What are the card's and router's models and security settings?
-
Instead of putting multiple cards in a computer why not make a better single card?
Because the cost for a card that is equivalent to two current cards would rise exponentially.

I do have one, but I forgot what it was as I haven't used to for ages. I basically used it as a way to find new music, but it's "you'll probably like this too" system is quite obviously broken as half the songs I got were complete tripe.
Probably you did not have enough scrobbled tracks. You need something around a 1000+ to get decent recommendations. Well, the system worked for me rather well, at least.

I've written stuff in Pascal... It has its place.
Presently, this place is a grave.

I won't post my profile name, as I like to keep all my on-line identities separately, but instead I'll put in my tag cloud, excluding way too general tags like "electronic", or idiotic tags like "seen live" and "favorites". You can get one too!
P. S. I'm growing fond of last.fm.

The effect of converting a digital signal to analog and then back to digital (noise) is noticeable on an even background (like these forums).

No i can not replace or delete wininet.dll, that's the problem.
qwb,
Boot in safe mode. Or try using Process Explorer to kill the processes that hold the file.

one interesting difference is when installing nvidia video drivers. since kernel releases occur rather frequently (often with wildly incompatible changes), and nvidia does not release their source (at least, the last time i went through this they didn't), you have to rebuild the kernel with their "patch" in order to install drivers compatible with the kernel you're using (depending upon which driver you want to install and which kernel you currently have). of course, video drivers aren't that important for a server, so this is normally a non-issue.

That's why I love Ubuntu. Restricted modules package gets updated along with the kernel, so nothing breaks.

It is certainly true, especially for the web, that *nix wins hands-down, though; the major drawback is that you will need to know how to configure the security after updating the kernel to the latest version.
I would like to point out that building a custom kernel is rarely needed. In fact, it is often recommended to stick to default kernel version that is shipped with the distribution. Security updates are be distributed automatically by the distribution vendor.
I am not quite sure what exactly do you mean by "configure the security" when it comes to the kernel. If I get you correctly, this is also a non-issue. Kernel upgrades do not affect user-space programs settings, and the kernel itself needs little configuration.

How do they know there aren't any black holes there. I mean the color of black holes, the basic distinguishing color of black holes is... well black. The color of space, the basic space color is... also black.
So how the hell are we suppose to see them?
Not all emitted electromagnetic waves are observable.

I'm a Microsoft fan so any OS on my computer will be from Microsoft.
What is really sad is that you are so sure about MS server products because you do not know any better. What is even sadder is that you are not willing to change your position because you are "a fan".
Ultimately, bad decision.

And they, like all the other macpeople Ive ever met, are smug bastards who waste no time preaching about how superior their little tintoy is. Yet they dont really know anything about computers and always start crying and assume a fetal position at the sight of a text prompt.
Funny that all Mac people I have met (all are Computer Science students) are exact opposites of what you described here. Given your track record of Apple hate, what conclusion can be drawn here?

Some time in the future I plan on building a server. I am debating on what software to use, cost being an issue. I am debating between Windows 2000 server edition and Windows 2003 server edition. Win2000 I can find cheap be it used or new. The question is, is it still a decent OS to use now.
And Linux/*BSD is not even an option? I understand, it involves some learning curve for someone who have never used UNIX, but the documentation is abundant on the topic in question. Especially, if the cost is an issue.
Security of course is something important.OpenBSD, hands down. Some people though would find it more complicated than Linux (which is getting easier every year). Still, Linux is a good start too.
The main use of this server is to host my websites on it and a place to download files. I may have to install MySQL on it in case I decide to run a message board on it.LAMP is pretty easy to set up these days, you can't go wrong with Debian-based Linux distributions. Installation of MySQL and PHP is actually harder under Windows. All you have to do in Linux is to tick them in the package manager.
Is Win2000 still a valid OS to use or will I have to go for Win2003?My strong (and probably biased) advice is NEITHER, considering all the above and also the fact that Win2000 is no longer supported and Win2003 costs a bundle.

I have never played Oblivion, but this dialogue system sounds bad enough already. When was it confirmed officially?

"Nuclear catapult" is not technically implausible. The problem is that it just does not make sense in this game. Usually, you'd want to fire with something like that to a distance of a few kilometers, I don't see how this fits game scale and combat system. Handheld nuclear catapult is, however, incredibly cheesy. Not even Fallout-humor-type cheesy, just cheesy.

Doesn't have what I want to major in.
Actually, exactly like you, before the university I wanted to go in IT so badly, but I ended up in engineering.

The hell, Crytek 2.0 will eventually get ported to consoles, too.
Not to Linux however. That's why DirectX10 = fail.
LONG LIVE ID SOFTWARE!

Crytek > Id Tech 5
No, multi-platform support = insta win.

Safari is still in beta though, beware of security vulnerabilities.

If you have the time and the money, IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO DEVELOP YOUR OWN ENGINE!
...says the graphics engine programmer. I must say that's a very biased advice. Most developer teams will not have the expertise to develop a state-of-the-art engine. If you have time and money, license a better engine. A new one must be built only if it is more expensive to maintain any licensed technology.

The specified domain either does not exist or cannot be contacted.
Please try again or contact your system administrator.
I tried loggin on through safemode and it gives me the same error...any ideas? Ir'a XP Pro SP2, btw.
It looks like you configured Windows to be a part of the domain during the installation (as opposed to a workgroup), which needs a domain controller. Do you get a classic login window or XP's "welcome" window? If the former, there should be an option to login locally and not authenticate against the Active Directory (or whatever funky thing MS has at the time).

It is likely a bug in a visual representation of a wireless connection (lock icon or whatever), or maybe some funky WDS setup. It is hard to say without specifics. With the way it works, it is safe to say that you did not suddenly "crack" someone's wireless access point.
As a side note, I would not recommend connecting to unknown access points, that is, the ones you or your host did not set up, as they may be rogue.
