It has already been added, but what you're requested is not in 1.51. '\saves\' is an absolute path.. you need a '.' preceding the first '\' to make it relative. Yes, that is what I meant, thanks for not misinterpreting it and being a total dick. Fact 1. We are not mindreaders. Fact 2. We have no kn...

ugh. you're carelessly tossing around incorrect terms. the network would be using "Ethernet II framing" if it was your "modem" that was not compatible, why would a driver on your PC do anything to tell it how to handle and create the necessary frames? If you're speaking of an ana...

It says something about the intelligence and childishness of average Americans who persist in using "feet" etc to measure things instead of catching up with the rest of the world in using the metric system. To use an example, are we using a baby's foot or a basketballer's (probably negro)...

probably not. the software wouldn't have any idea of the underlying analog video output signal or the sound amplifiers. Same thing would be that there would be no knowledge contained in the source code how to build the controllers or how exactly the controllers work (how the signals travel down the ...

I wish one of the Taiwanese knockoff companies would make a pin-compatible drop-in MRAM or FeRAM replacement chip.

That way, the whole dead battery situation is resolved.

basically nobody at Microsoft is willing to touch the file copying portion of code for Windows. And no, the reason isn't because "it works fine the way it is". It's essentially gone untouched since Windows 95.

I guess so.
Not really a problem, because "impedance matching" for home A/V equipment is a lie anyways.

Don't buy the car unless you have a friend check out the mechanics. In my experience, 400 dollar cars can end up costing many times over what you initially paid (in terms of parts and labor) to pass a safety or to just keep the damn thing running. Upon trying to sell my car a few years back, I love...

Am I that tone-deaf? I don't really notice any humming or distortion with the Realtek AC97 on my DFI LanParty board.
