Re: [CGUYS] Considering Verizon fios
Yep, I wonder what is up with that. This is a Mac computer wired directly into the hub with about thirty feet of cat Cat5- Could the Cat 5 be it? Not likely. Cat-5 is 10 Mbps. Way above what you are looking at. And a bad wire would limit you equally in both directions. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Ignore it. It's not harming anything or taking up resources. Leave it alone. It may also be some driver needed by some program, which might explain why it keeps coming back when you try to delete it.

Re: [CGUYS] Win7 walk-through

Re: [CGUYS] Win7 walk-through
You are exactly right. This radical departure is just claptrap from MS's PR department. Nothing to do with engineering. The WFBs just lap it up and tell us how great the next Windows version will be. They also tell us of the greatness of Vista -- except that it has been so much misunderstood. It won't be until just prior to W7 shipping that MS and the WFBs will start spreading the word that Vista is crap and you should start lining up for W7. W7 will then be the one that is really good. It will have special sauce. Yes, we see this same cycle every time. Remember when they told us that Win ME was the really, really good one?

Re: [CGUYS] Win7 walk-through
I do question if the testing they will get in house will be as effective as a large number of outside testers. There will be beta tests of components but not of the really half done things that have been released to bets before. But nothing is half done. The stuff that wasn't delivered to the developers last week is done, it just wasn't in the build that we got. Everything was demoed and is operational already. I'd characterize what they're doing now as tweaking rather than coding. So, it appears that there will be plenty of time for the very large number of beta users to work on everything. Win7's development cycle is very, very different from Vista's. As anecdotal evidence of this, I am now using Win7 as my primary OS. I could *never* have done that with the first version of Vista that we got. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Randall Sure, it makes sense. The sound volume is stored in CMOS RAM, so that it is effective (operative) during the boot process, before the OS has loaded. If the motherboard battery is low, the data stored in CMOS RAM is lost before the next boot. Dead motherboard batteries cause all kinds of ills. Replacement of the motherboard battery is easy on modern motherboards. And the battery is relatively cheap. Just do it and see what happens.
