It depends on your definition of necessary. Species have existed for millions of years without HVAC. I've lived in many climates including some that have only heat or only AC and some that have a rather stable temperature in between. However, I'm very temperature sensitive, preferring 22-24...

What do you mean instead? That was the first 7D for me.

Thanks. In 2008 I did not think I would make it this far so soon. Of course all of my accounts in total were over the 5K mark a while ago. ;)

I was never able to get all the hard drives back on line after sleep and the video lost calibration. (Of course that was with an old OS.) Which RAID controllers are you using?

Servo AF did not seem to be good on static subjects using the * back button. I did not have time to mess with it.

I thought the good ones have an sRGB mode. :cat:

Yes it is. I need a new HVAC for $6800. :rant:

7D was unreliable.

I returned the dog. I'm not sure how many tries are needed to get a good one? :rr:

Hairy Aussie? I thought that was for Tony/Tea. :monky: :)

Computer is locking up with some drives. I don't know what is up now.

That is the case I used here. Come to think of it, that system with C2D @ 3.5 only used 66W sans monitor. I built it as a gift and it was rather difficult to part with. It is very quiet and has a sturdy base for a monitor. There are only a few minor quibbles, such as the power switch. I...

I have Seasonic 700W in the main computer. The second computer has the 430W PS included in the Antec Soldana II case. I think it is an Antec, but probably a cheap one.

Yet it does not. Are there any 6Gbps 8-port RAID controllers that "see" the drives?

The NICs are so cheap that I used the PCI type because I had the slot and wanted to keep the PCIe free. I don't know if there is any difference in speed.

I'm so glad not to have clicked.:b-day:

It does not show any SMART data. I think the ICH ports are needed for that function. :bleh:

How much inefficiency is in the PS? I'm wondering it that is why the older one with fewer HDs is using a similar amount of power to the main PC, which is understandably more power hungry.

I know the answer without visiting a website. :owneddnce:

Well yes, that is what I am asking.

Modern CPUs don't use too much power at idle. Running 24/7 is probably the biggest waste. Does your UPS show the power drain? I wish computers were more compatible with instant on mentality, so there would not be the need to keep them on all the time.

In the past ~12 years of SF and SR, I've never read nor posted from work. I was more concerned about being traumatized. :D

Of course there is AC. I notice a large difference in temperature between being home all day with computer(s) on (+3-6 °F) and returning from work when they have been off (+1-2 °F). My notebooks are 1.2GHz. I suppose I should not worry about it. Winter will be here soon enough if I'm still...

I think it is the WD. Now I will be getting flamed soon. :dwarf:

I'd rather be at work today. However, there is no AC on holidays so I would be fried to a crisp.

I have one of the latter, too. :aok:

Good for you! My health is deteriorating and nobody knows why. I'm not exercising anymore at all. I am so bored being trapped here Sunday and Monday with no place to go or transportation. :(

My computers are heating up the joint something awful this summer. :puke-l: The main machine with 6 HDs spinning and 2 SSDs is using about 180-200W, fluctuating. The odd part is that the backup computer only has two hard drives, one SSD and optical drive, yet uses almost the same amount of...

Most of the drives are grayed out - not a lot of use. :(

Oh man. I'm not falling for that link.

Never mind. My anti-spware/malware did not like the link for some reason.

I have an Intel PCI GbE card in one machine and it works just fine for transferring files to other machine. It was a Newegg OEM and I downloaded the drivers from somewhere.

The link is doing nothing. :dunno:

It could be Samsung, WD or Seagate. I'll have to open that one up because the drive shows as SCSI on its controller. I think it is most likely the 5900 RPM Seagate.

I'm not even sure which hard drive it is yet and I don't keep the receipts. :blue:

WTF? It's worse than I thought. :tdown:

Suddenly the write speeds are extremely low. The drive was fine (I thought) since some time in 2009 and then I reformatted and began to copy 922GB of data to it. After about halfway through I noticed that it had slowed to a crawl. It is awfully slow to write on multiple controllers and in...

The $600-700 range HPs and Dells with "X"-IPS panels are fine for most use. Unfortunately there is often some inconsistency from monitor to monitor and within parts of the panel. A no-fault return policy would be the most important factor to me. :alien:

Unfortunately the industry standard has gone down the crapper to 16:9, which is awful for productivity. :rabbit:

AFAIK the LCD TVs all utilize 1080 short screens, which were rejected by the OP (rightly so for most uses). Are there any with more pixels?

I try to keep the luggage value at <$5K, but sometimes it is closer to $10K. A notebook is not very valuable compared to even a tripod, which I check all the time. To me, the TSA lock simply indicates if the luggage has been searched. Even a much heavier lock can be cut easily. I bought a...

Is she the clingy type? Or do I dare ask, since she reads the SF? :crnval: Neither of you travel for business?

This is the section I was recalling. Perhaps the part about not packing laptops in checked baggage is a suggestion, not an absolute rule? :flower:

Yes. Sorry to degress. :cat:

Of course it outside of the declared range. It looks like the CG245W is same display as the CG243W but with the built-in calibrator. I'm not sure how effective that is, but why not get the newer model for the same price?

It is the same as the I know the name, but miss the relevance to the fruit issues. Presumably there is no good way to preserve bananas other than cooking or dehydration. :smurf:

Those don't fit into the larger category? A problem I've had is the laptop. I could swear that they were not allowed in luggage for some reason.

I know the name, but miss the relevance to the fruit issues. Presumably there is no good way to preserve bananas other than cooking or dehydration. I assume that somebody tried gamma and sealed foil/film. :smurf:

To go another step up, the Eizo uses a similar panel. I was planning to buy a CG243W this summer, but then I read about the new CG245W. :cyclopsani:
