I think the Dreamcast had a heatpipe. Lots of laptops have heat pipes (basically a tube under certain pressure and a bit of an angle with a few drops of water in it, in normal state it is liquid, that under heat cause the water to turn to vapor, migrate away from the heat source, evaporate and drip back down the tube into vapor again.) Not new at all, and very passive... Not actively pumped about like this is....
WTF are you talking about. All Hughes (DirecPC, DirecWAY, AOLPlus) ARE geosynchronous. They HAVE to be, otherwise your internet would blink on and off as it comes over the horizon and then sets... Not sure about all the others though, but logic says they MUST be...
Totally weird. My company does tech support for comcast. They had a serious latency problem earlier today in the Remedy application. I was redirected to "JUMPSTART" by the tech who answered the main support line. They answered the phone "Comcast Enterprise support..."
Just a funny coincidence I guess.
And unfortunately, we on the support end have absolutely no clue either way on the issue. All I know is that there was a serious slowdown of the main call logging tool this afternoon. We cannot ping said transparent proxy from our facility, but thats likely because our firewall prevents it.
"d'oh!"
No, No, and No. Right clicking and exiting STILL leaves sapisrv running. (although a separate problem about not being able to type c, v, t, or g when its up does stop happening.)
Running Office Setup to remove the option doesn't do anything. Its explained in q278927.
And NO, you can't just NOT install it. It is installed by default, as explained in the above KB article. HOWEVER, the Anonymous Coward with the quip about my sig HAD a good answer in the "Can be" and "disabled" links. I haven't seen it in a good two hours since I read those links. Thanks!
A bit Offtopic, but has anybody been able to truly get rid of the language bar on OfficeXP? I still have a task running (SAPISRV.EXE), and it keeps coming back... I haven't found a way to keep the lousy thing off my screen...
uggh, read the message.... thats 5 watts into a 15dbi antenna...... ERP of only about 60-70 watts. Good god, I can't even imagine how much it would cost to get 1500W out. I'd probably have to use a magnetron. And while the microwave oven theory is correct, the smallest oven puts out at least 300-400 watts into a shielded enclosure, designed to reflect around the waves. My setup won't cook anything, but nevertheless I don't have the thing near my house, its way out back.
Does anybody have an definitive answer as to how these wireless devices stand on the FCC's "totem pole". I was under the impression that us ham radio operators (at least for the part of the spectrum we share with 802.11b, about 1/2 - 2/3 of the channels) were given a higher priority than the ISM unlicensed users. In fact my license gives me the ability to jam out 1500 watts with no limitation of ERP. So my spread spectrum 5 watt signal at 2.406 mhz sent through a 15db vertical is going to cause them at least a hiccup if they ever make it down to Florida. (my signal is audible enough to digipeat at 23 miles from my house. (yikes, too bad I can't make money off of it...)) What would happen if say a company wanted to use the same frequency my station is set to? In the past hams have usually been trod upon, as the primary users have priority. Does this actually mean they have to work around me for once?!
Aha! Being that you actually take calls, you would likely know more about the subject than I. A few quick questions to the supervisors and a random tech on Friday yielded a bit of info. They generally do not support the use of broadband routers. (this means they generally won't actually help the users set them up. Not that they don't want them on their network.) I guess I happened to listen to somebody who was helping somebody out, outside policy. The supervisors didn't seem to know what I meant, and when I explained they shrugged it off as "We don't help them with routers." So tech support seems not to care one way or the other, and is definitely not part of the manhunt.
While I don't work on the phones (my job is to keep the client machines that tech support personnel use for logging calls running) I do end up listening to quite a few calls in that account. In fact I was listening to call today, where a gentleman was trying to get his Linksys four-port NAT-enabled router working with Comcast's service. Not only did the tech not mention anything about not supporting NAT, but the tech support agent helped him set up the router, made it work with one machine, waited while this gentleman went to his other machine, and helped him ensure that his tcp/ip settings were correct. He was using the 192.168 network locally.
Hmmm maybe we're just slow to get the news?
Is he referring to two IDE "Interfaces" as active meaning Master/Slave on one IDE controller (say the primary) or one drive as master on the primary, and one as master on the secondary?
I certainly have seen a performance cut when both drives are accessed in the first (master/slave) arrangement, but All Good Techs know this already! If he is referring to the Master on Primary and Master on Secondary arrangement, I would say you have an isolated problem there! I have never seen performance penalties for running drives on separate controllers. In fact this is why when you try and burn from CD-CD the recommended arrangement is one drive on primary, and one drive on secondary....

Well, isn't it a predatory device used to prey on the average person? Come on, I thought this was common knowledge... :)
I want my hotmail...
Can't wait till they distribute chocolate this way...
Finally, just what I need. An HW accelerated desktop. Does this mean I don't need to compile 3 seperate packages just to play a game?
