A google for that gigabyte model gives nothing, did you type it right?

My week isn't going so great either. In addition to being sick as a dog (that is, if the dog was running a fever of 103) I was forced to dump someone only to be promptly dumped for a completely new reason. I was spending time with one girl, but it really wasn't working out, and I'd just met...

Considering the obvious indecision of someone you care about, and the no-doubt awkward situation between the two ends of this scenario, yet the desire to still be a part of it however you can...that's where I'd be anyway. "better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all"...if...

For a while I was running 4 monitors and had Hydravision, it did everything I wanted without issue. That was about a year ago.

I actually snapped on a guy yesterday. He was completely computer illiterate but wanted to get started. He had a decent budget and reasonable needs, so a Dell Inspiron 6000 was his. Per my instruction, he brings it to me the day it arrives still in it's sealed box. I spend about 3 hours removing...

The mobility chips work pretty well with the screw/spring based heatsinks. I used the Thermalright SLK-900 when I had one, but I think the Scythe Ninja would be a great match if it fit in the chassis.

I need 2 toys for my new workstation: 1. Matrox PCI-E G550 2. Gigabyte I-Ram Anyone seen them for sale?

Still loving the BenQ burners. After a firmare update, they rip DVD and Audio faster than anything else I have.

YES! It's about time they address this one...I've been telling them for weeks.

It's not that I am using frontpage, but that my client is using frontpage. I tried creating a nice page for him using clean code, but he makes so many requests and changes that there is no way I could keep up. He's also not the most computer savvy: FTP would be a bit of a reach. So Frontpage it...

Yeah, I just ended up doing the same. Very frustrating. The entire page was created and uploaded using frontpage, so I think I'll delete the entire site and have the author re-upload it...I'll keep you posted.

I followed the directions of the QB article to add the MIME type, and it said it already existed. I then scrolled down the list and sure enough there it was listed as "octet sctream". Neither the EXE nor the HTML are modified in any way, they are both static files. I will be able to check the...

Good thoughts Will, but the MIME for EXE is already there by default. I've also gone in and enabled all the default extensions. Though the content isn't dynamic, it's an html file with a direct link to the file in question, and I've verified that the file is there. Any more ideas?

My biggest concern would be the power consumption of a wireless version. We'd need to use rechargable batteries to keep it practical.

Hi, I just built a new webserver running server 2003 standard with IIS 6.0 and the Frontpage 2002 extensions. A user uploaded their website and everything seems to work, except for the link to the executable. I've verified that the file is there, but whenever you click on the link, you get a...

Now I'm definatly a pot calling a kettle black, but IIRC you are a fan of SCSI and Supermicro, correct?

Seconded. Not the absolute cheapest, but not far from, and really easy to implement, manage, and scale.

It will be cheaper to get a seperate computer with the drives attached, then shared over LAN. eSATA is pretty darn new and there aren't many products out, those that are out cost a pretty penny, and haven't been tested thoughly. When caluculating the cost of going for more smaller disks in a...

250 isn't big enough anymore...I need at least 300-400GB per drive.

I think they're advantage is density. Most 1U servers with this kind of capacity are full-depth (with connections in back and drives in front). Not only are all the connectors in the front, but you can put 2 ber U of rackspace (one front and one back) with a chimney in the middle to deal with...

No. I do it all the time. Just be sure that no logs/mailstores/web folders are on the system partition.

I sold my GTI for a 2003 VW Golf: better milage and I needed to be ticket-free for a while to get my licence back. I've done over 78,000 miles in the last 2 years, and I don't see gas prices coming down any time soon, and I have my licence back so I can afford some more performance...so I think...

Let's see if we can make those of you with lesser video cards have your system...well, you know... :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl: :hurl...

My thoughts exactly. An -ex loved vegamite, I tolerated it for over a year, then called off the engagement.

Only 34 minutes late? Wow, they are getting good at that... Congratulations Will, a beautiful baby. (PS: I was 13 hours of labor late, and been a PITA ever since)

LOL! My thoughts exactly!

A basic Wacom tablet would certainly fit the bill and then some, but it is certianly not cheap as far as mice go.

7:30am huh? Did you get that in writing? ;) Congratulations.

I think that can be blamed on the slightly concave shape of the heatspreader. Add some thermal compound and a mess of pressure, and make sure that the user can't slight the heatsink off the side, and it makes for a hell of a vacum.

I really don't think so. I tried really hard with no joy.

I'm really excited about the P-180. I can't buy one at the moment (I've already REALLY overspent on computer gear this month), but it is a no-brainer for my workstation.

Newegg is certainly spotty. I contacted them 2 days ago about a typo in the shipping address of an order and was handled within 10 minutes. I just tried calling today (I'm at a desk with a speakerphone handy) and got through in 45 minutes. Crazy.

I'd argue that firewire and digital audio are becoming less and less niche apps. (The eSATA certainly is). I have a pretty hard time finding workstation printers that even support parallel, and an even harder time finding one that doesn't support USB. Ditto mice and keyboards - they almost all...

The Ninja with a Nexus and a Zalman Fanmate is the most expensive cooler you can get short of water cooling, but it is absolutely silent inside a case. Hell, mine is OUTSIDE a case, inches from my ear, and completely inaudible. Keep in mind there's no point in going this nuts unless you put...

So you and the rep from your credit card company are both on hold for over 90 minutes? Ouch. Newegg is definatly the Fry's of the internet. Good selection, good prices, no service. Best of luck finding a company that offers all three for an extended period of time.

The fact that they are 4 different plugs, each with limited use and more complex that they need to be. That and they consume about 30% of the space on the backplane that could go to more usefull plugs such as Firewire, USB, Ethernet, Audio (1/8", SPDIF, TOSLink), external SATA, DVI, and maybe...

If this will do what I want it to, I can say goodbye to acronis trueimage.

I'm quite stoked about this, as it shows that we (mainstream early adopters) will have motherboard without PCI sooner rather than later. I'd imagine gimick-based manufacturers will be the first over, with creative and linksys offering their products in PCIe, before every else does. Then we can...

Quite so. I haven't been to that apartment in quite some time. Hings have been really busy for me for the last few weeks. Theoretically the card is waiting for me there on the counter, but there still hasn't been time to plug it in. Don't worry, I'll be sure to let you know when I do.

My favorite disk-based offsite storage I had installed last year. 2 miles of 0.5mm fiber running between 2 offices at gigabit speeds. Each office has a TB server (about $2500 at the time) that backs up the other one. Really awesome.

Coug, how did you end up with this cursed piece of equipment? Not just a P4, but a crummily socketed P4?

Considering the newer flash storage devices are able to distribute writes evenly accross the media, lifetimes are being lengthened substantially. On a storage device this large I can only imagine that distributing the writes would make it a non-issue for the average user.

earth.google.com is amazing. It's incredible not just from the information it provides, but in the tools it offers and how efficiently it presents it's data. The day it came out I spent hours just surfing around the earth checking things out. Apparently they also have the moon in there as well.

Those specs open up all kinds of applications. I wonder how that compares to the specs of the drives in IPods...

I'm certainly interested in what they have to offer. I've been doing disk-based backups for years at most of my companies (reinforced by DVD media taken off-site). I'm currently using MS Backup (nothing wrong with it) but am interested to see what they can do.

You wouldn't catch me deat in the local computer place, every time I go in there they insist that I do work; as if I owned the place or something! I always have my laptop to fall back on; an Averatec XP-M 1600+ with 1GB and a 12" LCD. I really like it, and since it was $500, I hardly worry...

I ended up getting a program called magicISO for $30 that has a great command-line interface for creating and modifying ISO files very quickly. I then use the dvdburn.exe tool from the rescource kit (thanks Merc) to burn said ISO to DVD. Though not free, it works for me. Thanks guys (or...

Now I remember. The rescource kit includes a tool that will burn ISOs from the command line, but I need a way to create ISOs from a directory structure automatically. Help?

YES! Server 2003 it is! I'll begin searching for info immediatly. Thanks Merc.

I could have sworn I'd asked this question before, but I can't find the thread, and I can't remember an answer. I need to burn a directory to DVD using the task scheduler. No compression or other options required. TIA David
