I was thinking about some kind of repeater. I'm not all that farmiliar with wireless networking, but couldn't you put an antenna in the car, hooked up to a laptop that would then forward the signal to your house where you could somehow wire it into your own AP?

I was prescribed Vicodin a few years ago when I went over the handlebars of my bike and sprained my jaw. That was the first time I had ever had prescription pain killers, and the first time I ever use a pain killer that actually worked. That stuff puts you in a crazy daze...

How much does it cost to play? What kind of advertising are you going to do? You should really get a permit to serve booze after 10pm. Could boost business, plus selling alcohol is a great way to make money.

Either way, the new Seagate 10K drives are not very loud. Idle noise is no worse than a few year old 7200 RPM ATA drive, and seeks aren't terrible either. It's not like a Barracuda 7200.7, but they aren't really that loud anymore. If the rest of your computer is completely silent, then a 10K...

I installed a couple of those in RAID 1 when they were fairly new. Kind of sounded like a jet fighter taking off when you turned on the computer.

Since when? I can never find anything with the search function.

I have a Cheetah 36ES 18GB, which is a little bit older than the 10k.6 and it is not loud at all. It is not louder than my CPU fan or my PS fan. I wouldn't worry about the noise, these new drives are fairly quiet. Check the SR database on noise if you want to get a comparison.

Geez, what a horrible translation. I wonder if translation software will ever get to the point of being useful? When I was taking German, I used to try to use it, and the only use I could find was translating single words, or extremely simple sentences. Even then the translator would fail at...

BTW you should get some percocet, stuff works wonders for pain. Need a prescription though.

I'm attempting to keep my wisdom teeth for as long as possible. I figure that if I have enough room in my mouth for them, then I will just go ahead and keep them.

Sorry to say anything offtopic, but where is Coug, haven't seen him since I got back into town on Sunday.

They're Western Digital, right? I don't think reliable is the right word for any hard drive made by Western Digital. From what I've heard they can hardly be considered top echelon in that department.

Guest? I didn't know that this forum allowed guests?

T- Get a Subaru WRX wagon, plenty of power and room for your gear. Probably a pretty steep price tag though. I drove a sedan and it was damn fast.

Please, don't buy a Wrangler. I owned one for a year and the things are utterly unreliable. Plus 12mpg in the city is not very desirable. They are so loud on the highway that a normal conversation with a passenger is not possible. I think the Subaru would probably suit your needs just fine.

I've been listening to that soundtrack since the movie came out in 1996, still as good as ever.

I knew you would have some flip remark about that one.

Ya, I was wondering why you hide?

Hmm, interesting sentiment.

Or just copy a few huge files over to the drive and use their MD5 signatures to see if they have changed. Kind of what sechs said, but simpler.

Are you serious? I thought you mentioned in another thread that you don't know anything about investing?

Did you try filling up both of the partitions and verifying that all the data is still there?

I had three semesters and that was only a year ago, and I can hardly remember any of it. German really isn't my forte though.

My DVDs are just movies, but I don't want to lose them. In the next couple of years if storage prices fall enough (and I make enough money), then I would consider keeping all my DVDs live and just keeping then on DVD for backup purposes.

How would you propose storing 200 DVDs worth of data on live storage? That would cost a fortune. Especially when it is redundant.

It was more recent than that. I bet it was within the last 8-9 years. The capacity was pretty low. No more than a few hundred megabytes if I remember correctly, and it was extemely slow as well. I think it used either the serial or parallel port for its connection.

I have vowed to avoid WD from now on.

Been around, just not posting as much.

That should be the pull-ups are 'dead hang' not dead hand.

The run differs depending on weather. If the weather sucks then it is run indoors, if it is nice then outdoors. The pull-ups are dead hand and can be either overhand or underhand, your choice. The sit-ups are laying on your back, feet flat on the floor with something or someone holding them...

For me it's Captain and Coke or Seven and Seven. For Merc it's congratulations, without your insight, knowledge, and wit this place wouldn't be what it is at all. You have turned into the cornerstone of SF and I look forward to reading each one of your posts.

Ritek G04 all around here. I only use -R. You can get these for about $1/disc from Newegg. This is probably the most popular higher quality media you can find.

Hmmm the LiDE 50 is USB2.0. Maybe I should get that instead that would probably take care of the whole speed issue. Thoughts?

I'm looking to pick up a cheap scanner, which is small in size and not too expensive. I'm looking at the Canon LiDE 30, which is pretty cheap and it's small and it doesn't need a power adapter because it can be powered from USB. The only drawback I can see is that it is supposedly slow. So is...

Hmm...well getting in shape has proven more elusive than I thought, as Dozer mentioned in the 3rd post. But, now I have a goal and a reason to get into shape. I mentioned in another thread a long while back that I am thinking about joining the Marine Corps OCS program. Well, I am only about...

Congrats Merc. Maybe in about 3 or 4 years I will have that many posts as well. And by that time you will be hitting 10-15000.

Are you saying that you back the gold standard? You must be absolutely nuts.

Would this problem occur when using a firewire drive?

My thoughts exactly.

Not exactly.

I prefer downloading full albums from eMule. Way cheaper and probably more selection as well.

Ya, I saw the :P. We haven't had that much snow this year, but I drove out to Aspen, Co over Christmas and they get plenty of snow. My car barely made it over Loveland Pass (12,000 ft, 6-8% grade). I was getting no traction and was moving at about 1 mph in first gear at 6000RPM. The road...

hahaha very funny. My car is absolutely horrible in the snow. It isn't about fwd or rwd it is all about what kind of tires the car has. The Z rated tires on my Sentra Spec-V get no traction at all. Next winter I am going to be getting some snow tires to put on it.

...but it does look pretty sweet anyways. Didn't see it at the Chicago Autoshow a couple weeks ago either, which is kind of weird.

Lugging my Inwin Q500 around is a real PITA. I usally have between 4-6 hard drives plus 2 optical drives. I'm guessing that it weighs somewhere around 60-70lbs when full.

128kbps is not very fast. 15KB/s, my cable modem provides 2Mbps, which is about equal to 250KB/s. 128kbps is what dual ISDN is, I had that about 7-8 years ago and it sucks compared with any broadband type service.

Ignore Ignore Ignore...everything that comes out of your mouth is pure BS BS BS BS. Put yourself in check, this is a community, not some sounding board for you to spray the shit that is coming out of your mouth.

Let me make this perfectly clear. You add nothing to the discussion here. When the Ignore function is implemented at the end of the month the only person that it will be used on is YOU. Everyone will ignore you and it will be a great day for mankind.

Dude you are so annoying that it makes me want to fly all the way to Sweden and strangle you with the power cord from your computer. Give it a rest I guarantee that everyone here feels similarly to the way that I feel.
