    RAM prices finally falling...

    It's too bad my mainboard does not have more memory slots. I could use 32 or even 48GB. :)

    I found one software that seems to work, but costs more than the camera. :rabbit: There is so much nasty stuff on the internet.

    Weird free space problem with 2TB drive

    Maybe there is a hidden file with a secret message. :bomb:

    Yeah, and the small differences in efficiency don't mean much.

    Weird free space problem with 2TB drive

    FAT32 does not support large files, so NTFS is needed for that reason too.

    Maybe so there, but cable is flaky around here. Slower is better than none for unacceptable periods of time.:smurf:

    Of course the notebook is connected to a UPS along with the modem and network switch.

    Where do you buy cards? I'm not thrilled with what I see in stores. :colors:

    It has an ULV Core 2 Duo and the thermostat setting will be lowered during our absence. The little CPU fan may not even turn on. I hope to get close to 4 weeks of Windows operation.

    I can't do a clean install, but at least the computer does not have a self destructo timer. I will be using a laptop to minimize power consumption. I've not run a personal computer continuously for more than a couple of days ever. Meanwhile, I hope the internet does not crap out. :batman:

    No, I'm not doing videos. Searching for googling for software is scary nowadays. I found several pages with malwares. :eek3: After trying five apps and many reboots, I'm becoming quite cross. :rambo: Assuming I can find an ape that actually transfers files and does not hang after a while...

    I picked up the Logitech today. It is decent for the sale price and has a native 1600x1200 output. Unfortunately the software is useless unless one uses the Facebook, Twitter, or other social nervewracking sites. Does anyone have suggestions for a basic app that sends jpegs to an FTP site at...

    Now the other one I bought has a different problem. Cards reads fine, albeit limited to PIO modes. However, the monitor blanks out when a USB device is inserted. WTF is up with that? :evil:

    I have one now, but it is not very friendly. The single USB port is cockeyed. :bstd: 64GB and 32GB CF cards are not detected. I'm not sure where the limit is and never knew there was one. :alb:

    Why must TV forsake me?

    I think it mostly because the reality shows are cheap, but then viewers decrease and there is a viscious cycle. :frowner:

    I can pick up Fedex packages from the station at ~6-8 PM. With UPS one must hope that they leave it at the door or accept the signature for leaving it the next day. Sometimes the package cannot be left no matter what and it goes beck to the reseller after a few failed delivery attempts. :(...

    I'm not using the hdpharman or other funk tools. In that case it should not happen in casual use, correct?

    I'm revisiting the subject again as I will be travelling for an extended period in December and January and then again around February. I understand the software better now, so it is mostly a matter of getting a decent camera. Is the Logitech still a good brand?

    Did you check the power outlet for any faults? I always check that first with a small plug-in device.

    I recently replaced the battery. It is possible that the system in the new case with the large fans is so quiet now that I'm hearing sounds that were always present.

    Cloning a HD to a smaller SSD (v. partition alignment)

    Tha last version of DI (v.7) was awful and that was before Symantec bought Powerquest. Backups had to be created by the installed software and restores had to be run from the CD. The CD could not create backups. :mad: Loading the CD took several minutes, because it had to read a Windows PE...

    Perhaps because you like buying things on sale? (I don't have any wireless, so I neglected the sales.)

    I don't know how much power a leopard can produce but the acceleration and leaping are amazing for an animal the size of a human. The first time your eyes don't track properly because they move so fast. Of course they can't sustain the speeds for long.

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    I'm attempting to use a X25-M G2 in a Kingpin 3.5" dual-drive, trayless rack thingie. It eventually fits with a lot of jiggling, but something will give out at this rate.

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    Does anyone else have that problem or do you mount 2.5" disks permanently? I don't want to remove any screws and void the warranty.

    Computer worm. Is this possible, or fiction?

    Maybe some can't see too well, but some can see just fine. I'll agree with you that the sound is not very important. Low distortion and good volume in the midrange seem to help.
