    Purchasing a Hard Disk

    Hi, Firewire works better than USB 2.0, as it doesn't make use of your CPU to transfer data. The only problem is that older computers rarely have the interface. On every new computers I've seen, with a few exceptions (ie. very low-end models) have at least one Firewire port. eSATA is starting...

    So what do you guys think of my design?

    I see two things : 1. Change the main page font, Times New Roman doesn't look good on a screen. 2. Paragraphs on the main page would help, the text is hard to follow. Hope this helps!

    Or, if you have more money, get the new 300GB VelociRaptor.

    Review my website (template)

    Better now? There still are no pictures (other than corners), but they should come. That 7 columns x 21 rows table was LONG to code... (The whole top section is made of a single table. That means I can change the color of every white borders in the menu, but I don't really want or need to)...

    Review my website (template)

    Images... Coming Soon! So far, I put rounded corners on the box, not the menu, but there's lots of (copy-pasted) code just for these. Also, I'm not that CSS-friendly, even though I should. (I use "old-style" coding unless there's no other choice. ie. the site was <div> free until these rounded...

    Review my website (template)

    Hi all, I'd like you to review my website. ( http://dmsaudio.ca/ or http://dmsaudio.exofire.net/ ) The PHP file was made in a few hours while reading PHP 101 guides. The site was hosted on ZendURL previously, but they closed their doors so I switched to x10hosting. I made most of the layout...

    Just Updated!!!!!

    Hi Doug, 1. You could use other fonts than Times New Roman, I know it's the default font, but it makes me sick when I see it on a website. 2. The title on some pages is "Home | About Us | Ga..." rather than "Still Photo Memories". 3. On your home page, there's the "About us " link, that...

    Flash + HDD = ?

    I think we were not talking about USB flash here but SSD drives (That's simply flash memory in an hard disk drive form factor and using IDE or SATA connections) SSD is faster than USB drives because they put the flash chips in parallel (mostly with more expensive models though). Otherwise...

    Control my drive speed?

    I only know Nero DriveSpeed, but you tried it. Or, I think I remember about an Asus utility, but it might be locked to Asus drives or mainboards.

    Re: Space scientist says texting is four times more expensive than receiving scientif Not that bad, our cell phone provider charges $2 per kB if we use Internet on the phone. (That's £1000 per MB)

    Purchasing a Hard Disk

    Another tip, to save money, check the price per gigabyte when buying an hard drive. For example, 80GB drives often cost only <$10 less than 160GB drive, and a single 1TB drive costs more than two 500GB drives. Right now, the sweet spot is 500GB (costs around $80). Another thing to note is...

    WHich is the best Antivirus

    Personally, I don't use one, I just do an online scan from time to time to find nothing. ;-) But, on computers where I'm not the only user, I used to install AVG Free 7.5. The problem is that it's discontinued and AVG Free 8.0 is a real resource hog. I tried avast! with the basic minimumm...

    Flash + HDD = ?

    Well, HDDs are cheaper, have more available space and transfer rates are quite high. Flash costs a lot to perform as fast as an HDD and space isn't that great. There are RAM-based HDDs that use a battery backup in case of power failure, but the only affordable model that exists is limited to...
