shack help!

LAN question

Ok, I looked hard first (google, comment search, docs) and decided to try the quick fix.

here is my network:

DSL-> D-Link Router -> Laptops (wireless) w/ Windows XP and Desktop (Wire) w/ Windows ME

Internet is shared, multiple connections at once is no problem and wireless works (although optimization tips would be appreciated).

Problem:
Computers cannot see each other either in My Network Places or if I search for local/LAN games for any multiplayer game I've tried. I can play games if I put a server on the internet (ie Gamespy) and have everyone join it, but why can't I just have it run on the LAN? This is also impeding local File Sharing and printer sharing (although the printer isn't installed yet...so don't worry about that.)

The list and link to TELESPHOROS' LIST o'MODS has been updated.
http://telesphoros.tesmods.net

I was able to put in one of the texture packs this morning and saw a very nice graphical improvement.

There is a temptation to uninstall everything, take a few screenshots in select areas and then re-install it. I'm not 100% certain that I'll do this, but there are a number of advantages in doing so. I know for a fact that I will be installing a lot more plugins. I will get more information up as soon as possible. I have the easter holiday and an anniversary to try and work around, but I will do my best to get something up soon.

I work for a smallish IT company and my boss asked me to draw him out some specs for a new computer that would suit my needs. I do a lot of different software development related things. At the moment I am developing in C#, C++, HTML/CSS, Flash and some image editing.
I don't think his budget for me is too big, so what should I suggest? Is a dual display setup worth pushing for? We'd probably buy it from Dell.

SFAC TOURNEY REPORT!

Out of 10 fights, all but 2 were fought! The contenders fought valiantly to stake their ground in this illustrious, soul-bearing fight that will determine their destiny in the afterlife....

...Wait this isn't soul calibur... *ahem*... THE FOLLOWING MOTHERFUCKERS WERE DELIVERED A WARM PLATE OF SERVE-CASSEROLE COVERED WITH PWN-SAUCE AND A LITTLE BIT OF HUMILIATION SEASONING.

Genjuro served cookblaze in their match "like Ray Charles in a straight jacket". Armybob won against maulla. Lacker defeated Moofrog. Tehwhite kept his ground against jackrabbit. Sevojaire stuck it to Boomstickah. Dynotaku shafted shaffe out of the tournament! [Fry] beat Sludge, and Creep defeated nighthavvk. Give props to all the opponents of course. There will be another tournament. SammyL qwpeirou and jono 181 are removed because I haven't heard anything from them and neither have their opponents. So on with the fights...

Genjuro will fight Creep
Armybob will fight Lacker
TheWhite will fight Fry
Sevojaire will fight Dynotaku

shackmsg your opponents today and try to fight by TOMORROW, saturday march 26th. Double-check procedure and rules in this post: http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=9758464

HERE'S YOUR COLLAPSE BUTTON NOW SHUT UP

i've been working on this greasemonkey user script off and on for the last few days. it's not finished, but it's in a working state. i may not be around much this weekend to finish it up, and i know some of you are just dying to have the collapse button back. so here it is.

http://www.pupinc.com/greasemonkey/collapse/shack_collapse.user.js

instructions:
you need 1) firefox and 2) the greasemonkey extension. google for it. once you get greasemonkey installed, go to that .user.js link up there and the choose tools/install user script. then click ok twice. that's it. refresh the shack comments and you should have a collapse button.

like i said, it's not finished. i plan on adding a gradual fade in/out when you mouseover/out a collapsed comment. the effect is a bit jarring at the moment. i also plan on adding the [Collapse] text under a collapsed thread like there used to be. i didn't have time to get those things in there, and i don't want to make you guys wait until next week for such a minor few things.

i have not tested this in anything other than thread mode. it may fuck up in dthread or flat mode, i don't know. if it is fucking shit up, just to to tools/manage user scripts and remove it from the list (i also remove the default scripts that come with greasemonkey, but that's just me).

post bugs and suggestions in reply or shackmessage me. i'll be out of town for easter weekend, but i should be able to check in periodically.

new sony mp3 walkmans are out now too

2 things awesome about them:

- 50hour battery (I so hate the battery part of ipods)
- FM radio
- inbuilt OLED displays.

they seem to look smaller and nicer than shuffle too
http://news.sel.sony.com/digitalimages/photo?photo_id=174769

possibly hit the sweet spot between the shuffle and the mini, with nearly 10x more battery life (so you can keep it in your pocket all week, something i wish i could do on the ipod).

So my wife is taking a job at a new laboratory as a post-doc, and as is usually the case, they're throwing money at her. She's going to buy a new laptop (although her old one is still really quite nice). The reason I bring this up is that she is worried about buying another Dell. Her current laptop is a Dell, and it has had a few problems, particularly related to the power supply and battery life. She's also heard that Dell's quality ratings have declined (and I've heard their support quality has declined as well). So the question is, if not Dell, who?

She'll probably have $2,000 to $3,000 to spend on a laptop. She is currently looking at Sony Vaios. I was under the impression that they come installed with too much unnecessary stuff, but maybe that's no longer the case. Her main requirements are 1) Quality and 2) PC (not Mac). She can probably throw more money at it if it's necessary to get a nicer machine.

Any suggestions on brands?

So I'm still looking into a system upgrade. (Old thread here: http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=9774037 )

Summary: I'm starting with the Asus A7N8X Deluxe and an AMD Athlon 2100+. At least that's what /proc/cpuinfo says. I might be overclocking it a little. This amounts to 1.7ghz. I have two 512 mb chips that don't play well with each other. I need to upgrade.

Motherboard upgrade: I'm opting out. The 64 bit MBs look great but too expensive right now. The amount of extra milage I'd get out of upgrading to another 32 bit motherboard isn't enough to justify the hassle of reinstalling two operating systems.

CPU upgrade: I'm undecided. The best the motherboard can handle is the Barton core 3200+, which runs at 2.2ghz. This seems to be $130 to $160. The chip would run 30% faster than my current one. I'm not convinced that's worth spending another $150. I'll wait and see. Has anyone else seen a notable improvement in performance from a 30% speed increase? (In the past, all my previous upgrades have been between 75% and 200% extra speed.)

Memory upgrade: I need to do SOMETHING. I'm seriously considering going up to two gigs of memory. At the very least I'll buy two 512mb sticks that play well together. Has anyone else done the 1gb to 2gb upgrade? Do you notice a real impact when playing World of Warcraft using the system? It looks like a pair of 512mb chips will run around $100. An extra 1 gb chip bumps the total up to $240.

CD Ripping People:

I have a cd that is giving me a bit of trouble in iTunes when I try to import it. It plays in a cd player and does not have any major scratches. What are some other rippers that will rip to wav and let me encode in itunes?
