    Where are they coming from that they come in large groups over long distances? With 17 stores for 9 million people it can't be that long of a drive for people right?

    It looks like we have 37 of them in the US. So we've got 37 for 300+ million people and Sweden has 17 of them for <10million people. I bet there aren't tour buses in the IKEA parking lots in Sweden. :-D

    Nvidia problems

    That sounds like a fab problem, not a nVidia problem. TSMC gives their customers the design rules for their process and customers use those rules to design their chips. Bad yields mean the rules weren't accurate or the process isn't stable.

    FWIW, I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to sell and of his gear used to any of us because he'd have to provide a return address to the shipper and then he'd lose all of his privacy. So, it sits unused and collects dust instead.

    Networking weirdness in 7...

    Are you sure it died and not the wall wart? I have two of those Netgear units. One 8 port and one 5 port. The 8 port is in use and still works. I assume the 5 port still works though it's not being used. :bomb:

    Networking weirdness in 7...

    If I had to guess that's because Windows is defaulting to the NIC that runs through the 100Mb/sec switch in your router instead of the one that connects to your gigabit crossover cable. There are several ways around this (at least in XP). The easiest would be to get a 5 port gigabit switch and...

    VOIP Service Provider

    I'd say it's got more in common with VOIP than it doesn't. It doesn't use the public internet to route calls, but it is still very similar to VOIP

    Building a home NAS - feedback on build

    Well, I didn't know about them 3.5 years ago either. I found out about them ~2.5 years ago when I was researching a 24 port partially managed gigabit switch for my house. At the time HP Procurve 1800-24G was the only fanless option plus it had the lifetime warranty (not sure if any others...

    Small Version of Enterprise Storage?

    Ok, so my reading comprehension isn't so good... :geek: How big are the drives? Unless they're really big I can't see how this is worth the effort, cost, & electricity unless you're really looking for the experience.

    I like how the 600GB version is only $30 more than the 450GB one. ($329 vs $299) 10% more for 33% more capacity. Who's going to buy the 450GB version?

    You don't want to do it in GIMP on the file you uploaded to Picasa. You want to process the raw .NEF file to recover some of the highlights first. You want to adjust the exposure by about -1EV and then use that file in GIMP. I've never used ViewNX, so I'm not sure exactly how you would go...

    That's either lens serious flare or overexposure, or perhaps both. They're reasonably fixable. You need to crank the brightness way down and the contrast way up. I'd push the RAW file down about 1 to 1.5 stops and then do the rest with software brightness and contrast adjustments.
