I'm pretty sure I've got 10GB ST-310211A floating around, as well as some Connor of unknown size. Might have a 34GXP, though could be a 60. It's 30GB anyhoo. Interested in a Fireball SE or ST? Fujitsu 10GB? Meh, I'll see what I've got floating around Tony. Give me until the weekend though

Thanks for that alternative Howell

Actually, that looks pretty damned impressive & useful. Thanks for the link.

It does, but I am unwilling to perform a crash test :)

Not a dislike, I just recognise the limitations. And also, the "one size fits all" was a literary exaggeration to illustrate a point. People who have a barrow to push tout "cloud computing" to those that don't understand the limitations and implications of software as a service. Then those...

Based upon reading this thread (and quite a number of others) I went out and got a HTC Incredible S. My previous two Samsung phones gave less than stellar service :( This is my first smart phone so we'll see how it goes. I love the ease of use. And tethering. And being able to seen the...

Yes it probably does. But is it right for the business? Personally, I'm sick to death of hearing about how the cloud will revolutionise everything. It won't. For some it will work well, for others it won't. This cloud mantra is being pushed by those with something to gain. Or by some lower...

Ohh yeah. Welcome to the cloud. Clouds can't hurt you. Nothing to be afraid of in the cloud... no....

Congrats to CougTek and Bozo, and welcome Kayren

For sure. I don't take a film such as POTC as anything more than pure, light entertainment. It's just as far as those types of movies go, I rank these ones pretty highly: Iron Man The Mummy POTC: The Curse of the Black Pearl The Bourne Identity V for Vendetta But like POTC 2 & 3, POTC 4 just...

I wondered where you were going with that for a minute... :rofl:

Saw POTC:On Stranger Tides. Meh... Wasn't bad, wasn't good. 2-and-a-half hours run time, and it didn't seem that long, so maybe slightly above average, but definitely not as good as the first (IMO, the best) or The Mummy.

They tell me it's quite warm in that "other place", you know, where sinners, ne'er-do-wells and Americans are sent to... :-D http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~afarrell/things/Hell.html

How do you get 2684's Coug? I've never had anything other than a 6900

Search this and the Tech Support forum with keyword mdadm. There's a number of threads that may be of use. Gilbo's thread?

Apologies for the delay. The fixed firmware is 1AJ100E5. I believe that my original firmware with the problem was 1AJ100E4

Give me 24 or so hours and I can tell you. I remember that my original firmware ended in a 4 and the new one ends in a 5

Intel don't want to give USB 3.0 traction - it will compete with Light Peak/Thunderbolt as a high-speed peripheral interconnect.

I like using Revo Uninstaller to clean up droppings...

I've always found that low latencies (memory) help with folding. You can get that by manually setting Tcas Tras Trc etc, or, if the memory controller/BIOS supports it, by using DDR3 1333 or 1600, instead of 1066. I don't think I've ever received other than a 6900 (??) unit.

Yep. There are plenty of countries to visit first that don't treat you as a third-class citizen...

I think DeltaCopy's "Server" and "Client" is just the terms they use to make the concepts more accessible to Windows users. They are a bit "slow" after all ;) Could be wrong about that though--about DeltaCopy's doco that is :D My understanding is that the Server is the source and Client is...

O.K. Resurrecting this thread 'cause some people don't like this stuff in the gaming thread :). Just messin' wit' ya! I don't get to see many adult movies lately with the kids--they take precedence, not that I take them to adult films; but Despicable Me and Megamind were quite OK. And what is...

I really don't want to visit a country that's going to take my fingerprints just because I'm visiting... FWIW, I'm not against having my fingerprints taker per se, I used to hold a poker (gaming, slot) machine clearance license which required that I had my prints taken. But that was a...

A place I'd like to visit actually. That and Norway, Finland, and Canada

Ding! Ding! Ding! We haf teh winnah! :)

Does it come with that "legendary" OCZ support? What will the speed be after the mid-life update? 475MB/s read and 500MB/s writes? Now it's time to play, "Spot the sarcasm".

It looks like the team will be climbing the rankings again pretty soon. Very few are looking like catching us, and we look like mowing down quite a few teams ahead of us.

Truly devastating. My thoughts go out...

Got a Samsung F3 or F3EG HDD? Hear it "clicking" after connecting to the latest Intel or AMD chipsets? In my case. it was a slow (every second) click like a full seek. Eventually the drive disappears from your OS. Warning! If you leave a drive unpatched and connected to a chipset that causes...

Because the story Intel told coincided with a financial analyst day, and it seems to have been designed to assuage them. If the the failure rate was as low as Intel claimed, then I'd be surprised that they caught it in their accelerated testing so soon. If the failure rate was high enough to...

Hmmm. My son is starting to hog my PC more than I do, so I grabbbed a few leftover parts and whipped together an Athlon 64 3400+ (754). Boots from a Raptor (1st gen) and uses an X1650 Pro for graphics. 2GB RAM. I use Avast! for antivirus as it seems to be the most lightweight of Avira/Avast...

Nuke the disk. Write zeros to it, recreate partitions, reinstall OS of choice. //the following is a hypothetical conversation between yourself and whoever owns the system... "But I've got files on the disk that I absolutely need and haven't backed up" <sob, cry> "Consider this a life lesson...

Is it meant to be a truly portable device? I've been carting a Dell 15.6"/3.0kg around, and comparing it to a 2.1kg/14" HP. The difference in portability is remarkable. The Dell is just too bulky to be truly portable. My next notebook will be a 14" or 13.3" that is hopefully even...

Friends don't let friends buy Seagate. I only ever had three 7200.8. All died with a slow clicking (full seek?) noise within the warranty period. SMART and Seatools report no error, but Seagate acknowledge the problem as performance goes in the toilet, and will replace the drive. The catch...

Welcome back C. And then there were two. Seagate and WD. Well it's back to WD I guess

I'm just a tad disturbed that you know what pond slime tastes like! :eekers: :-D:-D

I'm thinking that they could get a greater yield than indicated off the coast of Japan now.

What a clever post. You showed him

Except if you have a problem and have to deal with their "customer support".

Islay malts use blunt razors to slash open you neck so they can sh!t down your neck, whilst smoking a Cuban. That, or perhaps my taste buds haven't (d)evolved enough to appreciate them.

opened a bottle of Glenlivet 12yo the other night and boy was I impressed. Smooth...

I've thought about doing this myself, but in a couple of networking forums where I've raised this issue, others have suggested it's a bad idea because if the box is compromised, then the potential exists for all the systems on the host are compromised. The consensus seems to be leave a...

So does HFM. It sits in the tray and if you mouse over, it tell you how many of your clients are working/not working

Just encountered a strange problem. I couldn't work out why only one submitted unit appeared in today's stats. Then I realised, the unit (Project: 6900 (Run 19, Clone 13, Gen 37)) completed and shut down the core (which is unusual), and then when I restarted F@H, it looks like it's restarting...

Not that I'm aware of. I don't use any Live features, nor does my wife (that I'm aware of). She as admin access so could conceivably install things.

All the restore points were created by Windows Update, or Avast! 5.x to 6.0. The most likely suspect is Avast!, but my laptop also runs Avast!, was upgraded to 6.0 at the same time, also runs Win 7 Home Premium x64 and it didn't experience the issue. There are only two updates to Windows, one...

Rolled back to about 17th March via system restore. SR kept saying it failed, so I kept choosing an earlier point-in-time. After the third or fourth failure, I booted normally and the first message I got was about a successful restore :? Oh well, at least the network is back to normal...

Thanks for the quick reply time :) I can't open the admin page in normal or safe mode. The page goes white and will eventually through a 404. This happens with multiple browsers. I have repaired the connection & used a fixed IP. I have seen a number of posts saying to downgrade the...

Hi all, I've got a bit of a strange one. My main PC (Win 7 x64) can no longer see my Freenas/SMB shares. It can see XP/Win7 shares on other machines. All other machines can see the Freenas/SMB shares. Nor can this machine log on to the Freenas Admin page via browser. All other machines...
