    Sure, it is common that people come to work even when sick. I'm too weak and in pain these days to do much of anything. It must be a kind of killer flu. Problem is I need to buy some food and I'm also getting dehydrated. Drinking is so painful.

    Seagate SSD

    So it's more like a supermarket with other stuff, like some of the larger department stores in other countries. Maybe I was thinking of the Wal-greens. I doubt they would have much in-store selection of SSDs in any event.

    I'm officially sick due to infectious disease for the first time in about 5 years. :( Not counting surgeries, therapies or diagnostic medical procedures, how often do you miss work days due to infectious disease? :monkey:

    Seagate SSD

    It probably means that those stores sell some Seagate drives, such as externals. I doubt that Walmart sells the high-end SSDs. Aren't they mostly a drug store?

    The Pulsox .xt2 looks very interesting. It uses SLC flash and is rated for 35 PB of writes. :D

    So will we see even crappier OCZ SSDs or are they just destroying the competition?

    No, it is still not working. I think they fixed the first one, but not the others. CH

    It was a rip-off so OCZ probably replaced the crummy drives to avoid a class action suit.

    Laptop Drive has bad sectors - what should I replace it with

    That one is fine. I think the Hitachi is too. And I agree that the 500GB Seagate 7200 RPM drive is slower than it should be for some reason. :drl:

    The existence of your posts is extremely useful. Any post is a good post (except that Uda) and so much better than going out of business. :cry:

    Hitachi Data Systems to spin of storage division

    Seagate sucks anyways, and Samsung is always behind the technology curve. Elimination of Hibachi will increase prices and slow down hard drive improvements due to lack of competition. I wonder if WD will retain the 5-platter mechanism. :crucified:

    What, water? I took the remote apart and tried to connect, but I don't have the time to do it right. I was better at that stuff in the 70s and 80s.

    I destroyed the thin layer of conductive material on the remote's cheap power witch, the one with the big red button. You should see the wall socket. It has a 6-outlet tap with an x10 and etc. on it.

    Televisions as monitors: What are you using, and why?

    Most content sucks in any format. :( But hey, I added 3 new LCD TVs in less than two months. That's as modern as I get. ;) I have not tried to use one as a monitor. I would not have a place to put one that is not too close.

    Interesting. :idea: I thought it was a particular brand from India. I don't know anything about the beers in the US. When I was stationed in Europe some years ago everyone was drinking beers, especially in Germany. It seemed like every city had its own beer and they were kind of strong. I...

    The USB 3.0 low-power device current is 150mA, but the high-power device current is 900mA. The high-power mode is needed for external devices such as 2.5" hard drives.

    question Larger TVs

    What do you all use for cleaning the screens? Some filth has accumulated. I used two types of LCD/plasmatic cleaning kits, but they both leave the surface somewhat smeary. Can I use a stronger cleaner, maybe something with an alcohol?

    Between the sync and the overscanning maybe 450 lines were visible, but that was not my point. Anyway the sales guy is long dead now.
