I have a Gateway that requires input via pen. If I got another I would make sure that it could accept input from touch. The next one I am looking at is this small one by Asus.

Wow John, you've managed something I didn't think was possible; make my insane system (see sig) look somewhat reasonable. You do realize that 10k SCSI drives and bonded GbE is insane overkill for just about anybody? I'm not sure what you paid for those drives, but that plus the cost of the SCSI...

Interesting guess. I ran a Verify of the array overnight and now all the drives read "OK". Oh well...

3 Drives in a 3 Drive Stripe are showing status as "UNCONV DCB". The 3Ware manual only mentions that this could be the displayed status, without giving any indication of what it means. It shows as a warning, not a failure; and the drive is part of a striped set that is still fully functional...

For me that is never the issue. Long before then I "need" something better. ;)

Those are some really severe cuts...I do hope they survive the current price war.

BIOS detects just fine. XP without extra drivers detects it just fine at first, and only after copying files, rebooting, and going into the GUI-based portion of the install does it pop up with the I/O device error.

Distance? 10-20 feet; I'll be shooting from the edges of the room. I will have a mini-tripod, as my hands are useless at holding still.

The motherboard in question (and all the motherboards I've used for at least 3 years) have SATA integrated into the BIOS. No F6, no special drivers. Hard drives and opticals are detected in the BIOS and boot successfully.

Sorry e_dawg, the cat was just an analogy. I am interested in shooting tango dancers at events. These events are typically very dark and very crowded. The one I host is in a 6000 sq.ft. ballroom and I use 5 100W wall sconces (indirect at that) to light the room. I'll be shooting at a distance of...

Mid-priced. Right. ;) I assume that means anything short of insanity? I'm still enjoying my cheap Onkyo system.

Any experiences? Good/bad combinations? I've got a Samsung SH-S183 DVD-RW connected to a Gigabyte GA-945GZM-S2. Vista works fine, Feisty works fine. XP crashes in the GUI part of the install with an IO error, both MSDN w/SP2 and TinyXP.

What I'm looking for I fear is impossible. Something similar to photographing a cat jumping off a candle-lit table without flash. From 20 feet away.

Good to hear. I wish him well on whatever he is doing, and look forward to hearing about it upon his return.

Agreed. I am no Linux guru, but I thought it wouldn't be too difficult to pull the software off and just put on Firefox and Open Office. Boy was I wrong. So many packages and sub-packages, and so many dependencies.

I've had my eye on this camera for quite some time. I'm specifically interested in its performance in low light motion shots where flash is not allowed.

I think you got it.

With an 800Mhz FSB...doesn't that give it a multiplier cap of 2? I suspect that would be rather limiting.

Merc is showing incredible restraint. It's a good thing I didn't hold my breath (or start a congratulatory thread early) ;)

Well, thanks a lot...I was actually productive today. ;)

Uh....oh...well my DNS wasn't resolving...;)

Well that was quick...good job Handruin!

Wow Howell, those are some amazing UL numbers. That is with the basic plan? Did you do anything erm, special, with your modem? I'm concerned that my UL has been capped in some way due to the fact that I use most of it most of the time. I don't even know if this is possible with cable modem tech.

I have the cheapest Comcast Cable there is, but I am only 7 miles from the test server (14ms latency)

In this case it only means re-ripping about a hundred audio CDs. I've done worse.

For some reason, when I'm really tired, a specific keyboard combination becomes really easy: Ctrl-A Shift-Delete Enter :arge:

Nope. But if my 7950GT can handle 1600x1200, a new card should manage the new resolution.

I've got an older card, and it still holds up to 1600x1200 abuse rather well...

My next will be a 30"; I'm not giving up any of my vertical space (presently using a 21.3" 4:3), so that means going big ;)

Sounds like things are going well for you JTR. If my math is right that is over 20mph for 4 miles straight? Not bad at all. ...and I paid $1.50 for a bottle of water at lunch. My reasoning? It was healthier than the alternative (can of coke). If tap water was available, it would have been the...

It's still a C2D....I don't think they are calling them C2Q, are they?

As I'm stepping up the FSB, all I check for is whether it will get to a desktop. After it fails, I start backing down and checking about 10 minutes of Prime95. After I find a stable speed, I run it overnight to be sure (and may experiment with lower voltages as well).

Ok. Thanks Bozo. I knew about the Ctrl+F1; it's been there for years. Was it Coug that said DDR3 wasn't as fast at the moment?

I'm using the latest Firefox. I know about the sub-forum thing, but it seems odd that it only affects the computers forum and not the others. No big deal, especially if it isn't affecting anyone else. Didn't know about the double-click thing...thanks ;)

This might be a browser issue, or something else me-related, but I can't tell. After reading all the posts in the computers forum and returning to the main page, it still shows the orange "new posts" icon until I go back into the forum, see that there are no new posts, and go back to the main...

Nice. Well done.

I'm a bit confused by this. Do you need to re-enter all your OC settings every time you reboot? Voltage, Freq, Mult, etc? What about RAM timings? That could be a real PITA.

From what I've heard, DDR3 isn't outperforming DDR2 at the moment. True? If so, it seems the GA-P35-DQ6 is the board to get at present if money isn't an issue.

Intel's C2D chips seem to be the way to go for the foreseeable future, and Merc has turned me into a believer of Gigabyte's combination of stability, features and price. Newegg.com currently features 19 motherboards made by Gigabyte for the S775 platform. GIGABYTE GA-8I865GME-775-RH-AS LGA 775...

Which would require: 1) Disabling MAC filtering to see it. 2) Figuring out which of the 30+ connected clients is the new one. I know where to see the MAC on OSX, Win98-Vista, and even Linux. No-one here has an iPhone yet?

A thread for misc iPhone stuff. Does anyone know where to find the MAC address on one?

Lunar, What would cause you to get a body from a second (non compatible) manufacturer? Surely your original choice (Cannon) makes a body with the features you are after that would support your existing lenses? Collecting lenses for 2 different lines seems a bit...crazy?

You guys want invites to parties with lots of women? Fine. Get yourselves some basic tango skills (3 months @ 2 hours a week?) and I can set you up 2:1. My GF gets jealous when there are too many women about (apparently I'm a bit flirty) so the extra guys would be a bonus.

<said under breath while coughing> ahmhericancar </said under breath while coughing> Ugh, sorry. That happens to me sometimes...;)

Apparently so: Forbidden: Your client does not have permission to get URL /s1600 from this server. :p

I'm in the middle of about 50 Compaq C551NRs ($400). They get an image on first boot.

My question is: why isn't the energy/water in the cost already? Clearly someone is (should be?) paying for the energy/water, so that should be factored into the cost already. If it isn't, that means that someone isn't paying what they ought to for the resources they are using. If water and...

That is the one. Rooftop pool? $100 champagne? Too bad you are so far away, we could throw some decent parties (I provide women and you provide everything else. ;)

Cost.

Three thoughts: 1. Job security 2. That tool that cleans all the crap from a new computer automatically 3. 4AM? Getting frisky? ;)
