    Being healthy is far more important. I suspect you are in a very high percentage for your age group anyway. Do you have any arthritis?

    It's too bad that a non-interchangeable rechargeable battery with low run time is used. That makes it nearly useless for me. :(

    Oh, I see what you did there. :) It was the only option. I'm sure the Coug could fling one a 100m. :D

    Apparently I am in such a state of decrepitude that rehabilitation is needed. I am starting with this one. Maybe I can do a situp in July.

    Is there a nice tool to check copies of various folders and files on separate drives to ensure that the data is 100% consistent? Thanks.

    Seagate ships 6TB 3.5in drives too

    Apparently not. I'm using the Seagates internally, which is fine for my case, but they would not be so good in my externals.

    Yeah. Since he already has good eating habits a little medication should knock it down to normal.

    I've been in the same boat. It sucks when they cannot find the cause. :(

    Drive Shippers

    What do you use to ship and store 8-10 drives? Ideally it should be a container designed for the purpose, and not excessively bulky. I've seen some Pelican type cases and they are too large and heavy. Thanks.

    17,000 rumps from 900 lumens indicates a rather wide beam. Is that what you were looking for?

    I'm thinking about relocating a real computer system, but there are no ethernets in the house. I see a plethora of various PCIe cards, but what is recommended? Does it matter whether they have one, two or three antennae?

    I saw it at some point a few years later, but don't recall that part very well. I thought the film was mediocre at best. I was rather disgusted that the sneaky, smug little sh*t committed a number of unlawful and disrespectful acts with no repurcussions. It's not that there were any...

    Harddrrive reliability

    I suspect that is only feasible with business-related equipment. It's not like I have a datacenter to send the files to or bandwidth to transmit up to 200 GB per day.

    Harddrrive reliability

    Thanks, I'll not trust the old drives and make a fully new set. Mainly I'll use some new 4TB drives, along with some 3TB drives that are being replaced with the Seagate 6TB ones. Are the ST4000DM000 still a good bet now?

    Bluetooths

    I'm not sure what you mean, some quantum signaling? It's just a Panasonic KX-TG6643/4/5 series phone system. AFAIK, the base station has the Bluetooth radio. Of course I may be incorrect; that would be nothing new. ;)

    Bluetooths

    The phone, some kind of Panasonic system. The Panasonic pairs with the cellphone and the cellphone with the headset, but I want the.Panasonic to pair with the headset.

    Thanks. I wanted to use the Bluetooth headset with the phone stem, but I suppose that is not possible.

    Harddrrive reliability

    No, they are in offsite storage. It would be quite impractical to run an offsite storage server. Most of the reliability tests assume that drives are always running. I wish there would be more tests of sitting drives, for example it would nice to run them for 100 hours and then test them once...

    How can I connect the Bluetooth devicers to each other? I'm not sure if everything is both the host and the other device or if they are not interchangeable.

    Harddrrive reliability

    Speaking of reliability, I have a number of drives used for a backup set in 2009. How viable are those old hard drives? I'm thinking of redoing all that with newer drives although it will be time-consuming, not to mention the cost of drives and shipping.

    Seagate ships 6TB 3.5in drives too

    The drive definitely has extra platters. The side and bottom screw mounting holes near the middle of the drive are missing as there is no space for them. There is one set of bottom mounting holes that is nearer to the top of the drive. As a result of the funky screwholes, this drive will...

    Seagate ships 6TB 3.5in drives too

    The 6TB drive seems to be fine in general use though. It is the 7200 RPM variety and runs warm, so I don't know what to back it up with that is not in the airflow. There don't seem to be any 5400 RPM models yet. The full drive test duration was greater than 9 hours. One of the issues as...

    I want to buy a new car

    Mopar has never been known for great mileage, but I'm out of touch. The last one I had was a 1970 440, the high compression version before the real hi-test fuels disappeared. On a good day it would reach 12MPG, but was typically closer to 10 with some acceleration mixed in. :)
