Well, it is kind of fancy, and set off in the mountains, but not new. The whole thing is horribly exclusive and designed to favor regulars (the putting greens use a different grass than the course, and the holes are quite misleading - the best shot off a tee won't be down the fairway, rather...

I went to Home Depot and those are indeed the same bulbs as I got (just bought them out). I hadn't even tried the other CFLs. Heat, efficency, and lifetime aren't really concerns for me; just the high color temp and fuller spectrum. So 5000k is better for reading? If so I'll have to get a hold...

Thanks you, jtr1962.... After reading the Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED thread, and jtr's information on high-temp CFL bulbs, I've been thinking of giving them a try. I finally was ablt to get 5 6500K, 1100 Lumen CFL bulbs locally for ~$8. I love them. Thanks again for the great...

Omega drivers worked great for me on a 9600Pro....no issues, a bit faster

Yes. Well, I'm playing golf @ the CC this afternoon with them. We usually play for shots of whisky (per hole). Considering I'm the better player, I'll just hold the quote for the back nine ;)

Well, I've never heard the "official" click of death, so I can only assume this is it. There are two phases, one is a real hard seek sound (click click) and the other sonds like a STR test on an X15 (grinnnnd). We'll see if the owner of said drive can place a value on the missing data. He...

Yeah, most places give it 4 stars (of 4). And it better be nice, it's more than the Ritz Carlton in San Francisco. It strikes me as sufficently luxurious to keep the lady impressed. The last time we went was on her dime (har parent's actually, she's a student :-? ) And we stayed at the regular...

Man, after reading this thread I've been thinking of hot dogs for the last 2 days :( The sushi place I like does some more original pieces. They include more herbs and spices (ginger, garlic, oregano, etc), and the quality of the fish is excellent (a must).

I have here a 20GB drive with the click of death, the info on it is quite valuable. What is the likelyhood that this data is recoverable through a professional service?

Gah, forgot about Chinese and hot dogs! The chinese here is quite good. In San Jose and in particular Chinatown in San Francisco (where the immigration primarily took place). Thai food in Thailand is commonly worse than available here due to the lower quality of available ingridients.

Anyone stayed here? I've stayed at the Disneyland Hotel before, and it's quite "ghetto" to use the SoCal slang. Dated, to say the least. It's part of a vacation I promised my GF, I haven't taken one in years. Comments?

Heh, I actually forgot my birthday this year (for the second time in my life)...IMO, the're not good or bad, just another day. But happy B-day anyway :mrgrn:

My current Verizon phone is a LG VX10, I'm quite happy with it. No games, but it is a flip-phone with an external LCD display. I also have a Nextel i733 which absolutely kicks ass. Color screen, GPS (with on-screen readout for location, speed, altitude, etc) and some other cool stuff. Not what...

I was debating calling this "the undrailable thread" but it seems to have held coherency quite well..... My favorite foods (in order) Italian (lasagne, Pizza, other pastas) Thai (Orange Chicken and Pad Thai) American (Burgers, Steaks) Japanese (sushi) I am a picky eater, so there's not that...

I don't even know what an "ignore" function would do...care to enlighten me?

Mmmm...Thai Orange Chicken...tasty :o

I understand why; it wold be better if everyone made more money! Of course, the fact that this is completely impossible to pay people more without charging more for the product, thereby increasing the cost of living, thereby negating all the work you did in the first place! So the real question...

Although it would be wonderful for everyone to make at least $45,000 a year, some jobs are not capable of making that much money. No matter how kind the owner of a McDonald's is, the burger flipper is going to make much less. It's not possible for the owner to pay that salary for that job...

I like it better than anything else I've tried *shrugs*

Who makes the sound chip for nVidia's onboard (Soundstorm) audio? Just curious....

Ugh, yeah I can totally see where that impression could be given. To clarify, every employee is either an assitant manager, a manager, or an owner. I have to include the word "manager" in their title as they will be left to tend the store on their own, and be held responsable for cash, closing, etc.

It's in with my MSDN, but I'm still running 2k3 Std. for my home domain. I don't need all the extras....

Coug, Sorry for the insult at the beginning of my post, I'm just very frustrated at the personal insults originating from a more general conversation.

Are you smoking crack? How can offering EVERY employee the opportunity to make significant amounts of money be called elitest? Clearly you've never owned your own business. The problem with determining the pay of your employees is that you're never quite sure what you'll make. If I offered them...

Ugh....sorry for the drunk post guys.... Belvadere is a very nice Vodka. So nice, in fact, that 750ml+195lb male+2L water = no hangover. It's known as being the purest (filtered through a thin sheet of marble IIRC) and deserves it's rep as a hangover-free beverage.

...the 750ml bottle of Belvadire I just consumed, or the medication I will consume tomorrow to combat this beast? Sorry I won't be around to read the responses, I'll be playing driving sims until I pass out.

In my new company, everyone will recieve minimum wage. Managers and assistant managers will also recieve profit-sharing based on their position. Owners income will be 100% profit-based. And IMHO, an economy should enhace the lives of those who enhance the society.

See sig. I am very confident in this OC, but still wouldn't sell one.

The system was originally purchased by someone who didn't know what they were doing. They bought an accounting system, and didn't realise it wasnt windows based. So the bought an AS/400 to run it on, and bought emulator cards for everyone in the office, and ran a second star of Cat5, and paid a...

grr, sorry for the double...too-late typo correction :(

The balance of supply and demand is self sustaining. Using unions to create artificially high manufacturing costs will only hurt our economy. I must be missing something. I (like most others here) work in an industry without unions, and mostly without standardised certification (it exists, but...

My mom's a public school teacher, so I agree. But an artificial support in a capitalist society is wrong. When workers get shit on, they have the right to leave. When lower quality labor comes in and does a bad job, the consumer has a right to buy from a different manufacturer. It's the...

by importing the foreign disk....RAID or not

Funny, still no links or stats or anything....my vaporware/BS meter is starting to go crazy.

I also think your journey worthy of a published work. If you're going to crank out a simple version just for us anyway, might as well do it right and make the journey tax-deductable.

Yes, in anticipation of the upcoming 12.4 standard, I'm just lining the walls with speakers and creating an array of subs bolted under the floor.

Hardly. I am not trained on AS/400s, and have no desire to be. From the basic functions I have performed, I am glad to be rid of it. Besides the fact that using emulator cards and an entirely seperate network topology is completely nuts.

We are ditching the AS/400 for a windows-based product. It is set for 'NT Password Authentication' Phisycal security is good, and the systems auto log off (at least his does), so I think passwords during launch would only piss him off.

How on earth did I miss Tony's return? I've been egerly folowing this tread for some time now! Welcome back! I look forward to seeing your "voice of reason" in all the apropriate places.... :mrgrn:

Well, you and your squirrels can have the US. I'm so dissapointed and disillusioned...I'm going to leave for....wait...it's still the best place? Damn....nevermind.

Thanks for the tips. My next move is to join his computer to the .local domain and see what happens. I am pretty familar with building an AD, and am in the process of fixing things. This was a company that grew to 50 people before deciding to hire a local (crappy) company to set them up. The odd...

Ok, here's where the description gets messy... The computer is running XP Pro and is not part of any domain. I am in the process of repairing the situation described below, I did NOT create this mess There are currently 2 domains (each with their own DC and DNS servers) company.com and...

bon = server no idea how that happened.... :eekers:

This is not storage related in the least, if it belongs in the P&B, please move it Just went live opn the first exchange bon in a domain (both 2003). Every machine went perfectly except the CEOs (figures). His machine insists on asking for the username/domain/password before loading every time...

When I was hiking in the Himalayas they had a system rigged to the sat-phone uplink. IIRC it was at about 15000ft (Anapurna range), it was for requesting medivac from altitude sickness ;) It looked like a stock white box.

Here the temp never goes below 65F if the systems are running, but it will go above 100F if I leave the blinds open, the door closed, and the systems running (the window is about 5'x5' and double-paned, greenhouse affect is amazing). No problems. I do have systems running in non-enviro...
