I got beaten, sometimes to the point of concussion. I'm not particularly successful.

We've been telling you to do your fifth option for quite some time.

Cute but it needs more SATA ports. :D

I probably have or can make an image of the basic system image for that hardware for you if you don't have OEM media for that T41.

Alienware has hands-down the worst online support I've ever seen for their shit, too. And yes, I've worked on several Alienware products with two drives in RAID0.

I think they might be worth $250. I certainly don't think they're worth more than MSRP. I'm having driver issues with the 5870 that I have not been able to resolve, that I do not have with a 4870x2. I've always been more or less OK with ATI's drivers compared to nVidia's hardware that's born...

I did. It knocked $40 off, not $80.

OK well the price they're showing me is $640, which is about what I can get it from Amazon without a discount code, so the link is bullshit.

Argh. I'm trying to hold off. I have a great Integra receiver now. I'm really trying to hold off on getting something with HDMI but oh that looks sweet.

I have codes for 98, 98SE, 2000 Pro, 2000 Server, two different XP Pro VLKs, and at least one code for Office 97 - 2007 memorized. I'm thinking that some day, if I live that long, I'll probably remember those codes when I'm forgetting what I had for breakfast that morning.

I did find a generic OEM Win98SE disc the other day. I know the product code 'cause I have it memorized. No sticker.

That is an interesting question to which I do not have an answer. My stuff is all close to stock nowadays.

RAID Reconstructor is not just something you run one time. It allows you to change parameters for your recovery. If the first try doesn't work, change some of the settings and try again. Here's my thread about doing an at-the-time large data recovery with that software.

Amazon carries motherboards, Radio Shack is carrying things that might actually be useful... what's the world coming to?

Get Data Back has a Raid Reconstructor add-on that can vary the interleave of the drives in your array, which solves the corrupted files on recovery issue.

Ninite is pretty sweet. You pick a bunch of apps, it hand you a downloadable or linkable .MSI file.

Mercutio is too common of a handle to have it everywhere. I have a different one I use now, though I don't register for new services very often. And yes, my user ID number is 7. I was, I think, the second non-admin account created after the MBF, because I had donated money to help SR. Also...

In the state it's in under Disk Management, "initialize" would mean fdisk and format. Maybe you're thinking of importing a foreign volume? Anyway, my recommendation is that jcazes demo or purchase $100 worth of software from Runtime Software to see if it can recover data from the array. I've...

Handy says Mozy will ship you drives if you need to restore NOW.

It's a kernel module. If you need it, just recompile your kernel.

Wow. I hadn't logged in to SR since 2002. And I'm still user #7. At least the database never crapped out again.

Yes but to be fair how many Europeans were playing a NASCAR game? I'm more excited about the 15-hour add-on to Dragon Age that's coming in the spring.

We've been trying to tell him that for about the last 500 posts.

And we can name all our planes after Joseph Conrad novels and make sure that every plane has someone aboard who looks like Lance Hendrickson! Hopefully at least one of you will get that.

I don't go anywhere.

Somewhere, that sentence just made a freeper ejaculate.

I might be wrong here, but spot-checking seems to suggest that Amazon.com's pricing is very slightly lower than Newegg's, and substantially cheaper for people who have an Amazon Prime membership (which is $80 a year... but I might pay that on ONE Newegg order if I buy a few cases).

It's about not having to have a pen or a working printer. Duh. Also, not having to have a house full of important papers that I don't really know where to put.

I don't have a working printer, either.

I now have an idea for a wonderful new enterprise: Someone should build an international airport in the pacific just off the US coastal border. They can make it out of cargo ships or shipping containers or something. Annoyed Californians could pay a premium to not have to have their cavities...

I haven't written a check in years. Everything I do is electronic payment, even my rent.

Runtime Software's Get Data Back and RAID reconstructor might also be helpful yo you.

I don't need to edit photos in ways that photoshop edits them. I'm fine with Gimp or f-spot, or Paint.net or Picasa on Windows. Also I think Adobe's products are satan's playthings and won't install any of them.

Goddammitsomuch.

There are two interior compartments with nice piece of padding between them. In the zippered exterior compartment there are four pouches that are just the right size to hold a 2.5" hard drive in an external enclosure, and a couple of loops for pens or screwdrivers. The other side has compartment...

My notebooks go in Lenovo Messenger Max bags. I think they cost about $25. They have room for all my stuff. They're very sturdy.

I'm not the one who is worried about it. It seems to be a Gmail global issue for people I deal with. Since I've never changed any settings related to the spam filtering on Gmail for anyone I deal with, it's got to be something that's part of the default setup.

Photoshop is all kinds of special, and by special I mean retarded, regardless.

I still don't know what was wrong with the control panel as it was presented in Win95 - Windows 2000. All the Category view does is piss me off and suck.

It looks to me like it's just a super-expanded version of a bunch of control panel applets. Nothing new is exposed there that isn't under the relevant part of Control Panel.

I seriously doubt that there's even a working pen anyplace in my apartment.

That's what I thought, but ddrueding says it's working on his accounts, so it must not be a global thing. It's not really an issue, since my default "send from" addresses aren't Gmail, but it's something my customers on Google Apps tend not to like.

Greg, I subjectively can't tell the difference between two G1 X-25Ms and three in RAID0 for anything. I'm not sure it even made a second worth of difference in Windows startup times.

The Linksys gear is probably just getting too hot, or power isn't being well-regulated.

I just checked again. I see a sent item but nothing in my inbox. And I'm not the only person who has an issue with this.

We're pretty far away from what you were asking about, but in your case I'd probably recommend something like a Linksys WRT160. I'm not sure you'd need or use the USB or Gigabit ports on the 600-series Linksys routers.

Doesn't work for me on any hosted domain I can try it for. It works if I'm sending from a different domain, even a different identity that's registered to the same account, but I can't go from @gmail.com to @gmail.com with the same address.

If you send an Email from your native gmail address to that same address, regardless of what client you use, it doesn't show up in your inbox. It's my biggest single issue with Gmail.

L2TP forwarding is an oddball because it's not just a matter of forwarding a TCP or UPD port, but correctly forwarding an IP subprotocol that the firmware may or may not allow. Also, as far as I know, Draytech products are not sold in the US. At least not under that brand name. The screenshots...

I think some of the UI issues go away when it's using standard display libraries instead of a bunch of non-native weirdness, and just like IE and WMP on Windows, a lot of the stuff itunes is doing is built in to system libraries anyway. That probably is helpful. Does uda still show up to post...
