  1. Re:ISA... on Seagate to Drop IDE Drives by Year End · · Score: 1

    I have both.

    Though I've been using a PCI modem (that requires a special driver that won't work on 64-bit in case I switch to 64-bit after the next upgrade), and took it out, because all the two FTN links without broadband have got their systems misconfigured, so they called me out of time and with wrong passwords... :( Also, I think they've got broadband for half a year already, but neither of us bothered fixing the links.

    As for the scanner, the system with ISA has 256Mb of RAM, and though the scanner is slow, I'd like to scan into high resolution (yeah, I also have an EPSON LQ-1050 printer - don't worry, I'm not printing graphics on it), which makes it even slower (and until I buy a (SATA, WD) new hard drive, that system will still use 4+1Gb storage). The only real issue is that I don't have the space to store the scanner near that machine without disconnecting it, though. :-)

    Think of the Molex connectors!

    Not sure if SATA power connectors are sturdy enough, though...

    If you worry about SATA cards and IDE hard drives availability, you still have the time to buy spare IDE drives.

    I'm going to buy a SATA drive, though, because I don't really doubt KT7A-RAID won't take a PCI SATA card...

  4. DRM on Sony's Solid State 2.4 Pound Laptop Reviewed · · Score: 1

    The real question is: does it play .ogg? -- By which I mean Vorbis, FLAC, Theora, and any other Ogg and non-ogg non-DRM free formats.

  5. Re:Site's fault. on Password Vulnerability In Firefox 2.0.0.5 · · Score: 1

    I mean, nothing but NoScript matters, if the password is going to be transferred using JS. And then the problem is not unlike the one with remote images blocking: you'd like to allow it by the source, not only by the target. Well, at least I would.

    Agreed. Though, if the site gets hacked with that intent, nothing really matters as long as the user decides to enter the password...

    That's what you get for writing one short and one long message in one comment, and then splitting them in two: someone else has posted the short one in the meantime.

  8. Site's fault. on Password Vulnerability In Firefox 2.0.0.5 · · Score: 1

    Please, isn't it the site's vulnerability and not Firefox'es, eh?!!
    If a site owner tells me it's my browser's fault that their users can change their site's behaviour, and s/he are not going to do anything about it, I'll leave the damn site.

  10. Ethernet on Linux MPX Multi-touch Alternative to MS Surface · · Score: 2, Funny

    But does it have Gigabit Ethernet, which Microsoft® Surface® does not have (Why Why is M$ saving $10 from a $5000-10000 computer?)?..

    Why is this modded offtopic? Who needs a player most? MPAA does!

    Those who claim that the above is an inherently bad idea that wouldn't work in any game at all, should check BZFlag.

  13. Re:500M document on Microsoft to Offer Free Online Storage · · Score: 1

    with all the crud thats included in their document formats you'd think they would have the scenes to give quite a bit more space than 500M this is an excellent opportunity to upload a minimal Microsoft® Office 2007 document...

  14. The phrase itself annoys me much more... on Top Irritating Words Spawned by Internet · · Score: 1

    Ican imagine somebody making a blog for a wiki, but not so much a wiki for a blog; anyway, Idon't think there can be anything bad in it, if it's an informative resource rather than a personal homepage only displaying the author's contact info. Hmm, poorly worded; Imean that a wiki potentially editable by only one person is a waste of screen space. Though, as you can choose a different layout, that makes it less bad. But, as long as it's separate, what's the big deal with making it with a blog, or without?
