Your computer may not do anything if the video card isn't seated properly
(or, in your case, if it isn't in the machine at all). The two power cables
from the power supply to the motherboard are a big deal (the black wires on
both cables should be in the middle), but RAM isn't. You can at least see
the BIOS screens without any RAM at all. Also, since you replaced the power
supply yourself, you may have hooked up the power button on the case
improperly. Check that, and if nothing else works, pray... :)

Rather than be an asshole, wouldn't it be more productive to offer the man
some useful information on using the advanced search options on most of
the better search engines? If you're not going to help someone, shut the fuck
up. Or is that your thing? Do you just like to find someone's information
shortcomings and use that to your advantage in some feeble method of
boosting your own self esteem? Those testosterone pills you're taking are
doing more than just growing hair on your back...

He's using the ATX form factor. ATX uses a single power connector that
can not be plugged in wrong. What you said was right on the money had
he been using one of the older AT style boards.
BTW, since his original post, his trouble has been located and remedied.

What's wrong with just being there? If it didn't have a different title but
was the end of the previous song, it would just an instrumental section. It
doesn't have to be an intro or an ending. I think the album flows really
nicely from Home into TDoE. TDoE flows right into One Last Time. It's a sort
of bridge section. A non-vocal part. I can't help thinking of concept albums
in an "rock opera" (for lack of a better term) sense. Picture this being
played out on stage. This would a dance - I guess, based on the title :). Or
maybe not a dance. If it's a movie, then this is one of those sections where
stuff is happening and there's music but no dialog.
Ooops, they just ran into some old time saloon :\. Wait, back outside in the
alley - obviously running from something. This bass solo must be a fight
scene where the bass player kicks some ass :).

I think he responded so strongly because the post he was responding to was
so strong in the first place. Maybe it's a bit of eye for an eye... *shrug*
That wouldn't make it right, but I think it would erode the suggestion that
he posted that just for kicks. Just my two buckazoids.

I haven't heard the LTE stuff but I imagine it's sort of meant to be
self-indulgent. I doubt anything anyone does is supposed to be dull and
lifeless though.
I really love SFaM. I find it all great. OK, I tend to skip Regression
because I get quickly annoyed listening to 30 seconds of the shrink - I want
to hear some music. But the whole album is really great. I certainly don't
find it dull and lifeless. I'd love to get some more detailed info about how
it's dull and lifeless but it's probably just a personal opinion thing that
can't be expressed. I find it powerful and full of energy - certainly not
lifeless. I never listen to music in a simply technical way ("at" it). It
has to be good or why listen to it? It's just a study if it's purely
technical and this album is far from an etude!
I think SFaM has plenty of technical parts that really shred but they also
groove. The music all feels great. I love it :). I don't know. It's baffling
to think that someone would love Awake and not this. But I'm a bit freaky.
IMO, there are no bad Rush albums. I love the first Rush album. I guess I
get that way. I love WDADU too. SFaM is just what I would expect from DT and
it's awesome.

A bit has been said about Jordan Rudess. I just want to throw in my vote way
in favor of him. I like his playing. Like right now in the beginning of
Finally Free with that nice piano. But all over this album. Although I liked
Derek's playing (still trying to get the scoop on his departure), I found
him too, I don't know, organ-ish. I guess I felt that his style was more
metal/Hammond Organ than a style that is more like DT. Whatever, he was a
good player and so is Jordan. I like him a lot. Nice solos, cool voices. I
think we all liked Kevin Moore a lot and I think Jordan is more in the Kevin
Moore style.

Actually, I view The Dance of Eternity as kind of an Entr'acte in a rock
opera - it's an indtroductory piece for the second act by the orchestra.
The only problem with this view is that Home is right in front of it - but
it could be viewed as an introduction to the second act as well, since the
REAL second half takes place in the present, when Nicholas is saying "This
doesn't make any sense, this tragic ending." The first half is when
Nicholas finds out about the murder, and the second half of the opera is
when he tries to find out WHY it happened.
Seems like a pretty logical explanation to me.

A few people had asked about the new Yes album, so....
I like it. A lot. It's difficult to find a place for this album in terms
of Yes' long evolving history, but I'd say it feels closest to maybe
Tormato, though I certainly prefer The Ladder to Tormato, for what it's
worth. That is, it doesn't have epic extended pieces like Close to the
Edge or Relayer, but it also isn't as pop-oriented as Rabin-era stuff.
Certainly, it's got Jon Anderson on it, so a couple of songs have his
I-love-the-world happy joy feel to them... you'll never lose that, I
think. But the album has a VERY fresh, high-energy feel to it that I
thought was utterly lacking on Open Your Eyes and, to some extent, Talk.
The harmonies are lush, Howe's sound is as distinct as ever, and Squire
stnads forward in the mix with more aggressive basslines than we've seen
in recent years. In that respect, the music is quite reminiscent of the
classic material from the early to mid-70s.

Hmm, but what happens if flailing wildly *is* the artistic statement? If going
on an extended flail-a-thon is the point, it would be counterproductive to
make such
a section, as you put it, concise. With prog and its bastard son prog metal,
it would seem that the adjective "concise" is one to be avoided like a copy
of a mythical "Roseanne sings Pavarotti" disc...

Andreas,
That's all ya had to say! I voiced my opinion on those albums and YOU were
the one that responded to MY original comments. All you had to say from the
start was that you didn't like those albums. That's fine by me.The comment
about them turning into women is odd though. That's not a very constructive
argument even for thirdgraders. I personally don't listen to a band because
of their looks, but that's another argument. End of story here too. Have a

I didn't say I didn't >like< SFaM. It's just that some parts of the album
(after my 50th listen or so) have started to become ho-hum. Particularly
the parts I mentioned. I'll flat out state that James' vocal parts
absolutely make the album for me. The instrumental parts in between are
only a lingering wait between James' next part. Alot of DT's instrumental
shit really rocks, don't get me wrong. I love Hell's Kitchen, Ytsejam,
Erotomania, Eve, et al, but all of those songs had a cohesiveness to them
that I don't think is matched as well on SFaM. To me, they ended up
throwing too many pointless sections and unabbreviated riffs for the sake of
adding filler to the album. (C'mon guys, if we don't fill the CD clear
full, we're gonna get bitched at on the 'jam). hehehe. I sadly think this
is somewhat true. Look at Trial of Tears on FII. I totally love that song,
but why the hell is there an extended 5 minute instrumental jam in the
middle of it. *thunk!* Not any more thanks to CL's Wave Studio! :) *doh*.

If anyone knows a site where I could download the album, so that I can listen between now

(If you dont believe me check past ytsejams and see the intelligent and amazing insightful

You're not really missing a gimmick with Buckethead. He said he wears
the mask and KFC bucket so people will concentrate on his music. That's
also why he goes by the name of Buckethead. Although you have to admit
it is cool when this imposing figure comes out and starts ripping it up
with a guitar or nunchucks.

Message-ID: <19991122064018.18362.rocketmail@web307.mail.yahoo.com>
Someone mentioned that they thought there was a
grammatical error in the lyrics to Home. Something
about "it's". The only "it's" I found were "it's what
I long for" and "it's calling me...". In both of these
cases, "it's" is the contraction of "it is" and thus
should have the apostraphe (sp?) as printed. Was this
what you meant?
And someone else called LTE 'self-indulgent', using
that to describe the instrumentals in SFAM. Might this
be due to the improv nature of LTE? If the problem you
have w/ LTE is that it's mostly all technical flash
with little 'deep musical content', I think the improv
nature is to blame. Deep musical stuff (ACOS, Met1,
Learning to Live come to my mind) requires
composition, I don't think it can just be jammed.
I personally like the jam session feel of LTE. I like
all the solos. Myung is a great bassist, I wish he'd
show it off more. I recall him being complimented on
the Jam for being as reserved as he is. I respect
that, but when I listen to music, I want to hear how
good the musicians are. As musicians first, then as
composers.

Hey Andrew,
I'm assuming that you are assembling this system from scratch. I have run
into this many times - here are some possible reasons:
1. First of all, unplug the motherboard power plug, then hit the power
button and see if the power supply fan is spinning (air should be blowing
out). If it is, then you know that something else is wrong. If it ISN'T,
you could have another bad power supply, or a bad, or improperly wired,
power switch.
2. Did you check the voltage selector on the back of the power supply?
Make sure it's set to 115V (could possibly be 110V also), but definitely NOT
220 or 230.
3. Check all jumpers on the motherboard. For example, there is usually a
set of jumpers that determine the bus speed, another set that sets the
multiplier (4x, 4.5x, etc.,) and another that sets the RAM speed (66 or
100). Doublecheck that you set them correctly - the diagrams are often very
confusing.
4. Unplug ALL devices, even the CPU fan and the floppy drive. The latter,
if plugged in improperly, DEFINITELY causes the exact symptoms you
described.
5. Did you check for a jumper that sets the CMOS "clear" or "reset" option?
Some motherboards ship with this jumper on, and then you could get the
symptoms you described.
6. Unplug any leads that go to the case's front panel (such as the HD
light, the Power light, the keyboard lock if it exists, and the Reset
button). You can always plug them in later once you get things going.
7. If none of those work, make sure that there are no metal parts (such as
old mounting screws) touching the underside of the motherboard. I wasted
three days on this once.
That's all I can think of for now - hope this helps. If not, please let me
know what type of motherboard it is, and I'll try to find out more.
Larry
p.s. I think NuGgeTMaN was thinking of the AT power supplies, not the ATX,
which no longer have the P1 and P2 wires (and I think it was P8 and P9). The
ATX power supply has one giant plug, which is keyed to prevent plugging it
in wrong.

Hello all,
I was in Munich to see new DT lineup in action and it
was really cool. I agree with almost everyone that
keyboards were bit down and I had problems hearing
them... I had problems to hear anything after the gig,
it was pretty loud :-) Well, only one thing
disappointed me and it was Mike Portnoy when he gave
his sticks to two chicks standing in a first row.
Hmmm... girls are more important fans then, Mike? :-)
Just kiddin'. SFAM rules!!!
