Is this better? http://zr2.cs.ucla.edu/hf/bunny.jpg Do you want people to take what you say seriously or do you just want everyone to agree with everything you ever say? I asked a simple question ... how can everything be more complicated than usual?

How can everything be more complicated than usual? An inquisitive and "above average" mind would always seek to understand those oddities. There is reason in the madness ... many seemingly random things have perfectly reasonable explanations.

Dan, I am all for taking the guns away from the bad people ... but in the mean time, don't punish the regular guys.

Even in the city ... when you hold a gun in your hand, then you know how God must feel when he is holding a gun in his hands ... that's a little quote from our buddy Homer Simpson. I probably wouldn't apply to get a conealed carry permit even if they allowed it here in Wisconsin but I certainly don't mind having mine around at home. Even though I have nothing really that may be worth stealing, at least I'll be able to greet unwanted "guests" properly ... see the thing is, the bad guys are going to have guns ... regular people having guns just levels the playing field a bit.

I don't know Dan ... sleeping in a place like this ... http://zr2.cs.ucla.edu/Sip/gal/rubicon/thumbnails/DSCN3181.jpg.

Microsoft Windows Memory Diagnostic. I liked this little free utility a lot. Just boot to it using a floppy or the provided ISO CD image and it'll put your system RAM through various stress tests to see if your RAM is reliable or not.

Wait till after the wedding to let him know how you really feel

Jug, in the US stores, the S400 is around $450. That site Eve posted has an excellent price now But that's how it is with electronics ... the week after you buy things change a lot

As posted earlier in this thread http://www.isquaredinc.com for the S400 http://www.buy.com for the Compact Flast (UltraII)

OK now that the beep is gone, here's how I would proceed: 1) Go into BIOS and set very conserative settings i.e. Disable AGP 8x, AGP fast write, set memory and cpu clocks slow ... maybe half what they should be etc. 2) Boot to Win98 command prompt or dos and update your BIOS http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios...ail.php?UID=488 ... you should have version 1.3 3) WIth the new bios, set again to conservative settings (i.e. underclock it and disable fancy shmancy stuff ... set your RAM timings correctly ... I am guessing 8-3-3-3T unless you know otherwise) 4) Boot from a windows CD and install on a FRESH hard disk 5) You may need 3rd party drivers for your IDE, let me know if you need help with how to do that while windows is trying to setup (you have to tell it to load the drivers in setup) 6) After windows is installed ... update ALL drivers to the latest versions ... do NOT touch your CDs ... get straight off the web... install each driver a couple of times. 7) Once all the basic hardware seem to be ok and up to date then go to step 8. Otherwise go back to step 3 and try to play around with it. 8) Do windows update ... install all criticical ones 9) Go to http://www.futuremark.com/ ... get 3dmark2003 and install it (free version) 10) let 3d mark run it's tests ... if it crashes, your system is unstable. If it runs fine you are set 11) Go back to Bios and set settings to what they should be .... regular clock rates etc. I'd suggest still not getting too crazy with the fancy stuff. Leave AGP 8x and fast write off for now. Leave system timing optimal and not too aggressive. 12) Go back and re-run 3dmark .. a few times ... make sure your system is totally stable ... maybe leave it overnight After all is good ... THEN go ahead and start adding peripherals and install other junk on it. Note that on my new PC, I had to underclock the external bus from 200 Mhz to 198 Mhz so I have 396Mhz for FSB ... I used a multiplier of 11 for CPU so that's 2178 Mhz instead of the full 2200 Mhz you can do with the AMD 3200+. That made it totally stable.

Yesterday I made this killer dish with two cans of chilli, some frozen tater tots, grilled chicken breast, and a lot of cheese ... you want the directions? Just throw them all together, heat, and enjoy.

What was it Sasun?

That's blaspheme ... Armenians were the first to introduce MRI in the world

Don't worry .. I think elephants are affraid of anonymice.

interestingly enough, that question has NEVER crossed my mind.

Yah ... so we abort a few Hawkings here and there ... there will always be exceptions but we can't just sit here with our thumbs up our arses hoping that every kid with severe birth defects is going to turn out to be a steven hawking. I also read about this lady that put a quarter in the machine in Vegas and won 9 Million the other day ... but you don't see me running down there to stick my hard earned cash into those machines. The point is, we can sit and wonder and wait for "luck" ... but I think things will go much better if we play the odds right

The child doesn't have a perspective. It's too stupid to have a perspective. You take it out of the womb and set it on a table ... if it can survive on it's own for more than a few minutes, then it has a right to have it's own perspective. Other than that, it's the choice of the person who is going to take care of AND fit the bill for that pile of goo. If that kid is going to be born and be a drain on the society and the medical and welfare system that I also have to pay for through my taxes and what not, then I say put the poor thing to rest and try again. Babies are dime-a-dosen .... Worthwhile humans are much more rare to find.

How is a lie, jug? How is it a lie? Or I should say WAS ... Because after all ... WHAT Iraqi regime?

Booooooooooooooooo on the lies ... that is just ignorant anti-US propaganda ... For example "The iraqi regime is a threat to Americans" was definitely not a lie. LMAO on the stupid quotes!!! Boy does he have some STUPID stupid quotes under his belt I just can't believe how he got elected http://64.21.83.54/forum/style_images/1/icon8.gif

I agree with Vava but fully disagree with Azat.

Motherboard, CPU, RAM and settings ... check ATX Case connections ... check Internal multiple case fan regulator ... check Radon 9600XT video card ... check Serial ATA Drive and cables ... check DVD drive ... check DVD Boot image for multiple windows OS's ... check Firewire connections ... check USB connections ... check Floppy drive ... who needs'em ... hahaha ... DUMB ASS Sometimes when you think you have everything to get your fresh PC's heart beating and going, you realize you can't find a single 3.5" floppy disk in your entire house ... at least I had a USB floppy drive ... found a disk in the little compartment of my surge protector that's probably been there since mid 90's ... it said Redhat 5.0 on it!!!! Finally ... it's ALIVE

A-r-p-a ?

Maybe instead of master/slave they should call the devices Boss and Cotton Picker What a bunch of bozos.

Was hitler against feminism?
