Damn...I still need 4 :(

Here we have solid clay from about 8" on down. I have driven a 6' grounding rod all the way in, and did considerable damage to the wall in the process. Fortunatly I missed the water main and gass main which were about 8" away.

The one I am always guilty of, posting under the influence ;) I have some real winners in the "Something Random" thread.

Laptop keyboard plus PUI I suspect.

Oh yes, that's much faster :crap:

Oh, and no-one is beter off with ISDN. Better to have a major brain injury and not be aware of the internets existence.

I agree with Merc on all but #2, #6, and #8. They are in reverse order.

The only ones I've messed with lately (like, in the last 2 years or so) have been USB.

Thanks for the pics Merc, they were perfectly timed for an "it could be worse" speach with the GF...

Looks good. I'm afraid the feature set I want on a motherboard is still only available on an ASUS board for AM2. Still waiting.

Ugh, sorry for the typos...it's to early (8:45AM)

I actually have a 19" with scratches a bit worse than that. I use it on my bench. I actually ended up using a rezor blade to remove the materiel that was hanging off the display, but the display under the scratch still looks like @ss. I wouldn't use it for anything but checking progress of...

If you buy a car new for under $10k, you know it's a POS. You know it's a POS and you buy it anyway. I was poor and needed a car; I regret the decision.

All the boards I use have it at the bottom of the front screen.

Not a bad thing, IMHO. IIRC, they were never the performance leader, but set reliability standards that others strived for.

I actually have good things to say about most of the cars I've bought in the past. My current VW has 105k miles in 3 years, without anything more than Oil and Tire changes in the last 85,000 miles! Other cars I've had for significant amounts of time/distance were an Audi S4, Porsche 911, Porsche...

For my clients I use NOD32. For me? Nothing at all.

Happy Happy Happy

I'm proud to say I have never typed that address...ever. I've never gone to the site, and only glanced at other people who were.

Pacifica looks nice, except for the fact that it's so far from my work. I still have a number of clients in the Salinas area, and I still sail my boat out of Monterey. Those would need to be a bit closer. What would make a lot of sense would be to live just south of San Jose on the 101 corridor...

Greg, the person you met was Birgit. She's german, I'm still living with her, but I'm looking for an apartment in Monterey or Palo Alto. It's been in the 80-90s here, but last night I was taking a Salsa class in Palo Alto and it was 90 with 70% humidity at 10PM (while dancing without AC). I...

ASRock (cringe)

I'm running a K8N Pro-SLI right now, and have used about 40 of them (or the non-Pro variant) in the last year or so. Fortunatly, I've never had to deal with an RMA.

I couldn't agree more. I was helping a friend drop the motor on his 1997 Cavalier Z and it was an absolute nightmare. He's an ex-airforce crew chief (F-117s) and said the biggest PITA was his car.

It's not Point of Sale software ;)

SCSI is easier than brain sugery, but not much else. You want easy? Get SATA.

Das elefant ist blau.

I've pointed david.tweakt.com (Name/DNS hosted at downdoggy.com, site hosted by me) to ddrueding.dyndns.org and it works quite well with the DynDNS client in my DSL modem.

I hope not. Considering how "UI" I was, the fact that I recognized the error and asked for clarification should earn me bonus points.

Anyone have experience building these things? Anyone have a vendor they like? This ought to be an interesting project, considering all the different elements (including credit card processing) that are involved.

In that order because I've found the ones at the top to be more difficult than the ones at the bottom. Around here, just looking hungry will get you a few bucks out of a passing car, but it won't get you broadband ;)

Yes.

I appreciate the offer, we'll see how the Russian pans out first ;)

Great idea, mind if I steal it? (too late)

Pearl Jam has already ruined their sound. They used to be good, then they got therapy, now they suck. Same with Guns'n'Roses, Metallica, and countless other bands. Nirvana was awesome until the depression killed Kurt Cobain, that meant they had no time to "get better" and suck.

They are already a "Top 100" at TPB

For the last 8 months or so I've been practicing my german. Now it seems that there's an 80% chance that Russian will be next, with the other 20% being Swedish. Anyone here care to help me with my Russian?

But that would be buying a device that is designed to perform the task required, instead of modifying a more advanced and expensive toy to perform the same task! That's almost more unthinkable than Merc buying Sony. I think we can solve the unmoveable object/irresistable force question as soon...

This is the way I've been doing it. It's just a lot cleaner all-'round.

There is a setting on many WAPs that asks what country you are in. I was under the impression that this was to make sure you didn't exceed the power limit in your country. Anyone know what would be the most powerfull choice?

I actually just looked on Newegg, and $500 will now get you: 3500+ 2GB RAM 160GB HDD DVD-Burner After the price drops, you'll be able to go dual-core for that price :o

Great. Replace it with one of these and you're finished!

That all depends on how good a friend it is. If this is someone who is interested in learning about computers and who you were planning on spending time with anyway, building a machine and doing the Linux thing sounds just fine. If, on the other hand, this is a "friend" (i.e. - someone you know...

I wouldn't buy a computer on e-bay. To be clear I wouldn't really buy anything that could have complex issues, or difficult to identify flaws on ebay. Go to Costco, or Walmart, or wait for a sweet deal at Dell, and get them a new one. They do exist at that price range and your friend will thank...

;)

NO! Don't use iTunes in any form of generic reference! It is not a standard! Don't give into the hype!

Yep. Yep.

37 I get. Eight....er, no. :crap: Try not to suck any dick in the parking lot.

One example I have is Harddollar. They are always using the latest version of .NET and SQL/MSDE with every release. Their docs may say otherwise, but when you talk to their support guys, the first thing they'll do is have you upgrade everything. I've had to upgrade the server for this product 3...

I wore through the spacebar on my old set, so I decided to get a new one: Logitech Cordless Desktop MX5000 Laser Bluetooth I decided to go with this one based on some past experiences with logitech's gear. They used to have serious issues with their bluetooth drivers, but I have confirmed that...
