2 hours away. If this install goes down, certain items have to be reinstalled....and I don't have the originals.

That's comforting. I'm sitting here trying to reinstall windows on the beast, with varying success.

Worked on 7 Ultimate 32 bit, then two new updates after install. I'm currently running system restore, because the 64 bit version stalled at 70%, and after a half hour, I shut it down. It then went into a loop, saying it was restoring windows, starting, shutting down, restoring, about 5 times...

For what it's worth: The Panasonic CF-37 had a good enough keyboard to get me to 75 WPM, after 2 hours a day, for a year, work on Mavis Beacon. I'm really wondering if a 100 bucks for an old style keyboard might be worth it?

Hi I'm not an expert by any means, but, I do reasonably well at this. I'm using VLC right now, but, the original isn't good enough to go full screen. I'm playing on a Vizio 37", at 1920 X 1080. When I play DVD's, I use Power DVD 10 Ultra. That works the best with blurays by far. I've used...

I use it in reference to this area in particular. I went through my formative years in Berkeley California in, part, supposedly the center of 'liberal' thought. Liberal, in it's classic term usage, was to evaluate all positions, consider as many different sides of the puzzle as possible, and...

"Solid State Santilli" Thank you.

David: How about some test numbers for the SSD speed? GS

David: Have you put an SSD in the 201 yet?

As in People's Republic of Kalifornia Pretty common reference to a state with laws that rival Nazi Germany-The U.S.S.R., and, pretty much total disregard for The US Constitution. Luckily, some of the judiciary still remember what the law is.

"34.3 °F Light Snow Mist" 7 am. I was driving to Sac for basketball yesterday.

35 and light snow, 5:55 AM saturday morning and, I'm driving to Sac to work. Going to be a fun drive.

well it's 7am and it's 33 degrees. heater on.

That was last night, at 2 AM.

Check that. dropped to 32 degrees...

I tried the IP address, but, I thought it would be easier to find the port number, and block it. I was wrong.

Turns out MSFT Publisher 2000 is far easier to use then MSFT Word 2007, for that task...

Title says it all. Global warming? I was wondering why the heater wasn't working. So much for any thoughts of surfing tomorrow...

Samsung Galaxy? I played with a demo, but, it didn't support flash.

Played with it yesterday, connecting to my Wifi. Novelty is wearing off. I was thinking yesterday I'd never spend that much money for it, and, being stuck in Safari, and Apples' hardware box.

I'm changing out one of the MSFT keyboards today. The s and d keys are really sticking. SSSSS DDdddddddddddd. D is pretty bad, though maybe something is stuck in there. We'll see. The Logitech keyboard on the Server has been going strong for a long time. It's an Elite Keyboard LE.

Thanks David. I did a bunch of research, and didn't find that answer. I just uninstalled the Logitech program, and, the constant sending is over. Thanks again. GS PS it really didn't make much sense, since if the NebuAD hardware was in place at Astound, it would have been hitting my server as...

I guess Promise would be the number one spot for me. Can't really EVER see using a product from them again.

Buck, Sorry to hear that. I REALLY like having cheap, throw away keyboards that still work VERY well. Typing on one right now. Feels like the keys are starting to go, but, they still work fine.

Let's see. Dell comes to mind. I remember all the time I spent trying to get an IDE raid to work. Then, after six months, I'm talking to a Dell tech and, they find buried somewhere that the ide channels on my Dell only support ONE device per channel, not TWO. I've managed to block out the...

I was in Hawaii for this young lady: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Iniki Ripped a lot of houses apart. Winds on the top of the mountains hit sustained 229 mph, IIRC. That was the reading from the weather tower in the Kaui mountains, right before it blew over. Wasn't bad at all on...

My objection is anyone using a 2.5 inch drive, and a USB external. So slow, one is unlikely to use them. A 3.5 in a bag is easy to carry around, and fairly safe if in a briefcase, and, one of those ballistic nylon padded cases.

"Greg's idea that the average person is going to get 2 2.5" USB HD's and manually back up their data, take them offsite, and rotate them weekly (or whatever) is laughable even if it saves them money. Mozy and the like are easy. It sits in the system tray and works in the background without any...

My perception of fast might well be due to the Samsung Galaxy having a decent processor, vs. your average 500 dollar 4g phone...

? Why not just setup a backup with SATA disks, removeable, write to them, throw them in a safe, and use duplicates? That, or an offsite mirrored raid. With 2 gig Sata drives being 100 bucks, these I'm kind of confused as to any value of the other options.

I've had a bunch of OCZ vertex turbos that are incredible, and, great values. Kingspec 50% sucks. Panasonic is THE Jap company, from my experience. Sony? Not THAT bad. WD Deathstars and now Seagate SATA drives suck. More later.

WHICH of the 13 boards???;-) What did you Aussies, or is it more global, do, to piss God off?

HMMM. Logitech 9000 cam appears to have stuff that might work, though I haven't used it for anything other then Skype....

Hi I was wondering if you all might post your tech resumes, so a rookie might get an idea of what they might look like? Thanks GS

I just ordered new cat6 cables from monoprice.com None are long enough to worry about bend length, but, I'm hoping to get consistent Gig speeds with them.

Seems it works VERY well as a Kindle. GF has a bunch of really good books on it, and, it was easy to download, either on 3g or wifi, the books. Great reader as well.

bump testing tomorrow.

HMMM. Tried to install firefox: no joy. Seems Safari either blocks it, or, no version for the maxipad. Good stuff: People with big fingers now have a phone they can use. Anyone know what the data package through AT&S... costs? Screen longevity, since you can't clean it with anything, except...

Comments, experience?

HOW can you have 16 Gig, of fast ram, and rate 7.5?

Handruin: Besides the Apple tax, and being made by Apple, what specific things don't you like about the iphone, and, what do you like? S

I'm sure they will change, but, my data plan is 10 bucks, for very slow speeds, and, the browser doesn't do flash. I'd like a phone with an actual browser that made surfing the web easy, or, a light laptop I can throw in my bag, something like the Panasonic CF-37, but with a modern operating...

I was comparing top line phones in 3g and 4g, plus the Galaxy, at TMobile. The 3G just wasn't fast enough to do streaming video well, and web pages loaded pretty slowly. Reminds me of before broadband. I guess TMobile is onboard with the 4g network, and, they don't charge extra for it in their...

Hi I've been looking at Tmobiles' options. Samsung Galaxy is kind of cool, but, it's 3g. WHY would anyone pay that kind of money when a 4g is around 500 bucks? Seems what I am after requires Android 2.2, or, it won't play, flash stuff, mainly surfline.com, etc. My current 5230 and 1900...

HMMM. I recently replaced my Linksys switch with a gigabyte, home switch, made by TP Link. I did not replace the Cat 5 cables, and, plugged server and Beast into the new switch, along with printer, and internet connection. SOMETIMES, I get VERY fast transfer rates, like 100MB/sec, or over. Other...

It's still a 1500 dollar laptop. Panasonic W8 would be the answer for a toughbook, at around 1100-1200, but, it specs out REALLY slow.

I should mention that I currently have a AGP HIS 4670 IceQ in the server. It has run flawlessly for about 3 years, except for problems with DVD/Bluray playback, and PowerDVD 8,9,10. This situation was one of the reasons I moved to Nvidia, and The Beast. In the AGP category, I think it's pretty...
