In a sense, I believe they have a 'trade' pretty much everywhere in the world :p In the whole of the USA>>> we have craigslist :D Projected additional $8Bil deficit in Calif next year...what to do? Some say do the same for marijuana, as we already have an estimated ~8Bil in illegal trade there.

Hmm, me thinks you must have missed the SF "iPhone I just don't get it" thread...SF members don't use iPhones! Try your question on an iPhone centric forum, and perhaps rephrase ("yo yo yo, man; iTunes blows...what'up wit dat?!?!" the question so you don't get banned and trolled relentlessly...

Live coverage of Apple's iPhone 3.0 event [U] http://www.electronista.com/articles/09/03/17/apple.iphone.3.event.live/ LOL, I only recently realized that [u] is shorthand for 'updated' ...story has been updated. seems there are noteworthy improvements...though I'm sure Merc would complain...

Can you trust your flash SSD specs & benchmarks? ^^^see page link sidebar notes. http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=270&Itemid=38 [/LEFT] flash SSD Jargon Explained

Glad I did not go for the 1st gen SSDs, waiting for the technology (controller firmware) to mature. All that stuff thing of the past now :)

Been mentioned in the news section and several times before, not available just yet: http://www.sandisk.com/OEM/ProductCatalog(1442)-C25G3_Solid_State_Drive.aspx Assuming when they ship, performance meets expectations, no PATA standard can fully ultilize the bandwidth as ata/133 is below...

Now that's just silly! Next we'll have (in addition to live video...delayed video of Lisa Nova is bad enough :p ) live vid tweeting of friggin cats & dogs with iPhone users doing the 'deed' while they're walking their friggin dogs...

HD removal vid for the R51 http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-53381.html Need advice on upgrading Hard Drive (^^^R51) R51 1836 Hard Drive Upgrade Woes 320GB pata drive? Heh, been a while, so I forgot about 28bit and 48bit LBA support with IDE drives. Too bad none of...

True, won't be as fast as a newest gen 7.2k rpm drive, but I'll bet any current 5.4k drive will *seem* like it's 2x as fast as that older 30GB drive. As already noted, the much more expensive <$200 Sandisk SSD's coming out mid-year, would 'feel' much more peppy, but is it really worth the cost...

Think you might get a lot of false positives using one service below ;) Another yahoo AP link which will be dead in a few weeks, so CnP the whole thing (sorry if the P breaks don't match the original, it's a PITA to do them manually): Deaths of gamers leave their online lives in limbo...

So what you're trying to imply is that, after initial setup, where you specify connecting to the printer in question, once the network connection is broken, the printer driver settings are resetting to a 'default' driver and when Gilbo tries to print, the print job spools and is sent to the...

<edit> WD has class leading PATA laptop drive capacity of 320GB. Zipzoomfly has them both (Sammy & WD) http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=10007684 http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=10010105

Been thinking/looking for a model for myself. Consumer camcorders sure are backwards compared to still? There are lower priced versions of the top end models, but all seem to be hopeless under performing/deficient in one or more areas, much like PnS digicams were in that state a few years ago...

Hmm, I suppose your father will never need more than 160GB...even with Winblows bloatware ver. 7 installed :D. Do a search on the Samsung, plenty of places selling them (maybe zipzoomfly?), they don't cost much, so it's a good replacement. Not sure about a 80GB capacity limit? Perhaps that was...

With PATA you are now fairly limited. Do you require/want higher capacity? If you don't need high capacity and plan on keeping the laptop for more than a year, consider buying a 5.4k HDD, use that as an external drive backup, and install the new Sandisk PATA G3 series when they come out...

ioDrive Duo And now we have RAID supposedly scaling linearly to 6GBs :D !Paypal sent for 4 of these :p Orig, ioDrive only set you back $14k. http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=17591

So I had a free dinner (oh the hangover, I'm too old to party like a rock star these days, totally out of shape...only 4.5 bottles for all of us, and I had a headache the next morning :drinka:) at my usual haunt...1st time in over 1/2yr though, economy is going to put lots of restaurants out of...

I can't watch any movie more than once a year at best, even my all time favorites. 2001 A Space Odyssey, no more than once a year...better once every 2 or more? BSG is in final season, no response from Merc? Uh, while Ming Na is cute, not another installment of a Stargate series...

see latest posts to thread below for link to Sammy 1.5TB 'eco' drive: WD to launch 2TB drives, lose data 'staying out'...for how long?

And in the USB3 corner: http://www.pcworld.com/article/156494/superspeed_usb.html? Hmm, 70sec for 25GB, means it will still take 1hr and 21 min. to backup up a full 1.5TB drive. A faster I/O right *now* wouldn't hurt, 25Gbps would be nice...could clone a 1.5TB drive in 17min...now yer talking!

Yes. ESATAp is more interesting to me, along with the dual USB2.0/ESATA port. Think I read somewhere, Intel's current chipsets don't support the standard yet. http://www.pcworld.com/article/156535/faster_serial_ata_coming_this_year.html

yes I do need urthur proof, other than one peer-reviewed 'journal' article. Tru dat (practicing my tweetz skillz of 140 char or <) Nah, the libs are just smarter than the conservs, P2P social networking, Facebook/Twitter....Merc? :D...

An inconvenient truth part deux...It's good to be a corporate bigwig, even in the midst of the most severe recession (won't recovery by some current estimates until at least 2013) since the great depression: http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2009/feb/11/city-lights-2/ take a alook at the...

Sounds wildly optimistic, IMHO. We have no idea what Clocker's position is, or will be (unless someone has heard from him recently). There are many, many 'talented' engineers out of work in this recession. Same for MBA's and others with higher degrees of learning. I don't think the world wide...

If you can degrade yourself enough down to 1.5TB, you can be ecofriendly, and have your Samsung favored 'reliability': Samsung intros 1.5TB EcoGreen F2EG drive http://www.electronista.com/articles/09/03/05/samsung.ecogreen.f2eg/

I would rather have the 2.5in SSD in the Asus Lambo, avail for private sector...I don't use a 'desktop', as is the case with the majority of users now :D What's with you guys and your fascination with Intel, like they are the paragon of the industry as far as tech quality? Will these exhibit...

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-twitter3-2009mar03,0,6701878.story Ken Hively / Los Angeles Times "Heroes" actor Greg Grunberg checks a Twitter message on his iPhone as he gets his makeup touched up on the set of the NBC show. Really hilarious to see Congress...

http://www.dpreview.com/news/0903/09030315panasoniclumixdmcgh1.asp A 4/3rds with 1080p video now from Panny :D. Like the oft derided iPhone on SF, I'm sure the majority here just won't 'get it'. By next year I predict the majority of dSLR's will have HD video capability. AVCHD format is less...

AFAIK, Apple's not using Crucial memory in their MBP 17in, I could be wrong. They have historically used the higher grade Samsung memory, which costs *more* than Crucial modules...just a FYI for you Apple bashers :D. Now if Apple used crucial, and even a few systems started having any RAM...

You would have no choice Handy, systems come configured (all manufacturers that I know of have base memory included in base price...no choice) as such, upgrade on a thin MBP, means there are only 2 dimm slots, period. If you want more mem slots, got to go to another company. Go to the cheapy's...

^^^Link please :P And how much does the asus Lambo laptop cost Handy, if you know?

Probably cost as much as a Lambo car :) http://www.asus.com/news_show.aspx?id=14515 Asus's website says: This early CeBit attendee is implying dual drive for 1TB total. Now the question is, if dual drive means 2x 500GB 7.2k HDD, or could you put 2x 1TB SSD's in there for freakin 2TB of...

You'll need to know what format the authored DVD's will be played on, IIRC, there are still some incompatibility issues with some players that supposedly handle all the various formats of DVD's...thankfully, there's only one HD standard now...though there is double layer, or was it double...

So I take it, you're (SF members) all too ashamed, embarrassed to admit openly to your twittering accts, I thought as much :D ? Senator McCain is the most twittery :p (was that an insult), of all the Congressmen now using it...they are all addicted to twitter now! A social disease of imperialist...

What is this 'twitter'? I was under the impression it was more or less like this parody spoof by Lisa Nova, correct? TWITTER WHORE part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwGzdbLweUI&feature=dir Ok, I 1st learned (can't say I keep up to date on latest fads on a weekly basis :D) about this...

Here you go...Fatty winblows users :D really old article that Handy must have missed last summer while running a multitude of anti-virus progs, lol. Many features have changed since then, ZFS is there in Snow Leopard, but will be mainly 'visible' on the server edition of 10.6 (which has still...

No wonder Handy uses those big SATA drives...you work for Balmer don't you? Come on, admit it. Only such a person would call Apple software bloatware, when Winblows is the originator of the term 'bloatware', lol. Why would any sane person use Winblows 7, a poor copy of Mac OS X from the early...

http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/02/24/apple_releases_public_beta_of_safari_4_browser.html ....since I know, no one clicks on links before spouting off knee jerk opinions....way down at the bottom of the page linked>>> ^^^why that's just silly, isn't Winblows 7 supposed to...

These new Samsung's the industry 1st's with high res. 960,000 pixel OLED screens, and full manual controls (including focus and WB)/wide-angle lens are interesting/exciting news. Now if they only could drop that Fuji sensor in them, with a Raw mode. WTF is up with what appears to be actual...

another Freudian slip by LOST? Boner uses & Raises... ummm :D, that will get you terminated, for sure. State layoffs in Calif, construction industry will be depressed no matter how much fed dollars come in, along with massive tax increases, 1% sales tax increase for 2yrs...which undoubtedly...

What's "normal" in an ever worsening recession? Unless you're with a company that is bucking the trends, expect layoffs, or pay cuts. That's what is happening in tech circles in Japan, and pretty much the whole world. Course you can be like UAW, and argue for raises and extended medical /...

Impulse buying of tech products can result in disappointment, I recommend you take more time to think about a purchase like the iPhone, where you'll be locked into a two year contract (that may change by this summer). If there is an Apple retail store nearby (or Best Buy), see if you can use a...

Hmmm, foget about Winblows 7, it's just a poor copy/attempt to emulate a superior OS....Mac OS X (older version of course)...get a Mac, get Snow Leopard ...server version (only 2 Snow Leopard's, unlike multi-version 7). Intel replies to solid-state drive 'slowness' critique...

I completely disagree. Most class action lawsuits are designed to make plaintiff lawyers filthy rich...and they succeed quite well in that regard. Plaintiffs in the settlements, mostly get token amounts, really worthless. Most of the attorneys in this country, especially frivolous lawsuit...

As could be expected, too much NR is the downfall of most PnS digicams :(. If only Fuji would make an 'enthusiast' PnS with the new sensor inside, but keep it pocketable...unlike the bulky Canon G10, a wider range zoom, unlike the paltry <3x on the Panasonic LX3. A step in the right direction...

2yrs ago, the mortgage foreclosure crisis had not gone nuclear...2yrs is a long time. If you have enough money, LED is ready now, all depends on what your usual unspecified qualification issues are :P. Wait until 3mo before you decide to do it, to then actually waste anytime thinking about it...

Maybe you can email tech support and be a beta tester :D. Digital ver. of th2go currently only supports , with caveat it's dependent on GPU (none specified) & dual link DVI. http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/th2go/...
