I'd suspect the reason it told you that is that you're video card doesn't have TV-in/out. The same issue it gave me. Of course, it did say Ultimate was the right one for me.

No doubt, but the price is irrelevant if you need a drive in 15 minutes

I have GetDataBack, but one of the requirements is that the drive can be detected at all. This is a normally intelligent user. He has a company fileserver that I have built (RAID 10) and he makes regular backups to a series of USB harddrives that he keeps off-site. He uses thumbdrives to move...

If you had to setup a secure FTP server, what would you use? Some things I've already got: 1. Dedicated server 2. Isolated VLAN 3. Rules to only allow FTP traffic through (ports 20-23, correct?) What I need is suggestions on the software. The OS will be Server 2003 because that is what I...

Samsung SP2504C (SATA/250GB/7200RPM/8M) - about 6 months old. It's been in a machine I built with the following components: Gigabyte NF4-SLI board AMD 3800+ X2 2GB Buffallo Select PC3200 RAM nVidia 6200TC PCI-E Video Antec Neo-HE 380W PS Antec P180 Chassis This system has been working fine...

Confession: I just purchsed a WD hard drive from a retail store. SATA 200GB with 8MB Cache - $140 Irony: It's a need-in-now replacement for a Samsung 250GB SP2504C unit :eekers: This new drive has a really irritating whistle to it. More on the failure in a Computing thread....

Interesting Don't know enought to interpret it yet, but here's some info on one of mine.

If anything, I wish a barebones firefox installation was simpler. Some people may like having the bookmarks as a toolbar, I don't. If it was only the simplest of browsers and supported the extension system (which is right up there with sliced bread) I would be a more happy camper.

All options that I enabled in Firefox via extensions without ever using Opera. I choose to use them because they are a good idea. Round wheels, windshields and heaters all took significant levels of innovation in the car industry. Would you hold it against the other manufacutrers if they copied...

Sounds like a lot of fun; I like playing with new hardware. But the pressure will be on on this one. This Tuesday I have to walk into the client's office and act like I already know what I'm talking about.

That's really awesome, at that height you don't have much to go at all. I only have 2 inches on you ;)

The client purchased a Draytek 33-something. Apparently with support for v-lans and 4 WAN connections? Anyway, as part of a larger setup I'm doing on this thing, I need to set it up for users to use the standard windows VPN client to connect with the thing. Is L2TP an option or would household...

Very nice results Doug. I'd consider myself only slightly out of shape and I'm an even 200lbs with a 34" waist.

Yay! Draytek routers and teleworker access! Someone around here liked the Drayteks...was it in the Aussie crowd? Anything I should know about?

The author of that article was on "Fresh Aire" on NPR today. Really nice interview. True and very, very scary.

My 35,000+mi/yr kinda goes off their charts...but I am in the "small" category, so I'm probably around $0.30/mi ($10,500/yr). My sailboat consumes no gas, but is also likely to cost me about $10,000/yr (sails, breakage, storage). I'm taking it out for the first time in about an hour; if you...

I've been towing it with a 2006 Toyota Tacoma TRD, but tomorrow I get to tow it with a Porsche Cayenne :D It's a bit big for my Golf to handle, I may end up buying a Mitsu Evo to pull it around with. I used to race professionally, though I haven't been out at all in 7 years. My g/f used to...

Stalk someone you don't know.

Well, If I had any money to begin with, I won't any more. This is my new toy. A 24-foot long Ultralight Displacement sailboat (ULDB). She should be very, very fast ;)

I love smoothwalls; but in this instance they think they want a Microsoft VPN solution. Therefore I need to at least prove my competence at that before explaining why a smoothie is better. So L2TP is out, will PPTP work better?

I'm thinking of taking this to the next level. By "next level", I mean spending a significant amount of money in an attempt to mask my inferior skills. I've been toying with all kinds of light tents, and all kinds of lights, diffusers, reflectors, etc. The materiels I'm trying to shoot are just...

Thanks, now for the server part ;)

I get to be an expert at setting up a microsoft VPN on Monday. Any particular suggestions on where to start?

Radioshack is doing the same thing. They have some of the major player involved as well.

But if that's all you use iTunes for, there are lots of better apps for under $20.

6 Seconds! Benchmarking with acrobat! Wooo! Maybe if I upgrade to a RAID-0 array of Raptors....

:oops: Sorry guys, I usually read the entire thread...I swear!

squirrel cage it is, this is the one I like.

Do you mean PEBKAC? Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair

Looks to me like printing the D50 manual is not allowed in the security settings?!?! :evil:

Finally got around to updating the BIOS on this thing. It has been rock-solid, so this was my first chance to crack the machine (adding more optical drives). As a matter of fact, they have a new BIOS dated 4/27/2006 for those using this hardware.

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/04/29.html#a8104 I found this very funny. It was (like most of his material) a bit slow, but considering the crowd, it shows he has Balls.

I don't care so much about that, they helped the price of 500GB drives down to $280 ;)

How overbuilding can save you from stupidity: After sticking the server in the server room (attic) last night and queueing up a batch of XviDs, I remembere this morning that I hadn't hooked up all the chassis fans. So I head up there only to discover that not only are all the chassis fans...

My new home fileserver :mrgrn: TBs of data without redundancy? Am I crazy? Nope; it's mirrored to the other server ;)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833320110 Anyone have experience with this hardware? I need this functionality for a project. TIA

I agree 100%. They seem to have an air of un-suckiness about their products.

I really don't feel like going to work today. It's my least-favorite part of being self-employed: collections. :evil:

The problem with giving people that cheap systems that are that cheap is that they try to make them run for 5 years, and then try to upgrade them using used parts from E-Bay.

That is a sin the that Dell, HP, and others will have to pay for in hell.

Don't ask me why, but I felt like doing this:

Merc, Although that is certainly an incredible price, I'm a bit of a snob about certain things. Here's the cheapest system using parts I'd touch without gloves (and even be willing to support)! AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice Socket 939 ADA3000BPBOX Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9 Socket 939 NVIDIA GeForce...

And mine...and I signed up the Bartender for fun ;)

It is a close call; removing everything takes about an hour. Formatting, re-installing, and getting all the drivers right takes about the same. The big difference is when doing it my way I don't need to futz with disks at all.

It's not even that amazing a hoax website. The address listed is a residence (confirmed via maps.google.com), the images can be found many other places via google image search - and there is no context for them in the site, the concepts are pretty clearly preposterous (I've only had 2 years of...

I didn't use the tool, I just did i the old-fashioned way. 1. Add/Remove programs everything 2. Regedit - delete everything from "Run" 3. Delete Everything from "Startup" 4. Disable system restore, disable any additional taskbar items 5. Defrag Next comes the rebuilding process: 1. Join to...

Here's the rundown: Before / After PF Useage: 316MB / 130MB CPU Useage: 2% / 0% Time to login screen: 18s / 15s Time to desktop: 49s / 3s Shutdown Time: 9s / 6s Oh, yeah. I want to pay this much for a system that takes over a minute to boot.

I happen to have just unwrapped a pair of Dell Inspiron 6400 Core Duo Laptops...I'll do the de-crapifier test on one and see what happens. Anyone have specific requests for testing?

So a single bullet in the front and out the back would do it, too
