It is too hot again!

Sorry about your grandmother. :(

Recovery from what?

I think this will be cool. No sense of adventure, then?

Will all the people that paid exhorbitant prices for the first iPhono last year buy a new one this year? Will there be another new model next year?

Does it have a keyboard yet?

Usually I just hit Crtl-Alt-Del. ;) I'm too old to have an interest in changing the world.

The internet should not be one of those misuses. Videos and all that useless sh*t flying around are frequently disgusting. I avoid flash-based web sites and do not buy their products if possible.

The existence of Flash is an abomination.

The world will still be here, regardless of finance or even extinction of humans.

Here are my choices for the memory multiplier and corresponding RAM speed (MHz). 2.0-760 2.5-900 3.0-1140 (this is also the speed when memory is set to Auto) The SPD value for the 4x1GB DDR2 is 800MHz. The system runs fine with a 2.0 or 2.5 multiplier, but crashes in Auto, because the...

No, Mark. People from SoCal go to schools like Harvard and then move back. :)

Perhaps the person is an alumna or alumnus?

Does the memory ratio make much difference? At the default of 3 it would be too fast, yet it is too slow at 2. Is 2.5 OK, or does a fractional ratio degrade performance compared to using the even number 2? Thanks.

Yes. The retail Seagate drives are now packaged in the plastic suspension type of box, which does not need a Seashell. A few years ago wasn't the retail drive sold in a foam-lined box with the Seashell?

I ended up purchasing a Gigabot P35 board of some kind. Apparently I need a new version of TI because it does not see any of the drive ports. :( However I was able to restore the image to a 15K SCSI drive for temporary use. I'm pretty impressed with the cheap E7200 CPU that was purchased...

No standoffs?

Fuel economy???

How can one judge the efficacy of the various free AV aps?

Heh, maybe mental age. I feel like 70 this week.

Damn, that is a lot of drives for one day. :) I don't have the space for too many drives, so I prefer the more capacious ones. Besides, enough power is consumed and noise produced by only one computer running 6 drives continuously. When I power up the other 3 internal drives and 4-bay external...

New server or new hosting company?

Yeah, well you can buy everything on demand. At my age, I have to consider a purchase for a day or two and sometimes discuss it.

That is too late. I'll buy a few of the 500GB Samsung drives now and then perhaps one of the 7.2K drives for the notebook later on. A 7.2K RPM drive is not desirable in a PSD anyway. I'd rather ghave 600GB @ 5400 RPM.

Great. I purchased 6 1000GB drives in the past two months. Now they are obsolete and too small. :(

Still trying to shill for the GM? Do you think that bashing other automobile companies at every turn enhances your credibility? Please give it a rest. I would not buy a GM if it were the last vehicle on earth.

~10.5" at 600x800 is a good combination. 82-year-olds like them. The devices with larger screens are substantially larger and heavier, not to mention more expensive.

HVAC blower motor died today, now we are practically dead here. :(

Really, how could that happen? :D And yes, the server appears to be hosed.

It is the first one.

Motherboards are tougher than they look. It is not so easy to simply break them in half like a large cracker. :)

One of the top 20 CE stores.

The box is retail. It is the drives that are labeled OEM. I wonder if Seagate labeled too many drives for OEM and then decided to use them for retail purposes.

It is very sluggish tonight. :(

One of them is warranted through June 4, 2013. It has been a while since I bought a retail Seagate drive. The box no longer has a Seashell. The anti-static bag is not heat-sealed, but has a tape label indicating that the contents are made in the Thailand. The retail WD SATA cables do not fit...

I noticed than some of my retail-boxed Seagate hard drives are labeled for OEM distribution and to contact OEM for information or support. Is this normal? The drives were purchased through a major, legit retailer, and the S/N on the drive labels matches those on the boxes (ST310005N1A1AS-RK).

I asked the question because once upon a time I tried to move an installation from an old P4 board to the another board and it would not boot. Yet that was a long time ago and hardware was more different.

So the chipset makes no difference? The system would boot with a P35 board?

Yes. I want 4 RAM slots, PCIe video card slot, and at least 2 PCI and 1 PCIe 1x slots. Parts to use: Antec Santana II case (450W PSU) 4x1GB DDR2 PC5400 PCIe video card (some kind of X1600) T7200 CPU Sony NEC DVD writer (SATA) SATA hard drives TBD (no more than 3) FW PCI card ATA PCI card (if...

For reasons I won't go into, it is highly desirable to rebuild a system from an old image (TI 10). The original installation a few years ago was Win2K on a 975X mainboard with an E67000 CPU. I have enough spare parts, including a cheap CPU (T7200), with the exception of the mainboard. Which...

It looks like a new motherboard is needed. I'll start another thread.

I don't know what you mean by stacked, but the images are obviously sharpened and some NR is applied. Of course that may be fine for printing, etc. I prefer to start resampling with unsharpened or just slightly sharpened images. However, I don't care much about downsampling in general. The...

"Ignore" is a great feature for sure. Some of my favorite forums don't have it though. :(

I haven't had a good pizza in about 15 years. :(

I usually press the power button for 0.5-1 sec. If I press the power switch for 6-8 seconds it will turn off and not turn on again. Sometimes it takes that long for everything in Windows to close, but the C: can get corrupted by forcing a power down.
