    Indeed. Thanks for the follow-up.

    I need a bed

    I hated mine. Returned it well within the 90-day money-back guarantee. It doesn't keep it's shape, it is firm when you get on it but you wake up in a hole. If you tend to shift in your sleep you will feel trapped. It doesn't breathe at all. Ended up getting a W Hotels Posturepedic pillow top...

    We'll have to order the fridge soon, as we plan to move in before Christmas. This is the one we want, hoping the price comes down after Thanksgiving.

    LSI WarpDrive

    I'm sure you've stuck in a normal RAID card, so are familiar with the normal delay. This is shorter than most, well under a second, but it is there.

    It is only 720P, but I imagine that is usually enough for a 27" viewed from some distance away. I suppose it also depends on the source.

    480 is just about right for a C drive for me; I end up having quite a few apps for various projects installed.

    Anyone have a suggestion on a new washing machine?

    If price is a priority and gimicks aren't then this probably won't help you, but I've had my top-of-the-line Samsung units for two years now and they are awesome.

    Win 7 network problem

    An interesting point, Sol. Unfortunately, so much infrastructure was set up statically in the 192.168.0.x range that I would be very hesitant to move it.

    Win 7 network problem

    For the record, Android has a neat app that allows you to override DHCP settings on an AP-specific basis with static profiles, and that does support other subnet masks. I don't know if the newer 2.2 version of Android supports this stuff on it's own, as my phone sucks.

    LSI WarpDrive

    The thing I really like about it? No cables, no configuration. Plug it in, and go. I've also had trouble finding a RAID0 config on a RAID card that would match the performance of these out of the box. I don't doubt that it's possible, but if that is your intent, just buy one of these.

    Best hardware solution for RAIDless storage (20+ drives)

    At this point, I would confirm compatibility with 3TB+ drives before I bought anything. Even if you don't plan on using the drives now, you likely will eventually. None of my Areca or 3Ware cards work with 3TB WD drives.

    Win 7 network problem

    For the record, in testing, older iPhones/iPad touches can't deal with a DHCP subnet mask other than 255.255.255.0. They set themselves to that regardless of DHCP server setting.

    Win 7 network problem

    I'm just talking about changing the subnet mask on everything to 255.255.0.0 and assigning stuff to the Class-B instead. It's just 192.168.x.x, so I don't see it being a problem in theory.

    Police Pursuit

    Actually, it is. Whether it should be or not is a different argument, but the income tax schedule makes it pretty clear what they want to accomplish, and the social benefits seem fairly clear. Agreed 100%. I wish all I had to do was pay a fine, its the points that bother me.

    Solved: Repair install on XP that had IE7/8

    This user is one of mine at work. If I did a nuke and pave, I would have to reinstall all the apps as well. That is at least a day's work, as some of the installs are a real PITA. "rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk" came from a Google search. Pretty neat.

    My experience with the ATI cards is as follows: There are only two timing chips on the card. Therefore only two ports that require timing chips can be used at once. DisplayPort is the only connection that does it's own timing. Therefore you can use as many ports as the card has, but only two...

    Cases

    That system doesn't have any spinning drives in it at all. The case fans blowing directly on the GPU tend to keep the GPU's fan noise under control. Then again, I bought one with an IceQ cooler on it. That case does support suspending your drives, so that should help considerably.
