    I hate all of you Americans - Newegg's specials

    I know Maxtor has had the same policy for years; Refurbished drives get 90 days regardless of the length of the original warrentee. I don't keep up of warrentee policies, in general, but I was burned by that particular policy a few years ago by Maxtor.

    [NEWS] - Opteron launches today.

    AMD needs to improve performance: Alot. I expected it to overwhelm and the reviews it is getting are showing mixed results. Further they have the same marketing problem other AMD processors have (Bad MHz with good IPC's). Then there is the expense: They are too expensive which may be...

    Zpeech Impediment?

    I also contacted several businesses for donations but was politely refused. From the "not on the record" discussions, it appears that they are afraid that anyone that looks and talks differently might be a Terrorist. They are deathly afraid of what the Govt. might to if they donated to a...

    Think brain tumor near the speach center. The next stage will be personallity changes followed shortly by death. I've been doing a public collection but so far all I've been able to collect are 25 out of 500 coupons needed for a free visit to a local speach therapest (In Salem). I contacted...

    UNIX CPU BURN IN PROGRAM

    Rather than playing games and tying up the machine to prevent legitimate work from interfering with your desire to use the machine, may I suggest that when your machine is being occupied by this inconvienience, simply change its priority, so that it does not inteterfere with your purposes and...

    Anyone still playing Counter-Strike?

    It is simply a first-person-shooter. It's main benefit compared to others is good internet play with voice communication. That creates the opportunity for people to become social and form communities of players. The big problem with the game is the number of immature "Kiddies" and hackers...

    Typical symptoms of memory running beyond its capabilities

    Ram stability issues can actually have virtually any symptom possible because just about everything goes through ram. With that said, it will normally show up as blue screens or application errors but occasionally it shows up as file system/drive corruption instead. Try running memtest86 for...

    I have a Linksys BEFSR11 and it is room temp (no warmth that I can detect). It is sitting on an Intel 8 port switch (slightly warm) and a sub-woofer is on top of the Linksys. Merc - You are using a Cisco router: What do you expect but dual power supplies for redundancy. Oh, I alsmost forgot...

    Dual NICs for redundancy, howto?

    The GW address is used when the server can't get through. Thus setting the GW to the other card would mean the server would send the down cards packets to the other card. That card would then send the data down the line to the switch/router. The failure mode is easily testable. With the GW...

    Dual NICs for redundancy, howto?

    I'll ask the really dumb question - Why can't you make each the others default gateway. thereby, if the message fails to get through it will be sent via the other network card. If the network cards are attached to a router or switch then they will take care of the details of getting the...

    The transcript has appeared [url=http://www.abc.net.au/am/content/2003/s819900.htm] While still unacceptable behavior, it isn't quite as unacceptable in that the jeeps were being pelted by throwing rocks before any action by the Israelies. It still would have been much better judgement to...

    Tannin, Sorry but I did a quick and dirty web search and disn't find legitimate references to your incident: I didn't try to be particularly complete, so I could easily misses something. I've seen nothing about it on the news. Without independant verification I'm stuck a dis-believer. I...

    I've been watching the news and have heard nothing relating to this incident. I would think that even with the war, that something like this would be making a very big stink world wide.

    Yes, I would actually like the poll edited. On the other hand, since it was misleading it might be better to start it fresh and allow people to re-vote. It is also not a big deal - I was just curious and thus it interest level here is no longer signifigent so that it should die. Opinions?

    Merc, I don't think you can make the automatic assumption that reliability and warrentee's are proportional. If that were the case Hyundai's and Kia's (10 Year, 100,000 mile warrentee's) make cars that last 3x longer, and have less problems than Toyota's and Honda's (3 Year, 36,000 mile...

    Perhaps people are being confused, the prices were intended to be per drive. Thus the 8x250@$300 = $2400 just like the 2@1000GB@$1200 = $2400.

    Dynamic disks have nothing to do with fragmentation. You could easily have a portion of a file at the start and end of a disk and with extended partitions, you could have a part on the first disk as well as then last disk. With extended partitioning you could theoretically get raid-0 like...

    I didn't include the number of drives in the survey. The 250GB should be 8x250GB All 500GB should be 4x500GB All 1000GB should be 2x1000GB and the 2000GB should be 1x2000GB

    For a massive non-raid, single volume storage solution. Which is the most important criteria Price, Speed, size, safety? Do note that multiple drives are using W2k's Extended partitions to make a single partition. If one drive fails then all data is lost.

    I have to admit, I was surprised by this one. I think Cisco got a massive bargin at $500M. I wonder what effect Cisco will have on Linksys. I think Linksys products are generally good quality and at even a better price. Perfect for the consumer market. I hope Cisco does not increase the...
