Yay! Internet access is up at my new place! I get to post from my own computer again; and just in time for my new machine (parts) to arrive on Monday.

Yeah, that would be me...but I told this woman that I want to marry her, buy a house together, and have her children...and I'm pretty sure I meant it. So, I guess, no more "bad man" for me.

No...things are going well, just not for this girl's her current husband. ;)

Is anyone here a divorce attorney? I'm in need of some advice...

None for the last decade, next decade looks good as well ;)

Thats my thought on the matter as well, Sol. The only way to do it these days would be to destroy the airplane immediatly; hijacking is impossible. And we have laptop batteries for that....

Yep. I'm just stoked to have 1.5TB in my portable desktop...and it still has room for one for drive ;)

I, and a bunch of people in different timezones, are online. Time for bed.

I don't really care. I listened for about 5 minutes and then put in a CD. 2 people dying and a bunch of people being inconvinenced many thousands of miles away is so irrelevant to be pathetic. I would care as much if you informed me how many ants I accidentally stepped on getting out of my car...

As part of a $3k+ newegg purchase, here are the specs for my new non-gaming system: Antec Aria SFF Chassis w/300W PS Gigabyte 6100 AM2 Mobo A64 4200+ (65W low-power version) Scythe Heatpipe Heatsink (if it fits) 2GB DDR2-800 RAM 2x 750GB Seagate SATA HDDs AzuenTech X-Plosion Soundcard I'm...

I hate what Americans are doing to themselves these days. A small airplane/helicopter crashed into a building in Manhattan this morning, and everyone first jumped to terrorism. Stupid.

It's becomming more and more likely that I will end up teaching dance for a living, and doing computers as only a hobby. I'm really looking forward to the time I can pretend to know nothing about the damned machines.

seconded, I laughed for quite a while

overheating could also be why the "newer" cards have bigger HSFs...

Totally agree. Some people complain when I tell them the Symantec product they just bought is crap. They ask if they can install it on another computer they have (!). If it's bad for your fast computer, it won't do that P2/333 any good, either.

Not sure really, somewhere between Morgan Hill and South San Jose. Just need a simple, small apartment. Don't even want a kitchen. A bedroom with attached bath would be great; want to simplify as much as possible. Life is getting kinda complicated at the moment.

$190 now.

Yep. I'm essentially single; I'll be moving out very soon. I timed it to go with a 10-day trip she's taking so I have time to get out in an organized fashion.

I'd forgotten what an exhilerating feeling it is to actually have feelings for someone and pursue them...I should do this more often ;)

Yup. And I'm selling 2-in-1 USB extension cables...supporting USB 1.1 and USB 2.0!

Thanks Guys, I modified the Group Policy so that all files are included and it works great.

Erm, that's actually really close to a price I would buy at. I'm looking at the iRAM solutions; considering 2GB DIMMS are $250 a piece, and it would take 4 of them, plus the card itself to only get 8GB...that doesn't look bad at all. 16GB ($1200) would be plenty. What is the performance...

I use dynamic disks for my fileservers. Spanned arrays seem to work fine, even after an OS rebuild I was able to re-import the drives. I also have a number of dynamic mirrors I use at clients without issue.

Keep your list of good passwords short and don't share them with anyone; including password management apps. Just don't; it's more secure than if you do. PUI.

I think he's less than 1000 miles from you Mark.

No offense taken; believe me when I say you aren't the first. :alien:

The mail itself is less of an issue. The calendar, contacts, and to-do lists are the most important. I've never seen anyone use so much in Outlook. Even if no mail was sent or recieved on the laptop it would be fine, so long as she could update and maintain the other things.

I'm hoping for either a workaround that will allow Sync to deal with PST files, or for some other automated check in/out system.

To answer Pradeep's question, this is to establish a fool proof system for when I'm no longer here. An exchange server is a bit of overkill...

Hi, My GF uses Outlook for everything and loves it. She has been using it on the desktop I built for her with her PST file stored on the server in the attic. Now I've bought her a laptop for use when she's on the road, and set up the built-in synchronization for all her files. Unfortunatly, it...

Tonight was really difficult. I couldn't tell her; as our plans for the night were to go dancing in Palo Alto, where the instructor for the was class the "other woman". Therefore me telling her would have created way too much drama for me to deal with. The GF is going on a trip on Thursday; I...

I actually got to do this again today. A family has many computers; every time they buy a new "family" PC, the older one gets passed down for dedicated use by one of the kids. The 13 year old was complaining that his games were going slow. I told him that if he didn't use the internet it would...

Everything is fine; more than fine actually. This is something that should have happened months ago, except that I haven't had the nerve to go through with it. Breaking up with someone who is both beautiful and intelligent is a hard thing to do; particlarly when you can't really put your finger...

My attendance may be impacted in the very near future...if I have the balls I'll be homeless (and single) in the next few days. Ended up having dinner yesterday with my shrink and my (soon to be divorced) next girlfriend...sometimes I think my story would make for good reading...

I got writing skillz, but sometimes PUI has it's limitations. I know you can write, but I can't help returning fire. :geek:

I noticed no difference, but my hardware isn't exactly sluggish.

;)

Oh, Server 2003 32-bit.

I installed WMP just for you...now that is commitment. And no, the X-Plosion doesn't support it.

Hey! It worked! http://www.brammo.com/

Because the 35W (and even the 65W) parts could clock much higher if they ran at the normal ~90W. Basically it's a part shortage of chips that are stable at the lower voltage.

I'll see if I can get one from last night. Posting pictures of beautiful women could be controversial, but if I'm in the picture than that provides the perfect excuse... (I did a Tango performance at a fasion show in Pebble Beach last night)

Oh, believe me, I charge by the hour. Plus drive time with a 2 hour minimum. I just also yell at them for being stupid while I'm billing by the hour. I found that if I don't make it clear that it's their fault that they need to pay me again, they might think I did a poor job in the first place.

The 65W CPUs are pretty common in 3800+ and 4200+ X2 varieties, but I want a 35W 3800+ X2 myself; and haven't had any luck.

The fact that it is prompting for the recovery console at all is a strong indicator that you chose the first repair option, instead of the second. You do not want the recovery console. Re-read the instructions above; unless you have proceeded through the F8 prompt at the EULA, you are doing it...

Pretty cool, I think. I drive by it (an all the other tech company buildings) five times a week. My favorite computer shop is one block from AMD's headquarters.

Why isn't that a basic desktop system? :P

Thanks Buck, but it was installed on their previous machine and the support is all used up. It does have the latest updates. Have you tried it on x64?

I installed ACT (latest version) on a new Server 2003 x64 server and am having all kinds of problems. Apparently it doesn't like the MSSQL backend. I've googled for stuff but no clear responses to the problem were evident. If anyone has an idea of where to start, I would appreciate it.

Same here. Even a 2br/1.5ba is in the $1M range where I want to be.:crap:
