Small Block Chevy?

If my 10TB drive was actually 9.09GB, I'd consider a class action. FYI, your 10 Terabyte drive truly is a 9.09Tebibyte (9313.226 Gibibyte) drive. Windows reports the binary capacity, not the drive maker's misleading decimal number.

No, not really. AFAIK namejet doesn't contact the domain holder, just waits for domains to be almost-expired and reported by namejet-affiliated registrars. Then if there is an offer pending for the name (and the name isn't renewed by the original owner), there is an auction, but the proceeds...

Reg. expires sometime in 2020 tho...

Truly annoying thing about white streetlights is that it makes it harder to distinguish between ambient lighting and vehicle headlights.

You've installed the saddle backwards.

You are doing better than me. I get no video and audio with buzz overlay (underlying audio sounds like inside a gym - sneaker squeaks).

VGA to HDMI active converter Newegg reviews are varied; generally I think user error unless the reviews are consistently bad.

Best sunscreen is the one you use correctly - almost nobody does. Sweethome had a decent roundup I didn't rip that from the article - several dermatologists said the same thing to me...

Lunar can stop pining now...Samsung ships 15TB SSD.

? After fixing SD's link, I could download directly from publisher's domain.

Absolutely not divergent from real world situations, unless you consider FFTs a non-real world scenario.

Horseshit. AVX and AVX2 (FMA) instructions are used by Prime95 exactly as they are designed to be used. Idiots who didn't/don't understand the response of the CPU to AVX instructions spread misinformation - usually like "Prime95 caused my overclocked and overvolted CPU to die!" because the...

If grid connected, you also need to coordinate with and meet the connection requirements of the utility. They can be rather exacting and onerous.

Huh. Just set up a new account and it just did verification by email. Entered a MagicJack phone number. Edit: Now when it needs to send a verification code it gives me a choice between text, voice, or email. Edit 2: I did use a 'real' email account; not yahoo, hotmail, etc.

They will also use an automated voice call if txt not supported.

I've got two waiting for me at my local Fry's. I'd be happy to send you one at no markup ($27 + postage) if you want. PM if interested.

Was in Vegas this weekend and heard a local refer to the Luxor light as the "bat beacon", so I had to find out why.

Deleted. Rendered moot by SD's post.

Appropriate term (xkcd comic)

This will make Merc happy (or maybe not).

Because that is what happens when available funds exceed available time.

Next year

I guess I was lucky back in the day. My 486DX-50 never gave me any problems, but it was on an ISA only board. Summer '92 I splurged and bought 8 megs of RAM (30 pin SIMMs with parity [remember parity? now known as ECC {ok, part of ECC}]) for IIRC $38/meg. 8MB was so I could run OS/2 and Win3.11...

Dammit! They keep changing things. My early Core2 Toshiba had it (tripped me up more than once) as well as numerous other earlier Toshiba notebooks/laptops. But I just checked and my last Toshiba (2009? AMD AthlonII-M or something) doesn't. Wonder if that was because they switched to USB from...

Quick note on the touchpad. Toshiba BIOS like to disable internal pointing devices if it detects another pointing device; happens before OS boot, so OS never sees the internal device. You can alter this behavior on some machines in BIOS setup. Make sure you change the BIOS setting or remove the...

Here's one removal script for Win7/8.1 (I haven't used or tested): GitHub Gist Edit: This one goes a bit further; edits the HOSTS file, kills scheduled tasks, and removes services.

A505 disassembly video. This is the first one I found; there must be others.

Performance is ... adequate I guess. Car and Driver review for 2011 model. MotorTrend has a preview of the 2016 model - it appears much improved. More current MT 2014 mini-review.

And Lunar possibly illustrates Chevy's big failure to educate the buying public. The Volt switches to gasoline engine when its batteries run low; no range anxiety. It could be the perfect interim EV, as many people could go weeks without using the ICE, given the 30 mile electric range.

Which computer?

Do you need to use a floppy for some reason? Memtest86+ has bootable CD ISOs.

Not the style, the content. Back in the day when I knew all of that stuff intimately due to being hit over the head with the various incompatibilities on a daily basis.

Dammit Tea, that link just triggered my late 90's inflicted PTSD! Although that site does appear to offer some good advice for older OS installs (aside from wanting to use Java)

Yeah, me too. I went NT in '97 (and even got entire family on NT with Win2K) and my 9X/DOS knowledge has been fading rapidly since then.

Microsoft support article on large IDE drives and non-NT based Windows.

Heh. MB and OS probably don't know what to do with those gigantic drives. There might be a jumper you can set on the drives to restrict them to 32 (or 3.2) GB so you can install. Isn't the maximum partition size for FAT32 32GB? What MB/chipset?

1. You underestimate the number of hypocritical people, especially the allegedly devout. 2. Not terribly bright people; see 3, infra. 3. Remember, 1/2 the population is below average in intelligence; see 2, supra. 4. See 1 and 3, supra.

Silverstone makes acceptable 600w SFX (essentially 1/2 the size of ATX) PSUs. Not perfect in terms of DC quality or acoustic noise, but won't fry anything and will be quieter (or at least less annoying) than anything with smaller fans.

Lack of actual 4K monitor means I can't verify, but it does allow me to select 2160p and the red 4K tag shows up. Buffers like 4K on my connection. HTML5 via Epic browser

Lexus cars are generally well isolated - too isolated for my taste, but YMMV. Also check out the Toyota Avalon, which shares the basic platform.

Well, I'd settle for 40 days and 40 nights spread out over 4 months...

Galápagos?

El Niño?Sorry for your plans, but Calif. is hoping for a strong one.

Now Samsung is just messing with us. 15.3TB in 2.5" package.

I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary today.

High voltage DC is used for some transmission lines.

Re: Soylent I don't think it is vile, just exceptionally meh. I add a packet of sugar-free hot chocolate mix and it becomes tolerable. I don't think I'll reorder.

Oops! My car apparently has real wood trim. I just assumed it was faux. However, my aunt's 2003 Buick had some interior wood trim (real or fake IDK), and I never noticed it having a problem - and that car was parked outdoors without any shade for 6+ years.
