  • Dual Monitor FAQ Updated

    Published: Thursday, November 8, 2001 | By: Dennis

    I got a question the other day about dual desktops using a GeForce3 and GeForce2 MX PCI. Normally you wouldn't think this to be a problem but for some strange reason the video driver likes to "hide" the second display adaptor from view instead of jumping right to it.

    This is a pretty interesting interview in that it covers some of the current issues with Intel and their products. I think everyone will like this quote. "If you put large tires on a Pinto, it is still a Pinto." big grin smile

    Good tech news is getting hard to find these days, which is kind of strange considering the time of year. I suppose we can blame it on what I will call "The Tech Slowdown Syndrome". or TTSS for short.

    Something I saw over at the OCP today got me thinking. What if you could have a dual-homed server that only used one NIC? As it would turn out Intel is all over that.

  • .NET Application beats Java

    Published: Thursday, November 1, 2001 | By: Dennis

    It is an age-old battle, what is better VB or Java. Of course the hard cores in each camp have their own opinions on the subject and it is amazing how with just a few tweaks things can get faster for either side.

I'd be happy to review it! big grin smile

    Sony tells enthusiasts that they have no right to post on their site the method by which one can hack Aibo. The hack will allow a programmer to make Aibo do things other than what the original programmers had intended.
