RCN here in the suburbs of philly is great. Very fast internet speeds and we had like 2 tv outages in the 5 years I've been here. The installer was very professional but that was over 5 years ago. I never really had to call their customer service. Going to their customer center to return the...

The only caveat I've heard is performance. I use one to store my backup images.

You can format larger partitions with FAT32. Just not with the built in formatter. You need to use a win98 version of format. Or one of the third party fat32 formatters. I think I used this one last time I had to do it. You can also format it from the mac, it doesn't have the partition size...

My thought is to have him contact an outsourcing type company to get some developers in another country working on his problem. A company maybe like http://csscorp.com

As a software developer, I can't see how anyone expects a piece of software that requires constant updates to be free. Even if it was open source. And I haven't looked at AVG or antivir but how do they manage to offer it for free?

wii fit? How do you like it? My wife wants to get one but balks at the price.

If I read it correctly, the 259 card was only dual, to get true quad you needed the 599 card.

Well it took a while for dvd writable drives to come down but they did eventually and now we enjoy 30-50 dvd writable drives. Blue ray may be the same but I think it depends on the licenses the manufacturers have to pay. Also the laser is different. So the main component probably hasn't been...

Timely for me, as I'm moving this summer. I'm not sure where to move to. I didn't really consider moving into philly as my job is in the suburbs not the city.

I'm still of the opinion of wiping machines that are infected. But when I rebuild them I include nod32, without hesitation.

I feel you, here in PA as well. We just got back from an b-day parting at highland orchard. While nice enough, the 15 minute hay ride was almost not enjoyable. And today about 4-6:30 we have snackbar duty at the local little league. And my son has a game at 5pm. Not looking forward to that...

Bah, 4K of bad sectors on one of my samsung HD103UJ's. I'll be running the samsung util on it shortly.

You can see a ghost of the right side of the center part of the building. So it does appear to have been stitched or overlayed or something.

As you may know I have a Nikon D40. I'm going to purchase the Nikon 70-300mm VR lens. Just wanted to run it by you all in case there was something to be concerned about. Mostly I want it to increase the zoom capabilites when taking pictures at the tee ball and soccer games. I realize it...

mac mini?

Spoiler alert though how can you have a spoiler for a movie we already know the plot to? No, no. I guess you have to see the movie to understand. At the end of the movie, he has an excuse all prepared from s.h.i.e.l.d. as a cover story for the iron man versus iron suit thing that destroyed...

Iron man was pretty awesome, especially at the end when he says I am Iron Man. Music was good. Surprisingly good performance by his enemy in the other bot.

I'm definitely seeing in the theater: Iron Man Speed Racer (Imax) taking my 5 year old too. Wall-e Hancock Hulk (edward norton can pull it off right?) A great summer of movies - no doubt. Also Zohan (adam sandler) looks pretty funny but I'll probably rent it.

let's start the culling tomorrow.

maximumpc reviewed it and tested against an SSD, in raid 0 of course. The SSD seems to have kicked butt in 'real world' performance.

If you're considering VPS you may want to review Rad's recent experiences: http://vps.radified.com/ http://mt4.radified.com/2008/02/vps-virtual-private-server-managed-shared-hosting-wiredtree.html He seems to like it but it is more expensive. I'm sure we could cover it easily with donations...

Is it broadcast on AM or FM?

I'm thinking this doesn't scale down though. And might only be useful for stuff like street lights.

This is not a real threat. Like pradeep says, physical access to a machine means it can be rooted. But if you aren't using firewire then by all means disable it.

So my SMP client keeps dying with I/O errors in windows XP. I can't take it anymore. I think what I want to do is boot linux and use that for folding and then boot into windows when I need to do other stuff. I could surf the internet on the linux install and that is what I use it for most of...

Well this case has lots of air holes and the fans blow out not in. So I thought about using black pantyhose or something like that. The case is black so I'd like to keep it from looking horrid on the outside. But I was wondering how I'd secure it in place. I was thinking maybe velcro strips...

More notes... err complaining.... The case gets so dusty. I have to clean the outside constantly. And the inside once a month. There is a lot of airflow but boy howdy, it comes at a price. And this is off the floor on top of the desk unlike the old case. Maybe I just notice it more because...

The onboard intel video can do that supposedly. I bought one of those ADD2 cards that uses the onboard video but gives you two dvi ports. I haven't installed or tested it yet. And I only have one monitor so I couldn't really test the dual part of it. THe card was about $25.

I tried to read your requirements but I couldn't and skipped ahead. Damn internet attention span. Maybe I can revist this thread later and have some useful ideas. But a succinct problem description might help too.

I just used the one from the first post in the linked thread. Now I can't select the optimize for quick removal option in the drive policies. I'm wondering what will happen when I just pull the drive. Or what the process is for swapping the backup drive.

I think I found the original thread you used here. http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?t=444831 Anyway I used the registry file and made the changes. AHCI mode is enabled as well as write cache on the system drive. I left write cache disabled on the backup drive. Next up is to test hot...

Well it doesn't work, that's why. The computer won't boot windows once you switch to AHCI mode. Interesting....

And the files (inf and sys) from the f6 driver floppy are the same as the ones extracted with -a.

hmm why don't you just run the infs from the drivers folder instead of running that registry file?

gosh darn kids gave me strep throat. grumble grumble grumble.

I use Opera for daily use and firefox for development.

congrats and good luck

I thought it was only shipping with certain laptops right now.

Having googled a bit more on obama, clearly I'm picking him over Hillary. I'm filling out the paperwork right now to ensure I can vote on the democratic party in the primary. From what I understand Pennsylvania has a closed primary where you can only vote for what you are registered for, if you...

What is a spudger?

Squirrels get in our trash all the time. But ours are all grey.

The buyout seems very strange. Though some predicted it long ago. The associated consolidation of jobs in the IT sector is what worries me more. Of the big guys your choices are Microsoft, Apple or Google. Or is that inaccurate?

Where was he sleeping before? In a bassinet?

Regarding the GT model, it disappeared from corsair's website so I asked about it a couple days ago and got the following reply.

I'm regularly scandisking my drives and so far no bad sectors. I'm betting this isn't a real problem. But I'd like confirmation from samsung either way.

I don't know of anyone with a ups that doesn't use it 24x7.

I think we need more taxes to get that government debt down. I'm totally against this tax relief/economic stimulus bill going through congress. And the bailout of any mortgage suckers. Why not Hillary? I'll vote for the democratic candidate probably whoever it ends up being. Hillary has the...

You could make your own pizza merc. We do that. We just got one of those stone things from pampered chef. Then we buy frozen pizza dough in the food store, some shredded cheese and some pizza sauce. I like the tombstone stuff. Add toppings to your tastes. I personally like bacon or...

That is impressive Chewy. I took assembler (mips) in college (Temple Univesity). I was probably the best in the class and it was interesting. But coding anything complex in assemlber must involve some crazy state juggling in your head while you are programming.

Do you all really think the economy is that bad? I just see a housing market correction and a government in the long tail of a war and some uneasiness over the impending US elections. The housing market correction was long overdue. And the uneasiness over the elections is to be expected...
