A car was left in PA since early December with the GPS in it. Temperature was far below the specs. Is it kaput?

OMG, I thought you had some sort of SSD setup by now. STR is so 1990s. IOPs is all the rage. Do yourself a favor. Just buy one of the Vortex drives and see the difference. Two is better than one, but I question that more will help much in your antiquated system. I'd put the money into new...

Yeah, I've hosed several, but never without a backup or two. In 6 days one could build the world. The ultimate question is the value of the data. I would not send hard drives to some foreign country for data recovery.

2 year olds need video conferencing? WTF?

MLC? I wonder about that M controller.

When will there be an SP1?

B&H was less than Newegg as well.

How do you print boarding passes?

You should only need two, CF and SD. Others are ugly.

I have several printers and many pens. :)

:oops: I recall it is a WD 250 or 320 GB drive. I meant MB/sec. of course.

I had recently obtained a TV again around that time, having watched very little network TV over the previous decade.

The name alone is revolting.

I think DD has been smoking too many SSD fumes. :mrgrn: The drive is two years old, so it hits around 60GB/sec. max. On a 100Mbs connection it takes forever to copy a 40.0GB file. :eek4:

Thanks, Blake. I'll try that in a few months.

Doesn't Google read all your e-mails and use them for advertising purposes?

Thanks, all. The router is only 100Mbs, which is not so good. Unfortunately the setup was over a week ago, I'm long gone now, and the user most likely won't want to buy a new wireless and configure it. Since the wireless router is attached to the modem, will another laptop in the house...

Well, that stinks. :mad: Is the issue with the computers or the wireless? For example, would a 3rd computer be able to simultaneously access the internet wirelessly?

Yes that is essentially correct. Computer A is the notebook. Computer B is the system I built recently. The user wanted to be able to copy files between them sometimes and wireless is too slow for a few GB each time. So I added a spare 100Mb NIC to the main system and it is connected to the...

Both computers lose the internet when connected directly to each other through a separate line. For internet, one is on the wireless and one is on the port on the wireless router. What is going on?

No. They work just fine, and are more reliable and long lasting. I have one from the last 60s or early 70s somewhere. Most of the people are probably dead by now, though.

Its memory and hard drive usage are awful, that's for sure.

An X25-E would be a noticeable increase without a need for RAID 0. What are you using now, some JMicron wonder?

There are not enough slots or PCIe lanes in most motherboards. Maybe on a server board...

PS does nothing with an open file until it is saved. I know that much.

How is that a goodbye? It will only get worse.

Paying more per GB for MLC, and slower in some critical tests is not so good in 2010. :( I'm waiting for SATA 6.0 Gbps SSDs.

If I want to communicate with myself I just do it in my head or talk out loud. There is no need for e-mail. ;)

I'm wondering if it would be worth replacing the CPU in about 6-12 months.

The Samsung is now rather pricey at $180. Perhaps it will decrease in a couple of months.

I use whites from a jpeg where possible, but it is not always an option. All the modern high-tech stuff is just plain annoying. With any luck cell phone usage will remain about 6-8 hours per year.

It was not too bad, considering the situation. ;)

I may get a few for the backups but my experience with WD drives about 9 months ago indicates that 5400 RPM 2TB drives are not the best option for the primaries. Samsung is always way behind the times, seemingly waiting until the technology is cheap and mature before jumping into the market.

Is that the famous PUI David mentioned a few times? :)

Why don't you conect the Blu-ray directly to the TV? Isn't that their function? Why make everything so complicated?

I plan to buy 16 x 2TB of the old-fashioned drives in the next 2 months. I am hoping that gets me through the upheaval of the XP era. I'm not sure if using mostly Hitachi mostly drives is the best choice. WD 72.K is too expensive. :(

Festivus and everyting is over. Time for a rotten 2010.

I was gitted with a newer phone. Damn thing is excessively complicated and has horrible graphics background. Idiot designers and programmers have no options for pain backgrounds. :( attery life is good which was lacking in the old phone.

Vidoe is great I suppose. How do you edit it? I am clueless about that.

New 2tB DRIVE IS AFORMATTED.

I am impressed with your massive personal storage capabilitidsites. I am offsite and have only 14 TB of my drives here.

I had a slightly defective 1.5GB 5400 Samsunghos drive that cots me at least 8 hours of my life. There are no 7200RPM 2TB Sammie drives listed.

I drank a whole botlte of that by myself. :drinka: First time ever and probably the last. Alcohol is strange. :santa:

I have two Intel drives, but they are tiny. We shall see about Samsung 2TB drives. Maybe they will appear in Q1 next year and maybe they will work, or neither.

:oops: :) I did not mean to imply any personal involvement in the activities, and I thought it was odd that people think I'm involved in such business activities.

Round 4 in progress...

The question is whether he still looks like that. :D

How old? I stopped watching after 1979 and then watched a few times in the late 80s and early 90s.

I tried Hibernate and the video card lost its calibration.

I'm not sure how cost affects that more than a few seconds. The key factor is simplicity. A desktop with a single fast SSD should be faster than spinning up and initializing 16 drives in three arrays.
