I'm getting reports that many personnel in NJ and VA lost power. NJ especially had flooding. Half the people were not on the teleconference this morning. Apparently it takes a while for the insurance people to show up while your house is flooded.

I was looking at this one. It has 32GB and a 1280x800 IPS display for a reasonable $250. I'm rather concerned about lack of Play Store apps on the Kindles and the Samsung has only a low-res display. Is another Samsung model coming soon?

I need to buy the 7" tablet for Christmas gift by end of November. Is the Nexxus still the best one? I see they have some new models listed as coming soon. Is that just the extra memory (32GB) or are they different?

I want 1TB. Why is that so difficult?

Why? In the US most carriers prefer to sell their designated phones.

Yeah, that could do it. :( Don't you check SMART in advance of using drives?

Yeah. This is an example of why Merc does not have anyone to take to the show. :(

I wonder about JTR. Is he affected?

Are you using the flash drive version? I always use the flash bootable USB drive as the installed version of 2011 and 2012 has just an awful GUI. If you did not "add" the new target drive TI may not see it.

Aren't you installing the standard OS image or whatever you use? Are they for business?

:DOH: The mental confusion is setting in from disaster fatigue.

Basically, but you should check the discharge curves and then subtract a healthy amount since batteries deteriorate from the conditions used for testing. I'm sure you know that efficiency drops with lower temperatures, higher loads, higher charge cycle counts and less than optimal charging.

I'd look for about 80AH in that case. It should not be too different from the previous battery as there may be issues with under/over charging.

Hey, the board ate my post. :( I think the battery will be alright if it is of the right capacity (at least as large and can support the current drain) and of course has the same number of cells (volts). They probably want to sell you their own batteries.

If they are 12V and have enough power for the current drain, then it should be fine Laszlo.

No, I don't. I should have stated specifically that the corporate closing and leave policy follows that of the local government. The policy is consistent and uniform, if nothing else. I cannot discuss relationships between the the company I work for and any branches of government. Some of...

Well of course you are in IT working with end users, and need to learn about it early on. I have no idea what breadcrumbs are.

Damn, the Bozo beat me to it. Merc, didn't you have a plan when buying tickets?

What about your stripping girlfriend?

Sure you can sleep in bed at home. However, going on the road to get to work is a bad idea depending on the situation. The decision makers need to be on the conservative side in case the natural disaster turns out to be worse than expected. Where I work everying depends on the local...

Thanks, that was it. The screensaver was set to none, but apparently there is a goofy default under that. Win 7 is killing me. I don't know what rationale MS has for changing things, especially the control panel. I hope not to have to deal with 8 at home in my lifetime.

Humans build cities along coastlines and near rivers, lakes etc. where is the fresh water supply, so naturally they are not a lot of optional places to live easily.

So after working on the laptop for a week, I'm back to the H520s. Now there is one very odd probelm. After exactly one minute of being idle, the computer kicks back to the login screen. I checked every damned thing in the advanced power settings and all hardware is on or never turn off...

Giants were the only good thing tonight. :beer:

Pennsylvania, IIRC.

You can see where Sandy is going. Maybe it affects the Bozo?

The hors d'oeuvres are awful. Why am I here? :(

I'm glad I traveled to NH early. Next week the weather in the northeast looks ugly.

I thought it would be a tall spindle of numerous platters from WD drives, with the larger ones on the bottom and the smaller ones on the top. :)

I just started using Win 7 on my personal machines and that Classic Shell is an excellent app. :beer: I only wish it could decrease the space between the file lines in Detail view.

I was searching on the Google for World Series. She just wanted to know if there was a game tonight.

I think there is a problem with the World Series reporting. http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2012/10/27/giants-try-to-go-up-3-0-on-tigers-as-world-series-shits-to-detroit/

How much does it weigh?

But won't there be an increase in service calls from the new OS?

I worked with design control for a couple of years in the mid 2000s. It was fine while it lasted.

Meh. There is nothing new in the article. Maybe some advert by the Fords?

Does it run PS or LR?

It depends on the configuration. Download speed is only 20MB/sec. if the reader is on USB 2.0 and there are three copies being made (internal drive and two external USB 3.0 drives). Downlo#d speed is 30MB/sec. if the configuration is that one of the externals is on USB 2.0 and the reader is on...

I tried several NEC/Restasis drivers to no avail. All the adapters seem to have the same chipsets, so I don't have much hope that another brand of card would be better. :(

Damn. The Expresscard USB 3.0 uses about 33% of the CPU for no reason. It does not return to 0% when removed, only after a rebot. There went an hour or so of my life figuring that out. :cursin:

Is there a 1TB external SSD?

I bought a retail SIIG single port card that fits flush with the slot. It hedgehogs power for a USB cardreader, but not a mechanical hard drive. That is fine fOr my needs, although all three USB 3 Ports are then crammed together on the left side.

My two Corsair Force F60 drives were purchased in ~July 2010. Considering the age, I'll not be reusing them in anything else. There is no firmware that I can see. Meanwhile the nearly 4-year old X25E just keeps on going. I wonder how many write cycles that old-school 50nm SLC flash memory can...

You are neglecting viscosity.

Totally naked? I think some protection is needed.

Thanks, I was looking at that last week and rejected it for reliability and cost reasons. I hope there are simple 1TB SSDs next year for around $800.

Is it in the garage or something like that?

The largest are only 512GB. I may settle on an SSD and a standard hard drive for now if I can find the right carrier to fit a drive in the optical bay. From what I read there will be native 1TB SSDs next year.

Maybe so, but I've never heard of HTC. What % of the market did they have?

Well of course every laptop should do that. I assume it would work with the proper docking station, but I was not planning to buy that. I am using the HDMI to DVI cable, but I don't think that should matter.
