For a small home in such a moderate climate as you mentioned, a modest heat pump would probably work fine if there is no gas utility. IME, goofy homemade systems are often not worthwhile and not so good for resale.

The 3TB 7K3000 drives I have use 5x 600GB platters. Perhaps the lower capacities can be made with 1Tb platters or there will be a B or C version. If not, there will be 7K4000, etc. drives later.

I usually pay for the credit cards every month.

One 980X system can easily reach over 300 watts without the monitor. Why do you have to use resistive heat? Don't you have a furnace or something?

What is the difference? All of the power into the computer is dissipated as heat either directly around the case or within the room. If the computer is on anyway, that can reduce extra heating requirements, but it makes no sense to use a computer only for the purpose of heating.

Do you think WD/Hitachi Thailand will be in full operation that soon or just that Seagate/Samsung will crank up the Chinese output?

I finally bought one after news of the Thailand disaster. Transfer rates and higher than the Samsung and access times are better too. :) I hope it performs reasonably better in the computer.

All of the ones I have are the 0F12460 part number and were made in the Thailands. I hope Hitachi has alternate suppliers. :cyclopsani:

I have the H1 too. I think that was in August of 2010. The sound is pretty good, but the construction is quite cheap. Battery life is excellent with L91 cells and it can be powered indefinitely from the USB port, even during recording.

:roll: Higher is not exactly a good thing. I should get mine paid off in November if there is a slim chance of a new 500 in December.

So LSI destroys the competition at the PCIe card level, but will the Sandstorm controller chips still be sold to SSD manufacturers?

Well there are some advantages to using cash. You probably don't have ~$20K on credit cards like I do now. :(

How much hair is in the ears?

Sure, Mr. Moneybags. ;) For those of us company employees that receive automatic deposits twice per month, we need to withdraw cash. I deposit maybe 5 checks in a year.

:drinka:

Is there any redundancy in that setup? It looks they are all in the same circuit.

I don't what trucnated my posts. Shipping has been a disaster for a few weeks now. Apparently the UPS has changed routes and the delivery time makes it practically impossible to receive packages or get them at the stations. :porc: Some of the devices are far too large for the under table...

Maybe there is some use for POS or similar, but that would not replace a keyboard for everyday typing.

WTF, was there a projector hanging off the back of some goofy car? :D

Why do people give you cash, Merc? :skepo: I'm almost afraid to ask.

I have been too busy to deal with the printer. The defective one is a Lexmark. I'll see what they have at the stores on Saturday. Shipping i

That sums it up, but I think he enjoys it as the hobby. 20 years ago I would have done the same, but I'm too lazy now and prefer to discard rather than repair.

I also go inside to withdraw the larger bills, maybe once per month. $20 are too bulky. I don't spend much cash though since I dislike the small change.

;)

I bought a couple of the Hitachi 3TB 5400 drives today. $125 is not bad and I'm sure they will not be cheaper for a while.

I have no idea where my ATM card is, but I hope I'm not being charged for not using it. :(

The purpose of this device is to quickly and easily print on plain paper for boarding passes, tables/lists, internet pages, etc. I don't want to have to take the cover off of the 17" inkjet photo printer every time, not to mention that it uses some ink from the 8x $50 cartridges when starting up.

I'd rather have colors, but are the cheap laser units much more reliable?

My cheap printer/scanner/fax died today. Now I need on the type that prints and scans, not necessarily faxes. Essentially it needs to print on both sides and scan from a feeder. My usage is limited to a few pages a week. For reference the XL inks were 1/2-1/3 full in the printer that died...

Thanks. I ended up buying a different kind of speaker (symmetrical type) as I decided not to take a a risk on the ones in question. Unfortunately I have to buy on the internet, so it is necessary to rely on user opinons and web photos.

The last update is not very promising. I ordered one body already and might get another one this week.

Yeah. It's time for a rebuild and restoration of data from backup.

I would assume that the OEM drives on the internet, such as newegg bare drives, will dry up as the limited number available are earmarked for the computer OEM's under the drive manufacturer's contractual obligations.

Damn, you seem very stressed lately. I hope your health is OK.

How can the software cause the physical falling over?

I think it is for many of the models. The D3 series is still made in Japan. There is a plant in Malaysia under construction too. I'm sure they are burning the midnight oil figuring out how to reconfigure and distribute production. A major problem is that much of the equipment is custom...

I'm sure it will be 6-12 months before production levels are re-established.

If the speakers are asymmetrical and too close to one's head, I think they should they be mirror images of each other. In the sideways orientation they should be the opposite (same).

Even if woofler is not in line with tweeter?

The SPEAKERS.

Prices surely are up like crazy, and I have been too busy to buy HDDs lately. :mad:

Are the left and right supposed to be symmetrical or the same?

That was a big deal a few months ago. The idea is not new and can be extremely useful in principle. The problem has always been the limited amount of useful information reconstructable in the OOF areas. Apparently it has been improved, but not yet to DSLR IQ levels.

Plenty of people are left homeless too. :(

Apparently the Nikon and Sony camera factories are totaled. :(

I have the largest Gorilla Plod and it is not very good for general use.

I agree. The LEDs are not ready yet, but wait a few years. The one I have is already dimmer than it was in the beginning. The lighting is also too harsh and directional compared to CFL or frosted incandescent lamps.

Yes, of course, but I meant what the newer body would be. Anyway, I think I understood the issues and I'm not sure that a new Rebel is really the best option if she only has a lens or two. Take a look at the Sony cameras with the in-body stabilization.

What is a social lens? :bleh: The 35/2 is a long normal or a short tele on the 1.6x body.

If you are too close to the 37" TV, what is the purpose of a larger TV used as a display?
