Something else WD is a little bit sketchy about is the reason why these new hard drives are being referred to as "green." WD makes these new hard drives out of recycled materials, which rot slowly over time and begin to take on a green-ish appearance due to fungal bloom. The base material...

Nuff said.

It might be Gary, but it's probably just Merc playing around with us or something.

Yep. Pretty stupid. I think he/she/it has about 8 aliases or whatever the hell you call them. Anybody that has that many aliases should be banned from the forum. ...just my 2¢

An Irish woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his help in reviving her husband's libido. "What about trying Viagra? asks the doctor. "Not a chance," she said. "He won't even take an aspirin." "Not a problem," replied the doctor. "Give him an "Irish Viagra." It's when you drop...

I'm sure the marketplace analysts at ATI have been eyeing the coprocessor / accelerator market for a long time. It's not a big market, but it is pretty lucrative. Weitek and a few others did well in the coprocessor market until they were gobbled up. Now you have coprocessor support built...

Clocker you beat me to the keyboard. Trying to draw over 20 amps through 14 gauge Romex is a disaster in waiting. This is one area not to skimp. Proper grounding is also essential. I've been running computers on 208 volts here in the USA for over a decade. Virtually all computers are...

No, they definitely intended it. In addition to Stereolab's obvious Neu! krautrock influence, they *very* frequently dabbled in early '60s elevator / novelty popmusic. The only Walter/Wendy Carlos album that ever liked was "Sonic Seasonings" or maybe "A Clockwork Orange," though I know some...

In comparison to the AGP versions, the all the various PCI Express versions of the P-series graphics cards seem to have the fan and what seems to be a smaller heatsink. I would say -- yes -- they need the fan. But, I haven't definitively heard of them being noisy. An aftermarket heatpipe...

Sure, definitely. I've got essentially all of their early albums (CD) in the wack original packaging, which I do know to be quite rare and ermmm... collectable some 10 ~ 15 years later. I also saw them live -- for free -- in 1989. I don't have any of Stereolab's "later" stuff at all...

I've recently played around with a new 2-U Dell server that was configured with a pair of top-of-the-line 3.0 GHz Xeon 5160 (Core2 "Woodcrest") processors and 4 GB od system RAM (FB-DDR2 RAM). I exercised it by re-loading Windows 2003/R2, then generating huge text files through file...

Another candidate is the Matrox Millennium P650 LP PCIe 64. If you put the full ATX slot bracket on, it will do 2 DVI ports instead of 1 DVI port with the standard low-profile slot bracket. It can provide 1920 x 1200 to either one or two digital monitors (LCD) or 1920 x 1440 two analogue or...

Wow! Not only are we music experts, photography experts, and experts in other fields, we are also hand tool experts! I'd say Ryobi is Home Despot's "house brand" if any brand is their house brand. As far as I know, Home Depot is only in North America. Hopefully, for your sake, Home Depot...

Seagate 250GB SATA Hard Drive - ST3250823AS Hail SATA! While we pride ourselves on our collective thick skin, let it never be said that Woot ignores all complaints. When we’ve sold 250GB hard drives here before, they’ve generally been of the IDE/UDMA variety – the same type most people have...

Why the fuxore are you messing around with America On hoLd?
