Indeed. However, employees of the StorageForum are not eligible to play, which would eliminate the Bartender, the OT:Polizei, Tea (honorary barback), DB (official taste tester), Splash (dishwasher), Giant (deliveries), and Ekaf ami (janitor). Also, CNN is a subsidiary of StorageForum so our...

i is complaining a lot, must mean that he is old, or so me thinks

To much Vindaloo.

Indeed, the Ballarat duo has been busy photographing nature. What sort of distance were you when snapping a portrait of the Brushtail Possum?

What happened to you and me?

IBM has come out with a new commercial which promotes the virtues of Linux. LINUX. THE FUTURE IS OPEN.

I decline.

They did trademark the name. ATA is a derivative of AT, both of which define the physical, electrical, transport, and command protocols for the internal attachment of storage devices to host systems. IDE was WDs way of showing that they moved the drive electronics onboard (although XT/AT/ATA...

SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!

OUCH!

Indeed, they do have a very strong marketing department, hence our wonderful world of ATA drives now go by EIDE. Nonetheless, hard drive failures are very interesting. Tannin has unbelievable success with Samsung, whilst others have the exact opposite experience. You have had dreadful...

WD is using two platters for the latest Raptor design, which in itself is a difficult task, as the dynamics of the spindle, platters, and airflow changes inside the chasis. All of this affects the ability to read and write properly. I'm happy to see that one of the top three HDD manufacturers...

Who did you use SD?

Have you removed and recreated your network connection?

Does this occur when logged in as Administrator?

Although I don't have an answer, as clarification, is this with Windows XP Professional or Home?

The chassis and top plate are two of the most resilient items in that computer case; actually they’re more durable then the case itself. I was more worried about the adhesive used on the tape seal for those drives -- especially on the side where the servo data is written from. But, my worries...

Sorry, Samsung doesn't make SATA drives yet.

Buy WD SATA drives since they have both molex and SATA connectors. :mrgrn:

You might want to check out the SuperMicro SC733T-450 which has hot-swap SATA bays. Plus, there is the Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480W power supply with one SATA connector.

Wow, the tape seal on that WD drive actually held up in that environment?

Very nice. Thanks for the tip Coug.

Tea, have you ever tried using your special tool on the customer?

Wow, Tannin is turning in folding results.

Sydney Morning Herald Online Access: Small Business Owner Tackles Banks By Sam Varghese September 1, 2003 "The owner of a small business in Melbourne has taken up the issue of online accessibility with two financial institutions after he had difficulty using the online banking facilities...

GS The saying, ‘turn the other cheek’ is often misquoted. At Matthew 5:39, Jesus said, “Do not resist him that is wicked; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other also to him.” A slap is an insult, often designed to provoke a fight. By not retaliating when subjected to...

I'll go out on a limb and pick the 49ers.

Hoolie doolie! At the rate Mourn is folding, he's gonna pass me like a frog fart in a funnel cloud!

:bglaugh:

Disti is distributor, because I don't want to accumulate inventory on my end, I'd rather have things drop-shipped from them. When you have time, a demo would be nice.

Thanks for the link to osCommerce Handy. But it seems that osCommerce requires programming on my part, right? I'm also interested in how this would interact with my disti.

I've been looking at the different E-Commerce solutions from my host, pair.com. This can get expensive, you will have to buy a lot from me. :) At least they have options where no programming is required on my end.

Good suggestion energy, especially in regards to fuel economy.

To me, the level of paranoia being expressed about the many different ways the system could fail (PSU, drives) and the data could be lost, warrants the extra cost. However, I personally would try to reduce those fears, and instead build a single system with RAID 1, redundant power supplies for...

Yes, I am keeping these tips in mind.

The Prius looks interesting, I'll have to check out the 2004 version.

So, you're saying that it could happen as slowly as HLM Company becoming an online reseller? :)

Then how about having two identical systems except for the drives. One system has no drives, and the other system has two, in carriers that create a mirrored set. If the drives are okay, but the system is down, pull out the drives, and put them into the other system. If one of the drives...

If the PSU or motherboard fails, you don't need a duplicate copy of the drive, you're just going to move the drive from one system to the other. If the drive or ATA controller fails, all you need is a mirrored set (RAID 1) in the same system for your duplicate information. In order to solve...

Be careful with Mitsubishis. Due to their alliance with Daimler-Chrysler, some Mitsubishis have Chrysler transmissions -- that is a big no-no. Chrysler transmissions have had a very poor reliability rating for the past two decades. This I have experienced first-hand in the past couple of...

Skoda . . . oh sorry, wrong country.

Congratulations Bill.

Very nice.

Nice links guys, thanks.

Nice.
