Nobody's sure as to which one, though. However, we need her e-mail, and we need to send her the Fetish Catalog (I only know of it from reading KillCat.com, an anti-CueCat site that came up with creative ways of destroying them, and noticed that missing the G key and pressing F when typing "getcat.com" gave you the Fetish Catalog's site) under multiple names. Also, we need some collect calls.
http://www.commell.com.tw/Product/SBC/LV-670M.HTM Pentium 4-M by Commell, and it seems that someone has gotten a hold of it (and the P4 LV-670): http://www.silentpcreview.com/modules.php?op=modlo ad&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid= 111&page=1 BTW, I think it's Socket 478 anyway...
http://www.lippert-at.com/miniitx.html It's a Pentium M board, and they seem to be a bit... confused as to the specs of the PM - they're calling it a 1600+, but if Intel were to use a PR on the 1.6GHz, it would be about 2800+! It's about 379 euros w/o CPU or RAM, and 888 with a 1.6GHz Pentium M and 512MB DDR. I'm too lazy to see how much it would cost me in dollars, but I know that the ratio is close to 1:1, so $888 for a Mini-ITX mobo, 1.6GHz CPU, and 512MB RAM is WAY TOO FUCKING MUCH, especially considering that I can buy a Pentium M laptop for $1000 from Acer, and it would be a very respectable laptop for $1159 (including shipping - the $1000 figure does not include shipping, a CD-RW or DVD, and only has 128MB RAM instead of 256MB, and WinXP Home instead of Pro (which that is actually better, as it costs less - less tax when it gets reloaded, as I won't use XP - 2000 and SuSE all the way))
Now, does anyone know whether the Athlon XP-M is Socket A? I know the Athlon 64 DTR is whatever the desktop A64 uses (700+ pins?). As for mobile Celeries and Pentiums (exceptions: Pentium II-M, Pentium M, and (possibly) P4/Cel-M), they're the desktop sockets anyway.
What I want is for Intel to admit that their old P6 core that dates back to the days of the Pentium Pro is MUCH better than their NetBurst core, and release a Socket 478 Pentium M <message type="subliminal">sign my petition</message>. If not that, I'd like to see PowerLeap look at the pin layouts of Sockets 478 and 479, and release an adaptor. They're pretty good at making adaptors for radically different pin systems - look at their PL-iP3/T (confirmation that this is the model number, please?) - it allows Socket 370 CPUs to be used on a Slot 1 (296-pin) slot. The PL-K6-III is an AMD K6-III 400 on an adaptor (I forgot it's model number, and the PL-K6-III seems to be out of production, but not the adaptor itself) from 320 pins to 321 pins. They have an adaptor from Socket 423 to Socket 478. Hell, they have a hyper-threading adaptor for Socket 478 boards! (I don't know exactly HOW you trick a bus into thinking two processors are connected two it on one socket, especially when it wasn't designed to know how to handle that, but...) Especially when you consider that a Pentium M is compatible with the buses of Socket 423 and 478 boards, I bet it would be VERY possible.
History: I can selectively delete in every browser, and Opera makes it really easy to nuke it all (along with cache and Wand passwords, among other things)
Favorites/Bookmarks: Remember the damn URLs! Actually, I just use two portals, thehun and autopr0n.
Cache: In IE, it gets REALLY fun, as Windows tries to hide your cache, filling up your hard drive, making it almost impossible to delete quickly, and if you know where it is, fairly easy to find. As for the other browsers, you can kill the cache VERY easily (especially in Opera - it's a great browser if you are paranoid, but it has rather severe memory leaks on Windows, so don't run it on a DOS-based OS).
Password lists: IE hides them fairly well, unless you stumble on a site that a password is saved for. Opera keeps them rather visible, but you can nuke the whole list in a matter of seconds.
Ugh... If that was your point, just FSCKING LINK DIRECTLY TO IT! It would have been funny if you linked to http://goatse.cx/. However, since you linked to http://tinyurl.com/4ui, YOU FAIL IT!
Moderators, do something about this poor excuse for an AC.
Anyway, I thought that you'd get a photo CD and a pack of prints, a la 35mm. Can anyone confirm this?
Yes. It was a word-of-mouth slashdotting, and it was the Hellmouth series of articles that brought it down. Jon Katz wrote a book about geeks who moved from somewhere in Idaho to Chicago, and he mentioned that Taco actually told him to stop writing the stories because it was overloading (read: slashdotting) Slashdot's servers.
I personally don't mind wheels, as I rarely see the need to middle-click under Windows (or even Linux - I run KDE), and the middle button is mapped to left+right on just about every 3-button or wheel mouse. BTW, I can't drag with the wheel on this MS IntelliMouse 1.3A (it's my school's box, and it's not a bad mouse - Dell made good keyboards, and they package great mice), but I can middle-click just fine. A Logitech First Mouse Wheel is an even better middle-clicker, as the wheel is sunken further between the buttons, and it has a plastic area that isn't a button around it (making it easier to steady the wheel). The Logitech Optical Mouse isn't NEARLY as good of a middle clicker, as it is designed similarly to the MS IM in the wheel department (but less sunken), and the Logitech wheel isn't at all as stiff. What I want is a good basic mouse, like the older version of the First Mouse Wheel (the new one is called "First Wheel Mouse" to distinguish it from the FMW (Compaq and Dell OEM M/N: M-S48a)), except in an optical version.
Ah. So, are the inputs both VGA or DVI, or is one VGA and the other DVI? If it's 1 VGA/1 DVI, and your Matrox is a DVI card (I don't know if DVI was available then), then that explains it.
Actually, it's one of those "You know you are old, know what a BBS is, and used one back in the day" things. Or so I would think - I'm far from old, my only boxes back in the BBS days were Apple IIs without modems, and I hadn't even heard of phreaking (it's not like the Apple IIc manual showed you how to make a blue box).
CPUCooL is also a decent overclocking app, and monitors temps. Unfortunately, it won't do very major overclocks - it'll only take a 66fsb to a 75fsb, even if the mobo is capable of going higher (mine can do at least 100). I ran it for a while on my 2k box. Unfortunately, my mobo has a "heat sensor" that continually reads 189 F off of the CPU, and not an actual heat sensor.
SoftFSB can pull MUCH faster overclocks, or so I've heard.
Actually, The Home of the Underdogs got hit HARD by the ICSA (the RIAA of the gaming industry), and ended up stopping distribution of many of the games. Most of the MS stuff on their site was rare versions of DOS and (of course - THOTU is an abandonware site that distributes software that has flopped) Bob.
No, it's 233 PII w/64MB RAM minimum, 300 PII w/128MB RAM recommended. BTW, I've seen benchmarks showing a P100 w/512MB running XP Pro, and THG said that they couldn't get anything meaningful out of a 486, but it was possible(!)
OK, it would only be the most stable if all apps for it were intelligently written to co-op multitask properly (ala Amiga - the one argument for co-op multitasking being worth it). Win2K has good memory management, which keeps it from stability issues caused by apps. Win98 lets anything fsck KRNL386.EXE over quicker than an AC and a comment-less/. story takes to FP the thing. Read my lips: any attempts to multitask on an OS that wasn't designed from the ground up to multitask are going to be unstable. That's why Windows was so unstable until the NT line came out (and then apps started falling over because of poor Win16 emulation and no native Win32 apps), and still was on the consumer line until XP Home came out.
Near anyone with broadband? It's called Win2k OS DDTPV-(I forget the rest - it's the rest of the serial, and it's 89GHM instead of B9GHM (or is it the other way around) if you google Win2K serial DDTPV).iso.exe on KaZaA (rename it to.iso - as an ISO, it isn't classified as software, and doesn't have nearly as much metadata available)
Actually, the funny thing is, for most of the time, Windows 95 is and was probably more popular than 98, then due to the fact that 98 just came out, and now due to the fact that countless embedded systems run it. Here's an anti-WinME troll:
Netcraft (and MS) confirms Windows Me is dying!
Only 0.000001% of the webservers around the world run a Windows ME operating system (not mine - that's Win2K, and it's down now), and Microsoft has announced that it will be EOLed. This will mean loss and hardship for those AOLusers who still use the copy of ME that came on their systems, and will soon not be able to run Windows Update (correct me if I'm wrong, but Win98 users can't access Windows Update anymore, right?) to patch their systems against the latest security threats.
I don't think Taco's willing to do that. Something about copyright and whatnot. How 'bout the site be given notice that they're about to be/.ed, and would they like/. to mirror that section or their entire site until it moves off the front page, and you have 24 hrs to reply, or we slashdot your site without a cache?

It's not Nehemia... it's the C5P, which is in development. The Nehemia is the C5XL.

Actually, it's the using the Lin from Linux with the, um, indows of Windows.
Actually, I've upgraded a few of my high school's boxes to Windows 2000 from XP (they were P3-866's with 128MB RAM and shitloads of spyware).
Ah. So, are the inputs both VGA or DVI, or is one VGA and the other DVI? If it's 1 VGA/1 DVI, and your Matrox is a DVI card (I don't know if DVI was available then), then that explains it.

Thing is, it wasn't supersonic.
Shit, did I get it backwards?

Actually, that'd be a beta of Windows 3.0... not too much of a leg up!
No, it's 233 PII w/64MB RAM minimum, 300 PII w/128MB RAM recommended. BTW, I've seen benchmarks showing a P100 w/512MB running XP Pro, and THG said that they couldn't get anything meaningful out of a 486, but it was possible(!)
At least they're still distributing SE... BTW, the exact date is June 30, 2003 that they dropped all support.
I know it was a joke, but they're going to downgrade to a Commodore 64? I mean, not even a GUI, and it's not really POSIX compliant!

So does ME. ME is basically 98, with some of the enhancements off of 2000, and without access to MS-DOS mode. And less stability, of course...
My guess is it's got IE w/Java on the CD.
