Ping time was probably the most important thing when I was playing UT online a couple years ago. I would win probably half the time when I had a good connection, but when the connection started to suck then I had a much harder time competing.

That is by far the best line in the article. Pretty impressive performance, but I'll reserve judgement until SR has a chance to review the drive w/SATA.

Hmm, it seems that I need to go to sleep. That should be problem.

I found that you can just type what you want to search for in the address bar and hit alt-enter to do a google search. Pretty simple, so my solution is solved.

Is there anyway to get the google toolbar in Crazy Browser? That would make it perfect...

i, what kind of card do you have?

Seems good to me. I think I will start using it. Thanks for the heads up e_dawg! I don't actually read the SR computers section anymore because it all seems boring for some reason.

I updated my video drivers and I actually got the game to run. It locked up so I changed the sound to safe mode and it ran fine. I plan on getting rid of the Live and just using the onboard sound with an optical out (SPDIF). Game seems pretty good. Though my Radeon 7000 sucks.

My system: Win2k SP3 Asus A7V333 Athlon XP 1800+ 256MB PC2100 ATI Radeon 7000 SB Live! Value Lasted version of DirectX (8.1b or something) Bunch of other stuff that shouldn't matter. I am going to try updating the video drivers to see if that fixes the problem. Other than that I really don't...

I downloaded the demo and it won't run on my system. I play UT a lot back in the day and would like to try this game out. It won't play in safe mode or regular mode. I didn't try anything else after that.

I won the printer for $228.50, I think I got a pretty good deal on it. ;)

Get a real DVD player and a real receiver and you'll be set. Who wants to watch a DVD on a computer anyways?

I kinda doubt that, maybe it is just standard operating procedure for the place that is reselling the printer. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2053075252 http://www.cheaphpprinters.com

There already is a 3 dollar bill.

I bid on a LJ 5 with only 6000 pg count. It's going for $200 and the place is right in Madison so I can $45 on shipping which is nice. It has also been totally reconditioned new rollers and pickups. Should last me awhile if I win the auction.

I was looking to get a used 4si because you can get them for a little over a $100, but I found that they weigh over 100lbs. Guess I will go back to looking for a LJ 5. Thanks for the explanation Pradeep.

Can someone explain exactly what a duty cycle means? Is this the amount of time between service, or is it just how many pages the printer can print in a month?

It's down again, and no one is posting on here, where is everyone?

Mark, since you seem to be very versed in the Laserjet series I was wondering how much better the LJ 5 prints graphics over the LJ 4. I print graphics once in a while and the 6L prints graphics just fine for the times when I need graphics. So does the LJ 5 print graphics as well as the 6L?

I think I am past the point of fixing this printer. I don't know if it is only the rollers that need to be fixed, it could be something entirely different. Plus, I would like to get something bigger, so the next time I move I will get the carry it. :)

Is the Laserjet 5 a very good printer? Or would it be a better idea to buy a Laserjet 4? What kind of page count should I look for? Olbviously lower is better, but what is too high? We have a Laserjet 5 at work and it works great other than the fact that it takes too long to warm up. My 6L...

I have a HP Laserjet 6L which has been great for the last 5 years or so up until last year when the rollers started to go on it. It has gotten pretty bad. Unless it is loaded up almost all the way with paper it will grab 20-40 sheets at a time. I paid $400 for this thing awhile back and it...

I always hear of people having IE crash on them but I don't think I have seen IE crash on me in a couple years. Not since before 4.0 was common. It's not like I don't push it either, I usually have between 5 and 20 instances of it open on my machine.

Prof, aren't you back in Rome now anyways? The law won't affect you until you go back to Greece, correct?

So whatever happened to Mustafa? I found it quite amusing...Where is the sense of humor people?

This is OT, but I want to say it anyways. It seems people are always complaining about the American culture being forced down the throats of people all over the world. This may be the case, but how many of the people whose culture was squashed for the American culture would go back to the way...

Check the date on them Doug. A lot of the ones I have also look really new. Most paper money is used and put out of circulation within 2 years. However, with $2 bills people are less likely to spend them so they probably just appear more new. I could be totally wrong on this though. This is...

One of my friends was just talking about this today, it is known as flashbulb memories. There is a mechanism in the brain called now print which takes a snapshot during a extrodinary time or a shocking moment. These tend to decay and change over time depending on many factors. Someone with a...

I don't think that $2 bills were always rare. My grandma always used to give me them when I was younger. Unless she just collected them over many years. I still have most of them somewhere. I should probably hang onto them, I don't think they are being made anymore.

Is that a true story or has our dear friend Tannin gone completely crazy? Time to commit yourself Tony?

You can probably use the same command line args that work with IE6 to download the whole thing. There was a big discussion on this in another thread. I'm sure someone will remember them and be so kind to tell us how to do it though.

Ya, I meant Comcapital. My car is undriveable though, which means I should get it fixed pretty soon in case I actually need to go somewhere.

Comdisco already ripped me off once on a Radeon 7000. But, let me know if you see a good deal on their price sheet some time. I really don't even have money for a monitor right now, I was just interested. The exhaust manifold on my stupid Wrangler just broke which will cost about $600 to fix...

I decided to check out some new monitors because my 17" Sony (220GS) monitor has a nice scratch right in the middle, it gets annoying after awhile. I can across this while I checked out the Sony site. The same monitor is over $400 on pricewatch. Is this monitor any good? Is it a good deal or...

It's also on Windows Update.

That article is meant to be a joke. Lighten up people.

The most impressive thing about that drive is the super low noise and heat levels...simply amazing!

Coke is the word that more people in the world understand than any other word. More than NO or OK. That says something big right there.

I was testing a regular P4 1.6 and it was able to crunch SETI at about the same speed as my Athlon XP 1800+. Maybe F@H is more FPU oriented...

Does anyone else here read slashdot regularly?

I used to get all my news from Anandtech when they actually updated news every day (couple years ago). After their news slowed down I pretty much stopped reading hardware news all the time. In the last couple months I started reading slashdot which almost always has the most up to date news...

I run a Radeon 7000 and I really doubt I will ever buy another ATI product after all the problems I had getting that to work. I have never had a problem getting a nVidia card to work. (unless beta drivers were being used). I can't tell a difference in image quality anyways...

Where can you get this from? I admit, I only scanned the article.

If you work for yourself as a consultant/contractor who deals mainly with cash then you can pretty easily lie to the government about how much you make and in turn pay a lot less taxes. Ask Mercutio for more details... I am willing to bet that 90% of contractors do it. My friend who works for...

The 1 gen Hummer is so much cooler than that new one, which is built on a Suburban frame. I heard somewhere that you can buy ones that were used by the army for around $12k, sounds like a deal to me... I have a Wrangler which gets horrible gas mileage (12-15mpg) but offroading in it is truley...

Being an electrician sounds good to me. Union wage is $36/hour, doesn't sound too bad to me. Plus Chicago is the biggest union city in the country, it's hard to hire someone who isn't part of a union.

Actually it seems that after I go back to school I have more time to spend on the internet, because my friends have to do homework during the week for some reason. But, I just sit in front of the computer for hours on end. Plus, I have been working 40 hours a week this summer which sucks. I...

Hey Will did you read the rest of the thread because Groltz already found about 5 places that you can download IE6 from and he also had a link that showed how to download the full version from MS.

You can run setup from DOS. Just get a CD-ROM driver installed and go into the i386 directory on the XP CD. The command to start setup is winnt.exe. You will want to have smartdrive installed otherwise setup will take 3 times as long.

At the office I get frequent visits from giant wasps. These are the biggest wasps I have ever seen. About 1.5 inches long, they fly real slow but they make a ton of noise and there is no way in hell I would want to get stung by one of them. So I am forced to kill them. The best way is to use...
