10x faster for what? The i7 CPUs are not that much faster than the Core 2, so there is no miracle. Of course the CF-51 is only a single-core (2GHz?) P-M machine, but not 10x slower. There are some recent PATA SSDs that help old notebooks perform better. I tried the X25-E in my notebook last...

I probably will not use the caddy itself, but will pull out the bridge board instead. However, I am less than optimistic overall since the transformation is from ICH SATA->IDE->SATA. It's plain stupid that manufacturers used IDE optical drives for so long.

They are pretty the much the same as any laptop computers as far as I noticed in use. What exactly are you looking for?

It depends on the area. In the city I think there would be some attention to low-flying craft, including from law enforcement types concerned about terrorist threats. You would also need to be sure that insurance covers property damages and injuries should the vehicle crash in a populated area.

I found one that looks to be the right kind. There is only one way to know for sure, so I ordered it. Somehow an adapter seems too good to be true. We shall see.

Why does the difference matter? Is it in tight quarters?

Maybe it will at least have a stand. :)

Just wait for the 2nd or 3rd generation iPAD.

There will be larger capacities and the price difference will be more significant. A cheap, but decent 128GB SSD would be welcome for many notebooks. It won't be too long now.

I can wear the very large green sombrereo outside then. ;) If the aircraft were within visual range, would it be possible to jam the controls by sending a strong signal focused with a parabolic dish? How much money do consumers spend on these spy planes anyway?

I hope so. I have a 1ft cable and a few 3 and 7 ft cables.

3 meters? What exactly is the issue with 9" vs. 6"?

In the 1960s we had a 5-digit number for local calls and 7 for the county. 10 digits was only for long distance. Most phone numbers consists of 10 digits now, even for local calls.

On cable, it's a blotchy version of what TV once was.

Is there any good way to shoot down the spying variety?

:oops: However this place is not family orientated. ;)

Lightroom?

Yes, I was thinking of Gary H. too, since the logo is goofy. He was the king of the socket puppets. ;)

Can't you find a company that makes custom cables?

The police could get the password in a few minutes.

CARP? Australian lingo for something?

Not a sock puppet and you know. Odd.

Every time I tried one of those, the numbers were far too high compared to actual power consumption. Does that one offer real-world relevance?

Of course it is different when you have outlets to sell used goods. I used to have that option, but it is not feasible any more. I estimated about $7k or so per year depreciation, at least half of that on bodies. Eventually items are worthless and tossed.

The first one looks like the right type. If only it were available here for normal sale.

Bleh. It's not worth it over where I am now.

But the Dell is designed for it, no doubt. This computer has a standard 50-pin DVD-RAM.

i7-980X is rather expensive.

I wish there were a way to remove the OD and replace it with a second HD. Damn.

It is not so difficult to figure this place out. ;)

It is a conventionally powered design, not a jet pack. Jet packs have been around for many years, but the operating time is low. Perhaps the government will buy the flying packs for the military or law enforcement. I sure would not want to be on one in any significant wind. :crap:

:D I'm not sure how many digits are needed down there though.

If I'm doing the math correctly, the 50% percent probability of randomly unlocking the device is reached at 3.7 years assuming perfect timing and 24/7 attempts.

I wonder how many times have people have committed crimes due to mistaken identity?

That is fine for home use, but I want a USB drive to travel with. I'm not in IT so admin privileges are not an option.

I can't use a software-based drive.

Do they operate correctly on any computer? Are there any other hardware-based USB drives to consider?

Oh man, you were taken. :(

Are these any good?

It is an odd device. "fun attitude" SPEC Specifications Dual mode handheld massager (strong/normal) Power ON/OFF button and power button setting 2 power level & 2 massage furnaces to relax tense muscles Quiet & efficient operation Ergonomically designed to massage neck, shoulder & wrist...

They don't make 'em like that anymore. :)

I did not even notice the 10K mark for David. :beer:

I should have said that the upgrade from 500GB @ 5400 to the 7200.4 was useless. (There was no 640GB drive at the time.) I suspect that the newer 7200 RPM Hitachi is faster than the Seagate. However, I'm more interested in a 1TB drive now.

There are too many different OCZ drives with similar names. :( I have one of the 30GB models (OCZSSD2-1VTX30G) which is OK in XP. It is slower than the X25-M G2 when pushed with heavy writes, but most users don't do that. X25-E is still the better one to use.

Er... thought and 500GB...

Today I loaded the page with photos on. Damn that is a huge case. :o What kind is it?

Yeah, I though about that drive. Yet I have a 500MB 7200.4 which is rather useless.

Soon they will claim to be the inventor of the apple.

I'm not sure if it is worth getting one of these drives. For sure there will be something better a few days later.

Now Greg is touting the joys of SSDs. What has the world come to? :mrgrn:
