  1. Maybe a "stupid" idea :unsure::
    hey, it's not my fault, the devil imai ;) made me think of it

    Why not putting a minimum post AND elapsed time since registration to the board limit to allow access to the Win9x Forums in "write mode"?

    Something "reasonable" like 3 posts and 7 days since subscription ?

    Old time members won't have problems, new members will have to wait one week, during which they will have time to post something in here:

    http://www.msfn.org/board/introduce_yourself-f76.html

    This should :unsure::

    a. mitigate the intensity of work of the Mods

    b. allow people REALLY interested in joining the discussions to do so, even if they are "new"

    c. let "aficionados" continue as if nothing changed

    d. disincentivate "kids" from gatecrashing the party (usually the time span before an idea simply pops out of the brain of children is a few minutes)

    if this is possible to implement then i am for it, assuming it fixes the issue at hand.

  2. I think its stupid all these websites are killing off IE6 access,totally shows a laziness on thier part to keep the coding going for it.. (That seems to be the trend)

    There's a very good reason for this trend. Do you know about web standards? They're standards agreed upon by a wide range of people from all around the world, specifying HTML, CSS, how a web page should be rendered, and other web technologies.

    When you make a web page, you conform to these standards, and the web browser, in turn, renders your page according to these standards. The idea is that every web browser would show each web page in an almost identical way, instead of having to make separate web pages for each web browser, or, $DEITY forbid, make your web page for only one web browser.

    Enter IE. As of IE5, IE implements several parts of the standard wrongly, most notably the box model. In IE6, they fixed the box model, and then stalled development for 5 years, which sucked, because it is lacking support for many parts of the CSS and DOM standards, and notable parts of the HTML standard. It also has a lot of rendering bugs.

    In the meantime, other web browsers have released new versions like hotcakes, and vastly exceeded IE6's web standards support. So much so that these days when you make a new web page that separates content from style, it looks great in every web browser... except IE. A lot of work and many hacks are required just to make it look good in IE without breaking it for the others because of all the bugs in that thing.

    Do you understand now why IE6 is such a pain in the behind for web developers?!

    I HATE IE6, I am a web developer

  3. well for those against what some of us have said, i am just for the mods on this.

    there job is hard enough as it is and they are making it sound like they have to spend a lot of time moderating this forum to the point that it is not worth it, which is why we are asking the question, is it really worth it?

    hopefully all of the crap that is going on will stop, but we do not want the mods to be annoyed to hell with the forum.

  4. The other possibility is that the thermal paste in between the CPU/NB/GPU and the heatsink may have dried up, or been improperly applied. If you go digging around on the internet, you'll find cases of the original Intel Macbook Pros having huge gobs of thermal paste under the heatsinks.

    I had the same problem with a friend's Toshiba laptop. You can often find instructions on how to disassemble the laptop on the net. Once you've found them, take everything apart, remove the heatsink, clean it and the chips underneath, and apply a fresh layer of thermal paste. Doing this dropped my friend's CPU temperatures from about 70C to 55C.

    be careful, there are some who may bash you for this.

    but i agree with you that it is a possibility.

    i just took apart a dead computer and the thermal paste is completely dried and there is very little between then cpu and heatsink, plenty of metal showing.

  5. your bios is from 2007/08/27

    the latest is 1901 from 2009/05/13

    please update it

    http://dlsvr04.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket...xtreme_1901.zip

    if that does not fix it then try using another program such as gparted to format it

    http://gparted.sourceforge.net/

    you may also need to update the firmware on your raid card

    http://www.areca.us/support/download/RaidC...are/ARC1220.zip

    which 2TB drive do you have? the WD drive is officially supported by areca. so the firmware update may be just what you need.

  6. ya i recently bought an 8port gigabit dlink switch and use 6 of its ports. but for a home network these "cheap" devices are perfectly fine, the issues are once multiple computers are trying to make file transfers at the same time. the range on my 655 is impressive though for N, i am quite happy with it.

  7. It made my computer at home faster! Of course only the first time I ran it, which removed about 7 years of "crap" so that makes sense. I say, run it every five years, presuming you can keep your OS healthy that long. That way you'll see the performance increase you've heard about so much. :lol:

    nice one
