I got a USB 3.0 ext Dock and xfer speeds are only double of USB 2.0 ??

I am curious as well.. we ran into a similar situation today, but the NEC drivers didn't help one bit.. I'm chalking it up to an old Firmware in my Seagate 7200.12(500GB) drive.. I am going to upgrade tomorrow and see if it helps. Blain, congrats on 20,000 brother! We've been members almost...

Suggest 2x N-routers for me, that runs DD-WRT

Ubiquiti?? This is the 2nd one I've reccomended today! They are cheap, POE, can be an AP/Router/managed bridge, open source, DD-WRT Compatible, and ready for outdoors (with a little weatherproofing)... and best of all CHEAP! Only one I would stay away from is the Bullet2HP (B/G single band...

I recently started having the same trouble, mainly when undocking. My screen resolution momentarily changes, and changes back to full resolution. It is driving me crazy also. I tried disabling the Intel Display Service, but then my 2nd monitor refuses to automatically enable when I am docked. I...

Validate my Wireless Infrastructure

Are you just going to do a simple bridge (PtP?) or going to have a 3rd access point inside the 2nd location? or are you trying to shoot some wifi over to the 2nd location? I would personally stay away from that hawking for $50. Why don't you get yourself 2 Ubiquity Nanostations for $40-ish. They...

Guitar amplifier in a can

how's about one of these Mini-Marshall Stacks I'd have to say to build one, you wouldn't need/want a full range speaker, probally something with a 12dB/Oct LPF starting at 6k and a 12dB/Oct HPF at 100Hz. Ever plug a guitar amp into a full range cab or into a speaker with a horn? Sounds awful...

Do you listen to any country?

Old Country - George Jones, Lefty Frizzell, Ernest Tubb, Hank Snow, Merle, Waylon, Willie, Johnny Cash (who I never considered 100% Country), to name a few..... this new stuff is awful and 85% of it shouldn't be called country.

Apple lawsuit for loss of hearing of IPOD

Slightly O/T - It's not about the Volume, it's the percieved volume. Record Companies have started a backlash with Engineers. Records are being produced (mastered, actually)to appear to be Louder than the other guys. This is done by limiting the dynamic range (silly, given the dynamic range of...

Apple lawsuit for loss of hearing of IPOD

I'm out of 8 gauge wire, can I double up on 16 gauge speaker wire?

no, 2 pieces of 16AWG would equal roughly 13 or 14 AWG, assuming you're using wire with the AWG rating.... A google search revealed a rough calculator

Why do people write checks at the store?

uhhhm... no, not happy about it at all, but the fact that he was in such a hurry, then got stuck for 45 minutes, made the wait enjoyable!. I don't care, I'll hold up a line just to piss off some self-important jerk-off who thinks he's better, and more important than everyone else.
