Sweet, thanks for a response. Buying it in a few weeks may not make my Xmas tree, but not sure yet. 16ms, 20", good color, this is a pretty good deal. This is, however, a first generation using all these goodies, I may way for second or third gen before I take the plunge. At $899 for a 20"...

Ok, I'm buying it. Read the reviews, minor complaints, but a good panel overall. Now that the press release is out, where is on Dell's site? I cannot find it for purchase anywhere. As soon as this sucker is available, I'm in. vash

Hey, I have a question for you all. Anyone remember when the first Athlon 500s appeared? Fast and furious these things were AND they were more expensive when initially introduced. Funny how that is happening again. This is a new chip, that needs new boards and they are going to be a wee bit...

This started a few weeks ago when the net started seeing the SoBig virus. The user agent is consistantly MSIE 5.5/Windows 98 machines, there are very hits that are different in that reguards. Again, if someone were hitting my main page, they would get a series of images, not nothing, as the...

Thanks for the response and yes, I am logging user-agents and referers (default I guess in Debians install). Here are a few of the lines in the log file: ool-18b9a80f.dyn.optonline.net - - [04/Sep/2003:18:28:29 -0700] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 3510 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows...

They really aren't getting the / page at all. If you point to our website, you will definitely download a number of images. Also, we would see the refer from either yahoo or google if they came from a search engine. Anyone else? vash

Valve is pretty smart with the entire idea of this bundle, here's why: 1. If people want the SP experience of HL2, they can have it at a reduced price. I'm hoping this price is like $20. If it is, then that'll be great for anyone that is using the "wait and see" approach to HL2/Steam. 2...

For the last few weeks, I've seen a significant amount of plain ol 'GET /" requests to my Apache server. I'm at a loss as to what is causing the significant jump to the site. My site is quite small and if you point a browser to the page, you will download a few images from index.html...

Please read more on Trillian's site before you post. With the latest beta of Trillian pro, they are using the newer Microsoft protocol. Trillian, at least in its pro form, will be fine when MSN updates the protocol. Free versions may not fare so well, unless they talk with Microsoft about it...

What I want to do is run a local X server and run applications on the remote server. Here are my quesitons: 1. What stable, debian packages do I need to install on my server in order to accomplish this? 2. I know I need to install Cygwin on my local machine, and "run" the X server, but how...

SoF2 rocks in MP! My favorite is mp_barn with the realdamage mod. Gimme those two, with FF and I'm having a good time! vash

Yup, Traumatize is definitely the card. In serious competition, there is no way to pull that card out, but its quite annoying with playing 2HG, etc. For real competitions, you need faster decks with a better "bite". I've shyed away from all of that, since I competed so many years ago with the...

cnet link to worm This is probably what I'm seeing in my logs, anyone else getting hit? vash

Different *can* be new and that's what I want. Getting another PC doesn't really yield me anything *new* at all. So, I install XP again, migrate my games. Maybe have *another* x86 linux box.. *yawn*. Decent Sun hardware is out of my reach, but PPC hardware is just within. vash

As many PCs as I have, I want a Mac. My first computer was an Apple ][+ with 32kb of RAM. This thing only had the larger floppies that needed a manual flip for some games. In order to find out what was on the disk, I needed to type "dir". To run an application, it was either "run xyz" or...
