Cox's embedded ebay and yahoo servers are down

Good idea. Unfortunately, they give me the same names and ips. I can't believe that all of ebay's name servers are connected directly to the cox backbone in Los Angeles. Maybe, but I don't think so. Perhaps, the routers are smart enough so that they've got me mousetrapped, no matter what...

Cox's embedded ebay and yahoo servers are down

This is the second day now that I can't access my ebay account, because cox won't let me use the real ebay servers. I'm sure I could use any of the ebay servers, but I can't get their IP number. All dns requests coming out of cox's Arizona and California pipeline are given the IPs of the cox...

Hitachi 1TB in stock!!!!!!!!!!!!

For a given rpm, the speed of the edge of the platter is proportional to the diameter. The platters that Hitachi is using would fail (break apart?) at 7200 rpm, if they were made 5 1/4". That's why 10,000 rpm drives have lower data densities and higher prices. The large, low performance...

Large Pizza Hut Pizza $8.99 with first internet order

5 is the smallest integer that is between 4 and 20. There is no inconsistency.

Well, that's my understanding, but I haven't received a penny or any acknowledgement that I ever will.

May 1st-National Pizza Day @ Pizza Hut...Free slice of pizza

I've worked for them. Not only are the ingredients low-quality and artificial, the kitchens were the filthiest I've ever worked in. But for some reason, the customers were very loyal. They liked what they got. Thanks for the tip, OP! Mmmm - greasy pepperoni pizza!

Is there a difference between PC2 5300 and PC2 5400 RAM

Yeah, it was a boring question. I was just wondering if there was some kind of compatability "gotcha" I wasn't seeing. Just looking for memory to go along with those AMDX2 Brisbanes. I have no DDR2 and if I want to run Windows inside of Linux, I'm going to need a fair amount of RAM.

Is there a difference between PC2 5300 and PC2 5400 RAM

And if I multiply the frequency, 667MHz, by the bus width, 8 bytes, I get 5336 - somewhere in between. Is there any difference between these RAM sticks? 5300 5400

Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise

That's pretty interesting as well. They don't really say much about what it does, though. They do say it requires a router. I wonder if that's like W2k Pro, where it will only connection share to a reserved (internal) IP address, so you have to have a router to accept the public IP. But if...

Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise

I was surprised to find that one can get this kind of class software free for six months. I guess Microsoft doesn't want to give anyone a reason to go with Linux, because Server 2007 isn't ready yet. Click - Download trial software It's pretty no-nonsense. Once it establishes a network...

Fry's in store Seagate 300GB SATAII Barracuda 7200.10 -- $79.99 no rebate

What makes you think they're 7200.10s? I believe they are 7200.9s. You can get a 7200.10 250G for $75 at newegg or a 320G for $85.

Western Digital WD5000AAKS @ ZZF $136.5 Shipped

This drive's a monster. It could be the fastest 7200 rpm drive made.

Warm at least.

One would think that if one wanted the straight dope, one should be able to get it from the manufacturer. But that's not the way the world works. Yes, in my opinion and based on my experience, Newegg is a more reliable source of information about Seagate drives than Seagate. Seagate's...

Warm at least.

Your reference does indeed claim that 7200.10 drives feature perpendicular recording technology. It does not, however, say that 7200.9 drives do not. Newer 7200.9 drives with 160GB platters also use perpendicular recording. Click on the specifications tab on this link. Sorry, I couldn't...
