I have a feeling this has something to do with the mod rewrite extension that's been set. You also don't get redirected to your own post when you add a reply to a thread, since the trailing PHP address options are missing.

Bring it!!

Do people not read...?

@no1none - Why do you say BOINC isn't for your home network? It's actually much easier to maintain, since all you need is the boinc executable and the .XML file for the project you're working on. I just added the other 19 machines in our cluster last night, and did it by copying 3 files over - the boinc executable, the boinc service script, and my rosetta XML file. After that, it was a matter of telling each machine to start the BOINC daemon. As for your work machines, if you're worried about system administration, you can just tell them that it's for non-profit research groups, and doesn't affect overall system performance nor does it affect network security.

That's not too bad. As long as your temperatures are within limits, I'd be pretty happy with that overclock. By the way... I never knew Intel made a 3.9Mhz P4...

The only problem with heatsinks like that is that once they're on, they stay on. We've nearly cracked two mobos at SPCR installing and removing heatsinks like the Ninja, Ultra120, and Andy. The easiest big heatsink to install by far is the Zalman 9500/9700. They're so simple to install, even a dumb monkey could do it. And there's no guesswork either - they go only as far as they need to.

Having a large amount of data in My Documents isn't a problem, nor should mapping the My Documents folder. The desktop and appdata, however, like Yzowl said, probably are best of left locally. appdata should only contain program settings or licence keys, but not anything user-related. I'd try removing those from the network shares and seeing if the problem goes away. Just tell your users to only save files in their My Documents folder. Saving things to desktop is sloppy.

Thanks CptMurphy.

I'm at work right now, where I've got my WinXP Pro laptop, Fedora Core 6 workstation, and OSX iMac G5. The iMac is pretty... but the mouse behaviour in OSX is just wierd. The acceleration curve is way off and there's no easy way to change it. FC6 - I'm getting used to. Yum is awesome though. And then there's good ol' XP. It just works and doesn't complain.

That program is from Microsoft... mind giving us the program information page?

No gnomes in this game... but you can transform yourself into a toad. You actually have to for one part of the game!

I'm in the process of installing our real software on the other 19 nodes. Once that's done, I'll get BOINC on those. I have a feeling that these machines aren't going to be otherwise used to their full potential.

What brand of laptop is it? The fact that you uninstalled your laptop manufacturer's utility suggests that something went wrong during the uninstallation. Have you tried a system restore to a point before you uninstalled the power management software?

I was referring to the fact that this reply will get me the following address in my address bar: http://www.msfn.org/board/Adding_reply_doe...ply_t98362.html while it used to give me something like the following: http://www.msfn.org/board/ergonomic_tips_t...mp;#entry655627 EDIT - Hey... what's going on? When I click on the second link, the additional "info" is removed from the address, but I still get sent to my post.

Interesting... will try this out.

I just signed up for a funpic.org account. The FTP space and file hosting works (http://zxian.zx.funpic.org) but they'll inject an ad into your HTML pages. For image hosting it works though.

IIRC, when I posted a reply to a topic, I used to get redirected to my reply of the topic. This doesn't seem to happen anymore. Did xper change something?

As a follow up... check this out. That's one system that I've got here at work... one of twenty like it. Once I've done my job of setting the systems up as they're needed, I'm going to get BOINC on each one of those systems and fire them up. schroedinger (the main 8 core beast) just finished 440 credits worth of work in a matter of hours. For comparison, deathstar, my personal Athlon XP 2000+ system has done a total of 977 credits at the time of this posting, ever since I created this team last week. With 20 of those crazy systems, there'll be nothing to stop us!

Purdy... I still play the Blizzard classics like Diablo II and StarCraft (the original that is). So much fun...

So... I've been playing FFIII DS for a little bit now, but the problem is that you can't get the Onion Knight job unless you've messaged real people. Anyone else play? Possibly we could meet up on MSN and exchange friend codes to get the infamous job? At level 99, it's got 99 for every single stat and lets you use everything but lvl 9 magic (no wizard stories please ).

That's exactly my point. A 450W or 500W PSU doesn't mean jack if the brand is something that isn't well known or is known to be bad. I'd take a 380W Seasonic over a 600W Zalman any day...

That's exactly my point - there is no "one best". Just taking your list of conditions, the "ease of use" is very subjective, and simply can't be put on a scale of one to ten like RAM security can. I find Opera very easy to use, but my girlfriend hates it. The simple fact of the matter is that she and I disagree on what is the "best browser", just like many people in this poll. Also - if I were to ask the simple question, what's the best OS, you'd have absolutely no way of properly answering that, since it really depends on what you want to do. If you're looking to host PHP and MySQL pages, you can do it on Windows, but it's much better to do that on *nix. On the other hand, some applications are only available for Windows. What if you're forced to use them? The long story short is that the term "best" can't always be put on a scale. Sure, an F1 car might be one of the best racing cars, but would I consider using it for day to day use? Heck no...

You can't stop people from bookmarking, and if you don't want them to be able to access certain parts of your site, then that's your responsibility to ensure, and not by preventing them from bookmarking the page. Using proper cookies or sessions (or whatever other method you choose) should be the first of your priorities in that department. One option you have that's pretty simple is to use a session variable. If the homepage has been visited, then they have access to whatever sites you choose. If they haven't (if they're coming from a bookmark for example), the other page redirects them to the homepage. It's simple and prevents them from directly accessing the sub-pages of your site. Refreshing framed pages might not take you back to the homepage in Opera, but it does in IE and FF (the last time I checked). Frames are old, sloppy, and are only permitted in the Frameset DTD (not Traditional or Strict - the better choices for browser compatibility).

This is what people don't seem to understand about the word "best". Best is a subjective term. Best comes down to several factors, the main one of which is preference. You can't say that there is one best for all, other wise it goes back to the old saying, "You can have any color you want, as long as it's black". (If you don't know the origin of that saying, look it up)

Frames are just bad from a "completeness" POV. They break up what should be a single webpage into multiple parts that don't connect like you'd expect them to. Like idontwantspam said, you can use the require() or include() functions to "insert" portions of the page. You should have a look at how a system like WordPress does the majority of it's page layouts. It's simple and elegant and much nicer than frames. Tables are also considered bad, since they use a surprising amount of computing power to render. Not that it's really a problem with today's computers, but why waste CPU cycles when you don't need to?
