If you want to be extra paranoid you can enable google's two factor authentication as long as you have an android/blackberry/iOS device. Kinda like the RSA key fob's that generate a code that you enter in (though RSA isn't that great of an example for the moment).

Thanks for the contest link!

I went skydiving in Florida today, it was lots of fun

http://www.head-fi.org is the answer for all your questions.

I think he meant in the groupbuy subforum, but with the activity level of this board (compared to the flood of posts over on hf) I think it's fair to say it's not hard to find this thread even if it's not linked there

The 2nd generation Core processors may be worth a look: Intel BOXDH67CFB3 - $129.99 mini-ITX H67 Motherboard Intel Core i3-2100T 35W 2nd Gen Core i3 A better performance 35W model does exist, but I can't find that one in stock anywhere. This should be a fairly cool running machine, with a good amount of performance. For virtualization purposes the i3-2100T does have VT-x, but not VT-d.

I was already editing it to add my preferences, so I went ahead and put you in there as well.

Happy birthday!

Don't forget the $339 USB card! Haven't looked into whether it has any technical merits, but just the price alone makes me think of other things I can spend that on

A $65 power filter for hard drives?

At those interface speeds, you're mostly limited to the speed of the drive. I'd check the drive's stated read/write speed (not the interface speed) to see what you should realistically expect.

Wow, my very own bday thread! Thanks guys

I just skimmed through the mega-thread on Head-fi and it seems that Parrots has a very similar attitude as that nwavguy person. Lots of huffing and puffing with personal attacks all in the name of revealing the truth.

I'm still not sure what sort of context warrants those types of disparaging comments. Funny enough, nwavguy claims he's been censored by amb since he's been banned on the amb forums: That post where he called out Tyll was definitely surprising

Happy birthday!

I think someone repeating the test would be ideal, but that's unlikely to happen. I do find the amb.org forum discussion somewhat entertaining. It's like watching a train wreck in progress, the breakdown in communication was simply inevitable.

I always made sure I didn't need to go anywhere to buy anything during golden week, the crowds were simply ridiculous.

Probably needs a name change since his first post didn't even have a single question.

Did you suffer through Windows ME as well?

They didn't comment on the bald tires when they rotated them?

I'm still in wannabe DIYer status

I'm curious about that as well, if I consider myself a decent DIYer I'd just as much go and buy the cable and do it than wait around for replies to a post. Probably could have been done with the cable by now, actually.

Shhhhh, you'll let the secret out!

That was my first reaction as well, the color in that is amazing! Great job as usual Steve, though I'm certainly not one that should be judging
