    Are you sure that's the battery wearing or just increase power consumption by the software (presumably it's running a very version of Android now than it did before)?

    Pope Hangs It Up?

    I'm not sure what you think that link proves. A few lawyers alleging some far reaching conspiracy with absurd claims does not a smoking gun make. You and Merc alleged something very specific and you reference the existence of a few pot stirring lawyers with an axe to grind as proof. I'm not...

    The storageforum Audi S4 Thread

    For the most part it seems okay so far, but it wasn't sunny out today so I can't really see the paint match all that well yet. So far I haven't noticed any obvious problem on that front. I did find that the plastic trunk hinge covers were not fastened properly. And, as expected there are...

    A Linksys router piggybacked to an ActionTec router, doesn't connect to the internet

    Second, see this thread and this blog post. Ultimately you can't really run two routers as once, so you're not really using them together. Also, I'm not sure that the Linksys with the factory firmware will offer you much in terms of advantages over the ActionTec aside from access to the 5.0gHz...

    Are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure as long as you have the R version of the chipset you can do RAID-5 regardless of the OS.

    problem RAID-Disk Problem??

    Don't get ahead of yourself. If you're sure it's not doing a background initialization, I'd suggest making a three drive array of the newest drive and two of the older ones and see if the 3 drive array returns to the original performance or if it's also slow. Then you'll know if you have a...

    You want one that does DVD+VR, not DVD-VR. DVD+VR discs are supposed to be compatible with any DVD player once you finalize them.

    problem RAID-Disk Problem??

    Uh, not sure what you're talking about there. Write speeds can be just as fast as read speeds if the processor on the controller can keep up. You're certainly not limited to a single drive's write speed. Here's 6 1.5TB 5400 RPM drives in RAID-5 The 8 of the same drives in RAID-6 8 2.0TB...

    Security Cameras

    I had several packages stolen last week from my porch. I'm thinking to put several IP cams around the front of the house so I have a good view of anyone approaching the front of my house and can see what they're doing on my porch.

    Well, the good news is you got it back. It seems like every few days I'm finding that the number of packages stolen from my porch last Wed goes up. I'm up to 5 USPS and 1 UPS. I've been watching Craigslist and Ebay for the stuff, but nothing so far. So far not a single vendor has stepped up...

    I thought Chrysler's commercials were pretty good in an outside the box sort of way that was different than the more common absurd Doritos / Taco Bell / Oreo / M&M sort.

    I took my cheapo Syma X1 quad outside in the cold and snow today. Flying outside is quite a bit different than trying to fly indoors in a constrained space. It's hard to tell the orientation of it once it gets far enough away though.

    Glad you're making progress. Unfortunately, I had over $500 in RC stuff stolen from my porch on Wed. 4 USPS packages and 1 UPS package. So far one of the stores (who didn't insure the 2 packages) basically told me "too bad". Unfortunately I paid for the items with Paypal, and I know I will...

    WIndows 7 asks to format drive after RAID5 OCE

    Sort of a hear no evil see no evil approach? In RAID-10 do you even know you got an URE? At least in RAID-5 you've got parity that can detect data corruption / validate integrity. RAID-1 just assumes everything is good and when a drive drops and you rebuild the array it just mirrors the...

    Bah, that'll buff right out! FWIW, I can't fly my little 1SQ quad to save my life. And, I've been feeling the compulsion to buy a 1/10th - 1/8th 4x4 truck or buggy of some sort over the last few days.

    Pretty close. The vehicle 2 cars behind me decided he couldn't stop on freeway after slowing some, swerved to the adjacent lane directly in front of a semi still going the speed limit. The semi hit the car, it spun, scraped the guy behind me and got pushed by me on the front of the semi before...

    So my S4 is now at a local body shop so it can be repaired. :( The car was "shotgunned" with debris from a very close proximity car accident back in mid December. Lots of scratches, nicks, and gouges in the paint. Even a few chips down to bare metal. :cursin: The entire drivers side of the...
