    LSI Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA HBA and RAID cards)

    If it's an LSI branded MegaRAID controller, then no, RAID 5 and RAID 6 functionality do not require a key. Some OEM branded devices may require a key. As far as RAID migration from SAS1078 to SAS2108, possibly, but this has nothing to do with RAID 6 keys -- the DDF may be different with a...

    LSI Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA HBA and RAID cards)

    That's called band-gap charging and it will increase the life of the battery.

    Now that Haswell is out, I need help finding a new convertible tablet PC

    This is what prevented me from buying Sony's overpriced haswell offering, that and their issues with shipping units. Sony better enjoy the revenue stream for now, as soon as the competition arrives their sales will shrink unless they drop the price to reflect the form factors limitations.

    WANTED:Touchscreen Laptop intel 4th gen

    Wait... Seriously, 4th gen was just announced.. Most vendors will not have a "flagship" offering ready for 3-6 months (some maybe later). If you can't wait, Apple and Sony seem to have units available now (or soonish). Acer, Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Razr, Sony, Samsung, and Toshiba have all...

    Laptop with good battery life

    Haswell (Crystalwell, Broadwell and thereafter) will, undoubtedly change the landscape of mobile computing with regards to the dichotomy of power-performance/battery life, but as of yet the options are slim. You may find larger, performance minded laptops (such as Maingear Nomad 17) with 7500...

    The Five Stages of Data Loss Grief

    A few years ago I went through each of these phases, but after that I learned my lesson and now only experince 2 of the 5 steps. :P Seriously, as of today my workstation has a RAID 5 for just my documents, music, movies, photos, and work related materials; I have an external 1.5 TB drive for...

    Census Time Heightens Privacy Concerns

    This is patently false. A 72-year privacy law, part of Title 44 of the U.S. Code, prohibits the census from being publically viewable until April 1, 2082. It has been this way since the 1930's. Really, do most of you just take everything you hear off the tube at face value? Or are you just...

    Census Time Heightens Privacy Concerns

    According to the Constitution? The decennial census was not included in the Constitution until 1790; 3 years after the creation of the “original” Constitution. Several congresses and courts since that time have firmly stated that the census CAN include statistical information—which include race...

    I was checking out the prices and so forth-- and because NFO can lock in the pre-order prices-- I'm seriously considering purchasing a server. I've done business w/ NFO before and they are a good company w/ good support. I also know that during the beta their servers had the best pings and least...

    First rule of beta: 1.We don't talk about the first day of beta. :) Nah, first day looks like a fail on the network/server side. Client seems stable, not enough time to say, though. Going to Server Browser (tab on right or Multiplayer dropdown) causes CTD. Seems the dev's know about it...

    Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - Which will you buy for?

    I already pre-ordered the PC from STEAM and will likely be getting the PS3 version (haven't decided on pre-ordering or not). I beta'd the PS3 version and was impressed--been a long while since a game has drawn me in like this one. Not to mention I don't usually frag on the consoles, but even...

    Samsung i7 Water Damage?

    FWIW, mine started having problems charging the last few months. Not as in would NOT charge, it just started taking longer, and the result was abismal battery life. Needless, to say, I'm glad the TP2 came out today. As I wasn't long from jumping the VzW ship.

    Samsung i7 Water Damage?

    I have an i760, my strip in the back has the X's but they are purple-ish -- not red. note: I'm not color-blind either, in fact my eyes are near 20/20. I also rely on my ability to distinguish color in my job.

    Getting rid of Vista's Start Orb?

    While a nice suggestion, and probably good enough for the OP, what's the resource usage of this little app? If it's anything like AeroSnap or some of the other aesthetic copy-cats, I'll pass.

    Getting rid of Vista's Start Orb?

    The thing is, technically, many of us probably know how to go about solving this problem, but.. You have a specific goal in mind, therefore you should be able to find the right method to obtain the results you desire. The C# and C++ API's for theme development don't come with toggle...

    Which used RAID card would YOU get?

    +1 for the LSI, although the 3ware would be a close second. And yes, 3ware is now owned by LSI --so, unless the card is EOL, then LSI support will be handling any issues. I hate to disagree with you, but HP does NOT design and build all (probably only a small portion, if that) their own...

    New FCC Chairman's Agenda Includes Broader Internet Access

    To be fair, w1retap isn't your run-of-the-mill conservative. He's more like the bird in the bush, not in the hand. Similar to how the US house's ICANN but has a relatively low broadband saturation rate.
