    You really meant MYDOCU~1.

    Spent way too many hours doing W95 support over the phone. Type C as in Charlie, D as in Delta and then hit the space bar. Type M as in Mike, Y as in Yankee, D as in Delta, O as in Oscar, C as in Charlie, U as in Uniform. Now a tilde. That's located next to the One key on your keyboard. Okay, and the number One. Now press enter.

    What do you mean The system cannot find the path specified. {wimper}

  10. Why do reviewer's speculate? on eSATA External Storage Drive Reviewed · · Score: 2, Insightful
    From pg 5
    It is interesting to note that Thecus uses a PCI Express slot to connect the drive cage to the controller PCB. If the device will one day become an NAS system , all Thecus has to do is exchange the controller board with the NAS version, which carries a network port instead of the eSATA connector.
    Or MAYBE... they just used an off the shelf part to connect two boards together because the parts were cheap and didn't require any new fabrication. I have a docking station that uses an "AGP Slot" to connect two PCI slots plus some misc connections at a right angle to the main board. Do I think I can add remove the PCI Slots and actually install an AGP video card? C'mon people. Quit talking about things you have no idea about. Its articles like this that remind me why I don't read Tom's.

    On all of our Dell Latitudes, Optiplexes and othe "Business" line PCs, we get a straight OS install CD (along with a few other CDs for pre-loaded applications) Its patched up to the latest SP and will install on anything. No BIOS checking to see if its a Dell or not. Just a bone stock install of the OS.

  16. Re:Depending on your UPS configuration... on Data Centers And DC Power · · Score: 1
    Using multiple generators provides cheaper redundancy too. In an AC setup if you wanted to be protected against a generator failure, you'd need two identical gensets, each large enough to run the whole load. With DC, say you had 5 generators but 4 could power the load. You still have no single point of failure, and you don't have to buy *double* the generating capacity.
    Ohhh... So you have RAIG...Redundant Array of Inexpensive Generators. And either RAIG1 for AC and RAIG5 for DC. Thanks

  19. Re:"Ma Bell" should be called "Big Brother" instea on Ma Bell is Back · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm amazed you were able to get the phone line physically removed.

    I had a house where the previous owners had had phone service ran to a garage apartment. I was remodelling and wanted it removed as its placement on the building was awkward and in my way.

    The linemen were working in the alley behind my place and wouldn't remove it without a work order. Fair enough. I called and after almost an hour of being transferred around, I got someone to place a work order to remove the phone line.

    Fortunately I was at home when they came as they started to remove my phone service at the house. Stopped them from doing that, but they wouldn't actually remove the service off the garage since the work order didn't specify that.

    Tried to get them to come back out and never had any luck. So I pulled the box off of the garage, rolled up the attached cable as well as possible and left it at the base of the telephone pole.

    That was three years ago. The phone box and cable are still at the base of the telephone pole.

  22. Re:Evolve, Sir. on Ex-Britannica Editor Reviews Wikipedia · · Score: 5, Informative
    But it has been edited by others:

    The history page for this article reveals a most interesting story. Originally, the 1757 birth date was used. Thus the internal inconsistencies of ages and dates that I saw are artifacts of editing. Originally, the two citations of the year Hamilton resigned from the Cabinet agreed; editing has changed one but not the other. In fact, the earlier versions of the article are better written overall, with fewer murky passages and sophomoric summaries. Contrary to the faith, the article has, in fact, been edited into mediocrity.


    His whole point is that the article started off reasonably good and through haphazard editing sounds like a highschool student wrote it.

    I use wikipedia as well, but just to get a starting point on a subject I know little about.
