Mix of IDE/SATA hard drives possible ?

Possible stupid question... I have a Biostar NF325-A7 motherboard. I had 2 IDE hard drives in there. One of them died on me. Looking to replace it. Is it ok for a motherboard to have both an IDE hard drive AND a SATA harddrive?

Dreams in naps are so fast

I took a nap for precisely 15 minutes (I programmed the countdown timer on my phone). The dream I had during that nap felt like I was out for three hours. I don't understand how events in a dream can seem like possibly a lifetime yet only really happen in 15 minutes?

How to properly dispose of a UPS

I looked at that PDF. I don't want to send the old UPS to Canada. Especially since it weighs at least 15 pounds. Plus it's hard to believe that there are no disposal centers in the USA.

How to properly dispose of a UPS

I bought a new APC UPS to replace my old APC UPS. APC says to bring the old UPS to an authorized place for proper disposal and to go to APC.com to see a list of authorized places. I can't find this list. Should I just toss the UPS in my office's dumpster?
