Looking for High Powered Wireless Adapter

I'd try one of these if I absolutely needed a high powered adapter: http://www.streakwave.com/Itemdesc.asp?ic=WifiStation But first, I'd go for a better AP instead if possible, unless it's just going to be very long range either way.

Anyone make the transition from Android to WP?

Try 4th and Mayor for Foursquare access, a lot of people like it better than the official app. The Yelp thing was mostly a bummer because in our area you get check-in perks, like free tots at one of our favorite happy hour places. :) Also, checking in is the purpose of Foursquare, and a...

Anyone make the transition from Android to WP?

My wife won a WP7 in the #droidrage challenge. She wasn't sold, even though she'd had a Captivate and I had a Focus for last year and a half and I could beat her to doing most things. Since she switched, she's now sold on it, with no intention of going back. The Captivate, even after a...

Need drives for RAID on server - better than standard desktop SATA, cheaper than SAS

Another thing to mention on Exchange, speed wise: Spam comprises over half of the mail that comes into most orgs. Deal with the spam either outsourced (Postini, etc.) or on a network device (Cisco ASA + Trend, etc.) before the Exchange server and you'll gain that much performance...

Need drives for RAID on server - better than standard desktop SATA, cheaper than SAS

Kinda forgot about this for a long time, but I guess I could explain the three volumes a little better. The reasoning for that is the type of drive access and separating the spindles for that type of access. Logs on Exchange write sequentially, so if you have your log drives on a separate...

Need drives for RAID on server - better than standard desktop SATA, cheaper than SAS

For Exchange and six drives, I always go with 3 mirrors. The 5 adds unnecessary overhead when only using 3 drives, and then you're sharing the OS/Logs. I think on some controllers you can make one of the other mirrors, like the secondary OS drive a sort of hot spare where it mirrors the OS...

I need new Tires

I just go to the local speed shop that for some reason has the reputation of overpriced. I just ask them to and they match TireRack prices, don't cost any more than anywhere else for balancing, etc., and the last time I got tires I also got an oil change, new fuel filter, radiator flush, new...

The Brain Teaser Thread

I'm missing something in my reading of the hats thing. Either way, without knowing if there are an even number of hats, the last guy is 50/50 to die right? Why not just have the last guy call out the color of the hat in front of him and hope his is that color too? Seems easier than...

Expansion tank keeps developing a crack! VERY STRANGE

The cap could make the problem go away if it vents, but I agree with the previous comments about possible headgasket. Saw a similar thing in a race kart where we kept blowing the hoses off of the radiator completely or causing leaks at the seams. Ended up being a headgasket and we didn't see...

~$100k Production Performance Car Choice?

It all really depends. If I wanted a limited production sports car, that didn't have to be practical, I'd get a Noble M400. For practicality, i.e. if I was going to drive the thing every day and wanted a mix of style, power, room, etc., I'd go with a Maserati GranTurismo. Less power than some...

Manual tranny doing weird things?

I had a Honda that did that a few times, turned out to be a cracked motor mount. Was a cheap fix, and shifted way better all the way around afterwords. Also had some motor mount wear in my 911 and replacing them made the shifting much better. So I'd go after locating parts first, at least...

Anandtech BMW owners club

I actually thought the M5s were faster? I looked at getting one, but couldn't hang with the gas mileage, and the M3 is already quite a bit bigger than what I was used to driving.

Why do bmw 330 owners try to challenge a TL?

And dual exhaust, and bigger wheels, and yeah... comment was more of a goof than anything. Though you never know, plenty of people are plenty clueless, and would think "why the hell would a 328 owner do all that work instead of just buying the faster car, it doesn't even look right" ha
