Hi folks this is just a courtest note to thank you for your advice a few weeks back. I took the PSU back and they refunded my money and seemed genuinely surprised that the PSU didn't work. I ordered a Antec 380W PSU from ebay for $10 less and I'm typing on my machine as we speak. It was a great thin...
My brother in law and I discovered that the new power supply does not provide -5V on Pin 20 (the white lead). The lead is not present. Is it likely that this is the problem? Modern-ish (as in made in the past 10+ years) motherboards don't use the -5V rail. While your motherboard is old, it isn't th...
[quote="DPete27"]I hate to say it (because I agree it's probably the PSU to blame), but you might want to think about an upgrade. Even something like a G4560 for A$90 , mobo w/ 4 RAM slots for A$105 , and 8GB RAM for A$170 is going to blow that old system out of the water. [\quote] I had c...
My brother in law and I discovered that the new power supply does not provide -5V on Pin 20 (the white lead). The lead is not present. Is it likely that this is the problem? I can certainly take the PSU back. I only bought it yesterday and have a receipt. The reason I do not want to continue running...
Hi All Wow.. I haven't logged in here for years. But it was the second place I'm trying after ASUS support seems oddly tied down. A few kids, changing jobs, and a very stable PC for the longest time (8 years) have meant i didn't keep up my TR appearances. How is everyone? So remember that stable PC ...
Find new software, XP really sucks in pretty much every day-to-day way. It's a MASSIVE change in performance. Whatever software you're using, find something else, it beats using a DECADE old OS. Been using XP on my work machine since 2004. Why would i go and find a new version of some software that...
Thanks for having this conversation guys. I was having the exact same problem but didn't realise. I bought a Dell XPS xxxx with a 6670. No DisplayPort, but a DVI, VGA and HDMI. Any two screens would work but I couldn't never get the third up simultaneously. I read the bit about needing to use Displa...
yeah way to go guys. We're talking about this guys wife and all you can think of is stupid sexual jokes. Grow up, or go find a forum for 12 y.o's edit: sorry, just realised, some of you might actually *be* 12.. I hope you weren't insulted by the fact that I think a 12 y.o has precious little tact, r...
Did you accidently get those mixed up? If not, then I definitely missed some important information about why the 5870 is potentially better than the 6870. please explain.
So long story short, "wide links = yes" doesn't work anymore since some version of Samba, unless "unix extensions = no" is declared as well. Woot mate (Aussie for Woot!).. axeman, you are the biggest baddest Linux guru!! I read up on some angry users trying to resolve their samb...
That should work, but there is something at work here that has to do with a security flaw in Samba, try this: follow symlinks = yes wide links = yes unix extensions = no That's what I have. The "wide links" parameter allows accessing files outside the structure already shared with samba. ...
Hi everyone got a Samba issue here. I have been using SWAT and the builtin SuSE 11.1 Samba setup (via yast) to get my Samba shares working. I have a user 'matt' on the server which I login as just for security. (don't want a share pointing at some important directory) and the samba login only gets p...
I did find something odd: it appears that you're double-checking the user/pw through mysql *after* they authenticated? Isn't it redundant, or am I missing something? perhaps $db_username and $db_password are a fixed set (maybe root and ??? ) that will let the script access mysql to check the userna...
http://www.sc2mod.com/board/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=77, the memory limit for scripts is no secret. It really puts a damper on the editor's potential. The "fix" will likely require a "fee" like the other extra features that Blizzard-Activision kept hinting at. This stu...
Been 5 weeks so far and its now a full beard. Started along the lines of I wonder how long this can go before I get pissed off and shave it. So far I've learned that mustaches are prickly and get in the way. This thing has got to go soon.[/quote] It only takes me 3 days to get so annoyed that I wan...
Trade-off: 1 pillow vs 2 pillows on a single-sized bed. 1 pillow is not enough to cover the entire length of the mattress which causes me to wake up with my head flat on the mattress. Two pillows however, are far too much for the mattress and you are stuck with this obnoxious overlapped hill of pil...
I am not fooled by the "pew-pew, pretty lights". The graphics reek WC3 w/DX9 level effects. Haven't played it, so can't comment on campaign.. but I hope there's not too many people "fooled" by your grumpy bashing of the game. There's nothing really wrong with enhancing (rather t...
hey people I let my beard grow for 10 days or so, and decided that instead of wasting all that hard-work, I'd just shave off the edges and call it an intentional beard. Now I know that typically this is a -10 points move in terms of prickliness and scores from the wife are in the -1million range. bu...
What does a Fluke multimeter do for $200 that a standard multimeter doesn't do for $10-$20? This is a genuine question, given the dramatic difference in cost between Fluke and everything else. It's a very hard point to argue that its worth the money. Certainly they are better in some ways. I haven'...
I'd have a pretty hard time getting excited about a GTX 480. It uses more power under load than a 5970 (although given the price, it's not like I want a 5970 either). It seems Nvidia is basically focusing on HPC applications, I'd like to hear how a gamer could justify a Fermi without being a fanboy...
well I guess we'll find out - did you wake up this morning? Well, no response so far. We moving onto taking bets? :lol: He posted a couple days later, just not to this thread: http://techreport.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=68431&p=1027653#p1027653 $5 says he died 12 hours later, and the F...
All I know is switching from VHDL coding to C# to assembly and back really makes my head hurt. Something about the different mentalities makes throwing VHDL into the mix an almost impossible task for me. One or the other at a time, not both. Oh, lets try to toss a little board layout in there too. ...
I liked both of them. Did you like National Treasure? What kind of movies do you normally like? They definitely weren't incredible feats of story-telling, but I enjoyed both.. and in PoP's case, I saw it again coz I liked it so much.
Heh... if you'd witnessed first-hand the series of events which led to the creation of this project (and me being asked to do some of the FPGA work) you probably wouldn't think so! :lol: But, at the end of the day I still get to learn something new and interesting so overall I'd say it is a net pos...
Actually - does anyone know if lottery and trading follows whenever the finals conclude, or is there a fixed date? Lottery picks were set on 5/18/2010. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_NBA_Draft sorry, I don't mean the lottery draw.. I should have said "draft" - that's what i meant? the ...
what is truly awesome about this - is that they've gone in house to develop something when their resource (JBI) obviously couldn't do it, but they knew he eventually could do it. that's a great employer. I've hacked in some VHDL before. It was truly messy :) .. if you want to relate it to programmin...
