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.

"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.

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

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.
