Oh, sorry for the lack of clarity - in the parent post I was referring to full size 3.5" drives in the external cases. The 3.5" give you the value for money, and the internal 2.5" gives you the quiet running.
I've recently grown fond of external USB2 HDD cases.
Combining an internal 2.5" drive and external USB drives would be quite practical. You could leave the external drives off (and quiet) most of the time, hot pluging them only when you need them.
The problem is the power bricks have poor power factors and draw non linear currents. In laymans terms, whilst they consume an average of 90W, the inverter cops the effects of a 130W load.
I though Li-Ion was charged much differently to other NiCad/NiMH types.
In NiCad/NiMH, the chargers generally use a constant current mode, watching the battery voltage and detecting the peak in order to end the charging cycle.
With li-Ion, the above approach is too risky in relation to overcharging. Lithium chargers use constant current for 70% - 80% of the charge, then drop back into constant voltage mode. This means the initial charge is quick, but takes a long time to complete - as the battery voltage increases there is less differential between the charger and battery so the current (and thus power transfer) drops.
PS - for reference, im using a Latitude D810. Im not sure if that one is a similar model because the screen doesnt look wide enough (D810 is widescreen 1680 x 1050)
I am typing this from a dell laptop right now, and I assure you there is a rectangular white logo printed on the bottom centre of the screen. The black indicator panel on the bottom right of the screen also matches.
Now....where did I put that extinguisher.

I agree with nick, even before seeing the description. There used to be an experimental patch for h.323 netfilter connection tracking, which is now included with the kernel.
Oh, and I also agree with nick about the Pedant bit.
Modern isolation procedures actually get you to *padlock* the isolation point, as well as hang the flimsy little Personal Danger Tag. There is no way shit like this should happen.
That's a pretty broad statement considering he actually said:
Some Creative Commons licenses are free licenses; most permit at least noncommercial verbatim copying. But some, such as the Sampling Licenses and Developing Countries Licenses, don't even permit that, which makes them unacceptable to use for any kind of work. All these licenses have in common is a label, but people regularly mistake that common label for something substantial.
I no longer endorse Creative Commons. I cannot endorse Creative Commons as a whole, because some of its licenses are unacceptable. It would be self-delusion to try to endorse just some of the Creative Commons licenses, because people lump them together; they will misconstrue any endorsement of some as a blanket endorsement of all. I therefore find myself constrained to reject Creative Commons entirely.
My understanding is that Australia does have a reasonable health & welfare system, so thats a big carrot (stick?) to wave. But it's still not compulsory.
The alternative is private health care.
In many cases (eg emergency care), it is much better to use the public health system than the private one. The government foots the bill for emergency care, and the doctors in the public system, are excellent. Pretty much everyone with private health insureance does this.
Private health insurance is really only usefull for elective surgury. It is still worth having for many poeple though, as it can be misery on public waiting lists.

My external usb2 2.5" drive has been very reliable running from USB power. I've transferrred many 10's of GB back and forth without issue.
Even then, the cable for it comes with a spare "power only" USB connector you can get parallel power.
I have a 2.5" drive in an external USB case, and it's so quiet I cant even tell when it's running.

Just a guess, but I think they lied and the person is still working there.
He's probably even been given a bonus for actually following procedure well and stopping a cancelation.

Im sure you were being funny, but your comment would also suit +1 Informative ;)
Yeah, and 15 variations of CSI and "Law and Order" are so thrilling! And lets not forget REALITY TV!!!

Many dc-dc converters can be 80-95% efficient over a wide range of voltages.
Yeah, great....so why is every man and his dog is trying to buy Uranium from Austalia right now?
get a Nokia.
The magnetic field strength required to modify data on a hard drive is massive. To acheive it you'd either need:
1) To be very close - ie pull the drive apart and rub a magnet on the platter
2) Have an insanely strong magnet - can someone lend me an MRI machine?
he's obviously willing to make veiled threats ('The Columbine shooters were bullied, and now you're bullying us' seems potentially threatening to me)
Grow up. It's comparison, not a threat.
Hmm, I just read the Wikipedia link and it there was quite a bit of info about the lossless capabilities of the new windows format.
Umm, I'd rather greater support for lossless comression than no compression.
Better not walk on a white sand beach then, it's practically the same thing.
Whilst the plasma is very, very hot, there is also very little of it. It cools pretty quickly when uncontained.

Agreed, but their "filmclips" they were mostly just live performances of their songs, as opposed to the full on short-film filmclips of today.
I was suprised to see that this video isnt a plain (and good) old live one.
