Drive Angry: Makes Tarentino seem tame. Beautiful cars, Cage playing a guy back from the dead, to avenge his daughter's death. Amber Heard is good as Cage's companion, William Fichtner steals the show as the acountant. Enough nudity and sex to keep Mercutio happy, well, maybe not that much...

Hi If you are in Kali, or can work on data programing, PG&E is trying to organize their data, and, they are getting fined a LOT of money, so they are willing to pay a lot of money to someone that can organize their document mess. I believe one of the subcontractors is a company called...

Movie guys are like little kids with a new gimic/toy. You are right, that the 3D stuff sacrifices overall depth, and quality, just to screw up your depth perception.

The graphics, at least bluray on small screens are truly incredible. Disney has been doing it well, and I just watched most of Dorian Grey, and that was reasonably well done, if not great.

IIRC, SCSI drives shut off at around 150 degrees. I was trying to transfer stuff off one, and, the file transfer failed due to excessive heat. The drive, after it cooled off, completed the transfer, provided it had a fan blowing on it. It was a loose drive, out of a housing, and, it was the...

I think the drive was defective, maybe the house is defective, or both. I've got a USB toaster that moves stuff at about the same rate. The drive was returned. I can't see having a drive in a housing at 25% over it's designed maximum temperature, and, the drive isn't exactly known for...

Battlefield LA OK to good Kind of exactly what you would expect in a invaded by aliens in LA movie, except the aliens didn't have boob jobs.;-) I liked it. Got into it emotionally, showing the bond developed by life threatening situations, and dealing with them as a group. Good stuff.

True Grit: Not bad Watched True Grit. Disc had random stops, but, the dialogue of the movie was well done, and, the cruel nature of the wild was captured well. Weird role for Matt Damon. Bridges was better then I thought he would be. Girl stole the show.

Thanks Time. My point is that the drive or the enclosure are both expensive, poorly made, and poorly designed. If you are correct, then it is working at slow USB 3 speeds. My tests were done using Windows, moving a 400 MB file. It started faster, then slowed down.

It's not cheap. 130 bucks, means the drive is around 80 bucks and the housing costs 50 bucks???? That's absurd without a bit of a discount. With discount, the housing costs 20 bucks, and, it's not worth anything.

Not only did it have a sticker that says USB 3, it also has a USB 3 cable end. They are setting their own products up to fail with a POS housing. No excuse, so they must be doing this for a reason. Any ideas why one would design your own product to fail?

I was looking for an external backup drive for Acronis, and, my local Costco Had the Seagate Replica, 2 TB drive, with backup software, for 99.00. I bought it, thinking it would work at USB 3, at least with what was on the box. No joy. USB 2, 35 MB/sec. It gets better. 7 Ultimate can't format...

Sorry typo. Cat scratching leg... No need: We've got Merc...;-) On the otherhand, that might be a good, second nic for him...

We don't let our cat outside. Cats loose about 1/2 their lives when allowed outside, and, your vet bills double, or more. For example, somewhere in her very brief trips on the porch, or, perhaps we brought one in, thought I haven't had a flea bite in years, she managed to get a flea. She then...

I bought a really nice fountain, with charcoal filter, etc. for my cat to drink out of. She wouldn't touch it, instead going in and drinking from the sink, shower, anything else. Cheap date she is.

OK: New motherboard was put in. Worked INCREDIBLY WELL for the install of XP, boots in 45 seconds from black to working, using the Vertex turbo. After that, wouldn't go to boot screen at all, intermitent, then work, boot, and freeze. I now think I've got two good motherboards, and one bad...

Fry's restocked prices are so high that it's not worth buying a used item, vs. a new one... I much prefer frys to Best buy.

DD: This situation seems not to support that theory. CT is saying that 939 motherboards, die early, 5-6 years, vs. 12 for the Supermirco X5DA8 I'm typing this on. Capacitors, design, whatever, the CPU is fine, I think. From my observations, the thermal paste application is near perfect, and...

I forgot who I was asking... This is why I like server quality stuff. I've never heard someone say the motherboards designed for Intel Xeons won't last but 5-6 years before dying. There is really no reason for upgrading this machine. It plays movies, bluray movies, just fine. It plays some old...

I'm on my 4th or 5th 27" Samsung Monitor. So far, at Costco the Price has dropped from 320 to 259.00. This last one P2770 with 1ms is fine for a second monitor. Had a scare at Costco today. The entire shelf was filled with generation 3 A350 27" monitors, except for one. The A350 had no price...

I'm barking up the same tree. GA-K8N Pro-SLI is likely the culprit. No boot, no video when it did boot, and video card was checked. Had two GA-K8N Pro-SLI builds go out within months of each other. Since Cougtek is usually on the money, do I buy another board? GA-K8N Pro-SLI I could find...

Me too!;-)

My mistakes with women in the 80's was incredible. The list of mistakes I made is truly absurd. Diane Lee Hsu is the tip of the iceberg...

I was such a dog. At UCSC, Tandy Beal had a dance class. Girls who danced their entire lives all wanted to be in that class. Since my mother had been a modern dancer, and, I have a weakness for incredibly fit, flexible women, I decided to try and get into the class, with little dance...

Diane head shot and backing One wife: Another:

CT: Got that here. I guess anyone that uses raid arrays on Macs, 12 years ago deserves it;-) Plus, this idiot is a bit clock work orange. You'd never believe it, unless it happened to you. On the otherhand, I had Diane Hsu, so eat your heart out;-) S

Who needs an excuse? Watch Pacific Heights sometime. Turns out even if you know someone for a long time, you may not REALLY know them. Big difference between putting up with random weird behavior, and, being around it all the time, and, seeing it up close and personal. I will say there were...

Ahh, the ending chapter in this story. The guy moved out, to move in with his drug dealer friend in Oakland. I didn't mention he got high on cocaine, and, I woke up to a house filled with smoke, 5am, and, the smoke alarm going off. He burned himself, really bad, trying to take the flaming...

I just had a similar experience. I was walking up a very steep hill, in complete umpire gear, and, I was amazed how winded I was. I find that without proper stretching and warmup, if you just jump into something, you can find that the initial experience is somewhat like you are working against...

As usual, David has found a neat item. Can't wait for the review. GS

I was underwhelmed by David's X-25 equipped netbook. If that was a huge improvement, then I would dump the netbook, and buy something else.

Jumpster is in the other room, talking. I figure she wants to be brushed. I ignore her. She comes in, jumps on my lap and then on to my desk. I feed her some treats. Then she goes to my coffee cup, and pretends like she wants to drink from it. Then, when that doesn't work, she paws the coffee...

Biking is a specific set of muscles, and, type of endurance. Nice bike, by the way. Keep it up, and good luck.

That maybe true, but, it's a common development platform, an OS the masses are used to, and all of what you said;-) Let's not forget, they are expensive, as well. Wonder how much MSFT gets for the OS on those tablets?

I'm happy with what I've got: Nikon D50, made in China I think. Don't see much difference between that, Canon, and any of the others these days. Telephoto zoom is up to around 400MM, IIRC, not really enough for good surf work, though I haven't tried it, much. Also came with a 35-150MM zoom...

Tradition at Bells for the winner. Don't know how real but, the guys do it too. The winner is painted up, and they play a horn, IIRC.

"Leave a Message" Shot mainly in the tropics: Pro women top surfers. Great moves, beautiful women, tropical incredible beauty, moving women's surfing to another level. Incredible... You really need to see this movie. ...

"52" plasma with 3d for $800? Watch out, they might be 720p panels. Pony up for 1080p. " They are 1080, but out of stock. LCD/LED are dropping the prices big time on the plasmas. They are cool, use little energy, and weigh a ton. I'm not really convinced LED edgelit is really that great yet...

I was at Costco today and learned a bit. The lady was thrilled to death with the Panasonic 50 inch Plasma for about 649., and the 52 inch with 3D support for about 800.00 She argued the refresh rate was so very fast, faster then 120hz, and the screen was pretty much unbreakable. Also, she...

Odd that you pick an absolute fanatic for SSD's, who wouldn't care if they failed every 12 months, he'd still use them:confused:? Have to check out the new model he recommends...

Are they faster? They are using ATTO for speed results, and, I wonder about that accuracy...

Running a mail server,demo server, development server, 3 VMS, and exchange server.

Hi If you wanted a server box to run VM, using 64 bit, 7 Ultimate, and probably VMware, yet didn't want to add the straw to the camel's back on your PG&E bill, how would you configure the machine to be both fast, yet have limited electricity usage? Inexpensive would be good, as well, but I think...

Saw Fast Five in a regular theatre, with a good sound system. EXCELLENT movie. Look forward to seeing it on my home system. Seems the projection lacks a bit in resolution. Characters and story lines are really well developed, and fun after 10 years, 5 movies.
