I don't care about performance, I care about UI latency. Whatever I'm doing at the computer only I use is by definition the most important job the computer has at the moment. Shame nobody in the OS design business realizes this.
Hmm, that's unusual. When you plug in after cleaning out the old devices, what happens? In my case, the partitions come back and function as per normal.
Does the device appear in Disk Management at all? Could be you need to try formatting again. Try it on another machine that has never had that drive plugged in, see what happens.
Failing that, run manufacturer's diagnostic tools on it (might need to drop it into a tower) if you haven't already. If that comes back OK, try installing an OS on it. Sounds weird, but BeOS resurrected a "dead" drive for me.:)
See how you go.

USB Drives — Recovery?

Nah, your data is fine. Windows is just really, really bad at external drives. I kick the power out of mine all the time, and this happens. Here's my fix. You can leave the drive plugged in.
What you will have is a whole heap of devices that are faded (i.e. hidden) under the USB drop down (usually "USB Mass Storgae Device", and also under Disk drives (you should be able to recognise your drive).
Remove all of these hidden devices, then eject the drive and remove the other few entries. Reboot.
Log in. Plug your drive back in, and let it hardware detect. Check My Computer, and you should be OK!
What if you've lost your voice through injury or illness?
Would you be using a phone in that case?

IANA Programmer, but I work around them:
Wouldn't focus upon the concepts be a better way to do it? Someone who has spent ten to twelve years writing code should be capable in pretty much any environment, and able to learn a language in a relatively short period, what with buzzwords and all. If you focus on Python, you've learned Python, but if you focus on say, object-orientation, you can use that with any tool that utilizes that concept, be it FOSS or proprietry. And if your commercial tool of choice fades away after a few years, wouldn't you have an easier time of retraining than the guy who learned a language and not the general concepts?
Two days ago on XP. A fault caused by Microsoft's own updates caused the Windows Logon Process to crash and burn, resulting in BSOD. I did have a link specifiying which updates had to be uninstalled via Recovery Console, but I've not got it now.
Otherwise, all the BSOD's I've seen on XP are faulty third party drivers.
I would say because you don't know it's coming. I've had that many calls. "I don't receive email" -- first thing I check is the webmail interface, and sure enough, there's a relatively large file. Delete that (after checking), and all is well.

Be Inc did.
Why would you need to provide two machines per person? Just set up a hot desk area that's as big as it needs to be.

What's so funny about that? I don't see it.
Oh shit, a Cabbage Patch dissenter! Run and hide man they'll be coming for you, chomp chomp chomp gulp and no FunkSoulBrother no more.
Wait a second, someone's knocking.
I am intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. Were you high when you wrote that?

Screw the hot sauce! Regrow the beer!
WRT number eight, you might try holding down the mouse button when you turn on the machine. A bit obtuse, but it's worked for me.

Try changing the key using this little tool.
IIRC it's just scripts from MS packed up in a nice easy front-end. I've used it several times with success.
Not to diminish the grandparent's post in any way, but +90% of the post was quotes from other sources, which can be read in lieu of Slashdot.
Sorry, just had to slash that diminutive spark of hope that arose within you. After all, this is Slashdot.
Not sure about you, but the price of the PS3 scares the shit out of me. :)

Well, they did say the year's best gadgets.
I had the same issue, I think. Have a look at this link:
