I ordered one of these in red and green to test out. It already has the battery hookup.

Well correct me if I'm wrong but a 12V strip would required 8 AA which are 1.5V each, correct? That's a lot of batteries to fit into the handle. I was thinking more like 4 AA for 6V. So I'm not really finding 6V LED strip lights.

http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/01/bitrot-and-atomic-cows-inside-next-gen-filesystems/ I haven't read through it but it looks to be good.

So I have this group of kids that I want to do this build your own lightsaber project with. I found instructions online here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-your-own-lightsaber/ Then I backtracked that to more recent instructions from the group that originally made them...

There is Helium which doesn't require root. But I don't think it backs up what you want backed up. It just backs up applications and their data.

Okay so if I buy a windows 8 license, can I use that for installing windows 7? Linux is probably a non-starter, too much muscle memory so to speak. While primary functionality is web browsing and her e-mail is in the cloud, she does do some other stuff with some ms type software.

So mom's got a Athlon 64 X2 4000+ based Dell E521 with 2GB of RAM that I bought her back in 2007. As XP support is going away, I'm thinking I should upgrade the OS. So which MS OS offering should I buy? The windows 8 upgrade seems to be about $95. I don't have windows 8 on my own computers...

treacly... I learned a new word today.

I thought the pacing was better. I felt the Fury seen was not needed. I'd rate it higher than the premier.

I thought the episode pacing at times was too quick especially with the wrap up and ramp up. And I had no idea what the tech guy was saying half the time. I couldn't hear it. I guess he was talking to himself or something. Regarding Tahiti: "He can never know"

Don't you just boot into recovery, add an admin level account, login with that and reset the other accounts password?

I have very few widgets. Just the stock htc one with clock and weather. And the htc one that looks like power toggles mentioned above. Then one for Audio Control that lets me switch audio profiles easily, even though they are already on a schedule. For a calendar I use Jorte calendar control...

Yes the new samsung 840 evo looks tempting even though it is 19nm TLC nand.

I use that what's new as my bookmark so I didn't notice any changes at all.

Well because I have programdata/profiles on D: I had some sort of issue when I swapped the drives and tried to logon. Error indicated logon service was unable to logon. I booted into safe mode and ran disk management and changed the drive letter to D: from J:. Still no go. I had to follow...

Got the drives. The first two formatted fine, though it takes many hours. For the backup drive I just copied the backup image to the new volume. Then removed the backup drive and replaced with the new drive and then changed the drive letter in disk management. No problems. Then I went to...

I asked amazon to match the gold box price from yesterday for the 7200.14 drive of 109.99 and they did. So I got three for that price. Here's hoping I don't have to RMA any of them for DOA.

There are also the Hitachi 7K4000 models but they seem like double the price. What's the deal with that?

I've only restored individual files. And I've complained before about the upload speeds to them. They have a service where they'll send you a hard drive. I think for actually restoring everything, I'd pick that. I look at it as a second level of backup after my local disk imaging.

Any recommendations on the drives that are out there for 3TB or greater? I'm looking to buy three, one for data, one for the backup destination and one to leave on the shelf as a hot spare. So I see Toshiba DT01ACA300, Seagate barracuda 7200.14 ST3000DM001, and Western Digital Green WD25EZRX...

Considering 3TB drives anyone know if the gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R supports them? I'm guessing not?

I believe the reviews I read indicated it is cheap because it doesn't include any functionality beyond having inputs and displaying them. So no wifi or whatever software is loaded. It is just a TV in the older sense. I'm not even sure what it allows you to configure.

The bluetooth in my 2012 subaru is fine from a sound quality perspective. But it absolutely sucks from a manage and call phone numbers perspective. Voice control is absolutely painful. We bought an aftermarket radio with bluetooth for our older subaru and it isn't even fine from a sound quality...

Got the D600 and a couple fast 16GB cards. Less pictures than I thought, I'll have to buy some cheaper but bigger SD cards. These are some large raw files. Need to upgrade to lightroom 4 to get support for the D600 raws. Lightroom still the way to go? What lens should I go for next? I'm...

Found the firewire, unplugged it.

Nevermind, just read the manual again and it is the audio block and then individual wires. Which leads to the question of where the firewire connector is? And if plugging it into a usb header was a bad thing.

It is all just a bunch of individual wires, not a block with a pin filled in. It's a P160 which has a firewire and then individual front audio connectors. I didn't connect them, not a big deal.

Yes that is exactly what I meant. My previous motherboard included a couple of these with it. I did find that the motherboard has a couple usb2 headers and I hooked those older ones up. But there seemed to be no support for them in the case on the tab side so I took them out. Honestly in...

So this board has usb3 headers. But I've got nothing to attach to them. They sell ones that take an expansion slot like I had with the previous motherboard? And the real question, the old usb2 headers won't work on the usb3 headers, correct?

So a computer motherboard died. No video, some bad looking caps but everything seems to get power. Maybe bad video card. Anyway it was old and time to replace. And they wanted an inexpensive replacement but with the SSD. So I picked out these parts. Let me know the good / bad. Also what...

So I've got about 1600 saved for a new body. They just released the details of the D7100. It looks pretty good except the buffer size is only like 7 shots in raw so only like 1 second of shooting. So I'm considering the D600 refurbs that you can but for $1600 and just using that in crop mode...

There is a ton of information on dslreports.com Here is a FAQ on the various configuration options. http://www.dslreports.com/faq/16077

Basic photo editing? - picasa More advanced - gimp or paint.net

I think he needs to get a proper offsite or cloud backup of the data first. Then I'd say a synology unit for the actual storage along with a proper backup plan.

Well I pay for extra storage, so if they rolled that into the $50 and gave me more than one user maybe I'd pay. I only need 4 users but 10 for $50/year is more like it for a non-business.

I think they are talking about the chipset in your PC not in your external enclosure. The host controller needs to support the port multiplication feature the enclosure controller uses.

Yes but I thought maybe someone had his address and we could check if that was still without power or in the hard hit area. I had his name/address some years ago but can't seem to locate it now. Maybe a phone number to call.

Election day is november 6th this year (always the first tuesday in november)

I'm getting concerned regarding jtr, I don't think he's logged in since 10/27. Anybody been in contact with him?

Checking in, no power loss, no trees down. But others in the area are without power.

I'm in Exton PA so close to Bozo. Still have power, still working.

So you're remote desktop'd into the vm and it still doesn't work? Or is this not windows?

lookout has a find my phone feature. So you install lookout on your phone and you can find it via logging in to the web page. It shows your location on a google maps page.

I tested ftp to dreamhost with a roughly 1GB file. It reported 1158KB/s. it took 16 minutes

I've only tested with speedtest.net which gives me the 25 number or slightly lower/higher. I suppose I should test uploading somewhere else.

I've started using crashplan as well. But I'm unhappy with the speed of the upload. My backup image that I create with acronis trueimage is about 600GB and I normally regenerate that every two weeks. It has taken two months and it still isn't fully uploaded. By my calculations with my upload...

I use doubletwist when it isn't being screwy and not seeing my music. I actually had to use it as it was one of the only ones that supported the ogg format my music is in. I don't use the airsync. I buy music only like once or twice a year. So there is no syncing. Just ripping it and...

I think this is the link

Yes it looks like that. So you still make calls through the stock radio, did you address how to select contacts to dial? I was hoping to use one of the various car dock apps to make dialing contacts easier. And possibly using the voice recognition in the nexus 7 rather than the head unit.

I saw a video where they used a separate little box for the equalizer and volume control. I don't think I'd need that but would probably consider it. I also don't know how I'd get the steering wheel controls to work. I see the ease of just leaving the stock radio in there. But I think it...
