  1. Thanks for the info..

  2. Windows "Vienna"

    (Part of the Microsoft Windows family)

    Developer: Microsoft

    Release information

    Source model: Closed source

    License: Microsoft EULA

    Kernel type: Hybrid Kernel

    Support status: Preliminary development planning. Planned release year between 2009 and 2012.

    Windows "Vienna" (formerly known as Blackcomb) is Microsoft's codename for a future version of Microsoft Windows, originally announced in February 2000, but has since been subject to major delays and rescheduling.

    The code name "Blackcomb" was originally assigned to a version of Windows that was planned to follow Windows XP (codenamed "Whistler"; both named after the Whistler-Blackcomb resort) in both client and server versions. However, in August 2001, the release of Blackcomb was pushed back several years and Vista (originally codenamed "Longhorn" after a bar in the Whistler Blackcomb Resort) was announced as a release between XP and Blackcomb. Since then, the status of Blackcomb has undergone many alterations and PR manipulations, ranging from Blackcomb being scrapped entirely, to becoming a server-only release. As of 2006, it is still planned as both a client and server release with a current release estimate of anytime between 2009 and 2012, although no firm release date or target has yet been publicized.

    In January 2006, "Blackcomb" was renamed to "Vienna".[1]

  5. nasty overpriced?  overpriced yes, but intel aint nasty, lol they **** good, intel kicks  crappy AMD a** all day and night ,they aint no cowboys when it comes to throwing a cpu together......... :no:  :no:

    Where do you get your Sorces? because AMD KICKS A_S_S

    I agree with Ripken,  I've only owned 1 Inhell and that was back in the sday Pentium 1... and from there on I have been won over by the speed and the dsesigns of AMD... AMD ROCKS!!!!

    I have always went with AMD. My first PC was with an AMD Am486® microprocessor then the AMD-K6-2 microprocessor, featuring 3DNow!™ technology. then the AMD Athlon XP microprocessor, and Now have the AMD X64 microprocessor

    my G/F has an Intel P4 and all my PC's beat the crap out of her P4

  6. With your Northbridge chipset fan crapping out & Dieing can that f-up any hardware? I'm asking because I had 2x 1GB ram = 2 gigs of ram on my MSI board everything was working at 100% till my Northbridge fan stopped working and never noticed it till my computer was going funky on me but I was thinking some sort of virus was in my system so I reformatted and installed a fresh copy of everything. Still hade the same errors and still acted funky so I formatted again and again this happened for about 3 days till I called up a friend and he said sounds like its hardware. So I opened up my system turned it on and the Northbridge fan was not moving. So now I get almost in every sect of the 2 sticks of ram I get errors. Also seems like it also f-upped my 3 hard drives. I told MSI this and they said that can’t happen.

  7. I installed WinXP pro SP2 on a laptop rather then it installing just Xp pro it installs Windows Xp Pro TABLET PC SP2 ? what is going on ?

    SAN FRANCISCO — Yahoo Inc. is preparing to introduce a new service that blends several of its website's popular features with two of the Internet's fastest growing activities — blogging and social networking.

    The hybrid service, called "Yahoo 360," won't be available until March 29, but the Sunnyvale-based company decided to announce the product late Tuesday after details were leaked to news outlets.

    Yahoo is testing the service with a small group of employees, some of whom have been working on the project since last year when the product was operating under the code name "Mingle."

    The service is designed to enable Yahoo's 165 million registered users to pull content from the website's discussion groups, on-line photo albums and review section to plug into their own Web logs, or blogs, the Internet shorthand used to describe on-line personal journals.

    NOTE: that you will see in the Photos above and the Post below

    Each reoccurrence documented by Rogers will result in an escalated stage. Three occurrences within a 12 month

    period will lead to a termination of Internet services.

    Stage 1: Notification Letter and Email sent to subscriber

    Stage 2: Temporary Suspension of modem connectivity. Customer will need to call and speak with Technical Support Tier 2 Before being reinstated.

    Stage 3: Termination of Internet Services without option for reactivation for 1 year

    But can they really do Stage 3: Termination of Internet Services without option for reactivation for 1 year? For the users who paid for the Modem. If so that’s just wrong

    Monthly Bandwidth Limits for Rogers Yahoo! Hi-Speed Internet

    Monthly Bandwidth Limits to be Announced on February 15, 2005 for Rogers Yahoo! Hi-Speed Internet

    On Tuesday, February 15, 2005, Rogers will be announcing a combined upload and download bandwidth limit of 60 Gigabytes (GB) per month for all Rogers Yahoo! Hi-Speed Internet Residential Tiers (including RBS Telecommuter and SOHO), effective March 17, 2005. This limit applies to customers in Ontario and New Brunswick . Newfoundland customers will not be affected until further notice.

    Only a very small percentage of our subscribers that have extremely high usage will be affected. 60GB is a very generous limit which is approximately equal to the consumption of a typical customer in an entire year. The Usage Measurement Tool will allow those customers with extremely high levels of downloading or uploading to manage their service usage.

    How will this program be announced?

    On February 15, 2005 , the following will occur;

    • An announcement of monthly bandwidth limits beginning on March 17, and the resulting changes to the Acceptable Use Pol

    (AUP) will be made on http://www.rogershelp.com. Customers will have a minimum of 30 days notice from this

    announcement before the limits begin for them.

    • FAQs on Bandwidth Limits will be made available within www.rogers.com, and can be directly accessed by visiting

    www.rogers.com/ums-faq

    • A Usage Measurement Tool will be available for all residential customers on www.rogers.com that will provide their

    cumulative usage consumption for the current and previous months. Note: The tool will not be available for Telecommuter a

    SOHO customers at this time. These customers can call an RBS technical support agent to request their usage.

    • Call Centres, eCare and Technical Support Call Centres will begin providing support in this program, using the appropriate

    positioning required. Customer Usage Information will be also available in SGI for all Technical Support Representatives for

    Key Positioning /FAQ's

    Q: Why is Rogers implementing a monthly bandwidth activity limit?

    A: In an effort to keep pace with the evolving Internet needs of our Rogers Yahoo! Hi-Speed Internet customers and to continue providing you with a fast and efficient service, we have implemented a combined upload and download bandwidth limit of 61,44 Megabytes (60 gigabytes) per month. This is a very generous limit which is approximately equal to the consumption of a typical customer in an entire year. This limit was announced on February 15 2005 and will take effect starting March 17, 2005 .

    New Internet file sharing applications have had a dramatic impact on the way people use the available network capacity. It is Rogers ' responsibility to ensure that we can deliver the level of service our customers are expecting. This limit is one of the measures we are taking to address this issue.

    To enable you to be informed about how much data you are using each month we have also introduced a Usage Measurement tool, to be available to all customers beginning February 15, 2005 .

    Q: When does the limit come into effect for me?

    A: The limit will come into effect for you on your first billing period that begins on or after March 17, 2005 . On February 15, a web based Usage Measurement tool will be available to all customers on the Rogers.com website. The Usage Measurement tool provides customers with detailed information on current and past transfer amounts.

    To make the program easier for our customers, usage shown on the website is calculated by billing period rather than by calender< month. That means if your billing period starts on the 18th of each month, then the month measured by the tool will also start of the 18 th.

    Q: How will the new limit affect me?

    A : Our estimates indicate that a majority of our customers will be unaffected by this implementation as only a small percentage customers will consume in excess of 60 Gigabytes in a month. 60 Gigabytes is approximately equal to the amount of use a typical customer would use in a year.

    Q: Will I be notified when I approach my monthly usage limit?

    A: You will not be notified directly when you approach the monthly usage limit. However, you will have an opportunity to view your< usage online at any time by using the Usage Measurement tool when it becomes available on February 15, 2005 .

    Q: How much is 61,440 Megabytes (60 gigabytes)?

    61,440 Megabytes is what the average customer would use in an entire year.

    Here is what could be done with the service on a monthly basis prior to going beyond the limit:
