Presumably they are more concerned that the public understands the common name of the weapon, than using the proper name.

Nothing much is happening, though I'm not in the city.

March is almost over and there are no Samsung M6 500gb drives yet to be found.

How can a dead president award anybody a medal? :D

It seems like a load of marketing BS. What happens when the crappy flash drive fails? How many different formats would there be? How does one play all the DVD and BD disks already owned?

Most old people don't walk backwards on the stairs, so forward would be the best choice when confused. ;)

Why does the formatting always stop at 99%?

That depends on your definition of just in time. A 320GB flash drive will be exceedingly expensive for a while. :(

I avoid driving at night so I hope that does not happen.

I don't often drive at night, so two headlights are enough for me. :)

...or many HID and other arc applications such as search/floodlights, projection lights, etc.

I believe DD is using a normal computer, not a Mac.

Why does the write speed suck — the RAID controller?

Mental illness is humorous to you?

Yes. It is a continual struggle to load pages.

KR is one of the worst sources of information and commentary. His followers remind me of cult fools. ;) And yes, the horrid photo demonstrates swing rather than tilt.

It is acting up again today.

RIP ACC. :cry: 40-something years ago he opened my mind more than any drug would have.

Bah, it is probably noisy and uncomfortable on the city streets.

IME Canon only advertizes the P&S or cheapie Rebel DSLRs on TV. The better bodies are advertized in print, but hardly worth

I need my Cardbus slot and Firewire ports also. :) If someone breaks in and attacks me, they can have my computers, ports and all. ;) I don't care about the work notebook. It is not my problem and truly sucks in any case.

I would not particularly need an SATA flash HD for the OS/Apps, since all my applications load in 5 seconds or less as it is. The page file, PTG and other temp files, and 2nd scratch disk could always use some improvement. Obviously a practical flash array can't match >1GB/sec. of my RAM...

I recently purchased a Japanese notebook that came with Vista Business pre-installed. Restoration disks for both XPP and Vista Business were included at no extra charge. However, I'm not sure about the Chinese brands. My first experience with Vista was pretty bad, but not as bad as I had...

Judging by the 1Ds MK III, I would not expect anything spectacular from a theoretical 5D II. High ISO performance may be a stop better, but the boosted ISOs of the newer DSLRs are video ugly. June would be an odd time for Canon. New DSLR introductions are traditionally at PMA or late summer...

So it takes three of those drives to get good performance? How well does one drive work?

What are the sustained write speeds?

The names are sillier yet. The kids have nothing else to do? :)

Are there any non-RAID SAS controllers for a single drive that don't cost a fortune?

Perhaps I'm being paranoid, but lately there are many new members with suspicious names. ;)

It is interesting, but will a 3-platter 9.5 mm configuration be reliable? Should I soon upgrade the "old" 320GB drive?

Thanks. The UPS is a Conext 900 AVR which originally had an APS battery installed. After a full charge the runs times are 3.6 min. to the urgent beeping (low battery) and 5.3 minutes to cutoff. I suppose that is a reasonable drain. A longer run time would require a larger UPS and this one is...

Yes, of course. My question is: What is a reasonable compromise for the health and longevity of the UPS/battery or does it make little difference?

Well that only worked for a couple of days. :( I bought a replacement battery locally. However, it does not seem to run very long. I may have too many devices plugged in compared to few years ago. What should the run time be for a UPS under load? Thanks.

The beeping every few hours is driving me nuts. :( I closed the master bedroom door and the computer room door last night around 2AM. Thanks. I'll try discharging and then recharging the UPS.

I question whether the battery is truly defective. Is it possible that something is wrong with the UPS? I hesitate to get another battery. It is a major hassle to dispose of batteries since it would be a 25 mile drive a least.

Last night the red "replace battery" LED illuminated on the UPS connected to my main computer system. :( I removed the battery and it appears to be fine, i.e., voltages are normal, no physical indications of failure, nor heat were observed. I reinstalled the battery and pulled the cable out of...

For a moment I thought the thread was spam for an ED treatment. :)

Well it works fine for me, despite any test results.

I recently received personal videos that were converted from HD to DVDs. They were originally taped in a wide-screen format, but display full sized, i.e. squeezed to 4:3 format. Is there some way to edit the files to make the videos display in a normal proportion in a letterbox?

Yes.

One could consider the error to be a Freudian slip. Nevertheless, a BT mouse is not a critical item, so it would go in the checked luggage. I carry this mouse for general use. Mice don't get much smaller, and it works well. ;)

I plan to buy a Bluetooth mouth for the laptop to free up a USB port. How well do they work, and which are the better models? I'm not seeking fancy features, just basic functionality and a small size. Do they require drivers? Thank you.

DPP and NX both work in XP and even 2000 for the time being. I still have PS 6.0 on the current notebook. ;) Perhaps I'll put CS2 on the new one if it isn't hopelessly slow.

Now the price is listed at Amazon.

I can't see sh*t tonight and there is some rain.

Is the server in the Atlantic ocean by any chance, judging by the time zone?

I'll have to restore my avatar. That one was long ago, perhaps before David was born. :p

Sorry. The site is very slow today for me and the flood control does not function. :(
