I will keep an eye on that for when they get them working on 3rd gen ipods. Till then I am just noting what a massive world of difference (positive) it is in changing from a device using win mobile 6 to ipod os 3.

Nice, I just checked for giggles and newegg doesn't list any RDRAM anymore. That should send a message you would think...

Look at it this way, reboot and go to the break room for 30 minutes. Boss sees that enough times he asks whats up so you give him the facts, its not your problem its really his to get you the tools you need to do the job. Not your fault that your tool doesn't allow you to work is the way I see...

I nuked it from orbit, I felt it was the only way to be sure. She should have it in hands today if not already.

The norco cases are pretty popular over on avsforum for building home servers, they all seem to like them.

I'm not really keeping up with this conversation but this seemed relevant: http://www.hardocp.com/news/2010/04/19/whatrsquos_old_new_again_eyefinity

I know I tried cmd several times but I don't think I tried actual command.com. That's a nice tip.

It was disguised for a reason, actually I think it is very smart to do some decent product testing. That part I like to see.

I saw that and immediately felt bad for some guy/gal, not only did they lose their phone and apparently aren't getting it back but knowing apple they just got fired and maybe worse for leaking information.

Have you actually tried the installer for win7 using that controller and disk? Maybe get lucky and find they carried the driver over, doubt it though. Or maybe start with xp x64 and do an upgrade which is really a wipe and replace? What does upgrade advisor say about that controller? May...

Interesting video, unfortunately I fly a lot for work too.

I must have had xp antivirus plus something else then because whatever it was disabled exe or any other type of executable files. Disabled task manager and just made the machine completely useless. I know the registry keys to fix the exe thing but I was looking around on the net for a way to...

Regular old fdisk /mbr you think would do it? No backup of this machine available, only thing I have is the sticker on the bottom.

Crap, I think my parents laptop has this. This is a root kit right? Deleting the partitions will get rid of that you think?

I read somewhere that they can't even write it in another language and use a translator to change to one of the approved languages, now that I thought was complete BS. I can think of a couple reasons for that but really it all comes down to the quality of the translator and the quality of the...

Wow, amazing.

If it wasn't for their practices I would have gotten one years ago.

Thanks, I will have to check into this. Do you know off the top of your head if that does turn by turn directions or is it more like the google maps implementation? Actually no incoming calls might be great. :bglaugh:

That sucks, it does seem like the Latitudes I have used for many years no longer have a serial port on them. I have a lot of apps that were rather picky about the serial port too but we got all that worked out, mostly it was just finding the right driver for the USB adapter chipsets.

Whole new meaning there when you consider GFE also means Girl Friend Experience escort.

Can also be rather loud as the drives are right there in no enclosure at all.

No do NOT want a wireless contract at this time. So basically that throws out any GPS software that needs a data plan to function. I am considering a phone without a contract but frankly ipod touch third gen 32/64gb is at the top of the list for me right now, primarily because I could do voip...

Thanks for the pictures, I'm traveling and I don't even have to ask to get the no you can't load itunes on the corporate laptop. They do ding you for the software and car kit separately, so looking at $100 plus $70 for the US and Canada I have and use now. I guess optionally on an iphone the...

Yuck, I was looking to load tomtom but apparently that is no longer available for win mobile in the US so that means I either need to learn something new or go apple. The window mount/GPS they have available works with ipod touch though. Can someone with itunes loaded hit the link here and tell...

So google maps uses the GPS chip that is built in the phone? I wasn't sure about that but if I can find a phone compatibility list out there somewhere that would cinch that part of what I am looking for. I take it the ipod touch don't have any GPS chip on board...

Is there any phone that has GPS that is usable without a service contract? My ASUS pda is reminding me it is on its last legs. Also want a decent screen and availible bookreader even if the books are only rtf or htm. Able to make calls over wifi would be really nice too. Really familiar...

Portal came up with some really neat updates a short while back and they are targeted to treasure hunters or easter egg hunters however you want to put that. New achievements, picture files encoded in sound clips, BBS, all sorts of weird stuff. Looks like some neat stuff before portal 2 comes out.

Most "games for windows" have the ability to create an offline account but they hide it behind an obscure scroll bar.

Man that's bad, but still it is the people that have failed these people not the government.

HOCP has been following the whole eyefinity thing http://www.hardocp.com/article/2010/03/24/ati_radeon_5870_2gb_3x2_eyefinity_gaming_experience http://www.hardocp.com/article/2010/03/14/first_time_gaming_experience_ati_eyefinity/

Try out one of the Grand Theft Autos, the later ones I had fun simply creating mayham on the highways exactly like this.

Well 80 sure isn't bad on a laptop, but anyway it's there and working right?

I know what you mean there but I think we have lulled ourselves into thinking that hard bristled clean feeling is good when it really isn't.

Wow, I don't get that at all.

That's a good tip, I knew the MAC counted for the score but not about the particular NIC that is in use.

I remember building one of those 110 film rockets, I don't think we got too much out of it though. Keep us posted, I wouldn't mind picking this hobby up again.

SP1 info for those that were holding out till SP1 http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2010/03/18/talking-about-service-pack-1-for-windows-7-and-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx

I have a copy of windows 98 for some old apps that only work right under that OS. I also have another copy of XP for when I want to VPN to a remote machine on a customer site and still get stuff done locally. I am mainly using VMware, the free version. I have had a couple of problems with it...

That's a really good cost/space value. After my little mistake with my movies I have a whole ton of free space though.

I second the chipset driver, sounds just like that problem. I had a similar thing only it wasn't the SATA chipset that was holding me back, it was the IDE bridge chipset even though I wasn't using IDE.

IO meter should be telling on that, is it going through a switch? I wouldn't know what a good number for this would be though. As I understand it in theory at any rate the switch can slow down IOPS, I think that's one of the reasons they want a dedicated LAN for iSCSI. Actually one of you posted...

I'm sure it will work fine. I just find it funny that those HDD caddy's have DVD and CDRW symbols on them.

How were you there if it was closed and why was it closed?

Oh joy, in trying to get the my movies dune index folder to work and my movies deleted 10 TB worth of movies. I guess I will be putting a hurting on my GGC-H20L this weekend, least that speed tip on using imgburn with anydvdhd will work out big time.

Something like this helps? http://cgi.ebay.com/Laptop-IDE-50-pin-SATA-2nd-HDD-caddy-brand-new-origin_W0QQitemZ370308009002QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCC_Drives_Storage_Internal?hash=item563813cc2a&ssPageName=RSS:B:SHOP:US:101...

If I can do that in my dell there should be a way to do it on that computer.

Hmm, noted.

Cool merc, looks like we all got through to them. Did you check and make sure they are REAL drives though?

Yeong Yang cube server case. Seriously the thing is about six years old, really a good case and came with wheels and everything. Shouldn't have a problem with my planned maximum 14 drives, I have had as many as 11 in it before. It's just funny how lost the mini ATX board on the other side is in...
