I just bought a replacement battery, $24 dollars didn't sound bad and there should be nothing wrong with the UPS itself. The cost of recycling was like $89 cents per pound plus shipping. Maybe another $20 dollars.

Yes but it seemed like a lot of effort for only 1.75x more zoom. Is it worth it? Father's day is coming up so I am looking for reasonable gift ideas.

The Opti ES550C-USB looks good. Any opinions? And where can I take my battery? I remember Circuit City used to have a box at the counter where you could recycle batteries but probably not lead acid batteries correct? I guess I'll just contact my township to see about recycling/disposal of the...

Well I don't actually plug it into the ups but to another surge strip. But what would be the problem plugging it into one of the surge only outlets? You are saying that turning it on would sag the power level too low on the other devices hooked up to the UPS? I was hoping to get rid of some...

I should say that I never used it only researched it and found the whole kit too expensive to upgrade my camera.

For the canons you first need a lens adaptor thing that connects to the front. Then you can add the teleconverters.

My APC Back-UPS Pro 650 just (about 5 minutes ago) started beeping and the bad battery light is now constantly on. So the question is what should I do, new battery or new UPS. Recommendations welcome. I'll be trying to keep costs down hopefully to under $100. What it has to support: 17" Monitor...

I have a canon Powershot A60, 2MP, 3x zoom. I really like the 4 double AA batteries. I go a month between recharging. You absolutely must go high capacity rechargables. I was recommended and recommend the MaHa PowerEx batteries. The zoom is kinda limiting. As for the time between press and...

He was not a US citizen and didn't have a US passport. So he needed a visa but didn't have one. All I needed was my passport.

I was most surprised to find both Burger King, McDonald's & Subway.

Well I arrived safe and sound and am visiting a rainy auckland new zealand. The training is going well and ahead of schedule. The other guy who was supposed to come down got turned away at LA.

I'm happy for you.

Why don't you like fast user switching? I would think it would be perfect for home users. Wife wants to use machine but not mess with dad's stuff. Throw kids in the mix and you might have 4 simultaneous logins.

Answered the second question. It is available on XP Pro if the computer isn't a member of a domain.

XP home doesn't support multiple processors according to MS website. Does it suppor the new AMD chips that are dual? In other words: Is it a licensing limitation? Or it doesn't include the multi-processor kernel? Also does anybody know if you can get fast user switching to work with XP...

Seems like overkill, laptop in the car? Why not just keep a notepad and pen in the car and write down the mileage?

Raises Hand. I don't agree with circumventing through illegal means. However, I also think that we pay too much for our shows. Once to the cable company and then again by dealing with commercials. And we are also subsidizing the shows we don't watch. And Tivo rules because it is an easy...

Tivo Rules. I hate live TV. Cable costs way too much. Yes I have disrespect for Comcast, which is why I went with RCN cable. Fortunately in my area there is a choice in cable providers but not in cable prices. Still costs nearly $90/month for cable (no digital converter box) and cable...

I happened to be up late the other night and saw Robot Chicken on Adult Swim. It was so stupid it was funny as hell. On the other hand I can't figure out what the big deal is about Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I know they aren't technically anime but whatever.

No frequent flyer status as I've only flown maybe 4 times my entire life. I'd be departing from Philadelphia, PA probably. Maybe they'll make me go up to newark international airport.

Everybody I tell keeps asking me how long the flight is. I honestly don't know but will be making the arrangements this week. I tried to convince my wife to come along. Once in a lifetime opportunity and all that. But she is 6 months pregnant and a stay at home mom with our 2.5 year old.

For work, I'll be in Auckland, New Zealand for training the week of May 30th. Anybody live in those parts?

If it were me, I would plug my USB flash drive (Kingston Data Traveler) into the port. If it glows orange I get USB2, if it glows green I get USB1. Maybe somebody near you has one of these gizmos?

At first I thought it was a joke.

I've got some old textbooks that I wanted to get rid of. Anybody know the best place to sell/donate them? List of books if any of you are interested (books are free - you pay shipping) Modern Operating Systems (0135881870) ~ Andrew S. Tanenbaum Artificial Intelligence - A Modern Approach...

Maybe it went perpendicular ;)

Very Expensive wrapping paper at $64 face value and $85 cost from BEP

That is freakin' awesome.

Speaking of best buy.... I went to this best buy to buy a dvd movie while in Northern Jersey (near new york). As I head for the checkout, the checkout lanes are blocked by a very long row of tvs or something with just a one box hole to allow people to file into the checkout lanes. So I get in...

recovery console huh... seemed useless. No text editor. I finally tried plugging my usb flash drive in and discovered it was available in the recovery console. So I had to copy the boot.ini onto the flash drive, take it to another computer and edit it and then copy it back over. I'm now...

Yes spring has sprung here in the philadelphia area as well. Nice day today and even warmer tomorrow.

I'm not used to linux. I did have slackware installed but never really used it. I wanted a linux version that was hardcore enough to actually learn something but easy enough if I wanted it. Gentoo seemed to fill that niche. I also wanted a 2.6 kernel and slackware last time I checked didn't...

So if I put my win2k install disk in, how to I get to edit boot.ini? Is this the recovery console option?

I would edit it if I could. Even though I mounted it rw it stills says read-only filesystem. mount says rw I tried chmod 777 /mnt/win2k/boot.ini. What do I need to do to get this ntfs filesystem mounted truly read-write?

I thought partitions designations in boot.ini were 0 based indexes? So the first primary partition would be multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(0)\WINNT and the second primary partition multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT But checking the laptop I'm on, it has two primary partitions and sure...

So this weekend I installed (still installing) gentoo 2005.0 starting with the minimal install disk and x86 stage 1. That seems to be going well. Although now I'm at the kernel configuration (make menuconfig) step and I need advice as to what to enable/disable/modularize. I picked reiserfs as...

For bonus I get 3% of my billings above my goal.

$35! Consider this Syba Silicon Image based card for $18.50 I used this for a while and have a used one if you're interested. Only catch is you have to flash it to the IDE bios prior to using it in non-raid.

It is an interesting issue of secular rights versus right to life. This is I think what the protests are about. There are two people, her parents, who are willing to take care of her, thus holding up her right to life. There is one person, her husband, who under the law has complete say in...

Very concerning as I was planning to use some of my first quarter bonus to buy a 2001FP.

Go to the site that has the icon you want, say google. Then type http://www.google.com/favicon.ico That is usually the place where the icon is kept. Some people use another name/location and include a link in the source code of the html page that points to it. Save that file locally and then...

Woohoo finally got a storageforum icon. I found an extension that adds a thing to the property page of the bookmark allowing you to set the bookmark icon. But when I tried to use the favicon.ico from storageforum it was too large. So I removed all but the 16x16 and 32x32 256 color icons from...

The icons are stored in you bookmarks.html file as base64 encoded data. My icon for storageforum was the one for storagereview. I just removed the ICON="stuff here" from my link but now I have no icon. Deleting and readding the bookmark doesn't help. I still don't think they've got bookmark...

Does this help? http://www.mager.org/mkdosfs/

Have you tried other ports? Usually they just block port 25 traffic. The other ?standard? port is 587.

Interesting that you can't do it like word or excel...

Would one of the linux apps do this? Maybe you can use a linux boot cd to do it?

You have to remember that the Mozilla Foundation is not the end all and be all of mozilla. There is a community group of developers who will continue to work on seamonkey (mozilla suite) probably under a new name. And all their products rely on the same underlying gecko so mozilla foundation...

I don't see these options anywhere. How are you getting to them?
