But the Grammar Polices' location says "We are everywhere!" Which implies that there are more than one of them. I still think it should be 'are'. It would be like saying where is the police? Or Where is the Chicago Police? Neither is grammatically correct. Where is Police officer Poncho...

Where are the Grammar Police.

It would be worth it if the unthinkable happened and something bad happened to Doug, or in case of nuclear war (I doubt Ballarat would be a prime target). I don't see how it could hurt anything.

Buck, you do realize that we can't tell a damn thing from that picture.... Where are you camping there?

Where are you moving Merc? Please don't say somewhere in Indiana again... :) Have you been around Orland Park at all? It's a pretty nice area, and it's a lot closer to the city, with a Metra station in Tinley Park.

Why don't you just create a bootdisk on a machine with a regular floppy drive then copy the data over to the LS120 disk. Or is this used for teaching purposes? If so why not just get a couple floppy drive and install them in the machines. Even better would be to show the students how to...

As long as you are sorry in your heart, I will forgive you. But, only this once. Cyberdrive 32x12x48 That's the drive I have, only costs $53. It's fast, not too loud, has good compatibility with a variety of media, and best of all it's real cheap. I put a Lite-On 32x burner in a friend's...

Cough..Cough.....didn't you read my post???

Looks to be a ways off from being complete. I think the XBox will cost a lot less by the time this project is done. Has Microsoft sued them yet?

I stopped buying expensive burners after I had several of them break. I paid less than $70 US for my 32x12x48 Cyberdrive and it has worked fine for the 400 or so CDs I have made on it. You can get this drive for $53 from Newegg now. Performance is fine also. Does anyone actually use a CD-ROM...

That's a good price. Lowest price at pricewatch is $498 + Shipping.

One tip...don't but Special Export light, it takes like crap. If you want extra cheap beer get some Milwaukee's Best Light, we call it the beast. Doesn't taste good out of a can, but it is good out of a keg (well at least it goes down like water). Are you listening Bartender? Does anyone...

My drink of choice is Miller Lite. If I can afford it, I will get a 6 pack of Rolling Rock. I'm not a big fan of mixed drinks, but if the opportunity presents itself I enjoy a good long island ice tea. However, if it isn't made right it can really taste like crap. If I am going to take a...

The site was down for hours today. From about 4 or 5 this afternoon until 10 tonight, CST. I don't think I like Burst very much.

To get the whole use of the hard drive, since the bios is not seeing it you can use easy drive or another hard drive utility like that. I would reccomend that you use Win95B on the laptop since it is so slow. 95B has Fat32 and all the other important fixes and runs a bit faster than 98.

Most SACD discs are only 2 channel, at least the ones I have seen. DVD-audio is 5 channel.

At most bars if you say you are the designated driver they will give you free coke. At least the bars I go to.

I was just joking around Cliptin, maybe I should use smileys next time...

Isn't that the point? Try rum and coke, or just take shots of peppermint schnopps. Have you ever been to a bar before?

I always drink beer. But, I like long island iced tea's if you are looking for a mixed drink.

This is true, and there are many people that can tell the difference between a CD and vinyl. I can't, but they say that CDs sound harsher. With a truly high end record player and a brand new record it will sound better than any CD, at least more accurate. I doubt there is anyone who could...

There are still lots of tube amps sold. Mostly high end stuff, go into any high end audio store and I'm sure they will have a few tube amps. Most of them cost several grand. Tube amps are supposed to make music sound more natural. They add distortion in a way that no integrated amp can...

Might as well go, better than sitting at home. Have a few drinks, it will make talking to strangers easier. Have a few more and you can talk to anyone then.

Coug, you are always so optimistic. Where did you get this way from? Oh ya, Happy Birthday to you guys. What are you doing to celebrate?

One of my friends is always getting hit on by guys...it's always good for a laugh.

I need to get me one of them iToliets...sounds like one sweet piece of hardware.

If you start smoking then the smoke won't bother you as much. Start drinking too this will give you more self confidence for those situations where you meet someone that you would normally not talk to.

Pull everything that isn't needed to boot. So you will just have motherboard, CPU, memory, video, and hard drive. If it boots then put each device in one at a time and see which device is causing the problem.

Is the point that the Itanium 2 is a good CPU? Or is it that the Itanium 2 isn't worth the extra cost over consumer CPUs?

Played it till 4:30 am last night. It's pretty good...it should be it took 7 years to develop it.

If you hold the camera backwards and point it at your face, there is a possibility that it will take a picture of you.

When I work as a tech (every couple weeks or so), almost every utility or tool is on a floppy disk. Norton Disk Doctor, Partition Magic, Easy Drive...all on floppies. It's just easier. Every computer has a floppy drive that comes in to be fixed. Lots of computers don't have bootable CD-ROM...

Tell your vendor that it is bad and RMA it. If you got it from somewhere reputable then you shouldn't have any problems.

If none of them worked then ECS would be out of business. I would first try the 1800 in another board or try another 1800 in the same board. Whichever is easier.

Are you sure that the 1800 works? Maybe it is a bad chip. Try it in another board.

101. You can recompile a linux kernel without a monitor. (I saw someone do this.)

What about you Merc? A description isn't good enough, we want pictures. I will get a picture of myself soon...

That's great...but Tannin said that Kristi was much prettier...

I almost burst out laughing when I saw that picture of me that Tannin posted...but then I remembered that I'm at work and my boss might wonder what the hell is wrong with me. (I'm supposed to be commenting code right now, not reading SF).

Good try, I'm almost that nerdy...but no glasses and blonder hair. Wait, I'm not a nerd.

Tannin, you look like you need a cup of coffee in that picture. I'll eventually get a good picture of myself, it might not be possible.

I listened the The Who - Who's Next? a couple times tonight...kinda my own little memorial service. Think I will listen to Quadrophenia in a bit.

Mark, where is your mouse?

People I don't know will try to talk to me, but I usually just ignore them. Or in a worse case scenario you can always block them.

They were supposed to start their tour tomorrow in Las Vegas. Anyone know if they are going to tour at all this summer?

Where did you go to school Merc? Purdue? IU?

I haven't run more than 6 times in the last 2 years. 5 or 6 miles really isn't that far for me. I'm not that light, 160lbs, knees don't seem to be bothering me at all yet. I was always under the impression that the best way to increase VO2 max was to run over 8 miles and really push while...

After the crash of '29 the SEC was put into place along with the FDIC and some other agencies that I can't remember right now. These agencies were supposed to protect the public from a huge crash ever happening again. But, like I said before...as soon as the market starts to slide the...

The trains to Chicago are pretty useful. I can get on about 3/4 mile from my house and in about 45 minutes I will be downtown Chicago on Michigan Ave for about $3. Versus driving which costs a couple bucks for gas and then between $10 and $20 for parking. The train is a bargain. On the 3rd...

I ran track and cross-country all through high school. But, after that I pretty much stopped running entirely. I think the main reason was that I had gotten tired of it, and my knees would hurt pretty much all the time. Running 35-45 miles a week gets old after 4 years. But, a couple days...
