I have a 1st gen iPad (with 3G, so I will keep it to use when travelling). Some of the interest in the Surface for me is the similarity with Windows 8 on the desktop. Some is that I'm the person who's expected to have an opinion on new things in my small circle: should I recommend iThings or...

FWIW I have a Surface (typing on it right now), and I'm perfectly happy with it. Email works (Office 365, IMAP, Gmail). Word displays text just as quickly as I can type (no, I don't type that quickly, but I do use more than one finger). You can access the file system. You can access files on...

mubs, good idea. Is that available without an extension?

It's been in Firefox for a while, certainly 3.6 which is what I'm using now. In about:config set browser.tabs.closeButtons to 3.

TMPGEnc is pretty easy to use. I haven't done anything complicated with it, but it seems to be able to deal with editing commercials from two hour movies without any pain. http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/te4xp.html

I've used this with good results. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec

Lenovo seconded, but only the Thinkpad line. As our computer guy responded about our purchase of some T60s "The T series are the same as the IBMs of old. The actual Lenovo (non ThinkPad) stuff is retail crap."

Haven't heard anything either. It's only been 2 weeks, with Christmas in the middle though, so I'll continue to wait.

I received a (paper) letter in the mail (slot) today too repeating the original email confirmation in Timwhit's quote. Sheesh. Is this much contact normal from Adaptec Customer Care? I hope nobody shows up at the front door tomorrow morning....

Looking good. How much of a difference does the mirror lock-up make? My D70 doesn't have the feature, and I've never been sure of the impact

Yeah, it's still a good deal. Best I could find up here was CAD 1015, USD 860ish. This deal will be around CAD 670 including shipping, and if I'm lucky, customs might miss the taxes (one can always hope.)

I got the same reply from Adaptec a few days ago. They just called me up, I thought to verify that I was a "qualified" person. I was expecting to lose the deal, as we're not in the computer business, and don't buy masses of computers, but they just wanted to let me know that there was still a...

:scratch: That's a nice picture Handruin!

What's a gay moon?

1/30th at f8 rings a bell for the moon...maybe I remember it from Ansel Adams' process while taking his Moonrise over Hernandez image (I think he didn't have a light meter?) P5-133XL is right, the moon itself doesn't need a lot of exposure, after all it's in full daylight.

So much to learn, so little time. sip Must do more...slurp...researsh...glug...

Isn't everything Auslese and up botrytis affected? Just happened to pick up a basic Balthazar Ress Rheingau Riesling yesterday when I was getting my bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau. I've had some nice wine from this producer.

Or use Cellartracker to track your wine online, with tasting notes, etc. Works from your phone too. 8) or :eekers: (depends on your level of wine-geekness)

foobar2000 does everything I need, and seems fairly unbloated.

However lousy my day, there's always something around here that makes me smile. Thanks Buck. and Tea. :D

I use the moox m2 build for Athlon XPs, but to be honest the only difference I notice is the speed of the menus.

Another vote for Asus. I've had an M5N for about 6 months now, and have no complaints. Came with a CD burner / DVD player, and I put in a Hitachi 7200 rpm drive and more memory (it takes a micro-dimm that I hadn't heard of before). I'm not a road-warrior by any stretch, but it follows me...

Don't some people at risk for heart attacks take aspirin daily as a preventative measure? I'm sure their genes are just fine.

Oh yeah, forgot to say: RSS is cool, thanks Handruin :D

Well, I can get a live bookmark at work with moox Firefox 1.06, so I'm thinking it's something with the home system, not with your coding Handruin.

I just get a "Live Bookmark feed failed to load" message. BBC and Slashdot work, so is there something special to do for SF? I'm using Firefox 1.06. I tried Sage as well, and that gives an "XML Parse Error" message.

More like USD 3.50 (3.78 litre to a US gallon), but anyways, still lots. I like the sound of the imperial litre though. Sounds vaguely Rule Brittania and all that, wot wot :) You're paying about the same as we do here in Western Canada (yes, right next door to the oilsands - go figure) around...

Sounds like a tablet. Would that work?

No, can't do it. I particularily like the bit referring to the "Getting Started" section indicating that you can back up to CDs. Except that you, um, can't. And it's been there in the guide since W2K.

cactus?? :scratch:

Fujitsu 4726ses are a nice balance between smooshy and clicky, even if they are a bit spendy.

peachy?

Hexium would work too. Gives it that satanic edge.

Eclipse, yes?

Woohoo, the Huygens probe has landed on Titan! Cassini-Huygens Mission Isn't it cool what you can do with computers and a few gajillion pieces of eight?

No, we just need to find something Mercutio likes. :)

Gorges du Tarn

Thanks for reminding me of this. We saw this in the distance when visiting there last year, and I never followed up on what it was. It really is BIG. We were stuck in traffic at the time, and had a deadline so couldn't do much other than marvel at its size. The traffic down there really is bad...

I thought LiveUpdate did program updates too (not that Norton issues a lot of them).

How do we read if we can only see the letters from the top?

You could practice safe-computing and do without. I had NAV on my home system for a year; it never found anything, so I've ditched it. Depends on what you do, and whether you share the system with anyone. And you may like the "peace of mind" afforded by an up-to-date AV program We use Symantec...

Hefner has charm?

OK, thanks a lot for checking Buck!

:bglaugh:

Oops, missed that. I knew I should've kept my mouth shut. It's Mercutio, and I knew he would have checked that, but I didn't read carefully enough...

Perhaps Nero anything and something in this particular system don't get along? Maybe try ECDC just to rule out a Nero incompatibility somewhere?

Sorry, that'd help wouldn't it. :oops: ST336607LC was the one I was looking for.

My local retailer of choice tells me that the Seagate 10k.6 drives are discontinued. However, Seagate's web page shows them, and the few online retailers I checked show them too. This guy has been always been good (I followed him from one shop to another because of service), but this somehow...

My wife would be concerned that you might start glowing from EMR or some other voodoo waves! No amount of data or protestations (or imploring) will convince her otherwise either. Don't even try. Can you guess how many machines I have running my spare-cycles client (the S-word, I dare not say it...
