  1. Re:Hiren's... on Software To Diagnose Faulty PC Hardware? · · Score: 1

    Bittorrent is your friend there - he cannot host it because as others have said, a lot (not all) of the tools are pirated - a decent tracker or even a google search will help you.

  2. Re:hmmmm on Choosing a Personal Printer For the Long Haul · · Score: 1

    I also have a Brother 2070N printer, and it has worked flawlessly for me. Small, compact, no paper feeding issues. An after-marker toner cartridge is about $35 or less, about $50 for the OEM. I paid $50 for it on sale at Office Depot. Has network, parallel, and USB connection (I think, I just use the network port, so may be wrong about what other ports it has).

    This stuff is designed, planned, coded for and integrated over a number of years and is very static. No changes. If there has to be changes, they're done under a quality control methods so strict that, yes, Duke Nukem 3D might see the light of day first.

    Uhhhmmmmm....I think Duke Nukem 3D HAS seen the light of day.....
    Maybe, just maybe, you mean that piece of vaporware called Duke Nukem FOREVER?

    As far as air pressure goes, there ARE vent holes in the drives, and a small (about 1 cm square or so) filter to filter the air. The air pressure inside is equal to the air pressure outside. As far as moisture goes, that's why you want to let a drive acclimate to the air temperature that it will be powered up in. If, for instance, you bring a laptop in from the trunk of your car when it is 30 degrees outside, it is ALWAYS a good idea to let it sit for 3-4 hours, if not longer, before you turn it on. Letting it get to the surrounding air temperature before powering it on allows whatever condensation might form to evaporate. If you get the chance, grab an old, dead drive, and usually a T-6 Torx bit, and pull one apart to see how it works. The magnets that are used on the head positioning system are some of the most powerful I've ever come across, and are enough to leave a blood blister if you let your finger get in between two of them when the decide to come together.
