Bed bugs :razz:

It is already possible: MicroCenter

If you have an old machine that seems to be running slow, my first reaction is simply defrag it. My second reaction is get more ram. Also, you need to figure out if the slowness issues have anything at all to do with the HD for it is quite possible that your old processor just doesn't have...

A LITTLE CHRISTMAS STORY When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure. Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more. When he went to...

My basic assumption is that when someone modifies their home loan, regardless of the reason, you'll end up paying for it in the end. There are lots of possible manipulations that can occur but in the end the banks win and you lose. For example, they might just allow a lower payment for a year...

You do know that he was just a man doing a job on commission. What you did didn't hurt the company at all, just the individual...

You don't need dynamic disks for that! The ability to assign a new disk to a folder (rather than a drive letter) exists in basic disks too. I also believe that you don't need a dynamic disk to extend a drive either, if that is your method of choice. All you need is NTFS beyond the original NT OS.

That has been my observation with my DIR-655 router too. I looked and mine is an A2 HW revision with 1.33NA too. Maybe they fixed something that wasn't broken with the newer revisions or maybe you just got a lemon. I empathize, for I've gotten my share of bad product too.

I have had a DLink Dir-655 revision 1 for a couple of years it is at 1.33Na and have not had any problems with it.

I'll agree that raid controllers often have that capability built in as opposed to native Windows drive support (non-usb).

I wouldn't worry about the PS as much as how well the drive can deal with power spikes and ripple that comes with using a mechanical switch on an active powered line. Further there is no gain to do it while the computer is running for normally windows won't detect a new IDE/SATA drive except...

I agree that a hot swap bay is the easy solution and relatively safe if you have a safe place to store it when not being used. If you really needed to, I suppose you could mount a switch into the case and splice it into the drive's power line. Just make sure that you only use the switch when...

It is all nice and fine to get the last possible byte out of a drive. I can easily see being obsessive just to find out what is going on. That being said, you need to ask yourself what is it worth to you. obviously a great deal but Is it worth having to switch from Windows to Linux perhaps...

I tried that HP tool just once! It killed my flash drive making it totally non-formated and non-formattable. I just swore never again...

I DL'ed and installed Vuze as my torrent program. It seemed to work fine and certainly had enough screens with changing numbers to attempt to keep my hypnotized watching them. Does it really matter what torrent client one uses? All I can say is that The first torrent I decided to DL was 175GB...

Well, I'm going to at least experiment with torrents and see if it matches my lifestyle. I'm also going to order the minimum Comcast to get local stations (i.e. news). At $12.95/month that isn't too excessive. I also ordered a cheap HDMI video card to use in an old P4 Dell that I wasn't...

Personally, I think the benefits of NTFS outweigh the missing space, but to each their own.

I agree that SSN's and credit card numbers are not morally reprehensible by themselves but publishing them would be. My point is that there are people out there that don't think it is reprehensible and will do it for their own benefit. An example, would be that at one time you could put in a...

No matter what the content, there's always someone out there that will promote it further without regard to ethics and that includes credit cards numbers and social security numbers. So the fact that they submitted them to others for review does not invalidate their moral and ethical...

Wikileaks is a collection of people, not a collection of inanimate objects. They get to choose what they publish and what they don't. So, in this case, the tool gets to be blamed for their ethical lapses.

No, I can easily argue the positive value of the tool if there is no morality or ethical values behind it. a good example would be anonymously publishing peoples SSN's or credit card numbers. I contend that if the tool is publishing content that is moral or ethically questionable then the...

I think Wikileaks may be having serious problems. Enough so, that they may not stay in existence. First it was the rape charges against their founder and chairman which sound rather trumped up but I don't know those facts. Then there was a DDOS against them which forced them to take to the...

First, yes the newspaper has a web-site but it is designed specifically to just give teasers (not any full story) to encourage paper subscriptions. I have considered an antenna but the odds are poor. I'm roughly 50 miles from the major city with all the local stations and my Apt. is at the...

Since you are not missing anything, how do you get local news and current sports? I don't see that any of streaming methods giving you those. I can probably live without sports - not a particular sports fan. But no news? In my local area the local/regional newspapers subscriptions cost more...

TVTorrents is by invite only.

How many horses does it take to pull a car up a hill? My car has the equivalent of 176 horses so that even though it weighs a lot, it can get up it relatively easily because there are 176 of them tied to the front bumper. Something like that?

I'm not seeing a way to junk everything to just stream. I see no real streaming of things like local news. I looked at hulu vs. hulu+ and I find it strangely inconvenient for the paid version doesn't contain the stuff in the free version. so one has to look in both. When I look at set top...

My cable TV has been supplied by my Apt complex. Well, as of Dec 31 they are not going to do that any more. My choices are to Stay conventional and buy into Comcast; Go for a Satellite service like DirectTV/Dish network; or go totally non conventional and subscribe to streaming services like...

SAS is SATA compatible. With SAS you can use either SATA or SAS drives interchangeably.

If one can reboot a router remotely with no security, I wonder if there isn't a command to reset a router to default settings and reboot?

I wonder how hard it would be to setup a loop and send that code to everyone on the Comcast IP network? To any govt. agency listening -- I'm just wondering out loud. If someone else does this, it is not my fault and I'm not responsible!

I'll reserve judgement to see what Microsoft comes up with as a replacement. At this point all we know is what they will be removing not what will be added. I seriously doubt that M$ wants to surrender the market.

I wouldn't dream of attempting of rationalizing the deaths there. Bad actions are clearly bad actions. That's not my point. Rather, I would merely point out some of the comparable stuff we've done and then labeled it as goodness and light to show the hypocrisy and the POV of it all. It is...

1. Wants to tax the poor and give tax credits to the rich (To grow the economy). 2. The congress has done it before and will do it again. 3. Can make the law and uses the IRS to enforce it. 4. More hungry children and families, more homeless, more working poor vs. some less rich people...

Sorry, but the number of "bad guy's" are really related to a POV definition. If you look at the US POV then anyone with different POV and thereby agenda than us is a bad GUY. By that measure, almost everyone is a bad guy the only ones that aren't are puppets. It gets only gets smaller when you...

There are lots of situations where telling the truth creates distrust. The classic one I can think of is trying to negotiate a diplomatic solution while at the same time supporting their enemies or doing something else hidden that is not liked by the party. Govt's rarely just depend upon...

To me, it looks like there is a latency issue in the game. Otherwise 10 fingers should be able to do a lot more killing. That being said, I like the form factor of the touch screen display.

I'm sorry to disagree but I think what he is doing is terribly irresponsible. It is important to know what govt's and the military are doing in general but the details kill people, and create an environment of distrust preventing diplomacy from working. There really needs to be a built in time...

Me single, so I just do it for there really isn't any choice. I'm not willing to do the Lisa Douglas (from Green Acres) method of washing (throw it out the window and buy new) and disposable paper clothing disappeared in the late 60's.

It depends if I have a specifically designed HD shipping box avail at the time. If not, then I will cross-ship just to get one. That is assuming that I'm not in a time crunch.

I just asked the question of all the salesmen I dealt with and tallied the responses. you can only blame me for reporting the small sample survey. Whirlpool and Maytag using the same manufacturing lines - I have no idea. Perhaps there is a difference in their design, or the subcontracting of...

My assumption is that he has between 8' and 12' walls and is trying to eliminate a unnecessary seam. Otherwise, I agree with you.

When did you last buy a mattress the early 1900's or was it used? I really don't know much about mattresses but I do know that they cost much more than one would expect. The only one I have bought was in the mid 1990's (about $500) and it is still going strong. I just went from store to...

I emailed them about it. That is the per drive price when you order at least 20. i.e. bad bargin.

Review of Asus' Xonar DG and Xense sound cards

Requiring LED lighting as a necessary feature... If you are that picky then there are going to be very few models to choose from and they will all be very expensive.

I've now read a lot of consumer reviews of the model from various sources. Most people like it but there is a very vocal anti group. The negatives are based on the following: The water level sensor - The lid has to be continuously shut or it doesn't work and fills to machine to its max or...

As long as I can get the BB black Friday advertisement then I don't need to because I'm actually buying at Lowe's via price-matching where it is not on sale and it is not limited to stock on hand...

There is a retail sears store, but no outlet. I started researching by visiting Sears, Lowes, and Best Buy. Best Buy had by far the best salesman. Sears had a horrible salesman that didn't listen at all and just seared towards a top-end machine. Lowe's salesman was too busy to give me any...

I looked up the price for the clutch assembly it is $189 + shipping. The question becomes $200 + labor for a used 15Y old washing machine vs. a new machine. Lifespans are inherently unknowable, and I really can't complain about a 15Y lifespan for my washing machine. So how long can I expect...
