I stand corrected then. I didn't notice that a new version of the GTS had been released and after a bit more digging found AnandTech had done another review of them aswell. The benchmarks do put the G92 GTS ahead of the GT, but I still wouldn't find myself paying the $70 difference (via Newegg, cheapest GTS G92 vs cheapest GT) between the two for the performance gain the graphs show.
Good luck with the build either way. :mrgreen:
Edit: Corrected my price difference and link. I used the 256mb GT the first time :-#

Seems like you dont know what youre talking about?
He does know what he's talking about. The 8800GT is the better card. The GT is also slightly cheaper than the GTS.
If you're going to go telling people they don't know what they're talking about, you should at least know your facts.

Being 2 floors away, there won't be much you can do to improve the signal without moving the computer or the router. Adjusting the direction of the antenna so it's parallel to the floor way help but there's no guarantees.
The more common antenna types for wireless LANs have omni-directional and directional radiation patterns. Omni-directional antennas propagate RF signals in all directions equally on a horizontal plane (i.e., throughout the facility), but limit range on the vertical plane. This radiation pattern resembles that of a very large doughnut with the antenna at the center of the hole. -
So, seeing our pretty idea of an Index has suddenly come to a halt, I'd like to ask Admins (or anyone else that knows) whether a similar option is included in phpbb3.
It isn't. It would take some custom work to add, just like PhpBB2.

While I continue to wait for a response from Cruiser to my last post, I think someone needs the "riot act" read to them... :twisted: ...
I must have missed it.
I guess I might as well toss a question in then in an attempt to learn a little more...: How much additional server strain would there be, tracking hidden users and last online dates/times ??? :-kThat would be a question for Albosky to answer (if you can find him). I don't know anything about PhpBB3 internals at the moment so I could really say. It has a built in caching system (Albosky customized PhpBB2 with one for Tip.It) so that alone could help speed things up but you wouldn't really know until you get it installed and put load on it to find the problem areas.

100 or higher sounds like a better limit in my eyes. 30 posts can easily be breezed through in a day if you're feeling malicious enough to go through with it.

You need to be stabbed for trying to use a frame to perpetuate that myminicity crap. People spamming that on IRC and slashdot already is damn annoying and it sure as hell shouldn't go as far as embedding iframes into web pages... :evil:

Like what? Unless the rulebreaker uses another computer, the IP ban is the end of him. Usernames have nothing to do with it.
You obviously have no clue what a proxy or dynamic IP is then. It's trivially easy to change your IP and get around single IP bans if you have any idea what you're doing.

*Ahem.*
We currently have F-secure running on 3 computers. We have never had a problem, and F-secure has saved our computer at least 100 times (Remember, PCs are hacked within minutes of going online) and we have only had a problem with Norton Antivirus. Lovetofly, make sure you get your facts from a good source next time, and then, step 2, actually state them.
--clipped by cruiser--
I don't see how you talk about getting your "facts" from a good source, and say something like what I bolded in your post in the same post.
He's actually somewhat correct. Prior to XP SP2, Windows machines plugged into the internet without some kind of router or firewall between them and the outside world could literally be infected in minutes because of all the security holes. SP2 and later updates have made that a much smaller problem but that still doesn't mean you get to shoot him down just because you haven't experienced it. He is correct, just slightly late to the party.

You're missing closing
tags for each of yoursections. This is causing them to nest inside each other and stack up the 7px margin you have in the CSS file.[hide=Fixed code]

That's the difficulty that I'm having, I can't find where the updates are put.
You should be able to find the security updates in the Control Panels 'Add/Remove Programs' section. Check the box at the top that says 'show all programs' or 'show updates' (Its 2am and I can't remember exactly) and you should be able to find all the updates and hotfixes listed along with the other programs.
You should then be able to uninstall whatever updates were installed on that day and work from there installing them one by one to see which one broke the machine and if it was just a bad install.
(This is assuming you are running XP. I have no Vista experience)

It would be nice if all three of those links where on every page, however I think it's something coded into PhpBB 2 and it could be hard to change.
It's only a matter of changing the template files, which could be a real pain given the number of skins installed here. Each skin would require editing 2 or 3 (possibly more) pages to get those links at the top of every page you could view, and with 12 templates total, that's quite a bit of work to be doing over 3 links you can just click back to the index to find.

Hmm... why can't we just get rid of post count? It'd make life so much easier... :P
Do you want to try to convince Albosky to do that? :P
But seriously, if that was done the rank above your avvy would be blank. As long as the people who post are not spamming to raise their post count, meh, let them post. It doesn't hurt. If they were spamming, they'd be removed from tif. A win-win! :o :o
~Cow
Albosky was actually all for removing it but didn't because of the mass of idiots that would scream their brains out over a number when that huge 20 page thread started.
Just felt that needed a bit of correcting, since you thought Albosky would need convincing.

I would be looking up any process names inside svchost that are using a lot of CPU. Then you can google the names and track down whether you've found yourself a virus or if you have a malfunctioning piece of legit software.
My case was a driver for the TV tuner in my dad's machine going crazy and deciding to use 50% CPU all the time. We had never used the card so I just renamed the driver and rebooted so it'd no longer load. Can't use the card with the driver removed like that but it was no major loss because its never been used since he bought the machine.

Im from Finland and so is F-Secure, and i would just want to make a little statement; GET F-SECURE THE H*LL OFF YOUR COMPUTER AND GET SOME GOOD AND WORKING ANTIVIRUS/FIREWALL SOFTWARE!!!
Care to explain why?
-
First off, I would suggest uninstalling Norton completely to see if it actually is the problem. If uninstalling it doesn't fix the issues, then it's time to start running virus/spyware scans in Safe Mode (F8 on boot).
Svchost is a windows process that ends up running multiple services underneath it (such as networking, time, audio, ect) so it's best not to go just killing it off. If it's taking up a lot of CPU usage, it's going to be due to another piece of software that it's running (I had this problem with my dad's media center). You can use Process Explorer to break down what is running underneath svchost and track down the true problem (right click the process you want to look at, properties, threads tab).
And before all the AV fanboys jump in, the most recommended suites to look into will be:
AVG
F-Secure
TrendMirco
Nod32
Panda AV
Avast

They won't find out. The rule is there to make naive people allow their ads.
Besides, you're not doing it deliberately are you? so it's legal..
"You must not deliberately block or hide the adverts which appear above the free version of our game."
Installing NoScript is 'deliberately' blocking them. You made the choice to install NoScript, which is specifically made to block flash content and flash ads. You have made the choice to block them regardless of whether you acknowledge it was specifically for ads or not.
There really isn't any legal argument behind it. The data is on your machine at the time the page is rendered and you're free to manipulate that as you wish. Yes it can hurt ad revenue for websites and yes there is a moral boundary there for some people. If people wish to install it and block advertising, so be it, it isn't up to other people to make that decision for them.

I enjoy the edit ability... but at times, I wish it were disabled under situations. And I think the increased amount of users asking for staff to lock their threads needs to be cut back a little - should only happen if a thread is getting out of control, IMO.
I hate it when this happens in T&C. A thread gets answered and the OP either goes and edits the entire thing to 'fixed' or has a mod lock it (which is usually a global mod that has no part in T&C other than locking threads there). It's damn annoying when a thread gets locked after a 'fix' when there's still plenty of discussion that could go on about the problem posted. Disabling edits would be fine by me, but would be a bit extreme for some (who would then scream their head off). The best solution would be to implement changes in PhpBB that keeps a copy of the edited thread after the edit so you can see what was changed.

Go to a Best Buy and get in touch with the Geek Squad. See if they have any way to hack open the device and access the information on it somehow. After that, you will need to get a new one anyways.
Geek Squad is a rip off and more likely than not won't have any clue how to recover data beyond plugging it into a machine and using a point and click utility your neighborhood geek could use.
For the OP:
Did you do *anything* to the machine before you noticed the drive not working? Is it making any clicking noises or noises it didn't make before? After you back up all your files to another place I'd run checkdisc on the drive to see if it can track down any errors as well.

Reading the bbcode help could have told you.

His current sig actually exceeds the limits by some 80 pixels in height already (as do many people's sigs around here, but nobody seems to care). If he wants to add that badge and still be anywhere within the limit, the red sig has to get smaller and the text underneath it had to go completely.
-
My question now is how do I do the same thing on my newer computer? Is there a way to re-enable onboard after it shuts it down?
There should be an option somewhere in the bios to enable/disable the onboard video and chooce which source to use. It may not allow you to use both at the same time though.

If all he's doing is RS and internet stuff, throwing one of these in the PCI x16 slot is cheaper. If you're still running a mobo with AGP, you can get by a bit cheaper still with a bit of digging.
-
The only time RS ever users more than 5kb/s is when it's updating files at loading. Once you log in, 99% of the time it is using less than 1kb/s with the occasional [bleep]e to 3 or 4. The only way RS could come even remotely close to bringing down your home network is if it was older than your dad's CS degree, and even then, it's an extremely long shot.
I'd be looking into your network equipment (testing it for failures), how it's set up and would be scanning everything on the network with the customary AV and spyware tools. Work your way through the network, one by one, testing each machine and connection till you find the problem.

PhpBB has had that forever. PhpBB2 stores it in a cookie, PhpBB3 stores it in the DB. :?
