SAS will, and that's where I think spinning disks can hold out the longest. They're relatively cheap per terabyte and far more responsive than tape....

Exactly. And most LEDs should outlast the appliance.

Put the garage on the street.

I'm sure that there's plenty of space if you pick the right lamp. As the ballasts can be bulky, that can really be a hinderance. It's bizarre that refrigerators still use those little appliance bulbs.

And at what temperature and usage patterns would it be good location?

Understandably, your view of the situation is biased. Your clients don't need you to have a Blackberry; they need you to be extremely responsive. Any cell phone could do that. You are the one who wants them to use e-mail; therefore you think that you need a Blackberry in order to be responsive.

Just get attached garages people.

They're brighter at lower wattage. They also come in daylight, rather than just sickening yellow. If LEDs weren't so stinkin' directional, I'd use them instead, as they take the cold better and produce even less heat.

My hood CFLs have only failed due to user error and old age. But they do get kind of gunky, and you have to clean them regularly.

This is to say that you're talking out of alternative orifices.

I guess that if they were on the exterior, then they would be in it, would they?

I'd say that you're the first person that I know that actually thinks that he *needs* this functionality. Most folks I know just want to be able to send and receive e-mail. A few just want to be able to text faster....

I feel bad about trying to convince people to get Blackberries instead of Sidekicks or Blackjacks.

If you're buying cheapies, I think that 2 to 3 years is a reasonable life under real use conditions. I think that there's something to be said for buying higher quality CFLs. They really do last longer when used in my fridge.

How long do you think they will last, then?

Did you plug it right into the chair?

I honestly don't think he gets it....

It's 19 years, and, if you use the bulb the way that they describe, you should get reasonably close. I, for one, don't use lights as most manufacturers rate their lamps. Yet, even my cheap CFLs last a year in the refrigerator.

Does it matter whether you pull or push the files to the new computer?

If you lose time when off, then it's probably the clock itself at fault and probably not worth fixing.

I have no problems using Gmail with AT&T DSL. My key Eudora settings: incoming server: pop.gmail.com secure sockets: required, alternate port (reports using TLSv1 on port 995) outgoing server: smtp.gmail.com authentication allowed use submission port (587) secure sockets: if available (same...

If the computer is on all of the time, then the battery isn't the problem. Windows keeps time using interrupts. It syncs to the system clock, however. Do you have appropriate processor and chipset drivers installed? Does the computer lose time when off?

Aren't they missing an "I" there?

This is only great inasmuchas manufacturers whose drives are actually worth buying will have to lower their prices on sizes actually worth buying.

Obviously, you didn't read the article. Microsoft made Verdana for the web. It is a screen font. It is a piece of shit. It does not bring anything new to the font design table. Microsoft bundles it with its software so that you don't have to use anybody else. Futura is a real typeface...

Next thing you know, you'll have three screens and check the stocks every few seconds....

But does Pennsylvania have a state-supported research college meant to serve a community which cannot get into it?

If it's looking at the system bitmap to check what areas of the disk are marked deleted, then its only dependent on having a compliant file system. The drive doesn't know anything about your operating system.

Join the cult of Warren. BRK.a is a steal at $101,400.00, off 20% from its lows.

No, Lenovo carries parts. And they send them when ordered.

So, how does it know that a block is partially written if it doesn't know that some of the data has been deleted? Recall that clusters are simply marked deleted in the file system metadata -- no actual change to the data is made. Unless the drive reads the metadata, then it doesn't know that...

You can solve this problem by not buying from Dell.

Right. When is service pack 2 due out?

I agree. The drive can only do so much without knowledge of the file system on it.

I've found that, if you need a replacement part from Dell, it's far easier to buy the whole thing new, swap the part, and return the new item with the busted part, on Dell's dime.

When is the first service pack due?

You've had head injuries, yes?

Perhaps something called diskpart, which comes with Windows? The theory is that you want to align the file system clusters with the erase blocks. Otherwise you end up tripping more read-write-erase cycles, since one cluster could span two blocks. So, part one is that the drive is faster after...

I'd rather have a five platter drive from Hitachi than a four platter drive from Seagate.

If you have an OCZ drive, they have utilities on their website.

I think it's important to understand that not only must flash memory be erased before rewritten, but they have a minimum block of data that they must write. So, if you change part of a write block, the good data must be read, the entire block erased, and the data written, some of which was...

nVidia doesn't ship cards. It doesn't even make the chips. At least ATi ships cards, even if few buy them these days.

The AppleGoo soap opera has been getting interesting recently. This FCC business on top of the SEC investigation on their common directors has made me wonder why we didn't notice until recently that these two companies were really competitors.

Just to prove that Merc cann't hate Adobe, the fix for the Flash exploit for Acrobat/Reader 9 was released Friday. It was pushed to me today via the automatic updater. Updates for earlier versions are forthcoming.

You mean want to. There's little on eBay that someone really needs.

However you want to admit it....

Well, when I get my next motherboard, in any case. Never getting an nVidia-based board again.
