Once upon a midnight dreary
As I wandered, bored and bleary,
Through many a useless, misspelled FAQ
of confusing network drek,
As I scrolled down, searching, reading,
silently my heart was pleading,
Somewhere must be answeres leading....
Leading, but yet never found.
Quoth the lobby, "Server down."

It's a version 2.2.
I heard there were hacked firmwares you could get from sveasoft and other companies for the linksys router. Which one should i get (that's free?). There seems to be so many of them.
I heard some of them have bandwidth shaping that would help me immensly because i use bittorrent a lot, but i don't want my latency to slow to a crawl when i'm at full bandwidth.
Thanks.

1) How do I create a system restore point? My system is a fresh install. I have all the programs I need installed, and everything is clean and running smoothly....I'd like to have that saved in case something happens.
2)I've collected a bunch of files and apps that I would like to burn to a DVD to make it easier if I ever need to re-install windows again....they'll all just be there. Its too big for a CD. Windows XP seems to only do integrated CD burning not DVDs. I have Alcohol 120 but that seems to only handle disc images, or make images from a disc. Any suggestions on freeware DVD burners for simple file backup? Thanks :D

That's kind of strange how Hollywood DVDs don't use the full capacity of DVDs. I popped a few in my DVD drive just now and looked at some of the totals.
4.5 GB for one (a 2 hour movie with trailers and audio commentary), 7.32 GB for another (a 2 hour movie with LOTS of audio tracks, trailers and DVD-ROM stuff). Obviously THEY don't want you have the best quality version of the movie possible.
Which brings me to this: When HD DVDs/Blue Ray come out, is the same type of stuff going to crop up? Of course! And to me...that ain't cool. If the format can deliver, you better use every bit on the disc...you Hollywood companies you!
This goes along the same lines as the digital cable companies compressing the shit out of the video signals...making them equal in quality to analog...but with pixels instead of "snow." Consumers must demand quality over quantity!

I am just curious of why the idea of the message board failed here at the shack, maybe some old timers can share their thoughts. I was around then but didn't post so I am not sure why exactly the MB idea failed.
Don't get me wrong, I got used to, and now like the comment format but it does have it's dis-advantages (and advantages). One being the obvious replication of questions & information from day to day. Plus, it's sometimes nice having a conversation with someone longer than it takes for a post to scroll off the front page (which in some cases seems like seconds).
Note: I am not asking for a Message Board, simply wondering what peoples thoughts about it are.

So, this woman, an expert on rats said that any hole where a simple pencil can fit, a rat can fit there too.
And they showed many examples. Like the friggin space between the door of your house and the immediate floor below it. That space.. if the rat can fit his skull over there, then its easy for him to get the rest of his body thru it.
Amazing.
And the company where i work, we're established on a big home, and just last week we expanded to the home next to us. The guys living or working there before were disgusting little pigs. Never cared about cleaning the yard, even inside, it was full of crap.
Anyway, as i said their yard was full of shit, and full of holes on the ground too. So every night we saw huge rats moving around. One guard said he put his food up on something and one rat actually climbed there and took it away.
Scary huge rats.
We have since put a new layer of cement on their whole yard and apparently all the rats got stuck below. They're dead Jim..

Symptoms: Computer Reboots/Hangs while starting. It'll reboot if it's starting up windows (I believe I have reboot on blue screen chosen, which would explain it). Sometimes it will just hang if I press the power button (never accesses drives/power lights don't check themselves, floppy drive never budges, etc). Sometimes it will hang checking memory. Sometimes it will make it to the Login screen of XP, I press enter, and it Reboots (again, I'm guessing it's blue screening and auto rebooting). If I get to the XP safe mode menu, it will go through loading all the drivers and whatevers, then reboot(bluescreen?) when it tries to load something graphicy.
So far I have: replaced powersupply, removed all pci cards. Tried a different video card, removed ram, Tried different ram combinations, disconnected all ide devices (it gets stuck on saying No OS found like it should).
Then I Plugged in an older hard drive... this one comes up and gives me the 0x0000007B error. This drive works fine, as I took it out of a spare computer which I had just turned on and checked out the video card I removed from my current problem system.
I'm guessing my motherboard is shot :(

I was a huge SOF2 and SOF fan, so I see Raven kind of like royality. I was too chicken to say anything to them... meh.
Hmmm, thinking of it, I should totally just get all ninja and shit and go over to Raven and take pictures of their offices through their windows... get some "exclusive" quake 4 info... I mean, I know the office layout :)

We drove the USMC back into the ocean, and I'm there artying the crap out of their carrier. It's turned into a slaughter and the tickets are 100 in our favor and climbing. Just as I issue another arty on top of about 15 of their guys, the game dies. Crashes. Completely.
This is the buggiest demo I've played in years.
When you're typing and flying at the same time, sometimes if you type an "E", it'll eject you out of the plane. My own teammates are shooting the crap out of me because they think I'm an enemy. My 6800GT that runs every other game silky-smooth is stuttering and hitching and crashing the game left and right.
Fuck you, EA. This game needed another month.

Bad DirectSound Driver. Please install proper drivers or select another device in configuration.
Along with an error code. Where can I download the driver I need? Thanks
I catched the trailer when it was released and read about it here at the Shack, but yes, only saw the whole movie today.
It so simple, yet beautiful. And Scarlett is beautiful too.
She is also very young, and has very big boobs. Which i assume are silicon based.
Am i right?
Coincidentally, i saw "In Good Company" just last week. Scarlett was there too. Cool...
