Try to look at it from their perspective. With respect, you could have made your point succinctly in about one paragraph. You clearly breached all of these rules. And they probably felt you breached these, particularly after you ignored virtually all the posting rules!

Yeah, despite the fact that the UI has changed completely over the years ...

Normally, I'm sympathetic to Tannin's rants, but this time, he's jumped the shark. Allowing each tab to have its own Close button is a huge improvement in UI clarity, which is why it has been adopted by virtually everything and is a standard for new software. It's a nice hybrid of MDI, but with...

Guy with same problem He used XXCopy, which is a formidable but compatible piece of kit that costs about $25/server (or something like that). For a freebie, use Robocopy, or better yet, RichCopy.

Would this affect Windows Server?

Yep. So Dave, I guess this means you'd fail Chewy's job criteria (like the rest of us)?

Thanks Stereodude, you saved me the hassle. The math looks good and provides particularly valuable info for the members of this forum. You can find guidelines on the web that recommend limiting RAID-5 to some arbitrary number of drives, eg 10. Even that would make me edgy, I lack Davin's...

I didn't want to kick you while you were down, but don't you think 13 drives is way too much for safety with RAID-5? I was going to suggest RAID-6 at least, but then I read this: Why RAID 6 stops working in 2019 So, it's possible to show mathematically that past a certain storage size, the...

Not to mention any semblance of battery life ... In my experience, Asus has similar battery runtime to other brands. IMO, battery runtime is primarily an inverse function of screen size, with graphics and CPU power having secondary effects. And of course wireless reduces it further. The Asus...

Or remote backup, whatever. So I want to backup at least 50GB of files over the net, but there are two problems: 1. Lousy upload speed, probably only about 1.5Mbps 2. ISP that charges for uploads, with an included quota of no more than 60GB. If we pay the ISP vast sums of money the first...

Don't know what you've been smoking, but a quick look at NewEgg turns up this: Comparable weight (+155g), same HDD and RAM, possibly(?) equivalent graphics, comparable CPU, but a 15.6" screen instead of a 14". Just $20 more. If you're not in love with Win7, this offers: Same weight...

What do they want "notebooks" for? True portability, transportability, space saving or coolness? If the answer is in the last two, there are better solutions. When they first stormed the market 5 or 6 years ago, Asus were a terrific buy. Now, I'm not so sure, although AFAIK they still have a...

:lol: Don't worry Doug, I read it the same as you. We're both a bit slow ...

By that logic, you shouldn't criticize a Toyota unless you own one. ---------- Timwhit is a valued member of the forum, it's offensive to call him a troll. Udaman is just an Apple troll sock puppet who occasionally gets right up other people's noses. Like others, I mostly don't care unless he...

It says it's line-interactive, and the APC website lists AVR, so yeah. I don't know why it's even configurable, just another pointless bell or whistle.

Wow, that really sucks. :( Still, there's an extra 2.5dBmV for you to play with ... :owneddnce:

Yeah, the only reason I didn't go for that is that Liam *implied* the problem affected more than one PC. Is that the case? Good to hear that it's now working, anyway. Cheers!

I said ping the IP address, not the URL. Try 195.225.217.194 directly. It seems pretty clear you're being blocked at an IP level, not a DNS level, despite the Smoothwall shenanigans. The-Cloak is a proxy server. It doesn't prove anything. *IF* you really can access successfully with your...

Firstly, it's got nothing to do with DNS because the URL resolved to the correct IP address ... but I think Liam's already figured that out. It looks like anyone can ping the IP address, so that's probably a first step to try. I assume you've tried a different browser? You'd obviously want to...

Change ISPs? You're not with TPG by any chance?

Ah, New Wave computing then, I see.

Greg, I think people might soon be begging you to consider a harmonious positioning of that fabled i7 laptop somewhere about your person. Unfortunately, the deployment is unlikely to be synergistic.

I agree with Mercutio. It's not unique to email, but you guys are trying to make out that email is 'special'. ANY other type of business document will mention the context before the response. Yes, I'm pretty sure it was introduced by Outlook. Every other email client that I've ever used, quotes...

There's nothing wrong with your modem stats, but you'd expect that because it's currently working ... You'd have to check when you started to have dropouts. Because your S/N is so good, there isn't much to worry about. The extra 2.5dB attenuation (6 - 3.5) has pushed your upstream closer to the...

Accordingt to this, in 2006 he was worth $128M.

Regarding your second question, I'd check the S/N first - your answer may be right there. If all looks peachy, then you've got a flaky modem, and good luck convincing the ISP of that. In my several years on cable, I went through about 4 modems and 3 big fights with the ISP. Of course, you...

I haven't had to get my hands dirty with cable modems since Motorola lifted their game a few years back. As I recall, you can check the signal level/noise yourself by browsing the modem's inbuilt http server on 192.168.100.1 (?) If your signal is going through a passive splitter (1 in 3 out)...

Read this thread. The problem sounds very similar. To save time, just read the first and last posts. In his case, apart from a BIOS reset, the SSD was the culprit.

Dave, can you or someone else explain how this works in a little more detail? Exactly what do you have to do to maintain and access a local cached copy of your gmail database?

So if no-one apart from CougTek and I use it, what do people use for a POP3/IMAP client?

Does anyone else use this POS? Perhaps it's just me, but the search function is absolute shit in version 3. I really have no idea in what way this product has improved since version 1. Does anyone use it with Gmail, or do you just rely on the web interface?

That depends on how you define deadliest, eg. Cobra's aren't very venomous compared to Australian snakes, but there's a lot of them and a lot of humans live where they do, so they end up killing quite a few people. It's very possibly right if you're talking about survivability after an...

What may be more of a deal-breaker for you is that the current software limits way points to within a 255m radius of the starting point (510m diameter area). Don't know if that's a temporary limitation or a safety feature. The software is open source, so in theory, you should be able to change...

Whoops, sorry! Yes, they're 21.85€ each and you'll need two. That adds $us 60.

Also, I think your damage allowance is way over the top. The craft is self-righting and designed to fly with missing or damaged propellers, so unless you slam it into the ground, I'm not sure how you could cause significant damage. It's also significantly more robust than toys like the Parrot...

How did you calculate that, Dave? From the What do I need? page: MK Basicset Okto 1500€ DX7 transmitter 260€ Receiver cable 7€ Ultramat 14 charger 90€ Charging cable 6€ Tx charging cable 4€ Navi-Ctrl 120€ GPS receiver 70€ Compass 65€ 2x Bluetooth sets 114€ HiSight II camera mount 100€ Spare...

Priceless, Greg. :lol:

Apple's future won't be brought to you by the letter 'i'

Sounds good to me. ;)

I ran some scenarios through it and it looks pretty reasonable to me. Thanks for posting it.

Uninstall any A/V or other anti-malware software and see if that affects boot time. They can intercept every disk access - not good. Once booted, is the memory usage at the desktop reasonable? You're not running Nero on this are you? Is the Windows Indexing Service disabled? If you haven't...

Thought there were probably enough geeks here to start a separate thread for this. I was inspired by the amazing MicroKopter RC helicopters, which really qualify as UAV. There are other consumer-UAVs out there, but these just blew me away. HexaKopter Enhancements Aerobatics The active-servo...

It's a bit weird. 8 digits for numbers in the same state (more or less) 10 digits for other states, but the first digit is always zero ... 10 digits for cell phones, and again, the first digit is always zero. So really, a maximum of 9 digits. Personally, I was able to memorize 7 digits, but...

Corsair talks about a 4-10 digit PIN. Hashed or not (and it will be, to get 256 bits), a 4-digit PIN would be pretty easy to crack. If they truly don't allow alphabetical characters, I'd hate to have to remember a 10-digit number.

Apple has a history of claiming inventions as their own and then attempting to use vexatious litigation to turn the claims into reality. Multi-touch was invented in 1982 and not by Apple. The grounds for their suit against HTC appear to be spurious patents, that as usual, should never have...

Not at all. The extra RAM allows more data cache which means less disk accesses - obviously a good idea in this case ... The Lenovo X300 used this ultra-low-power CPU in the interests of exceptional battery runtime. However, it also came with an SSD drive that makes the overall package quite...

I don't know what they could do for you that you can't do already. You can easily find free utilities that command the drive to do a self-test, so you no longer need Samsung HUTIL etc. I usually use SpeedFan (later versions only) because it also takes care of temperature and voltage monitoring...

Given you could already do this several months ago with at least some Gigabyte motherboards, I don't understand how it's either new or exclusive. I tried it last year and although it initially seemed okay, one of the cores wasn't sufficiently stable for long-term use. I recall CougTek having a...

Keep doing that and you'll go blind
