Interesting product! Do provide feedback on your experiences. If it works as advertised, it would be worth the $40 non-sale price.

Somewhat tangentially on topic: Tiny quad-core ARM Linux computer at $129 Raspberry Pi's $35, 700MHz Linux computer Good for Smoothwall and such?

Congrats, you guys! Enjoy your cars! SD, thanks for the info on the Llumar film. Sorry for the delay in my thanks; I was away for about a month.

Congrats! (sorry for the delay, been away for a long time). What Chewy said.

My sub expired this Feb. If the first point in your post applies to me, I'm screwed, because I haven't installed a single product. All I've done so far is download keys and the iso files. I guess this also means for a guy like me, who would have had spare keys to use in the future and who...

I can dull a blade after a few shaves :( Don't have a lot of hair, but what's there is like steel cable.

SD, got any links that will help me read up on Blue AIR 80? Thanks. Google seems to throw up mostly vendors

I'm just now planning to move to Win-7 :)

+1. Turning on the range hood is a sureshot recipe for a headache within 10 minutes.

Some months ago I sent Tony a PM on a topic of interest to him (I was going to ship him something if he wanted it), but he never replied. He must still be out shooting birds with his multiple cameras.

Agreed. But JLR seemed to do pretty well in the last 18 months. Maybe that was an anomaly.

That's a problem of a different meaning in a different language. With globalization, this is bound to occur. There is a common German last name that means "dick" in an Indian language; so what?

I'm not aware of the association between breasts and that word. Tata is a surname used by this family for > 200 years. I don't think they picked it because of a more recent association with boobs.

You're barking up the wrong tree. Incidentally they own Jaguar and Land Rover.

Being the skeptic and privacy freak that I am, I've never believed in storing anything online. The day might come when every OS on every device does it, and I'll go there kicking and fighting till my last breath. Just look at how the so called gold-standard guys get hacked - credit card processors.

Isn't Honor Blackman Pussy Galore? :-D

Coug has always had a way with words, even if his English competence wasn't up to snuff in the early days. He's got a large funny bone, real or virtual, in his head.

Sorry to hear that, Bozo. What Merc said is true, but you'll miss him nonetheless.

She's cute! How'd you guys take the middle pic? It's interesting how they reach out to you and make friends. There's a connect that can;t be described. I guess that's why you took her home.

Zelda's a beaut. Pics of the little one?

Congrats & Best Wishes, Handy!

One of the cars I had got a chip in the windshield. I ignored it, and it grew into a crack that got progressively worse till I had to have the windshield changed. When I got a chip in my next car, I bought some stuff at an auto parts store and fixed it myself. It worked really well; the chip...

Don't think it'll work. I got it to boot once with 4 dimms, but BIOS and memtest saw only two. Got into Windows, then hung. Of the 4 slots / 2 banks it has, DFI explicitly recommends using only the orange bank. When I use only two dimms and put them in the yellow bank, system won't boot. With...

Thanks. I spent *all* day yesterday googling. Found a thread where a guy got it running stable with 4 x 1GB dimms. Fortunately he posted his bios settings. Unfortunately, I don't know the specs of his RAM. This was in 2008. I also downloaded some tools and printed out how my system treats...

Merc, I don;t think setting CAS speed alone will help. There are more issues at play here. Maxburn: I don;t know how to do that, unless you';re referring to the CAS setting alone. Thanks BBB. I'll check them out. It appears that 4 sticks is a rarity on this board for obvious reasons - it is a...

I enjoy them as much as you do. But I think having one in the title may be a bit too much.

No offense meant, Merc.

In case people didn't click the link, the motherboard is a DFI LANPARTY UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert. Thanks BBB, but I'm lost as to how / where to do it. The options on this MB are binary: either you pick auto for everything, or there's a trillion options that are meaningless to me. In case anybody...

Y'all will recollect that I aborted my attempt to build a new system because of the job situation. I had purchased 2 sticks of RAM from Clocker in fall 2007 with the intention of adding them to this PC, but had never got to it (inertia is the most powerful force in the universe). I decided...

Is no mod going to correct the title of this thread?

Got a link, fb?

Awesome!

As has been suggested, try the Macallan at a pub first; the 18 yr sure is expensive, almost in Blue Label territory. Macallans have a smokey flavor because of the casks they are aged in. It works for me! There's quite a difference between Glenlivet 12 & 18. Sadly, the price rises exponentially...

There were aftershocks or repeat earthquakes, but no tsunami, thankfully. These were sliding type earthquakes, so they didn't generate one. I didn't see anything about casualties, so I think we got off good on this one.

Cool!

+1 !

I felt a slight swaying at 2:30 pm local time. Thought I was hallucinating, but it lasted a good 15 seconds, though barely enough to notice. My brother who lives across town (about 20 km as the crow flies) said his apartment building shook for about 5 minutes, enough for everybody to flee the...

Macallan 15yr and older is awesome.

No idea sir, I am out of touch with a world wizzing by too fast!

Sorry was out a couple of days. LM is correct. Use Truecrypt to mount the encrypted container (folder) as a logical drive. Then access / use it. All use is transparent. You can drag and drop, open a file with an app, etc. When done, use Truecrypt to unmount the drive. Or shutdown the PC, which...

Here you go. Scroll down to the "Chipset Comparison" table.

Use the "Encrypted File Container" option. Store the sensitive files there. I've been using Truecrypt for the last 8 years or so. Has never, ever, failed. Be warned, if you forget the password you're screwed. There are ways to back up the key access info; make sure you read up.

I'm not suggesting the individual viewpoint is valuable. I'm referring to the aggregate of the opinions. If a WD product has 1500 reviews and is rated at 4.5 eggs or stars, I would seriously consider that product over another that had 20 reviews and 5 eggs or 500 reviews and 4.5 eggs.

Don't the high number of reviews (comparatively speaking) on the 'Egg and Amz say anything? Granted, there are crackpots in there, but still.

Based on Anandtech's write-up, the H77 seems to be the budget chipset. Single PCIe slot, no CPU overclocking.

Thanks Coug. But I only use the English version of all sw.

I think I'll buy a couple of Nokia Symbian phones while they're still available. Darn good phones, do everything I need. At least I can put off the day when I have to parade naked in front of the world.

Coug, you have a way with words!
