    RAID 5

    My RAID-5 array is usable while it's rebuilding, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

    RAID 5

    Yes, but how is that relevant? They're no the same drive. Even the 4 200's on it are not identical. They have slightly different firmwares and model numbers.

    RAID 5

    Except the 3Ware cards don't care. It will use any 3 drives and work based on the smallest of the 3 drives. I've replaced two of the 200GB WD in my 6 drive RAID-5 array with 250GB drives and had no issues.

    I Hate Macs

    Here's one from an e-mail I got about a compatibility problem with a particular piece of software and the latest version of Quicktime for the mac. Now that's user friendly... You can't downgrade your copy of QT without re-installing.

    Best compression program (7-zip, WinZip, etc)

    Make .rar files (with a reasonable size like 20MB) then make a few PAR2 files from those and you'll have your data redundancy.

    FWIW: Antivir seems awfully paranoid... It's heuristics scanner goes off from time to time over nothing.

    What do you think of this roof?

    I've replaced one in my Maxima. It was pretty cheap. Under $200 if I recall correctly. Of course, then again the replacement windsheild wasn't OEM and is pretty cheap. Last month I got hit by a stone and there's a tiny crack (about 3mm long) which I expect will start growing shortly. So...

    Downgrade to Single Core

    Isn't your 4400+ a 2.2gHz? The $60 CPUs are 2.0gHz. I don't see any Single Core S939's above 2.4Ghz and they're ~$80 shipped.

    An inconvienent Truth and Global warming

    You missed my point... If we (mankind) aren't causing global warming, and lets say it is caused by the sun. What makes you think we are powerful enough to stop global warming? If the sun is causing global warming how is cutting back on electricity and fossil fuel usage going to stop it...

    An inconvienent Truth and Global warming

    I didn't miss the point of the thread. I can't answer the question, "How do we stop it?" when the premise assumes facts not in evidence. We can't stop what we didn't start.

    Downgrade to Single Core

    How much can you possibly get by selling it? $150? and then you have to turn around and spend another $60 on a lower end CPU... Seems like a lot of hassle for $90 and a slower PC.

    An inconvienent Truth and Global warming

    We'd better kill all the livestock then. http://news.independent.co.uk/environment/article2062484.ece "Livestock are responsible for 18 per cent of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming, more than cars, planes and all other forms of transport put together."

    Google Mars Warming. Scientists have been reporting that Mars has been warming for years also. It's certainly preposterous to thing that the same thing (the Sun) could be responsible for both. The latest story: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02/070228-mars-warming.html

    DST change, oh how I love thee

    $300 a month is high for electricity for an average home in Tennessee. You can heat a house (gas + electric) in Michigan (where it is actually cold in the winter) for less than $300 a month. Of course Algore's 10k square foot house isn't exactly average. I honestly couldn't care less about...

    DST change, oh how I love thee

    How is investing in companies researching renewable energy compensating for his extreme waste when he wants the rest of us to cut back? Especially to the point of actually reducing his "carbon output". This sound way to familiar to the indulgences of the middle ages and the Catholic Church. I...

    DST change, oh how I love thee

    Incorrect... Algore spends a ton of money on non-renewable greenhouse creating energy and then buys "imaginary" carbon offsets from his own company to make up for his "use". See http://tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070227/NEWS01/702270382 and http://www.ecotality.com/blog/?p=350

    Suggestions for a 5 port gigabit switch?

    I want a 5 port gigabit switch that's cheap but decent. My main requirement is that it can't have any fans or make any noise. Obviously I would like decent performance. I currently have an 8 port gigabit SMC 8508T and I'm not very impressed with the throughput I get (not entirely sure the...

    What do you think of this roof?

    I agree with you about BMW. I don't agree about Mercedes. I have no idea if a C class is higher end than a S, or if a S55 is better than a CLK320, etc... That one is not intuitive IMHO.

    What do you think of this roof?

    GM has some good cars but they're too spread out. A few for each "brand". That's why GM needs to take their few good models and keep Saturn and Cadillac or Chevy and Cadillac for cars and use GMC for their trucks and get rid of Pontiac, Buick, and whatever other brands they have. The Japanese...

    What do you think of this roof?

    If GM knew how to do that, they'd be selling a lot more cars. They've had this problem for a long time where the same basic car was sold by Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, and Olds. The bean counters assumed that counted as 4 unique models where as the car buying public viewed it more like 1.4...

    Will Ford make it past this year?

    Yes, but you can bet that Toyota didn't think short term like the big 3 and figured they'd spend the money now and worry about saving for their employees pensions later. They probably put the money into their retirement "fund" back 30 years ago like the big 3 should have been doing.

    Will Ford make it past this year?

    Well... For what it's worth GM/Buick is the #1 selling "brand" in China. GM is in better shape than Ford primarily because their overseas operations are successful.
