LOL, beat me to it. Though I find that such braille becomes more clear after the 10th or 20th reading...

All I can say is that when I installed their crap, it screwed my network connection. When I didn't install their crap, my network connection works fine. This includes many motherboards (most from Gigabyte) and many installs of XP and Server 2003.

Excellent work sechs, were there any key words that encouraged them to give the upgrade?

I'd hardly consider the last page we visited private information. It's something that you can choose not to share, but that doesn't mean you should. I could go around in life not telling anyone my name, but it wouldn't be a good idea, and may prevent me from doing certain things.

I don't make any changes in the BIOS. When the OS first installs, and I install drivers for the first time, it asks me whether I would like to use their firewall. I answer with the obvious "hell no" and it never bothers me again. No corruption, no added latency.

Tannin choosing not to share his bandwidth with people linking his pictures without permission seems a pretty reasonable decision. And this purpose seems to be the most useful application of referrers that I know of.

...and (different statistic) what the women's mothers look like.

None of them actually work, but the base product is fine. This is unlike VIA used to be and AOL still is. There is/was no way to get the functionality you actually wanted. There is/was no way to opt-out of bells and whistles that didn't work; or the basic functionality didn't work well/at all.

No idea. I haven't noticed, but I haven't been looking. I've dated a few people who were significantly larger than I am; but ended up leaving the relationship because of their lack of respect for themselves.

How does blocking referrers make it more secure? How can something that doesn't work as expected be "configured correctly"?

Same. I installed it once, lost any sort of useful network connection, and removed the whole thing. Not needed.

I don't run antivirus.

But if you buy Ultimate it comes with a Texas Hold'em Poker game!

I have not played with such a setting, and I use the fox, so it must be set to function properly by default.

Works fine from here. Are you having DNS issues sechs?

Good find Tannin. I like it for the control of the "close tab" button and the ability to hide a bunch of stuff (Address and Search "go" buttons, "all tabs" dropdown menu).

Handruin, I am perfectly content to stay where we are and do what we've been doing. This is great fun, and where I spend most of my free time, but to call it mission-critical would be a joke. The outages are not causing me great discomfort, or seriously impacting my experience here. I'm sure you...

Ubuntu installed fine, and performed quite well, but it isn't ready for prime-time as a workstation yet; even if the only complaint is that is has a clunky UI. As another note, Vista Ultimate went right on as well, not requiring a driver disk.

I'm not doubting you, but I am unable to replicate this situation. Using IE7 on Server 2003 and Vista (I don't actually have any XP boxes around at the moment). Do you have the URL so I can scan boxes when I get to them?

Interesting. For at least a few hours last night DNS wouldn't even resolve. I figured you were changing providers.

I've been playing with Linksys WAP54G WAPs, Buffalo WLEDA2 9dBi directional antennas, and the HyperWAP firmware. Great fun, great range. It's amazing what happens when you double the power output to the antennas. Of course, I would never do that, because the FCC doesn't like it.

I'm sorry to hear that Merc, I'm glad you had so much time with him.

<3-ing people would certainly be childish, but I think it is the perfect expression of the emotion one would feel towards their linux boxen...

I received and installed my 7950GT, and when used in conjunction with my onboard 6150 graphics, I'm having serious system freezes. LCDs 1 and 2 are connected to the 7950 via DVI, and Projector 1 is connected to the onboard. Anything that happens on LCD1 or Projector1 work just fine, but most...

Well, after I'm done 'evaluating' it, it will need a home. Considering I'm using 750GB drives, I suspect it would be overkill for my personal needs.

Don't knock Merc's 1337 txt skills!

Your post leads me to believe you have a very good idea of what you aren't, and that you are very capable of expressing that you aren't those things. What you really need is a better way to express what you are. This whole "I'm a still water that runs deep, if you want to get to know me it will...

Yes. This data is going from your server, to your workstation, and back to the server. If you use remote desktop to the server and perform the copy locally you will get better results.

;) I look forward to finding out. I just wish I had 16 identical drives to screw with.

...meaning you haven't met nearly enough people. Careful selection of venue can help, but nothing substitutes for pure volume, particularly if you are relatively inexperienced. My first 2 "serious" (more than 2 years) relationships were really wasted, regardless of whether they could have worked...

My 3Ware 9650 16-port has (finally) arrived, are there any particular tests you guys would like to see before it finds a permanent home?

Tentative is a major problem. If you can't take the risks, dating is certainly not for you. You have to be willing to over-extend yourself, both emotionally and intellectually, and be able to ask for them to do the same. If you only extend yourself when you feel completely comfortable, it will...

Whoever wrote their CMS must be using some of their customer's products (crack).

Indeed. Good catch.

Yep, sometime between 8AM PST and 11AM PST they resolved one of the errors.

That is a fantastic picture Tannin. I assume, considering how in-focus the tree kangaroo is, that it was the focus of the shot. How high a resolution is the entire shot?

I agree that the "hug here, kiss here" rules are too structured, but there is one hard rule that I have never seen an exception to: If you have sex on the first date, it won't last the month as anything more than a physical-only relationship. Emotions/connection first, sex later; or...sex only...

Excellent. Thanks for sharing. Do you happen to know if this works for office as well?

They work fine. I have even gone farther, with 2x PCIe cards and a PCI card. So long as they all have the same chip manufacturer you are fine. I currently have a 7950GT on order to replace my X1600 Pro, just so I can use the onboard 6150 video as well.

Does the drive contain sensitive data? Yes: Open drive, physically break platters and discard pieces into different waste bins after burning. No: Sell on E-bay and forget about it.

The other possible contender would be the UPS, I've had a number of them emit strange sounds at random. You might try isolating between the two before you start tearing apart your NAS.

Recommendations? GMail. Do you really think the other players in the business aren't learning from Google? My internal reasoning is that Google has more transparency, or at least more people watching them, so are less likely to do something actually evil.

?

You pretend this is always an option? Talk to Stanford Credit Union.

If you had to use a website that required IE and had ubuntu installed on your computer, what would be the easiest way to do it?

So essentially you are advocating a drop-ceiling with an even distribution of fluorescents and diffuser panels? That doesn't sound all that hard; if you can afford to lose some ceiling height.

A 1GB USB drive is $20. 1GB DDR2 is $110. Further; if your system is maxed with RAM (like Tannin's poor laptop), it could prove useful. It's not necessarily an either/or thing. Of course, that is only if it actually makes a difference...

Wasn't he convicted as a pedophile?

I just take a hammer to it before I throw it away; or give it to a friend who won't try and get the data.

...ahh, so that's what you call them ;)
