I might do that. Ok, here's the results from the Patriot drive:

Lots of good information there. Thanks! I wish I had checked a little closer rather than just checking the peak read/write speeds.

Hey all, I just got the "fastest" USB flash drive I could find, according to a few tech reviews: the Patriot Supersonic Rage 2 (128G), and have been very disappointed with linux boot times and writing of small files. Large files are fine, faster than my other drives, but booting into an OS from...

Okay I know this kind of stuff is elementary to ya'll, but it fascinates me. I think my Samsung HD160JJ drive is failing. Not upset, since it's no longer my boot drive. It had been relegated to swap partition and archives. Quite a bit of active use, but nothing important. Anyway, yesterday it...

I know no one seems interested in eye surgery, but there is an alternative to LASIK. I wasn't the greatest candidate for laser surgery myself, so I opted for IOLs (Visian ICLs) and I am very happy with them. The healing time is much faster than with LASIK, the visual clarity is better than I...

Goodness . . . I clicked on that. I think I'll have nightmares for weeks.

Merc, I'm not sure about that. What I've watched of Fox lately, they might as well be called the Trump Network. Glenn and Rush I do listen to regularly, and they've never suggested voting for Hillary. Glenn has said he will not vote for Trump, however. I almost hope the RNC does pull the rug...

It is interesting to see how many Democrats say they won't vote for Hillary, and how many (around 40%, I'm led to believe) of Republicans are Never Trumpers. Should be fun to watch. And more relaxing, since every candidate I actually cared about has now been eliminated. I might vote Libertarian...

Looks like the Trump-cult has prevailed. :(

Good summary. A sorry selection between those two. :(

Is this topic banned? I'm almost surprised there is no discussion on the primary season. Just checking. :) If it's legal to discuss it, I would be interested to know your thoughts.

Howell - rude. Merc, not sure exactly how big their library is. I'm waiting for them to get back to me on some questions.

Hey guys, I need a little direction. I have a friend looking for software for their library, and they sent me this list of features they would like: -enter the title & author of a book and provide a call number for that book automatically -follows the Dewey Decimal Classification System...

I think I *might* have figured out how to do what I want, thanks to this page here: http://james.cridland.net/code/google-calendar.html However, now the whole website is down so I can't do a thing. But it works on my local apache/php server at least. I'm hoping I can use one of the php blocks...

oh yes, that made lots of pretty things! I also figured out how to log into the file manager for the site (I'm not technically the owner of the site, so I didn't know the ftp username and password until a couple of minutes ago). I was able to create the file right on the server.
