Its much more than filesystem integrety checking, and even if fsck is fixing your problems now, you might want to see why smart is pestering you.
Indeed. I understand what SMART is, thus why I have it running and get alerted of mojor-ish errors it detects. It tells me that seek times increase and decrease over time. once in a while isn't a big deal (perhaps I was reading a lot of fragmented data or something along those lines - but that's only once in a great while). When I'm seeing 10 or so of them a week, it's time to invest in a new drive and dd mine...
what the hell was millions of dollars worth of data doing on a windows box without any backup?! sheesh!
Good points! My responses:
A. At the time, that's what I told to use...
B. There were backups, but, they fired the night before, and (one time in particular), it was mid-afternoon...
works like a charm to save data on corrupted windows boxes..
INDEED! I've saved several millions of dollars worth of info by booting NT* servers with a Knoppix CD (or Gentoo before they dropped samba support from the live CDs). I was praised as a herald. Nope. It's not me. I just used the right tool for the right job. Recovering a Windows system with Windows is near impossible.
Aside, I use Linux bootables (Gentoo mostly) for checking the life of my HDs. I run a Gentoo machine (installed near 3 year ago). hda has seen a LOT (even before I put Gentoo on it - it was an MDK drive after it was a Win* drive). I've noticed SMARTd telling me latley that his life may be running short these days, but, after a e2fsck, it's fine./me shrugs. I still need to replace him regardless.
It's only a 10G drive (I have 4 others, much larger, in this box), but he needs to be replaced soon.
Aside, I've saved a LOT of Win* Servers / laptops / desktops with "Live CD's".
Yes, he's quite serious about the pubic hair thing. I don't have any URL's handy to show (since I'm not into that stuff...), but, yes; in Japan the pr0n is indeed classified different depending on whether there's pubic hair or not. Clearly, "tubgirl" has no pubic hair, thus that image (in Japan) is "legal". It's an interesting world. folks...
Of course, the VIC-20 was pretty close to a toy, with its 22-column display and 5k RAM.
Not at that time. Granted I started (well, got more serious) with a C=64, but I did play around with a VIC-20. All I had before that was an Atari 2600 (and played with a Sinclair and a luggable Compaq in there somewhere, I for get the exact time line). The VIC was superior to anything that was remotely available (read == affordable) at that time.
No but you're a gentoo user who named their machine "aragorn"
That says a whole lot of _somthing_
I'm just not sure what...
Actually, I named him far before the movies cam out. I've read the trilogy twice prior to buying the movies. Since you may know the story of the Fellowship of the Ring, there is a reason this machine is named Aragorn. Gandalf, WAS the leader. In his absence, Aragorn was tapped. Thus... (Gandalf was a dual MMX-233 machine; he is no longer active, stuck in my closet, but not active.)
Wait...you have to manually configure AGP modes and fastwrites in a text configuration file?
The drivers can't work that shit out for themselves?
It's like ten lines of code to read a few PCI configuration registers! Come on!
Umm, first, what does PCI code have to do with an AGP card?
Second, OK, I see your point. Perhaps the modules should be able to figure it out on their own, but having that level of control over a piece of hardware is a DAMN nice thing...
Thanx for the head's up! I didn't know about the last two lines (RTFM, I know...). I have a GF4-ti4600, and you just got me about 50 fps in RTCW. Thanx!
I still have X using nVidia's AGP modules (Option "AGPMode" "1"), but you got me a faster game play. I'm off to test Jedi Academy (under Cedega).
i dont think anything i've ever seen of theirs that contains a cd or dvd drive has lasted more than a year.
B.S.
Just this past Garbage Day (Yesterday) I finally tossed my old Sony CD player that I bought in (about) 1988 or 1989 (yes EIGHTY). The thing still works for the most part actually, it's just that the motor for the CD tray finally went belly up. I decided that I didn't need it anymore as I have a DVD player that plays audio CDs and also have several computers in the house.
After ~15 years of use, and having it survive through my teen drug years and there after (I'm 31 now), I'd call that a well built product.
Don't be silly of corse I did but It was not to download IE.
I wasn't talking about DL'ing IE, I was talking about DL'ing Windows Updates (or http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com ). The only browser that site allows is IE, unless you know of a way to have it's ActiveX B.S. run under something other than IE...
That's my point exactlly (even though I got modded as "FlameBait" for making it).
The "IT Guys" put the proxie's IP in the DHCP lease and there is nothing else to worry about (as far as that goes, anyway). The client machine knows, or cares, nothing else. No matter what browser the machine is using...

Wrong.
This is why I voted for Perot in '88.

I don't know which is funnier:

or
There is a group of people you know (and are friends with - including yourself) that own Fords.
I've had two of them. I will never buy another Ford...
