I hate iTunes, but I hate it when people try to use that as an argument against an iPod as well. Despite what apple says, iPod != iTunes. I have never, ever, installed iTunes on any computer. Further, the fact that iPods are the most popular portable music player in the world by a significant...

A very simple reason will drive most of my clients to upgrade; the stated "reccomended configuration" on some piece of software. Most of the mainstream apps say they'll support older OSes, but the nitche products don't bother. For the most part, their "reccomended" system includes the latest OS...

To me, Vista looks like tons of money. Just converting one of my medium sized clients would be thousands in hardware (with margin) and 100+ hours of labor (upgrades, data migration, training). My biggest client will probably take a month or more of full-time effort to get moved over. Sure...

I used my iPod nano for the purpose once with a 3rd party firmware, just to try it out. Seemed to work well, though there's no practical experience and clearly no support.

eight?

It seems this system does have a hard limit on the number of messages, not the size of them. Handruin, don't let all the pressure from us here get to you; you have a lot going on and (as you can see) we are all cabable of using the forum in it's current state until you get settled.

Why? To double the number deployed on the continent?

I've never had good luck with cable select. Give master/slave a shot and wee what happens.

My mouse requires all of 40sq.in. of desk space. More is consumed by my arm resting on the desk, or by my headphones, or by the plate of food. Much more was freed up by wallmounting the LCD or the speakers. Not to mention the fact that my keyboard and mouse are wireless, thus not needing to...

For me the icons don't matter at all. I pay no attention to them. If a thread has the little blue down arrow next to it, it has new posts.

Alright, the current experiment is over. Time to migrate my mail back from Thunderbird in Kubunto into Outlook in a PST in WinXP. I think I need help on this one. Apparently there's a hidden directory that contains my mail?

Wow. My favorite Tango partner, Olga, convinced me that the only way to drink vodka is by the shot; no ice, no mixers, no wimps - chased with fresh strawberries. Holy shit. I've never seen an entire bottle dissapear that fast, and I've never had to make so many corrections in a post before. Now...

Good job, the essentials checklist is useful: 1. Computer 2. Internet Access 3. Place to Pee 4. Place to Sleep 5. Something to Eat

Congrats to the following people for their recent proof of having nothing better to do: LunarMist - 1k i - 1k LiamC - 1k Clocker - 2k Santilli - 2k Buck - 4k ...and of course, Mercutio, for averaging over 5 posts per day since Jan, 2002!

If you can't jerk off and have your hand on the mouse at the same time, you aren't a real geek.

I only listen to South American Scientists from Canada...

Nevermind, google is your friend.

I would, but:

That's what I'm most looking forward to. I have several clients who are AMD-fanboys like no other. They insist on getting Intel chips beacuse they are "proven technology". I haven't had the heart to tell them that all their servers have been AMD for years.

Ugh...where do I edit my posts?

I've looked at and considered several packages like this. My reasoning is as follows: 1. I'm not a linux guy, I might not be able to save my data if thhings go wrong. 2. I, and my clients, have all the MS licencing we need. This wouldn't save us any money. 3. I have not seen any evidence that...

Sucks about the house. Fortunatly, the house is my GF's, so I don't need to worr about that. Not sure where I'm going to move; I'd love to find ~600sq.ft. with a bathroom and a shower.

Well, I hope it was for good reasons, and that everything is cool. I think I'm about to do the same.

Here's my color scheme for Winamp, it makes me happy.

I've never seen you online. And I'm here quite a bit.

I use an application designed for the purpose called CyberCafe Pro. The user never sees the standard UI, Instead only seeing their screen with a menu of approved apps on it. Login is dependant upon authentication with a server that has a database of users. This is significant overkill for a...

There are quite a few things I like (this quickreply is great). I'm confident that some mods to the skin will resolve the other complaints, which seem to be: 1. I not used to feature x, remove it so no-one can use it ever. 2. Feature x used to be here, and now it's there...I'm confused.

I see the vBulletin logo, I see the minimise button on the quick reply, I see dead people. I see that Handruin has enabled the quick in the "quick reply" feature (thanks!)

They are there for me, and work quite well. I think mubs is going off the deep end... :council: :council:

I'm just confused why quick reply requires a button push at all. I should be able to read a thread, scroll to the bottom, then type in a response and hit "post". I don't understand the extra button.

For the record, I've been sinking amazing amounts of time into "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion". It is really, really fun. I haven't enjoyed a game this much since, hell it's been a long time. Easily 150+ hours of gameplay, beautiful graphics, very involved storyline, huge flexibility on your...

Blades are incredible in their power density. I'm using 1U Dual-Dual-Core Opterons these days, even half a rack full of these will need it's own AC unit.

Interesting. I rip in IFO mode and grab just the movie, would this still be a problem? What does it look like in DVDDecrypter when you find one of these disks?

This is a good idea. Seconded.

It's a PITA. At this point I have a way around it that involves rebooting in safe mode, changing the permissions of it's DLL, then rebooting again. It's not that big a deal, I'm just bummed that the VLKs a friend hooked me up with have now been reported. :(

I rip in DVD Decrytper and then compress in XviD, so no need for DVD Shrink. I'm sad to see that development in AutoGK has stopped though.

Quite a while ago I saw a key-switch that would switch between two IDE drives, I can't find it now, but it sounds like the perfect ticket (doing it in hardware is more reliable than in software)

Half an hour for the install, half an hour for the updates, half an hour for to add/remove apps, half an hour to update the UI and config apps, then trying to move my thunderbird config over. Not fun.

I'd like to keep my linux build and move it to my new computer. I got tired of messing with the little toaster that wished it could and build myself a better machine. Old Spec: Shuttle SK21-G1-SV-V1 (VIA K8M800) AMD Sempron 3100+ Palermo 1600MHz HT Socket 754 Kingston ValueRAM 512MB 184-Pin DDR...

I like the "revisited" skin except you got rid of the quickreply button! I know this is in direct dissagreement with other forum members, but I like the quickreply. 90% of all posts on this forum I'm sure would fit in the space provided in the quickreply window, and most of the posts I've made...

These tools simply make identifying and correcting tags easier. For me, it's mostly about ripping CDs I have that aren't in the CDDB (tango imported from Buenos Aires, etc) and these tools make naming them after a bulk rip much easier. But I can also see their use if you have aquired significant...

If it were more useful, perhaos it could stay. But I've been looking at the results it provides and am not impressed.

I'm surfing at 1920x1280 at the moment and it looks great :P The user bar on the right could be a bit smaller; I've already shrunk my avatar, removed the IM links, and removed the "age" line from the display in an attemp to shrink it. It is a dificult balance, though. I like the information it...

There's a drop-down at the bottom called "Foum Jump" that does all the navigation. I've already begun using some of the features (including the quick reply that I'm typing now), and the forum software manages to not log me out all the time, which is nice. New skin? Yes please, but I do like the...

Nevermind. I'll get one of these instead and swap with the 1600XT at the game center.

I'm having a hard time finding reviews of this video card. From what I can tell, GeCube came up with the tech, but I can't find anything else. Thoughts?

Well, the sun is quickly setting on my current attempts at Linux. It's really almost there! The only probems I'm having now are: Network compatability issues Incomplete UI (things still need to be done at the command line) General system speed (bootup, app launch, everything really) Quality of...

Take your pick: or Either way, fine with me.

Congratulations, I have no idea if you spelled that work correctly or not.

Unfortunatly, with AT&T's recent merger with PacBell*, it really cuts down on the options available. Really, PacBell bought AT&T, then assumed the name.
