IBM Deskstar 60GXP 40 GB ATA/100 Hard Drive (7200 RPM; IC35L040AVER07-0) and I never had problems. I have had this HDD since 9/9/2001. I ran the utility to see if I need the firmware update, I do. I will try upgrading firmware to be safe after I make a back up and when I have more free time.
My office's machine former IBM HDD did die slowly (bad sectors).:(
Who else here still have a working old IBM GXP HDD without any problems?
I am surprised no one mentioned this one, cpuburn. It is a good CPU stress tester in Windows and Linux. Be sure to reading the warning because it can damage if your system doesn't have proper cooling.
Lev Andropov: Excuse me, but I think I know how to fix this. Watts: Move it! You don't know the components! Lev Andropov: [annoyed] Components. American components, Russian Components, ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!!!
This game is very cool. I wasn't expecting much, but wow. Did anyone figure out what the card thing do? I totally loved that Guardian level. I love how the whole map changes and being thrown in the air is fun! Weee!!! The demo is also long. I think I played it for two hours straight! Small demo size and a very long fun demo. Very impressive.
I don't think I will get the full version since it is a mindless shooting game and I have OTHER games to play, but it is fun like Serious Sam and DOOM games.
Will there be a multiplayer demo with co-op. soon?
Trailer wasn't that great. It is more like a teaser trailer (doesn't show King Kong, only his sound). I haven't seen the movie one yet and only getting 6 KB/sec.:(
I am pretty sure King Kong can't handle/. traffic himself.;) Here's the copy of the download page with links (Bittorrent too) for/. users:
Download The King Kong Movie
To play the DivX verisons you will need the latest Divx 5.1 bundle and at least an 800Mhz processor. Any earlier versions of divx might cause the player to lock up.
We reccomend the Normal Quality version for people on slow links or who want to see the movie quickly. To save it to your Hard drive right click on the file and select "save as" or "save link target as" and select a place to save the file.
You can grab the movie via various filesharing networks. We recomend Bittorrent as it is fast, easy to use and saves a lot of load on our servers.
You need to install the windows client from here. It intergrates into your browser so you can click the bittorrent link below.

Does this game support EAX in Linux on a machine with an SB Live! card? I am still using Red Hat Linux 7.2 system with Kernel 2.4.20 and emu10k1 drivers.
I usually play games in Windows because of better audio (EAX).

They are social insects and they work together (in the same family) in growing, foraging for food, etc. Ants do not have big brains, they are complex as a group. Ants socialize by chemical odors to attack, defend, forage for food, etc.
and take it out of the room. Do it in a study room or hallway. This would be a problem if you need to print something, especially with dot matrix (I had an IBM ProPrinter XL-24E?) during my college days). Do that in the morning, in the lab, or somewhere.
This might be off-topic. I can hear my Linksys WAP11 (802.11b) during heavy file transfers with my bone conduction hearing aid when I am in close range. It is the same type of interferences that I get if I am near radio stations or cellular phones. I believe this situation is going to get worse. I love wireless, but there are conflicts.
"The release will be a 4-disc set, encompassing 3 movie discs and a 4th bonus disc of supplemental material. All three films will be digitally-remastered and THX-certified, and will be available in anamorphic widescreen video (there MAY also be a separate full frame edition, but this is still TBD). The audio for the films will be English Dolby Digital 5.1 (they may also be EX, although again this is still TBD), with subtitles in English, French and Spanish. The films will also be closed-captioned. Each film will include new audio commentary with creator George Lucas, along with various members of the cast and crew (the specific participants will be announced at a later date). The highlight of the bonus disc will be an all-new, feature-length documentary about the making of the films, which will include never-before-seen footage and other material. There may also be DVD-ROM weblinks to the official Star Wars website (TBD). There WILL be additional supplemental features, which will be announced at a later date. The films will only be available as a box set, the retail price for which has yet to be decided (despite reports to the contrary). I have officially confirmed that the films will be the 1997 Special Edition versions, as determined by Lucas himself. You should also know that, as with the Indiana Jones DVDs, the folks at Lowry Digital are once again involved in the remastering process. They're doing digital restoration and clean-up work on the new masters."
Dune 2 was the first RTS game I ever played in my life. It was before the first C&C game. I was still in high school when I played it on my IBM PS/2 30 286 (10 Mhz; 1 or 4 MB of RAM)?
I also bought Dune 2000 and Emperor: Battle for Dune. They were not great as the original game. Emperor was a better game than Dune 2000. Maybe EA Pacific (formerly Westwood Studios) should stop making Dune RTS games.:)
Yes, I loved the original Command & Conquer. It was titled Tiberian Dawn. I bought it from Egghead in 1995 with my college friends. I was a sophomore back and had a 486 DX2/66 then. Boy, did we get addicted! Modem play so often and we never did any studying.:)
Whatever happened to C&C:Twilight or something like that?

Watching documentaries on BBC, PBS, Discovery Channel, etc. are also good sources if you don't like reading.

Ah, thanks. I always thought the elephants were the ones sacred for Hindus.
Do Indians like cows or something?
Did anyone think the title said ABBA at first? It did for me when I just woke up! ;)

Yeah, Tiberian Sun was my least favorite game. I bought every C&C games (excluding the expansion except Zero Hours for C&C:G).
:)
Thanks for replying.
Yes, I loved the original Command & Conquer. It was titled Tiberian Dawn. I bought it from Egghead in 1995 with my college friends. I was a sophomore back and had a 486 DX2/66 then. Boy, did we get addicted! Modem play so often and we never did any studying. :)
