Being sociable doesn't mean not being romantic. The key thing is to not deceive oneself. Pay attention to what goes on around you, learn how to be perceptive, and most important listen to what she says. Complements also go over well, just don't lay it on too thick.

To be honest, I never knew that CPU terminators existed until I came to this forum. I knew that Rambus memory needs a terminator to function at all if you don't fill all the RAM slots...but that's another topic for another thread. Thankfully, I never had to work with Rambus either. :P It's like any …

The MPU401 interface requires something connected to the card, either an external device or a daughterboard. Windows implements a software MIDI synthesizer which outputs via PCM (WAV type audio), although there are better and more versatile options out there. The FM synthesizer interprets MIDI data …

I'm actually not worried about it. All I know it that it works in MS-DOS and in Windows 98 without problems (and quite well, might I add). Fair enough. I'm just trying to make clear for other readers that proper termination is important and they shouldn't expect stability without. If it works …

But you're still doing work at school. My point is that if your plan backfires on you, you're still going to run into this person frequently. I don't see a problem in this. I've banged a girl from work and we see every day, it's fine. I've also hit on other girls from work who didn't warm up, it's …

Here's the interesting part...I don't have a terminator card in the second CPU slot and the system works just fine. There have not been any BSODs or hangs at all...even with the weird RAM amount. Should I worry about this or should I not try to fix something that's not broken? Likely a happy …

Some YMF-71x ISA cards incorporate OPL4 (usually a YMF-704) and can therefore do MIDI directly, but most require either an external device or a wavetable daughterboard. The cheapest and most versatile way to make this work is to provide MIDI playback via a second computer. The cleanest way is to …

I'll give you a concrete example. DOSMID contains a MIDI interpreter which outputs sound via the OPL2 or OPL3 chipset using a software based conversion engine, but it's primary purpose is stream MIDI data out through a SB Pro / MPU401 UART to a wavetable daughterboard, external MIDI device, or an …
