That linked to this site where there are a really decent list of comparison shots in different ISO modes. http://www.imaging-resource.com/IMCOMP/COMPS01.HTM The Canon PowerShot SX1 IS at 400 looks worse than a D5000 at 1600 so I see what you all are saying. I will think on it but I don't...

Yeah, obviously an improvement from my camera where ISO 400 isn't that hot but I was hoping that 800 would look better than these and these are supposedly the latest and greatest in this range. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/CanonSX1IS/page7.asp

The category I am looking for is called (I believe) bridge cameras as in they fall between a full DSLR and point and shoot. Seems like an ISO 1600 is standard and 3200 and sometimes as high as 6400 can be had now. 28-320+mm zoom and usually a f2.8 through most of the wide modes categorize this...

Would like some suggestions. I want something that shoots better in low light situations than my current Sony DSC-H1. It is limited to a rather noisy ISO 400 but technology has moved on in recent years right? I now have a Sony DSC-H1 and before that I had a Canon S1-IS so basically what I...

Mine was the boot drive, were yours? I wouldn't doubt the OS doing something in the background would skew something. At any rate I didn't say it was a good or perfect system... I only rate a 6.5 overall because of the GTX260 holding things back in two categories.

I will ping them again today, it rather annoys me when I am kept out of the loop on the solution if there is one.

Not sure on the cap issue, I just think they last longer but have no idea how much longer. Did stumble across this site recently though: http://www.badcaps.net/. I can't tell you how much stuff I have fixed by taking it all apart, minor cleanup and putting it back together after really finding...

Interesting info on the wake by RS232. Does the current UPS have SNMP capability? Could just use that for a graceful shutdown.

Would you be interested in this extra stuff I have laying around? 2x: 10GB IDE 2.5" IBM Travelstar IC25N010ATDA04-0 A little on the small side but it is free + ship. I can even throw in the 2.5-3.5 adapter you need. I also have two 3.5" WD600LB-00DNA0 drives.

Weeel there is this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182193 Comes with 2gb memory at $125.

I guess that would come down to the motherboard you choose then. The only reason we were considering this in the first place was concern the ATOM might not really be up to the task of saturating gigabit transfers? Stepping up to AMD 5000+ or Celeron C2D is enough to eliminate that? I can't...

Doesn't the NIC's gateway show up in the routing table as 10.20.8.1? That's what I assumed that was. On the two pieces of software for sending traps that we have tried there is no gateway or mask configuration, just the destination IP. Yeah, I am really interested in those traceroutes too.

Yep, nothing out of ordinary. Whenever it sees the config file changed it reloads it and you can see that in the log along with the destinations that were configured. No failures listed. Customer is asking how to bind it to a specific network adapter and there is no such thing, windows handles...

I have this problem with a customer, they can only receive SNMP traps when the sending server has its second NIC disabled. Have tried two different software packages in sending SNMP traps, they both behave the same way. I am not really skilled enough to spot anything wrong in a routing table...

After living with this SSD for a few more days this was very much worth the money. Bloatware like word and outlook just snap open now. I wasn't expecting to be this pleased with it, also nice being completely silent. Oh and on the SSD my experience in win7 7100 went from a 5.9 with the raptor...

You running a P180? I also have a Scythe Ninja in that case that I run fanless. It isn't exactly fanless with the case exhaust fans [i]right there[/] within 1/2 inch and about 1 next to it.

I like the suggested drive cage much better, you can stick the OS drive in there as well. On the case I am thinking maybe you want to consider something that has air filters on the intake air flow? I find even crappy filters like the ones on the P180 do quite a lot. maybe a case with a more...

I think you can expect that from RAID-1 anywhere. Wouldn't have worked with RAID-5 though even assuming both controllers supported it. I was also pleased to confirm that when I broke my ICH9R RAID-1 array it didn't loose data either, despite the ton of warnings and confirmations that it would.

Yeah, I think I just need to experiment a bit with the intel storage manager. It has a rescan option to find new devices but I don't see a way to stop and remove a disk.

Thanks for mentioning AHCI, I surmise that is exactly why my stuff isn't working at the moment for any sort of hot plug ability as I have intel RAID turned on. Guess that takes over all ports instead of just the ones used for RAID disks.

I also have experience that with 3Ware and Intel you can move arrays to different machines and even go up a revision in hardware without issue. It is a legit concern to be aware of though, but I think I would be more concerned that a failing controller would destroy/corrupt the data on the...

Think this is what I was looking for? If I have a Supermicro C2SBA+II with just the regular ICH9R built in I can use this utility plus a SATA L to external SATA I pass through cable/plate I can use eSATA in a similar fashion that people use USB HDD? This is my first time trying to use SATA...

Good question on the Intel X25-M trim, I don't specifically see it mentioned on the firmware page; http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=3044&DwnldID=17485&lang=eng This is the Anand article and he mentiones that intel will release a trim firmware later this year...

Hmm, now this is unconfirmed rumor-mill stuff but it makes sense in an odd sort of "legalistic" way. The upgrade license depends on what you are upgrading. So if I upgrade my OEM XP I end with OEM win7, or if I upgrade my Retail Upgrade Vista I end up with Retail win7. Hopefully they don't start...

I got mine in and simply ghosted over the win7 eval 7100. Happy to say I do see the difference in this verses the 300g raptor in seat of the pants testing. Most dramatic upgrade I have done in a very long time. I don't think the win7 eval supports TRIM, I also had to manually go in and turn off...

http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/addon/AOC-SAT2-MV8.cfm lol, well yeah!

Funny, dealing with crappy motherboards is what drove me back to intel. You know, little details like having USB mice and keyboards work in DOS boot disk applications and having the motherboard be compatible with KVM switches. At the moment I am feeling like supermicro and intel branded...

Still sounds like you are all over the place when ranging from a nissan sentra to acura tl.

Couple random thoughts. 2.5RS is non turbo isn't it? You prepared to live with ~160 HP? Mileage wise don't expect miracles from AWD cars either. My 08WRX gets around 23-28 on the highway 28 being a sucky cruise controlled 65mph, 23mpg is a pretty scary but thrilling ride. Even removing the...

Hmm, it occurs to me no one may know yet because the MSDN etc that are out aren't upgrade products. Merc, I think they closed that loophole, win7 upgrade needs to see a valid and activated OS before it will allow a clean install...

Ah, let me clarify. I want a clean install of win7 but the product I have for win7 is an upgrade (that early $50 deal) so I am thinking I am simply not allowed to wipe the drive and start fresh but that would be really nice if I could. I am looking for tricks like there was for vista in...

OK looks like the time is here. I have a legit copy of win7 home premium upgrade on the way I will likely get around the 25th but I would like to have a go at it now and just enter the key later when I get the box. I think the problem now is that with upgrade I need to install and activate XP...

Cool, sounds like they are doing something about it.

Very weird stuff, the SSD still shows in stock and now it has the icy dock free shown again. High volume sales seems to be a bit of a problem at newegg, not the first I have heard of this stuff happening, mostly mentioned on HOCP forum deals sections.

Yup looks like they pulled that free adapter, I even checked the full link in this mornings email. I wasn't going to use it anyway as long as the drive comes with one and some of the reviews say it is not the greatest.

Ah crap, could an admin modify that URL for me? I don't mind you all having it but I can feel the spam coming in. EDIT: thanks for getting that so fast! I bought one, I have been waiting and good timing for me as I am about to switch from win7 eval to retail as well. Seems you get two 3.5"...

Threads like this are why I liked the concept behind the reliability survey at SR but I don't think it turned into anything, anyone know if this is still going? I haven't visited there in a very long time. http://www.storagereview.com/map/lm.cgi/survey_login

Seems the intel's are back in stock at newegg with a shell shocker deal.

I really really wish they would.

CARS took nothing off the road at all, straight up exchange only. Anyway the cars your looking for are all popular so sure there are going to be higher in price, actually that subaru is looking pretty good pricewise IMO without checking the pricing sites.

What!!?? You can't even secure it for your use only?

I like the att service offering where if you have no service in your area/home you can buy from them for like $250 a device that will create a local signal for your phone, but you provide the broadband. Rather than they fix their service coverage. Article mentioned these things should be free...

OCZ Announces the Z-Drive m84 PCI-Express SSD, a Bootable Storage Drive for Mainstream Do-It-Yourself Power Users http://www.ocztechnology.com/aboutocz/press/2009/354 I am sort of interested in these type of drives.

I am a corporate whore so I have a Blackberry 8330 which is a curve derivative. I don't do much with it except for the email but I did spend the $9 on the last newegg shocker to get a 4gb memory card so I can use the camera and video recorder. My laptop just got re-imaged and they updated the...

If you have the means I say do it, the memories and nostalgia would be really gratifying. I have spent many thousands on baubles to make myself happy and I only every really gave a considering eye to the financial knowing I could get out of it for roughly the same amount which sounds like it is...

I use my ASUS a696 for three things, ebook reader, MP3 player (8gb SDHC) and it has GPS so I use it in cars a lot on business. I like the remote idea but I hear PDA's don't have a strong IR transmitter. I am sort of resistant to the whole apple ipod empire.

Also fun too is to look at some of your webserver error logs and see what ancient exploiters are still out there plinging away looking for a vulnerability.

Is the data at all important? If so I wouldn't even power them up, the spinning platters and whatever residue is left from the water will destroy stuff and instantly with head crash wouldn't it? All drives have at least one breather hole, I would assume at least some water got in. I would...

I think he is implying you should be complaining to AT&T to fix the block. I assume you have considered putting a couple letters out to whatever authority you can find at AT&T locally? I would threaten to dump them and go with that other ISP you mentioned, then when nothing happens recommend to...

Awesome man good luck! I wouldn't call the Hampton a nice hotel but that and the Crown Plaza are my main staples when traveling as a decent place to affordable stay on company dime or when I am spending my own money so IMO good choice.
