  1. I see it in the Mozilla tabs, looks nice.
  2. You dont have to buy it and it is not a trial version. You canget a serial number through their site. For Delphi 6 itself, I found it here after some searching. You will need to activate it and get a serial number from their site before you can use it.
  3. I'll do the same for Delphi: Torry.net - Great site for Delphi componenets About Delphi - Lots of tutorials and information PlanetSourceCode - Lots of sample code and components There are more, but these are the ones I visit; evetually helping me build ClearInfo.
  4. I use Limewire, works perfectly on Linux; not sure about the Windows version.
  5. I concur Last I saw of him was on Neowin today posting about how his server is invicible from Microsoft.
  6. I have a fibre optic conection to my building, then RJ45 to my apartment. The good thing about this is that it is cheaper than what other broadband providers offer; $32 CDN per month.
  7. Requires Delphi 4 (Delphi 5 and 6 PE are 100% free to use for non-profit purposes) or Kylix (Except Linux does not support ShellAPI) Delphi, like PHP, has to have ever line ending with a semi-colon. This particular program is used to launch non-console apps like winver Project1.dpr: program Project1; {$APPTYPE CONSOLE} uses SysUtils, ShellAPI; const CrLf = #10 + #13; var varI : String; function MainFunction(): Integer; begin System.Write('C:\>'); system.Readln(varI); ShellExecute(0, '', pchar(VarI), '', nil, 1); end; begin repeat MainFunction(); until varI = 'exit'; end. Delphi might be considered one of the more stranger languages, but it sure makes up for that with the simplicity of a simple GUI builder and complex data type. Lets start from the beggining: program Project1; This tells Delphi the name of the program, it is crucial that this is also the name of the project file (Project1.dpr) {$APPTYPE CONSOLE} Pretty self explanitory, this tells the Delphi compiler that this is a console application uses SysUtils, ShellAPI; This tells us what units to use (sysutils.dcu, shellapi.dcu), these are like compiled libraries. Delphi has a VB like function and procedure completing system so you can type: shellapi. And you will get a drop down list of all the goodies availiable. const CrLf = #10 + #13; This part is useless for now, it is simple to show how to declare a program constant. THis particular constant is what I like to use to make a new line (Carriage Return, Line Feed) var varI : String; To declare app wide variables, use the above. In this case, VarI is a String. NOTE: Delphi has hundreds of variable type, like integer,pchar, boolean, extended, etc... function MainFunction(): Integer; begin System.Write('C:\>'); //Writes a line without a CrLf at the end system.Readln(varI); //puts the input from user into varI shellapi.shellExecute(0, '', pchar(VarI), '', nil, 1); //standard win32 shellapi, except VarI is cast as a pchar (sorta like a string) end; This a a Delphi sample function, with a result type of Integer (I just used this for an example). This shows the use of the System and shellapi library; you can just use Write and Shellexecute instead of using the library prefix. The Readln function puts the intput of the line into the variable. begin repeat MainFunction(); until varI = 'exit'; end. This is the first part of the program which is run, it just repeats the call to MainFunction() untill someone types exit, whenever somthing is typed it is put into the variable varI as an integer. All Delphi procedures and functions fallow this format Function somthing: string; var foo: boolean; begin ....... end; And there you have your basic example of Delphi code; if you have used VB it should not take more than a few weeks to learn stuff like this. Any question or comments? Dont hesitate to ask
  8. Does not seem to work, this is another redirect to their server.
  9. Most BIOS's have a backup one to allow you to flash no matter what; for AMI ones its this: 1.Power down the system. 2.Copy the latest ROM file from the appropriate and latest BIOS diskette onto a bootable diskette. 3.Rename the ROM file to NEWBIOS.ROM, and insert the diskette in the notebook. 4.Attach an external keyboard. 5.Press and hold the <Ctrl>-<Home> keys. 6.Power up the system and continue to hold <Ctrl>-<Home>. 7.There will be no video, this is normal. 8.Wait until you hear diskette activity and release &<Ctrl>-<Home> keys. 9.System will beep at the end of bootblock and the system will reboot. 10.The system should boot normally now. (i.e.. press F1 to set CMOS defaults) 11.Next power down you can remove the external keyboard.
  10. Welcome to MSFN, You would need to use somthing like wake on LAN, but this would require a fully compliant ACPI system. Just use this to wake the PC remotely.
  11. Come on people, lets get some more opinions I have a feeling that this recent plebescite (sp?) will not help Vancouver much.
  12. This would be classified as discrimination; hope someone sue's the pizzeria owner for being an id***.
  13. Try upgrading your firmware, I've had a problem with my old SMC router where it disconnects every few hours.
  14. Where do you think/would you like the 2010 Winter Olympic games should be held? Why? The reason I set this up is because I live in one of the Candidate cities Also, used to live in one of the other initial 2010 Candidate cities, where the 84 olympics were held.

    Snow

    Not quite related to snow, but this is story is really strange
  16. You could make a Beowulf cluster, not sure how you would go about doing that though.

    Snow

    Have not gotten any snow here in Vancouver, can't see a cloud in sight.
  18. I like Mozilla better, especially with the IE skin
  19. Northwood goes up to about 70*C, then it goes to 100 or so Mhz untill it cools down.
  20. in
  21. Congrats to both of you, hope your marriage lasts a lifetime.
  22. Wow, thats really good. Too bad all the download sites are flooded
  23. This is the max I can get my P4 2.0Ghz up to with a retail HSF. After that, my monitor goes on and off every 10 secs, but everything still works The idle stayed at 47*C like it does at 2Ghz
  24. Happy Birthday !
