And yet, the most common and widely used OS doesn't support it.

What a kludge... I wonder if this will stall HD development at 2TB? Some RAID controllers will let you carve up an array into 2TB chunks, but obviously a stand alone HD on a SATA controller lacks that capability.

Yes, but XP x86 (32-bit) doesn't support GPT.

I guess that should be disks larger than 2TB, not partitions.

From what I read XP x32 does not support partitions greater than 2TB. Is that not correct?

Wait... You're actually surprised that liberal Democrats say one thing and do another? :confused: You're surprised that liberal Democrats want other people to live by rules that they themselves don't? :confused: What are you smoking and can I have some of it?

Looks like we don't need to cut back on our CO2 emissions after all. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090127/ts_alt_afp/uswarmingenvironmentclimate_20090127132619

Yes, I realize that. I was attempting to illustrated the absurdity of focusing only on one characteristic and making it the sole focus.

What the Gigabyte SATA2/Jmicron controller uses USB? Brilliant!

I'm all for using non fossil fuels. Call me when we find one that's actually viable. Ethanol from corn sure isn't.

Kingston can resell them all day long if it means lower prices.

I don't disagree with any of them. I just haven't seen any proof that the sum of them ads up to a statistically significant component in climate change. Correlation does not equal causation. CO2 is only ~385PPM (by volume) in our atmosphere. On Mars the atmosphere is nearly 95% CO2, yet Mars...

You clearly missed my point. The climate has been changing for longer than we've been around. The earth has warmed and cooled, many times. In fact the climate has always been changing. It never is a constant. The climate changes on cycles. We haven't been around long enough to know where...

Aww... I guess my analogy hit too close to home. :(

Have you guys heard about the darkness crisis? We're losing a few minutes of darkness every day. At this rate we're going to run out within a year. We have to act now!

But everyone still needs to cut back on CO2 emissions even the people who are cooling right?

If the optical drives are on the IDE controller in these new systems they still don't work because even the IDE controller is a secondary controller that the standard boot CDs don't support. I wonder if a USB optical drive works...

So it's not global warming, but regional warming now?

Here's the Reader's Digest version of my saga: I attempted to flash 4 of my drives. The Seagate flashing tool wouldn't even work on one of my systems regardless of which of the two SATA controllers (ICH10R & Gigabyte/Jmicron) I put the drives on, and I put the controllers in IDE mode. It...

All five of my 7200.11 that are on the list of affected models come back as "not affected" from the serial number checker. I was able to flash 3 of them (ST31500341AS), but the firmware update for the ST31000333AS won't apply to mine because it only works on the 9FZ136-300 and 9FZ136-336 and I...

No idea if it conforms to BTX or not. It wasn't so bad with a motherboard with 6 PCI slots. This new mobo only has 2 32-bit PCI slots and the southbridge HS prevents the 64-bit 3ware card from going into the 32-bit slot closest to all the drives. Once I retire the PATA RAID and drives and go...

A picture of the aforementioned brilliance:

I have no idea, but it makes for a awful time routing PATA cables from an upside down 3ware RAID card to the bottom of the case. Especially when the PCI slot the 3ware card is in is at the edge of the motherboard. I'll have to take a picture later so you can marvel at their genius.

At least it doesn't hold the motherboard upside down. The Lian Li I have in my basement holds the motherboard upside down which makes for all sorts of headaches. I paid a lot of money for it, and I'd love to replace it cause it's a huge pain in the butt. It's an older version of this.

You'd better take a look through your dictionary again. I made the assertion that Bin Laden viewed the US as a paper tiger due to what he saw as a relative lack of response to terrorist attacks in the 90's. I went on to provide the quotes where Bin Laden said just that. I provided facts /...

I guess I'll have to pay more attention next time I use it.

DPP. When doing a batch convert the CPU usage on all 4 cores is pretty high.

FWIW, the Canon Raw converter seems to do a pretty job using all 4 of my Q6600's cores.

I'm not sure that is possible, or even a good idea. How do you stop Windows from accessing the drive while you're flashing it? Well, I think the ordinary users will never know about the firmware updates and will just lose their data when the bug strikes. I'm sure the shark have started circling...

If you did any research instead of just spouting off nonsense you read online you'd know Bin Laden actually called the US a paper tiger. But I guess I'm expected too much from you. In 1996 in his "Declaration of War Against the Americans," Osama bin Laden said about Somalia "You have been...

Uh... They were caught on the battlefield. That makes it a military matter, not a civil matter. They are not entitled to a trial in civil court represented by ACLU lawyers. Did the military people Mirandize them when they were arrested? If not you might as well let all of them go right now...

If you have the data on them well backed up that may be a viable option. It took me a lot of hours to get my PCs back working correctly again after this fiasco.

And the first WTC bombing and the USS Cole happened during which administration? That lack of a response to those attacks led Bin Laden to think the US was a paper tiger and that led to 9/11.

Ok, so apparently, somehow the LBA value on the drives got set to some non native value on several of my drives. That includes the 1.0TB and two 1.5B Seagate drives. I was able to set them all back to the default using the Seagate Seatools boot disk. Somehow the process of fixing the Seagate...

I spoke way too soon. The two I updated on my ICH9R in this PC now show up as 500GB empty drives and I just didn't notice it before because I was distracted with the bricked drive. I am beyond pissed with Seagate right now!

Oh, and the update on my three ST1500341AS did work.

Well, I now have a bricked Seagate 7200.11! :mad: I will never buy another Seagate drive as long as I live. This was complete avoidable but Seagate is run by a bunch of completely incompetent boobs. They posted a new firmware for the ST1000333AS. What they didn't tell you is that it only...

You mean those people taking flying lessons in the 2000 who later armed themselves with box cutters on September 11th 2001? Those are light weapons right? I guess they were just dicking around... :rolleyes: Well, that's all about the illusion of safety to keep the general public happy. The...

As opposed to their opponents with weapons from Iran, Russian, and China??? There are too many people who don't understand that the radical kooks in the Muslim world hate the west because it's not Muslim. It's has no connection to what we do. Trying to live ours life as to not make them upset...

So we shouldn't do anything about it? This is a completely ludicrous argument. How many Americans had died when we decided to get involved in WWII? If you don't respond when you're attacked you'll just keep getting attacked. How many people have to die before we should engage people who want...

Yeah, and your point? McCain was a sack of manure too. There were two democrats running for office and no conservatives. Oh, and I don't follow how you're connecting any of this to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Israeli should keep their country and pound the crap out of the terrorists...

I don't see how it's a hateful post. I'm simply connecting the dots. 1) Obama is doing things that will weaken the fight against terror. 2) That means terrorists will be more likely to succeed in an attack against the US. 3) The terrorists most likely targets are the places who voted...

What will be really funny is when those terrorists who are now in custody at Club Gitmo go on to commit some heinous terrorist act after being released and the same people who have been clamoring for Club Gitmo to close will suddenly be steaming mad about why it was closed. My only hope is the...

I think so, but I can't say for certain. I've never heard of any Eneloops not made in Japan.

It spins up but doesn't show up to the BIOS. I don't think there is any sound.

It doesn't seem particularly capitalist either. I'm not sure you can draw any conclusions of his belief in economic theory based on one action.

We're all Keynesians now. :rolleyes: The whole thing is a big fat farce. If the gov't could stimulate the economy we would never have a downturn. The gov't taking money out of the private sector for all this "stimulus" and public works projects will just make matters worse.

FWIW, Bush, Paulson, and the rest of Bush's administration threw free market capitalism to the wind with the whole bailout thing precipitated by a gov't started panic. Needless to say it was a bad idea and didn't work. The problem here is that Obama and his administration are going to double...
