Chewy509: Your use looks a bit like mine. I hated my Samsung, sold it on ebay for a decent price, and went with a Nokia 5230 for 119.00 from Costco. Here is why I like the Nokia: I don't want to spend a price fixed 30 dollars a month for a smart phone data plan. My provider offers an unlimited...

A major factor in the decision to buy the Heresy's was the size of the apartment, and the location. If you look at where the pier ends in this picture, you can see my old house. I had the down stairs, and, it was built like a pillbox, with dirt, cement, etc. at the back, and, the speakers faced...

I guess that's the elephant in the room for me. I can't hear certain frequencies, and things. A clock ticking. One ear channel is 50% closed, due to cold water making the bone grow over the channel, and, the constant high pitched whistle can't be good for my ears, either. Perhaps now they can...

What steps did you take to find out which speakers you favor? What stores did you go to? We've got a bright group here, and, I'm wondering what you decided on for home stereo, home theatre, computer speakers? I use Klipsch 5.1's for the Beast. Decent inexpensive setup, and, I only blew the...

What steps did you take to find out which speakers you favor? What stores did you go to?

Forgot to mention most of our big speaker places, or system places are gone, victims of the economy.

"I don't express the same argument method as Mercutio, but I can say that I never equate loudness to greatness in terms of music fidelity. In other words, I don't care that it's 12,000 watts if the sound coming out sounds like two butt checks flapping together. You shouldn't even need a large...

I guess you need to get out and listen to Klipsch speakers, in particular their high end, old school stuff, not their new computer stuff. Yes, the bass actually can be felt in the lobby. The sound is just very loud, totally filling, and pretty amazing. Yes the movie industry is obsessed with...

Saw Thor last night, Imax 3D. I'd like to see the movie in two D, since I found the 3D best only for brief periods. Seems you get out of focus background that was probably incredible in 2D, for two guys that seem to be fighting right in front of you. The Destroyer was very well done. Loki, I...

Thanks. The data involved is MASSIVE. If it's not bullshit, it's one of the biggest companies in Kalifornia, and, their document management. So far, I have nothing to indicate that this isn't a scam, but, it might be I'm just super skeptical, after my last room....ass. To be real, the...

Apparently the plan is to use Zamanda as a backup system, and use Virtual servers, on one main machine. http://www.zmanda.com/vmware-backup.html?gclid=CJbpic7E0qgCFQwFbAoddiUGiA Reminds me of David's stuff.

Apparently the projects require the use of 64 bit Exchange Server. Screwy as this may sound: Is it possible to run a 64 bit OS on VMWare, when the host machine is 32 bit? I ran 64 bit XP on my machine, but, it's got 7 Ultimate 64 bit as a base.

Thank you for the suggestions. Using the drive on a 64 bit OS, in VM was what I first thought of when the problem was brought to me. Since my experience with VM's has been on equipment not really server designed, drivers were a problem, for the simplest of things: USB, DVD drives, etc. I'll...

Hi I have a new roommate that does software development. He's done a ton of work on a 32 bit Vista laptop for a medical company, and, needs to clone the drive, and install it in a desktop machine. What cloning software would work, and, is there any way to move from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64...

I love this place. Where else can we go from a router, to a rooter, and not have the thread closed? ;-)

Newegg: 379.00 i3, FAST, Thinkpad edge Missed it: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834246093&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL042911&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL042911-_-EMC-042911-Index-_-LaptopsNotebooks-_-34246093-L07B

Hi David I'm looking for a portable, fast laptop, like the IBM 201. If you have one used, you want to move, let me know. I have a software guy that needs a desktop, so likewise, if you have something to move, let me know. I'll present it to him, and see if he's up for it. Thanks Greg Santilli

Sale time: http://shoplenovo.i2.com/

Also what about these? http://outlet.lenovo.com/laptops/ideapad/0894xf4.html Seems to have a small form factor, decent price, and excellent processor.

What is the difference between the essential line, and the Thinkpad line?

It's a lot of money for a tiny drive. I did a similar thing, buying two Kingspec 32 gig PATA drives. One works fine, runs aroun 70 MB/sec reads. The other really sucks, and, I'm thinking of taking it apart to find out if it's one of those Chinese drives with a real 4 gigs of memory, and two...

Liam: My home theatre PC is pretty close to that: AMD 64 3200+, 2 gigs of ram, XP Nvidia 9600GT, and boots from a Velociraptor as well. Funny thing was I tried running 64 bit windows, and had all kinds of driver problems with it, so went from an SSD with 64 bit, that didn't have drivers for...

Back to Lenovo. Have a look at how many of their books ship with 32 bit Windows 7? What is the upgrade cost to go from 32 bit to 64 bit Windows 7?

It's been awhile, but, I did get to try David's X-25e powered netbook. If I'm underwhelmed by that, I'm sure not dropping 300-500 dollars for one.

My page showed one available. I went through the entire checkout process, and, it came up invalid product code. Went back to the page, and, it showed 0 inventory. By the way, I can't format the replacement SSD anymore, from Vertex.

If price is an issue, what about this: http://outlet.lenovo.com/laptops/thinkpad/2598rz1.html I'm considering it, just to be able to move to SATA, even though it's pretty much sideways, processor speed wise, and most everything else, from the CF-51.

Bells Beach Contest: One of the best ever. Bells was great, and Sally Fitz was on fire: http://www.surfline.com/video/contests/rip-curl-pro-bells-2011-womens-finals-highlights_54606 Plus Layne Beachley, someone I've talked to when she was Ken Bradshaw's girlfriend, was the announcer, or one...

Well, it's the night before Easter, and Greg doesn't have work tomorrow. Went shopping, bought a 1/2 pound of Goose pate, expecting the cat to eat half. She only had a bite. I'm eating that with 2008 Mt. Eden Estate Pinot Noir, still my favorite Pinot Noir, after 30 years. It's from Saratoga...

X-25E was FAR too expensive. What's the warranty on the X-25M? 5 years. Considering the cost, I might well be dead before the drive wears out. If one breaks, I've kind of learned my lesson that even though you get huge through put, there is a point where bench marks are the only thing that can...

Lunar: I am similarly pleased with the X-25 M's.

Yes, it would look cool. It would probably not require water/oil changes, and cleaning the tank as often;-) Wonder if the standard pumps would work if they pumped mineral oil? ..............................................................................................0 Jumpster just typed...

Anyone tried Altec Lansings lately?

Guy at costco reminded me that the TV doesn't have the costco standard return policy, and, if it breaks, I'm SOL. So, I went with the Syncmaster P2770 27", and while it's not really the right size, if the 37" breaks, I could use it as a primary monitor without much problem.

Klipsch makes a LOT of different speakers, some better then others. I listened to the subs, and the 12" was my favorite, value sound wise, even over the 14 and bigger. The Hereseys are pretty incredible speakers, and, with a powerful amp, they fill in and give a much broader range, then with a...

Altec Lansing used software to enable sound, and, yes, they connected by USB and a Jack. They worked without the driver, but, where not fully functional.

Yes, I stand corrected.

The beauty of Klipsch has always been they can give excellent sound with low power from the amp. In the old days of 30-35 watt a channel amps, that was a big deal. Today, with 100-125 a channel, cheap, it's less so. That said, when I went to the Yamaha, I had a huge increase in sound quality...

I'm using the Klipsch Pro media 2.1 4 speakers and a subwoofer for the computer in my room. Fine for anything in a smaller room, and doesn't shake the walls. http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-ProMedia-4-1-Certified-5-Speaker/dp/B000062VUP/ref=sr_1_121?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1302635694&sr=1-121...

My system wasn't even consistently recognizing the stupid monitor. Took it back, and decided that when the TV dies, I might need a monitor that I could use all the time, so, I bought a Syncmaster P2770, LCD. It's kind of fast, 1 ms response time, and it has the software I like, and, it has a DVI...

As an alternative, I have LOTS of Klipsch speakers: http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/promedia-2-1-overview/ http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/heresy-iii-overview/ The sub went out on the klipsch 5 speaker system I had, and, I bought a new sub speaker for 25 bucks, shipped, and...

I've always held off on the bleeding edge, but I so liked torrents at 1.3 MB/sec that I decided the 20 bucks extra to get 18 mbps would be worth it. Just had a programer move in, and, he wants the upload speed. Uploads go over 6 mbps, then drop back down with this new connection. For some...

I type 70 words a minute. You don't do that looking at the keyboard. However, that said, when it's dark, I do have to find the keyboard before I type on it;-) I do a lot of work where I'm sitting in my room, lights off, watching a movie, and working on something else. On the otherhand, the one...

I was connecting the server to one of the HDMI ports on the 37" Vizio, but the darn cable I was using, from monoprice, worked loose often in the video card HDMI port. I can't help but think that with the weight, and length of the HDMI cables, they are leveraged on the ports, and, with any...

David is probably the guy on this one. I've only used free programs, sometimes with stuff that only a clean install will cure. I am using a ram disk on an XP install, on one of my Panasonic laptops. I use it for caching stuff for Firefox, and, it really speeds stuff up. On another install, I...

Thanks Merc. That got me thinking of another time. Diane made walked in one day to work. The Shadowbrook, in Capitola. My boss, Charles Halliday, had the pick of many beautiful women to work the door, restaurant and bar, and, he usually hired aspiring models, etc. Diane walked in, with her...

I usually buy stuff from Costco, so if I don't like it, I can take it back, or, if it goes defective, likewise. Costco gives me three monitor choices: A 21.5" LCD for 160 dollars SA 350 for 200 dollars, 23" and the 27" for 300 dollars. The 27" is liveable. However, the new power connector to...

or these: 17 bucks: http://us.kensington.com/html/17774.html

I may have to try one of these: http://us.kensington.com/html/17151.html When I go through my next MSFT oem board, I may try one. Only 40 bucks...

Here is the fastest I've ever used. Antioch High School, Antioch. Funny that such a poor school district had such a lightning fast connection:

I am a moron, at least sometimes. Astounds add: "10 Mbps downstream/1 Mbps upstream"
