Nah, that's what open Access Points are for. :mrgrn:

Only if they have a lot of time on their hands. WEP and WPA-TKIP have inherent flaws in them that allow them to now be cracked in a short amount of time. Any encryption can be broken given enough time, but that doesn't mean a proper implementation of wireless encryption is ineffective or a joke.

Probably mostly people doing it for the challenge. The gov't has better ways to see what you're doing online.

Yes and no... If it went from 15hours to 1 hours I'd say that would be a significant improvement. Most people have the patience to wait 15 minutes so chopping it down to 1 minute, while from a percentage basis is significant, isn't so significant in real use.

That depends on the device. Some can have upgraded firmware to support the newer modes, other's can't. I run WPA2 PSK with AES and use the maximum length key possible. I had one device that only supported WEP on it's wireless connection. It's been running via wired ethernet for years as a...

They're wireless encryption protocols.

I did a full format on the one and the other 6 went through a full init by the RAID card. None of them complained about bad sectors.

FWIW, I bought 7 of your wrong drives. IOmeter is hammering on 6 of them right now.

Still using WEP? :-o

Did you try these for the card reader in the system?

Did you let the updater connect to the internet to look online for the drivers?

It was breakable in 15 minutes before. I wouldn't say it was secure before today either.

The same is true of any RAID card though I'll admit I never thought about it that way.

I think this is what you want.

Did you install the chipset drivers for it?

Well, the cables work, but they're a little bit too short. :cursin: Time to buy longer ones.

I got the additional 2 drives from Newegg. They were not wrapped in bubble wrap, just their plastic shell. They were placed in the box with the external enclosure and surrounded with packing peanuts.

A few more:

:tdown: I'll have you know I did no cropping in any of the airshow shots I posted. They're all just resized. :)

I don't have a problem with Ken Rockwell. I have a problem with the sheep in his flock. Ken presents his opinion. That's fine and he's entitled to it. The problem is that people read his opinion and take it as an absolute fact and it degrades from there.

My 5 drives I bought were in the Samsung plastic shell, wrapped in several layers of bubble wrap in pairs with a single layer of bubble wrap separating the two drives in the pair. These were then placed in larger box filled with packing peanuts. The 5 shipped from their NJ warehouse. I...

:erm: The G11 doesn't have HD video either.

You have Images as Visible Post Elements turned off in your User Control Panel. You would otherwise see this: http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/1963/sfscreenshot.png

I was under the impression it was considered poor forum etiquette to post a pile of full size images in a thread. There are no .th in any of the links. Every one of them opens in a new tab full size when clicked. :confused:

A reasonable percentage of my pictures came out ok considering I had never shot an airshow before. From what I saw when I got home I probably I should have used a slightly higher shutter speed though. There's a bit of motion blur in a lot of my shots. It's really a fine line though. If you...

I can assure you I was on the ground shooting up from one spot the whole time. All the planes flew fairly low to stay under the clouds, so that helped some. Beyond that, it's just how they happened to be oriented when I tripped the shutter.

A few of the crappy shots from an Airshow I went to on Saturday:

I did the Sandisk rebate deal previously on three Extreme III 8GB SDHC cards ($140) and three Extreme III 4GB SDHC cards ($110) and got all $250 from them without any problem. But, then again, I have good luck with rebates. I also keep meticulous copies of everything down to the laser printed...

Somehow I don't think my 10D and new Rebel XT will be able to capitalize on the speed of the three 8GB Sandisk Extreme IV CF cards I ordered up last week. After a massive rebate and Bing cashback they'll being just $31 each.

Oh, you're talking about a laptop. Stick to USB 2.0 there.

You're afraid of PayPal? :poke: Hey, if I was using your credit card instead of mine, I wouldn't care about the price either. :bglaugh:

I also picked up an used Rebel XT that I plan to convert to an IR camera. I ordered the Life Pixel Standard IR filter for it. Surgery is tentatively scheduled for some time next week. They have a DIY guide found here. It looks doable (or I wouldn't have bought the camera & filter).

It works great, just like the real Canon one I have with the N3 connector. The only real difference is that it's for cameras with the 3/32" remote jack instead of the N3 connector (which Canon doesn't make). In your case I don't see any reason to pay $130 for the Canon TC-80N3 when you can get...

IMHO, eSATA is essential for external drives now. USB 2.0 isn't so fast when you've got a 500GB drive (or bigger). I don't think I've seen an enclosure that was eSATA that didn't need a SATA drive inside it.

I'm not sure you can do that if you also have a LAN & router because the application likely can't distinguish between local and internet traffic.

Well, I bought two of these. :king: I hope they're the right ones. :cherry:

No, I hate my Samsung N120 from many months ago. The one with the 10" 1024x600 screen and the crawling Atom processor. I canceled the pre-order for the faster Acer one with the larger higher res screen. I'm waiting for the dual core model.

They must have detected you weren't using Chrome. :p

Anyone have any recommendations on where to buy 32pin SAS to 4 SATA breakout cable for a Dell Perc 5/i / LSI 8408E card? I see they're pretty cheap on ebay if you buy 'em from China or Hong Kong. Are there any state side inexpensive sources for them?

Those poor souls. I hate my netbook with a passion.

I feel sorry for the suckers who get stuck with 'em as their "laptop".

The sample pics from Canon's US site look pretty good, but they're all ISO80, so the jury is still out on how the camera will perform overall. http://www.usa.canon.com/app/images/PowerShot_2009/PS_S90/sampleimg/sampleimg_1.jpg...

Some people on candlepowerforums have done very detailed comparisons also that show the Eneloops to be the battery of choice.

I'll have to admit I didn't think Canon had the stones to abandon the megapixel wars.

FWIW, I got the Samsung 1.5TB 5400 RPM drives for $90 each from Newegg after 10% bing cashback.

You must like to live dangerously. :skepo:

There's a great idea! :drinka: And it's AID-0

He suffers from very poor reading comprehension as is evident from his last post.

I just ordered 5 of these from Newegg. :cooler: 6TB RAID-5 array here I come. :owneddnce:
