For starters, if I would bother proof reading what the hell I'm spouting off, maybe it would be a bit more readable and a bit less embarrassing. Unfortunately, I often get disrupted by the mister telephono or some other important 5-minute event that takes me away right when I'm in the middle of...

Yes, I believe I downloaded 1.7.7 a week after FireFox 1.0.3 came out. Then, a couple of weeks later, FireFox 1.0.4 came out, whch probably meant Moz 1.7.8 also followed closely -- or simultaneously -- with FireFox 1.0.4.

I've not seen any of the Star Wars movies. Actually, I once saw about 3 minutes and then later about 1 minute of what I believe was the second or third Star Wars movie. I was over at someone's house working on an old Ampeg SVT bass amplifier head (a 300 watt all-valve bass guitar amplifier)...

er... I was talking about the voltage drop on the extension cord when I was mentioning the cord's wire gauge, not its resilience to moving blades. From a selection of 12, 14, and 16 gauge wire, 12 gauge will have the lowest voltage drop over a given length of wire. Making sure the...

Yes, they shear the top of the grass blade very cleanly with their 6 or 7 blades. And, yes, you can get powered models (gasoline or electric) for a pretty hefty price. A few years back, I recall seeing either a Swedish (not Husqvarna) or Danish electric powered reel mower at some local...

Yet another bizarre audio product: "There's no speaker, but when I point this pad at you, you will hear the waterfall," said the 63-year-old Californian. And one by one, each person in the audience did, and smiled widely... http://apnews.myway.com//article/20050422/D89KHGV80.html

I know you aren't JEHH / Jason, I was just stirring up more trouble -- as usual. :eekers: JEHH was one of the top 3 reasons I permanently left Sñorage Review. The forum section at SR is plenty awash in cyber-personalities exuding advanced symptoms of Internet Illiteracy Syndrome (IIS) and...

I knew a guy about 10 years ago that had a laughable army green 1961 VW van (and still does, I believe -- had about as much horsepower as a lawnmower) that regularly drove in the High Occupancy Vehicle lanes (HOV) all by himself. To drive in the HOV lanes, you are supposed to have a total of at...

Yep, Areca. They're just one of a number of small aggressive Taiwanese companies that crank out some nifty mainstream products as well as highly useful niche products that the big guyz (like Adaptec) don't want to bother with -- or never even thought of in the first place...

Definitely not vapourware, but also *still* not available in the retail channel -- yet. Maybe that'll change soon. I wouldn't mind seeing a RAID-0 and RAID-5 shootouts between the NetCell and 3Ware's best. SEAGATE, NETCELL TO SHOW EASY-TO-USE, HIGH-PERFORMANCE EXTERNAL SERIAL ATA STORAGE...

er... Rochester is definitely west of Syracuse... Like if you are heading to Boston from Rochester on I-90 (I have done this more than once), you will drive by Syracuse about an hour later as you are heading eastwards towards B-Town.

And, one could argue that much of the "music" they have isn't even music. I believe MTV1 uses about 5 ~ 10% of the broadcast schedule for playing music videos and fills the rest of their schedule with an assortment of heinous program material. MTV2 uses about 60% of the broadcast schedule...

Although this is really several-weeks-old news, you have to take notice when you see such news articles appear more than a few times in a relative short period. Some of you probably recall me sounding the trumpets on occasion during the past 5 or 6 or 7 years about the significance of...

It's been in the plans for a while now, but there won't be any more "large" increases in read/write transfer speeds with succeeding generations of LTO. What you will get, instead, will be the expected doubling of storage capacity, a slight increase in operational reliability, new utility...

It doesn't really matter. Otherwise, I believe some benchmarks show the new 15K.4 generation to be marginally slower than the 15K.3. But, then again, 146 GB 15K.3 drives don't exist. Hence: The 15K.4 is a lot more about capacity than a performance bump. I'd go for a 15K.3, if they are...

Locally, we should begin experiencng the annual blizzard of migrating Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan residents starting around the first week of December lasting through late February. White geese above and vehicles of hominids on the surface.

One thing for sure, you definitely want to have a graphics card with a digital output (15-pin DVI connector). Feeding one of these an analogue signal is a compromise. If you need to situate the monitor a bit far from the CPU, you should invest in a longer DVI cable and not mess with adapting...

Is this too hard of a trivia question??? Apparently. OK, one last hint: The second letter in his last name is a vowel (A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y). Recapping: 1.) US presidential candidate whose official residence is Houston, Texas. 2.) His last name has 4 letters _ _ _ _...

Jeez... Still no winners? OK, another hint, then. There's also a "B" in his last name.

There aren't any notebooks with SCSI (there were a few aeons ago, like the first Apple doorstop, or the hyper-expensive early Tadpole/Sun notebooks). There are a few SATA notebooks. But, of course, SATA is not upwardly compatible with SAS, so that won't work. Eventually, all notebooks -- just...

...which is about when the 500 GB NL35 model will start to trickle out (but not in ATA / SATA until a while later). The 400 GB 7200.8 is a "desktop" drive, whereas the NL35 model is an "enterprise" model, meaning the NL35 and the MaxLine will be competitors in the behemoth class for corporate...

Goldwave V5.08 is plenty adequate for the casual editing job, but some may find that Goldwave's US$50 Multiquence multi-track editor (only costs US$7.00 more that regular Goldwave) gives them exactly what they want with the ability to mix between sets of stereo tracks...

What's a Taximcam Controller?

Yes, that's it. I think I've made that mistake before saying that the Adaptec 2010S is a 1-channel RAID processor; it is capable of utilising the both of the Ultra320 channels of the Super X5DA8 mobo. http://yycase.com/products/yy0221.htm I wish you had said in those earlier threads that...

OK! Here's my entire audio compact disc collection. I'm posting it for informational / educational / discussional purposes only! None are for sale, and... erm... I'm not gonna burn copies of anything either. I dumped all my vinyl LPs back during the 1982 ~ 1984/5 time frame. Then, as they...

I met up with Leo K. almost 30 years ago ('77 / '78-ish). I did an interview with him. Anyway, I recall that he was out promoting his "Burnt Lips" album at the time, because I recall bringing back a box of 20 promo LPs to the radio station. I believe I've known of him since about '73 or so...

None of them are going to see LS-120 drives as a floppy drives, since they aren't connecting to the conventional floppy port. However, if you have a full featured BIOS, you can set the BIOS to have ATAPI floppy devices to be emulated as a floppy drive. Using Supermicro's BIOSes, I can have...

"Wardriving" of course! 8) Unless someone is a incorrigible tinker or something, I don't see why a beefy notebook computer with an adequate charging unit wouldn't be the best thing. In an ordinary automobile, desktop mobos and hard drives are going to take up too much room.

Nearly any tabletop tripod will double as a chest tripod. As long as the overall length -- with legs folded together -- is short enough, with the camera mounted to the tripod and the legs simply rest upon your chest for stability. With some tripods, you can also unfold the legs somewhat for...

Whenever I have gone on photo shoots in the woods, I usually do NOT go with a normal tripod. Tripods are typically more trouble that they are worth in the woodlands. Instead, I might take my "deep woods gear" setup, of which the camera supports consist of my small Soligor tapletop tripod...

Battery Life? There has been and still is a decent niche market for "portable" computing, as in portable worstations. In place of that tepid little 2-1/2" hard drive and the battery, I wouldn't mind having a solid-performing 160 ~ 250 GB 3-1/2" SATA hard drive! Something like this would...

In the case of Crucial, their parent Micron, makes the RAM for their DIMMs. The others can be anyone from Samsung to Infineon to Toshiba. I can tell you that don't like Kingston RAM. I have used Crucial and Viking DIMMs with success. Yes, the er... impedance is the same for both busses...
