I read that, too. But it just won't. It got to the drive selection, I was able to choose the SSDs and format, but the "OK" button would not allow me to proceed.

Can I tempt you for just over $1000?

If you are willing to pay $300 and only need 16GB, get an SSD. A warning, though, Vista won't install on even a 48GB drive.

Nope, it isn't. But it is a description of the product, and I trust the quantifiable numbers. It is good enough to keep SSDs out of my high-end builds for a while longer.

Because it would get spanked. I didn't read a single negative thing about the drive in the whole review.

I thought that it could.

I think the VelociRaptor will keep SSDs out of the mainstream for a bit longer. 300GB Capacity <10W power consumption 6.9ms access time

Composite. Or a mirror. Edit: I would be interested in seeing that picture, too.

I've been hooked on the BBC show "Grand Designs" for about 3 months now (I have all 8 seasons). Since we do want to build a house at some point; I've been busy designing stuff.

I'm beating Test Drive: Unlimited again. The only objectives left to complete are to drive every road and to log 5,000 miles (yes, I've already done this once).

That is my first instinct, but I'm trying to be financially responsible. I do want it before we go to Moscow in a month. Besides the speed and length, are there other quantifiable/tangible differences?

Because I can search by the data in Flickr and on my local machine? I would actually also like the camera to embed gps data as well. Of course, I understand the need/desire to not share this information with everyone all the time, but for many of my images (wildlife, landscapes, etc) it would...

Great Picture I'm trying to decide between the Sigma 10-20 and the Canon 10-22. I know the Canon has a larger range and is faster, but it costs 30% more.

I had a conversation with my grandmother quite a while ago. She started the conversation, and in it specified exact performance guidelines that she wanted to maintain for the rest of her life. She asked me to "take care of it" should she fall outside of those guidelines. I agreed. She isn't...

No idea. (pui)

He is alright as of about a week ago.

I've been in and out all day. Having issues with the turn-up on a T-1 that is a couple hundred miles away, dealing with configuring a PIX firewall (PITA), and re-creating the mysteriously removed MX records from a domain on Network Solutions.

IMHO, The better details are usually in the shadows.

It looks to be a straight DR issue to me, I would have certainly taken it to -1 at least.

Around here we also have a local wireless company, almost DSL speeds for %125 the cost.

That would be a great sales trick? "Want the best camera? You actually need to buy two!"

...and it is much, much faster just surfing around and posting crap.

It downloaded here at pretty much my maximum DL speed (~11 seconds @ 500KB/s)

Cool. I'm down to 32GB free on my array, time for another disk...

Sounds great. I hope you are feeling better.

I'll be in and out for the next few days, but I could beat it up if you like.

10 inches? Dude....

But on a hardened XP system, there was a significant degree of granularity to the controls and security. If program x was poorly written and required access to system file y, you could change just that bit. With UAC it is either on or off.

At last they succeeded at something....

...without cracking the protection, which is also possible.

I've thought about that a few times. A couple from tango are on a Fulbright to Stanford, when they return to Melbourne I might pay a visit.

I doubt I'll use the whole width, it's just that I client got a new wide-format printer for plotting, and it turns out to have 6 color cartridges and a "photo" mode. Photo paper of those sizes is insanely expensive, mounting is impossible, and where the hell are you going to hang it? I want to...

I agree, but that wasn't the question. My dad drives a convertible with a crappy stereo. Anyone know?

Thanks e_dawg. Some of these panoramas are bigger than that. I found access to a 64" wide by 100' long color printer, and am getting ready to try it out.

I'm still working on my "gutter light" design. Start with a piece of aluminum gutter and appropriate ends. Line the inside with reflective, heat-resistant materiel (aluminum foil?). Install lighting solution of your choice. Mount ~2 feet from the ceiling. Lots of indirect lighting. I'm...

I often think it would be good to live close to some of the folks here. My closest friends are 40 and 120 miles away, and not in the direction of my commute. We are going to visit Olga's best friend for dinner, 100 miles away, tonight for the first time in about 6 months.

Anyone know whether it is legal to drive with both ears covered? Headphones or the like?

Always a good thing. I found that whenever I was single I was almost desperate to get out and do something. When I was sick or stuck at home I would start climbing the walls after about 12 hours. Strange considering I get fairly anxious when I'm around large groups or even small groups of...

I have always found the common calculation (viewing distance/2=screen size) to be too small. I find a 1-1 ratio works much better with my crappy vision.

I would blame it more on the F@H people. They have never made user-friendly-ness a priority, even on their Windows apps. There are many mainstream apps that install easily in Ubuntu.

Get the biggest that fits. Look at how long you held onto your last TV. I really like my Sharp AQUOS 42" 1080p. The colors are great, and the brightness automatically adjusts to the rooms ambient lighting (good for a bedroom). It looks to be going for about $1200 new right now, which is what I...

Photoshop won't install on my machine because I can't get SP2 installed for some strange reason, GIMP won't deal with 16-bit TIFF images, and PAINT.NET just pukes on images this large. GIMP has it open, which is nice.

Any suggestions for applications that can edit images in excess of 20000x10000 pixels? Recommended file formats?

That sounds pretty crappy Lunar. Typically, if something was bad and it is over, things get better sooner or later.

Some content is protected so it won't display unless the signal from source to screen is encrypted using HDCP. HD-DVD and BlueRay both require this, but can be bypassed with appropriate software. I haven't heard of online video sources locking it down in a similar fashion. Where did you read...

15 per 100k doesn't sound too bad to me. Lower the weight of the cars and increase the speed limit until it hits 50 or so (0.05%).

Honestly didn't know. Though I do love cars, I was never a gear-head. I'll read up on it when I get home.

Funny. Including YouTube videos from Richard Branson, Sergey, and Larry

This one I don't understand. Either the fuel is being combusted for power or it is going out the back end, no? The only way to reduce the amount going out the back is to burn it more completely in the engine (hence, more power)? Or is it something in the delayed valve timing?

I have some of the 1TB version in software RAID-1 under Server 2003 R2. They are just normal drives to me...
