grr, sorry for the double...too-late typo correction :(

The balance of supply and demand is self sustaining. Using unions to create artificially high manufacturing costs will only hurt our economy. I must be missing something. I (like most others here) work in an industry without unions, and mostly without standardised certification (it exists, but...

My mom's a public school teacher, so I agree. But an artificial support in a capitalist society is wrong. When workers get shit on, they have the right to leave. When lower quality labor comes in and does a bad job, the consumer has a right to buy from a different manufacturer. It's the...

by importing the foreign disk....RAID or not

Funny, still no links or stats or anything....my vaporware/BS meter is starting to go crazy.

I also think your journey worthy of a published work. If you're going to crank out a simple version just for us anyway, might as well do it right and make the journey tax-deductable.

Yes, in anticipation of the upcoming 12.4 standard, I'm just lining the walls with speakers and creating an array of subs bolted under the floor.

Hardly. I am not trained on AS/400s, and have no desire to be. From the basic functions I have performed, I am glad to be rid of it. Besides the fact that using emulator cards and an entirely seperate network topology is completely nuts.

We are ditching the AS/400 for a windows-based product. It is set for 'NT Password Authentication' Phisycal security is good, and the systems auto log off (at least his does), so I think passwords during launch would only piss him off.

How on earth did I miss Tony's return? I've been egerly folowing this tread for some time now! Welcome back! I look forward to seeing your "voice of reason" in all the apropriate places.... :mrgrn:

Well, you and your squirrels can have the US. I'm so dissapointed and disillusioned...I'm going to leave for....wait...it's still the best place? Damn....nevermind.

Thanks for the tips. My next move is to join his computer to the .local domain and see what happens. I am pretty familar with building an AD, and am in the process of fixing things. This was a company that grew to 50 people before deciding to hire a local (crappy) company to set them up. The odd...

Ok, here's where the description gets messy... The computer is running XP Pro and is not part of any domain. I am in the process of repairing the situation described below, I did NOT create this mess There are currently 2 domains (each with their own DC and DNS servers) company.com and...

bon = server no idea how that happened.... :eekers:

This is not storage related in the least, if it belongs in the P&B, please move it Just went live opn the first exchange bon in a domain (both 2003). Every machine went perfectly except the CEOs (figures). His machine insists on asking for the username/domain/password before loading every time...

When I was hiking in the Himalayas they had a system rigged to the sat-phone uplink. IIRC it was at about 15000ft (Anapurna range), it was for requesting medivac from altitude sickness ;) It looked like a stock white box.

Here the temp never goes below 65F if the systems are running, but it will go above 100F if I leave the blinds open, the door closed, and the systems running (the window is about 5'x5' and double-paned, greenhouse affect is amazing). No problems. I do have systems running in non-enviro...

Well, good to know I'm not alone ;) If you guys ever make it out to cali, let me know...we'll go out for drinks.

Well, it's working great so far. I've managed to cap using MMC and filtered using VDub (FlaXen filter). The DVD authoring I will do on another PC, this box doesn't have a burner capable of DVD+R (older set-top compatible). Thanks for all the help!

I'm having a hard time finding the right drivers for my AIW VE PCI 64M on the site, which AIW family is it a member of? I don't think the driver disk that came with it supports XP....

Well, I wouldn't feel too bad about two arrays of two in RAID0. At least you're only doubling your chance of failure.

That's what I've heard as well. A RAID0 for working and a RAID1 for storage would probably be the best way. Depends if that controller supports the "striped read" of RAID1 arrays.

I like the intro as well, what capacity are you planning on hitting?

I just got back from my soon-to-be brother-in-law's house. He has Nintendo, SNES, N64, and Gamecube (with GB/GBA emulator) all wired in his living room right now. Listening to GB games on surround sound is...intersting. He's especially proud of his comprehensive collection of Zelda games. :)

Thanks guys, I already committed to dsoing the conversionds for a friend then realised I had no knowledge of how to go about it. :eekers: It seems I get myself in these holes quite often...it's the best way to learn. I really appreciate all the help.

Is MMC the app that comes with the AIW cards? Is vDub and VirtualDub the same thing? I'll be checking out those apps and I'll get back to you. I have Ulead MovieFactory, it came with something I've bought.... CityK, are the apps you referenced freely available?

Oh, well...here it is: ASUS A7N8X Dlx. / Barton @ 2.5Ghz / 1GB PC2700 / 2x Raptors (RAID0) / Sony DVR-510

no sig? hmm....

I have a similar question. I already have an ATI AIW VE (PCI) that I want to throw in it's own machine and to VHS capture via S-Video/Stereo and convert to DVD. What software should I be using to do: Capture? Encoding (MPEG-2)? Authoring? Burning? Is there one app that will do all of this...

136 - Precision Processor ....also a lower score than mensa..... :cry:

I have found the fountain of youth! :mrgrn:

Definatly congratulations are in order...I haven't been married in Thailand, but I did propose there ;) And spanish is the second language (some might argue the first) around here....

Where in Thailand?

Yes, they are currently wondering what to do about their floppys....

well, let's do it elsewhere! Your config has me intrigued, Merc.....

Very true. I worked @ CompUSA for a while. I was hired for my technical knowlede (the only one in the store) and promoted quickly 'cause of my "people skills" (read: manipulation skills).

Back on subject......and to make this a long one.... From when I was born until I was 16 I had one friend. Just one, so did he. We were lucky that we met each other, because no one else was like us (or liked us for that matter). When I was 16 got asked out to a dance by a girl whose name I'd...

Curious, did this work? Will it work with older DVD players?

Sorry, I know this thread is old.....but the phrase: Talk like a pirate ass day just came to mind....esp. when talking about Bush :)

Well, in an attempt to find what store is his, I did the usual google thing. And came up with this Kinda interesting, but not what I'm after.

Modding one to run x86 would make a very cool HTPC for college students ;)

Assuming same bus speed, of course.....

I got mine down to 1 minute 5 sec by turning my laptop off (didn't unpluc it, tho....:) Can different motherboards support a differnt number of interupts on their PCI bus?

Screw it. Get the deer out of there and get some live Counterstrike going :D

Just curious, which P3 bard are you talking about? And where is it available?

Just about anything would be faster, but cheaper? This thing has everything integrated for $123. Tack on the added reliability bonus of not requireing a CPU fan; this means any fan failures would not instantly kill the system.
