NYS already has it. However they are not valid in NYC. And with some of the city Assemblymen recently trying to ban any >.50 cal guns - which include smoothbores such as 12 gauge shotguns, I don't think that will change anytime soon.

That would be any person not convicted of a felony, or mental problems. Most States now have concealed carry. Care to tell me the last time one of these jackasses misused their guns?

Are those 80 pin drives Fushigi? What generation Seagate?

From what I understand write speeds are around 5MB/sec, with reads of 10MB/sec. Not something to use if you are in a rush.

Verbatim 16x rated DVD-R or DVD+R

At work we recently went to a T1, a real thing of beauty, we have VOIP on the same connection, it will dynamically allocate bandwidth if there are calls being made, otherwise we get the full T1 for data.

Personal account is handy for anything other than buying/selling on ebay. i.e. grandma wants to send you cash for a birthday, I want to pay sechs for a private sale hard drive etc

Seeing how Supermicro was mentioned: http://www.supermicro.com/aplus/ Opteron speed + SuperMicro quality = goodness.

What happens is that a personal paypal account has no fees for payments received. Once they move to a business account - which a seller must have), they are charged a percentage for all payments (whether funded from a bank account or via credit card). This is generally 2.9% plus a flat fee of...

Congrats Will!

Actually ebay policy has changed recently, sellers that accept Paypal as a payment method for an ebay transaction MUST accept credit card payments (basically if they have a Personal account, and are paid via credit card, they must upgrade to a business account). So you should be able to pay...

It would be nice if they had a review with performance numbers. From what I've heard, read/write speeds aren't really anything special.

Dell has two 500GB SATA drives for around $570 with free next day shipping from Small Business, after applying $60 coupon off $500. www.bensbargains.net

Worked well for me.

Sounds like Bozo just has two desktop machines, using the same wall outlet.

Oops, forgot to mention, the 600,000+ actuation camera is a 1Ds-MkII. The only real problem we have seen with them is they sometimes "crash", i.e. they are powered on but nothing is displayed on the top LCD display. Pulling out the DC coupler for a few seconds, then re-inserting seems to...

Our client has worn out another camera, this time it failed at just over 600,000 actuations. Not bad for 3.5 months of work :) Shutter issue, sounds like the blades are damaged and jamming. Back to Canon.

From what I was reading, some of those extra pins will be used for an integrated PCI-Express controller. Socket 939 still has lasted longer than anything Intel ever dreamed of putting out.

Got an OEM Hitachi 400GB yesterday from Newegg, for use with the HD-DVR. Is it normal for them to get so hot that they can't be held for more than a sec or two? (It was sitting in an open 5 1/4" external enclosure, no active ventilation).

What is behind the hose reel? It looks sorta like a rotary spreader but the control isn't on the handlebar.

eeek, damn typos. I think there is a typo, he meant to say "than" rather than "then".

Anandtech seems to have compared the 23" HP it to the 20" 2005FPW.

"Today, the Supreme Court clarified that, even when there is evidence of a substantial non-infringing use, where evidence shows statements or actions that promote infringement, liability may be found" I think this was the key.

Guns are designed to shoot things. Clay targets, paper targets, bowling pins, even humans. Can be used for good - cop/armed citizen shoots home invader dead, or for evil - mass murder. Your MIL case could go either way :) AFAIK there has never been a successful prosecution of a gun manufacturer...

Looks good. I'm guessing the oil tank is angled to get the very last drops out? Nice size garage.

It's been working fine. You get used to 24" real quick. Personally I don't find the improvement over 1600*1200 to be all that staggering. I won't be getting another until I can get me some 30" luvin.

Eeek! I guess the question is how were they packaged? If they were ensconsed in high density foam I could see them surviving. Newegg with 3 peanuts in the box, not so good. P.S. I admire your Terabyte addiction!

Oh yeah, happy Independence Day everyone. Plans for today, barbie with a ton of grog. Just like Australia Day :)

Australia Day. January 26th The First Fleet landed in Sydney Cove in 1788 on that day.

We've had a Dell 2724 at work for a few weeks now, no issues. Run in unmanaged mode. Does have one fan but in the server room it's not audible.

Highly recommended. Nice cut, and the bag/mulch control is handy. I take back telling Tony he was nuts for spending AUS$1400 for his - he got a commercial version tho. [/img]

Yup. I guess the rectangular connecter is termed eSATA now.

Seems Home Despot trusts me enough to grant me a cardo de credito. Looks like Honda mower time :) *No payments and no interest for 6 months.

A friend of mine in Australia actually won a fully paid trip for two to Korea to see the 2002 World Cup, his wife bought a Hyundai and they had 10 winners selected from Aus.

Well the app is connecting an external SATA drive to an SA8300 HD DVR box, it can record two HD streams whilst playing back a previously recorded thrid stream with no problems, just like if the drive was internally mounted.

We've had 90F+ for the last five days, thank god for central air. Last year, there wasn't a single day over 90. Should have drier air for the holiday weekend tho.

I have a little experience with regards to standard external SATA drives (with the old-style L connectors) and interfacing to the new external SATA-2 connector (which is rectangular). Those cables are rare as hens teeth.

DVI tends to max out at 5-10m IIRC, to get longer runs you need fiber-optic versions which are mucho deniro. I can definitely see the difference between DVI and VGA at UXGA, and 1280*1024 rez (tho this is with Nvidia cards that probably don't have very good VGA output to begin with).

Got a Dell Precision 380 with 3GHz dual core, it seems to be reasonable for Abbyy OCR recognition, haven't yet tested it on RAW conversion.

Yuck, never mind, no DVI.

Acer AL1912B 19" Flat Panel Display $234 at Buy.com Perhaps last year's model?

Sounds good, but from what I've seen, insurance companies like to see that you have had previous continous coverage prior to them granting you insurance. No sustained coverage, higher premiums. You just can't win.

Nowadays a lot of insurance is determined by your credit score, bad credit + excellent driving records still = high premiums. If not having a car doesn't work out, you could try a cheaper car (a Hyundai for under $200 per month?), and that will reduce your premiums.

Give them a breakdown of how much four laser toner carts plus a maintenance kit will cost once the minimum page "starter kit" runs out. Cheaper than inkjet but still not cheap.

One of our Dell's had a DeathStar incident yesterday. Drive was clicking, no sign of revival when placed in another Dell. Called support (unfortunately not Gold). Spoke to a lady in Panama City. New drive was delivered via UPS SonicAir in one hour (4 hour support contract). Not bad at all.

That's enhanced definition (EDTV). An improvement over SD, but not much. Also, given that PAL is 576 lines, I'm wondering what kind of abortion they are doing to get that to fit in 480 lines (which is what NTSC uses). The true HD plasmas tend to use 1024*768 or similar (which works out because...

Phaser solid-ink printers are nice, but have downsides such as the inability to mark up prints due to water repellency of the wax. Our one at work is quiet when printing, but it makes a rather large amount of noise as it ejects the page into the top tray. Also it can take quite a while to warm...

I'm awaiting giagbit ethernet in the Insiporns before I go there. Many of the Latitudes have it so it won't be long. My mum got a Fujitsu Lifebook from work, very nice and light.
