I think it is a good idea. it will clear the clutter when we need help, (I humbly consider myself one to meet the criteria, dunno about you guys). Other than that i don't see much point

It looks like you have a HW problem. Have you tried restoring the bios to your DVD if you have saved it b4? I would check the jumper settings on your CD rom drive. make sure it is set to slave. I am supposing you do use IDE. oh and change your CDrW to Slave if set to Cable select.

Heard another one today. Guy plugs his phone line to the NIC (does not have amodem) and trys to connect to the internet. Of course NIC was fried as soon as a call came in

I AM NOT GETTING INTO THIS ONE!

My 6210 is complaining about No sim card and wants me to insert one when i get a call. I think it is trying to say it's last goodbyes to me in its own language. But i am dedicated to wait for 6610 http://www.nokia.com/phones/6610/index.html But mybe i should get a temporary one like 6310i, don't really like them but...

Cenk brags as follows: Hey i am 25, I own my own company, I can't be doing it wrong

Good point clutch. Also i would like to state the flagged msg's i pay attention to are not i miss you etc. It is about insider information. I do contracts in many places some of the dodgy like lebanon or arabia as i said before. Competition is fierce because amounts of money involved are unreal. I have to protect myself and i would rather do it covertly. i don't want my employees looking over their shoulder if they piss on the floor in the toilet by accident. $hit happens, i accept that and not hold them responsible. But i would like to prevent it happening deliberately, and cannot trust it upon a 1 hour max interview i had with a guy. There is such a thing as industrial espionage. i am not a defense contractor or such but even a quote we gave can have massive effects on a contract bid if it ever got out. Not everybody has the same ethics we do. You will make a mistake if you think so. I would like to trust my employees from the trainees to the Tech majors (I give them sort of military rank to keep them motivated with advances and reprimads and all.) but i can't. Hell, i don't even trust my own uncle or father in that sense. Not they will do something deliberate but accidents do happen. I know u are going to say i am paranoid alecstaar but remember; Even paranoids have enemies sometimes!

Quote: i would switch sound cards to see if one is bad it happens Done that! Had 3 to play with. 3 out of the box cant be bad... It is against even the murphys law.

Quote: If you ever have to do presentation at the office etc. or for client? SUPER-HANDY! And, 'techie' looking... how I learned about them in fact. * I use mine to lay on couch & play Quake III Arena "remotely"... it's a BIT 'inaccurate' in gaming (less sharp/crisp) than TRUE mouse on the RF one, but works! I also utilize it as a Remote Control for watching WinTV32 in bed as well or DVD too. They can be handy! APK Yes we do have meetings in the office, i keep soem handy to give as a present to the big fishy's. Who said bribery is immoral this is business

It was also my attempt to delete the creative driver files but the bloody windows keeps restoring them.... Anyway we have delivered it since they need the machine urgently. it is going to come back in a month or so for the problem.

Quote: [/b] Honestly, if doing NT oldstyle Domain ones is anything or working with NDS from Novell? You'd grasp it in a flash on that part! Well, not in a flash, but I bet you would quick. [/b] You must reprimand that tech... make him run cable thru ducts he has to crawl thru, lol... * GOOD REPLY! APK First that tech is at the moment in Saudi Arabia, running fiber in a ISP project. Then he is moving to lebenon. in total it makes about a month. And I have canceled his weekends in the civilized world so he has to stay there all the time. That should be punishment enough. If he wants to he can buy his own tickets to come back. It is 60 degrees in arabia and not a drop of cold beer or anything alcholoc For the other thing we do NT networks all the time. And as further as i got, i have not seen any difference between xp and 2k apart from the screwed up interface They are both stable OS's but XP needs 2 service packs at least in my opinion. Or maybe MS will create a miracle and do it in one SP but i doubt it BTW: About the Tech, I know i am mean. He was *****ing about it to his mum and girlfriend all week over the e-mails. But he did deserved it. And yes i do read their e-mails time to time and the ones containing certain business related word combinations are marked for my attention also...

Maybe scotland yard should do a security check on whoever buys a box of pringles.

Bought some new drives for the office server in Istanbul. Bought myself a LG 17" TFT for my new desk at the office. I have intention to buy the new logitech wireless keyb/mouse. I already have wireless but those look fantastic... Hell i've got the $'s for it so! Oh apart from that our weekly OEM spending has way too much zero's in it. but we sell them off for more zero's in the end... One example would be, today we are getting 50 P4 2GHz 512KB's @ $190 each

Ahhh the same old user rights.... About XP @work, i can't comment i have not deployed it anything larger than 10 clients... About the user rights, well since i am not a resident admin and we manage a number of medium sized networks here is what happens if you don't restrict the users. First and with upmost urgency they have a tendency to install ICQ/ Gnutella and any other crap they can get their hands on and then complain their computer does not work properly (they can't say icq etc because that will get them fired) when we look at it they say this or that does not work of course it doesn't the ports are blocked. Then we get into how dare we restrict mr or mss blah blah... All those software which can vary from dictionarys to games or divx players just mess the system up. If a customer says, they don't want/need any restrictions or security the service agreement price immediately goes up %100. We explain what it is to the boss etc. And they agree. But they don't want to be restricted themselves, so we just keep a monthly ghost image of his system on the server for the next time he is going to screw up his machine... Another thing is, the users who say they don't know nothing does not scare me, the ones that had some how to use windows course and claim to be an advanced users does. Those are the doddgy ones since they cause the problem on the networks with putting their goddamn nose where it does not belong. Last week one of my techs forgot to log off the server while leaving the site. guess what a wise *** got in, and tryed to change the firewall/router config so he can surf **** sites. I can give you many more examples like this .

I couldn't find it yesterday!!! But i found the whole set of Twin Peaks; talk about freaky!

I sometimes wonder, if all those messages are going to survive on the net somehow and for how long? Wjat would an true AI make of all those in say 50 years or so. would it become addicted to those msg's like we do? Or what would people think of threads like favorite drink or would they think the pictures we put on that other thread are real???

Now i know what this is about. My congratulations jdulmage to be able to fire everyone up with something so non-sense...

Quote: I have someone to add to this mix: http://www.bluesnews.com/cgi-bin/board.pl?action=viewthread&threadid=36286 "eric clapton is god" I read the post for about 3-4 msg's. Why do you even bother with idiots like this. I just let them roam free, and natural selection takes care of the rest for me.

I feel like the weird nerdy kid which was left out of a secret in a birthday party.... *Uykucu withdraws to a corner and evaluates his life, after a while he makes a decision and starts to plot on how to kill the others with maximum pain to extract his revenge*

I will give it a go tomorrow, since i am heading for a nice underground party in istanbul in about 3 hours. Thx.

Anybody know a good and rich source of e-books? the legal ones (the ones you pay for) are really limited so it appears their reluctance is forcing us to piracy. I like a good read on my PDA, and carrying a full size book along with my mobiles (2) PDA, notebook, briefcase, car keys, home keys, office keys, Wallet, and god knows what is not a real option. I prefer the real books when possible but in a train or a plane???

That sound is your fan... It might be on your case, top of your CPU or the PSU. That specific fan has to be replaced since it is caused by worn bearings.

Yes low level formatting can help sometimes, but it can't help you recovering the data Otherwise i just don't bother with them. a single bad cluster will mean a nice shortcut to the Bin or Distributor for the drive. M4Carbine, an experience is better than 1000 warnings
