    probably a bug

    today's posts used to be showed as TODAY and yesterday's posts as YESTERDAY .. but since the last few weeks its only showing the date .. as in today's post , i.e. this post is shown as 16-01-2009 .. it was better when it showed TODAY,YESTERDAY etc.. as it was more readable!!

    If this thing would have happened to other threads in BSNL broadband list also then i would have acceped the argument of any BUG in the system, but this thing happens with this thread only.
    And its still happening......

    So the only thing I can say about it is
    THIS IS PURE MAGIC.

    I only mean, it's best to continue discussion about this problem on the other thread and not to stop using this thread.

    I feel the predefined options given were not appropriate, as I feel there may many like me who when receive a new distro in linux try that, in such a case cannot select a predefined choice given as ther is no frequency for this.

    I never did that in all my experiences. I something goes wrong I used to figure out the problem and rectify the same without reinstalling. I hope nothing is impossible in linux world though lot of trouble has to be faced.

    If you don't mind, I would like to know about when you bought your first PC and how many kinds of LINUX distros you have used since then !

    Excuse me but OC'ing a P4 isn't easy, escpecially when yo've got "prescott" on ur hands, never said that they wud increase my performances, it's just that since i learn by experience, i darn well keep messing up and learning from it, ussually causing a minor hardware failure.Anyway, i only do this on my old P4, just got Nethalem and ii'm not doing any Major OC's on it...

    I understand, you treat your PC like a lab guinea pig. Even I do that sometimes. lol

    Your arguments are nt convincing ....
    you say that u r still not done getting optimal max OC config for ur Prescott ??

    Its been like how many years since u got that processor ?? [considering that its ur old one]

    Hey hey dude i aint no Tech n00b here ..... I do benchmarking and Overclocking myself ...
    I have never had a 'minor hardware failure' ...... If theres a hardware failure , ur processor goes kaboom ....

    Can u explain how a processor can suffer a partial failure ??


    In fact u ll find a guide about Ocing ur P4 here in this forum ,check who posted that one]
