  1. I just realised Not Safe For Work still hasn't been fully explained. Let me try:

    Basically if you work in an office, your internet is shared and that means your employer can check what you're looking at. They are also well within their rights to sack you if you are looking at inappropriate material.

    NSFW is a designation put before linking to other websites or emails or other content on the internet that if downloaded/viewed may cause you to lose your job or at least place heavy doubt on whether your internet use should be suspended.

    Basically it's a heads up that you should probably save the link and check it once you're home.

  2. NSFW?

    Sorry I'm an old fart.

    already said, but not safe for work!

    OK now I'm even more confused! Is he slammin' my cans? 'Cause I'm not above bitch slappin' his ass! :P

    no, not at all. see below.

    He's saying they're a little too... sexy... :rofl:

    too right!

  3. The laptop I bought for my gf off of small business was significantly cheaper than the same speced consumer version.

    o rly, sometimes there's overlap but generally business costs more because you're paying for service and "stability" as opposed to cutting edge features like fairy dust.

    Also, I know from personal experience my Lenovo came with XP home, and supported both of my cores.

    I think you're right there, dual cores are still counted as one CPU. so Home is ok, 2 physically separate CPU packages is not supported.

    Windows XP Professional can support up to two processors regardless of the number of cores on the processor. Microsoft Windows XP Home supports one processor.

  4. Isn't that true about everyone? The tech support is the "front line", so it will always be any tech companies main source of gripes.

    possibly, but for dell asia pacific, they moved all the support to bangalore india and there were a lot of complaints about their english being ineligible

    the malaysians in penang were a bit better but they only handled sales enquiries!

    i don't know if it's still the case now, but IBM and HP still had native english speaking call centres

  5. no it doesn't necessarily mean you have 2 x CPUs

    it could be one of the Pentium 4s with "hyper threading" which shows up as 2 CPUs but is only one CPU, one core but they take advantage of the rise and fall of the CPU cycle or some crap.

    if it's pentium D it's dual core, but not necessarily 2 different CPUs but that's better than a hyperthreading

    they made hyper threading CPUs all the way up to 3.0Ghz if i remember correctly, so since yours is 2.8Ghz it could be hyper threading or Pentium D since Pentium Ds were first made in 2.8Ghz variants

    best way to find out is with cpu-z as suggested above

    to take advantage of dual CPU/dual core you need the professional variants of Windows eg. NT4.0, Windows 2000 professional or above, Windows XP Pro, dunno about vista

    XP home, and windows 95/98/ME will not take advantage of dual core and dual CPU. seeing as it's showing up as 2 then you're already running a suitable OS

  6. Didn't really like the HF-1 with flats. Sounded too muddy and the bass was flabby. Bowls was better in the clarity/bass tightness but then the highs were too fatiguing. Guess I'm just not a Grado man =\
