Stupid question, but are you sure the the USB drive partitition is set to active?

Some USB products are crap, period.

It is discontinued for some reason. Maybe 12 sec. is insufficient for all the generators to start each time. I don't know what we have at work, but sometimes the generator turns on outside.

Everything will be connected to a 120VAC GFI box.

Why? The products run on low voltage DC and the adapters are reasonably sealed. I don't think there are any moving parts or open switching contacts.

:dunno:

No problems with flash drives, but I've had some with enclosures.

Around 1970 tried to connect the two channels of a Marantz power amp together to double up on the power. Of course there was only one right way to do it, and with a 50% chance you can guess what happened. :cursin:

One for the utilities section?

No. I don't have any. :( Cinemax is as racy as it gets here. :cyclopsani:

Oh my, the range is up to 300 feet. :eek3: Does that mean that 5 people could be tapping in?

I'd love to replace my aging little C2D notebooks, but will there be a good ULV version for 3lb. notebooks that accept a couple of regulation hard drives?

That would be the purely hypothetical part. -Ed.

Wait until you are well into middle age. Everything takes longer. :(

Did you finally get the bed for Christmas? Is your ladyfriend recovering?

Is this one the right kind?

OK, you know I meant 5.8GHz. ;) According to the advertizing hype, 2.4GHz is full of interfering coms compared to 5.8. Yet my telephones use 6.0 GHz to avoid the supposed crowding with 5.8GHz devices. :erm:

Is 5.8MHz really that much better than 2.4GHz for the transmission?

What do the specs indicate about the RPM and capacity? Links?

I'm not willing to get into any complicated wiring or have ugly cables in a bathroom and there are no longer analog channels here. It is a long story but one of my old TVs went cattywampus recently. I finally broke down and bought a new LCD TV (gasp) and rotated them around. Now the...

I don't want to get my computers involved with video. Anyway, I don't have any wireless networks at this point.

I don't need no stinkin' androids in the john with me. :eekers: There are serveral cheapie ~10" units that might work. They would not require a VESA mount, just a small shelf.

What is the battery life when using the phone GPS as a window-mounted GPS? Do you get 3-4 hours as with a GPS?

No, I want to view the cable TV. A laptop would be too expensive and too complicated to connect.

I'm thinking about getting one of those cheap 10" portable TVs and the RF-Link to beam the signal into the bathroom. Does anyone have experience or advice on a video system in the toilet?

Recovery testing is normally a requirement of any backup system. That is the only way to be 100% certain. :salut:

Ugh. It's too bad there is no way to catch all that for long term water supply.

How close are you to the subject, 10m, 30m, 50m?

I'm already in withdrawal from hard drives. I don't know if I can make for 6 months without any new ones. :(

It seems like there are a bunch of new ones signing up lately.

Do you need a longer lens or do you mean that 200 mm is too long for your needs?

D3X, but they are rented or borrowed, not owned.

I think it has been known for some years, but the .2x nm cells have recently brought the issue into the spotlight.

Maybe 72TB is enough, though I don't like having to buy 256GB drives for the higher performance. We have not heard much noise about the C300 series SSDs which is probably a good thing.

It's not just you, I don't understand the server either. I may be generally clueless but I would not use those Samsung drives in any kind of server.

You should always back up regularly in any case. RAID is not a substitute.

Have you considered using a 750GB drives until the 1TB drives in 9.5mm height are available? I don't think it will that long now.

Doesn't that mean some SAS drives are in order?

The 3TB Hitachi is in stock now. The price is not bad at all.

Iomega now has Personal Cloud Technology. It sounds like an experience after eating Mexican food. :eek3:

All of my desktops have USB 3.0 and eSATA, but none of my notebooks have either. USB 3.0 is just as fast as eSATA for the 2.5" drives and does not require the extra power cable. :bsmurf:

Or a PSD, PSB, mp3, most audio/video files, etc. What files are highly compressible, TIFF, WAV and uncompressed video? Maybe MS Office files?

Or you can often find a more compact 1TB USB 3 drive on sale for little more than the cost of a bare drive.

If you have an extra 3.5" bay it should be possible to fit four 2.5" drives in one of those Antec dealies.

Yeah, and they won't have a good firmware for a few months after that. Anyway, I'm skeptical that it will be that much faster. I don't trust that highly compressible data claim.

It would really be nice to use two of those 128GB cards in backup mode. One could shoot all day or even a few days without changing cards or worrying about data loss.

Isn't that what a Blackberry or similar is for, to send a real e-mail? I suppose texts are easy to send on a regular phone, but what about the previous e-mails and attachments (PDF, doc, xls etc.)?

Or buy one 100MB/sec. CF card. Maybe not. :o

I figure that if anyone wants to communicate with me they are trying to sell me something. I don't answer the door or the phone either. :pirate:

It must have been a rather small contest to have 130 votes win. :eek3:
