  9. Re:Well... on Microsoft to Charge for FAT File System · · Score: 1

    fdisk does weird shit after about 80G i've found. it will create the partitions ok, but report that they are 234.7TB in size. DOS (win32 version) format also misreports the size on anything over 60G but does actually format correctly - all partitions and disks show up once a version of windows is installed.

  15. Re:Why? on Windows 95 in 4.47MB · · Score: 1

    there's a 'who wants to be a millionaire' quiz machine in my local pub that runs win95 - i only know this because it's currently broken, and when it boots it does the BIOS check (some sort of award motherboard) displays the win95 splash screen, then tries to load the game from cdrom and fails. quite funny really.
    though i can't see why they chose 95 over 98, both had been around for a couple of years before the gameshow ...

    'The P.W.B. Quantum Clip is specifically designed to produce an energy pattern that is neutral and in a state of equilibrium. The crocodile clip is under tension at all times and we have applied techniques that equalise the mechanical pressure variations. This results in an energy pattern which is in a high state of gravitational energy equilibrium. Attached to the clip is a specially twisted, multi-strand combination of copper and the pattern of the twisted copper is such that a high degree of energy control is exercised. Copper has a very distinctive energy resonant pattern and when the clip is attached to another object which contains a quantity of copper, the Quantum Clip will exercise a high degree of control, via the copper, over the object to which it is attached. Removing the clip will release the object from a high state of quantum equilibrium and return it to the form of energy pattern that is incompatible with the human senses. The P.W.B. Quantum Clip contains a very special feature that allows, within a broad range of normal conditions, a permanent change of state to occur within suitable objects to which it is attached.'

    quite!

  20. Re:Sam's(or Costco) is your answer. on Color Printing Without the Inkjet Mess? · · Score: 1

    i'd advise against buying the minolta or any of it's rebranded cousins. i look after (amongst other things) the printers and network where i work - we have 30+ B+W HP printers 4100 etc, 8 HP 4600 (very good, no complaints here) and a small selection of other colour 'lasers' - a few Tektronix Phasers that use what appears to be lumps of crayon, great print quality but takes about 5 hours to warm up ... and 4 Minolta Magicolor 3100's. ugh. they do ship with a 10/100 interface, but thats about it. they just don't seem to like being on a novell network and the client drivers are flakey to say the least.

    it's a shame, 'cos the print quality is very good, it's just a battle of wits to actually get the data to the printer.
