Well, seeing the poll, they need to immediately rush out and get it!
Exactly!
I'm still using 1.0PR. I thought about upgrading to RC1, but I think I'm just going to wait for the big release on the 9th.

@fyhuang: I pointed him to GoDaddy because they do allow you to point your domain to an IP if you use their default "parked" DNS servers.
Might be a hassle if your IP changes semi-regularly, though.

Yep

Are polls working under IPB2/IPBSDK 1.5?

I tried to do something like this once in DOS, but pretty much gave up.
I know DOS can do for...next loops (or something like it), but am clueless regarding how to implement something. -

The Mandrake installation program *should* allow you to select a hard drive, and then automatically format/partition it.

I don't celebrate Halloween so I'll probably be joining Black Op in front of my computer.
If I were to dress up, I'd probably want to be an elf -- anyone remember Quellion's Nandor unit concepts? Slightly OT: I went to a really fun Fall Festival the other night... 'twas a great time! They had a rock wall (you get in a harness and climb up a semi-fake rock wall - probably about 20 feet high). One of the guys who was running it said I climbed it faster than anyone had so far that night.

I like the fall time change.
Back to GMT-6 here in CST! -
Formatting didn't help me, I formatted the hard drive and the Linux boot menu still came up and complained at me when it couldn't find any files
OT: Yes, the boot loader (I'm assuming it's LILO) will not be erased after a reformat. This should be of assistance to you; I was able to use the "fdisk /mbr" command on my Mom's computer to remove LILO.
Back on topic: I've got a Windows XP SP2 machine (plus an SP1 laptop). I run MS Virtual PC 2004 on my main machine, so I also have a Windows 98SE "machine".

Yes, a while back 0 A.D. was going to use a "hybrid" approach (3D terrain, 2D buildings). Eventually, the decision was made to switch to a completely 3D engine, as everything generally looks better and is more flexible that way.

What does <<<HTML mean? I've never encountered it.
It's heredoc syntax, an easy way to work with large (multiline) strings.

The BootIt NG demo I mentioned does partition resizing in a fairly user-friendly way. I haven't had any problems with it (used it a couple of times when messing with Linux myself). Yes, it does do non-destructive repartitioning (called "resizing" in that app)
You may actually be able to find a cheap used HD on eBay or perhaps the AnandTech For Sale forum. I've bought a couple of items from other members on that forum and haven't had problems. (Most sellers/buyers on the Anandtech forums use a site called HeatWare to track ratings similar to eBay's way of doing seller ratings, so you can check in advance if others recommend a particular seller)
Just some thoughts

Welcome to the forums! Adam has pointed us to some of your work - it looks great!

The easiest way to do this is to get a second hard drive to run Linux off of. Even a smaller (10-20GB) drive will work fairly well, AFAIK.
If you are unable to obtain a secondary hard drive, it's possible to repartition your existing hard drive to create a "Linux partition" to install to. However, I wouldn't exactly recommend this action on a hard drive with important (or un-backed up) data on it. The repartitioning program shuffles a *lot* of data around, and there's always a chance something could get goobered up along the way. (Even more so if working with a boot drive)
A little while ago, I used a program called BootIt NG to repartition a secondary hard drive for a Mandrake installation. The free demo download works well enough for basic partition resizing and such. Apparently, the full version also functions as a boot loader/manager, but I've never tried it.
Many programs can handle OS selection at boot time. Linux comes with a boot loader called LILO that can handle this, though there are many, many other boot manager applications available. I can't vouch for any besides LILO, which I've used very briefly in the past.

I believe I've read that the thin, unshielded cables used for speakers and the like can pick up a close enough signal, as Mark said. You could (theoretically) get some thicker, shielded cables which would most likely take care of the problem.

Are you trying to set up a private or public server? Setting up a public server on a home computer isn't a *great* idea, due to security and practicality issues.
I've got Uniform Server set up on my computer as a private (development) server. I really like how it works (just unpack and run - no installation or registry "dust").
As for domains, the easiest way to get a domain pointing to your IP is with a "dynamic DNS" service such as DynDNS or No-IP (my favorite). Once you register (free), you can set up a hostname such as yourname.no-ip.com and use their client software to automatically update the hostname to your IP when it changes.
If you wanted a "true" domain, you could always register a domain with someone like GoDaddy and point it to your IP. That route is a bit more involved though

I saw it here, though the cloudcover closed in before I saw the "peak".
It did appear red here; we were all discussing why it has that effect (I forgot the cause). Thanks, Matt, you answered our question Nice pics, Dnas!

I have seen a few forums missing the Fast Reply option, and I know Lorian has seen some as well.
If anyone notices a forum with Fast Reply disabled, point it out here and we'll fix it.

Guests aren't shown in the active user list (unless you click the Last Click or Member Name links). As Phillip said, what you're seeing is a search engine. I've seen Googlebot a few times.

Sure we could do it, but we will need some more tags for that, for example
or [java][/java] as
is too broad.
[right][snapback=116671][/right]
Seperate tags wouldn't be that bad, since the [code] tag already displays a "php" graphic in the right side of the code block. For tags like [java] or [html], that could be changed to the correct text

Downloaded the thing, nice find, Natey. Will install it today or tomorrow.
Great
Sounds good.
How do i get this to work

Try this:
