Wood what? Trim, flooring, frame (like Morgans)? If interior auto trim, GM plastic wood looks new after 9+ years; can't detect any changes in my '06. NB: It isn't on any wear surfaces.

I am so lost...

Buckling spring keyboards are about the loudest around. (But they are awesome for typists, if loudness not a factor.)

For Lunar: Samsung releases 2TB SSDs

2011 can have two different patterns. Here is one example. IIRC, David ran into this a while back on a dual socket board.

Looks like clean installs of 10 possible w/out re-upgrading. Can even re-install from .iso once licensed. ArsTechnica article with details.

WAG: HTTPS everywhere extension on browser (or something similar) causing redirect to 443?

Excavating deeper, I found a SBS 2003 Premium edition that looks like OEM (non-evaluation); probably from old Action Pack subscription.

I've somehow retained a SBS 2003 Partner Guide with Evaluation Software; 4 CDs for SBS. I don't know where the eval. software puts the time limit in, but if all else fails I'd be happy to create an ISO of the first disc and post the file somewhere (is it too big for free dropbox?).

Some cheap fan controllers connect both the 12v and 5v rails together (12v to +, 5v to -) to yield 7v at the fans. Some PSUs REALLY hate this, as the 5v rails are designed as current sources rather than current sinks that the 7v trick makes them. IIRC, the newer power supplies with DC-DC...

Was it a .Net update? I left a couple of computers sitting for 1+ hour (forgot about them) and then they worked. IDK why.

One of these?

Did you resize the partitions on the 320GB drive prior to moving them to the 250GB drive? Or was the software supposed to do that automatically? This message "Adding 101843 bad clusters to the Bad Clusters File. Correcting errors in the Volume Bitmap. Write failure with status 0xc0000185 at...

Nah, just when (f***ing) Flash is running. I'm not a big gamer but if I forget and leave a Flash game running, I can't play some 1080p games on my 7970.

More data from Backblaze (via ArsTechnica). TL;DR summary: HGST rules, Seagate drools.

Liquid Paper on original, then submit photocopy. The challenge was finding a good photocopier.

Yup. Everything is vulnerable to brute-force attacks (well, perhaps until we have quantum-cryptography) but having salted hashes makes it much more difficult to obtain many passwords. You have to attack each salted hash with straight-up brute force without the benefits of shortcuts like gigantic...

UserID Salt SaltedHash sdbardwick [random digits] [hashed (password+salt)] Salt is stored in database and associated with username, so it will add the proper salt to the entered password before hashing the concatenated password and salt. Salt can even be plaintext.

I'm sure wider controllers will happen eventually. Until NVM Express becomes common, there is no impetus for mass-market oriented chipmakers to do so; current designs can saturate the SATA3 interface. So for the most part (with a couple exceptions) we end up with wonky RAID0>PCIe setups.

IIRC, the holdup is the number of dies/flash chips the SSD (Sandforce, Toshiba, Indilinx, etc) controllers support, so we are currently tied to flash density increases.

Dammit! First Hitachi drive died yesterday two months after warranty expired. Retail boxed 7200 RPM Deskstar 2TB made in China. Did give me about a one week warning by going from zero bad sectors to 1987 during that time. Lets see how long the other 3 drives from that batch last....

If the just the backlight of the LCD gave out, there is still a very faint image visible on the screen; slightly lighter black on darker black. Shining an external light on the screen can sometimes help visibility. You probably won't be able to read the image, but you will be able to tell it is...

#1 cause of sudden laptop display vanishing is accidentally hitting the Fn+Function key that toggles output to external display.

CM 212+(or EVO, can't remember) Arctic Cooling Freezer i30 and Corsair H110 both fit on my Asus x99 without problems.

'cause the 1D-C can? (Cynic in me says same hardware with different firmware and +3K price delta)

Well, there is a branch of this outfit about a block 1/4 mile up the road.

Interesting autocorrection...

Yeah, my pounding was back in '87 at uni, so it was "That way it will always work for both Unix and whatever garbage the other departments use."

Did something change? It was beaten pounded impressed upon me that underscore characters were not valid in server/node names.

To my surprise, it did reduce burn-in on my circa 2004 Ultrasharp. I think I let it run for 2 hours.

Yup. LGA2011 processors use solder rather than globs of TIM between the die and heat spreader.

Indeed. I'm old enough now that I should just make "IIRC, but I probably don't" a macro. Or be responsible and check before posting, but that isn't as much fun...

IIRC, Toshiba got WDC's Thailand 3.5" assets in exchange for Toshiba's Thailand 2.5" assets, and WDC retained all of HGST.

I think LM is referring to Apple's Fusion Drive thing.

The coin is a fake! It wouldn't use Arabic numerals - 49 should be IL or XLIX

Yes, but not Bozo's fault. H changed the address to this. It might change again...

Few (in fact, I don't recall any) 478 P4s support NX; Wilamette and Northwood [1st and 2nd core iterations] did not. Most of the 775s did.

Then, if the Agency doesn't support transport, arrange for non-emergency medical transport to and from your surgery through somebody like these folk. The transport company might even provide the necessary companionship that makes the hospital happy.

Find a short-term RN or CNA through one of these agencies: Home Healthcare Agencies

So, this? :)

I've used those Silverstone adapters in the past, and can't recall having an issue with that, but I've only used SSDs in them. Looks like 2 9.5MM drives will fit, but I don't know about taller ones...

AdBlock on an old Firefox Nightly red tags only the following:##.ad_global_header which appears to be a default vBulletin placeholder for banner ads.

This is moot in the instant case, but as a general rule when dealing with regulators, if you can choose between characterizing yourself as a business customer or as a consumer, always pick consumer. Nitsirk originally tried with the residential side of Comcast, and my (now obviated) advice was...

Is that area under a local franchise agreement (Indiana stated phasing those out starting in '06)? If so, complaining in writing as a residential consumer to the franchise authority will at least get some attention from Comcast, and a more detailed and reasoned examination of the situation. If...

Re: Noise Yes, they are probably the loudest consumer (that is, not a server with 9K RPM 40MM fans) computing product I have heard - I returned mine and decided to stick with my 7970 for a while longer. The current cards are thermally limited, so you need to run the fan at 100% for maximum...

I'm being tempted by the $1400 Dell 3840x2160 24" Ultrasharp, but according to their press release, there is a 28" coming soon at <$1000, so I'm in a holding pattern.

Basement might be far enough away :) [evil mode] Some of the cheaper kill-a-watt type power meters are fooled by active power-factor correction (APFC) power supplies (will under-read the PSU's draw, calculating out to over 100% efficiency), so you could do really well at your friend's solar...
