My last couple Fords 95' and 04' did turn off lights automatically. My 00' Land Rover didn't and I drained its battery once too and now I find my 08' Subaru doesn't either. Definitely a weird hit or miss thing, but nice to know you can just pop in some fairly inexpensive LED's and solve the problem.

Fix implies that something is broken where here nothing is other than my apparent inability to remember turning off lights. Obviously my wanting the auto off to apply to the map lights would be nice but I see that as a feature, not a fault. Anyway I thought it was worthy to mention that the...

For some reason I have one of those weird cars (newer even) that don't shut off the map lights if you leave them on although the dome does, whatever. Killed my battery twice so I swapped the interior lights out for LED's. Several times I have messed up sense then and found the map lights on when...

What software? I have a samsung and couldn't find even an inf for it, all plug and play.

Here's a plus for the small seller, looks like you can sell it with blessing early: http://www.pcworld.com/article/172690/microsoft_oks_early_windows_7_pc_sales.html

Correct, straight from 98SE to 2000.

Me too, I only stick around the forums that aren't filled with tons of crap and drivel. Sure I will search the big ones when I have questions but I just don't browse or contribute there much.

Awesome. Page-rank tweaking FTW. I love being at work and finding porn when looking for work info, just a quick little thing that lifts my spirits. All the perversions thereof are just humorous to me, thoroughly desensitized by now.

Wow, I don't think I have seen any forums with post counts like there are here.

In the GUI based VMware 1 there was an option to directly mount a disk that had some strong warnings against it. Now in the web based 2 I don't see that option anymore. Does it need to be a VM? We might be able to scrape together an extra PC to do something like this. Myself I threw a load of...

Man I am still using some 1987 maytags that I "inherited" when relatives moved. These things have been trouble free all their life but the dryer is getting a little noisy like the rollers for the drum could be replaced. Can also hear the belt slip sometimes on the washer if it is really full. No...

Well they might not have a real world clue on the drives longevity in deployment. All they have at the moment is data they gathered (hopefully gathered) from some production chips that they have hammered in the lab till it broke then used those results to calculate life based off of some...

Re-run memtest overnight and be sure it completes several full passes? I posted some links in the thread Handruin put up on what else you can do to test.

Cool, google even found an image for it:

For me it pretty much comes down to media center. Also now that I am used to things I like some of the UI stuff too.

Still running the public beta. My official disk comes when newegg gets it out the door. Vista is likely the shortest time I have used any OS at less than a year.

I'm curious, this problem went away because of the memory adjustment? Have you run file level parity tests with PAR2?

I smile when I see merc's posts but my experience is about average for WD's verses everything else albeit my sample size is limited to about 20 total drives many of the 30-60gb generations, some JB's that were just after the FDB switchover for WD, some raptor 74gb's and now this 300gb...

Hmm, seems students can get win7 home premium for $30. http://windows7.digitalriver.com/store/mswpus/en_US/DisplayHomePage?resid=gkx-2QoBAkgAAF7YfhUAAAA@&rests=1253234988022

Does some of the lower price factor in that they don't have to support it, the OEM supports it? Seems the OEM copies are still bundled with a support option. Funny this hasn't come up as a monopolistic behavior. Think that's only because the alternatives are either free or not able to be...

I actually did think about the computer speaker thing but A, I don't want speakers sitting there that are on 24/7 and B usually there is some open mike hum/hiss associated with doing that that I wouldn't like. Also not really looking for some sort of hacked together system. Coug, I am a guy...

I went and skimmed that old thread and it generally confirmed my thoughts on bose, but I was thinking the wave radio would suit me perfectly as I just want an alarm clock radio that I can put a CD in every once and a while folding clothes or other bedroom activities. I am sort of thinking...

Recently I wanted a new alarm clock that's more of a decent stereo with better sound than most alarm clock radio's. I looked into a bose wave radio and nearly shit myself when I saw the price at $500!! They don't even have buttons on the unit anymore and pimp that as a "feature", I mean damn...

Skim the reviews on newegg you linked, depending on the combination of size and RPM some make different pitch noise. SPCR may have something to say also.

I am all silenx in a couple cases now. Not multi speed but I didn't need it, I moved to them from the three speed Antec ones that came with my P180 when the Antec fans died. I don't have real gripes on the antec 3 speed ones, they worked fine. I look at all fans as wear/maintenance items, they...

Yes, there is even a test suite to automate it for stability testing but I can't remember the name of it. Basically it just automated the running of prime95. Maybe it was orthos. Found these: http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=335813...

Plus the speedstep overheat safety thing works! With a broken heatsink mount and the cooler sitting all cockeyed it didn't fry the chip or even lockup the computer. This is what I was talking about: http://cgi.ebay.com/Metal-P4-Socket-478-Retainer-Clip-Backplate_W0QQitemZ220419027800...

I think in general you want to see a couple of full cycles, however long that takes on whichever computer.

Well I have a 3Com firewall that I have used here for years and have successfully configured it for lots of things. I don't use the windows stuff or zone alarm etc. As far as the web server 80 goes that's really the only one that irked me but I fully understand why, so I just configure apache...

Yes I see what you mean, they are blocking my outgoing stuff.

I know my DSL blocks 80, 8080 and 443 so I wouldn't consider it far fetched at all. They don't block 3389 or 3784 thankfully.

Yeah, it's not even a rent to own plan either. Family pack seems like a real deal now that the intro special upgrade price is gone. Even if you have to reactivate?

At the time I was able to find metal replacements that fit the intel footprint on the motherboard. Sounds like what you got. Looks like you have tons of room around that CPU too.

Good luck, most I had were thrown out after a year or so. The plastic mount on the motherboard or the heatsink itself was under a lot of tension and broke on all of mine.

This board blocks posts in certain parts until you have like 15 posts. After that you can post in the for sale section. http://www.rolexforums.com/ Glad you are looking into this, I think a couple tweaks will make your life easier.

Haven't seen any news about Mechwarrior lately? DAOC went through a server merge this week. All the old separate server clusters are going away and everyone is transferring to a new super server called Ywain which is TOA based. Lumping all the separate people together should increase population...

I like the raptor 300 so far too, also holding out till later for SSD either late this year or early next. May even consider an OCZ from that Anand article which is a company I dislike much the same as Merc dislikes WD due to several failed pieces of memory in a row years ago (it's personal)...

I wasn't ever impressed with the 7500-8 and something older from 6xxx series under RAID5 either but they did carry me flawlessly through several drive failures over its lifetime. Was used on several motherboards, some 64bit and some not and I didn't test or even pick up on the difference between...

Hopefully you just changed something on the receiver like center level or a different sound shape to reduce the center. About 10-15 years ago I got polk speakers, decent ones near top of the line then and they have never let me down and still sound great. Would not hesitate to go top of the...

How odd, I never thought to check for this before but most bays I choose have a separation between the drives for air flow. Are they the same model drives? You would think the manufacturer would check for things like that.

Yeah, I was going to say P4SCT, liked my old one and a friend is still using it.

My friend has a network based tv tuner that he puts in the basement and I thought that was nice not being in the computer. Works with media center. I'll ask what it is.

On the last four latitudes I have had there is a plastic strip across the top of the keyboard that contains the buttons and hinge covers. This pries off but the hinge covers also mean the screen must be folded all the way back flat to get them to clear. From there two screws and a ribbon cable...

Both my D610 and D630 with the intel mobile graphrics worked with DVI-D coming out the docking station. The D610 only did 1080 in interlaced mode though, the D630 handles 1080p. Shouldn't have to go to separate graphics just for DVI, no idea how leveno handles it though.

Has anyone had one just wear out? EDS and physical shock aside... Should be up in the tens to hundreds of thousands range for good flash??

I am not really reassured in the viability of building a HD-HTPC box any time soon when I read articles like this: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3632&p=1 I guess RIAA wins and I just need to buy an approved set top player and stereo. I like in the end of the article Anand puts...

Stopwatch and an iso?

Yes, I am waiting too and am pretty sure I will have one by the end of the year but I will definitely wait till this pricing crap settles down. At least there is some competition now, must be more to come.

Ah geez, I think I remember seeing that and wondering what it was. As you can tell I didn't play with it long after I confirmed the whole clone/mirror mode is locked out.
