Seems NYC isn't letting Verizon off the hook... link

That is not entirely correct. The pre-merger HGST drives (designs and know how) and at least one manufacturing location went to Toshiba. What the new HGST drives are is anyone's guess. WD isn't going to run HGST separately too long (if they really even are now). link 1 link 2

But no one is reporting similar data loss issues in Windows are they? I haven't seen or heard of that.

I've done RAID-1 with Intel SSDs without any issues for years on an ICH controller. With old 80gB G2 drives and newer 730 series drives.

Is it a Linux only issue?

Yikes, that's not a room I'd want to even walk into. I'm guessing it's not built with glass that blocks the vast majority of the Sun's IR energy.

With some experimentation I've hit upon a pretty tasty margarita recipe. 1.5oz of good tequila (ie: no Cuervo) 1.0oz of Raspberry Peach Grand Marnier 0.5oz of Cointreau 4oz of Kirkland Margarita mix

They're apparently back in stock at my local MC. No idea what I'd do with it though. I guess I will pass.

No one broadcasts in 1080p in the US. It's either 1080i or 720p.

So far only streaming delivers UHD content. UHD Blu-Ray is supposed to be released for the Christmas buying season.

Why would you intentionally buy an obsolete machine even if it is reasonably cheap?

The last few things I bought from Newegg were delivered by USPS so I can't help you there.

Somewhere in between those two. UPSforLESS and RefurbUPS.

I've bought refurbished APC SmartUPS UPS's for my basement "servers".

I didn't see that on any of my Windows 7 systems.

Some of the Thinkpad T series machines now have IPS/wide viewing angle non-TN screens. My work T440s has one (14.1" FHD). The screen isn't quite as nice as the 14.1' FHD one in my HP Eliteboot 840 G1 though. It seems the screen Lenovo used has some enhancement films that noticeably narrows the...

Always the optimist. :p

How much do you want to sell it for?

Well, I'm sure those people in their 20's and 30's saw action in Iraq or Afghanistan. Those are foreign wars. Though I will admit, typically you think of the VFW being filled with old guys.

I haven't done a lot of listening to them, but they sound great from what I've heard so far in the basement! I've also heard them a few times before at few other people's houses in their HTs. They never fail to impress. A lot of that comes from this:

I've made some progress since resuming. I've added wiring for Dolby Atmos speakers. I replaced some 2 conductor speaker wire runs with 4 conductor runs needed for the surround speakers I plan to use. I ripped out some of the unnecessary 120V wiring (for lighting / controls). I figured out...

This is how people use $8k in speakers right? As workshop speakers in their basement?

I started the HT while I was unemployed and I got so busy with my new job that I started a few months into it that I just didn't have any time or mental energy to work on it. I got less busy over time, but it sort of languished. Now I'm trying to get back on it. Though I was sidetracked for...

So my friend stopped by and all 3 are now in the basement. They're heavy... I have two of them on the stands and will get them wired up later when I'm home from work. I take a picture of my silly basement setup. I did find the pictures of the exact 3 speakers I bought when they were new at...

44" tall in the boxes and 132lbs. There was no way to get 3 of them + the stands in the S4. I've generally avoided buying electronics for my HT since it's not done yet (after sitting stalled for almost 5 years). I'm going to use them with a receiver that only has RCA outputs for now. I am...

No, they're sitting in the garage. My friend is going to stop by this morning and help me get them to the basement. My HT room also isn't finished yet. :o (but I've started working on it again) I'm going to use two of them as my "workshop" speakers while I'm finishing the HT.

Well, the price was right. They're not vintage, but I think they're special. 3 Seaton Sound Catalyst 12C speakers for my HT. Yes, the minivan had unlimited mileage. Most passenger rental cars do.

While we're talking cars, I drove 1169 miles in a 24 hour period starting yesterday at 7am in a rented minivan to get a used set of speakers from a guy on the eastern side of PA. I got home just after 3AM this morning. :o

I've used fastcopy to copy and verify multi TB chunks of files and have never had an issue. :confused:

So is that a pro or a con?

My company provided Windows 7 computer has Office 2013 / 365 on it and it seems that on most patch Tuesdays it downloads somewhere between 800-1000MB of Office related updates. :cursin:

NextPVR?

Electricity will cease to be cheaper at night if enough people start using batteries to shift their usage to night time. Further, around here the price doesn't change based on the time of day for residential use.

But you'd have a degree that doesn't let you find a job within your major unless you're interested in playing an instrument in an orchestra or band.

Be sure to look at FastCopy.

Sorry to hear about your family life problems Sed... :(

That all depends on the context...

Maybe you should dial it back a bit on the coffee. ;)

Wet sponge or a metal brillo pad thingy. You wipe the tip off and re-tin the iron right before using it.

Windows shouldn't be detecting bad sectors on a good drive, but the Samsung software doesn't show any sector reallocation or unrecoverable errors. :confused:

You've got an A3, clearly the question wasn't directed to you. :p

Now that's funny. :thumbright:

Have you been mean to people again?

Have you scanned the SSD with Samsung's Magician SSD software? It sounds like you have a bad / failing SSD.

Nothing, I have winter tires mounted on mine.

Well, I didn't buy custom made wheels. I also dodged the Forgestar bullet when I shipped mine back. FWIW, the Enkei wheels I bought are still available.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, but I'm glad I dodged that bullet.

Maybe, I only really noticed one site that was also unloadable around the same time the forum was "pausing" for several minutes when I would click on a link. This: http://www.fox.com/gotham I only mention that because it was the first other site I found that wouldn't load. I don't recall if...

I had a few more of the same sort of hiccups today as well. I was on a Verizon LTE mifi (again) and I found one or two other sites were equally slow, but everything else was quick.
