No, unfortunately I built it at work using trash server parts so... it stayed at my last place of employment.

Actually it looks like you can buy it and get it shipped to yourself for probably less cost and hassle than I could get it for you.

There is a city north of here that makes cane sugar Dr.P all of the time, I will have a friend pick it up on the way down here. How much you want / where you want it shipped to?

Yeah, I like the taste of the throwback MD - hopefully it stays around for a while.

Take them apart and make art out of them or make something unusual. The last set of old HDD's I had I used some epoxy and the faceplate of a server to make a shelf for my monitor to sit on :-D

Retro is not listing me as a paid GC member (i.e. I connect and it says remaining slots are reserved for GC members) (I am paid till 09/2010)

Steam ID: 0:0:5646782

So, I totally jacked the gcftw.com idea and bought txftw.com to try and create an in real life gamer community in the Austin/San Antonio area. Just wanted to let you know it was me biting your style (like you will ever hear about my site anyways).

I downloaded a map and installed it manually, after I was in everything seems to be working fine. Odd.

When I try to connect to the gcftw.com server for CS:S I get an error that says the server is enforcing consistency for file : map_name.bsp

It is custom map night so I am assuming it is because I don't have the custom maps but shouldn't they be download automatically?

We should start a thread dedicated to GC related pictures in all kinds of random places and situations. Could be viral.

You may find this useful in your defense...

This is why I strongly support spanking and the like. I got my donkey whooped when I was a kid, pain teaches lessons when used properly. People today are to afraid to do what is needed.

I have used buy.com with great success but really, I was expecting there to be a difference in the cameras. I know that different lenses cost hundreds of dollars and what not. I was curious what the difference was since I wasn't seeing it. Just trying to learn a little, not start a fight.

Am I missing some difference between these cameras or is a new one only 60 dollars more than her asking price? (serious question, not just being a punk)

and a normal refurb is 60 dollars less?

So far, the download from Microsoft has gotten to 99% and no farther, I have stopped and restarted many times, but it doesn't totally finish...so maybe I won't be loading Win7 this weekend >

 

 

I can tell you that download managers seem to time out a lot when downloading this and the Microsoft link fails each and every time as well after about 300MB. I just synced the files to my Dropbox so I can grab them again if I need them. The process of getting them is annoying and there were too many inconsistencies with the torrent sizes for me to trust them.

 

I will say that my Dual Xeon system did not like Windows 7 or vise versa. It would install and then I would get a hal.dll missing error. Very odd. I might also have a bad Hard Drive.

Fresh install, or upgrade install getting the hal error?

For Handbreak and RealVNC, did you install them as an administrator and are you running them as an administrator? Anything in the event log when running them? Any error messages?

I believe that in Vista Aeroglass was an additional process so it took resources to run it, and in Windows 7 it is a native kernel feature. I will check with MS to confirm (probably know in a day or so). If that is the case then running classic mode would mean all it is doing is wrapping a classic UI over aeroglass so you wouldn't be getting anything performance wise.

Lots of things sound gross when you realize how they are made.... you like hot dogs?

I use the pro drop box the 50GB to sync my truecrypt "file cabinets" and then I use live mesh to sync my windows mobile phone to my drop box folder. So when I take a picture or video on my phone it automatically sync's to my PC and then to drop box and I have a public link for it. Pretty slick.

Primus, anything that doesn't work automatically try right clicking and selecting run as administrator. So, if a game launches punk buster, launch the game as admin etc... It might work.

Also I gotta figure out how to get my quick launch back

That's what I was thinking, guess I could start using icons on the desktop...The thing is, if I'm actually using the computer I never see the desktop.

What I do is put the icons on the desktop that I want, then enable the "Desktop" toolbar. It creates a drop down menu of all your desktop icons. Much more space efficient and useful. Give it a try.

when you first make it, it will be on the right and won't look very good. If you drag it to the left it will snap beside the start button, then you shrink it up and it looks good. Here is a picture of my desktop....

I am taking my weekly fat pictures starting today, hopefully seeing them will inspire me to get right.

well, I downloaded it and replaced my XP build. I immediately set it to the classic view.. Other than some UI changes, I see not noticable difference between this and XP. The only plus I can think of so far is that it can see more than 3.5 gigs of ram...

 

a side note: I'm a minimalist and power user, so I care less about nifty little tricks and cool UI options. But whatever, I guess it's time to jump on the bandwagon.... and there is also the immediate pain in the rear of asking me if I'm sure I want to run everything. This is great for noobs, but not for professionals.. Also I gotta figure out how to get my quick launch back

I would really suggest not doing that. Eventually classic view is no longer being supported and by doing so you are essentially disabling all of the new features.
