one of the things newegg has done for me before (don't remember if i requested or they suggested), is send me a new one before i even sent old back, by charging me and then auto-refunding when they get back the rma one.It's an option on the request RMA form, I did it once with an Asus Commando motherboard (no support calls required) that died a week after I got it. Actually as I recall, they just kept the card info "on record" and never charged it because I got the Mboard back within the 2 week grace period.-mouser (June 24, 2008, 03:29 AM)
aeron chari = $1000Damn Straight (and well worth it) If you're planning to be sitting in it for 16hrs at a time. I'm not sure what the wife paid for the one I got for Christmas but I think it was in the $300 range, and that was after a good-buddy discount during a half-off last year's inventory sale.
for a chair !??!?!!?-mouser (March 22, 2006, 06:34 AM)
By the way, I used Betaclock at work on Windows XP and it worked fine, but it doesn't seem to work on my Vista x64 home machine. I'm using t-clock at home, but it doesn't seem to support different font/color for time and date either.The font color not working with T-Clock/Vista is (usually) due to the transparency of the systemtray letting anything behind it bleed through. There were some other issues with the clock text being fuzzy with certain video cards, and the clock would stop updating periodically, but they both went away after SP1-dominus (June 12, 2008, 09:17 PM)
The only burning app I use these days is imgburn. I don't really need much fancyness when I burn individual files, and it does the job pretty well.Me too ... Small, Fast, Clean, it's an excellent piece of software. However I never can remember to turn off the default burn complete wave and it scares the crap outa me every time.-f0dder (June 11, 2008, 06:05 PM)
If you have the name (I suppose you mean the model) you can easily look them up on Google or your favourite search engine. And if they're still connected to the PC, well, Windows already know how big they areNot to mention that if it's in your hand the size is printed on the case... Is it just me or does this thread have all the earmarks of a spam post setup line?-Lashiec (June 09, 2008, 06:59 AM)
this one gets used quite a bit...I have used that one at work more than once when responding to Email from a client...-Edvard (May 05, 2008, 11:35 AM)
Hopefully they have sorted out the SP2 TCPIP.SYS stupid security fix (ie. limit outgoing TCPIP connections to 10). If not does anyone know if the widely available patch/hack works with SP3 too as without that it makes using Torrents pretty well impossible?The only time I've run into this as an issue was part of a network scanner I'm currently working on. If there were a block of dead addresses it would tend to stall for ~15sec about every ~20 Addys. I stopped doing a WSACleanup() on the dead socket (null...) instances and just set them to null. Not only did the problem go away but the app quit throttling the processor during the scan. Now it runs at a consistant speed on everything from Win2k all the way up to Server 2008.-Carol Haynes (April 23, 2008, 06:10 AM)
It's going to be downloadable from MS on the 29th so is there any point downloading a dubious copy from a dubious source ?100% agreed-Carol Haynes (April 23, 2008, 05:34 AM)
Incidentally when it is released can you slipstream it to an SP2 disc or do you need an original XP disc to slipstream?
From the MS KB Article you posted.WHS works just fine for that, and is as close to a set & forget setup as you can get.-Stoic Joker (April 16, 2008, 06:19 AM)
If you read the reviews at Amazon you will see that WHS is great when it works but the unfixed bug mentioned in the first MS KB article also affects the backup routine. I guess if you are lucky then it works fine but if you install it and find you are one of the affected people you have basically but a lot of rubbish (until it gets fixed).
The bug has been mentioned in these forums before but there is widespread dissatisfaction on the web with MS's response to the bug. In any other system it would be deemed critical and get fixed quick - even by their own estimates it is going to be at least 6 months from acknowledging the fault before it is likely to see a solution. Pretty indefensible in any operating system but for a server it makes it useless until it is fixed.-Carol Haynes (April 16, 2008, 08:31 AM)
Note Windows Home Server-based computers that have a single hard drive are not affected by this issue, nor are Windows Home Server Computer Backup and Restore capabilities, Health Monitoring, and Remote Access functionality. This issue is specific to Windows Home Server and does not affect other Windows Server-based products.
I'm going to add that I suggest using Mockup Screens for the same reason as the developer.I've gotten burned on this one myself. Just because it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, & quacks like a duck ... Doesn't mean it's a complete duck."2. Why does MockupScreens create sketches instead of "real" screens?
Showing the life-looking prototype to the customer or managers can spell disaster. They will percieve "almost finished" application and you can't say or do anything to explain otherwise. The easiest way to avoid this is to have mockups that clearly don't look even close to the real thing."-Mockup Screens - Frequently Asked Questions-tinjaw (April 04, 2008, 05:34 AM)
(Installing a server OS as a workstation is not for me, but... aren't people aloud to experiment? Didn't you, ahem, install Slackware recently... Complexity for the sake of itself spinning out of control? And, well if the 240 days are too long of a trial, well it's not any body's fault, it's MS's. It's not piracy AFAIC. Or is it? Sheesh.)Am I experimenting with Slackware? Yes, it's a workstation OS and I'm exploring it as such. I've also connected it to my Server 208 Server ... Which is a server OS that is running as a server. If people want to experiment with a server OS then they should try to figure out how to use it properly in the function it was designed for. Instead of trying to Monster Garage it into something it was never intended to be.-Armando (April 07, 2008, 07:00 PM)
I still wonder if there's much use in doing the server->workstation thing, though.I quit wondering about that after I decided it was a completely retarded excuse to pirate an OS that no one in their right mind would pay $700 for just to run it as a "Workstation".-f0dder (April 06, 2008, 09:54 AM)
Also keep in mind that some products require more expensive licenses if you want to run them on a server OS, and some of the free antivirus products will refuse to install.Complexity for the sake of itself spinning out of control, etc, etc, etc.
