Yes, that doofus. Some people at work have exchanged their BB for the Verizon kind. I still have the old one.

That is nice to know. However, I don't buy reels of ethernet cable or anything nearly so heavy. Are the mono cables of decent quality?

Oh my, you two play nice. :) What about that Verizon dude on the TV wearing glasses and always having some signal problem?

What trap? I did not buy one. I can accept a slow notebook with a wretched display.

Really? The ones I've seen look really nice, clearly better than any PC notebook I've seen. I don't know about the internal components.

I found my other pink ball, almost a year later! :beer:

That's not for me then. I decide to order an item and want to receive in 1-2 days at most. ;)

I have not used the monoprice for cables. Are they a reliable vendor? Prices are quite low.

Sure, they would like the more expensive one. ;)

Shipping is crazy and inefficient. I order four cables and receive three packages from different locations. :brilsmurf:

Maybe a lot of force? ;) Why not send it back?

Is that a professional video by an advertizing agency or kids goofing around?

So what does an ordinary person choose with a reasonable long term TCO (phone+device) that incorporates the e-mail, web and phone?

Same key on the keyboard. ;)

Same key. ;)

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Well there was a lengthy phone call hot enough to melt the handset, but no sales chick was involved. :D

Or how a hard drive is described as memory. :smack:

Yeah I would like one of those.

A screensaver is not one on an LCD. People don't get that either. ::bravo::

Someone distracted me for a couple of hours. :) I bought a cheap 46' LCD. It will be sad to see the old TV go.

3 or 4 bad anything just might indicate something else wrong with the system. :cheese:

Maybe some of these cables would help. :o

:rolleyes: Do you have any data to support that conclusion?

No, that would have to

Like one of the HD manufacturers, or do you mean Intel, Samsung, Crucial, etc.?

If it is only 400GB I'd just copy it off somewhere and back to a newly created array.

But the BB receives it first.

Sorry, but Sony products have been fairly good for me, not that I've needed much factory service in the last couple of decades.

There would be nothing left to buy If I were to develop and adhere to a similar list. :@:

Unless one is in the kitchen, appearances of the food can be deceiving. I've had the worst food poisoning at nice looking restaurants with nice looking food. :hurl: I only drank bottled beverages and never partook of the greens.

I'm embarrassed to say what happened and I'm not sure if it will be worthwhile. Let's see how it goes after delivery next week. :bleh:

Well, it's all over now. We shall see how it turns out. :shaking:

Do the credit card warranties do on site service? I need some kind of extra warranty, because a 46" TV is too large to deal with, even if it fails in the warranty period.

IIRC cache is DDR2 RAM (volatile), not NAND flash.

Sometimes one is wise to bring a large bottle of Imodium, rehydration salts, antibiotics, and some Depends. I've seen some very sick individuals go off to hospital in developing countries. It can be very scary.

Mainly the audio often has too much dynamic range so I like to compress it quite a bit. Otherwise the louder sounds are crazy and then the dialog is sometimes illegible against the background noise, HVAC, computers etc. without making the audio annoyingly loud overall. It is especially bad at...

Sure, I know. Where are the ones with a remote control? I'm getting an LCD, for the reduced weight if nothing else. I can handle a 46" LCD TV, but that is about the limit.

$250 and not even a power switch on the remote? Audio is so expensive for the basics. Ugh. :(

It is nothing like that. Length of trip would be NMT 10 working days in Q3 and around $10K max. I'm not sure if Aug-Sep is too late in the year. Photography would be minimal if any. :alb:

What are those tiny human figures doing in the background? Is that supposed to be a joke?

How could it know that some are defective? I assumed the sub-domains per color pixel are for quicker response times and/or finer control of brightness levels.

They are pretty high tech in NC RTP area. I don't know about other regions.

Cool. Let us know how it works out.

Possibly. It would still be nice to have a 2TB drive with 60GB of flash and choose to have buffering or individual use. The 3.5" drives should have enough room for packing the memory on circuit boards.

Well, you all can try it out and let us know. :profright: My computers are too complicated already.

Yeah. That would be a bit much for most of us. ;) I expect that everyone in the group will be in their 50s and yours truly is probably in the worst shape of all. :( We won't be staying at the 4-star hotels, but not roughing it too much either.

So how is it down under now?

Are there newer RAID controllers designed for the >2.2TB and advancing format drives yet? If not yet, there will be some eventually.

Thanks. I'm not sure what to do now, but I have a lot more info. :study: I will visit stores again tomorrow and buy whatever they have available for delivery in the next couple of weeks.

Now I have a question about how to get the sound as it is not possible to use internal speakers. I don't want to buy a fancy receiver system with bulky speakers. Basically I'm looking at a mini stereo system with two detachable speakers. It should have a remote control that works with the...
