NAS Security

The Ximeta boxes and now the Netgear SC101 NAS box require client software on each PC that accesses them. That's been treated like a big negative on the forums I've looked at (I don't care because I would only have 3 clients--no big deal). But I was wondering if such a requirement provided any...

Official Black Friday 2004 Thread

I'm sorry, but anyone who boycotts a company because of such things should just end himself. i'll give you a clue: unless the company is in a really heavily democrat controlled area they're probably going to be 'GOP backers' because the GOP holds a lot of powerful positions nationally. if and...

Fuji 50 pack CD-Rs for $7.99 @ Best Buy

The last Fuji I bought were made in Taiwan, labeled something like 32x and can't burn faster than 20x. The party's over with Fuji as far as I'm concerned.

Nice Deal 2250mAh AA NiMH Batteries free shipping

Mindless1: You're right about AA and AAA NiMH batteries being cheap, but Cs and Ds sure aren't. Also, since batteries age, I would like to keep an eye on how they well holding a charge so I don't end up having the batteries die at a bad time. But, OK, it's really just gear a addiction :cool:

Nice Deal 2250mAh AA NiMH Batteries free shipping

Yes, AFAIK the Maha MH-C777Plus is the cheapest one that charges any number of cells, A,AAA,C,D,9V, and report the charge in each. It appears to qualify as "Your Last Battery Charger." I'm not familiar with anything cheaper that only reports on and charges AA and AAA, but that might be...

Dell UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1" LCD - $719.25 Shipped at Dell

I got my $687 refurbed 2001FB Friday after ordering it last Sunday. I used the Nokia Monitor Test to check it out. My video connection is analog (built-in nVidia GeoForce4 MX420) limited to 1280 x 1024. No light bleeding issues that I could detect. My room wasn't pitch black, but I had...

Dell UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1" LCD - $719.25 Shipped at Dell

Groan! My poor CC is cowering in the corner of my wallet, afraid of what's coming next. Now the $64 question: $750 for a new one or $686 for a refurb?? I don't mind refurb at all; I've gotten them before. But I'm wondering if there's anything about this screen, like leakage or off-color...

Dell UltraSharp 2001FP 20.1" LCD - $719.25 Shipped at Dell

My resistance is crumbing. If the 2001FP can display in portrait mode, I'm toast. The specs make that almost impossible to figure out (no reference to pivoting or portrait mode except in the height specs). Can somebody who has gotten one tell me if this thing will display in vertical...

Nice Deal 2250mAh AA NiMH Batteries free shipping

I would strongly caution those who are purchasing their first battery charger to think seriously about whether they will ever charge anything other than AA or AAA batteries, because those nice, cheap chargers won't and it's a drag to have buy a second charger. I know because my nice Maha...

MaxDSP: Thanks for the link to the chart. It sure clarifies the superiority of the Atheros Super-G chip set, at least in the context of the one particular test. I just bought the DI-624 this weekend at Fry's for $39.98. It seems to work as advertised, although I haven't really checked it out...

Nice Deal 2250mAh AA NiMH Batteries free shipping

I've been very happy with the AccuPower AccuManager 20 ($54). It handles almost any kind of battery--NiMH, NiCD and RAM types in AA, AAA, C, D, and 9V sizes--without requiring optional battery packs. The versatility is important to me because I use a lot of NiMH D cells in my boom boxes (Maha...

Hot? Loaded IBM Thinkpad T40 for $1999 - SXGA+, 1.6 P-M, 80gb, 512 ram, CDRW, etc.

I bought one of these for my daughther through her college program for about the same price. It had the 80 GB HD. It's a sweet machine for sure. The nightlight for the keyboard is great, so is the keyboard itself. I think they are closing the T40s out. HOWEVER, reconsider the 80 GBHD. The...

IBM Thinkpad T40 vs T41

Be sure to check out the spindle speed of those hard drives. The 80GB is likely to be 4200 rpm and the 60GB is likely to be 7200 rpm (sorry if I off by a few rpm). Slower spindle speed wouldn't be worth an extra 20GB. Also, I believe there are a couple other tweaks to the T41, but I forget...

Dell UltraSharp 1901FP 19-inch Flat Panel Monitor $576.10 AC 2/3 only with coupon code & free shipping

That fact that it doesn't Pivot is a deal-killer for me Once I saw how much more useful the vertical orientation is with a monitor that big, I won't consider anything else.

Atkins Advantage Bars

I lost 40 lbs on Atikins and I'm keeping it off. The trick is to be careful how you taper off the steep dive you get with ketosis. You have to ease back into carbs without falling off the waqon. It takes a little experimentation. Now that I've stabilized, I've stopped watching what I eat but...

Why No "Wireless" Forum????

Thanks for the thread crap, guys. LOL. Now go back to your server farm. Since you don't have any say in it, I'm happy I've given Zuni something to think about, which was the whole point in the first place. Wireless is huge and should have a separate forum. "Build it and they will come."

Why No "Wireless" Forum????

Tired, wired networks should have its own forum, for those who care. FDDI? Token ring? You don't seem to get out much. Those are non-issues outside the IT professional world. Is that you? General hardware? Gee, why don't we consolidate into two forums: Hardware Forum and Software Forum...

Recommendation?

Oops, sorry I didn't address your other question. Unless you really want to be on the cutting edge of gaming, processor power just isn't an issue anymore, at least not for Web and Word jockeys. The actual performance improvements on Web and Word of super hot gear are always under 20%, which...

Recommendation?

I was hoping to stimulate you to look into it! Anyway, the Dell 4550 gives you a 2.4 Ghz P-4 (get the 512MB RAM upgrade from some other source), 40GB hard drive, etc. etc. for way under $700. Besides the fact that you don't have to build it, the biggest plus is the extreme quietness and...

By-passing Dell 4550 BIOS shell

I understand my Dell Dimension 4550 uses an Intel D845PEBT2 motherboard. This board is supposed to have an outstanding (for Intel, that is) BIOS. Problem is, Dell covers it up with some sort of shell that reduces the available setting to almost nothing. Does anyone know how to get direct...

Anything Better Than Register.com??

I'm using Register.com for my domain and e-mail host (I don't have any Web site to host). Price ($35 per year) is a minor complaint. The bigger complaint is that I seem to have short-term lack-of-access problems from time to time where I can't access by e-mail. Does anyone have a US-based...
