The whole "you can't cancel because it's shipping soon" is reminiscent of Amazon's free shipping. But Amazon doesn't charge $14 for that kind of treatment. Google's complete lack of communication on this whole thing is just turning it into a clusterfuck where retailers have people who have paid...
From an investment standpoint, yes it is pretty crappy. From a "I want to see this actually exist" standpoint, it's a pretty good concept.
Most often it's a way accumulating a minimum number of sales to be able to fund the final development and tooling. There is a risk that the project just...
I have tall and soft enough sidewalls that I can usually tell visually when they lose more than a few PSI. With lower profile and stiffer sidewalls, it's much harder to tell. When I had my first car if you set the tires to 34,35,36, and 37 PSI I could tell you which was which without using a gauge.
If the guy leaves his car while he goes on the test ride, it helps with the comfort level a lot. Also doing what car dealerships do and getting a driver's license number goes a long way. That way you have something solid and traceable linking the thief.
The natural gas line in my house actually runs up through my attic. So boring a hole through the foundation isn't necessarily a requirement, but may be. I have a slab foundation, so that may be a difference.
Doesn't matter if it's been around. If it's not common, the lack of it is going to be a problem. And currently it's far from ubiquitous. It's just now being common on new boards but you have years of non-UEFI systems that people will be trying these drives in.
The same thing happened in the...
The 15W per GB is likely a dated figure. Because of how technology is constantly changing that figure is constantly dropping. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the 4GB in my system uses the same power as the 640kB in the IBM AT board I have on my desk.
The big slowdown is the 2.2TB BIOS limit. The market needs to get well filled with systems that are prepared to accept larger drives. So in the meantime, they're just getting cheaper.
Thanks for the helpful input. Let me go back and start using PCChips stuff and ignoring the fact that I read a lot of good reviews before buying my first SSD. I'll swap these out for some Kingston Jmicron 601 drives right away!
Yup. Only option would've been to send it to a place that would've charged me about $450 or so to recover it. With SSDs being the way they are, it does boggle me that the manufacturer can't do that easily. Especially given the fault is a case of "the controller borked and just needs to be...
My actual ringtone:
Dark Helmet: Stop this thing!
Colonel Sandurz: We can't stop, it's too dangerous! We have to slow down first!
Dark Helmet: Bullshit! Stop this thing, I order you! Sto-o-o-o-p!
Not once you factor in labor charges.
Taking care of it with a bullet takes about 1 minute of labor and about 50 cents in materials. (not counting the common labor between the two processes). Assuming we pay the person $12/hour this results in a labor cost of 20 cents and a total cost of...
I can send you my mailing address and a few bucks for shipping if you still can't find anything to do with it. :)
...though if I were you I'd use it for processing the multimedia files. That tends to be a disk intensive task and produces a good number of large files in the process that aren't...
I know, doesn't help me when I can't flash the drive though. They won't make a destructive flash available through the support forums. I asked. In the mean time, I keep waiting for a number so I can do something useful towards getting this brick of flash memory back to being something useful.
groberts was right, the flash did fix the agility, though all my carefully arranged bits got set back to empty. Still waiting for the RMA number for the V+. Annoyingly, I called up because I knew their online system was slow. Was told to use the online to get a ticket, and my ticket has been...
I managed to get both an OCZ Agility and a Vertex Plus to go from happy and perfectly fine to bricks in 12 hours in two different systems. I think my being a fan of them just got thrown out the window. FML.
The last two or three years my company has given (very small) raises while hiking employee contributions for health care to the point that many people have been getting negative raises. Thanks upper management!
At the moment I think appliance tech jobs are higher in prestige and pay than PC tech jobs. Sadly, people are mystified and treat them both in about the same amounts.
I believe the shift started happening when it stopped becoming "this expensive machine that I must take care of" and started...
I'm guessing that the guy left the choke on or something. The older McCulloch chainsaws are freaking awesome and high quality. After the original owner sold it to Black and Decker quality was the first thing to get dropped, and intentionally so. A lot of my family worked at their plant and knows...
The base does 720p and I have one for my bedroom TV. (which only does 720p native to begin with) It works pretty well. The only annoyance is the lack of a keyboard for typing in names.
