  1. There seems to be an overwhelming amount of discontent with the MyBook series on the egg and elsewhere. Though it may be from the overwhelming market share WD has, IDK. Just FYI.
  2. I wish my family would get it. I'm not worried about download speed, I need upload speed. Its absolutely abysmal with Comcast. I had to quit Mozy because of it. Sumbitches.
  3. Anyone use Thunderbird? I've never tried it.
  4. You're welcome I'm particularly glad to simplify the amount of external psu units lying around. My computer has enough wires as it is.
  5. And they're ribbed for her pleasure
  6. Oh yeah. I bought two of them I'm not aware of many competing products, but there is this: It can only do smaller hard drives, due to USB bus power. This one doesnt I prefer the BlacX form better though. Nice and simple.
  7. I never cared for it. Too whiny.
  8. I posted twice?
  9. Yeah, I can definitely see why the did it. I'm already getting used to it
  10. whoa, the times they are a changin'. Glad to see all my add-ons are still working Not sure I dig the gigantic back button. Very function > form. I'll probably love it in a week though.
  11. 1: Good question. I've found the hard drives I use to be pretty cool. Yes there is no fan, so computers have the potential to have cooler temps for the drives, but my computer puts out some real heat, and even with 2 120mm fans for inake, I've found the drives inside it to feel at least as warm to the touch. Not exactly a scientific measurement, though. Alot of people are adamant that heat is not detrimental to hard drive life, at least the common amount of heat in computer towers. Also, most of the drive case surface gets constant exposure to air. The entire platter section is outside of the BlacX case. The part of the drive enclosed is mostly just all the connector junk. From memory, I'd say maybe an inch or so of the drive is inside. Its locked until you release it, so you dont have to worry about it falling out. 2: The BlacX itself makes no noise, but the noise from the HDs is going to depend on what make/model you have. I use these, and they only really make a spinning noise when being accessed from being idle. Its an odd noise, something I dont hear from my computer, because the case blocks it. It only lasts for about 1/4 of a second. Its not that loud though. I only notice it 'cause I'm sitting right next to it. In a HT setting, it would be very, very faint, if audible at all. 3: No not at all. Its not my OS drive though. Just audio. I've been using USB drives for audio/video/data for a while and they seem to work just as well as internal sata as far as accessing the data. Writing to and from is not as fast though. But nothing significant.
  12. I'd sink all you can into the dac, then worry about secondary hard drives later. Hard drives dont go up in price, and they aren't going anywhere anytime soon. I've not regretted upgrading my source to a similar price point. When you do get to hard drives, I recommend getting something like this: Thermatake BlacX. With it, I now use hard drives like floppies OEM internal hard drives are the cheapest kind, and 2009 should see 2TB drives in a single 3.5" unit:cool:
  13. I was a C-section baby, er, ...section baby: http://www.worth1000.com/entries/128000/128039lrTP_w.jpg http://www.bugsforthugs.com/wp-content/uploads/Alien_chestburster.jpg
  14. Best Buy and LP in the same sentence. Never thought I'd see the day
  15. Fuck, thats me Well I took a shower this morning....
  16. OJC: Clifford Brown Quartet in Paris Clifford Brown Sextet in Paris ($ = ouch ) Clifford Brown Big Band in Paris Clifford Brown Memorial Non-OJC: Jimmy Smith - Root Down Jimmy Smith - Grooving at Small's Paradise
  17. I bet that gives a nice back massage
  18. I should listen to this tonight. I was looking for the DCC a while back (maybe a year ago?) on ebay. New, sealed copies were + $400 I've got a digital version now, though I should post a comparison of the DCC and a vinyl transfer I had done. Remind me to do so if I dont post it tonight. **edit: Provided I have it on the hard drives it is on currently at my house.
  19. Pinhole cameras FTW. I made one out of a Double Gulp cup from 711 in college.
  20. I dont have TeamSpeak (refuse to have headphones with mics ), but let me know if you ever play Fear Combat multiplayer. Check out Prison City Games control section. Oh BTW, the multiplayer is 100% free download, legal
  21. Oh, well in that case, she's just a bad apple
  22. Oh, believe me, the nice part of schedules will change. Then again, I'm usually at work at 7AM Glad you like the new job. Maybe the office mate doesnt like Free Jazz in general? When I bring up jazz to people my age, their eyes tend to glaze over like I'm CSpan.
