I thought we moved awhile back? Are we still on Burst?

Why are there so many different forums on there? It is hard enough to read 5 like on most sites let alone 20...

I'm sure most of you remember him from a couple years ago. IIRC he disappeared from SR with 999 posts. (Way before the big crash) Was he a sock puppet of someone else or just really weird?

Have any of you guys that build model cars and trucks ever built a plane? Have you ever operated one before? To me flying a plane looks like a lot more fun than driving a model car. I drove a model car a few years ago when one of my friends built one and it got old pretty quick. Never raced...

Come on, no one wants this drive?

Well I'm sure it costs more to lease a $23000 computer than a $6000 computer. Who is in charge of deciding what computers you use anyways?

One other thing, with all the media attention wrong prices get and people ordering these things you would think that online stores would check over posted prices a whole bunch of times before they go online. Everyone makes mistakes, but these mistakes should be corrected before they go online...

If I saw an error in a price on a website I might try to order one. But, if they simply returned my money I wouldn't pursue it any further, nor would I pout about it. I don't see anything wrong with trying.

If anyone is interested in reading all of the things fixed by SP3 (and there are a crapload of them) here is the link. http://www.activewin.com/win2000/sp3bugs.shtml

Ya, It's called drive overlay software. Takes about 2 minutes to install.

Merc, why don't you go to your local library and download it there? And put it on a zip disk or whatever else is easy. Most medium sized libraries have DSL or T1 nowadays.

DAMN IT TEA you did it again. TIMWHIT TIMWHIT TIMWHIT

Maybe it is bad, but that doesn't mean I am going to buy a new one. I bought OEM and I can't return it even If I wanted to. Almost everything is set to default, not OCed at all. Still hasn't crashed either, so I'm not going to worry about it anymore unless it starts crashing again.

I'm getting about 100K/s, thanks for the tip Gary. Now I need to go find out what it fixes.

The reason I still do SETI is that I have close to 2000 results. I started over 2 years ago, and I'm not about to stop now and have 0 results on F@H.

I found that there is no warranty on this drive because it was a system pull from an AS/400 or something like that. But, I still have it sitting in a box. I guarantee no DOA, no bad sectors, no problems at all. $100 shipped.

Q) What is the one thing you don't want to run out of while camping? A) Cheese Whiz

The system has been running at full load for the last 10 hours or so without locking up. When I went home for lunch the CPU was at 61C, but the room also felt relatively cool. Which reinforces my belief that if I cool the chip better I won't have to worry about it locking up.

I just read a review of that Arctic Silver crap and it was less than a degree better than the normal crap they give you when you buy a half way decent heatsink. They can't fool me... The fan on the Heatsink I have right now runs at around 2700RPM. How do you propose that I increase this? If...

OK Tannin isn't quite as crazy as I originally thought. The site was just down for the last 3 minutes or so. 2:10PM - 2:13PM CST

The Voodoo card is an add-on. It is only for 3D, so you will need a 2D card anyways. I think I still have one somewhere, I think it is a Diamond Monster 3D. You know you could build an almost new system for a little more money. Something to consider, you could still use all those old crappy...

I don't really have another MB to play around with. Nor can I get the machine to lockup consistently. Which really makes the problem a lot harder to figure out. Last night I ran SETI all night long and this morning the machine was still running fine at 63C. I think the ambient air temp is...

Ya, and you spelled my nick wrong.

Tea, I think you have gone crazy...or maybe it's that new cable?

Currently 35C for the case temp, 63C for the CPU. I am using the Asus PC Probe to get my numbers. The weirdest thing that it reports is the +12 Voltage is 13.24. This seems way to high to me, could this be a problem? I used thermal paste when I put the HSFan on, and yes I know how to apply...

Q) Who makes the crappiest PC in the world? A) Viagra

I built myself a new Athlon XP 1800+ system a few months ago. But, I have not been impressed with how hot the CPU runs. Under normal usage it is around 59C. Under full load the CPU is up around 65C. If I leave SETI running overnight the damn thing will lock up tight half the time. The HSFan...

Try here: http://www.computeradjusters.com I didn't see anything on pricewatch. eBay is probably your best bet.

I like the Logitech keyboards more than anything. They aren't too expensive, I just ordered one for somebody for less than $12. They seem to hold up well too.

OK, I see it now. That is absolutely horrible, I hope they didn't pay an ad agency to come up with that.

I was curious to see if Storage Forum had improved at all in the search department. So I did a search for "storage forum" and now it shows up 6th. Not too bad at all if you ask me. It's not a link to the front page, rather a link to the forums. Better than nothing though...

Buck, you picture isn't coming up.

Can't buy anything now, I am buying a new Harman Kardon AVR-320 receiver. Plus my cable bill will be over $90 starting in August. How come as soon as @Home went out of business, everything got a lot more expensive?

Dang, I could have used those fans.

conjunctivitis is more annoying that painful, at least that's how it affected me. I just wanted to keep itching it but I knew that I shouldn't. Did you get it in both eyes or only one? Get some Opcon A it helps with the redness and makes it itch a lot less.

There were commercials for Warp??? What were they like? I am probably too young to remember. I do remember when IBM Aptivas came with OS/2 and Windows 3.1 in a dual boot config. My parents bought one for my sister in about 1995 when she went away to college. But I formatted the drive and...

What did you have? Just wondering ya know...

Mars, did you ever post on SR? I don't remember seeing you over there.

I started drinking coffee this summer because I have to be able to stay awake at work. I get it at a local bakery every morning. 1 16 oz cup with sugar. I tried to make my own but it tasted like crap, so I think I will just pay the dollar for something that I know will taste better. The only...

It seems that any system with a Norton or Mcaffee product on it is much slower than without. Why do you need antivirus software anyways. I haven't gotten a virus in about 5 years. If you just don't open e-mail attachments that are viruses then you won't get a virus.

I would rather take any X15's or one of those Cisco routers that you have lying around...

I use F3 to find files. And I also use ctrl-F to find words in a document quite a bit. There were a few shortcuts that you listed that I wasn't farmiliar with, I'll see if I can remember them.

I still visit a couple times a week, but all the posts in the Computer forum just seem like they should be in Tech Support (Which no longer exists) The marketplace is utterly useless now that replies aren't allowed. And the B&G over there doesn't really get all that much traffic, compared with...

I saw that a few months ago on slashdot. The only problem with it is that it would be real hard to change out any parts. Oh and of course the foam is a pretty good insulator, which would definately cause problems with hotter components.

I was just wondering what Windows shortcuts you guys use. The ones I use a lot are alt-tab, alt-F4, ctrl-enter (in IE so I don't have to type www. & .com), and ctrl-alt-del mainly to bring up task manager. I know ctrl-shit-esc brings up the task manager but I don't really use it much. I also...

I was just wondering how old some of the newer members are. So I though I would resurrect this thread. Oh ya, I'll be 21 in a month and 3 days. I'll accept any parts or cash you guys want to send my way. :wink:

It's just tough for me to keep my trap shut when I see a Simpsons reference. I have all 13 seasons in VCD format, so I have seen every episode at least 5 times. Please continue with the serious discussion now.

Damnit, I was too slow...

Who controls the British crown Who keeps the metric system down We do! We do! Who leaves Atlantis off the maps Who keeps the Martians under wraps We do! We do! Who holds back the electric car Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star We do! We do! Who robs the cave fish of their sight Who rigs every...

It seems that the majority of new motherboards have onboard sound, and it doesn't really cost any more to get one with onboard sound. So whenever I build someone a computer I have just started to use the onboard sound. It sounds good enough for the average user anyways. I just built a...
