Dude, that's not a good sign.

It means most of the time when you have an ADSL modem you try to plug them into the wall outlet by themselves using the shortest wire possible and no splitters. This reduces the chances of interferance.

ADSL modems are very sensitive, yes, a bad splitter or wire could also adversly affect your modem. It's standard practice with ADSL modems to plug them into their own jack.

I have a Linksys WRT54GS using the Thibor15c firmware. I'm not using the firewall of the router, I'm completely raw to the internet. However, it does have an internal firewall of it's own. The firewall in the router supports blocking Anonymous Internet Requests, filtering of Multicast, filtering of Internet NAT Redirection and filtering of IDENT (Port 113). The thibor firmware also additionally supports filtering of Proxy, Java Applets, Portscans, Cookies, ActiveX and P2P applications. Personally, I don't think there's a better router then Linksys routers.

I like riding the internet bareback. So I'm DMZed through my router and I have no firewall. Haven't for years, never been hacked because I a) keep windows up to date and B) use secure passwords on all routable services (FTP, Remote Desktop).

Well, they just rebranded Ghost from Powerquest. Powerquest is actually the one that invented that great tool as well as PartitionMagic. They just bought them out. Seems to be the trend now adays within companies.

In fact, that's even faster then desktop search because you'll have many freed resources due to a lack of bloated desktopware running.

It is expected behavior in web pages. Not just MSFN. It is a result of a form POST.

Very common with ADSL. Because ADSL connection usually require a login, after long periods of inactivity the connection gets dropped and then when you first try to access the internet it will have to re-establish the connection with your provider before you can access the internet. Hence the delay.

Unless you have a computer that runs exceptionally hot or extremely powerful, I would go with the SmartPower series instead. The TruePower series are great power supplies so are the SmartPower series except the SmartPower series is quieter since they are designed with noise considerations as one of the main factors. Good choice by the way. Antec makes great power supplies.

Sorry my bad It means : the system can't locate the file which should be there. Doenja I'll check it out... Turns out that WMP11 in Dutch is still beta, surely why it doesn't work.

Yep, I may be wrong, this is why I used the IMHO form in my statement, but while this me being wrong is a concrete possibility, it is not proved by your unpolite attack on it, nor because you say so. jaclaz You'll find that when I'm unpolite, I'm much more direct. Trust me.

XP with Linux style booting would be rad. Text whizzing by only.

is a "comparative sentence", rather than an "opinion sentence", reference: http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1148...CFTOKEN=6184618 The above is a comparation between:a previous common situation (FAT16 with large cluster size and OS with hundreds of very small files) and a common current situation (NTFS with 512 byte cluster size and OS with smaller number of files relatively big) that does not mean that there is no need for defragmentation, nor that having a good (or better)defragmenter is a bad thing, only that there is less need to defragment as often as it was necessary with other OS and filesystems, or to be even more exact that it is less imperative to do it, intended as meaning #4 here: http://www.bartleby.com/61/63/I0056300.html And of course this applies to average use of the PC, it is quite obvious that a PC used as Web server has different needs than a gaming station or than an Internet Cafè PC. jaclaz You're still wrong. The shear quantity of files on a modern computer make your argument moot. The need for defragmentation now is bigger then it has ever been despite any improvements brought upon by NTFS.

DK2007 is revolutionary compared to DK10. Just to add... yes, that behaviour was annoying with DK10, but that HAS been fixed with InvisiTask in DK2007.

Unless you have very high transactional rates, the dual processors would be overkill. As for the rest, depends on what kind of money you want to invest.

That is the worst piece of misinformation I have ever heard. With the average computer racking up hundreds of thousands of files, what you're saying is ridiculous. If anything, there is a bigger need for intelligent defragmentation software now then there ever was.

I can't even begin to help you because I have no idea what "Het systeem kan het opgegeven bestand niet vinden" means.

Norton and McAfee are the absolute worst. They protect against nothing and they slow down a computer like a Austin Mini pulling a freight train. AVG and Avast are behind the leaders, nothing spectacular. I've seen quite a few computers infected even with these installed. Panda has potential, it's effective, but XP hangs for almost 10 seconds when it loads Panda. (I've sold about 50 copies to customers, so yes, it's not one machine). It's slow, it's poorly supported and it's hard to configure (some things can't even be configured). [That includes both the Titanium and the Platinum edition]. Trend Micro's Internet Security suite I believe, IMHO, is the most effective anti-virus on the market today that also strikes a good balance between effectiveness and computer performance after installation. All this said, I still would never install an anti-virus on any of my personal computers.

Next time, go to Control Panel -> Security Center, look in the left pane and click on "Change the way Security Center alerts me", remove all three checkmarks and the customer will never be bothered with that again.

Hence why I recommend Antec power supplies to most people since they're reliable and well balanced.

Choose the ROOT folder of your XP CD, not the I386 folder as your XP Source.
