Maybe they can use the WD hard drives in the Thailands. :D

There are many Digital Rebels, including the rather ancient Digital Rebel XT. Which model is that? I would look for a D7000, but don't wait too long. I'm not sure if they are made in the Thailand factor that is flooded.

Arrrgghhhh! I have not purchased a hard drive in two months. I should probably buy a bunch this week, but I was waiting for the 4TB editions.

It is a design limitation of the AF sensor, presumably related to the priority of the market: sports, PJ, and event photographers who are close to the subject or the subject is relatively large. The previous 1 series cameras since the late 1990s autofocused at f/8 in the center point as did...

So now the computer companies will use more Seagate drives? That is worse.

I'd pay up to $9500 for 36MP, but not $6800 for 18MP.

The 1D-X is very controversial. Although the PJ, sports, and wedding/event users are enthusiastic about it, many of the general purpose photographers will not stand for the price tag and have no use for 12FPS. More importantly Canon abandoned serious and pro wildlife photographers with the...

No, I meant that the moviegoers would leave the theater because reality is so boring. I was looking at the movies recently and there is not a thing I want to go see, at least not locally. :(

Damn, I thought you were writing about me. :)

No, I would not have WI-FI coverage and rarely 4G. I'm not sure how the e-mails work. Can you set them not to download the large attachments (e.g., 10MB) unless opened?

I don't like LG. We've had many problems with their products. :bsmurf: I want to get by with the minimum useful data plan and minimum phone plan, since the devices are too bulky/blocky to use for anything but brief conversations. Is the 4G necessary?

No, I won't get a BlackBerry. I want a decent-sized screen to go online if necessary. How much data is 2GB equivalent to on the monthly basis? Can I go on the internet for 5 min./day and receive 75 e-mails/day?

I must obtain a smartphone very soon. What is the best option for NMT $250 for the device and ~$75 per month service. Mainly I will be using it for the e-mail and only occasionally for the web and telephone.

Sony recalls 1.6 million TVs. Cue the Merc...

They are a cheap brand of the UPS. Surely you've seen some in the retail stores. :face:

No, I'm an old fart and not into the illegal stuff.

Get a grip They are actors and it is a script, marketed toward the 18-25 YOs. Most of the FBI agents I've known are rather boring people and highly trained. Nobody would watch that stuff for 5 minuters in real life without walking out. :zzz:

Hmm. I'd hope to have 64GB by the time Windows 8 is necessary.

30 lbs., min. 60 lbs. is better. :)

Do you think they are more reliable ar durable than hard drives? The price/capacity made no sense when I thought about burning Blue-Rays a couple of years ago.

You need to find a woman down there in Tennessee. ;)

I think you should have the test if you are stable enough for that. Your experiences are serious enough that it seems to me you will not revert to a problem free status without intervention. Presumably you are on some meds to reduce chance of a cardiac event before that. My heart is not...

I have old-school UPS units with a not-so-pretty waveforms and they power anything and everything. Some of the APC and Cyperpowder UPS now are receiving compaints because the damned switching output don't play well with the newer computer PS. Yet whose fault is that? Consumers want the...

Yes, but at work most machines don't have a bunch of hard drives or other noisy/hot internals.

What are your criteria? I'm not clear if you are qualifying the media or selecting vendors. Do you have a quality agreement or supply agreement yet?

It looks pretty good for a basic system, but the Samsungs have been spotty lately.

Damned captchas. I keep trying to make changes to an account on a particular website and it claims I am entering the wrong code. :mad:

You must be the boss or change jobs a lot then. ;)

I moved to the floor about 11 years ago when the number of drives started to accumulate and they had ball bearings back then. The orginal Atlas 10K drive was just too noisy at close range.

That is a home office, correct?

Can you put the case on the floor? I'm not a fan of towers on desktops.

So is there a defect or user error? It is confusing.

Is the Garmin under warranty? Obviously it is not calculating correctly.

The US is so large and many areas are sparsely populated, so I really don't see any miracle of inexpensive mass electrification. I think the rail system will only get worse.

Yeah, the new stretch version might be on the list. I want a vehicle that has high clearance and can handle poorly or non-maintained dirt roads, but is reasonably comfortable on the highway. I've rented the smaller Wranglers before and the ride and noise were awful at the interstate speeds...

Sorry to hear of the impending bad news. Yes, you should keep the drives separate if possible.

Oh my. I hope it is wired to code.

No, it just shut off in the middle of the night. The situation is very complicated because there are over a dozen companies in 8 countries involved in the project. Normally I don't have to buy equipment because the contract facility buys it for the site, but time was critical. The site set up...

Very funny. No more Fords for me since the 1993. I'd probably get a Grand Cherokee or maybe a Highlander if it were a 2012 model, but who knows in the further future.

This is for your home system?

I'm not sure what is up with APC lately. We just had one of their fancier continuous regulated units die after less than a week out of the box. :mad: Several hundred $K of my equipment was connected to it.

How did you remove the extras? They are gone now.

That is an old article from 2008. A big question is cost and reliability. I suspect they will have limited application for a while.

I don't think so either. It's not like you gain huge MHz anymore from liquid vs. a large HSF.

The irony is that Coug has joined the "Hairy Aussie" group. :D

The more I read about it these cars are not ready yet to take over the world, and some are not even ready for prime time. Maybe in 10 years it will different. Meanwhile, I hope to buy a regular gas vehicle in about 3 years and that will be the last one ever. I would go for a V6 this time...

Three times? Wow.

Thanks. I've never spoken the name aloud until this week.

Dug and Doug sound the same. Dog is like dawg.

Isn't the name pronounced like jOHbs?
