What do you use them for - hotswap?

Current Realtek NICs support TCP checksum offload, and of course everything supports WOL these days.

Memo to self: do not get into pissing contest with Lunar without first taking out flood insurance. :o

Ironically, that seems to be covered by your section (g): matters relating to population and housing. So you don't recognize any law that isn't already part of the constitution? That must make for an interesting life.

That's what I was referring to, not the earlier sentence. Employment surveys are sometimes/often done in sets - it's good for spotting trends, which is their main value.

You're badly misinformed. The ABS (Australian Bureau of Statistics) runs surveys all the time, including exactly the same type as MaxBurn is a subject of. How do you think Unemployment statistics are produced? I'm pretty unimpressed with people's attitude overall here, you all need to think...

Something missing?

You're wrong on all counts. The headcount is just one of their mandated functions, and they simply prefer not to prosecute for non-compliance, particularly in the case of private individuals. The relevant US Code states: TITLE 13 > CHAPTER 7 > SUBCHAPTER II > § 221. Refusal or Neglect to...

Mubs, how about the Samsung R508? With a Pentium Core 2 but without Windows, it appears to sell for about Rs 24000.

I stand by that statement, and would add that it also has an excellent SAR score. It's also by far the most popular Android phone, so there will be heaps of support for it for quite some time to come.

It's not a country, it's an island in Indonesia.

My god - you meant literally!

This one's more impressive: http://camelegg.com/product/N82E16822152245

$260 today at Newegg, $279 for me. It's been just 3 weeks; Apocalypse is right.

Well, it worked for me, but I was using 2.5" USB-powered drives, not an auxiliary-powered device like yours. My point was that enough people had problems for Renesas to stick an override kludge in their driver, controlled by a checkbox.

The latest driver (2.0.32) from Asus is actually quite old, from last year in fact. You need a newer version such as 2.1.27, from Station-Drivers or Intel. 2.1 adds an option to disable power saving mode, which fixes the loss of connection. I haven't checked to see if Renesas (formerly NEC) has...

Very useful, thanks CougTek. I notice that the top two bang per buck cards are the ones I recently recommended in the Affordable Graphics Cards thread. :p Also, AMD cards are cheaper than stated in the article, while Nvidia cards may even be more expensive, so the value proposition is a lot...

Which USB 3.0 host adapter do you have?

Apparently. Whoever came up with that obviously skipped the last 100 years of learning in radio frequency communications. Little things like spectrum availability and congestion spring to mind - stupid laws of physics.

The only realistic solution I can see is to buy a cheap netbook with a big battery, such as the Toshiba Mini ($250), and run Fingerprint on it.

No wonder you don't have an avatar - your head wouldn't fit in the frame. :-P He's right, Bozo. Here is a clearer source of information.

I'm not a 3 o'clock shadow kind of guy, but I need to shave every 24 hours in a business environment. It's compounded by my uneven hair growth - after 3 days, in my wife's words, I look like a desperado. Having said that, my current circumstances mean I can limit shearing to about 3 shaves a...

Based on the described usage patterns and the 2.5GB RAM limitation of CS2, Photoshop will spend too much time bogged down in swap to see much benefit from faster filter processing. As Sechs says, you need to upgrade Photoshop (hence my link), making it 2.5 or 3.5 on the priority list -...

Sechs, excellent point and a great link. So there's really not much point in Adcadet upgrading the CPU, is there? Is this $160 CS5 upgrade any good?

Chewy: Second bullet point in this Wikipedia article says: Shared L3 cache includes the processor graphics (LGA 1155) Second last paragraph of first page of this Lost Circuits article says: In the case of Sandy Bridge, this is the last level cache or LLC that takes over as local frame buffer...

I'm not aware of any limitations using HD2000 for Photoshop - AFAIK Photoshop didn't even use 3D acceleration until CS4. Keep your powder dry, you very probably don't need a separate video card. In 3D acceleration terms, the 5450 is comparable to HD3000. Chewy, I'm under the impression that...

Photoshop benchmark for 127 different CPUs That's the maximum improvement you'll see by changing CPUs only. However, in normal use, other aspects of the system can make Photoshop seem slow. You haven't spelled out which version of Windows you're running, i.e. XP, Vista or Windows 7, 32-bit or...

SOLVED Confirmed, it's a DNS problem with 3.1.5. It has mainly manifested as very slow operation. This thread discusses the solution, along with some querying of WTF Google has done here. I didn't bother with OpenDNS - just changed the DHCP server to point directly to our ISP's DNS servers and...

Thanks. The affected phones are running version 3.1.5 of the Market app. Some searching suggests it may be a DNS issue. I'll report back later.

What version of the Market app do you guys have? I've noticed that this app automatically updates itself every time you run it - you can't stop it. On my phone that works, it's still 2.something. That's also the factory default on the newer phones, but they're actually running 3.something...

Shipping is $10. ;) For the Canon I linked to. It's color, it's a laser so it will be trouble-free, and the specs say it can do a color page scan in 6 seconds. In my country, it sells for triple that price and more. If you want a printer that will be ready to print despite leaving it for weeks...

That's just you. :p

Are you on 2.3? I did all that and much more, but no download ever got past displaying the progress bar. It's completely broken.

Okay, that's a bit non-specific. It's restrained considering the amount of time I wasted thanks to this sh*tty company and their half-assed software, not only today but many other days (and nights). Specifically, Android Market appears to have had an on/off problem for at least two years...

Yeah, eight 15,000 rpm 40mm fans ...

For color, I doubt you could beat Canon MF8050Cn, half-price for $250. This is a tank (>30kg!) that should last forever; only thing missing I can see is a duplexer. There's heaps of B&W solutions around $150; I'd pick whichever brand makes it easiest and quickest to capture a scan. The Samsung...

Catalyst Control Center for AMD/ATI and NVidia System Tools for Nvidia. I found this generic solution, but I haven't tried it.

Prices are up an average of 50% here already. This is serious sh*t. :(

Just to reinforce BBB's post, it's worth remembering that bulging capacitors are a symptom of a systemic problem. You cannot determine if capacitors are okay by visual inspection, but if at least one is bulging, you can tell that the board is stuffed or likely to become so. I'd say it is a...

I find my left one hangs lower.

I warned about data roaming charges in an earlier post. But this bill for $201,000 takes the cake. Note that it was run up with just 2 weeks roaming in Canada, with fairly standard charges of $10/MB. This is why in the iPhone Syndrome thread, I muttered about sticking with a Blackberry if you...

I'm sympathetic to Picard's position. I think it will be a few years yet before LEDs become ubiquitous in lighting. It's worth remembering that there's a considerable difference between leading edge technology and what can be mass produced and installed for a low cost. There's actually an...

The FM1 motherboard you linked to in your first post has a parallel port header. Intel H61 motherboards often have a parallel port header, or even an actual parallel port. Nothing since from Intel. The last motherboard I can find - either AMD or Intel - that still had both a parallel port header...

There's been a surprising amount of water under the bridge since this thread was last updated. The big news was in much improved integrated GPU-CPU solutions, starting with Intel's Sandy Bridge and particularly the handful of chips with HD3000 (eg. i5-2500K and i7-2600K). Then AMD upped the ante...

The standard Android email client won't download attachments unless you explicitly touch them.

AFAIK, 4G doesn't have enough coverage to be useful. In the sort of built-up areas where you're likely to find it, you're probably also able to access WiFi. For light usage as you describe, I feel 10MB per day should cover it, provided you're not downloading large email attachments. If you can...

Yup.

Isn't the Viewsonic Pro8200 the model intended for home theater rather than the Pro8400? It has a 7-segment color wheel instead of 5-segment, longer lamp life and a light output and contrast ratio more suited to a home than a conference venue. Stereodude, they're quiet enough (27dB in Eco...

The best phone for email is still a Blackberry, particularly if you plan to use it in other countries - data roaming costs for other phones can be horrendous. If that's not an issue, then get the phone with the biggest screen. Personally, I think the combination of screen quality...

You can use ANT+ on Sony Ericsson Android phones. An X10 mini would be ideal as a bike monitor.
