There is not a thing wrong with Mister Ed. Nothing.

I just read the original raving lunatic review of the amp; it sure looks to be a con job (amp worth U$40). By the way, the R-E-A-L audio power rating for the T-Amp integrated amplifier (that's a power amplifier and a preamplifier integrated) should be 6 watts, not 15 watts. No...

There are also USB vibrator/dildo things. :o

Well, I'm going to have to deduct 10 points for that one! Just a note to those who have complained about mathematics courses: If you ever get the chance, you should take a look at the textbooks that were used to teach Calculus back in the 1800s or even in the 1900s before about 1950 or so...

Or a dozen years before that -- walking into a store in Austin, TX called "PC's Limited." This was where Dell started off. The computers were called PC's Limited. The name changed around 1990 or so after the first billion or two revenue was made.

With drives of this type, recording density -- ala Perpendicular -- should elevate the sustained read/write transfer rate appreciably, thus re-gaining most of the performance that would be otherwise lost. Still, seek and access will unavoidably suffer at 4.2k RPM. A monster track cache on...

Hitachi Global Storage Technologies has introduced a 2.5-inch hard drive with several features that company executives predict will make it a leading contender in several segments of the notebook market, as well as the consumer electronics market... The 4,200 rpm Hitachi Travelstar 4K120 hard...

FUJITSU, LSI LOGIC, SUPERMICRO AND BELL MICROPRODUCTS DELIVER FIRST SERIAL ATTACHED SCSI SOLUTION San Jose, CA, June 22, 2005 – Bell Microproducts (NASDAQ: BELM), a leading value-added provider of storage products and solutions, today announced that it will deliver small form factor (SFF)...

...The suspension must provide a force on the slider in a direction into the disk to counteract the upward aerodynamic forces of the air bearing that cause the slider to "take off" from the disk surface. This force must act precisely in the proper location or a twisting force (torque) will be...

Before we dive into this, it's worth dwelling on a few issues that may be of concern to anyone wanting to actually build one of these things: It's not cheap, but you can use this as a template for building a less pricey system. Availability of the Athlon 64 X2 4800+ -- or any part based on...

Seagate Readies Shift To Perpendicular Recording Nearly all of Seagate's products will use perpendicular recording technology by the end of 2006 ...The announcement represents the clearest indication yet of a widespread shift to perpendicular recording by the hard-disk drive industry, and...

LAKE FOREST, Calif. - July 26, 2005 - Western Digital Corp. (NYSE: WDC) today introduced the most reliable high capacity Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives for server and network-attached storage applications. Meeting the 24x7 demands of enterprise environments, WD Caviar RE2 hard drives employ...

...and, there's taxation levied at every stage along the way. :lol:

Not only am I too lazy to dig up information on Maha's batteries, I guess I'm also going blind, or no longer responsible enough to write down important numbers and such about something that might be worth investigating. So, 2500 mAH it is. Otherwise, the only Maha I'm familiar with are...

One other thing I forgot to mention in ll my rambling above was that: First, let me coin a couple of phrases here "OSX86" and "MacX86." The name OSX86 differentiates the X86 version of OSX from the PowerPC version of OSX, and MacX86 is obviously an X86 Macintosh. A definite advantage for...

you should first become well aCquainted with... Argh! I suspect I need to learn how to spell a bit better... Anyway, I'm thinking that my extension cable could be 12 gauge, as I'm recollecting that the common extension cords come in 12, 14, and 16 gauge (3-conductor variety).

Self-powered mechanical mowers are still very much available -- and can be found for dirt cheap (i.e. -- Made In China) if you know where to go. These are much better suited for cutting Bermuda or rye grasses than t-o-u-g-h St. Augustine. If you wanted to tackle St. Augustine with one of...

Hmmm... I can't believe I'm saying this, but, I actually LIKE Mozilla 1.7.7 Suite for the most part! It's not nearly as clunky as it was some time back.

The last I heard, the phosphorescent OLED was poised to take leadership away from other OLED variants -- especially in power consumption.

If you are absolutely certain that none of the drives have actually "failed," then I would completely delete all arrays in the configuration and then rebuild them O-N-L-Y by adding the existing drive members back to the array in the same order as they were before. In other words, you want to...

I believe I meant Extreme versus Ultra II (i.e. -- the write throughput speed). I have not really kept up with what SanDisk is doing with their product line. I faintly recall reading a press release several months ago (mid-2004) about the Ultra III, but I was likely mistaken, and it was...

Fourth'd, except... Two sticks of 256 MB PC3200. 512 MB of RAM is more than enough for the average user. Someone doing non-linear video editing or a depraved gamer would get more out of 1 GB of RAM. The savings will pay handsomely towards the DVD writer. If one wanted to splurge here, it...

About 30 or so years ago, the whole state of Maine was in the Atlantic Time Zone along with New Brunswick, Laborador, Nova Scotia, and PEI.

This was the reason Presidents Nixon, then Carter (all back in the '70s) decided to extended Daylight Saving Time to a year-round event. Boy, did that sukc! Otherwise, DST has been around for over a hundred years. And to make things worse, a stuck sundial continues to be correct all the time.

Come on now! Even my little 7 year old niece has one on backorder; required for some genome projekt the kiddies are doing down at the schoolhaus.

Would it please you if they called it the Sechsium? :lol:

I'm surprised the Pentium 5 name never emerged when the HyperThreading architecture was implemented. Oh well... here comes the Sextium I guess :lol: Intel Plans to Drop Pentium Moniker Intel Corp.'s Pentium 4 brand, its flagship desktop processor since 2000, will be retired with the...

With the exception of the stand, it looks a lot like the radiator that was in my Yamaha FZR-750 (that I had back in the late '80s / early '90s).

Powered by Adaptec's Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) RAID Controller and RAID 6 Software, IBM's New xSeries 366 will be the Industry's First Available Adaptec SAS-based Server... "We have worked closely with IBM in their transition from Ultra320 SCSI to faster, more cost-effective SAS technologies...

It isn't mentioned very often, but be aware of the 2 TB SCSI limitation. This applies even if you are using SATA or PATA drives because RAID host bus adapters and their drivers commonly emulate SCSI host bus adapters. The 2 TB limitation also means that the total number of partitions on a...

There have actually been sonic (i.e. -- not electromagnetic radiation) waves observed in space somewhat recently.

Only problem is that there's a totally silent piece of music by John Cage called 4'33" -- well not totally silent, as you can hear the keyboard cover opening and closing 3 or 4 times. The sheet music is measure after measure of full rests. A recording artist (Mike Batt, if I recall the name...

I'm no expert, but I thought UC Davis had programs in all these areas -- and then some. There's always Fresno State if things don't work out. :o OK, I'm only kidding about Fresno. :D

I saw a rattlesnake in the hills in your area once, back in 1990, when I was walking on a trail in the greater El Cajon / Santee area. :eek4: It was a small fat timber rattler.

I haven't the slightest idea what program GF is trying to enter, but UCSF is a pretty worthless place to go -- unless you're doing medical. Everything about going there costs far too much. If it's non-medical, UC Davis or maybe UC Santa Cruz would be the better choices for a UC campus in...

Absolutely NONE of your SCSI hard drives should have any jumpers installed whatsoever. Once they are installed into the drive carriers, just plug them into consecutive slots starting with the first one. Just to make it absolutely clear what's going on, only plug one drive in at a time for...

Hardly. They are designed and built primarily for the technical workstation, server, industrial, and telecomm marketplaces. It's too bad Supermicro is so tied to Intel. I would like to see Opteron products from them. If I had seen your topic earlier, I would have told you that it probably...

During their first few months of operation, in 1980/81, MTV only had about 50 or 60 videos to broadcast. These were videos the staff scrounged up that were originally done for the BBC in the late '70s up to about 1980/81, recent video projects that were being done by independent bands, and...

Just a bit of absurd humour on my part. But, I wouldn't be surprised if eventually some transportation minister somewhere the highly regulatory French government realised one day that there were no signs posted on the bridge saying "No Fishing Allowed" (or "Peche Interdite") and had them...

Actually, I would generally avoid using that feature, only because if you ever wear out that little switch on the monitor, it could be mighty expensive to fix -- not to mention you would be without a monitor. If you only have one computer on at a time, the monitor should sense which input is...

I have a really large "extreme telephoto" lens -- as in Nikon F-mount. I use it with my Nikon F, F3, D100. I only use it for nature photography. This lens is far too large and heavy, so the lens mounts directly to the tripod, which for me is normally a large Bogen 3036 tripod with 3047 pan...

Oh yes you are. We've been tracking the scurrilous trail of icons and avatars you've been scattering all across this Internet. We're onto your plan.

No, PCI-X is definitely not kludge someone dreamed up overnight. The evolution of PCI from 32-bit / 33 Mhz clock was a well-planned evolution that began in the early 1990s. Exactly how the evolution transpired, was a bit different than what Intel planned. Certain vendors bumped the clock...

ULTRAVIOLET 275-395nm Gallium Nitride LED I must emphasize, protect your eyeballs when using any one of these LEDs. You only get one set of eyes - and if you wreck them, you can't just go down to the local seven-eleven and buy a can of them. Here is one simple way you can do this: Most...
