Hmmmm.

I am very concerned about the heat output these newer video cards make.
Currently the only politically correct PC case is the ANTEC 900 case.
But even still I would like to see the video card next to the power supply instead at the opposite end.
Also would like to see a rocker switch on all devices that use fans so we can decide how to keep our pc the coolest as we see fit. As it is now the video card ejects the heat behind the pc and it goes up and some of it gets sucked back in via the power supply.
I am thinking of making a tailpipe that truly would keep all heat from the back getting sucked back in. The Antec 900 is not a 100% cure to heat problems but so far is the best case that truly addresses heat issues as much as possible.
My current quick fix is to place the pc over an AC vent or on wintery days let the pc sit on the window sill.
Next time please report on how much heat these new cards put out.
Thanks.
Dealing with IT issues I can say first hand:
A. Just max out the memory already!
People keep buying systems with just 512 megs of ram and they wonder why their new system is slow?
B. If your dept buys an entire fleet of new systems then it better be from our pre approved vendor list.
C. You just upgraded to the latest version of java and you want support for that? Good luck!(door shuts)
D. No I will not give you admin access to install your own cute screen saver.
E. You will only be allowed to write to your own profile and not the entire C:\ drive.
F. Fantasy football websites are banned. Go infect your own pc on your own time and not mine.
I could write so much more such as banning ebay and amazon and other purchasing sites that are not "company approved" . Some purchasing dept go so low to some sites to buy equipment they do not care if the website hosts malware on them.
Years ago at MLS company where I was newly hired had customer drop by.
The client was unable to install the software that lets them do their MLS searches.
Ok so our head of helpdesk operations went to help out the client.
Let it be known the head helpdesk person had over 4 different certifications relating to Microsoft certification.
She was unable to get the software installed. So she let the 3rd teir support team look at it.
The third tier also failed to get the program installed.
The second teir also failed and the stunned server room admin guy also failed.
Also who was hired was a summer intern. Apretty blonde hair girl at that WOOT!
She is new to the computer world and no certifications what so ever.
So the helpdesk manager let me train her in a simple to understand layman approach to
fixing and repairing computers.
So I got the bad pc that failed with the install.
I was curious as to why it failed.
So i started at the beginning with it off and spoke as I went along.
Booted into the OS then began the install.
Low and behold I got the software installed and working and the summer intern ran out and told the helpdesk manager SHE fixed what nobody else could fix when it was ME who fixed it.
So what was the fix? The 386enhanced button was not enabled.
So the summer intern liar got the praise and not me.
NEVER TRUST A BLONDE girl for the rest of my life.
Also never use T-III software lest you be made a fool of in the IT world.
No matter the language or the tone of language or given the hopes of certain dealings and no matter what is said and done andyou fail to win over clients then it is not the salesmans fault.
Some Bosses keep pushing their products like an MLM strategy. Such as:
"It only works if you truly believe it will work!" Or the:
"Power of postive thought flows through you!"
OK BOSS use your jedi mind tricks on your dog and your new born son and not me ok?
Experts in the fields of giving the sales pitch or better pampering current clients can tell you:
Pressuring current and or future customers = LOST SALES
Makes the salesman look like shyster and a fool who is only wanting a fast buck.
Seems France telecom = pure fail.
Please!!!!!
I am seeing more and more companies that are failing who have CEOS or VP or presidents who are from India and people jump ship because these people from India refuse to listen to ideas!!!!! Either they refuse to listne to new ideas or they shove their ego inflated nonsense to drive contracts away even when already signed!!!! My company just went through this and yes our company has a person from India who is squandering the life of the company away!
I think it is a methodology for people from India to lower the value of a company in order maybe after everyone jumps ship to possibly send the entire operation over to India.
THATS NOT RIGHT!
People in this instance I say Let Steel have their way.
Hardware builders need to learn not to put crappy low quality parts on motherboards PERIOD!
We are tired of seeing blown caps.
Tired of seeing caps sitting close to the CPU so they are always in a cooked state.
Tired of seeing the network interface upside down so close to the case only a needle nose
can pry the plug out. Or you may have to call your 7 year old over and let their agile finger take it out.
Also tired of PC case vendors who never make the right holes for high quality power packs. instead only make holes for low quality power packs and we must drill or tape the power pack to the case to keep it still.
I am still in love with the Antec 900 case but want to fire the guys who designed the part for the hard drive on the same Antec 900 case... Guys.... were yo usmoking crack or loved the idea of blood dripping on motherboards?
The Dell Inspiron laptop I had was the 5100 and it was the first laptop to use a regular
desktop CPU which meant way too much overheating. IT BENT MY MEMORY CHIP!
Grrrr.
Once the duties these apps have performed then its best to uninstall them.
Client at my job site got a new laptop and installed Iolo and I told him not to do it until he runs into a REAL problem. He did not listen and right away did a defrag and registry modification and now doing this everyday his laptop is slow as hell.
He must have OCD for not listening to me.
If you do a video search you will find that the space shuttle is being supprted by Amiga500 computers as the hardware and OS is opensource and is VERY highly configureable thus keepsing costs down greatly.
So I stick my toungue out at you and your fancy that Nasa supports IBM when you are flat out wrong.
This will have shown to be useful only for DAY TRADERS and IT GEEK people.
Possibly others as well that need to check up on security very frequently such as the Intensive Care Unit. Or the owner of a dog that just gave birth.
Hoepfully this will come preloaded with a few cool games.
I use the profiles not for different user but to perform different fucntions.
So I have a:
WORK profile
Gaming profile
Web browsing profile
Research profile
This way I keep my mind focused on the task at hand for what I want to
accomplish without being distracted by different items on the desktop that may tempt me to do something unrelated.
So that is my ULTIMATE DESKTOP SETUP......
Thank you!

CELL PHONE BLOAT WARE:
icons and sound system themes representing the phone company and nothing can never be left alone plain vanilla.
I could really care less about my phone with "ENTER PHONE COMPANY NAME HERE" branding at such system subsystem in the OS such as cell phone and router information.
Grrrr.
I will not count and return infoon how much I own of a competitors product to ensure I meet lic restrictions set forth by MS.
So what if I own a mac based labratory. Its none of MS business.
So what if I own a unix lab.... its none of MS business.
If you ask me how much of unrelated stuff I own then I just mark down ZERO.
One day Microsoft may ask how many non microsoft gaming consoles I own just to buy the xbox360...... SO WHAT!!!!!!!! I really do not care what they think or want to know.
My advice. Lie to them if they think they are getting too nosy.
I can't wait until IPV6 is fully supported by all ISPs.
As I would love to get rid of my router and not get charged extra for having my own ip addresses for all my hardware in my house.. I need like 10 ip addresses for all the stuff I leave on in the house.
Years ago when comcast was still new with the internet they gave as many as y ou needed and now they just give one and charge for extra.
I hope IPv6 will change their current practice.
Stop exporting your sick bees to other countries which spreads sickness!
Soon only one breed will exist and then they will all die.
Same thing will happen with this Seed vault that Bill Gates created to save the worlds seeds from extinction. But that will happen anyway as Bill Gates has allowed companies to copyright the seeds that farmers have beeen using for thousands of years passed down by family generation after generation and now they will be told to stop using their seeds as they are copyrighted. Bunch of bull on boths sides of the food chain.
Complete idiots!
I still do not like their site advisor which can't tell the difference between an intranet site and the internet.
My company uses internal web apps and when they click on the company internal homepage to run their app then the SiteAdvisor hangs supposedly trying to submit an internal link as a internet link to check it out and then the browser crashes.
Pretty bad that they haven't fixed that yet...
But sometimes buyouts are a good thing.
Take the original software title "Q" it was and still is the best network network diagnostic prediction downtime tool. The lead programmer was a total jerk and still over 10 years later
He still owes me $7 and he refuses to pay those people back for lost money.
He did a lunchtime food run and got all the requests on paper and came back with no food and no money. I hope the new company fires him for killing the company atmosphere.
Some day down the road a woman will have copyrighted her babys giggle and will use it as a ring tone and one day some mother will use that ring tone and be sued by the now grown up baby.
Leave well enough alone people geesh!
Everyone is trying to copyright everything.
Soon my farts will be copyrighted.
this is evoloution of warfare.
Even guns took the honor and glory out of war.
The argument here that is being made is:
If you want to kill someone then why not try to see them face to face or are you so gutless with no spine no honor that you must kill without even the slightest chance of getting hurt?
Almost like david vs goliath.
The pencil neck geeks flying remote planes VS ground troops.
There is no honor in killing anymore. It is all propaganda.
When it gets too hot then it crashes even durring talkign on the phone.
What I learned from this is that I must have car windows rolled up and the phone must be clipped onto one of the air vents then within under a minute the iphone will be cool enough to reboot and will work normally.
Microsoft calls this allowable?
Whew let me make up an internet script that will remotely connect to random IP addresses and send the command to turn off UAC all over the internet! YAY this will be so fun and legal since Microsoft wants it this way by design.
Microsoft really does love spooks!
There are differences between being gay and being made gay by industrial poluttion.
You can guage this by the same way people with cancer who put red dots for everyone who has cancer they have found that high density populations are the cause and for also living near companies that pollute the air and dump their waste.
Just think you or your lil johhny or sally could be straight if you lived in the mountain in Denver Colorado or some Highland place where the streams are clean.
There already is documented proof that chemicals make people and frogs give birth to ambigous sexual animal and humans. All this research and you think it belongs to stormfront or the KKK? Ok then go down and drink all the chemical laced products along with your lover and when you have a baby lets see how messed up genetically the baby will be.....
Pretty sad when you think that nobody has ever created the GAY bomb when the research on a GAY BOMB has already been done and tested out in the wild! They just bring the field results back to the military complex and make it more potent.
You silly uneducated fruits!
