How's the reliability on the lower end SSDs?
I've seen some $200 SSDs and I've been contemplating 'upgrading' (Space is not a concern). However I've seen quite a few reviews which seem to indicate a high failure rate?
Opinions please.
So, me and friend pool some money together to buy a few SSDs off ebay.
After I pay the scam artist, they drop off the face of the Earth and I have to open a claims against them in order to have them ship out.
So, while I?m away from the weekend the package shows up.
They drop kick it to me...

Hi all.
I'm looking for a web host who doesn't care if I web crawl. I used to use Layeredtech for a while (for a different purpose) but I read in their TOS that they don't want webcrawling on their network.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.
I used to used layered tech on and off, but they seem to have gotten bigger and there are no more 60$ a month hosts.
Anyone know of a reliable cheap place? I don't need the lowest latency but dependability and low cost.
Thanks again guys.
Hi,
I'm curious if anyone has gone through the process of filing a patent?
I have a semi-worthless invention to try to invent.
Can you do it yourself? What pitfalls are there to watch out for?
Thanks,

The other day I shifted my weight and my laptop turned off.
It is a Dell Inspiron 5100.
I swapped the processor, and ram for known good ones. With either processor, it would turn on (no video) then turns off by itself about 5-7 seconds later.
Without a processor it turns on (again no...

Yes, I know they were tried in civl court, but they were quoting some FBI officials stating that drug dealers still run their ring (reuben castro) very effectively?
I wonder why we don;t ship them off there, so they stop causing trouble?

Hi,
I'm trying to help my brother in law upgrade his POS receipt printers, right now he uses Star Micronics, dot matrix printers. He would like to use a brand that has windows drivers so the system can be moved to a less proprietary system.

This POs overheats so I swapped teh original chip 2.4 desktop chip for a mobile celeron 2.0ghz (31watt).
It still overheats. Can you adjust the multiplier + voltage with the P4M using Crystal CPUID? I'd like to lower the voltage...
Would someone be kind enough to post a picture of what is underneath the metal paper tray or just explain? I dislodged the paper counter clip and can't figure out how to get it back to working condition again. I think I am missing something underneath the metal holding tray.
Thank you very much.

Still, the problem persists.
Any ideas?

What program do I need to setup a streaming mp3 server on FreeeBSD 5.0?
I did a quick search and only found
Icecast 1.3.7 source
Shout 0.8.0 source
Icecasts doesn't support Mp3 format (licensing issues?)
Is Shout the only way to go?
Any other alternatives?
Thanks.
