I really don't think you can do it without integrated motherboards, and still have a fast machine. Even then it isn't easy. $49 - INWIN ATX MID TOWER CASE MODEL # IW-S500P.300F - OEM with 300Watts Power Supply - AMD Approved & Pentium 4 Ready - support up to 1.4GHz, 7 Bay - 3 5.25" 4 3.5", one...

Hey Tony weren't you going to write a novel? I distinctly remember you saying it at least a few times.

I am reading it for a Russian literature class I'm taking but it is quite good so far. I'm also going to be reading Anna Karenina in the next couple of weeks, supposed to be a good read too.

I picked up a copy of Sum of All Fears today. I have to finish Trainspotting and Crime and Punishment before I can start this though. I'll let all the Clancy fans know if it is any good after I read it.

Come on Tannin...think harder :)

Thanks for the suggestion Tannin. The nice thing is that the University of Wisconsin libraries have one of the largest collections in the country. I just checked and they have that book and 15 others by Chandler. The only problem is that I might not be upto reading 1200 pages on the subject...

I thought I would create a thread where we could recommend books to each other. I don't do that much reading of things that I enjoy, but I would like to do more. I read a lot of stuff for school but it's pretty boring most of the time (unless you find iconoclasm particularly intriguing). I am...

Radio shack should have most of the batteries available, they will rip you off though.

That's what I'm saying...

You could download the version from the Nero website, it will work with any supported burner. Then grab a serial number from somewhere.

Intel Inside??? :o

Personally I liked the old one much better.

Time, where did you get that info from? Just curious really...

That's why Crazy Browser is where it's at. And as a plus it's not nearly as ugly as Mozilla.

Proof read it again Jake, you still spelled color wrong several times. :mrgrn:

Wait I'm trying to remember who got the 1000th post in the apology to china thread. I think Tannin was trying for it, but he failed IIRC.

I started mowing my neighbors lawns when I was about eleven years old with a Toro Lawn mower. I went door to door getting customers and ended up with around ten total. That lawn mower lasted about 5 years mowing 5-10 lawns a week, about 25 weeks a year. I bought a new one when that one was...

On point #1 I doubt this will happen for one reason. And that's because my scroll wheel on my mouse sucks so I don't use it. The main reason I am writing this program is for my use. I just thought I would share it with you all because I thought it might be useful to some of you. #2 This...

That's pretty ambitious, there are some pretty complex things you are thinking about doing there. You would probably be better off to learn all the basics of programming first and then attempt to write this program. When you find out that you need to read several more books then start doing...

Dude, that's scary...

Thanks for the advice Time. I really wish I could figure out why that error that Cliptin got is coming up. There is no reference to that library at all, and there really aren't any controls in use that aren't totally standard MS stuff. I know what you mean about libraries being a problem. We...

Cliptin, what OS are you running?

Hmm, I've never seen that one before. That is just a reference to a library that my program isn't even using. I have taken it out, so it shouldn't be a problem anymore. Thanks for letting me know Cliptin. If you have the time, try it again and let me know.

Nice...I'm still laughing at that one.

Has anyone else tried my program yet? I want more opinions....is this something that is actually useful? Or, am I wasting my time here? (Actually I would have written the program anyways because it was something that I have a need for.)

Don't worry about it, your critisism is quite constructive. I have gone through a lot of code reviews with my boss before that were a lot harsher and not nearly as helpful.

OK, you can disable the filename label now too.

Thanks for the suggestions Handruin, glad you like it. I already fixed the one problem you found and a new copy is up already. Sorry about the bad link, I couldn't remember what I had called it. http://www.timwhit.com/sf/SuperShow.exe I will work on a way to save the shows and disable that...

I wrote this slide show program because I couldn't find anything else on the web for free. It is quite simple, needs no installation or anything special to run, and it's real small (48KB). Oh and it's completely free. http://www.timwhit.com/sf/SuperSlider.exe I'm looking for suggestions on...

I decided to finally post a picture. It's not very good though. That shot was taken in the north woods of Minnesota this summer. Oh ya, I am on the far right wearing a hat and sunglasses. And no, I don't normally dress like that.

I don't know where people get the idea that VB is not a powerful language/development environment. Other than games there is not much that can't be accomplished in VB (in a Windows envirornment of course). VB is used as the frontend for many powerful DB apps. Well written VB code is quite...

Came from SR...

Ya, I'm just sitting here waiting for someone to post something. Not doing anything sure gets boring after awhile.

Hi Bulldog, I haven't used that specific motherboard, but I have had good success with Asus motherboards in the past. I have a Radeon 7000 in my system right now and it seems to work fairly well for me. I would definately spend the extra $5. For RAM I only buy from www.crucial.com and have...

For DB access in VB I just use DAO 3.6 because it is incredibly easy. Note, performance usually doesn't become all that important in most of the apps I have written. But, even with over 50,000 records performance was still pretty good considering it was an MSAccess DB. So Handruin, have you...

Are the old speakers powered or unpowered?

That's the idea behind Java, your code will compile on any platform that has a Java SDK written for it. Java and C++ are just similar because they use a lot of the same syntax. If Java is the language of choice at your work then it seems that it makes perfect sense for you to give it a try.

That's why I think Delphi sucks...who wants to learn a dead language? I have looked at Pascal code before and it seems like there are many better ways to do things. I would much rather start off with Java or C++ or even VB, but that's just me.

Prof, have you used Delphi much since you decided it to be your language of choice?

I think there was once, when James posted a link to some Warez or something. Plus, if you are a moderator you can check everyones IPs...and fix spelling errors in your posts.

I don't think I have heard any Acoustic Research before. My personal favorite speaker brands are NHT, Definitive Technology, Monitor Audio, and B&W. There are others but I can't remember them right now. I completely despise anything made by Klipsch, and pretty much any other well known brand...

How long will we have to wait for the transfer to occur? It better not be more than 5 minutes... :)

Just wanted to add that if you learn the basics of programming you can pick up a new language fairly quickly. They all use the same ideas. For instance there are many similarities between Java and C++. You really don't have to take a class to learn how to program, many people teach...

I would start off learning a single language. Java or C++ are good starting points. I would choose Java, Merc would probably choose C/C++. Go to a book store and see what introductory books they have. Check out how the book is written and if you like the style then buy it and start reading...

Merc, what kind of sound setup do you have? I can't wait to get rid of my Sony receiver, but the fact that I'm broke makes it hard. I still like my Sony Wega 27" though...

One more piece of advice: Don't buy anything that says 'Bose' on it. I have made this mistake in the past and have paid for it. I'm not a big fan of Cambridge products either. Too much advertising and they are sold at Best Buy which is another turn off. (Creative uses Cambridge speakers.)

How much money are you planning on spending on this endeavor? I think in the long run you would be better off buying a real receiver with digital inputs (built in Dobly Digital, & DTS decoder) and a 5 channel speaker system to go along with it. It might cost more right now, but in the long run...

The funniest joke in the article had to be: TEXAN: "Where are you from?" HARVARD GRAD: "I come from a place where we do not end our sentences with prepositions." TEXAN: "OK — where are you from, jackass?"

So, what are you thinking about buying?

Well single player should be just fine... :wink:
