  1. The ultimate bios site on Finding BIOS Upgrades? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Be sure to try Wim' Bios page Click the award or ami bios id link at the top and you will be directed to a page the can identify the motherboard manifacturer based on the bios id (the string of numbers at the bottom of the screen during post). Armed with that knowledge, you can then go to that companies site and look for your particular board. It has helped me locate bios' for no-name boards many times. As an aside, I don't know much about Asian culture, but it seems to me they must know that some of their products are really crappy and thus don't put their company name anywhere on them. --Mike

  2. Re:Won't AT&T immediatly take over? on Excite Could Go Dark On Friday · · Score: 1

    I guess that is the million dollar question. Obviously all AT&T Cable COs will have priority of staying lit. Does AT&T have the obligation or the desire to continue servicing no-AT&T owned Cable COs? Or will we be the first ones to have the little fiber running to the @Home mothership snipped? If so I am up the creek, I am going to miss the $20/month for internet deal I got from sweet-talking the lady at the local office.

  3. Won't AT&T immediatly take over? on Excite Could Go Dark On Friday · · Score: 1

    Since AT&T is a majority shareholder and ALL of their Cable Subscribers rely on the @Home network, why would they let the network go tits up? In the letter they are sending out they say that they are building their own broadband network "just in case". Seems like a waste of time and money when they could just buy up @Home's fully functioning infrastructure for pennies on the dollar in bankruptcy court. Or maybe I am wrong and they can instantly pull another network the size of @home out of their arse.

  4. He stole my idea! on 12-volt Plexiglass Computer · · Score: 1

    I have a similar version of such a computer. I built mine back in april of 2000. Not quite as small as this one, but the idea is the same. One note to the dude who's box is featured here: try this. Beats the crap out of any Win9x/Winamp solution anyday of the week. 'nuff said
