    Texas Sets New Wind Power Record

    @ $11 BILLION / Year paid by electric customers !!!!! That is an EPA estimate - I know that they would NEVER estimate wrong, or slant things their way ... NEVER! Face it, the EPA is waging war on carbon based energy. I can hardly wait for them to get their hands on fracking - then the US...

    Texas Sets New Wind Power Record

    You mean "trust" the same EPA that saddled us with $16 Billion/year on reducing mercury? "EPA's health impact estimates focus on the harm done to a theoretical child whose mother consumes 139 pounds of fish that was self-caught from water at the 95th percentile level of methyl mercury...

    What's a good SATA/IDE to USB 3.0 adapter?

    I'm also interested in this - AND in what USB 3.0 hub will work with it. I have a BlacX USB 3 docking station that works OK with my Lenovo T430s notebook (Win7) when connected directly, but not through a hub.

    Synology NAS vs. Router + USB jbod enclosure?

    FWIW, I am no NAS expert - but I recently installed a Synology 1513+ w/5 x 4TB Seagate HDD, and I could barely believe how simple it was to set up a a RAID 5 Volume. I stuck it in the basement, and mostly just forget about it. Honestly, it was a pleasant surprise that it was so easy, and a...

    Kaspersky Update Hoses Internet Access For XP Users

    >> I don't have any sympathy for people (including businesses) that are still running XP << Jeez - spoken like a True Tech Snob !! I wonder if you will be singing the same tune when W7 nears EOL, and the only alternatives are all dumbed down OS designed for phones? I suppose you were a big...

    Seagate or Hitachi?

    Note that the Seagate drive you link has a 1 YEAR WARRANTY ! I think you may find the same drive in retail box w/5 year warranty if you look around.

    Which Ivy Bridge? New build.

    If you don't already know about it, take a look at what Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT) does. It is baked into current Intel systems. If you want to minimize possible maintenance, this might be easier than SSD + HDD. I recently installed this on a system used for daily office tasks and was...

    Where are the Ivy Bridge Ultrabooks?

    I have looked at UltraBooks that are coming up, and have a problem - NO WIRED NETWORK!! There is no way I am going to shell out $1000 (+ insurance) and have to carry around a dongle. AMD seems to have ultrabook equivalents coming (see HP) that, although a tad thicker, fit my usage much better...

    Windows Thunderbolt port with Apple Thunderbolt Display?

    I'm having a lot of trouble seeing the wonder that is Thunderbolt. It is way too expensive - price some Thunderbolt cables! It is completely Intel proprietary - which may have something to do with Apple's fascination with it. USB3 DisplayPort. The potential to daisy-chain is pretty cool...
