). Actually my dad bought it, but it interfered...

I hate Applebee’s. I have gotten their chicken sandwich more than once and each time it is extremely undercooked. How hard is it to cook a piece of chicken all the way through? I can do it quite easily on my $30 George Forman Grill. I try to avoid eating at Applebee’s at all cost. I ate at...

I watching this program on the Travel Channel awhile back about fast food and there is a McDonalds in NYC that is sitdown with table service and is quite fancy. I would consider going there sometime, it looked pretty cool. And it even had live music.

I personally prefer this mouse.

I stopped eating out about 18 months ago. I only rarely eat out at fast food joints. But, a couple years ago I used to eat fast food all the time. We have Big Mikes which is pretty similar to Jimmy Johns. It's good and I would get it before Subway any day of the week. I hate Thai food...

Man I hate Arby's. I swore I would never eat there again after New Year's eve 1999. I ate there with some friends and we all got sick. No one threw up or anything, but I will never eat that shit again.

I downloaded the software and am just going to play around with it for awhile. Has anyone else tried it yet? The software is easy to use, but it isn't very fast. Essentially just like all the other crap Roxio has released. It seems to have a good amount of music, but I haven't done all...

Just for reference: I can do about 23MB/s reading from a 7200RPM Maxtor Plus9 and writing to a Cheetah 36ES. I used a 700MB file and just timed it. Not the most accurate test, but good enough to determine what kind of inefficiencies the filesystem give you. When you also add in inefficiences...

How many laptop hard drives will be able to read at more than 30MB/s? Along with inefficiencies in the file system this brings things down to 15-20MB/s. So you wouldn't gain that much from a gigabit NIC. You could try using two 100mb NICs together to achieve twice the bandwidth. That is if...

I watched Sneakers recently and it is a pretty entertaining movie. I hadn't seen it in about 8 years and watching it today it is still a pretty good movie. A lot of the things they talk about are still relevant today. The idea of a code breaker is a little preposterous but makes for an...

Maybe the lens of your DVD player is just dirty. Try opening it up and spraying canned air in there.

Has anyone ever used anything made by Kingmax? They make some cheap MMC's...

I found my own answer after a few minutes of searching. Check out: http://zxpro.com/guide.htm MMC is compatible with SD slots. But, SD is not compatible with MMC slots.

Before I order does anyone know for sure?

If a camera supports Secure Digital (SD) which other kinds of flash cards are usually supported? Dumb question I know, but I can't remember this kind of crap.

Estonia was part of the defunct Soviet Union. It has modernized rather well since the breakup of the Soviet Union, and was asked to join the EU in 2004. Also has a strong economy fueled by Finnish companies relocating operations there.

It does work well to speed up large transfers. I generally only use it when transferring over 500MB of data. http://www.webattack.com/get/totalcopy.html

Sorry to never reply to any of the responces that I never replied to (great sentence...) I've been busy with school, work and partying. That's the problem I have a serious girlfriend. Plus, I'm not sure if I want to be moved to some indeterminate spot on the earth for upto four years...

Ya, but in the first post Howell asked specifically about MS RAID 1, not about any alternative soft RAID solutions. I think the major decision will come down to whether the computer in question is going to used hard enough to warrant spending several hundred dollars on a 3ware controller that...

That's all well and good, but what about speed? How do the different applications compare to comparable windows alternatives? How about native Linux apps versus running real win32 apps under emulation? But, if it's working well for you then you have had far better luck than I. The last time...

It is even possible to recover a boot volume that is MS SoftRAID1. Check in Microsoft help on how to do this as I can't remember, but I remember reading about it in MS Help awhile back.

Remember that Software RAID 1 can only be used on MS Server OS's. I have setup a server that used RAID 1 and the performance was good. Neither of the drives ever failed in the 2 years after it was setup so I don't know how hard recover would be. There were never any problems with the array...

Sorry, I still fold for SETI. I have 4177 units done and I would rather not switch.

You drink 54% straight? I think I would puke just smelling it. The last time I took anything that strong straight was on my last birthday. Someone thought that I needed a shot of Bacardi 151. Believe me not good stuff at all.

Man, the forum seems dead lately. A ton of the original members are no longer around anymore. PW left for good, same with honold. Tannin went on some type of extended vacation (maybe just in his head)... James has vanished. Clocker is now taking a break. Time mysteriously vanished after...
