Maybe they just ship the leather

I bought that sata drive carrier thing from granite digital. I wasn't 100% pleased. It had what looked like a used contact on the back. See Pictures. And the mating of the internal sata data connection is not in as far as I'd like. And there is no drive activity indication, both lights are on...

Anybody got a spare parallel port PCI card lying around? I've got a relative with a shiny new btx based pc with no parallel port and an old hp laserjet 3.

All laser printers have a burning type smell, especially if they are in a dusty environment. They have to melt the dry ink in the toner cartridge, correct?

Today from work it is varying between 120 - 140KB/sec. tracert and pathping from here though don't give me anything. (request timed out)

I averaged around 850KB/sec. RCN in Drexel Hill, PA. At work yesterday it was dog slow but so was everything else, like 20KB/sec anyway your tracert or pathping Tracing route to handruin.com [69.57.180.99] over a maximum of 30 hops: 0 continuum-x2.cable.rcn.com [192.168.0.5] 1...

Can you tell me in plain English or pseudo code what you are trying to do? I think you are trying to run that if statement for each iteration of the for statement. But I don't think that is what is happening. Your do ends on the first line I think.

It is very good to hear from you. I'm sorry your father died. I can only express heartfelt condolences. I cannot imagine what losing a parent is like. I wish you good luck with your remodeling project.

We used to use ftp batch files at work to deploy executables to application servers. I believe the username and password had to be in the file itself and you had to use a switch like -p or something. looking up the command line options in my xp cmd shell gives me: FTP [-v] [-d] [-i] [-n] [-g]...

Someone told me the key to marriage is to make the decision to love that person every day. When you stop making that decision daily, you will start drifting apart. I've been with my wife since high school. About 15 years and we've been married for 7. I don't think anyone should get married...

Nevermind, the product page at hasbro says: Pony's maximum weight limit is 80 lbs./36kg. I guess they lied on the show about 200lbs.

Link for the pony. $300 seems reasonable, we only need 20 from 15 people. Who's in?

I was watching HGTV the other day as they had a bunch of holiday gift guides. In the toy one there was a robotic pony that you could sit on (up to 200 lbs). It moved its head and did a bunch of other stuff. I don't think it let you ride it though, just sit on it. I think I know what we should...

I think I'll just wait and see what comes out next year. The Fuji F30 looks promising though. Just add a longer zoom and some better daylight shots.

I'm thinking about a new camera for xmas and stumbled upon the Panasonic DMC-TZ1. The link is to the Digital Photography Review (dpreview.com) review. Is there anything else like this camera with the 10x optical zoom in a compact format? When do you think the new revisions to this model will...

I don't think it is a good price.... but that doesn't matter during a woot-off. There are crazy people. p.s. In the comments for one the items I found this site www.playthelamegame.com Interesting puzzles. I stopped after level 3.

WD Raptor 10K RPM 80GB refurbished is up now for $90.

I saw that earlier but refrained from watching it today, had to get some work done.

If I had to support outlook I'd probably agree with Merc. As it is, I only have to use it... to connect to an exchange server on the other side of the USA. Waiting 5 minutes for outlook to close is normal for me. Waiting 10 for it to start and download my inbox is normal for me. Sometime I...

Moral of the story, I think you just have a bit of bad luck there Greg.

CR2032 it was and problem solved. Thanks.

Yes, he positively contributes to some threads. I just think he likes forum drama too much. I get my drama fix from TV. How about Evanescence latest, "Open Door"? Anybody listen to that?

Interesting website design. This would probably block only viruses and such that destroy documents. The ones that hook themselves into windows executables and execute the writes won't be detected I would guess.

udaman, you are like obsessed with SR. Time to reconsider your time commitments. Back to the music topic.... Anybody listen to the new Breaking Benjamin - Phobia? I think it rocks.

POS = point of sale And I think merc is correct too. Anyway most of the time the gas pump authorizes your card by putting a 1 dollar charge on it. Later after the transaction is complete the full amount goes in. You can look online and see if the credit card has any charges yet. My guess is...

It isn't about CPU time with printing in a separate thread. It is about responsiveness of the main application. Printing involves communication with another device and the delays and interrupt handling that comes with that. Kind of like handling I/O to the hard drive in a separate thread.

Unplug the network cable?

I think this is what happens but maybe somebody can clarify. When you boot from a drive it isn't windows supporting it, it is the bios. Further it starts in like a backwards compatible mode I think. Think DOS mode. The bios reads the boot image on the install cd. This boot image is usually...

If you are having problems searching for content, get a tivo. You can season pass the stuff you actually watch and you won't miss a show (unless the networks pull a change the time at the last minute shit). It'll automatically record suggestions. Then you can thumbs up or thumbs down the...

yes it was, thanks

Take a picture of the motherboard and post it. Maybe we can locate the battery.

Yes you said so before when I was looking for one and decided on a cheap PATA one. But I'll definitely consider them now. Heck I would buy it now but the credit bill this month is a bit high already... dual tuner tivo :) ... so maybe I'll wait till next month to buy it.

Well I got the switch yesterday and it does what I want. Upsamples to svideo. It also automatically switches between inputs which is nice. Problems solved, yippee. Now I have this other switch which is useless to me... It cost like $40 dollars though. I figure it was worth about $5. I...

Oh and AMD just finished the acquisition of ATI.

Good to see you Probably some are more qualified then me to make the state of the union but the state is as follows. CPU makers are going towards multi-core chips not just dual and the focus on clock speed isn't there. The focus now is on power consumption and a metric of performance per...

Interesting conclusion, the author himself isn't 'converted'.

I knew the drives where small when I bought them but I needed something and couldn't talk the wife into buying what I wanted so.... I'm leaning towards A as this is probably a temporary solution anyway. It is double the space I have now. It should take me a while to fill that. I'll have to...

So I got two 250GB SATA drives (7200.8) from woot. I have existing in the computer: 1. 36GB fujitsu 15k RPM scsi drive (18GB used or so) 2. 120GB maxtor PATA drive used for data (110GB out of 120GB used) 3. 160GB seagate PATA used for backups (in removable tray) 4. 30GB IBM 75GXP (linux which...

classical music?

okay send the other 740GB to me ;)

The red ones are milwaukee I think

I've heard the red ones are the ones to get. I don't know the brand name. I'd suggest a corded one if it is your only one.

Well okay then

Well I think the only difference between the 1220 and the 2032 and others like the 2025 are not the size but the maximum amps or in this case miliamps. So I think you can use a 2032 in something that takes a 1220 but if you used a 1220 in something that takes a 2032 it would not have enough...

So I've got to replace a bios battery in an HP Pavilion 540n. I think practically all motherboards these days and the past x years are all the same 3V lithium battery, correct? I don't want to have to open the machine once to get the battery information and another to install it. They've got...

SQL injection is difficult to protect against and often overlooked. It is so easy to write code that uses variables directly in a sql statement. Much more code is required to do it right than not. It is worse with a public database schema like a bulletin board. You've given them the blueprint.

I got two ... couldn't help myself.

Eerie... the seagate drive just appeared for 49.99.

And another woot off has begun! I suspected there would be a woot-off. There was a hint in the last blog entry and they sent out a newsletter (first one) that had a hint the size of a building. Here's hoping they offer the seagate drives again for cheap.
