Probably because he's not on a hunger strike. :reindeer:

Which product out there has a MIPS CPU? The processors in these things typically hardware accelerate video decoding either in the CPU core with special extensions or in the video core. I sat next to someone on a plane who watched movies on his iPad. The video playback was flawless, sharp, and...

Is Dinyamism some sort of parasitic condition? Is it contagious? How is it spread?

Why would you think they're any better? :D

So how do you know it magically quit working? Sometimes you have to unplug 'em and then plug 'em back in to get them working again.

Because they sort of look Hawaiian? :scratch:

I'd suggest you look at In Ear Monitors instead. They don't use batteries, they're smaller, and have better noise canceling properties (since they're basically earplugs that play sound).

Do you mean you manually entered OpenDNS servers into the router, or that you've manually specified the OpenDNS servers on each machine? If it's the former, I don't see how that's going to help me given that the DNS server in the router is what dies and it won't automatically pass the IP's of...

The DNS server is software running on it, so I'm not sure how would a hardware defect manifest itself as a software failure that can be recovered from without a reboot? A ping from the "Ping Test" section inside the router's web interface will get the internal DNS server working again. :confused:

I'm not allowed to rant about crappy hardware that should be braindead simple to get right?

I'm not quite sure. There seem to be a lot of DNS related complaints, but most are related to earlier firmwares and seem to be centered around a feature called "DNS Relay" that mine seems to lack.

This is a PSA: Do not buy a D-link DIR-655 wireless router. It's a steaming pile of crap. Every few hours the DNS server in it stops responding until the router is rebooted, reinitialized, or cajoled into working. Mine has the latest firmware (2.00NA) and I've messed around with with the...

I've been able to using HotSwap!

Uh... Pretty much every controller since the ICH6 supports SATA hotswap. Windows most definitely will detect a new SATA drive started once the PC is in Windows (as long as your using AHCI or RAID mode on the ICH and not IDE mode). The same goes for nVidia, AMD, and whoever else makes SATA...

No :(

I don't know. There seem to be a lot of DNS related complaints on it pertaining to a feature mine doesn't seem to have (DNS Relay).

So the DNS capability of the D-link stopped working again tonight. I took it out of use while I was out of town and put it back in today. Same symptoms as last time. I was unable to resolve anything, but could ping both DNS servers listed in the router's WAN settings. It started working...

$158.99 today. The CAS 5-5-5-15 DDR2-800 is now cheaper than the CAS 6-6-6-18 DDR2-800 ($159.99) or the CAS 5-5-5-15 DDR2-667 ($159.99).

Why are you sweating a few percentage loss of free space? What's it matter?

They don't work on all motherboards. I've had a mixed bag of results trying to boot from USB devices on various systems. Older systems that claim USB device boot capability seem to be the most problematic whereas new ones work well.

I've been able to make a USB flash drive boot to DOS. It wasn't very hard as I recall. I used the HP tool.

C'mon now... Everyone should have a USB floppy drive in their arsenal.

It looks like the fix has been posted.

Dropped another $5 to $160.99 today. This makes buying RAM challenging. I guess you either 1) decide to buy at a price you're happy with and then block it out of your mind or 2) you watch it closely and try to guess when you've hit the bottom. Interestingly the otherwise identical 6-6-6-18...

I'm not following you. IMHO, that makes the would make the papers co-conspirators and just as ethically liable as Wikileaks. Those newspapers don't publish their internal e-mails for us to see, so why do they feel it's essential to publish what amount to internal e-mails in the gov't? You...

I would think it should be pretty rare in normal use. I have only one 2TB F4 in use and I everything copied to it is verified (read back & compared) which would catch it.

PS: It's not like threads here start particularly on topic for very long. They sort of meander and wander. :rofl:

Wait for a firmware update and avoid reading the SMART data while writing data to them?

So, you're only about transparency on things you agree with then? Leaking secrets is okay, but telling the truth about Clinton's imaginary budget surpluses isn't okay. Or was the purpose of this thread only to cheerlead political causes you agree with?

Now down to $165.99. It has dropped every Monday since I've been watching. Last week it dropped by $10, this week by $5. I'm hoping for $150 (or less). :thumbright:

And, it turns out the 2TB F4's have a firmware bug. link I guess it's Samsung's turn.

Sorry, but it's all political theater (shocking I know right?). They decreased public debt so they could claim a surplus, but increased intragovernmental holdings which resulted in a net increase in the national debt every year (even during the "surplus" years). Part I Part II

That's a decision you'll have to weigh.

Too many broken eggs?

And it's wet inside your toilet. Which is worse? :scratch:

Well, maybe your normal model is flawed and should be changed? :owneddnce: How about doing it outside or over a sink?

So this free in-flight wifi certainly makes the flight more interesting.

Not work over the toilet in the future while handling PCIe cards. :mrgrn:

Myself, I'm waiting for the replicators and transporters. Then we won't have to deal with UPS, FedEx, or USPS or the TSA & airlines.

Is that a good ludicrous or a bad one?

Of course, lets pick on the military and defense spending. One of the things the Constitution actually tasks the gov't with doing. Lets ignore social security, medicare, welfare, and all the other social / redistributionist things the gov't is doing that the Constitution doesn't task the gov't...

Yeah, fixed it using imaginary accounting. Perhaps you can list for the me the years where there was an actual surplus while Clinton was in office.

I'm especially wondering that after DNS magically stopped working this afternoon. I could ping my ISP's DNS servers through the router, but none of the PCs on the networks could resolve anything. Their DNS entries are set to the Dlink router (192.168.1.1). It didn't start working again until...

Ok, well I decided to give Clonezilla a shot just now... Leave it to the Linux guys to make a free tool that does what the paid programs can't. :thumbright: Clonezilla made an exact replica without resorting to a 1:1 raw sector copy. You tell it to clone a drive to another drive without...

I should also point out that by default Windows 7 does not install itself to the first partition of a blank unpartitioned HD. It installs to the 2nd partition after creating a 100MB System Reserved partition that has all the boot stuff in it. So, the inability of the disc cloning programs to...

PS: Why was David editing my post?

That would only work if the programs would allow for alignment of their partitions onto 1MiB boundaries. Based on what I found they align partitions they create to cylinder boundaries, so even leaving a "hole" they wouldn't utilize it in the same / correct way. It would either leave more or...

Windows XP does that too. If you have other partitions on the HD it may (will?) put NTLDR, boot.ini, and Ntdetect.com on one of the existing partitions, and not the one you install Windows XP to. This happened on my server. I had some existing partitions on the drive and erased my XP x86...

So, for no apparent good reason I decided to replace my Linksys WRT54G running the Tomato firmware with a D-link DIR-655 yesterday. I got the D-link from Newegg in their Black Friday sale. I only have 1 wireless "N" device that I use and it pretty much only surfs the web. The D-link works...

You keep the previews? What for?
