Thanks for the offer Handruin, I will likely take you up on it when I hear back from them. Their customer service is excellent (as you would expect from a company that makes Enterprise-grade gear), so it shouldn't be long.

Good thought. I'll have to take a look.

Just a dumping ground for information on this sucker. I don't know if you guys are having to deal with it as much as I am. Looking for the fastest, most complete free removal method. Information: Precise Security Bleeping Computer Has anyone used this Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware that is...

Newer external drives are using eSATA instead of USB or Firewire. Seems the native interface is faster. If it was a standard SATA plug, I would hope there is a power adapter to go with it, that would be useful when doing data recovery.

Well, certifiable at least. ;) EE was actually what I did before computers. I had a full-time job designing/prototyping control circuits for RS-232 interfaces in high school (that was 10+ years ago...holy crap).

Good points both. And I'm not sure how I can unmount a drive in Windows. In order to get the drive to detect after power-up, I need to: Go to https://localhost:88/ Log in as administrator Go to the Management Tab and Maintenance Sub-Tab Press the Rescan Controller button The easy way for now...

All the electricity is consumes is released as heat, so mainly it is an indicator of how much energy it is consuming. Can't say whether it is doing anything useful with that energy. I have modded WRT54Gs with fans after overclocking them and turning up the transmit power ;)

I have a box of bricks that I match up to stuff as needed. The 3 bits of information that need to match are: Output Voltage Minimum Wattage (having an over-powered brick is fine) Plug Type/Size I find Radio Shack's iGo series useful most of the time.

Well I certainly would ;)

It is for an adult site. The link below is certainly NSFW. www.abbywinters.com

I'd recommend against upgrades anyway, they never are as clean or as fast, and tend to have more issues.

Thanks to the help of many of you, I now have the data array on my system being powered by a separate PSU. This got me thinking. I only need the array to be available when I am watching movies or listening to music (15% of the time?). So I'm playing with the idea of powering up/down the array as...

For the record, all I did was short the green wire to a ground on an Antec Earthwatts 500W and it is now controlled by input power (always on). It took the load of a dozen drives and is doing a great job. I'll be putting together a new related thread soon. Thanks for all the advice!

Not me. I'm struggling a little at the moment, and won't be in a buying position for another couple months. Besides, I already have 3 SSDs, what are y'all waiting for? ;)

Sounds like a blast. Have you submitted your resume yet, Merc?

Glad to hear you figured it out. I certainly wouldn't have been of any use ;)

As a system reseller, you can still get OEM copies (I think). But a friend has been doing it a cheaper way. 1. Get a pirated version from online. 2. Download and install all updates until WGA breaks it. 3. "Go legit" by paying the amount Microsoft want to make it legal (which is less than an...

I know a number of people who have worked at different game companies, most notably one whose initials are EA. He says his labs and development machine are all Intel with Intel boards (that is why it came up, we were talking about overclocking). I also knew a guy who worked at Intel performance...

I have a whole bunch, and the only one that broke was when Merc had it ;)

Pay/subsidize the development of the games on Intel hardware in the first place.

That is the impression those sources left me with as well. That the unregulated incoming connection and the large number of open connections (common with BT users - correctable in some firmwares) can mess things up regardless.

I have a Linksys 350N that is flashed with the DD-WRT firmware. I have the MAC of the Vonage box set as high priority in the QoS.

Based on where I'm looking and the basic design, solar or wind would be enough; I'm planning to have both. The primary concern is sizing the battery bank. Water gathering/storage/filtration is another issue. And the one I know how to deal with but don't want to is septic.

Yup, I suspect that one of those will be phasing out my Raptor RAID-0 for games...maybe two in RAID-0 for all the OS/Apps/page...no wonder I don't have any money...

I suppose they mean for the low speed SSDs in cheap computers (like the Eee and such).

I'm still very much interested in building my own house. Off the grid. Kind of an experiment, albeit a very expensive one.

Seconded. I could understand that a standard disk needs a certain access pattern to optimize it's cache, but an SSDs primary advantage is the near-zero access time to anything on the disk! This means that no optimization should be necessary!

I know you could with the previous generation, but I don't think you can with the new ones. But now that they are providing that functionality themselves, I don't think it matters as much.

We have no shared walls (one place per floor), but we do have someone above and below us. They don't like my subwoofer.

So what are the good PnS cameras with RAW? Powershot G9?

Nice. I'm totally enjoying the 10-22. I'm finding that it is the best, most expressive lens I have...unless the object it too far away. And by too far I mean more than a couple feet away for most things and about 20 feet away for large buildings. But other than that, I love it.

That is with the 135/2? I like the third one best...

Uda, is Apple paying you? All those links are directly to fanboy sites?

If you are investigating splitting internet with someone, you will have to do it on the ethernet side of things. And (if you care) that would be them violating their TOS.

My place is 1000 sq.ft. with 1bed/1bath. But it was a steal for the area at <$1.50 per sq.ft. per month.

With small companies, things tend to go "fast and loose" with regard to backups. Congrats on trying to get a handle on things. There are two 2 methods that I can see working in this scenario: 1. Have a server in the office store a backup of everything, have the laptops sync to it during lunch...

Nope. As long as the machine the hard drive is connected to can read the file system, it will handle passing the data to the other machine. Unfortunately, I'm not much of a mac person, so I can't walk you through sharing the drive, but this looks pretty good.

Congratulations. A spammer has chosen to use your e-mail address as the "from" address in a spam campaign. Considering 99% of the addresses they are sending to don't exist, the mailer-daemon at those domains is letting the sender (you) know that the address doesn't exist. I suggest setting up a...

Sounds like you need a duct and a fan to get the air circulating from the 1st to the 3rd. That or set the 1st floor AC to 60F.

I'm loving the new racing game GRID, as it can keep my quad core at 75-85% full at all times, and suck up 1.5GB of RAM on it's own. It's good that games can take advantage of modern hardware.

I would go with option #3. Sharing on the network should be really easy and it gives you access to the data from both machines at the same time. Is one a desktop? If so I would share it from there. What is the OS of any desktop machine (or least mobile laptop) you have?

With Action Packs I have, with MSDN I have not. I haven't had an MSDN since I found out about Action Packs.

I thought the main difference was that an MSDN included the development software.

Darn...too late to be helpful. I just read about that today. Glad you are all set.

FAT32 is simple and easy and LOTS of people do it, so any future troubleshooting will be easy to find help with/for. It will be a little (5-10%? barely noticeable) slower, but still plenty fast for streaming videos, etc. HFS is common enough on Mac stuff, but trusting the product of a company I...

FAT32. The performance difference isn't significant and minor filesystem corruption from removing the drive improperly is a minor issue.

74F today, 73F tomorrow. But it's going to hit 75F on Monday...

You don't want an MSDN sub, you want an Action Pack. You have to pass a stupid written test first, but it is $300 instead of $1200 (IIRC).

No kidding. It isn't too bad until the the 500W amplifier, the 700W projector, and the 500W computer are on for a couple of hours. Then it starts to cook. 'course, all I have to do is open the window...it's 60F out there :razz:
