That's interesting, I am using static addresses. The workgroups are the same and using the home network profile in 7. Exploring the network the homeserver shows up as an other devices item immediately. After approx a minute the home server will show up under the compuers items, along with my...

I patched the firmware on my drive too but didn't see a difference on bluray, but in DVD the thing flys now.

What happened?

Throwing an old carpet or even just some scrap cardboard down on unpleasant surfaces does wonders.

Used both and they don't create problems. Not sure on the protection front though, despite my behavior I don't find I run into very much malware/viri.

I get the same thing when just trying to find my home server. I just use a shortcut straight to the server name. Discovery does work but it takes like a minute to find it and my other shared network devices.

Right so when the mechanical drives die out they are going gone, that's where that similarity breaks down.

I recognize this is the wrong forum for this but mechanical watches are never going away. Just try to look at it as a form of art and a mechanical achievement. Anyway because of these things we are never going to see a new mechanical hard drive maker, they will join and get smaller in volume...

On the warping thing I think a lot of it is related to rust, they never rust evenly, then you get hot spots etc. Now I always paint the inside vanes of the rotors on new ones to put it off a bit more. Generally the way they build rotors now with as little extra metal as possible they are under...

We can stop talking about this now, I am hitting 36 this year.

Yeah I have that too but as time mentioned when these noises come and go you pick up on them despite the "interference".

It's the only type of watch I own but I know it's against the trend. For a while I thought a watchmaker would be a neat retirement job to slip into but these guys have years of training.

My take on it is about any electronics house can put together SSD's on a similar assembly line to about any other electronic stuff. But making mechanical disks is a really impressive process with precision machining and clean environments etc. Sort of like a modern day mechanical watch maker.

Looks like it, either that or a BIOS patch to recognize GPT. Patent pending no less.

Beyond the 1333 there is a quazi standard XMS speeds but the motherboard and memory need to support it. My memory is XMS 1600, basically all that does is support a way for the BIOS to automatically configure all the memory settings for the faster memory, and up to 1600 you really aren't paying...

I am fairly well that one of the noises is on one of the video cards, at certain resolutions on games it is worse. Sometimes if I get some flash on a page and I scroll I can change the pitch of the noise. It's not really intrusive.

I am at the point where I can hear the electrical components buzzing and ringing on my machine. The fans make a bit of a quiet droning too but they are about as quiet as fans can get. After a certain point there isn't much you can do for a home PC.

They had one of the four engine job ones flying around inside the terminal at DTW Friday and it made a lot of noise for being electric.

I like it, I have half a mind to take my home server in this direction.

The disk I have here is XP pro SP2 dell pn TD876. Think it came from a D610.

I know I have an xp pro disk somewhere for Dell laptops, not sure what sp it is but I could check if you need it.

I totally get that, but more for me to get used to tools/things that I know for sure will be on every machine I touch.

I always pictured a system where you would subscribe to a battery service. Located where you used to have gas stations they just swap out your battery pack when you refuel. The inventory they have on hand gets charged while sitting on the shelf waiting on the next car. Obviously would require...

Get stuff like that all the time through netflix. Must only take a small tap on the side there to shatter. Blurays seem to be even more prone to shattering, brittle or something.

Yes I think I have seen it mentioned that vail will support really big drives, but I don't think it is GPT. Sounds more like they are developing another special type of partitioning system that won't be able to be read by anything else. It's not done so I have only been skimming vail news.

Just realized that windows home server drive extender doesn't support GPT so you can't use these in WHS.

Yeah but you could have that without the forced autocorrect, these aren't mutually exclusive. Instead of space, just hit the suggested word for example. Not bad but still some room for improvement.

I don't want it disabled, I want it to suggest but not force a change during typing. I like to get my thought down and then go back and proofread, I believe most people work this way. I do not want to proofread and find words that I did not type. If I don't make a change while typing just put...

I so want the ios forced autocorrect to go away. I was glad to see the win7 phones input stuff, looks like they put a lot of work in it. The win7 phones keynote was a disaster though, very unpolished. It started late. The subtitles didn't really keep up and I think the subtitles had problems...

I thought it was interesting to be bundled with the controller card until I remembered that the early SATA drives came with a controller card as well.

Foxit is great, very fast. To create I use CutePDF writer, it is a print to PDF app. My epson scanner has the ability to output PDF. Those are really the only things I do with PDF.

Real Temp does look good, throws in the GPU temp too which is nice.

I have found that my verizon/fairpoint DSL stays up during a power failure. Most phone companies have an extremely long run time 48v battery system and as there isn't any hardware between my house and the telco so that makes sense. I can't say the same for cable modems I have had, they have...

I just love this picture, SoonTM http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/15/amd-launching-next-generation-of-radeon-graphics-cards-next-week/ edit; just imagine the superscript

Yeah, Handruin I have fairpoint, used to be verizon in Nashua NH and I know that they block 21, 80 and 443 at a minimum. I was able to throw up apache on 8080 but I haven't figured out how to move the home server to another port, not that I tried hard. I also know our IT dept had some problems...

Core Temp is the best I have found for intel cpu temps. http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/

To convert framerates does it do something similar to 3-2 pulldown?

I wonder if your home insurance policy covers you if you "forget" to pay your fire bill? That could potentially really suck. Some books I have been reading have all public services privatized, police fire etc. Looks like we are getting there in some areas.

Not for the sellers, I just started unloading stuff there again and the seller fees are a lot steeper than what I remember they were. I definitely use the forums and craigs list a lot more now before going to ebay. Unfortunately some stuff just doesn't sell till you get it listed in front of the...

It's just an app for ios devices, I guess because that's what you will have with you when shopping? I checked it out and it doesn't contain mobile or server chips so generally useless so far.

You might have a problem when people make translators to decipher your product lines naming/features. http://www.hardocp.com/news/2010/10/05/intel_desktop_cpu_decoder_iphone_app http://boxedcpudecoder.com/ Search "Intel decoder" on iTunes

Again that's a 4k cluster not being supported problem right?

Skip the passports and make something of your own with a better drive. Get a decent HD dock or case that has built in cooling for the drive. With backups you are doing some intense work on those drives, they heat way up and heat is the HD killer.

I thought if you had say a RECENT x64 OS with GPT you were good, no? Should be compatible with all SATA out there now for just a storage drive isn't it? Apparently need UEFI to boot from it, need the BIOS GPT support I guess.

Did it get really hot?

Hmm, $50 to unlock your multiplier anyone? Seems to be the direction they are heading with the sandy line but those are actual part number differences from what I gather. I have a W3530 and a 950 here I was exploring the limits of and all the stuff I had to touch to get a stable 200 Bclock was...

Doube post. Now I know I didn't hit the button twice, it did take about 20 seconds to post though so I was on another tab when it did this.
