well I'm still using an Abit NF7-S v2.0 board at home.. have been since buying it used in 2003.
It is occasionally flaky every couple months I will have to screw around with it a little to get it to post, but getting 5 years out of it I've been pretty happy with it.
Seems quick enough, and some people will know the NVidia Nforce 2 Ultra's South bridge contains a quite decent onboard sound chip, similar to the XBOX (v1) sound chip, the NVidia SoundStorm...
Step 1) Turn down your monitor's brightness Step 2) Stop whining Step 3) There is no step 3!
Even better:
Find row of buttons at/near front of monitor
Adjust buttons until brightness is lower... Adjust buttons until saturation is lower (If no saturation or colour controls on monitor, go to graphics driver control panel)
... the live cd was just too much for the 24x CD drive.
also the live CD was too much for 192 MiB...
I found that if you can get it to boot on 256 MiB, consider yourself lucky, the live CD is really designed for 384+
My personal opinion is that the "super-cheap" new computer market should start at 512MiB of RAM as it's soo cheap, and that would make it so much more useful... if it has USB, you can buy all the storage you need for cheap, so that's not a problem, but 128MiB?? come on!!
what does this have to do with SMP video apps... plus, complain, but also you should report bugs with subtitles...
Burned in Subtitles are great if you want to re-encode each language of the movie separately.
If the movie player worked properly then it would look fine... Also, fonts should be selectable in the movie player, not locked to the subtitle file... WMP is v11 not v20... and AFAIK doesn't do subtitles out of the box, anyone?
Jebus man, just hold the camera still, don't wander, look through the viewfinder, and hold the camera steady!! if your hand shakes, buy a bloody tripod...
... but at least you get what you pay for (assuming no BT throttling, etc shenanigans). Big assumptions there...
I'm in New Zealand here and we have DSL... no cable etc... there is one company that supplies DSL... a company called Telecom... that has had a monopoly since the Govt. sold it out in the 1990s...
So only just this year has "Unbundling" supposed to increase competition...
Anyway back to the state of NZ internet...
It's all "metered" Telecom tried to sell an "Unlimited" 256kbit plan a while back but the limitations were too much (700mb a day max, all protocols throttled)
So now the usual plans are between 1 to 10 Gigabyte download per month, and either "Max" download speed (ADSL so about 3 to 5 mbits) and either "Max" or 128kbit upload depending on how much you would like to pay...
Some of the other ISPs (which are just reselling Telecom's DSL) have slightly better deals, but are all restricted quite heavily.
My plan is 50GB a month, about 4mbit down and 512kbit up... usually the throttling means I see 50 to 100KB max on torrents...
costs me about $90 NZD (~$70 USD) a month... and you don't get a refund if you don't use the whole bandwidth either.. and if I use more then 50GB it's $2 a GB over that.
Mentioned twice before in these comments (that I could see), but not modded up so here's another mention... Use a pair of woks or other parabolic kitchen implements... mesh is good for wind damage reduction... point one at the other and bingo, 3 to 10km range for the price of woks and 2 USB WiFi adaptors.
Welcome to the world of Linux package management... (ubuntu's anyway)
I gave up on ubuntu keeping their packages up to date, and simply manually install ff3 in the/opt folder and make new shortcuts to it... since I couldn't find the perfect deb package in any of the PPAs and the official repositories are limited to whatever the ubuntu package maintainers are allowed to upgrade too.
[X] Allow resizing of chat input area [X] Automatically control chat input window size hmmm IMHO I think those could both be on by default and option one is pointless... show of hand who would ever disable resizing of chat input area???
ugly? it is simple and functional... I don't think it's ugly myself, but everyone has their opinion... It has crashed for me once, in 2 years of daily use
I third that! I use Pidgin because then I don't have to have MSN, Yahoo, and Google all installed, and god knows MSN and Yahoo are annoying, and memory hogs... I prefer pidgin, but this whole auto-resize business is a travesty, it's just stupid, it should default to 1 line not half a line!! it's very annoying... My opinion is it should "auto-resize" until manually resized! (Obviously should allow manual resize...) No menu options required:)
It seems I cannot locate the compatiblity check setting within about:config...
however to get it working:
- download the dev version of adblockplus from http://adblockplus.org/devbuilds/ (right-click "Save Link as") - then extract the xpi (it's actually a zip file) you'll only need to edit the install.rdf file - alter the file install.rdf (it is an XML file... if you're using windows, use wordpad, it's easier to read with correct line ends) - find 3.0b5pre and replace with 3.0b5 - add the altered install.rdf file back into the xpi file, or recompress the whole thing - type in the address to the altered xpi file in firefox ( e.g. in my case file:///D:/DOWNLOADS/adblockplus-0.7.5.3+.2008032513.xpi ) - install - ???? - PROFIT!!
usually profile from ff2 causes this.. best to save out your bookmarks from ff2 or backup your profile folder, or both, then delete your profile if it's crashing at start.
Just my experience from a version of ff3 beta 2 on linux.. beta 3 and beta 4 have been good to me so far, but I only use Adblock and Spelling extensions...
I actually found this new bar quite useful, it actually uses some fuzzy logic and puts the things you use most/recently at the top... also using icons and the actual page titles instead of just the addresses..
It uses SQLite to query history/bookmarks/typed addresses.

That's all for now
If you can afford a window, open it.
The outside air is probably cooler then the inside air... if it's not, tough luck, you can't afford anything else.
What about this crazy idea:
My open source project is called Foobar you insensitive clod!

Same 403.6 error here in Auckland, New Zealand on Compass Communications

well my billing period is 23rd to 23rd each month... not sure what world you live in?
Trucks high-tech??? who would have thought??? WOW I would never have thought!!

sounds like... China! ;)
Yep! Welcome to teh new "upgraded" downloads dialog.
;)
On another note, it pause/resumes now... which is so useful for... I dunno... dial-up??

Finally a kindred soul... LOL

I use the new "awesomebar" and find it more useful then the old one.
Huh...
I actually found this new bar quite useful, it actually uses some fuzzy logic and puts the things you use most/recently at the top... also using icons and the actual page titles instead of just the addresses..
It uses SQLite to query history/bookmarks/typed addresses.
Oh well to each his own.
