I second that recommendation. PairNic is a fair bit more expensive than GoDaddy, but I've never been disappointed.

I used to have a bunch of Asterix and TinTin comics when I lived in Switzerland.

Fujitsu has announced that it has developed a new 200GB 2.5" Serial ATA hard drive for mobile applications. The MHV2200BT is the world's first 200GB mobile drive and features a 4200RPM spindle speed, best-in-class power consumption, whisper quiet operation and Native Command Queuing (NCQ)...

Got the job :mrgrn: Round of drinks on the house for my comrades please Bartender.

The Outback 2.5 is rated for around 1000 pounds when towing a trailer without brakes. With trailer brakes, this jumps to 2700 pounds. What is the terrain like? Flat or hilly? In fact, it makes the Edmunds Top 10 of best tow vehicles (tho it's unclear which particular model they are referring...

Sorry to hear that, but at least you have another position to transition to.

Interview went well. I'll know next week. It is an entry level type position, mostly monitoring consoles/batches/print jobs etc. But the possibilities for advancement are almost unlimited (workforce of 20,000). And the benefits are sweet (discounted/free education for the kiddies).

15MB/s for a normal notebook drive? That seems low. Nevermind, I see it's a 1.8" form factor.

Got an interview on Thursday for a computer operator job. 500 servers in a datacenter, including some Z series big iron. Actually a drop in pay, but it would be a great experience doing something technically hands-on.

SATA II (external) is fully rectangular. That Athena enclosure looks like it uses a standard SATA connector (L shaped), so any normal SATA cable should work. AFAIK, for internal connections, there is no difference between SATA I and II.

Sorry to hear that Merc. Hope it works out for the best.

Can't relocate. Will be staying in the Rochester area. My programming skills are very dusty, I barely remember any of that. During the last two years I have been moving more into the customer support/troubleshooting/help desk role, along with sales technical support, on site customer training...

Congrats Coug. I actually resigned from my job a couple of weeks ago, had enough with shoddy behaviour by the CEO. Apparently he had to spend quite some time with the Board of Directors doing damage control :)

It's Greg's possesed puddy cat that scares me.

I used to cast my own round balls for black powder shooting. The lead was usually free from wheel balancing weights etc. Tho I used a proper lead melting pot, outside. Doing it on the kitchen stove is definitely a good way to poison yourself. Projectiles can be surprisingly expensive...

If buying a $500 dollar vid card, I would ensure that it supported HDCP. Otherwise you are going to be SOL when you try and play Blu-Ray/HD-DVD on your PC via Vista (or so goes the current thinking). Of course if your monitor doesn't support it either, it may not be an issues for you.

We have a bunch of Dell 1704 FP panels at work, DVI/VGA, they work great and good pricing if you can get a discount.

Wait a week or two for the prices to drop. http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/video/display/20060303052240.html The X800 XL is much faster than the X1600 XT. Almost twice the speed. The difference between PCI-E and AGP versions would be minimal...

What projector are you using?

I'm afraid even 1920*1200 is not enough for that, on occasion :mrgrn: Perhaps David has it right, go for 2560 across.

Let me put my experience in: When I got married, and my wife and I put in all the paperwork to the INS (now USCIS), she had to sign an Affidavit of Support, which means that if I apply and get certain kinds of Federal benefits, she will be liable to pay back the costs. She will only be released...

I guess the question is will the Palm care or handle 20MB/sec? It's probably happy with 1MB/sec. Seems like if you can deal with the slightly slower speeds when uploading to the card, go with the cheapest you can find.

Eeeek! *Pradeep sucks thumb, shivering, waiting for Sun to come back up*

So you used a utility from Seagate, that wiped your drive without any warning? I would say that is poor coding on Seagate's part, MSFT have produced some horrible shit in their time, but I don't think this is their fault.

You would have needed to delete all existing volumes, before converting a dynamic disk back to basic. When you right clicked and chose "Delete Volume", what did you think it would do?

It's been pretty nasty the last few days: http://www.cnn.com/2006/WEATHER/02/18/winter.storms.sat.ap/index.html

Nice find Lunar! Cheap as piss to boot.

Last I remember XP cost Dell something like $30-$40 bucks per copy.

So this year, I've switched from the Blizzak WS-50 to the new Nokian Hakka RSi snow tires. Any one else doing anything exciting?

There will still be LVD controllers in 5 years, if not in retail, there will be thousands on ebay. LTO3 will be fully maxed out with a U160 controller.

Favourite show at the moment is The Office (US version). Boston Legal isn't bad. Lost, 24. Also enjoying Battlestar Galactica (in HD via Universal HD)

Just get an LTO2/3 drive and be done with it. I'm sure your time is worth more than the time to burn 1200 DVDs.

Oh, so this problem only affects the on-board SATA ports? No worries, we're running Areca RAID controllers. Thanks for the info Gilbo

Does this affect boards based on the NForce4 Professional chipset, such as the Supermicro HD8CE?

Average gas price in the US would prob be closer to $2.50, making it even cheaper for Fushigi :mrgrn:

Actually yesterday it was pissing down with rain, weather guy said it was the first serious rain they've had down here in four months. Figgers.

Greetings from Miami Beach.

Thanks for the hard work Doug. Sounds like it's time for a snowblower :)

Reasonably warm here in Hot Spring, AR. Shame about the rain. Oh well, "Manager's reception" aka 2 hour happy hour starts soon :)

A colleague has a Treo 650 on Verizon, he got a TomTom GPS for Palm Treo doodad the other day. Very nice, connects via Bluetooth. And he got a 2GB SD card so he can store all of the US on it. The Treo 700w would be a winner, but having less resolution than the 650 is unacceptable IMHO. Also I...

We are using three of them at work now (H8DCE) or something like that. Rock solid with dual Opteron 252s, and 4 TB of storage. Works lubbly with the Supermicro cases (except you can't use the plastic shrouds they include which only work with the Intel windtunnel HSFs).

It's showing on SciFi channel (and in HD on UniversalHD).

Excellent. He may abandon the black hole that was the failed registration scheme. And make it easier for law-abiding American gun owners to visit Canada without 300 pieces of paperwork and a ton of fees.

Yeah we sent our two in last week, we got two brand new ones back today.

Obviously Coug you've never peed on an electric fence.

Problem is you can't feed the 3007 any component signals. So it can only be used in conjunction with a PC with dual link DVI. Limits it's applications for home-theatre. Even 1080p is going to look a little shitty at 2560*1600.

Coug: go for the Samsung vs the 2005FPW. More pixels, more screen area. The 2005 is very "short" with 1050 vertical pxels.
