Amazon has enough good will built up with me that I just pulled the trigger. Worst case, they will make me pay shipping on a return. Now I have to track down a new soundcard to go with it.

It's almost $300 cheaper at Amazon. Amazon is $150 cheaper than what Crutchfield and Onecall are. Amazon is awesome.

I liked the Marantz SR6005, though the shop I visited expected me to pay retail for it.

Nope. The simple truth is that if it's a default Outlook behavior, it's probably wrong.

Apparently, they want istuff and law textbooks. Things that go together. Obviously.

So Chewy, how is Kolob?

You don't go to Pirates of the Caribbean for any other reason than to see Enlightenment-age stuff asplode and to watch Johnny Depp act goofy while it happens.

Reply at the bottom, or reply after quote is proper formatting. It pisses me off, too. I've bitched about it here before. It's particularly annoying when Outlook users tell me that the way I reply is incorrect.

Sending RMAs to Seagate apparently has a lot in common with the best kinds of porn.

You can also call them. In the past I've had better luck doing that.

That seems pretty reasonable, food-wise. I think it might be better not to speculate how keeping a person in this fashion will make you back your three thousand moosebucks.

If you go by what those wacky christians' holy book says, when judgment day comes only 144000 people will be found worthy. So it might have happened and the rest of the believers just weren't good enough. They'll all be enjoying the locusts and boiling seas with the rest of us.

I believe it essentially does the same thing as running IE on Vista/7 (reduced privilege mode), and that a majority of malware exploits are in no way hampered by that.

That is no moose. That is one of literally tens of horny Canadian girls gone wild!

I blame it on the IPO.

Now Coug is disparaging the Canadian racks. :(

There's one on Ogden Avenue just off 294 that I've been meaning to visit anyway.

Denon, Marantz and Onkyo all seem to have very good products with comparable features at around $900. It doesn't look to me like there's much gain to be had by moving up over the $1000 mark. I don't really give a crap about 802.11 or ipod support. Hopefully I'll get a chance to make a...

Maybe in 2013, LM will be at last be able to acknowledge the unshorn beauty of Canada's fine native girls.

Honestly, if my arrays were doing something like that, what I would do is recreate the arrays and restore from backup. Most of the time the *nix way would be to find the problem and fix it and if you can stand to have 6TB of your stuff offline there's probably a fun project in figuring out what...

Not that I could find, but there's a fiber optic cabling standard for damned near everything. On the other hand, why not just go with the path of least resistance and do Fiber Channel in the first place?

Gas could be $8 a gallon and for the most part everybody in the US who has positive cash flow would still be buying exactly the same amount of it. Maybe teenagers would go back to riding bikes. Upon consideration, $8/gallon gas is probably a good step toward jtr's utopia. :)

I'm generally not using the super-low end ones. There are some really crummy ones that are made out of solid air (much like the PSU Tannin linked to, which apparently weighs 0kg if the specs page is to be believed), and there are modest and unassuming mid-range models. HEC has a nice, reliable...

The top-tier PSUs weigh 50% more than the middle guys. Black paint and gold trim must be very heavy.

Does SMART actually monitor anything useful for SSDs?

Amazon's cloud is just a storage device. It's actually a nice thing to have, since prior to its release, Amazon did not allow purchasers to re-download purchased digital tracks, but files that are on an individual's cloud can be re-downloaded.

I'm not sure where you guys are getting love for FSP power supplies. I seem to toss them pretty regularly. They're not PSUs that I buy, just the ones that happen to be in machines that I service. I see them in lots of OEM machines. And then I take them out and replace them with whatever I've...

Firefox should do a thing where it releases memory that is allocated for tabs you're not immediately using. As I understand things, the biggest issue with poorly coded flash applets has something to do with demanding to be refreshed too many times per second or something. Youtube really isn't...

They're SSDs. They're legitimately faster. And they're what's available now.

Actually, there's an offline Gmail doohickey you can install on your computer to provide full access to email without an internet connection, if you need something like that.

I'm genuinely not a big fan of Gmail's web interface, which is why I prefer to deal with Thunderbird or elm or something else to begin with. I like having a place to forward E-mails so that I don't have to work to maintain an internet-facing IMAP server of my own, but Gmail itself is...

re: Outlook in non-Exchange deployments, there is a not-insignificant population of users who are simply convinced that Outlook is the thing to use for E-mail. There is no reason for this, other than the fact that it's the tool provided with Office, and MS Word and Ms Excel are also The Things...

You misspelled "sheep", I think.

It's not Incredimail that's directly at fault. I've installed it and immediately run malware scans without result. I think it's more that the kind of person who installs Incredimail is the kind of person who uncontrollably collects malware anyway while they're finding new shiny stuff to click on.

Buck has a reason for his particular bias. And there's certainly no evidence that he's NOT a sociopath.

It should be noted that if Exchange is set up, configuration for a standard Outlook client is limited to either typing in server, username and password, or it's configured as part of one's profile by default and no one has to type anything in.

I've had luck with Samsung drives that varies between very good and truly excellent. In a bad year I might RMA 2% of the Samsung drives I've purchased for sale. I've likewise had good luck with Hitachi, though I buy those drives in much smaller quantity and I will admit I've had some DOA...

You could do roasted red peppers.

Well #3 would go along perfectly well with those who attribute positive outcomes to storing data on Western Digital products and/or using them to build some form of barrier.

I'm talking first two Little Pigs bad, here.

Sub-par construction material.

Only a sociopath would suggest that WD is acceptable for anything other than construction material.

I have invented a new vaguely pizza like food. I use a little flour tortilla, some chopped spinach, raw onions, jalepenos, some hummus and pine nuts. I think there's maybe 175 calories in one and it's fairly flavorful.

Take your antipsychotics, doofus.

My personal belief is that any who says they've had a positive experience with Western Digital products as storage media is either lying or needs to up their chlorpromazine dosage.

I do recall seeing that before. I believe it was linked from Digg.com. It's interesting that those guys claim Hitachi as the most reliable and the hardware.fr guys claim it's the least. Regional variations? Or just a change with more recent models?

I've noticed that Centos seem to be taking longer and longer to catch up with releases of RedHat, which is a cause for some concern. I'm worried that Centos as a project isn't all that healthy. I did finally slap an i3-2100 together and load FreeBSD on it. I don't really have much to report as...

Hardware RAID usually abstracts the array(s) as a single volume presented to the OS so... no.

An i3-2100 was suggested as a possible basis for my low-power file server. I suspect they would work for your needs as well. Or you could let your roommate to find his own damned hardware.
