How do I open binary files downloaded from newsgroups?
I downloaded files from some newsgroup but I don't know how to open them up, they seem to have a file extension of .r?? where the ?? is a number. __________________ Just to note you might get more responses in the technical forums.But to answer your question. the r?? files are RAR files you need to d/l a unRAR. it works like Zip. make sure you have all the RAR files. cause it is all together. __________________ Go download winrar. It's a lot better than winzip imo  __________________ answer: only after you have checked them thoroughly for viruses.__________________ thanks to all who respondedMavi forum |

Its a short hair on the sides and long in the back. (see website for pictures)Its more or less a way to poke fun at the people that still where mulletts and their lifestyle. __________________ I can deal with mullets (or hockey hair as we call them) because they're not really all that common where I live.However this bothers me: People without chins. That really freaks me out. Some people are afraid of spiders or heights. I'm afraid of people with no chins. Seriously. If you don't know what I'm talking about look carefully tommorrow at your co-workers or classmates. Guaranteed you know at least one chinless person. Mavi forum |

Runtime errors
I am getting the darn errors too. I have visual studio as well. "Do you want to Debug" __________________ Anyone else getting a million freaking runtime errors on the Apex boards yesterday/today? I get one on EVERY page I view within the boards. SOOOOOO annoying.Who broke something? __________________ nope, but I have noticed that this site has been really slow lately.__________________ yup i got errors also__________________ I've only gotten errors on my computer at work which is using IE 5.0.__________________ Yeah. I'm getting the same errors as you guys. Its one on every page and two on every reply page. I believe you only get the errors if you have any Microsoft Development Software installed. Anybody else think this is the case? My errors ask me if I want to debug, and then it takes me into a Microsoft Development Environment program (I have Microsoft Visual Studio). I believe it may be a problem with the ads on the pages, but I have nothing to back that up with, and I'm too lazy to check. __________________ I'm using IE 5.5..

Reviewers needed at Got|Apex?
Alright folks we are currently trying to recruit 2 reviewers. You must be at least 18 years old and you need to shoot me a writing sample. Maybe review something you have laying around, like your girlfriend, wife etc, be very detailed __________________ I assume you're talking about technical reviews i.e., computer products? If not, then I'm interested, but I simply don't have the requisite expertise to do that type of thing.__________________ i'll get in a review of something soon darth... seriously, count me in. just give me a couple days to round something up.__________________ Sample Review, what do you guys think?Hey Darth, this is Y2J, the ayatollah of rock and rollah. I am here before you today with a review. Nah, its more of a Anandtech review. Just kidding, folks, WinME is on the horizon, and I have all the gritty details for you, from the greatly expanded Help section to the All-New and redesigned Start-Up screen. Yes, we have all been looking forward to this with the hope that it will improve our PC's performance. Rumor has it the Microsoft wants out computers to start in 30 seconds. That means less time staring at the new and improved WinME splash screen. Disappointed? You shouldnt be, on the horizon for Win98, but already included in WinME, is Media Player 7. MP7, as its knows by us 'inside' workers, comes with skins, that not only change the colors of the player, but also may change the shape completely. Let me explain, the "Headrush" skin gives the user a view of a green man's bald skull. But instead of a shiny bald spot, we see a small video screen where either movies play or audio visualzations swing to the beat of your favorite MP3. Also, the start menu allows more customizing than earlier versions on Windows. The control panel, printers, and dial-up netowrking are all expandable from the start menu. That means, that instead of clicking on the Printers icon and opeing the folder with explorer, you can see all of your printers while browsing your start menu. I can hear the ooh's and aah's now. I bet most of you cant wait to get your hands on this baby. But wait, and yes there is more. The Windows Movie Maker, actualy a useful program, lets you takes parts of an AVI, add sound, change the order around, etc. Very easy to use as well. It also comes with a Scanner and Digital Camera Wizard, which includes (up to June 28th) the newest camera and scanner drivers. Also, USB support is increased as brand new joy-mice work out of the box. Another extremely import item included out of package is the Windows Millennium Edition Preview. This includes an introduciton to the Media Player as well as some other very importand tips and tricks for use with your new OS. Got any questions?

Blizzard needs QA Game Tester
Blizzard has posted a job opening for a QA game tester on their website. This position is at their Irvine, CA facility. This has got to be a dream job for many people out there, including me. Anyway, go to http://www.blizzard.com/jobopp/qa-gametester.shtml for more info. |
thread closed??
i just went to check out the buying cars in virginia topic and found a thread closed sign over the post a response button. what's up with that? __________________ Check up on the post by the moderator.he/she accidently closed it. __________________ att: yup. It does matter what car you buy, however. Say you buy an M-class: no duty because it's American made. However, if you buy a CLK, it's made in Germany, so there WILL be a hefty duty. The Odessey's duty free, the BMW Z depends on which VIN's...you kind of have to check the build origin.I could help you out with it if you were interested, e-mail me. The only problem I see with that is that you have to pay the taxes up front. HOWEVER, so long as you live outside of canada (which I assume) you can get the GST (7%) back in full. Think of it as a rebate. If you buy in BC (west coast) you can get the provincial sales tax back so long as you sell the car. Pretty tricky, but I've done it twice now. __________________ wont you have to pay some pretty large taxes when the car is registered in the states? i thought i heard that they made a law to tax people who tried to buy cars for less by leaving the country, or even just for driving to say arizona from california. if not, you could probably go to a state with no sales tax and walk away pretty cheap.__________________ See, that's the thing, I haven't yet registered my car here, so I don't know what the story is there...I assume if you live in Oregon or something, you're scot free. I mean, still, you'll be paying the tax on it anyways. If you can get the car a coupla grand below what you were going to pay for it anyway, the tax is a non-issue.Mavi forum |
Passed Proxy Server 2.0 Today! I AM MCSE FINALLY!
Hi folks-just was so excited that i passed my last exam today and became MCSE today. What a way to start the weekend huh? For all those that have been emailing me about certfication I have responded. Sorry for the lateness, but I havent checked that box in a while. I will check it daily now. Good luck to all pursuing certification and job hunting!! __________________ Congrats on the certification! I an half way there on mine. I take my 4th test(enterprise) in a week. Are you going for the Windows 2000 tests now or Cisco? __________________ congrats skyjuice and good luck to you bvalkor!!__________________ i think i am going to get that Network+ as well-its one test, i figured what the heck if I can get a cert out of it. Then I think Cisco or Win2k from there.__________________ Major congrats!!!! __________________ skyjuicewhat is the Network+ test you speak of ------------------ When I become King of the World, I will do away with TCP/IP and install a global network of talk pipes. There will also be jeffries tubes in which ferrets will run message envelopes. __________________ LOL-Wiggen Boy- "jeffries tubes" Star trek- LOL-Network + brand new cert. from comptia.org ya know like A+. __________________ I hear tales of the network + test being pretty simple, although for $180, I don't know if I really want to find out. I think if you have MCSE, N+ is kind of a moot point. Proxy 2, interesting choice for an elective. I'm suprised you didn't opt for the IIS to get the MCP + I and only have to do 2 more for MCSE + I, since you did the TCP/IP. Congratulations!! now you can start boning up on win2k if you want to keep it. __________________ I passed my networking essentials test a couple weeks back, it wasnt that bad. I have a question about the other tests. Do you think i can pass the NT server / workstation / enterprise exams without having the software. I'm at home and its really hard to find NT 4.0 and at 300+ a ccpy, buying it isnt a option. Do you thinki'll pass if i just study the books?------------------ ~Grizy Great, so how much is shipping? __________________ Well Grizzly,I mean i loaded NT server and Proxy2.0 on top of that at home on my old p2350. I used it at hoe to install NT server, create accounts, home directories-i practiced permissions and right with it. ITs really a good idea to load NT server by yourself- you will learn a hell of alot doing it that way. Grizzly-Get an eval copy of NT server- ITs for 90 days. I might still have mine,i never loaded it. [This message has been edited by skyjuice (edited 07-12-2000).] __________________ quote: I hear ya- more certs the better, is what i am thinking. I figire NETWORK+ like the A+ is a lifetime cert- Forget the money it costs to take the exams- You'll always make that back at your job. Your resume is KEY-Certs are key, but better than certs is experience. I am finding that i am having trouble getting a job cause i do not have admin experience. I am 2nd level software support right now at a major East Coast copany. IM trying to get away from end users-that is why i made the MCSE and A+. I think I am going to get my CNA ( one exam) Network + and then start boning on Novell. As far as the +I designation after MCSE. The NT4.0 trak is retiring as we all know and Microsoft said that in the Win2k track- there will be no +I distinction or designation because they feel that it is integrated in the curriculum. That is whi bailed the whole +I idea. __________________ Grizzly:Not to burst your bubble, but the Net Ess test is as easy as they come. They are a LOT harder after that, I don't even know why that test is administered to tell you the truth. It's best to be able to have at least two computers to be able to set up a home lab to run stuff. If you're just starting the track, I HIGHLY suggest you just abandon the nt4.0 track and go w/the nt2000 track. The W2K tests are live now and its basicly a complete waste of time, money and energy putting any effort towards mcse nt4.0. As far as s/w: I recommend the HOT kit from microsoft (hands on training). You get full copies of win2k pro, server and advanced server for $129. It also includes some online training which I didn't do, but looks ok. Sky, I looked for over a year for my first admin job. I did turn down a couple of offers that were either GU (geographically undesirable) or FU, but eventually I got "lucky" and got a job through a friend. Definately the BEST way to get a job!! I think I'm going to get my A+ cert next and then start working on the win2000 series. I am so fLIcking mad @ uSoft for doing it this way, but I guess it will weed out a bunch of "paper MCSE's" (hopefully not myself!!) and make the cert that much more benefi$ial. BTW, look for the evil empire to release W2k SP1 later this month. It's only a 250Mb patch. Cheers! __________________ Good info phlick- I dont know-I am getting real frustrated-I have 3 years experience doing phoe support tat involves some networking and I have A+ and MCSE- I just cant make the leap from end user nightmare to Desktop Support. I did get a call today for help desk through this agancey today and the pay was decent, like 20 an hour. The lady was all, resume looks good, you have alot of good qulaifications. Havent heard anything yet though. I hate end users! This why I need to get a Desktop Support position. I agree though, Win2k will be key for the future. I am going to take a break though. I want my CNA though. A+ is a breeze dude-youll do fine-__________________ Phlick, is the HOT kit only available through microsoft or will i find it at barnes and nobles and other places???, like places online? COUPONS!!!!------------------ ~Grizy Great, so how much is shipping? __________________ phlick- good pep talk man-. Cause right now, i am like. This sucks, I did all this for nothing, i biuld , live eat, sleep and breather certifications, computers-work all day with connection issues with end users and i sucks. I will keep trucking however. I just hate the job i am in right now.__________________ griz...The HOT kit is a msoft direct access product available through them ONLY. You can get the product here: http://www.microsoft.com/directacces...it/win2000.asp However it is currently out of stock, so try back later I guess. This is the CHEAPEST legal copies of ms w2k available. (with a few rare exceptions.. I hear Univ of Texas students get any ms product for $5.00 a CD for example...) There are also HOT kits for office 2000 for $99 which isn't too bad either. 120 day eval copies are available in a some books, although I don't know any off the top of my head. As far as getting MCSE w/out ever loading up windows NT or W2k, it is possible, but I don't recommend trying it. You learn way more from dinking around with it then from any book. You need to be able to get a feel for it and where to go to find the tools/info you need. A lot of the commands that are commonly used in windows 2000 / NT4 are not available to w9x. It's a totally different OS. __________________ [quote]Originally posted by skyjuice:[b]I dont know-I am getting real frustrated-I have 3 years experience doing phone support that involves some networking and I have A+ and MCSE..

Maybe you can install Advanced server as server.Geoff __________________ ".. I think the MS Hot Kit only has Advanced Server not normal server. It only has 2 cds.

I don't have the kit in front of me here @ work, but it has all three OS's on their own disks, plus at least 2 training disks and maybe a "sales kit" disk as well. It's a really really sweet deal. The only version it doesn't have is Data Center Server, and that isn't released yet. (look for it in the next couple of weeks though.. about the same time as SP-1) As far as training materials, the "official" training track from MS is in distribution now and being administered at Certified MS facilities. Exam Cram has just released the W2K series, which was probably the best series as far as I am concerned for NT4.0, and the series I will first pick up when I'm ready to update to win2k cert. Good Luck!!!!! __________________ actually, now that I look at the MS HOT kit website it says:The Hands-On Training (HOT) Kit Program is currently under evaluation. We want to determine whether or not the HOT kit is the best vehicle to meet your training needs as well as supporting Microsoft initiatives and strategies.

The "test" is like $1200 and is 2 days, one day is in the lab and one day is paper test, although this could be for the CNE, I'm not sure as there are at least 3 different certifications. MCSE and A+ should be able to get you where you want to go right now. I would wait and persue Cisco certification when you can get your employer to pay for it!!

I think it may be like Micro$oft where you you get your MCP with one test type thing but i am not entirely sure. I checked out Novells website and it looks that way. I just need to know from the peanut gallery which one is best to prepare for. I have this awesome testing software that has like over 6000 questions in it and i love it cause it helped me pass Proxy 2.0 and Network+. Incidentally it has a ton of Novell testing software in it so i figured what the hell, get the CNA. (be well rounded). Does anyone know what exam is wise to take for CNA? __________________ What is Novell?hehe. __________________ Hey skyjuice,Don't bother with CNA. You won't need it - Novell is losing more & more market share to MS & *NIX shops. If you want another USEFUL cert, start studying Cisco.

I had question guys. I recently bought a MD player/recorder and I was wondering how you guys record from computer to your md player. Are you guys doing it analog. I found out you can do it using a pc link. Is this true and if so where could I get one? And aslo what does the s/pdif on my sound card do? Can you hook up the Md player to that and record? If so what kind of cable would i need for that?

I just got my toss link with mini adapters and i still don't understand how to connect it to my computer to record from my computer to my md.

Do i need some kind program to record using optical or am i just messing it up here. Please help. flinstone __________________ The s/pdif port you're talking about is a coaxial digital port, toslink is fiber optics. Two different types of digital inputs. So, you'll need to get the live drive II for toslink or get a convertor from toslink to coaxial digital.__________________ the s/pdif is a Dolby Digital signal for Dolby digital receivers for surround sound. So far, the best set of speakers we have for use in conjuction w/ the Live is a set of 5.1 surrounds.

I dont know what is more annoying, when people post something in the wrong place, or when people keep moving it to the top by replying just to tell them it's in the wrong place. I think the problem is that a lot of people are just in a hurry to start posting and never bother looking at the rules. It may be more work than it is worth but it might be possible to eliminate some of the problem by changing the "post a new topic" page. What if you could make it so that there were some radio buttons (the kind where you are only allowed to click one of several options) where you had to pick what best descirbed your post. Have options like "post a deal", "request a deal", "post a referal", ect. Then automaticaly post the topic in the correct forum based on the response. Given it would still be easy enough to post in the wrong form but it would almost have to be intentional to do so. You could even put simple discriptions like *Post a deal (no referals). It wouldnt eliminate the problem and it might not even be worth the trouble but at least it would make it more obvious for new users. Also you could feel better about locking or deleting threads knowing that if they are in the wrong spot it is probably intentional.

Is it true that Virginia has the lowest car prices?
I live in Detroit and work in the automotive industry. We see more and more used car buyers coming in from Canada. They can mark them up quite a bit when they sell even when paying tariffs and taxes. __________________ Is it true that Virginia has the lowest car prices? If so are the used car dealers over there safe?(Honest and other good stuff)------------------ ~Grizy Great, so how much is shipping? __________________ Depending on what type of car you're looking for (i.e., made in the states or not) canada has BY FAR the cheapest cars around. I can get anyone a Durango for about $5-$7G's less than you can in California, at least, don't know about other states.Mavi forum |
FYI - XBR400 finally released
I think a few people were interested in waiting for the new 400 model to come out. Anywaz, I just saw it advertized on Crutchfield's newest catalogue so just wanted everyone to be informed. Though it is $500 more than I expected it to be. __________________ OK, I take it these are not the WEGA models, but the models one step lower?__________________ These would be the higher end models of the WEGA's.I believe I've seent he lowest 36" Wega for as little as $1200. Maybe even less. [This message has been edited by Doofy (edited 07-19-2000).] __________________ Besides the difference in the options (ie: 2 tuners vs 1 and I/O options) is there any difference in the high end vs low end WEGAs as far as picture quality? (when was the last time I used my PIP or that spare couple sets of RCA jacks on my current set anyway..... ????)__________________ So how much does a 25" go for, Doof?__________________ These new 400 models are HDTV ready. Which I learned in an earlier posts, means you can buy the HDTV decoder to add on to the TV. The older models are not HDTV ready.How much does a 25" go for?? Dunno. I don't think they make it. The XBR models only come in 32" and 36" last I checked. Even the regular Wega line doesn't have 25", only 21" and 27" I believe. If you want prices on those, someone on this board suggested to go to pricescan.com. The new 400 models aren't even listed in Pricescan yet so don't bother with that. __________________ quote: I think this new model has 4 S-Video jacks. And you can Zoom in/out of either PIP. I know. To some it seems like a useless option. But for others, it's just nice to know you have an option even if you don't use it. __________________ Thanks for the info, I'm looking at what I assume is a 27" for about $410. I'm interested in the bigger ones, I wonder how low I can get those for. I'd be getting a very small quantity, FYI, so I guess we'll just do an auction or something if I can get them more cheaply than $1200.__________________ doofy-Where was it you saw the 36" for $1200? I've been seeing them for around $1500. If the new boxes are HDTV ready then $2500 seems like a pretty good price. Are you sure that they are not merely "digital" tv's? Most all of the HDTV sets I've seen have been over 4 large, and projection screen at that, I don't think I've seen any CRT HDTV sets, although I really haven't been out pounding the streets looking for one. Also, how much are HDTV decoders going for now? (ballpark) Thanks! __________________ quote: For a little while on pricescan.com they had the XBR model250 for $1600 which is pretty cheap. The lower end WEGA, FV series I think, normally sells for around $1400-$1500. But I have seen them for as low as $1200 once. Forgot what site though. Do a search on the forums for TV, cause someone here had given me that site name. Also, the description on the crutchfield catalogue indeed does say HDTV ready. And a salesmen at the SONY BLDG here in NY also confirmed that with me around a month ago. I'm not sure how much the decoder boxes cost though. I'm not really in the market to buy one. I just wanted my next TV to be HD ready. Doesn't make sense to spend so much on a TV and not have it "ready" for the next 10 years. Mavi forum |

extra maglites
who has too many maglites and wants to give me one __________________ I am still waiting on mine.__________________ Someone here got NINE or something from SAS. Don't remember who, though.

Now, I've posted on this before, so let me be clear before I get flamed I did the admirable thing, and I only signed up once. I don't know what the problem was, but I got 6 in one day. Honestly, please don't take this the wrong way, but I intend to keep them. I've given one to each of my parents, one to a friend, and one to my g/f.

Best Search Engine
I just wanted to see what search engine everyone uses. __________________ Yup, google is very accurate at finding junk. I find yahoo finds stuff that isn't crap.

Attention PENNYPINCH
quote: Thanks a lot, pennypinch. Ungrateful bastards like you make me sick. Perhaps Maggie and I should both stop posting altogether. I bet the two of us are much more productive and succesful at finding and posting great deals than you are. I'm sure the members of this board would agree. Perhaps you should be more careful with your statements in the future. __________________ Oh, and by the way Pennypinch, which free crappy posts of mine did you hate most? Could it be the free CDs, the free t-shirts, the free food, the free Biowire Laser Pointer, the free $90 Picnic Backpack (from Nissan), the free $50 GC (from Oldsmobile), or maybe the free pair of Motorola Talkabout radios (from Buick)? The list goes on and on...not to mention the numerous coupon code posts as well (dSports, B&N, buy.com, etc). And I, for one, greatly appreciate Maggie's posts and do not consider them to be crap at all. You have taken the joy out of visiting this site, Pennypinch. This used to be a friendly place where people could unselfishly share good deals and provide requested information/assistance to others. I really hope there are no others on this site like you. __________________ Agreed, don't take what pennypinch said ugly. I'm sure the majority are behind me when I say that you and Maggie are greatly aprreciated. Heh, I really like that little laser pointer I got the other day  . ------------------ And at band camp. . . http://www.geocities.com/bandtour99 __________________ Dang I disappear for a couple of days and everyone is at each others throats now. But seriously...Penny you need to take a chill pill man. Ugly and Maggie do find some VERY good deals. Ugly has pulled some great freebies from all around. He listed some of them above. Maggie has always posted great deals. I myself love the mypoints links she has a nack of finding. To Ugly and Maggie...keep up the good work. ~NiceMann __________________ Thanks guys. Oh...and that laser pointer goes like 2-3 blocks. Unbelievable! __________________ I agree with all, I am truly contrite for some very hastily typed comments (a function, I'm sure, of typing while at work). I'd like to apologize for characterizing your posts as crappy; they certainly, as your second post elucidates, are not only samples of nair or pet weight loss programs. I don't even know if those were yours, but by "crappy", I meant freebies of the smaller variety, as opposed to normal gift certificates or deals of the more conventional variety. Please accept my sincerest apologies: there was no ill will inteneded at all to any of the three of you.I would take issue with one statement. I am not a sole reason that some of the joy of visiting this board has disappeared. I've been here for close to a year now, and have really seen a market transformation. I can't put my finger on it. Perhaps it is fond recollection viewed through rosy coloured glasses, but I remember a better time. Again, sorry. __________________ Maybe its just me, but I think all this hate is coming out because its getting "crowded" in the forums. There's about 2600 members now!------------------ And at band camp. . . http://www.geocities.com/bandtour99 __________________ No problem, Pennypinch. All of us tend to have our off posts! lol I know I did awhile back!But yeah, I agree that things have changed in here with deals and all. Last Christmas (Dec. 99) I was able to buy X-mas gifts for all of my family and my husband's family for about $50. Not too bad! Now, there seems to be an abundance of free t-shirts, and some $$ off coupons for high minimum purchase. I'm betting a lot of that is due to companies wising up, but... Anyway, just my 2 cents! __________________ Yeah, spidey, and I've noticed that a lot of members are new - in the last two weeks. I actually noticed an increase of over 50 members one day! I don't know if "hatred" can be attributed to lots of people, though!Look, so long as we aim to avoid Anandtech-ness, we'll be okay. Maybe it won't be exactly like before, but that's not always neccessarily bad or wrong. __________________ My gosh! ugly and MaggieOK - I love your deals keep them on! __________________ hehhe,.... one post for the road...Sim __________________ hehhe,.... one post for the road...Sim __________________ dun listen to anyone.just keep on posting free things. anything free is good.someone gotta take it even if its crap.__________________ Rah Rah Rah for Ugly and Maggie!!!
