  • There are three ways to make CDs hold more information than the standard 74 minutes. (which btw is actually the standardized maximum for CD-R). 1) Decrease the pitch thereby increasing the density at which the information is written. This is wha…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Brad: I thought that wasn't planned for inclusion until Blackcomb. No? My understanding was that Longhorn got pushed back and some of the features of Blackcomb are being implemented in it.
    in Images of the Next Version of Windows Comment by eskimo October 2002
  • That is an early alpha version of Longhorn. They haven't begun the real UI work yet. Not implemented in those screenshots is the integrated video layer nor the WinFS filesystem based off of SQL.

  • I registered with Go-Daddy www.active-domain.com later when I found out godaddy charges an additional $9.95 a year to do name forwarding. Meaning if you already have webhosting under another domain (such as .mac or a geocities account) and you want…
    in Cheap Domain Registry?? Comment by eskimo September 2002
  • Just wait and use the campus printers in the meantime. They usually have some pretty nice B&W and color laser printers in most labs. Just throw your files on a floppy or whatever it is you mac people use now and print it out in the lab.

  • You can get free samples from many of the companies, usually you have to pay for shipping and handling. To do this you have to sign up for a online account. Basically this allows them to spam you with emails about their products and mail you broch…

    in The Ghz Gap Comment by eskimo September 2002
  • Do they actually teach using the symbol E anymore? All my texts in college used V except when explaining what V was and then they used the capital fancy pants cursive E for emf. Just surprised to see it, that's all.

  • Best cheap headphones in my opinion are the Grado SR-60s and the Sennheiser 495s. I have the Senn's which I picked up for about $100 someplace which now eludes me. Only reason I went with them over the Grado's is I found they are more comfortable …
