That depends on the state you live in. Since you're not going to tell us what state that is, you'll have to figure it out on your own.

Apparently the producers of CSI agree with you too. :alb:

Why would you want to put unneeded wear on them?

Isn't that all they make? Therefore making your description redundant?

Then what the heck are you asking about?

My WRT54G (ancient one) got flaky after a few years. Once I turned the transmit power down back to the stock levels it's worked perfectly since. It's got to be almost 6 years old by now.

Why?

IOmeter

Well, I had my dad buy a WRT54GL. If he has reception problems I will get better / bigger antennas. He's got pretty slow DSL so he's certainly not going to miss the speed of N, but I have some worries about reception since the house seems to have some really quirky characteristics with cell...

Speaking of mortgages, I got a letter in the mail yesterday letting me know that IBM Lender Business Process Services would now be servicing my mortgage instead of Chase Home Finance. Who knew IBM was in the mortgage servicing business. :dunno: I guess they have to do something since they...

I am on the 2nd / top floor. There was a noticeable side to side swaying. It's a modern steel and concrete building. Thankfully I've never been in one of those.

It's a joke... You have seen this video right?

Market expansion of course! :arge:

It can burn selective brands of media at 24x and you can probably force it to burn faster on probably any 16x discs with mixed results.

Probably, but who knows how good the burns are at 24x.

Well, my Dad didn't want a huge laptop, and he didn't want a small laptop. So, I expect it will fit his needs pretty well.

The site seems lightning fast since that reboot. :thumbright:

Woot had some great t-shirts today in the their woot off. I bought these two:

The answer here is Craigslist...

My Dad's T410 arrived at his house yesterday, but he hasn't removed it from the box yet.

There's nothing quite like feeling earthquakes in Michigan... I felt yesterday's Quebec quake while sitting at my desk at work. :o

Well, I think it says MKM.....003. Those are Verbatim 8x blanks. Check the spindle to see where they're made before you buy them. Unfortunately Verbatim uses the same media code for Singapore and India made discs. This is why I like to buy my blank Verbatim discs in person at Microcenter...

Made in Singapore Verbatim DVD+R DL media or bust. Make sure you have a drive that supports book type adjustments so you can set them to DVD-ROM (most do now days).

I've got two Tomato running WRT54G/GL's. One at work in the office and one at home. I figured there was bound to be some N device that's better for a non picky home user. Then again, I suppose my Dad would be happy with anything that lets him get online.

It's seemed a little slow at times recently, but seems ok now.

I guess I need to start a new thread because I'm certainly not getting answers to my question here. :mad:

In the other thread on this there was a suggestion for the D-Link DIR-655. Is that still a recommended model?

Any updates on everyone's favorite suggestions for a Wireless N router? My dad is going to want one so he can use his new Thinkpad with Intel 6200N wireless card. Currently he only has an old basic D-link wired router.

Foobar 2000 can do this as well, (with the exception of keeping album art when converting). How do you have wave files with tags though?

1, and 1 in my possession. My Dad has one that still works as well.

That's because as they get cheaper and cheaper more and more inept people buy them. Inept people are clueless and write brilliant reviews commenting on things like SMART parameters they don't understand.

These are $109 with free shipping @ newegg.com after promo code EMCYTZS67. (Limit 5)

And this would help you how? :scratch: I'm not in the same country as you. Being on a different continent wouldn't change much. They do have internet access in Japan too. :skepo:

Pretty much... :cursin:

For work. And the flight in coach definitely doesn't count as a pleasure. :frowner:

I took a wonderful 12+ hour flight to Japan. The weather here isn't too bad.

You're just now figuring this out? :owneddnce:

So, how much cheaper is the system this time around? My Dad went with the system I spec'd above + the 3 year Depot warranty. It came out to $900.81 instead of $1173.00 on the standard Lenovo site. Originally when I first was suggesting the T410 I had a similarly spec'd out the I3-330M with a...

:skepo: I'm not sure what you're talking about... ThinkPad T410: - Intel Core i7-620M Processor (2.66GHz, 4MB L3, 1066MHz FSB) - Genuine Windows 7 Professional 64 - 14.1 WXGA+ TFT, w/ LED Backlight (WWAN antenna) - NVIDIA NVS 3100m Graphics 512MB DDR3 with AMT - 4 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM...

Return it and re-buy?

Lenovo has a sale going on that will get a similarly configured T410 within about $50 of the Dell E5410 I previously listed. ThinkPad T410: - Intel Core i5-520M Processor (2.40GHz, 3MB L3, 1066MHz FSB) - Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64 (or 32) - 14.1 WXGA TFT, w/ LED Backlight (WWAN antenna)...

Way to be a compliant sheep! :salut:

You can draw the same parallels about medical treatment for people who smoke, or medical treatment for people who have risky professions.

Sorry we're letting you down. :rofl:

Two observations. 1) Where's Dell? 2) Are you sure those are laptops?

Oh... Yeah, the E6410 is a lot more money. However, even including the cost of the RAM from Newegg an E5410 system is still under $800. I haven't talked to my Dad since I gave him the suggestions, but I will follow up with him and try to push him to the Dell over the HP given all of the...

Another good point.

:confused: I was easily able to get the E5400 & E5410 under $800 total decently equipped (with the standard 1 year warranty, Win 7 HP, buying the 4GB of RAM from Newegg instead). Doesn't the Core i3/i5/i7 do more work per MHz yielding slightly better battery life, or at least no worse despite...

So the HP is the cheapest (DV4-2160US), the Dell is in the middle (E5410), and the Lenovo (T410) is the most expensive when I tried to configure them equivalently.

So, between the Dell E6410, E5400, E5410, Lenovo T410, & HP DV4/DV4T which one is recommended? The Lenovo and Dell are business class machines that offer a higher resolution screen whereas the HP isn't business class and has no such option. Of course the Dell and Lenovo are also more expensive...
