McDonald's, over and over again, would serve coffee so hot, that you couldn't see the steam. this issue was brought up, in prior lawsuits, many times. McDonalds ignored the law, the safety of their customers, and continued to serve coffee so hot, it would scald. Ford had bean counters that...

I hope they have SLAP suit law over there. In Kalifornia, if you bring a frivilous lawsuit, you not only get it thrown out of court, but you have to pay the othersides expenses, and you are barred from bringing the case in the state again... Law was made to deal with a religous group that used...

The ideal gamer boot drive :mrgrn: :wink:

Tannin: What do you use to print color photos??? Thanks Greg

Mercutio: I understand your situation. I was just venting a little frustration, after doing tons of research, and trying to find a solution, and finding there really isn't one, without spending 2000 dollars on a printer. It looks like the best photo printers are inkjets, and, I guess for your...

M: I know, but with these color Lasers, it's a WAY different prospect then just replacing a black and white toner cartridge. I've been seriously looking at one, and decided a photo quality Epson, or Canon would be better, in conjunction with a decent Laser B&W. What do you think? All the...

Yes. OK. I've even gone to the red cables, since GD cables are 4 times as expensive. Likewise, cheaper terminators. I followed Supermicro's recommendations, and since they ship SCA boxes with the "red" cables, I figure they must be decent. Yes, I also use monster cables, overpriced, also...

You do know this about the 550N: Does this printer come with a full set of cartridges, or just starter cartridges? s

Time: The problem with cards are the input. My ATI TV Wonder wouldn't work, regardless of what I did, to take input from my VCR. It's probably fine for other stuff, like tv input. Or, you can get in a situation where the cables cost way too much to attach the VCR, I.E. having to buy an...

Hi I haven't had much luck with software firewalls, except, so far, XP. I was wondering how one would go about setting up a hardware firewall? My current setup is a fixed IEP ADSL, into an Alcatel modem, and then to a router. From the router, we go to a nice switch, and then to any number of...

Mercutio: Follow up? What model, etc.? s

Anybody tried this program? http://www.dscaler.org/about.htm s

Welcome to my world... :lol: It could be worse, MUCH worse. Try K-6 with a range of gifted, but violent, to 12-18 months, and non-verbal, in a 6th grade body... Then it's just me. If you aren't doing this sort of stuff all the time, it's difficult to remember the proper settings, and, the...

Just helped her with a moth. I knocked it off the ceiling, and like lightning, she bolted from the floor, onto the couch, jumped in the air, swatted the moth down, and pinned the moth under her paw, out of mid air. No wasted motion, and nearly faster then you could see. One second she's on...

Well, your post got me thinking about all the popups, thanks to AOL, and Weatherbug, on my SO's computer. So, wanting to protect her computer, I used her AOL account, downloaded MaAfee anti-virus, and ran it. No virus. However, MacAfee is as good as having one. Opening control panels, opening...

Well, my Plextor has installation particulars that are a bit weird. If not installed in the proper order, the software acts very strange, cuts off, works once in awhile, etc. I have a note from Plextor on it, and, the limitation is that it only runs with one kind of software. The software...

Do they work in 939 socket boards currently avaliable? Which chipsets? s

Anybody have a good review of the new chips? s

You are lucky. New biggest, fastest, for cheapest is always a scary equation, reliability wise. s

Think I should email this to Davin, or post it myself?? :evil: :shake2: s

Just playing DA. It would suck driving to San Diego in a rental, to pick up my surfboards??? Added expense, etc. s

I try and kill any spider I see first. She seems to be more cautious about spiders then moths, insects. s

Well, my little girl is 1/2 feral, and, she's NOT your normal cat. I have pics of her jumping straight up, oh about door handle height plus a foot, turning 180 in the air, using tail, and taking off chasing a fake mouse. She also does things like jump over 6' from the ground, to my shower top...

Which model? s

Tannin: For some reason I thought Margarat River was just up the road from you, near Adelaide(sp) or Bells Beach, not near Perth. Guess that would be a bit of a drive. Hope to stop by David's place this week, or next. That's a bit closer... s

I bought a Toyota Tercel, 1988 Ez, new, outright. Right off the bat, cheap insurance, since I didn't cover it for comprehensive. I'm a good driver, so low rates. No payments. With tax results, I make money when I drive. I still have the same car. 110 a year for state use fees, also known as...

That case is close. I wonder if they have anything with 5-6 drive bays? Or does that cost another 150 dollars??? s

Ditto. Likewise everyone here. Thanks again. s

Mine isn't quite THAT tough. Still, the quality Panasonic puts into their books, is well, up to their reputation as the best Japanese tech company. That's their rep in Japan, anyway. s

Which model, and what did it cost? Keep me posted. I'm looking for one down the road, and the HP's cost of ink cartridges scares the heck out of me... s

WOW!! You guys recorded the few times I logged in off my mac Lombard, running Jaguar. Cool Yes, though you never answered the real advantages of Firefox, over IE, you have convinced me to set Firefox as default browser, and even teach SO what button to hit to get internet access. s

Tannin: Between appl support, HP support, etc. one might think you are on an island, almost off the edge of the world, near antartica.... :mrgrn: s

From looking at reviews of HP's, it looks like you have to spend about 1600 bucks, or more, to get a decent printer. I paid 2 g's for the 4000N, with 72 mb of ram, and duplex unit. Is it worth it? Still going. If I bought another printer for school, it would likely be the 4000 series...

Just a little tongue and cheek, but, with drives with visible, and audible, though not right now over the darn 600 watt, noisy power supply, activity lights, you can tell when stuff is running that shouldn't be. In the prior config, with 68 pin drives, and 4 boot drives (Raid 0) I could hear...

Other costco was a VERY nice, huge screen, HP laptop for 1200 after rebates. Still, the panasonic I just bought is a toughbook, and that means a bit to me. Best laptops to drop are Panasonic, IBM second. :mrgrn: s

I think it was a 19" Princeton that caught my eye at costco for 349. However, next to it was a waterproof digital camera, Pentax???, can't remember, for about 300. One day... s

Mercutio: HP still has great support. I called em up, and spent about an hour trying to figure out my 4000N networking settings. Why not call up and ask them which of their color printers is quiet? The 2250 is too far down the food chain for me to really buy. HP's lower end stuff is...

David: couldn't find the case you linked to, and all I get is a picture using that link. I pulled my new box apart, and the Swifttech cooler is, at least with the current weather, a passive cooler. The fan is controlled by a sensor, and the temperature never gets over 85 degrees F on the...

I wonder if they changed fans? When I put mine in, I booted up, and listened to the fan. Not loud. Of course that's relative, and, at the time, I had the screaming meanies in residence, the stock Xeon cooling fans... See if we need to change that after the new power supply is installed. s

Mercutio: Costco had a decent Dell network color printer, for some decent price, and it got great reviews. Don't know if it's quiet. I thought Dell printers were HP's, underneath? s

I should have asked: Box, case? etc. :wink: :?:

OK: I would like to build a 939 socket machine, with an ATX Gigabyte motherboard, using AGP. I'd like it to be silent, so Seasonic PowerSupply, cheap, so 3000+ Athlon, 1 gig ram, but, I'd like it in a case that is designed for a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817121401...

Thanks CougTek. I did a bit of research, and considering the 5 scsi drives, and the SCA box, ATI 800XL, two NEC DVD writers, speakers, and anything else I might connect, and the dual xeons, I went with the SeaSonic 600w S12. Yes, it's very expensive, but, I did get the S12 400W in my other box...

Mercutio: ATI's software is pretty sucky. Not totally awful, but pretty bad, don't you think? Minimal install solves that, but I'm not sure customers would be jazzed. That said, the drivers can also suck. Guy telling me my 700XL didn't work, becuase it froze with the windows 64 bit drivers...

Well, the 700XL with 256 mb of vram is pretty impressive. Combined with the 3000+, it flys. Gives my dual Xeons and the 800XL a run for the money. I kind of wonder if for 250, it isn't the value card, overall.

I'm getting to the point where I remove the Internet Explorer Icons from the desktop, and the launch menus, and replace them with Firefox. I will say Firefox is better then it's been, and so far, all of my favorite sites work fine with it, and, I've even been able to download the plug-ins, and...

X5DA8 motherboard. I got rid of the snarling hornet stock xeon fans, but the darn power supply is just too loud. Suggestions for a power supply?

COOL THREAD. THIS SHOULD BE LIKE A POST IT... S
