Only if he lives.

OK, so everyone I've talked to says that this car will be great for towing, just get a trans cooler. Well, Subaru doesn't offer one. Does anyone have a suggestion? Any idea what an aftermarket one will do to the warranty?

Here's something I don't know much about. (again) My GF recently totalled her work vehicle (a 1994 Ford Windstar). It was modified to hold all her work gear and had uprated suspension and transmission to handle the additional weight. Unfortunatly, she'd never had the brakes uprated, so now it's...

This has been true for me in the new LOTR: BFME II. You can now create your own Hero unit and use it in the RTS game. It really is a lot of fun. I remember spending hours developing characters in Neverwinter Nights, and still create characters for friends in DDO.

I doubt it. I'm still; using 3.47 with this mod. Works for everything.

There is a nifty trick to make SecuROM not detect Daemon Tools. Do a search of their forums, it involves changing the permissions on some files and registry keys. It does work.

That's quite an exciting drive as well. Not as fast, but just as quiet, and with low power consumption as well.

Yep. I think I NEED one. Or two...I might want to install something ;)

Heat and space are big issues for this type of thing. It will be replacing a Linksys (or similar) router and I've told them it is "better" and it 14x the cost. So it needs to look really shiny. OK, OK, I give up! I just looked at my most complex smoothie build (T-1, 200+ local users, 5 VPN...

For the first client it will be just a simple point to point VPN. I know if I'm goinng to be using proxy or caching services I'll need to use an actual HDD, but a 40GB 2.5" HDD would only be a few dollars more. I'd just rather avoid any moving parts and keep heat/power to a minimum.

Guys? Did you notice that 512MB of RAM is $35? 256MB is about $25. What is the point of saving $10 and getting half the RAM? I am going to be building quite a few of these. I like smoothwall and have been deplying it at a number of my locations. I imagine I'll have an initial order of 10...

I'm building a bunch of machiens to be used as smoothwall routers. Here is what I've come up with so far: VIA EPIA PD 6000 - Fanless 600Mhz, Dual Ethernet - $170.00 pico PSU-80 - 80 Watt tiny PS - $45.00 VoomPC Enclosure - Aluminium Chassis - $80.00 CF-IDE adapter - Allows CF to connect to...

John O'Reilly hoisted his beer and said, "Here's to spending the rest of me life, between the legs of me wife!" That won him the top prize at the pub for the best toast of the night! He went home and told his wife, Mary, "I won the prize for the Best toast of the night" She said, "Aye, did...

I'm interested, some of my friends at the game center are already working on their second level-10. On another note, I spent an entire night the other day playing the new Lord of The Rings: Battle For Middle Earth II. It's very fun, much better than the first, and quite beautiful.

Yup, this is worth dropping a client over. In a letter to the owner, I would point out that you would require that business communications be made using a technology that provides a record of those communications. Trying to track a paper trail through saved IMs sounds like absolute hell.

Paragraphs isn't really the way IM communications go. Perhaps you would be more comfortable using a MySpace account? Would she go for it?

not

Going to the Flickr pages and skipping directly to page 4 shows a P180 in all it's thermal goodness. It also shows what having too much TIM can do and why putting 2 high end graphics cards on top of one another is a bad idea. :roll:

When sensative people ask me questions about color I begin with my Crayola disclaimer. It all depends on how many colors you're working with. In the 8-color box, it is certainly purple. In the 48-64-color box, it is likely indgo. But I bet the 96-color box uses a more elegant description...

Afraid not. I swore to never again use a fan smaller than 80mm in a computer. They are, by definition, loud, unreliable, and ineffective.

Sorry, thermal epoxy, the two-part stuff.

Found This one by the nifty guys at nCubed Looks useful. I've been wanting their fan controlers for quite a while now.

I'm tempted to see if I can get another Scythe SCNJ-1000 to fit in there. Does anyone think thermal paste would be enough to hold it in place? :eekers: Disable the onboard ethernet? There is an interesting idea. There is a second GbE on the motherboard, I might try disabling the NB-based one...

Gigabyte nForce 4 motherboard, passively cooled with one of these: But it's still running quite hot @ 260Mhz and +0.2v :o It isn't unstable in any way, but it's way too hot to touch, and that makes me nervous. I'm looking for a more effective passive cooling solution; there isn't that much...

I was really excited about this until I installed Vista for the first time...9.5GB! Even the I-Ram 2 @ 16GB means we're cutting it a bit close for a single-drive workstation.

yay!

...with 8001 posts! Holy cow! Congratulations, all worthy reads. Looking forward to the next few thousand...

Yep. It includes all the union-related wage contributions for every employee of a large construction company. Each employee has their own sheet, then the first sheet includes a series of summaries about them. An absolute mess.

This is a nifty idea, though I can't think of a way to make it work without doing the thing I hate most: Support laziness and sloth. And eventually, reverse evolution? Just thinking of the stereotypical fat woman living in the south having kid after kid while on unemployment/social...

I just put together an Excel pivot table that made my computer spit up all over itself. It's only 6.6MB with 14 columns and 1300 rows, on the first sheet...then it has a sheet for every row on the first. That entire first sheet is one giant pivot table collating all the following sheets. A 3800+...

I agree with Sol on this one. Fans small enough to fit in a single-drive enclosure will not work well, will be noisy and will fail quickly. One option is to get a multi-drive enclosure that is larger (and consequently has a larger fan). The other option is more of a home-brew; Use a Zalman...

Tannin, I appreciate your latest post. The second paragraph of which has me most interested. "Productive effort" determined how? Pure hours of labor? Hours of education required to perform the task? Shortage of workers available to perform the task? 'Cause, that sounds a whole lot like...

My parents lived in Eugene, OR when I was born. Earlier that year Mt. St. Helens had exploded, the car, the house, everything was covered in several feet of ash.

That would mean you know of another with similar specs for cheaper? Care to share?

I'll second mubs and howell here. I support the tax-deductible nature of charities, but not the tax-based mandatory spending imposed by welfare.

Same here, too bad it's in the low-50s (F). Mid-60s would be much better. Snowed on Saturday night in the hills and in Santa Cruz (!).

Not an anarchist, but certainly a financial conservative bordering on libertarian. Sure, I'll pay taxes to cover the fire/police/roads/schools, but what are they going to do with the rest of the money they take? (I could rant right here about the inefficacy/inefficiency of leaving the latter two...

That didn't take long at all, did it. :roll: Debates that I've taken part in can be quite informative. If you go into a debate believing that you and everyone else involved already know all there is to know about an issue, and that you still maintain your current stance, what's the friggin'...

I'm looking at this one. Maximum horizontal measurement is 29". Any comments?

I guess flame was the wrong word. I certainly didn't intend to flame anyone, but I certainly provided some unlit fuel ;) That's something I try to avoid most of the time.

And this is what I get for OC'ing beyond reason. I start a flame and than aren't here to watch it! Yes. Socialism, communism, welfare, and most charities are all things I dissaprove of. Charities, of course, I don't mind at all because they are optional. Taking my money from me and using it not...

What does any of that have to do with communism? Totalitarian big-brotherism perhaps, certainly police-state material, but nothing to do with the commies. I hate communism/socialism because it's stupid. I hate this crap because it's evil. That's a whole nother level of bad ;)

Congrats Coug, it's always nice to have a sweet job ;)

I'm currently playing BF2 on a 3700+ with an AGP X850XT and a Gig of RAM. Really, really beautiful running 1280x1024 maxed. Looks like I don't have to spend that much money after all....

Sorry, DVD Decrypter combined with AutoGK to make Xvid-encoded .avi files. They are ~2GB a piece, I have ~2TB, it really isn't a problem. HD content might make them ~6GB a piece, I'm still not worried.

HDCP is not something that interests me, but thanks for putting a reminder into the conversation. I currently use DVD-Decrypter to convert all my movies into .avi format for storage. I figure I'll use some similar software to do a similar thing to HD-DVDs. Greg, What I'm looking for is the...

I'm currently running a 2.8Ghz single-core A64 with 1GB of RAM @ 511Mhz. Really my X1600Pro is the limiting factor in a big way. If I can get an X1900XT-class card (what is nVidia's equivalent?) for about $500, I figure that's what I'll do.

This seems to be a great deal

CougTek always impresses with his ridiculous degree of knowledge on gaming video cards, so here's another question. My experience with the X1900XTXs the other day was really phenominal. Never before had I seen BF2 played at 1600x1200 with EVERYTHING turned way up, and it was amazing...

I have had good luck with the MSI 6200TC 128MB card It actually does amazingly well in BF2, in addition to having good 2D performance.
