Syncope

I keep getting random re-boots, about 1-3 a day. I haven't yet felt like taking the time and reformatting the drive, although my anger-level is pushing me towards that.

Can anyone tell me which is the file that stores my cookie handling rules In IE6--you know, the file where I input domains from which to block or allow cookies (found in Win2k under Internet Options>Privacy (tab)>Edit (button))? I would very much like to backup that file (have about 90 cookie blocks).

I think I'll overclock my WinChip this weekend. Maybe I can get it to 333.3333333333MHz, if I get lucky maybe to 333.3333333334MHz. That should really make a difference. Maybe I'll also swap that AMI BIOS for an 815i. If things work out I'll retrofit the whole rig with RDRAM, swap in some optical interlinks for the now wholly outdated 80-pin SCSI cable. The whole thing will become a FreeNet server, backed up by my OC192, which should come back from repairs this weekend (at least that’s what RadioShack promised). The following weekend I'll set up two motherboards in SLI mode--double performance for triple the price, I always say. Remember, the squeaky oil gets the wheel.

I don't think it's broken. It's supposed to expire. No need to fix it, if it does what it's designed to do.

In my opinion, MS is guilty as charged...which is a GOOD thing. It's more important for the U.S. on a global scale to have this monopoly, than to offer it up for grabs again. Breaking up MS to increase domestic competition is penny wise and pound foolish.

There's actually hardware that's supposed to be able to do this--a little "router" box that would identify the type of transmission. Having been in business for myself once, I remember coming across this in some research I did on cost-saving solutions. I don't remember, however, who made it. But now at least you know what to look for.

Eddie, you've posted three times in this thread. However, each post you made states that you have a total of 292 posts, instead of going up by increments of one. I smell a copyright infringment, and you are going to get sued by Sesame Street the next time their show is brought to us by the number 292.

You said there's no need to copyright the site, when, in fact, its actual existance already constitutes a copyright.

As soon as you put something in a tangible form, you have a copyright on it. Putting a copyright notice at the bottom of you page does not grant you additional rights--but you might want to do it anyway to "warn" the ill- or misinformed (such as EddiE314). In the "old" days people had the ability to make a copy of their work (um...as they owned the copyright), and send it to themselves via registered mail. Upon receipt of their own package, they wouldn't open it, but store it in a safe place and let the judge open it if necessary. In digital media, such verification us much more difficult. However, with PGP or a Verisign Digital Class 1 Personal Certificate ($15/year), you have the option of storing a copy of your work with an unalterable timestamp. You might want to make this copy an actual off-site backup.

Considering that Aureal just filed for Chaper 11 bankruptcy protection, that the entire executive staff has resigned, and that supposedly only 50 out of 200 employees are left at the "company," I'd consider it unlikely that we'll see finished drivers any time soon. There's also a rumor that Creative Labs is attempting to purchase Aureal. If true, it calls into question 1) the timeliness of new drivers, 2) the SQ3500, and 3) future Creative Labs sound cards as well (merging of technologies, etc.). As there are so many rumors and wild guesses flying around, I wouldn't believe any of them until an official announcement has been made on the future of Aureal. Nor would I hold my breath for new drivers.

Check here ( http://www.microsoft.com/products/hardware/sidewinder/downloads/default.htm , bottom of the page) for a software patch that affects some 3D Pros.

No offense haute, but how would you deduct in the first place that drivers made for NT4 weren't really made for Win2k? And Jerry, yes, NT4 drivers might actually be good for NT4. I'm sorry for sticking it to both of you guys as I don't know you (I abstain from flaming). It's just that I came in here to get some info, because I'm actually interested in these drivers (for my NT4 machine), and then I had to read your ridiculous observations.

Go into the game's directory, and start it from the .exe (something like Z_xvt_blahblahblah.exe). It'll work.

I believe the "memory" is dependent on which window is closed last.
