I disagree. While it may be normal for the five-platter drives, I've never had a hot Hitachi Deskstar drive. I've had 7k250s and 180GXPs -- all very cool

Cleaning out the phone equipment box. Insert my usual boilerplate language there. Drop me an e-mail if interested. Sony SPP-A946 900MHz Cordless Telephone with Digital Answering Machine - Comes in original packaging with all ecoutrement. Battery may need to be replaced. Manufacturer's page...

I've had major issues with Mozilla, Java, and the USPS website (of all things). This has been going on for some time. The USPS label printng website uses a Java applet to display and print the labels. Every once in a while, the applet will cause Mozilla to freeze. Upgrading to the latest...

Zipzoomfly: I recently ordered a 7k250 from them. Came in the antistatic bag in a little foam box. Foam box was wrapped in bubble wrap. Everything in to the order was in a box with packing peanuts; but it was packed tight -- nothing in the box moved. Keep in mind, however, that Zipzoomfly...

I've had one compromised by the reset button.

I dream of the day of getting phone from the cable company, cable from the phone company, and Internet from the wireless company....

I wouldn't order drives from Newegg. Mine came wrapped in some bubble wrap, free-floating in a sea of packing peanuts. None of this extra packing material was antistatic.

How do I get in on this action?

If Microsoft hadn't hijacked OS/2 into Windows NT, I think that'd done a lot better....

Problem (Apparently) Solved It appears that my issues were caused by insufficient voltage on the 3.3v line. I recently replaced my quiet Tagan PSU with a beefier Silverstone model with 40A on the 3.3v rail, and all problems have ceased. Time will tell....

SBC keeps calling, trying to switch me over to their long distance. I don't make a lot of long distance calls, and have a very good plan from Qwest that SBC can't match.... but they'll keep trying to convince me to pay a monthly fee to get the same rate or accept a higher rate. I'll have to...

Try answering and only speaking in a foreign language. It's amazing how they don't train these folks about what to do with someone who only speaks Spanish....

I should sue the auto makers and petroleum companies for ruining public transit....

I think it's interesting to see how folks respond to, "Oh, I could be better." You can do more damage to unwanted callers by initially not paying attention to their spiel, asking them politely to repeat it, and then telling them to cease and desist calling you.

Saying "this call may be recorded" does not limit who can record it. If they use this phraseology, then *you* may record the call.

PS: It's just like it was with IBM.

Canada's independent?

Isn't this some type of oxymoron?

No. I'm pretty sure that DVI has superceded BNCs. I have seen BNC to DVI adapters. Not sure if it's worthwhile.

So they've never failed. Proof positive.

Something about equinoxes or something? There was an alignment of the planets yesterday. I guess that means the Merc finally mailed that money order to me....

Treat your SCSI drives the same and let me know how they fare....

Buy local. It's better for you and everybody else.

I don't trust 'em. I have ATA drives for non-critical stuff -- but anything important is on a SCSI drive. The fact that not quite all of your ATA drives haven't failed isn't really comforting.

I like the freedom *from* the car. Considering the caliber of California drivers, I'm glad that I'm not out there.

It's quieter. That's about all I can say, as I rarely do anything that remotely stresses the drives. I bought the 10k.7s because I found a good deal and they don't whine. That's all I needed.

Is it really a toss between something that nearly everyone has and something that only have the people have?

I've never owned a car. I live in the land of car-culture. The key is to live close to things that you need and being willing to walk. Although I have my groceries delivered, I live about five blocks from two stores. I'm about two blocks from a transit mall. Come to think of it, I've never...

I just replaced these with 10k.7s. Both are 80-pin; I will include adapter upon request. The 74GB drive is warranted through Seagate until Sep. 2009. The 146GB drive is "white-label" recertified. Both drives pass Seatools with no errors. $150 for 74GB $180 for 146GB $310 for both Prices...

Have you finished yet?

How are your servers determining the client? I've set my useragent string to make it look like I'm using Netscape 7.1 on Windows 2003, despite the fact that I'm using Firefox 1.04 on Windows XP. I know other folks who spoof their Mozilla/Firefox useragent to IE to force sites to work.

Maybe I've been hanging around the expensive models....

Have you considered a solid ink (i.e. Phaser) printer?

I got the card in this morning. First thought: it's really small. As long as it performs, that's a good thing. The card is not only low profile, but less than half-length; much smaller than the TBSC it replaces. Initially had some issues with the drivers... the card has one device for...

How does this type of theory apply to underwater faults, such as the one off the California-Oregon coast spawning two of the recent large earthquakes?

In the following review, we will compare items which do not really compete with one another to find out which one is biggest.... In conclusion, while the thermos is small, it doesn't keep things as cold as the chest cooler or freezer. If you can afford it, the freezer is your best choice.

Normal? It's been expected. There's normally twenty or so earthquakes around here every day. One of the recent large ones was on a fault that was "overdue."

http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Maps/125-41.html It seemed more ominous when the big square was red. It *was* strange to be under a tsunami warning, if only for about forty-five minutes.

If you used Ghost to resize the partition, it does have a habit of farking up the file system structures. Merc's suggestion is a good one.

How am I supposed to get cheap second-hand PCI-X cards if they don't make them?

These are the folks with a mobile data center....

Try setting the dirty flag manually with fs

This card doesn't have Sensaura, as other Envy-based cards do. It only has Qsound. Am I going to miss this?

People shop at (and highly regard) places called "New Egg" and "Zip Zoom Fly"; I wouldn't pass judgement on "Go Go City...."

2800mAh AA exist, but the 2500 ones are ubiquitious.

http://bf2.dm0.org/Battlefield_2_Demo_GC.zip Thanks to one of the folks over at BroadbandReports. I ran into that known issue with ATi cards. Pretty spectacular crash of my computer. I no longer have any close contacts over at EA, so I can't say how the game is developing....

If you're looking for cheap, I've purchased from these guys: http://www.batteryspace.com/ They do the job.

I know that I didn't mention this, but I'm never buying a Creative card again. Their hardware may be good, but you'd never be able to tell through the drivers. Stereo is acceptable under Linux, because all I ever really want to do is play music and hear normal system sounds (which are...
