Glad to hear it wasn't a complete financial disaster Merc, that's just one more reason I'll hapilly move into my new apartment next week.

Well my 14-hour day turned into a 20-hour workday out of 24-consecutive waking hours. I now have 2 hours to sleep before Monday starts...this is going to hurt. Moving for any reason in particular Merc? New city or just new digs?

I've had 2 consecutive shifts call in sick at the game center...I know what I'll be doing for the next 14 hours :roll:

I just installed one yesterday that spec'd a specific intel motherboard (chipset with onboard video). What a POS. If they're doing on-the-fly video compression, they might want lots of CPU power. And if they're doing that, large throughput isn't that important. But if they are compressing, I...

I've got it running now, looks really sweet. Only trick is not it specifically states IE only. Before you could get it to run on Firefox with a bit of tweaking.

That's as relevant as the processor in my 4-function calculator being 128-bit. It doesn't matter a bit as it doesn't do anything I'm interested in.

At least they don't tax you on all those extra u's you throw around... PUI :wink:

I'm currently using Gigabyte's fanless 6800. It works quite well, but I did have to install an additional Nexus 120mm fan @ 5V to keep it under control in my extremely quiet/low airflow case during heavy gaming.

That's the problem in living ina country as large as the US; millions can feel a certain way about an issue, and still represent a small minority. In a system such as this, if you are in the majority, great. If you aren't in the majority, trying to stop the flood/freight train/other unstoppable...

As of today, there's no place I'd rather live than central California. However, I wouldn't be suprised if the situation changes within the next decade. Based primarily on the infringement of personal rights, excessive taxation, and subsequent misallocation of same; I'm thinking the values of...

Slipping indeed. I'm also at about 25% of my past income. Fortunatly, those dependant on me left shortly after the money. A funny statistic; the last doctor I have on record has been dead 7 years now...

Eh, once Northern California separates from the rest it'll be a worthy place to live.

So removing her feeding tube is taking something else? I may not be a sponge, but posts with Would have a better chance of informing me.

If I were to go to Canada, it would definatly be Vancouver. Last time I was there I had a great time, but anyone who doesn't call it cold is crazy. I recently got an offer in Cape Town, that's tempting.

Why Canada? I don't disagree in the least that the US is going to be a place I don't want to live within the decade, but Canada? I'm thinking Australia, New Zeland, Spain, even England, but Canada is far too cold for my liking.

From the analysis I've read, most of her brain has attrophied years ago due to lack of activity, so anything approaching normal is completely out of the picture. As one of the PhDs on NPR said "Wouldn't it be worse if she was partially conscious?" I'd go after the parents for neglect.

I have 3 Samsung 191Ts that don't experience this problem. Because I have 3 screens, the same applications stay up in he same positions for a long time; and none of the screens go to sleep if I'm working on one of them. A quick check of autohiding the start bar and minimizing outlook, winamp and...

Now that was back up to snuff. An excellent read straight through.

Yay! Or not... Not entirely the connector's fault though, I partially blame nVidia for putting the SATA connectors right in the middle of the board between the CPU, AGP and DIMM slots. I'm having a hard time thinking of a worse location. I could blame that design problem on ASUS, but it seems...

I've had the player for over 6 months, prices on the media still haven't gotten down to sane levels. I doubt I'll burn a dual-layer disc before I burn a HD-DVD or Blueray (read: never). I waste of (thankfully not very much) money, IMO.

I've got my GMail account working, but I'd like to be able to send from my other accounts (the ones I own and do business under). I will likely be living here for at least a few months and would like to be able to do business as usual. It's looking more and more like I'll just need to set up a...

Really don't like it, but would use it if my partner hadn't broken it on our Exchange server...stupid DotNetNuke....

I tried telling my SMTP server to listen on non-standard ports, and for outlook to send via these non-standard ports, and I'm getting the same errors... "SMTP server not responding" Thoughts?

Err...I don't know how to do this. Since I am in control of the Exchange server on the other end of the connection, I'm trying to set up other ports. We'll see how it goes.

So it appears that the network I'm now on (college campus cable-modem) won't allow traffic through to external SMTP servers. I can't call them to complain as I'm not supposed to be here in the first place, and I don't have a user name for theirs for the same reason. If anyone has any suggestions...

Good find. Very nice

I know that Seagate, Samsung and Hitachi get good marks, but I didn't realise that any brand other than WD was worth ignoring altogether.

As part of a large project I'm working on, I ran some quick numbers on OEM SATA 8MB hard drives of various capacities and their current price on Newegg. If anyone can give me some space to host the images I can post the graphs, but here's the key points: Lowest $/GB: 0.544 - Maxtor 250GB...

Yep. THis server is thin enough that you can put 2 of them back-to-back in the same 1U of the rack, doubling density.

Thanks guys. I'm looking at an apartment in Monterey next week with a view of the bay 2 blocks from the ocean, and I've secured some investors for more game centers. If I can't sink my time into something I want, I may as well try to live well by other's standards.

I figure it's a fitting time to revive this thread: Moving from Eugene, OR Yep, the woman of my dreams whom I followed up here has decided that she doesn't love me after all. I'll take the 12 boxes that are all I now possess and head back to Monterey. Losing the girl is almost secondary, as I...

Any estimate on pricing?

Yep, the 24-port version would let me use 300GB drives to get a 6.7TB array in RAID-6.

I'm liking the fanless implementation...

Congratulations guys!

After reading that entire artile yesterday, I came to the conclusion that I really need Areca's 20-port PCI-E RAID adapter for a 6TB+ iSCSI NAS I'm quoting :D But availability is quite scarce, even a price is hard to find...

pretty sweet. For an extry $10 you can get non-RAID

I created a RAID-1 on my ASUS K8N-E Deluxe without issue. "Detecting array" took about 5 seconds. Perhaps it took longer the first time to create the array? I don't remember.

Man, that's what my 191Ts cost when I bought them (3). Time for an upgrade? But 3 20"-wide monitors wouldn't fit on my desk...

looks good. If you use a USB k/b, mouse, and soundcard then you can just use the buttons on your screen for the video. This way you have less distortion of your analoge video and audio, as neither passes through a switch.

I have quite a few, but I shudder to think of the shipping...

Yup, actually it was installing installer builds over ZIP builds...here's the e-mail response I got from "Mozilla Quality Feedback Agent [qfa@mozilla.org]"

Not experiencing any issues with the 1.0.1 MOOX M3 Build. Noticeably faster too, worth a look for those who surf a lot.

I have the exact same drive and it appears as 149GB, so you aren't crazy. No advice for you though, sorry.

Thanks for that, I was able to find the "british english" version of straight 1.0 and it's working fine. Strange.

It crashes every 30 seconds, every third page I try to reach. I've tried re-downloading, uninstalling, re-installing, clearing the preferences, the registry, rebooting....nothing. Does anyone still have a copy of v1.0? I can't find it on their web page.

I must admit that since starting this thread I've wasted at least 25 hours on Sim City 4 Deluxe. I need to get back to the driving sims...less chance of losing a whole morning.

That's the cool thing about batteries, energy can be transferred from one to another with minimal loss, and they are portable. Your above argument implys that you're unaware of such capabilities, just letting you know ;) Because nature has organic processes that are able to process hydrogen...

I heard she's a bit naughty... :o

http://www.myersmotors.com/ I Drove one of these things years ago...why don't you own one yet? :P
