  1. Re:Hard Drive Stickers on The Funniest Places for Hardware Stickers? · · Score: 1

    Yes, my LCD monitor has a Dell "300GB 10K Ultra 320 SCSI" label on it.

    So does my digital camera. My laptop, however, has the 146GB 15K Ultra 320 SCSI model.

    There must be at least 10 items in the office that have a yellow "Caution: Inline powered ethernet" warning as well.
    Including cordless phones, a 1970's era Pioneer stereo, a red stapler, and a hammer.

    That same pioneer stereo also claims to have an AMD Duron CPU, which blends so well with the brushed aluminum that it's barely noticable.

    My LCD monitor also has a "VIA" brand "gra" model chipset heatsink stuck to it. And yes, it does appear to say "Viagra" on it.

    And the hammer also has a "designed for Windows 95/NT" sticker on it, and has for at least 8 years now.

  2. Re:Outlook corporate mailbox on What Mailbox Format Do You Use And Why? · · Score: 1

    If you are using Outlook Express for your home email (as I was, since my wife wouldn't use UNIX), your mail is trapped in Outlook Express' proprietary binary format forever.

    Unless you figure out how navigate through File>Export>messages , although that only gives you the option to export to Exchange/Outlook. But you can then import that into other 3rd party clients.

  3. Re:2 Cable +1 DSL = Super fat pipe??? on Shotgunning Ethernet Connections? · · Score: 1

    I've got a dual homed Windows2000 computer, with one NIC going to my @home cable modem, the other going to my DSL router. Although it doesn't load balance automatically, I can manage my routing tables to specify which interface to use. For example, I specify which interface to use for the IP addresses of each ISP's news server (they restrict access to their own netblocks), so I can download simultaneously from each, which adds up to a lot of bandwidth.

    When I want to play games, I add a route entry for the server I connect to, specifying to use my DSL, since it has lower latency and packetloss. My default route is over the cablemodem, so if I want a fast download, I don't have to specify anything.

    I doubt it would work the same way on the university LAN question due to their setup, but it works great for my purposes.

    It could probably be used in the multiple cablemodem/DSL question above, although I don't think the bultin Internet Connection Sharing could utilize the same thing and provide it to your LAN. Probably a third party app could do it, though. It would certainly work for the one computer, though, since it's basically what I'm doing.

  4. Re:this is a bit much on VIA Samuel 2 Processor Preview · · Score: 1

    Considering Intel did not release a 50 MHz part until June, 1991, your pre-release engineering sample must be worth quite a bit.

    In fact, 12 years ago, Intel was introducing the 80386SX-16.

    Let me know if your time machine is for sale.
