eSATA won't work since you'd be limited to 2TB due to the whole 32-bit no GPT thing. USB would though.

No, you don't throw the baby out with the bath water, but you'd be foolish to keep the status quo and keep adding water to the bath until the baby drowns also.

I put a new suspension fork (Pro version, not the Expert version) on my bike yesterday. It would have been nice if the manual explained what all the adjustments on it do though. There's an air chamber you can adjust the pressure on to compensate for rider weight. There's a knob on the bottom...

Remember that the solution to gov't failure is more gov't. :idea: The gov't has been responsible for infrastructure and education from the beginning and has poured piles of money down those holes yet they're disasters. So somehow the natural solution of course is to pour even more money down...

You and a friend are standing at the edge of a cliff. Your friend wants you to jump of the cliff and tells you you'll be fine if you do. You think you'll die if you jump. How do you compromise with your friend? And, after you "compromise" who actually did sacrificed their position?

You guys are looking at it wrong. It's not Republican vs. Democrat. For the most part it's ruling class vs. the rest of us. Most of the people in Washington are all about the power, not what's best for the country. They make up the ruling class. They thing they know better than the rest of...

What did you build this machine for?

Wait, you mean the people with the best prices can't keep the product in stock and people who have so-so prices have 'em? You don't say...

Color me jealous... It's >$800 here even when it's on sale these days.

What sort of logic is this? Using that logic, we shouldn't put anyone in jail because doing so could put an innocent person in jail and that would be a tragedy...

Uh... yeah, so that wasn't exactly what I meant. :crap: It would be the swan song for my itch for a monitor upgrade though. ;)

How do you like the U2711? I'm still hear it's swan song calling me.

Single core --> dual core doesn't exactly mean double the speed.

It's 72F in my house right now. It was 74F inside when I got home. It 82F outside right now.

I probably wouldn't have bought a Sharp. When I was last TV shopping a few years ago I didn't like the way they looked from the distance I wanted to view it from.

Weather.com doesn't work for you?

Who is Sheila and why are you familiar with her Vibrators?

Probably something that costs about $20 that isn't even worth that $20.

$5 a month for a wireless router... Classic...

How would it be any different from anyone's resume? You can put anything you want on them too.

I've had a fair number of unsolicited messages from HR people looking for people to fill jobs opportunities via LinkedIn. In fact I changed my profile to cut down on them. FWIW, I've gotten two jobs through Monster.com.

Ditto... I have a LinkedIn profile and that's about as far as I want to go.

I'm not sure if you missed it, but many of those photos are from the 60's. Most of those planes are probably long gone.

I guess it wasn't adequately cooled? :confused:

Unless you want to play blu-ray discs... :rambo:

Well, it says it's for a SAS controller (host) to 4 SATA drives (target). You need a host to target cable, so it should work. However, the seller might not know what they're selling or you got shipped the wrong thing.

The humor is not lost on me what Lunar is looking for a gost adapter and you suggested Casper. :rofl:

Try Clonezilla instead?

The description on that cable looks correct. Perhaps what they shipped doesn't match the description.

Blank flash is all 1's that's true. Writing 1's the entire drive will not return it to factory status. You have to secure erase the thing / trigger the drives internal restoration mechanism.

You want the SFF-8484SAS connector on the host side, not on the target side.

Do you have a link to the cable you bought? There are two types, and one of the types won't work. I think you want the crossover variety.

None, unless you have some burning desire to put needless wear on it.

Seems unlikely, but you never know. If you do the long test with Seatools and it passes, I'd try a rebuild onto the drive and see what happens.

Yes, that's correct.

I finally let my HTPC update itself to Windows 7 SP1 via Windows Update. It installed in ~5 minute total including the reboot and the machine is pretty modest on the HW side. I have to say I was pretty surprised given some of the horror stories posted in this thread. I never played with...

It should be the 3rd drive on that cable. Does your cable have numbers? If you haven't scrambled the drives from when you created the array the SW numbers should be correct.

Pssst... He doesn't know what drive to pull and that's what he's trying to sort out. You can sort it out by tracing the cables.

FedEx and friends are very expensive if you don't have an account, but are just a guy off the street walking into Kinkos / FedEx off / UPS Store / etc. I bet your mother in law could ship the same thing back to you the same way for about 1/3rd the cost though. That's how it was when I did...

You knew better and still bought an Asus, so I think you sort of had it coming.

Not according to the jury.

When all the media is singing from the same song sheet odds are the song is all wrong. This smacks of the whole DSK thing, Duke Lacrosse "rape" case, & post Hurricane Katrina coverage. Get all the facts wrong, question nothing, look like idiots.

FWIW, here is the lovely message. Supposedly after you click "Install later" 3 times it goes away.

Anyone have any suggestions for a good free or very inexpensive Avira Antivirus alternative? Avira apparently now thinks it's good practice to repeatedly push you via a misleading popup to install the ASK toolbar when starting up your PC. They're also heavily advertising UniBlue Registry...

You have a Volkswagen in the case? That's impressive!

Can you even ping the PC?

Why the motherboard and not the video card?

I'm a little confused, are you trying to map a drive from a XP system over the network on a Windows 7 system, or do it the other way? I found Windows 7 has no problems mapping XP administrative shares. XP won't map Windows 7 (or Vista) administrative shares unless you edit the registry of the...

I'm really glad you posted that 4x.

Thanks for still not letting us know what car it was.
