Yeah, everyone knows that Tannin is full of shit with this one. Raise your hand if you agree with Tannin. No sock puppets are allowed to participate.

I can too. I had a 512MB PC2700 DIMM go bad a while ago.

I really don't think that will happen in the next decade (maybe longer) as a CD or DVD can be produced for well under $1. OTOH, flash memory is probably about 1000 times more expensive. It would not make sense for Microsoft to release the version of Windows on a USB flash stick. It would be far...

How large was your installation? I can't remember the version that I recently installed at home, but if I would have installed all the options it looked like it would have taken up about 700MB. I don't really think I need all those extra programs that Nero now includes. I install it for the...

Instead of starting a new thread every time your cat jumps in the air, can't you just amend an old thread with the new post?

I definitely agree that IBM T series laptops are the way to go. I have repaired laptops before and all were a major PITA except for IBM. I actually have a Dell Latitude D600 through work. It really isn't all that bad. It is kind of flimsy feeling, but I am careful with it and it would have...

What did your boss do? Just don't make the same mistake and it sounds like you are golden. Over half of my department was just let go last week. Fun times indeed.

Just so everyone knows. I hate XP.

That is a pretty obscure reference and took me a few minutes to get it. But, generally the references I come up with are just as obscure. http://www.snpp.com/episodes/BABF20 I generally watch a few Simpsons episodes a week. I go in spurts though. This episode is season 12 which i normally...

You will still be using more electricity if the CPU is being used 100% versus an average of 1-5%

You also have to enter one of those randomly generated codes from an image file to make your post go through, so hopefully that will take care of most of the spam.

Well I ended up installing the script that I mentioned above. I got it completely customized so that it looks like the rest of of the site. You can check it out, but I wouldn't look at any of the content unless you want your eyes to pop out of your head. (No pornography or anything, mainly...

I think at this point that has to be done manually.

I have a personal website that I want to have a guestbook on. This is normally simple, but I want the guestbook to be integrated into the design so that it looks like the rest of the site. The site is pretty simple (uses CSS). So, does anyone have any experience with any of the different free...

BTW I just checked out Lunarpages and it is $8/month for their cheapest plan if you pay for an entire year ($96). But, they also give you a free domain name. 1GB of storage with option to get it increased to 3GB and 100GB transfer per month.

I have sold some books on eBay. After you have a username set up just find a similar auction and copy what they said. Not too difficult.

I use www.godaddy.com for domain registration. I have heard good things about www.lunarpages.com for hosting. One of my friends uses them and they have worked fine. Pretty cheap too.

The version I installed didn't require activation. I used a volume license though.

jtr, if you want me to try CAD PCB tool to see if it works you can send it to me and I will test it for you on 2003

I haven't had any of these issues. All of the applications that i have wanted to use install just fine. I can make a list if anyone wants to know. And I can install something to see if it works for someone, as long as it is not spyware infested. I did have a bit of a problem getting ATI's...

I bet Mercutio knows a way. How about an academic copy? Anyone have access to those?

Tannin, have you used 2003 Server yet? If not, you should really check it out.

Maybe someone around here has an extra Windows 2003 license available that they could help jtr out with for cheap...

I'm not a big fan of XP. I am running Windows 2003 Server and unless you set it up to be a server, then it really does not act like a server OS anymore than 2000 or XP does. I would suggest 2003, but I'm sure some people will disagree with me.

jtr, you are still running Windows 98, correct? Give Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 a try, they will probably take care of many of the problems you encounter with your OS.

OK I sent the email. The post isn't all that long. This is one of the weirdest errors that I have ever encountered.

Nope, didn't work.

Do you know what words? Because, I still can't make that post. I don't think I will be able to post it here either.

Specifically it is the Something Random thread.

I am getting a 403 Forbidden when trying to reply to a thread. Any idea why?

If I were you, I might try to do something a little closer to home. Maybe something within driving distance. I am always reluctant to run up a credit card past the point where I can pay all of it off. I have only done this once, after the last time I went to Europe in 2003. I did pay it off...

You should try it at least once. It might even do you some good.

Do you have like a multi-million dollar trust fund or something?

i, I have heard of this happening to other people I know. Try going to a college campus and pretending that you are a student. Fill out their applications and they will give anyone a credit card.

Have you checked your credit recently? Anything over 720 and I would not worry about qualifying for the best mortgage rates.

Don't hold back. Tell it the way it is Stereodude.

And drive the wrong way down one-ways...wait I do that.

Chicago is the same way. I especially like the racing bus driver. I was on a racing bus just last week. The driver was literally going 60mph in a 25mph zone and not even stopping to pick up people at stops. I saw one guy waving his briefcase in the air, but the bus driver still didn't stop...

Azureus is not too quick with the downloading either. From my tests of different clients BitTornado is the best. It still uses quite a bit of memory, but at least you will get your download finished faster.

If you want to download torrents, I use mininova.org. I also use a couple of member-only sites.

It looks legit to me. Did you notice that shipping is $25? I have bought from eBay many times without much of a problem. I have sold a few hundred items as well. It is not as unsafe as many people would lead you to believe.

e_dawg: just tell them that they are too old to understand. Maybe if you had your reading glasses on it wouldn't be so hard to see the memory card, Tannin. :wink:

I am still using Winamp 2.91. I don't go for those new versions.

Hmm. That is the first book that I have seen on there where you could get most of the content. A couple of the pages were blanked out. I think that is more the exception than the rule.

Well considering that it is on Slate. That writer essentially works for Microsoft.

Yeah a date display would be nice. I have a cell phone on me at almost all times though in case I really need to know.

You need a new job.

My old cubicle had views of two windows. It was too bright. My new cubicle is like a cave, much better.

It has a window in the side. Enough said.

I searched, but couldn't find anything with that many internal drive bays. The Lian-Li case looks nice. You should buy it and then let the rest of us know if it is nice.
