Sigh indeed, Tea. One more little voice in my head wondering why I haven't purchased one yet.

I've had 6 in systems for several weeks.

That is the anti-TED...

The last thing a camcorder needs is a long reach. No one seems to be able to keep still as it is.

Proxies? A cache server of some kind? Adblocking?

Sweet! Do the diamonds have some kind of DRM?

There were 6 minutes between his post and yours. I took 2. That isn't really that fast. All depends on how intensely I'm procrastinating at work ;)

Just an update, been running this on my own machines and some (cheap) clients, and it actually found something! It was able to detect and clean a real virus! No complaints, really.

It is indeed much better, and very snappy. I suspect I could get 99% of the perceived gain using the Vertex, but I don't think I'll switch back until I have a use for this X-25E.

That would be the problem ;) I'll prescribe more Dilbert until the condition improves.

ATTO of X25-E on U100: Not bad, actually.

Windows Experience Index: CPU: 2.2 RAM: 4.5 2D: 2.0 3D: 2.0 HDD: 6.8 Yay! ;)

Running the Windows Experience Index at the moment...I'll run ATTO when that is through.

It is a waste, and it is just for curiosity. The system will end up with the 30GB Vertex in it, I just had the X-25E sitting around and thought I'd try it out.

Nope. Since they have more sales people than engineers, they figured it would be easier to convince everyone that they didn't want to change batteries than design a changeable battery.

Installed to the 160GB SATA fine, imaged to the X-25E fine. Boots fine off the X-25E. What a PITA.

That is the current plan. I'll let you know how it goes.

Just grabbed a random 160GB SATA drive from the shelf and 7 sees it no problem. The only thing I can think is that the capacity (32 and 30GB) played a role?

The chipset is 945GSE+ ICH7-M, even XP sees it without anything special. Just 7 has the problem.

Same issue with the Vertex. Recognized in BIOS, Ubuntu installs just fine. 7 won't list the drive at all. About to try XP.

Considering we are discussing changing the behavior of users, I'm going with neither ;)

This is the problem, and replying in-line is a poor fix. The correct fix is having people communicate effectively by saying what they mean.

I'm tempted to start relying like this ;) If I get an e-mail, odds are I know what it is referring to from the subject. I certainly wouldn't want to re-read the whole thing. If I am lost, the content is right there at the bottom. To be honest, only two things are really annoying: 1. Inserted...

It is interesting. Apple does make sexy hardware, with the exception of some brain-dead hardware limitations (obviously the result of marketing or RIAA lobbying), and the make nice interfaces with major restrictions on software anti-competitive BS, etc. In other words, they would make great...

Agreed ;)

Ubuntu 9.10 went on no problem. Next step is to swap it out for a 30GB Vertex.

That does look cool, Merc. I'm getting the impression that software that works with these newer form factors has a long way to go.

So you want the text that has already been read to be on top of the text that is new? No one I know does it this way, seems pretty lame to me.

Thanks for the tips, I'll have to put off trying it until tomorrow.

1. Click on "settings" in the top right. 2. Click on the tab called "offline" 3. Click the button that says "Enable Offline Mail for this computer" 4. It will prompt you to install the Google Gears plugin and restart Firefox 5. Leave the machine logged into your mail for a while to sync your...

Unbox a brand new MSI U100. Pop the back case, install a 1GB DIMM (Rendition 1GB PC2-6400), swap out the hard drive with an Intel X-25E, put the case back on. Boot up, go into the BIOS. Confirm that the RAM and SSD are recognized. Plug in a USB DVD-ROM and stick in a stock 32-bit copy of...

That is funny.

I've done a hundred or so systems in the NSK3480; it is my default case unless they upgrade to the P180. I can't recall any power supply failures. As a hedge, you might sell UPS at cost with systems, just to protect the stuff you are guaranteeing. Congrats on growing your business!

You make some points, Tannin, but they aren't as strong as you make them sound. 1. Lack of web connectivity: Redundancy, Google Gears, HTML5 2. Having a local backup of your data in an open, accessible format is common sense either way. 3. I have an e-mail client that is automatically updated...

I consider any non-web-based e-mail client to be the trailer. If e-mail is a tool, than simple is better than complicated. Any e-mail client is more complex than no e-mail client.

Bummer indeed. Tom Cruise is a pathetic substitute.

Feeling dumb, which is unfortunately common for me. Trying to install Windows 7 i386 on an MSI 100 Netbook with some mods: 2GB RAM, 32GB X-25E Did the upgrades, everything is recognized in the BIOS, Win7 boots from the USB DVD just fine. It just refuses to see the drive. BIOS sees the drive...

There is no j, assuming you meant g or h? I ended up going with this: /c/f/h/e/h/x/g/i I'll confirm the files afterward.

(Searching for a car metaphor) Accessing GMail though POP3 is kinda like having a beautiful sports car and hauling it around on the back of a flatbed truck. Sure you get some of the perks (SPAM filtering), but you seem to have gone out of your way to not get some of the others (access from...

Thanks for the sanity check. That looks about right. I don't do it enough to know all the switches, but the help file is pretty good at it.

I have no need for a POP3/IMAP client. GMail (and their SPAM filters) all the way!

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you...install a 32GB X-25E in a U100 netbook ;)

I'm way too tired to be doing critical stuff, and would like some verification before I mess up. File Server is a member of the Domain and has 3 large (RAIDed) drives on it formatted NTFS. Drives A, B, and C contain 1-3TB of data each. C is large enough to store everything, and I'd like to move...

In my city the tallest building it about 6 stories, so keeping it at 150' would be high enough to not be audible and low enough to not interfere with flights. I doubt many would even see it, much less be able to identify it.

When we started living here I was gaming online quite a bit. Then I appreciated the three loadbalanced T1s for their amazing low latency. Now I wish I had the bandwidth that a simple cable modem can offer. Once we move into the city where such things are available, I'm going to have as big a...

Mudslides, working in the heavy construction business, and being in the right place at the right time ;)

Very tight quarters. Patch panels in a rack that has a door 4" in front of it. Right now many of the cables squish against the door, and some effort is required to close it. Not a good thing.

I have to agree Gilbo, but have you tried voice recognition with anything but a headset? I have a Blue Snowflake condenser mic 18" in front of me, and the reliability of Dragon Naturally Speaking falls off very fast.

I don't have one yet, but I'm considering. My current laptop is by far the oldest computer I own (CoreDuo CPU...note the lack of a "2" in there). I'm tempted to hold off until the 32nm chips show up, to see what kind of efficiency gains can be had.

Looks good to me. Of course, my question would be what is the latency of a seek while a file copy is ongoing?
