  2. Re:House of a thousand Corpses on What's the Worst Movie You've Ever Seen? · · Score: 1

    I think if I had known it was supposed to be "fromage" I would have probably watched more but it turned me off of it instead. Plus although the cinematography was "different" I found it annoying at points.

  3. House of a thousand Corpses on What's the Worst Movie You've Ever Seen? · · Score: 1

    Bad acting and I could only watch about 15 minutes of it before turning it off.
    Is there anyone who did like it and why?

    Sure there is get the evil app to run and then have it check for existing window asking if said application is allowed to access the network and say yes. If the user blinks he'll never know.

    I haven't had a problem either. However a guy I work with can't do it. He has a P4P800 based motherboard and he is getting a BSOD with AGP400.sys file everytime he boots. He even rebuilt from scratch and was still getting it. Sounds like others are having this as well.

  6. Re:Crippled WindowsOS: A big plus for Mozilla! on More Details on Cut-Rate Windows OS For Asia · · Score: 1

    I think you are asking the wrong question. I think the question should be:

    Does Microsoft exempt IE, Outlook Express and Windows Messenger as applications that count towards the limit? I suspect that they won't be counted.

  7. Re:Many will find this insulting. on More Details on Cut-Rate Windows OS For Asia · · Score: 1

    But why would you want a Web server to be a Domain controller? It is designed to be a Web server. Microsoft has never mislead people to think that the Web Edition as well as the Advanced,Enterprise and DataCenter versions were something they weren't. Under your argument if you don't buy DataCenter then you are buying a crippled version of Windows since it doesn't support the amount of CPUs nor the memory support as datacenter.

    :)

    I was lucky in that I had previously worked for a bunch of sleeze ip lawyers. Fortunately there was a great one who shortly after I left also started his own company with another lawyer. When I told him about the situation he gave me some advice and was nice enough to write up a letter. It was funny how they were threatening before the letter but summarily dropped it afterwards and started to repair burnt bridges.

    Canada too. I went through this at one point where I was working for a contracting company and decided to move to another. First tried to scare me out of it but I lawyered up. They dropped it.

  14. Re:Sure, RAID 0 is great for data loss! on Raid 0: Blessing or hype? · · Score: 1

    The place I work at has had it several times where more than one drive goes. We have clients that are located worldwide in hot dusty locations. Anyways they all had the same servers with the same harddrives in Hardware Raid 5 arrays, they were all purchased at the same time so it's not surprising. funny thing is that out of about 6 sites 2 of them had a 2 drive failure. In one case two drives went at once and the other during the rebuild. Had to ship fast the replacement drives which in one of the cases was a little difficult as the airport was not exactly a frequented location.

    Site built a spare server out of a workstation to limp along until the drive arrived.

    I believe anything SATA in general needs the "Hit F6 select Raid Drivers" right now. I have loaded XP on two motherboards with SATA and this was needed for both.

    My previous laptop was an A31P which I loved except for the miserable 1.75 hours available from the battery. There was no wireless on it. I suspect the 1600x1200 resolution lcd was the hog on it. But it was also a heavy mother.

    I have one for work and I get about 4.5 hours on Battery. The thing is there seems to be something in common with most of these types of laptops.
    1. You can't have a cdrom and floppy in at the same time.
    2. the resolution maxes out at 1024x768 without using an external monitor.

    SP2 turns off the Messenger and alert service so they would need to rely on different methods.
