Not USB but equally ridiculous: http://gizmodo.com/5549838/the-stupid-way-of-making-a-diy-desk-fan

One thought; could we allow editing in just the for sale section? I just reported a handful of posts because I am getting a lot more spam than usual lately and found my email across many forums via google. Every other forum I just edited the old post. It's pretty handy to be able to edit for...

Does that samsung not have PCL or are there some specs missing from the page? I was looking at some samsung printers but the reviews were saying that paper jams were common, especially with the duplexers which is something I would really like to save paper.

Noticed recently that anydvd 6642 and now 6646 both rip straight to iso faster than older versions. 6646 now shows a speed in addition to the time on the rip window too, not sure when they added that but now my same drive usually gets a BD disk ripped in under an hour. anydvd really seems to be...

I wouldn't know where to get the unbuilt connectors. I half heatedly put in some key words at digikey and didn't turn up much. Monoprice actually turned up some completed stuff so I would say that a spool of wire and getting personal with a soldering iron is the best bet. Consider going up one...

I think you want to go 2x2gb unless you want to step down the speed. Going to be less likely to OC with all dimms populated.

Really interesting video, pretty much sums up why I stay where I am. I don't make a lot of money but but I have more than I need and I have minimal management inteference. It's really obvious when I bump heads with other areas of the company that don't hink that way and I have to conform. I am...

To bleed the air why not put in a T fitting at the high point and have a hose just run up six inches to a stopper? All you have to do is get the majority of the air out, if a little air gets stuck in this high portion, than that's OK as it will just park there out of the way. Its weird but most...

You have something else lined up. I don't like the quitting at all but I am generally excited about getting to the new place.

Also whats the budget on this, seems expensive? I would not mind quieter but the price holds me back.

Is there a power supply on that list? That and the video card have to be the loudest things I have.

Portal is now free and apparently works on macs http://store.steampowered.com/freeportal/ Portal has seen some neat changes lately.

HD-DVD support was removed around 9 somewhere, it was in there for a little while and some warez patches have the ability to add it back in from what I see.

Interesting, I will have to keep looking for their updated post on vibration. I found the video I was thinking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDacjrSCeq4 Kind of wondering how those drive pods with an integrated high speed fan on the back fair when that fan vibrates a bit. Lower...

I totally don't get the no contract cell phone prices when you can get a 32gb iPod touch for $266. Transmitter and licensing can't cost a couple hundred dollars. I might have gone droid if the no contract phones were priced sanely. Mubs, do electronics there generally cost that much more?? Or...

That may be the article I was revering to, maybe it was a video? At any rate the sound isolating enclosures should do the same I think. If the sound doesn't come out it doesn't go in either.

Just spotted this this morning, I didn't realize they were this affordible now. http://i.engadget.com/2010/05/11/the-home-depot-takes-led-lighting-mainstream-with-20-bulbs/

I think we all knew this sense the post about someone screaming at hard drives kills read/write speeds but here it is: Vibration Is Killing Hard Drive Speeds http://gizmodo.com/5535177/vibration-is-killing-hard-drive-speeds

It is all FM200 nowadays. Never are you locked in a room and there are always abort switches at every exit and at certain distances around any room using it.

To follow to some goth club.

Hmm no wonder power DVD 9 asks me to update every time I launch it now...

That's some serious laptop, a lot more power than I would want to lift and Cary around though. Nice to see stuff like that pop up in costco.

I viewed the post but I didn't click the links they posted, I was all like no effin way. Anyway still doing a good job keeping the spam down, thanks.

The Scuthe sflex SFF92D are pretty far from quiet in my WHS machine. They push a lot more air than the vantec stealth SF9225L I pulled because I felt weren't moving enough air. Model: S-FLEX SFF92D Air Flow: 54 CFM Fan Speed: 2500 RPM Noise Level: 33.3 dBA over twice as loud Power: .20A...

That is a pretty bad coincidence. Mine didn't make a screeching noise either and I wouldn't assume it would after looking at these bearings. They did make a moaning noise though, really low pitch. As far as my fix goes I didn't see any wear, just lack of grease/oil on the shaft so I fixed that...

I read somewhere that these fans have a pretty high rate of failure. They were saying it was limited to the 120mm models, which I agree with as I have four and two locked up on me in my p180. I had six more 92mm ones in my server and they never had a problem. What it was is there is a lack of...

Oh, looks like msft sort of agrees. http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/30/microsoft-weighs-in-the-future-of-the-web-is-html5/

Can't find it now but some blog somewhere posted apples adobe statement and replaced all "flash" with "apple" and "flash" with "closed" which resulted in a pretty entertaining read where much rang true.

Little bit of a response already. Adobe's CEO: Jobs' Flash letter is a 'smokescreen' for 'cumbersome' restrictions http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/adobes-ceo-jobs-flash-letter-is-a-smokescreen-for-cumberso/

I use them all the time, I'm sure that someone will fill the gap.

I like it, maybe now we can get a decent tablet from HP http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/hp-buys-palm/

Still not exactly a surprise when they have done the same thing for the last three years at least right? I'll try to watch just to see if there are any veiled references to the whole lost phone thing. I'm going to guess there is zero mention where others could make light of the situation with a...

I also read somewhere that a guy buried a 55 gallon drum about 10 feet down to do the same thing.

Look it over, is it one of the ones with a portable version offer? I never tried that but apparently it is a download or something so you can load it on a phone.

I am not really wowed by this thing but it is a step in the right direction I guess, or at least it should do until they get some more performance in their cores. http://www.anandtech.com/show/3674/amds-sixcore-phenom-ii-x6-1090t-1055t-reviewed/1

That one said discontinued, this is the replacement. Superconducting now. http://www.compactappliance.com/SHP1701B-Avanti-1.7-Cu-Ft-Superconductor-Refrigerator-Black/SHP1701B,default,pd.html I hate noisy fridges, I usually have to unplug the ones in hotel rooms.

Too bad, I was thinking just the other day it might be a nice thing to do some bourbon plant tours down there.

Frigged if I know.

Well yes and no, there's that plus a story some where that explains the die area for the current chips is HUGE which drastically reduces the yield. What I got out of it is even a smaller process won't significantly improve things. They are also running into the whole bad design leading to...

They are doing something wrong with their chip design so that the fab yield is really really low. Happening for a while now.

fix "Adobe acrobat has a built in javascript interpreter" Now the rant is valid.

Interesting on the 98 support there. On the UPS thing, I guess minimum requirements just don't mean anything at this point...

Pretty much. Should this go in the iphone thread or the twitter thread? http://twitpic.com/1hjhmv

Looks like google maps nav is on the way http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/04/23/google-navigation-coming-to-the-iphone-and-other-mobile-platforms/ But then I guess they changed their minds http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/04/23/google-to-iphone-users-no-free-navigation-for-you/

Nice bonus there merc. I'm not liking all the extra marketing emails from egg recently, like the shell shockers but I don't like the ones reminding me about shopping cart abandonment or the dumb "based on" ones. Must have turned off amazon as I don't get anything from them.

Did you get tracking info?

After the reinstall on my parents laptop I was pleasantly surprised how it performed, Dell Inspiron 1150 (Celeron 2.60GHz, 512MB, 40GB). I thought it was going to be a complete dog but default dell XP and firefox was just fine. Merc, are you assuming that those software licences are OEM and...

Damn, I didn't notice the cigarettes part. Both really cool movies in my book.
