Only occurs when running Kapersky 6 or 7? Apparently this was easy enough for everyone else to avoid?

I think the phones need some more computing power before they can be as good as the computer programs, but those can handle accents. Even without learning, Vista's voice recognition was able to handle Russian, German, and Canadian accents quite well.

I would be perfectly happy with a phone that looked like a bluetooth headset. Voice activation/recognition and text-to-speech are really ready as technologies.

Oh, I'm hairy? I wonder how long that has been going on? ***Puberty at last*** Well, we needed another hairy one to replace Merc, who has moved on to bigger and better things. ;)

I was looking at the larger, more capable cell phones, but I really do travel with my laptop just about all the time, so all I want is a cell phone with EVDO and tethering that is as small as possible. Priorities: Bluetooth EVDO Thin Narrow Light Short Removable storage Not a flip phone I...

Considering all my contacts went with the phone, I need to keep my number so they can reach me. Transferring my number to a different service will take too long. I'll probably just get a Motorola MOTOSLVR L7c. It seems to be the thinnest phone they sell (most significant measurement when carried...

^^(shortest post ever.)

:p

As I mentioned in "Something Random", my cell phone bricked itself. I've been using an LG VX9800 on Verizon for years. I have a KRZR K1 in my trunk that I was thinking of switching to, but I'm thinking of re-evaluating my service as well. My GF is still using the pre-pay phone she got years...

Based on many forum posts around the 'net, my phone is toast. Of course, I never did get around to backing up my contacts (100+), many of which I don't have elsewhere. I'll start a cellphone thread and see what's what.

My trusty VX9800 cellphone seems to have bricked itself. I just glanced over at it, and the "Verizon Wireless" boot screen is displayed and the status LED is red. Nothing is happening. Every minute or so it goes blank and seems to reboot back to the same screen. Removing the battery for a...

2004...is it an SATA hard drive? Does your old drive have a 3rd-party SATA controller? Might as well plug it in and try. If it fails, try doing a "repair" installation...

Turns out SARG has an active pre-built plugin for Smoothwall V2.0 and 3.0. Looks great. Testing now.

Thanks for the tip, blakerwry. The 3 that looked most promising were Squidalyser, Squint, and SARG. SARG seems to be the only one thats still in development (others last revised ~2002), but Squint seems to have the best looking reports. I'll give SARG a try and see if I can customize the reports.

It's not for my home, that runs a decent-sized company (~1300 employees).

I have a cheap tablet PC in there, for surfing on the can. It can also stream music via wireless. I haven't installed speakers yet, I'll probably wait until we buy a house.

It probably generates about 150W of heat, I don't think that would be enough for the purpose. But the rack in total is 67A@120V = 8040 Watts! That is more than enough ;)

Works from home...I wonder why it timed out from the office. Ugh...good thing I'm moving closer to work. Edit: Heh, if I drove a 1985 'Vette, it would be 75,000lbs per year.

I like this idea. The firewall in question is the beast mentioned in the "Something Random" thread, and could easily handle another GbE port and the involved routing. All the servers are on a dedicated bank of managed switches anyway, so additional hardware is a non-issue. Thanks for the idea.

Did you typo the address? It's timing out from here...

Client has a couple hundred employees and wants to know if they are going places they shouldn't on company time. They don't want to block it (yet), just know how serious a problem it is. I can see the logs from Dan's Guardian or similar, but the issue is that a single users purchase of a single...

I haven't built a system with a floppy in many years, my systems haven't had floppy drives installed since before 100MB ZIP drives.

I've made a number of flash drives bootable, using the UBCD or Ubuntu 6.10. Both involved partitioning and reformatting the drives. I don't think it's anything to worry about.

I suspect its with the graphics jacked up all the way and running at 1920x1200. I'm running at 1600x1200, and it's playable (see sig).

IIRC, the OS also needs to support booting from USB, or at least some drivers to support it. What OS are you trying to run? There are a number of Linux Distro how-tos that are very comprehensive.

This system is a dedicated firewall, the OS does nothing but route and filter traffic between Ethernet ports (like a Linksys router). It just happens to be on steroids: A64 3000+, 512MB of RAM, and a 32GB 10k RPM hard drive in a Tyan 1U server chassis. I'm running antivirus, content filtering...

Geez, that thing is a beast. I bet your firewall doesn't have a raptor in it ;)

I know, but I'm actually using it elsewhere, and sending it to someone else. I didn't realize it would be so big...(TWSS*) *That's what she said

Where does it report FPS in the game? Or was that an approximation?

Seconded. Very fun as well. Still trying to figure out some of the tricks (exact location of the mega-goodies, etc).

Priscilla is hilarious. One of my parent's favorite movies. I suppose that explains a lot about me.

For the country or the world? Unlikely. Though I'm sure some Halliburton stockholders are willing to buy him a beer or two...

Heroes and Top Gear are the only shows I watch with regularity. Though the GF makes me watch Sex and the City, and I make her watch Good Eats.

I've dated a few women my mother's age...

My stuff: Today was the first major rain of the season. My 45-minute drive home took 3 hours, with over 20 accidents still in the lanes as I drove past.

Walmart is the drain filter of humanity.* I'm not saying you are a bad-looking guy, just that using walmart for comparison is not unbiased. *Rondom thought: If only we had a garbage disposal instead of a filter, we would be much better off.

Beautiful shot Handruin. Enjoying your new toy? What were the features that drove you to get it?

Yes, I already have the 18-55. And I still need to play with it some more for landscapes. Just curious if something shorter would be fun. Sounds like that is a yes. I know I have a lot to learn before I'll be knocking out decent pictures, but accumulating lenses isn't like accumulating computer...

When did realism and logic have anything to do with each other? People won't pay more for a car that does less. That performs worse, that is smaller, that has less range. What they need is irrelevant.

Yes Obi-Wan :p I've been reading up on composition, but I don't have an eye for it yet.

I'm hearing that there isn't much headroom in the 6400+, and that it is still 90nm. What is the fastest of their 65nm chips?

ICE = Internal Combustion Engine = regular cars.

I think I'll be getting that 60mm EF-S Macro next, though a wider-angle landscape lens would be nice. Is the 18-55 good for that? Or is there something I'm not considering?

Redundant array of inexpensive di*ks... Sorry, couldn't help it.

Looking over the list I noticed something I hadn't seen before. 5000+ Black Edition = unlocked multiplier ;)

Props to AMD for keeping themselves relevant. Not profitable, but relevant.

This is why the UAW is going to kill the big three. With ICE, all their experience and assets have given them some advantage vs. any newcomers. But with composite construction materials and electric motors, a lot of that advantage is gone. Sure it still costs a lot to build a car in volume, but...

That has been my recent experience as well. If there is any wind at all, trees and clouds are out. I tried taking 2 quick shots with my cat, but even though she was ready to pounce, there was too much movement. The statues were easy, nothing could move but the camera, and that is easy to correct...

Congrats on the new ride. Just to show you how little value I place in "safety" and specifically "mass", I'm now looking at a Lotus Elise. I was looking at a BMW 135i, but it weighs in at 3438lbs (1560Kg)! That is 1450lbs more than the Elise! If I end up getting a Series 1, that is 1 ton more...
