Have you checked MS update to see if there are any updates available? Particularly driver updates.

P5 beat me to it.

On the way in to work yesterday there was a full rainbow and partial double rainbow. Traffic jam all the way in as I drive west, chasing that pot of gold.

Use buryable wire even if you don't bury it and silicone seal the wire nuts.

Did you answer your question? Would you be interested in selling?

Futher research revealed this: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6489/playing-with-op. Anand's testing of those 3 drives indicates that the most consistent IO across the drive is achieved if you intentionally do not use 25% of the accessible part of the drive. I'm still looking into whether the...

Asking the company to include some data that only they have about you goes a long way toward distinguishing from a phishing scam. Off course the insecure nature of email means it won't be long until those details are in the wild. Until locations where data is stored are locked down and secured...

What is the currently recommended cushion to require for free space when sizing a drive floor an installation? My understanding is that the overprovisioning space is not counted in the listed drive size. Are there other considerations to be accounted for special to an SSD or just treat it like a...

We're the Millers is really crude but we haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

Cool. Thanks for the feedback.

Great! I see that the height of the adapter is 25.4mm. Do you know if a drive mounted in the top spot would break the plane of the top of the adapter?

4 of the drives will go into my new Fractal Node 304 and I don't trust the 2.5" mount points. Unfortunately all the mount points are bottom mount. I don't think I can live with velcro or zip ties. This is my current top choice but I'm still evaluating...

Does anyone have a favorite model of 3.5 to 2.5" drive adapter bracket? I've seen some that are supposed to fit 2 drives per bracket, but then some reviews (Amazon) describe how hard they are to work on and how the holes were drilled to the wrong size. Stuff that doesn't show up in the specs...

Not sure if this is common outside the South but much below 30F and we have to trickle the water to keep the pipes intact. It has been years since I've had to do that. This year 3 days. Though yes, cold and dry is much easier than cold and wet.

The southland of what the hell? Is golfer's air good or bad?

715am. 6F. Feels like -7. If I've seen this kind of cold before it was that 1 work trip to MN in January.

You buying the new cat now or later?

I'm not up for alternative firmware just yet. No alternatives?

Now that my S4 has completely crashed for the first time and the only recovery method left was wipe and recover, I'm left searching for a way to make adequate backups. Luckily most of my data was synced to the cloud and the only thing I seem to have lost was my S Memos, and background and lock...

Merry Christmas!

Lunar wrote something else recently that made me think he was German. German spelling of something I think.

Rowrrr

Arrg. My diagnostics were confused by a combination illogical wiring runs, improper wiring connection at the wall, and a dummy speaker. At least I have enough of it working now. Thanks everyone for the help.

I'm looking at getting some sata to molex connectors to match a laptop hard drive to an older PSU. However there's a warning about making sure I'm not working with a hard drive that requires 3.3V. The product manual for the Momentus 5400.6 is ambiguous between sata specs and product spec as far...

I pulled a speaker out of the ceiling and have been told that all 5 speakers are the same: Insignia ns-c6500, I also took a look at the in wall volume adjusters: Sonance VC30R All of the speaker leads run into the space behind the volume knobs so I think everything is discoverable. I believe...

Sponsored by a password management site expectedly. My password used most often would take 412 years to crack and is changed every couple of months. The likelyhood that a password will be cracked is becoming much less likely than that it will be stolen as part of a database grab. It is just...

Google was pretty helpful. The procedure is much more straight forward than I thought it would be. I should have a day of in a couple of Mondays and I'll let you know what I find.

Ideally I would change as little as possible including wiring and just find something to work with what is there. I actually don't know much about the current configuration. I know that there are 6 speakers too high off the floor to get to without a tall ladder. Working on that. I know that a...

I'm working with 6 in-ceiling speakers that I know nothing about. They all run to one of 2 wall mounted volume knobs. In the previous configuration the lines continued on to a 6 line speaker switch alongside other speakers and then to an AV reciever. I may be able to get the model...

I use a combination of Sharepoint (for documetation) and SVN (for code/configs). I don't manage either though. Btw, I've not been able to get the file versioning to work in SP as well as SVN.

I think of Coug as more of a Straight dudes Skipping kind of guy.

Do you still get downgrade privileges with W8? If so I would argue that 32bit is a downgrade. Nevertheless I would love to hear the technical argument for this seemingly stupid decision.

Or more likely office 3.5.

Under My Device > Language and Input I have several language and input methods. When the Samsung Keyboard is the Default the microphone is not an option unless "Google voice typing" is selected (checked) in the input methods. If been trying to test the limits of the default keyboard before I...

Maybe. 4.3 was just made available recently so I doubt it will be any time soon.

Svoice is much better at voice recognition than the one built into the default keyboard. Is there a way to swap it out? I've not tried swype very much yet.

Is there an app that will make my S4 less laggy and crashy? Music plus nav plus charging sometimes makes it crash. Overall transitioning between apps is not as smooth as my older iphone.

Perhaps you should hire a Xmas elf. There will be many out looking for work post-Xmas in this economy.

I don't have OCD, I have CDO. Which is similar but in alphabetical order, as it should be.

I am both disgusted and enthralled. It is hard to tell which end is up.

Several of the guys in the company gym wear the Motorola S10 but I'm not sure they are discerning listeners. One point though, one guy complains that after a while it gives his large head a headache. I suppose if you are walking you can get away with wireless cans.

Merc, do you have a complete set of those computer guts you would like to sell?

Welcome!

Unplugging/replugging seated the power connections better? Related to the onset of colder weather?

I've travelled on similar roads in Ecudor and Peru. Some are one way during different times of the day.

I like the clean design, but who gives out business cards anymore?

Seems like something that could be discovered with a couple dummy drives per case pack with telemetry.

I am very impressed with the Brother range. We have been providing the 2270DW for our sales force and they just work. I've slowly been looking for something small with good Mac support to replace my Samsung at home and I like what Brother has for under $200. Especially the multiple cloud...

An SSD that has a high percentage of writes to a high percentage of the drive is the quickest road to SSD failure. Both user and manufacturer would want the drive to at least reach the end of the warranty. One way to help this is to buy a larger drive than you need and let the wear leveling...

I give my drives a good whack before I install them just to make sure any loose sub-atomic particles are off the platters and not going to interfere with the head. I must be getting all of the infant mortality drives with the failure rate I have.
