| Why Hitler is a Hero Daniel Joseph Min 23:36:52 |
| | Hitler was a leader who emulated divine love and we ought to go dig up
his corpse and clone him. He fought for the preservation of human
purity. We need to put dozens of Hitlers in charge of every nation on
the face of the earth so he can move forward and sweep the mud-tainted
scum off the face of this planet.
Everywhere you turn you've got primates, pansies, and other perverted
riff-raff screaming for their rights. Why the hell would we cast
pearls before swine, all they want to do is fornicate and sell each
other crack. Not on my watch, the hell with all of them.

| Jabra 250/Belkin/Skype Dave At K2computers 08:56:47 |
| | On a Windows 2000 pc I have Skype, and use a Jabra 250v connecting
through a Belkin F8T008 USB dongle.
It all works apart from one annoying problem. If the headset is in
Standby mode then nothing happens when I make a call, or for an
incoming call. I have to go into My Bluetooth places and manually
connect. I can leave the headset in Active mode but that eats the
battery.
I would like it so that the headset goes from Standby to Active when
needed, and drops back to Standby when no longer required.
Can this be done ?

Video Card Question!!  B0omstICK 13:05:50 |
| | Hey Guys and Gals!!
Question for yall, I have an HP Pavilion a1110n desktop, got it last year in september. I use it primarily for gaming and Call of Duty 2 is the game of choice. Because of the high graphic demands of this particular game and most of the newer games these days I ran out and picked up a new card. I got the BFG GeForce FX 5500 O/C pci, only because I was stunned to find that my motherboard only had 3 pci slots!! However, I am not a huge computer buff and only know enough about them to get me by. How is it possible that a computer, regardless of the brand name, has not setup there systems so that they can be upgraded? Why would they not put in an AGP slot or if not that at least a PCI-E slot, Which I might add I have seen the setup for somewhere, either in the BIOS or within windows hardware/device manager. For some reason if when I check system specs on the computer itself, opposed to what it says in the specs listed in the manual, it says that it has detected a Pci-e slot and 2 pci. I could only think that maybe the graphics card that I installed has something to do with this. I guess to make a long story short, I would love to believe that my board does have a pci-e slot as this would be a great chance for me to go out and but a "REAL" card.
Thanks everyone |

| Video Card/Mobo compatability issue OR "A Tale of Two Notches" Rob 02:13:50 |
| | I bought a NOS Mobo (ECS- Elitegroup P4ITA2) for an old P4 my buddy
gave me. I am gutting an old Athlon system I have to use for parts for
the P4 system. In the AMD box there was a seemingly usable video card:
an NVIDIA Riva TNT2 (maybe a M64?), I believe 16 MB. It's hard to
tell b/c it's a COMPAQ part made by Nvidia...you know.
So anyway: the new Mobo says I MUST use a 1.5V video card. After
looking online I saw that if the card has 2 notches it is 1.5V,
however I ran across a post saying this rule is *usually* correct
except in cases of TNT2 and another card. The card has the 1.5V
tell-tale 2 notches.
A sticker on one side of the card reads:
I.T.E Accessory
180-p0009-000-c00-8,-16
E204896
+3.3Vdc@2.7A, +5Vdc@100mA
TWMIC001
Which leads me to believe this is indeed a 3.3V card. Does anyone have
the correct info on this card?!?!
Just in case you need it:
the part number is: 316903600002-ROB
There is another serial below that: PWA-G4000PRO/GRAPHIC CARD
Please help me out if you can & Thanks ahead of time,
Rob in NJ

| Total Failure Nik Diablo 10:57:36 |
| | Hi
I suddenly had a "mouse freeze" on me. The whole PC locked up and I
rebooted, to Nothing!
I have a 8m old p4 3.2 with 512MB Ram, Win Xp Home SP2, 200MB MAXTOR (Yes
Maxtor..I know what you're thinking) Hard Drive that has been making a
Grating sound for about a week. It's a Diamond Plus 9, SATA and I'm assuming
it's this that has "Gone". Also NVidia 256mb FX5700 AGP graphics.
When I reboot I get all the fans, power to the mobo etc, but no signal at
all to the Viewsonic VE710b monitor. The H/D light comes on (Constant light,
not flickering) for about a minute, then switches off. I get NO bootup
screen or anything. Is this the H/D, MoBo, Memory or what? Any ideas Greatly
appreciated.
Nik

| Dialing Problem - Netzero Jim T . 01:50:27 |
| | I maintain a NetZero free dialup subscription just in case ---
I can dial up OK from my laptop connected to my phone line and get a
good connection. I can then access Comcast for mail, etc.
Trying to do the same from my Desktop with what I think is the same
setup I get a message "Can't start dialing" Not sure if its from XP or
Netzero.
Using the Windows dialer to call any number it works OK, so line is
connected and ports etc must be OK. Assume some incompatibility
between the modem (Dell on MB) and the NetZero dialer. XP claims
drivers are OK and modem checks out.
Will welcome any and all suggestions.

| Recovering Lost Data From A Corrupted HDD - findpart David 14:11:15 |
| | Hi all, & Svend Olaf if you are out there... ;)
/STARTINTRO - Non technical background dribble paragraph here...
I am trying to recover some data from a corrupted Western Digital
120GB HDD that I have been using with my "trusty" old Abit BP6
motherboard. For those of you that aren't aware this 8+ year old
machine uses the Highpoint HPT366 chipset that brings & enables the
"amazingly fast" (well it was for its time) ATA-66 technology.
However, apparently, there have been may reports of these disk
controllers failing. I suppose after 8 years of service, many
computer components will fail. 
After 8 years of faithful service, my HDD controller decided to "join
the team" & along the way it also very quickly managed to corrupt a
large amount of data on my HDD. Yes, I do backups, but unfortunately,
not regularly enough.
After failing to boot, I decided to see what was wrong... here follows
the techical bit...
/ENDINTRO
I ran Svend Olaf's findpart utility first on my corrupted NTFS 120GB
dynamic disk - drive (number 2)
-- findpart 2
Disk: 2 Cylinders: 14593 Heads: 255 Sectors: 63 MB: 114470

OK
No FATs found.
There were sectors, which could not be read.
First read error in this search CHS: 5432 0 33
Last read error in this search CHS: 5432 0 33
Partitions according to partition tables on second harddisk:

OK
0 2 42234420480 16065 7 14592* 0 1 14592*254 63
OK
****************************************************************************
I didn't like the look of the message above telling me that there were
"sectors that could not be read", so I thought I would try to see how
much (MB) of files could be by running the following both in DOS mode
& in Windows - to be sure there was not any Windows driver issues
-- findntfs 2 summary
FindNTFS, version 1.54.

****************************************************************************
This was also not good to see. Only 12647 MB of listed files, when I
know that my 120GB drive was around 80% full, it should be closer to
around 100000 MB.
So, my questions:
- Is the corruption on this drive so bad that I can only see 12% of
what is there?
- Is there something else I can do to find the remainder of these
files?
- Being a Dynamic Windows Disk, is there something unusual with the
MFT records that I need to adjust for to find the remaining data on
the disk?
I have run a findpart findfile 2 0 14591 fp-a.txt, but I am not sure
on how to interpret these results & how I get findntfs to recover more
than just the original 12647 MB & what I should try next. I am happy
to compress this file & send it.
Can anyone out there help me.
Many Thanks.
David.

| The average temperature of Celeron D 320, 2.4 GHz Scorpius 14:53:08 |
| | What is supposed to be the average temperature range of Celeron D 320,
2.4 GHz, using ZALMAN CNPS7000B-Cu fan, with room temperature at about 25'C?
I'm getting 46-49'C (it gets to 54'C after 20 minutes of burn-in test)
for average workload. Isn't this kind of too high? Namely, I also have a
P4 2.6 GHz with a 'nothing-special' fan, and its temperature is 42'C.
Shouldn't the aforementioned Zalman cool the whole thing down better
(btw, its rpm is set to max)? Or are these Celeron D's just hotter in
general?

| Case Advice Wanted Guest 19:03:36 |
| | I'm looking for a home pc case offering decent active cooling and low
noise. However, I don't care about shiney paint, flashy lights, or
windows that let you see inside. In otherwords, I want funciton and
don't want to have to pay for cosmetics. I also don't require a lot of
bays, but I would like front ports for USB and maybe audio. Of cousre
I don't want something flimsy, but I don't need a tank either because I
don't intend on moving it around much. If power supply comes with
case, 450watt minimum.
I've found a few cases (power supply included) in the $70 that are
close to what I want, but not quite. I've found some cases I like in
the $110 (and over) range, but in most cases there is no power supply
and, as mentioned, I'm just paying for cosmetics. I'm hoping to find
some middle ground.
Any links for online case reviews would also be very helpful. What
I've found so far isn't very inclusive.
Thanks if you can help!

| PSU voltages 12v rail (multimeter and hmonitor disagree , also, 0.2 jumps). Q_q_anonymous@Yahoo.Co.Uk 18:33:37 |
| | Measuring with a multimeter, my PSU 12V rail varies between 11.4 and
11.6
According to hmonitor, it varies, says at around 11.4 mostly, ,
someitmes goes to 11.19, and for a few seconds, even down to 10.94 !!
When hmonitor says 10.94, my multimeter doesn't say . On my multimeter
it's still between 11.4 and 11.6
5v rail is fine. multimeter reports 5.1, hmonitor reports 5.08
might all this indicate a bad or not good PSU? (potentially damaging
my HDD and CD drive - since they use the 12V rail).

useful post
PSU/Voltages in alt.comp.hardware.overclocking.amd
shows normal ranges.
though i think tolerances are a larger range. 10% for 12v, 5% for 5V
- so says scott mueller's book and some posts on usenet.

| How do diagnose issue of computer resetting itself constantly, please help! Guest 18:03:00 |
| |
I'm having an issue with my computer resetting randomly, sometimes it
happens once a day, sometimes it doesn't happen for a few days at a
time and other times it happens many times per day.
It's a P4 with 2gig of ram & gigabyte mainboard, and I have replaced
every piece of hardware on it and it still happens!!!
I've replaced, ram, video card, cpu, power supply (I now have
500watt), main board but not my usb devices.
It basically just does a hard reset but doesn't go into the usual
blue screen, just reboots as if you hit the reset key.
I'm running barely anything on the os of the pc except for office,
antivirus (MacAfee) and virtual server 2005 r2. On the virtual servers
I run my dev environment etc...
At first I thought it was hardware related as it was just recycling the
power, however now I wonder whether is is software related as I have
noticed that when it boots up after a crash and goes into the "inform
Microsoft about this problem" screen, it mentions that a driver
caused the "stop error" but gives no more information than that.
I cant see any dump logs under the windows directory, where are they
usually kept and how do I examine them?
If anyone could help me out, on how to debug this, I would be eternally
grateful.
Thanks Ryan
