I meant, can I use double sided foam tape or something of the sort? There are no screws or holes in the case to mount it like a hard drive.

Is it necessary to mount the drive?

Yeah, just few. ;) Six Canon digital bodies, including three 1 series 24x36 bodies (54MP in just those), 13 L lenses, other lenses, flashes, etc...

In practice, 100%. I see the images on screen when working with them, but the end "user" sees the print. That part is not different from the darkroom days. Images shown on the web are at a substantially reduced resolution, so sharpness and noise, etc. are not a concern. In fact many people...

OK. I won't bother with it then. I never get any viruses or malware anyway.

It should work on any SATA controller, but SATA II is needed for good performance. I'm getting sustained reads of 240-250 MB/sec (some fluctuations) and writes of 200-205 MB/sec. The latter is a pleasant surprise since the write specs in the datasheet indicate only 170MB/sec. However, 200+...

I am unsure about this. My XP SP2 does not have any antivirus. Does the MS patch add the XP antivirus protection, or is the XP antivirus the undesirable part?

They are plenty fast enough even for Santilli to love. Cheetahs? We ain't got no Cheetahs. We don't need no stinkin' Cheetahs! ;)

Just one! It is the single most expensive hard drive for me since the original Atlas 10K. I'm not made of money like so many IT people. I'm glad to have waited for several years until a truly high performance SSD existed. Now I am hoping to get a couple of good years of use from it. I only...

There is another reason why most legitimate businesses do not want employees to keep anything of value at work. Your private property is probably not covered by their business insurance. I know that theft, loss or damage was specifically not covered by one of my employers. That was just about...

Not very many vegetarians around those parts?

The 50D would be a bad choice for weddings. It is good, inexpense teleconverter for long lenses, but not what one wants for blacks and whites in lower light.

The X25-E is fast, really fast. :jumpin: :jumpin: :jumpin: :jumpin: :jumpin: :jumpin: :jumpin: :jumpin: :jumpin: :jumpin: :jumpin: :jumpin: :jumpin:

Crazy. I don't know many pros that would risk a paying gig and their reputation on such a new and questionable piece of gear.

Samsung F1 is $99.99. Seagate 1.5 TB is the best deal - if you have the guts to buy one.

Now that task is completed, but now there is another problem. One hard drive is missing. :(

Unhappy with your GPS? Try this. :mrgrn:

The 500GB WD drive is formatting now..................................

What firmware? I've never needed any for a hard drive. Seagate must be building some seriously defective drives.

The Seagate 1.5TB drive has many bits and is heavy.

It has been horrible recently. Bloody ate my posts.

Video on a DSLR is a kludge.

I read that, but how credible of a manufacturer is Intel lately? If it were a Seagate or Samsung device, I would not trust it as far as it could be tossed. ;)

We drove over 3500 miles this year on vacations and the GPS was great. POI were useful in finding markets and restaurants, which are especially important in the small towns.

It is interesting, but limited to an OS supported by the drivers. Perhaps one of those and an SSD would be a good combination. That X-25E sure is enticing. What is the current consensus opinion of Intel? Will their SDD drive be reliable enough to use for a few years?

The 30" displays just aren't that good. I f*cking give up. :( Why is it that monitors are worse now than 3 years ago?

The stupid modem does not like me. A couple of years ago I tried connecting it to three different wireless thingies and no dice. I searched on the internet and disovered that I was not the only victim of incompatibilities. There was some esoteric (to me) solution, but I lost interest...

Wow, a TV set on the wall. :cool: Times sure have changed.

You know, it is still not too late to straighten up and fly right with Nikon. ;)

No, the connection to the computer is always on.

Thanks. That would probably be fine in normal situations, assuming that I had a network. :(

Did you notice any difference in vertical viewing angle? I need to buy a 32' LCD TV soon and am concerned about the appearance from below, e.g., lying on the floor.

Thanks for the replies. I was hoping for a product to simply buy, plug in and install, but nothing is ever simple. :(

We use UPS to ship hundreds of millions of dollars of high-value goods per year, with minimal problems. The nice part about UPS is that they have such a range of integrated services, not just the shipping, e.g., depot storage, logistics, import/export (incl. restricted regulated materials)...

Most movies these days just suck, at least those from US manufacturers. Maybe there are five excellent ones and 10 decent ones in a year. The rest are mediocre or worse entertainment. I'm not going to the theaters ever again.

Speaking of GPS, I bought the Garmin 255W as a X-mas gift. (I have a slightly ulterior motive in that the Garmin interface is familiar and I will occasionally be operating the device in the role of navigator.:)) The "XX5" series has some nice features like speed limits, better POI and...

My question was unclear. I want a USB camera that connects to a computer which is connected to the internet. I would be using an old Pentium M notebook (XP) to minimize power use.

Not I. I had a four-day weekend but decided to go in for a few hours on Thursday.

I'm searching for a cheap web camera that will upload jpegs periodically through FTP to my web space. I want to see what is going on around here during some extended travel. There are many webcams in the local stores to choose from. However, the pictures on the boxes tend to show goofy...

So what is up lately in the LED flashlights? I have been using the Fenix TK-11 for awhile. Is there anything better of the type?

You are not alone. I went to the office and worked for a few hours today. It was completely quiet for a change, and of course there were none of my employees to be thinking about.

Older than what?

I've only 56 hours remaining for December. It should be enough, given that 25th and 26th are holidays.

Horrible. Driving around in a 70' trailer pretending to be an ancient train is not my idea of luxury. It is no wonder there are dual bartenders. Most sober people would be bored rather quickly.

Quicktime can eat me. :-P

It looks very nice compared to all the hyped crap out there. David will probably have one by next week. ;) I'll wait until January.

I'm almost afraid to ask how you are acquainted with the person. I hope you did not find out the hard way. :o I mean, who mentions that in a conversation?

Does your Garmin ask for a map update? Mine has been doing so for a while now. I'm trying to decide if it is worth the upgrade to the 2009 maps.
