Most cameras have a Sport mode. This is designed to give you a fast shutter speed. I personally like the newer Canon cameras with 6-7 MP. Some of them have image stabilization which will also reduce blur. Finally, if you get a Canon with the digic 3 processor in it, The camera will automatically...
I have 5 TB (2 x 2 TB TeraStations + 1TB home built file server). Then I have 4x 250~320 GB external USB drives used for backup.
All of it is used up except around 800GB. However there is quite a bit of data in there which is redundant.
I'd get any router which fully supports DD-WRT firmware. It's possible your existing router does. The firmware can completely change the capabilities. One of the new capabilities may give you the ability to increase the range.
There are free utilities to go beyond XPs artificial 32GB limit for FAT32. Although I recommend NTFS if your OS is Windows 2000 or higher.
The other thing to check is some drives have jumpers to CAP the size for backwards compatability. Make sure you didn't accidentally set/remove a jumper...
I've had more 7200 RPM drives fail. Although I've owned more 7200 RPM drives ;)
I would argue that the 10000RPM drives are built with more stringent controls so you can expect better reliability.
Besides all of this, I don't trust hard drives anymore. I've lost a few too many. backup often.
So you didn't say anything about 5+1 or 1+5. Is this possible with your controller?

Up to 4 drives can fail in this config. But some failures...
I may be ignorant on the way PGP is working these days but...
You don't want a public key system on a self executable. These are contradictory. The reason you want a self-executable is because you assume the person extracting the files does not have the required software. If they don't have...
I came in this late. I would have strongly pushed for the DELL solution. Business computers are a different ball game. But this is done. So it looks like you are after a backup solution and configuring a server. Again, I would recommend a proper server from Dell, HP, etc. As for backup, don't...
This is going to start a bunch of useless posts. Just go to a web site with CPU charts and make your own decision based on the applications or games which are important to you.
I already have unmanaged. More unmanaged switches just wouldn't be '[H]ard'.
Hehe, kidding asside, I want to play with and learn more about layer two switches. I also want to set up vlans. Most of my devices support Gig so I am just going with it although I know it won't be fully used or used...
I have no experience in units costing that much. However I have been using Dell Color Laser Printers for years and I find they are an excellent value. Dell has just released an All in one Color Laser unit you might want to check out.
You need to decide what factors are more important...
It's going to be shared in all cases if the video card doesn't have it's own. This is just not clear on Dell's site. I wouldn't worry about it. The main difference is the speed of the memory. If you have plans to run Vista in the future, I'd go with 2GB. If the chip runs at 667mhz, get the 667...
If your controller won't do what you want a raid 5+1 or similar should allow the same level of redundancy. All these schemes should allow up to 4 drives to fail and still run. In the end, you will only have 500GB with any of them.
Also, I'd hate to see what kind of event will take out 4...
I ran it for over 3 years this way with none of those problems. I'm sure most people don't have the same severe problems you describe, or it would have been addressed by MS by now. Are you sure you didn't propagate any strange security settings to the folder?
Spinrite is crap which will only make it worse. Just google some of the analysis on spinrite. I use R-Studio. It was expensive, but it was the best money I spent. You don't HAVE to image the drive but it is recommended. If you are in a real pinch, you can try a direct recovery of the My...
I avoid partitioning too. I used to use it to divide drives logically but in the end, you are going to be looking for some tool to resize your partitions.
Raid controllers should allow this. But no matter how many drives you stick on those RAID 1 arrays, it is not a substitute to a good backup plan. Why are you ditching Raid 5?
What are you trying to accomplish? The RAID or just making multiple drives appear as one? If its the latter, windows will let you mount drives as paths instead of giving them drive letters. This is how linux does it too. When you are creating your partition it will ask you is you want to assign...
Ray, I don't believe you are a pro. However your general advice accurate.
Here are some clarifications: Canon calls their vibration reduction IS (Image Stabilization). IS or VR does not equal a good lens. The Sony has a maximum 1/4000th shutter speed, and supports the Konica/Minolta A Mount...
Sounds more like a hardware problem. The last step may check the network connection or some other device which may be causing the reboot. Try to disconnect/reseat the device if possible, check the ram too. If it's built on hardware try to temporarily disable the sound, lan, etc in the bios to...
I noticed that too. I don't know much about some of the protocols and standards listed on the spec sheets to know if they are important. So I'm hoping someone here will tell me the difference and what it means to me.
I have only used a dozen or so linksys. All of them had problems using linksys firmware no matter what version of firmware. Seemed to happen more when I used them pretty hard. The WRT54G has never locked up on me, even with the stock firmware. But I didn't run the stock firmware long enough to...
OK. I don't know enough about the finer points of managed switched but it seems the Linksys does more.
Here are the switches:
Netgear GS724T
Linksys SRW2024
Both are linked to make this easy.
Thanks all.
hmm. Just a few points.
Are the NICs detected and they just won't grab an IP?
The machines you are doing this on are all connected to the same network?
You may be confusing the DHCP server. I know windows stores a soft MAC in the registry and this is generally the MAC used by the machine...
Thanks. It seems processing power is what I would get the most out of it. Linksys routers are notorious for locking up. I've owned at least a dozen different linksys routers in my life. However, once you get the linksys firmware off the router that problem goes away. I never have to reboot...
I have always used a simple router at home which NATs everything and seemingly provides protection. Why use IPCop or Smoothwall? I'm currently running WRT54G with DD-WRT. What gains are there over my cheap router?
Not trying to be flame bait. Just trying to learn something so I can improve my...
Generally if you remove it from the old system you can install it on another system. However some companies which preinstall software sometimes lock the software to their system or they don't provide a way of reinstalling.
I personally would make sure the software installs and works before...
