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...

The standard argument I get (on another forum) is that I should relax and let itunes decide how best to manage my music collection, so I don't have to think about it any more, that it works eleventy times better on OSX than on Windows, and that any kind of application errors, database errors or...

I really hate gmail's presentation and the "no email to yourself" rule, and I've yet to find a sync system between it and a local email or calendar client that I actually like.

I deal with contacts by remembering their phone number and email address. This works pretty well.

Four machines using Centos, two (essentially identical) Server 2008R2 machines. The Server2008 machines are my living room gaming system and my bedroom gaming system, and they're set up the way they are so I can play with Libraries, Indexing, Homegroups and Dfs. I'm using a mix of onboard...

I just spent the better part of a week upgrading my storage systems and the media sorting and indexing software associated with it. End result: four 12TB RAID6 arrays and two 6TB RAID5s. As I add music, the .id3 tags are broken down and multiple sets of symlinks are created so that I can drill...

Apple people will quickly tell you anything you think is wrong with itunes is your own fault. The largest collection I've ever had to work with was about 450GB, at which point it became an absolute dog, performance-wise. I'd hate to see how it would mangle 1.5TB, but since most of my stuff is...

Hobby Lobby and/or Walmart.

I'm about 99% positive that everything that's been sold in the last five or so years does those things as part of the built-in firewall crap that's in pretty much all consumer-class routers. Being able to forward L2TP is an example of something that would be present in a business-class product...

n gives you additional range and DOES offer better throughput than g, even if the 300Mbit connection is bullshit. 802.11 is shared bandwidth (and worse, overhead claims about half the protocol's specified speed), so while you won't get that 300Mbit, you might get a couple legitimate 50Mbit...

There are 80 Samsung drives in my apartment that are 1TB or larger. I have no complaints about any of them.

Good drives say Samsung or Intel on them.

Nice to see you again, JoJo. :)

Wow. That's phenomenally retarded.

WPA2-PSK and WPA2-Personal are the same damned thing.

The PS3 also has limited playback support (no six-channel .flacs, for example, and I suspect the majority of h.264 container formats are also problematic) or support for regular web-based content. PS3 users on Fark.com were jizzing their pants a couple months ago over Netflix streaming, putting...

I purposefully select Hibernate, because it's normal for me to more than a day between using my laptops. I don't want them to waste power in sleep mode.

Actually, it's acceptable. It's not ideal, but you're well below what the CPU can tolerate. And for what it's worth, I have yet to encounter hardware that will properly hibernate or suspend and resume under Windows 100% of the time. My Thinkpads under Win7 don't resume maybe one time in six...

I just recently found this, which I found to be all kinds of interesting.

I have a 13U rack in my living room that's full of stuff that doesn't make any noise at all as long as the door is shut. Both my T60 and T61 are more audible than any desktop or rackmount machine I own, unless I've been playing games for a while and a video card is running its fan on high, I'm...

I switched in my Radeon 4870, and it's fine under the same conditions as the 5870. Weird.

Look for a grounding issue. Take his crap out of the case and run it that way.
