So, you're just afraid of being outbid?

Seeing as nobody pays MSRP, Agility drives should start to get dirt cheap (in relative terms). How slow can you go, and not have it perform any worse than 7200RPM laptop drive?

Every time I try nVidia drivers, I end up unhappy

Being user friendly is more than half the battle. But, you've already said that you can do without.

Western Digital has managed to adapt six-generations-old technology to a form factor that few, if any, can use. That's genius.

So, if you don't get emotional about it, why do you need to hide your bid?

I was finally able to find the answer to this one. SATA 2 is supported in SAS 1.1. So my SAS 1.0 HBA only does SATA 1.0a, which isn't any better than my onboard controller.

OCZ has been throwing out random rebates to keep ahead on price. If you're willing to follow that game, it seems like there will always be a cheaper Vertex out there.

Like a name that's an actual English word?

It seems to me that it's neither here nor there whether you ever change your IP address. If you've taken reasonable precautions to protect your network, there's little, if anything, that a change of address will do.

Where "months" = quarterly and "newest" = last three major versions

Alright then. Why does flipping this option seem to speed up page loading when, as you seem to say, it should slow it down, if anything?

Try bidding in a principled manner, instead.

Ahhh. Gotcha. Is there some reason that this would have relatively recently become such an issue for me?

Does your dryer have an "off" button?

So why would this cause pages to load slowly?

Right, but this is a SATA drive, and SATA 3.0Gbps wasn't out when the current SAS standard (let alone the card that I have) was made.

Maybe that's because they didn't do anything goofy like change the physical interface or add any badly needed features.

You know, they sell those on Amazon....

Woah. I have trouble keeping the backstory to Alpha Centauri straight....

I have some friends in Romania that might be interested in knowing who this guy is....

I was having problems with slow page load times in Firefox. I initially thought that maybe it was a DNS problem, or something that I had done to gum up the works. I read this page, turned off keep-alive, and all is solved. Can any of your webmonkeys explain what is going on?

I applied to MIT. After meeting their graduates, I'm very glad that I didn't get in.

Speaking of which, does anyone know if I stick one of these on a SAS controller, what speed it'll be at?

Yes. It's faster than any 15k drive that I've used, but it doesn't put them to shame. Some couple-generation back 2.5" Fujitsu. If anyone is interested, it's for sale.

Did you get into Stanford?

Security? We don't need no stinkin' security! It would make more sense if the local back-up was really the front-end server, standing between Gmail and the user's application. But that would be a bit complicated.

Or to complain that they can't get licenses for XP x64....

Quark's development time is so glacial, I thought that they were just a niche product for newspapers stuck in the nineties. A new version of FrameMaker came out recently. I thought it was dead, too. But PageMaker... that's really done.

I don't consider the plug for an electric dryer to be a "specialty part," but it doesn't come with the dryer, either.

Next time you need a washer or dryer, get installation from whence you purchased it. That way, it's their problem.

People still use Quark? Then again, people still use PageMaker, and that is really a dead product....

I've been using Ghost 11 for some time, but haven't need to do much more than a complete disk image of any Vista volumes. What options are you using?

Did you mean Queen of Scotts Miracle-Gro? Anyway, it turns out that VirtualBox won't run 64-bit guests without hardware virtualization extensions, which is a non-starter. I'm not going to replace my computer so that I can test 64-bit operating systems in a VM. I also can't easily import my...

I think that Samsung has an SLC controller, but I don't think that it's better than Intel's. I finally got the Vertex that I ordered and installed Windows on it. It's a lot less impressive than I'd been lead to believe. It's definitely faster than the 10k SAS drive that it displaced. Windows...

I remember using baluns in college... I bet that they still use them.

From where did you get these? They should have advised you about needing this kit, if only for the up-sale. Certainly, I would think that they could order it for you.

You people and your memory. I lose files on my desktop.

I get the vibe that Virtual Box is more comparable to VMware server rather than workstation. There are some key ease-of-use features that drove me to pay for workstation rather than using server for personal use.

http://www.voidtools.com/ I've just installed this, and it seems pretty amazing for something so light. I may never use Windows's search function again....

Have any of you folks been using Virtual Box? I'm looking at taking the leap from VMware Workstation, since it costs money.

Is this cooler than printing the camouflage onto military vehicles?

Summit uses a Samsung controller. Vertex uses an Indilinx controller. From what I can tell, the difference in performance and price is not large.

I thought of that. The UK and UK driver packages are the same. Japan gets the same driver in a different package. According to what I've read online, previous versions of the driver actually had a country selection option; but said previous versions don't support this particular chip. The...

Maybe you were thinking of the nVidia Ion? I'm expecting another driver hell.

Just cantilever it over a waterfall and stock it with Tiffany-style lamps that you've done yourself.

Frank Lloyd Wright could have worked at Apple.

Except that I don't need or want to have those things filtered.

It looks like it uses MoCA, which the same standard that Verizon uses to distribute FiOS on premises.

Tell that to Intel, which region-locks their WiFi cards in the firmware. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Broadcom posts their drivers on the websites. It looks like I just need to make changes to the drivers, but I have yet to figure out what those changes are.
