Honestly, I think that VIA is the bane of AMD's existance. If you want an AMD CPU, you're pretty much forced into a VIA chipset, which IMHO give AMD a bad name. Incompatibility issues, stability problems. It's a shame.
My Gravis Ultrasound PnP had a neat option for selecting the recording source. One of them was called "Master". This recorded whatever was being *played* by the Ultrasound. Sooooo... Select Master as recording input, play your encrypted audio, and bingo! You've got a.WAV of it to do what you want!
Kryotech makes computers which keep cool *inside* the case. The cooler the inside, the hotter the outside. It's just like your refridgerator... the coils on the outside get HOT.
Flash memory for temp storage would have no effect at all on mechanical disturbance.
First, the camera has to have at least enough flash memory to hold a picture before it's written to the CD. Second, if the camera is jarred during writing to the CD, if the laser is bumped off of track when writing, you're SOL, buffer or not!
I use mine only to sign up for anything online. Basically, all it ends up being is an online junk mail repository! (which I rarely ever bother to check)
I read your article, and I couldn't agree with you more! You hit the nail right on the head. I love the features of the AIW 128, but the driver support (and lack of non-Intel support) is HORRIBLE!!
As for your DVD issues, though. When I upgraded to a KX133-based motherboard, (Yes, non-intel to another non-intel), my DVD playback got messed up. (jerky picture, flicker). I tried PowerDVD, and the playback is better than ever! Give it a try.

You can (as with Netscape), refuse cookies not sent to the original server. Plus, you can edit a list of servers you flat-out refuse to accept cookies from. You can create a similar list to refuse loading images from servers, too. Check it out!
Really nothing that fantastic, but I put together a script to automatically download and install Mozilla on a Win32 system. Put this in your system scheduler to run every night, and you're ready for testing! This script assumes that it runs from c:\mozupd, and that Mozilla is installed in c:\program files\netscape\seamonkey
Cripes! Somebody please moderate that comment down.
This guy has the mentality of "Gee, Mozilla has bugs in it. . . why even bother trying it" Mozilla is a work in progress. See a problem with mozilla? Use Bugzilla to report it! Doesn't have a feature you would like to see? Use Bugzilla to report it! The future of Mozilla is in your hands!
I have contributed to Bugzilla on several occasions, and I think it's a great thing. It's a good feeling to be a part of something like this.
One of my favorite old demos is from a 64k contest. It's called Stash Anyone still owning a Gravis Ultrasound will enjoy this one! (no ultrasound = no sound, but still amazing)
L0phtCrack is a very important security auditing tool! I used it in my last position to determine the strength of the passwords (or lack thereof!) used by the users of our network.
Just sort of an eye-opener as to the state of our organization's security. . .
Don't get me wrong here. . . I'm very glad Cyrix is here. As we've learned from AMD, more competition = better products at better prices!
BUT, Cyrix has a habit of over-hyping products that seem to fall flat in the end. I was a 6x86 owner, since it was all I could afford at the time. The Cyrix name has been tarnished by chips with incompatibility and performance issues from the beginning.
The flaw crops up when 550-MHz Xeons, with either 512KB or 1MB of secondary cache memory, are used in an eight-processor server with a Saber motherboard, which was designed by Intel. The voltage from the processors in this scenario can exceed the recommended voltage limits and cause a server go to "blue screen," or crash, according to Pijkper.
Yes, I have found the DNS implementation in Netscape to be problematic.
If you have multiple netscapes open, one of them doing a DNS lookup can freeze up all the others until the lookup is finished.
Also, one way to almost for sure crash netscape... Type in the name of a non-existant web page. Before it finishes looking up the page, type in the name of a real web page and hit enter. CRASH!
Causation: the act or process of causing
Seemed pretty self-evident to me.
That all depends on what your definition of "fine" DVD playback is!
The higher the quality you want, the higher the strain on the CPU. For hardware-quality DVD playback, a K6-2 500 would be quite on the LOW end.
According to the website, if you're running Redhat 3.0.3 or later, you can do an upgrade.
The musicians are all in one spot. Broadcast to a location elsewhere in the world. Cripes.

Are there any more modern cards that do this?

Depends on if it's pre- or post-breast-implant, silly!
The URL above is taken from within a frameset. You link to it directly, and references to other frames don't work properly.
Silly.

The earlier ones were much better, IMHO -WD

Mozilla has a GREAT cookie management feature:

It's available for download HERE

I sure hope this gets fixed!!!
