WOW! Samsung=Japanese Apple ;-)

Might this be caused by a corrupt bios? Would flashing the bios work, or should I leave well enough alone? Doesn't really appear to need anymore ram, at least for what it does, and looking at task manager.

The last Samsung phone I had, the Highlight was a real abortion. The Nokia 5230 is a bit better, but maybe because it doesn't have the proprietary software that now seems to plague phones offered by carriers like Verizon, or even T mobile. I've had pretty good luck with Samsungs' hard drives...

Just a reminder about Samsung: Quote: Originally Posted by ddrueding View Post Indeed. The one I ordered also stated 1080p clear as day. It wasn't until I viewed the EDID information directly that I found out what it actually wanted. DD, it was a Samsung unit you had... (And it just reinforced...

I had fun looking this one up. It's about the same as my Cf-51Dual core(uses pretty much the same processor), and is about the same ram wise, 1.25 Gigs to 2 gigs. The weird thing is the first release used a PATA interface, and, a slower SSD then the Kingspec that I have in mine. IIRC the...

Just got done watching Thor in 2D, and a regular DVD at that. MUCH better then the 20 bucks I spent to watch it in 3D. The special effects were so bad they detracted from the story, and, a lot of stuff that was poorly focused and dark in 3D was very well done in 2D. Looking forward to the...

Only thing in a Panasonic 50" Plasma. Eats too much electricity. The 32" they carry is a 720. I am more or less making due with what I've got until something I really want comes into my price range. Around 40", 60 hz 1080p. LED or LCD. I'm not real happy with Samsung right now. Still, if...

SSD on the motherboard? Relatively cheap, track pad looks to big, but, it seems just fine for most things... Except it's an Apple...

That sucks. I wonder again, if all these things aren't made in the same Chinese factories, with the same pretty much cheap components? Sort of the giant shoe factory model for athletic shoes in the Shang Hai area.

LM: Where are you going? Labor Day traffic :throwup:

If you think yours is a POS, you should have seen the Viore. Still, it didn't look bad with a Bluray James Bond movie playing... I've got 90 days to return this one. It's really kind of sad. Costco used to do a bit of the shopping for me, buying quality products. Right now it's looking like a...

Funny part is they both have the EXACT same interface for settings for the screen. Makes me think Viore is a company setup to dump flawed components by Westinghouse, or whoever owns Westinghouse. We'll see how this one plays out.

Just hooked up an ibook to this router. It's running about 70Mbps, and about 5 Mbps upload. Pretty good. Book seemed rather nice and thin lightweight, and with an SSD, it might even be fast. Is apple still crippling their systems with garbage hard drives?

Update: Traded the Viore in. It was 1808 X something, to fill the screen. 1920 was well off the edges. Ended up with a Westinghouse LD-4070Z 40 " "120 HZ". Picture is considerably better with stock setting,so much I haven't used adobe to check the quality. It displays at 1920 x 1080P, @...

SoCal is raging. Malibu is NEVER this big and the wedge is 12-15 with 20 foot sets. http://www.surfline.com/surf-report/the-wedge-southern-california-hdcam_4232/ http://www.surfline.com/surf-report/malibu-southern-california-hdcam_4209/

Appears we are starting to get the left overs in San Francisco today. http://www.surfline.com/surfline/lola/5dw_cencalanim_hpd.jsp Still some good sets for Hawaii: That buoy they talked about in the video is pretty clear in this cam shot of Ala Moana Yacht Harbor entrance...

Here is the same swell: http://www.surfline.com/surf-news/best-of-the-web-ala-moana_58875/# Yes, they make it to Hawaii. The fun part is the actual swell is focused on mainland South America. Hope you can see this: http://www.surfline.com/surfline/lola/spaallhgtanim.jsp The irony is that...

Swell has made it to Hawaii. It's diminished to a 8 foot swell, but, it has the longest duration I've ever seen in a Hawaii south swell, 21 seconds. Record up till now, was 17 sec. Here's Ala Moana Bowls. It usually is WAY inside this buoy, not outside it...

HMMM. That's a 20 minute drive away...;-)

On again today. Looks like the finals will go. Kelly Slater is going again.

The Heat Analyzer now has two sections on the tow session, and the live contest is on today. http://billabongpro.com/tahiti11/heat-analyzer-gb

Here is one of the largest, most perfect barrels I've ever seen paddled into: http://www.surfline.com/surflinetv/sixty-seconds/ryan-hipwood-wave-of-my-life_58680 Tavurua, Cloudbreak.

PICTURES ARE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, NOT TO MENTION A BIT OF VIDEO: http://www.surfline.com/surf-news/full-coverage-of-billabong-pro-tahiti-tow-session_58716/

Maybe a bit weird, but there are a lot of slabs, maybe not as heavy as that one, that people tow into that are freezing cold. Dungeons South Africa comes to mind, as does Mavericks, and a few other spots around here.

BROADCAST IS ON! http://www.billabongpro.com/tahiti11/live-gb

Here is a link for yesterday's highlights. Pretty darn good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2gGiZvRYgs&feature=uploademail Guess no broadcast today.

http://www.billabongpro.com/tahiti11/live-gb If you get a chance, have a look tomorrow, and, part of todays surf was pretty incredible. Use the "Heat Analyzer" feature to play back the high scoring waves. First couple heats were the craziest. Tomorrow should be incredible.

Thanks M. Didn't know that....

Isn't just saying the hard drive went out the best way to deal with it?

DD: Is it really double the value of the these? http://pckeyboards.stores.yahoo.net/customizer.html I am loosing a keyboard, so this topic is timely....

Is there something that 2003 won't do that 2008 does? When I was using 2008 I couldn't help but think that it was 2003 with a face lift...

Wouldn't it be cheaper to spray paint a cheap keyboard? Any reason not to get a PS/2 keyboard? Are the new motherboards getting rid of that standard as well?

DB: It's what I posted in the original post.

Please explain this to me: Panasonics specs for their Plasma: "Costco extends manufacturers warranty to 2 years Screen Size: 42" Class (41.6" diagonal) Aspect Ratio: 16:9 Resolution: 1024 x 768 Tuner: ATSC/QAM/NTSC Display Capability: 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p 24p Playback (2:3) " So native...

2) 1.467 GHz Athlon XP 1700+ (home built) - 512MB -"iffy/dying" 20 GB HD - ATI 9600XP video - Antec 350w - CD burner - DVD ROM drive - Win'98 Switch the hard drives, and install the XP from the Compaq. If it doesn't work, you aren't out much. Time suggested trying to overclock, and, I might...

Time: Thanks. I'll have to go look at the 32" Panasonic and pull the number. I do like the 40" size. I guess I might test the Vizio 37" on the HTPC. The scrolling and vibrating of letter might be due to the old video card running at a non-native resolution. Might be the Viore just uses a...

Thanks. I looked but couldn't find anything. I'll turn it back inside 60 days, and hope the other TV's have come down in price. If I wasn't using this as a computer monitor, I'd probably be delighted with the color to begin with, and, I don't think most humans can tell the difference between...

I switched all my server case fans to Stealths. Not as much case flow, but quieter. My server case in particular doesn't work well without very high speed, noisy, 80-90 mm fans. DD setup the beast, it works. I leave it alone.

Seems to play movies best. When scrolling or typing it takes awhile for the type to be seen properly. It also doesn't really run at 1900X 1080. That's too big, and it runs off the screen. It's currently running at 1808 X 1016 to fit it to the screen. It might be that the custom settings are...

I was really just after a decent monitor, and, for the price, it's a great monitor. Cheesy remote, o DVD player,etc. When it first Came out, I gather it was over 500 dollars. It looks like they had 758 of em, and were looking to move them quickly, with Costco buying them up. I can't help but...

I've been monitoring my SATA drives in the server, and, after finding a couple cooking along in custom enclosures at 130 degrees, I reconnected the fans in the back of the case, That worked. Dropped them to 100 degrees or less. I have found that the Antec hotswap cases, with no caddies, gets...

I bought a little 21.5" Samsung monitor at Costco.dollars, but really 175, since they didn't include a DVI cable with it. That made me think it was a poor value, small, and I decided to return it. Last time I was in, I noticed the 27" Samsung monitors had come down from 349 to 329. Still high...

I don't really get the merits of a small case. I want something I can put lots of drives in, good hardware, lots of fans, big and quiet, and can get my big fingers into to work on. David is not small, nor are his hands.

So, 50 dollars for the enclosure. 80 for the board. What radio and power supply do you plan on using? Which antennas?

HMMM. Free Linksys 54GL, and it lasted what, 5 years? Reasonable but not fast, and very reliable. There are a few gems out there. Hope this 4200 proves to be one of those. If not, it has been bought at Costco for that very reason.

The 2500K and the 2600K are pretty substantial improvements in speed, at near the same price points. However, they are pretty new. I'd wait a bit until the prices come down a bit, and they get all the bugs worked out on the new motherboards. Also the motherboards seem to be kind of high...

What CPU are you going to run?
