Front page of the Chicago Trib today. I think Arthur Anderson is really screwed now. I have a feeling that American Business is about to see another period of heavy regulation coming it's way. My predicion is that the SEC is going to start cracking some skulls to make sure this kind of crap...

Some service providers require you to have client for ms networks checked or they won't work properly.

Go to the properties for the dial-up connection and the last tab should say sharing. Click it. Then click the check box where it says share this connection. Your NIC in the computer with the dialup connection will start serving DNS numbers to any computers on the network. So set any other...

I can get the Viewsonic E70f for $152 (+shipping). It is supposed to be flat and doesn't cost all that much. Anyone see anything wrong with this? 17" is a strech because of the amount of deskspace available, so there is no way that a 19" monitor would ever fit. I'll suggest it to him though.

$180 is too much money. What is the cheapest 17" Flat screen I can get? I don't care what shady manufacturer makes it, as long as it has a trinitron or diamondtron tube in it. My dad won't be able to tell a difference anyways.

Hey Buck, since I am lazy could you tell me what refresh rate that monitor will run at in 1024x768? If you don't know I will go look it up, but since you sell them, I am guessing that you know...

That price includes shipping....$10 UPS Ground. After I checked reseller ratings I am not going to trust them though. Maybe I will just get it from Newegg and pay $160 (w/shipping).

I can get that for $148 from EMS computing. Anyone ever ordered from them before?

My dad wants to get a new 17" monitor for his computer. He doesn't need anything too great, but it should be totally flat (FD). I don't care if it is a trinitron or a diamondtron, I can't tell the difference anyways. So what do you guys reccomend for about $140-$170?

Check this thread. It might not be possible with VB6 but you can do it with VB.net.

Have you been over to The Extreme Visual Basic Forum? I have gotten some good help over there in the past.

http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/map-power-reactors.html Here is a map of all the operating plants in the US. The Dresden plant is about an hour west of me in Morris, IL. There are no nuclear power plants in Indiana though Merc. Wisconsin and Michigan both have a couple though.

Where did you find that information Cliptin? I would be interested to know how far the plants are away from where I am.

I've never written a program that runs on the command line in VB. But, is there a way to refer to the command line (cmd.exe) as an object. Because, then you could just do cmd.print textfile.txt or something like that. Other than that I am pretty stumped on this one.

So your help file is going to be some kind of text file that opens in the command prompt? If you post some of your code I can probably help you.

Check out Yahoo Shopping if you are looking for a good deal on consumer electronics. The prices I find on there are generally 20% lower than Best Buy. Sometimes even lower, and I have never had a problem with any of the Yahoo Shopping stores before. A good example is the JVC HR-S2901. Best...

$160 for just the drive would be a fair asking price. I will give you $150 if you don't sell it.

Please do. It is ugly.

Ya, but it was damn funny though.

I bet they will have the parts to fix it. I recently was looking for Compaq parts for a laptop that is about that old. And Compaq still had all the replacement parts for it. The price for them was really high though. $380 for a DVD replacement drive? $1600 for a replacement LCD panel? Give...

You could filter your incoming air. But that would decrease the amount of airflow that you get.

Cliptin, Rush is touring this summer. I plan on seeing them if I can find someone to go with me. They are playing 4 miles from my house....

Sock puppets do not count as real people!

Next you'll dump the X15's and get a bunch of Barracuda IV's...

The Who is coming to Chicago in August...if I have enough money I will go scalp some tickets and see them. Can't pass up seeing a group as good as The Who... Oh ya and Rush is coming here in July...can't miss that either.

Pink Floyd - The Wall This kind of thing changes from week to week for me. But right now this is what I have been listening to. (Plus it's a double disc :) ). Can I bring the movie too it's got the same name? BTW if you haven't seen "The Wall" then go rent it. Man what a F'ed up movie.

Will Miller still be based in Milwaukee? This won't increase the price of Miller Lite at all will it?

Since no one acknowledged this post I will. That is a great line. If anyone doesn't understand this line, it came from Terminator 2. Just try to imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger saying it.

Does someone want to translate?

Thanks Buck. I got the Asus board because of all the cool extra features it has. Plus, it got pretty good reviews. It has 4 USB2.0 ports, firewire, crappy Promise RAID. I'm not using any of the addons right now, but I will be hooking up a Digital8 camcorder sometime in the future which...

Thanks for the reply, but I think I already figured it out. I forgot that this motherboard has onboard sound and I never disabled it when I put the system together. You can't disable it in the bios you have to set a jumper. How dumb is that?

I have had this SB Live! in my system for about 2.5 years now. I recently changed motherboards from an Asus P3V4X to an Asus A7V333. Both boards have Via chipsets. This is the first time that I have run into problems. The problem is weird. When a sound is played the whole system will lock...

I have had many problems with ATI recently also. I spent 4 hours one day trying to get a Radeon VE to work. Then I put a Geforce2 in and it worked immediately. Took the Geforce back out after 2 days and put in the Radeon again and it worked perfectly. Go figure...ATI really needs to work on...

Doug, At this point I see no reason that you can't decide if something is controversial. There aren't that many members here with more than 100 posts anyways. I don't even know what I would want my title to be....

Is it faster if you pay and get the version without ads?

You could make it so that after a certain number of posts users are allowed to get a custom title. One of the forums that I read lets users have a custom title after 1600 posts. This way you wouldn't be changing titles all the time and creating new ones constantly. Or you could do it so that...

I don't come here for 36 hours and the whole place falls apart... Prof & Coug - you should both cool off. I don't even think that there are any issues here that are so damn important that you guys need to get worked up about (That sentence is horrible, but I don't feel like fixing it). It's...

So who is the mirror? Tannin or Flagreen? I have a feeling it is Tannin...

My full name is Tim Whitney. I would have registered my last name if I could have. But, Whitney is a fairly common last name and it was taken with every extension. I wouldn't even know how to pronounce your last name Prof. Anyways, it's the Italians that are the hitmen not the Greeks. Don't...

Prof, that is freaking hot. Is your computer ever unstable? I ran into some problems with my Athlon running about 70C. System would become unstable and whatnot.

Those are my friends and me at a party from a couple of weeks ago. I put them up so people could go and look at them.

I'll pass on the compliments, he will be pleased to hear them. His yard is like an obsession, he thinks he has finally gotten it the way he wants it...and now my mom wants to move. He actually won the Homewood Garden award a few years ago, but that only takes into account the front yard. The...

My Athlon 1800+ runs at 55C and that is with 2 case fans and a fairly big heatsink. Unless you have some super duper cooling solution I doubt yours will be much cooler.

If anyone wants to see pictures of a garden...I threw up some pictures of my dad's garden, he spends every spare minute out there. http://www.timwhit.com/garden These are from the backyard and they are a few weeks old, things look a bit fuller now.

I didn't think you drank Merc? Well, nows as good of time as any to start... It will make all your problems go away...at least until the next morning.

The only reason I don't know if I would buy an Athlon again is how damn hot it runs. I had to put one of them loud ass CPU fans on there and another case fan, and it still runs hotter than my old PIII. Other than that it works great.

The thing is, is that Access creates code that is just as good for simple tasks as any programmer. I don't see how any memory leaks could come from this? I'm not talking about complicated things here, like a command button that adds a new record or deletes a record...it's pretty hard to have a...

All I use my registrar for is to register the domain name and I give them the name server details that my hosting service uses. Or you can use zoneedit for free and use their dns server---and point zoneedit to whatever site you want to.

My counter argument to this is that I use wizards in Access all the time to create simple command buttoms or to fill in a subform with data automatically. I can do it manually, but why bother? It even puts in code for error checking, and it does it a lot faster than I ever could. If something...

I used zoneedit for a long time and just had it forwared to a geocities page...the ads never showed up for some reason. Maybe it was because I had the web forward cloaked or something. Actually I just checked one of the pages that uses zoneedit for it's DNS server and still no ads pop up. It...
