I need steep discounts on unicorn fodder.

Yesterday, I got a $230 GPS and a $199 Cordless Drill/Driver with a full accessory kit for $99 each

I'll give one each to my wife and kid so they can give them back to me on Christmas morning. I will be a Happy Lizard indeed

Not that I've gotten my unicorns yet. But my dog likes the stuff.

A talking watch for $200! One that even knows your name already!

Cato, the biography of Sir Richard Burton arrived today.
Thank you again for the recommendation!

I understand the appeal of $5,000 bikes, but I don't get the appeal of $500 watches. I would never recommend buying a bike at Wal Mart, but I bought my watch there. And when it needs a battery, I double my investment. Maybe my explanation to those who don't get the bike thing will work for the watch: It may be more than you need, but it's not more than you can appreciate.

I always regretted not buy that 20 dollar Rolex when I shopped in Mexico..
I mean..Who would know?

Looks like one of my external hard drives went belly up. Every couple of years I lose a hard drive, it seems, since I've had a personal computer (from back in the early 80's).

So I may indeed be shopping for a good deal at Amazon on an external hard drive.

Did you have it backed up?

18 Daniel Ballard  Sat, Nov 28, 2009 1:18:27pm

re: #4 Charles

The finish is as high tech as it gets. Vapor deposited finish. It would probably stay black for two generations. A $200 watch you can hand down.

re: #17 HoosierHoops

I keep multiple copies of my important information, always have. The disk in question had two partitions which I used for storing lots of picture files, etc. All are on other media too, but I used that device as a sort of dumping ground for working files. The only thing that had not been backed up were some images I worked on last week... for a web page, now I'll have to do those over.

These mechanical memory drives... they're so last century.

re: #17 HoosierHoops

I should say, it is an intermittent error too... right now I was able to mount the partitions... but sometimes they are not available, and the OSX disk repair program can do nothing to fix this. Probably an unreliable hardware problem that portends total failure.

Best get my ass off to the Amazon store and order a new drive.

re: #22 freetoken

Going with the solid state flash tech, or spinning discs? I am pondering the choice for my stock library. 15,000 images. Thousands of big raw files.

24 freetoken  Sat, Nov 28, 2009 1:29:27pm

re: #23 Rightwingconspirator

The problem with solid state secondary memory is the cost. Those little spinning disks are just less expensive.

For a cool Million you could buy a PB SANS system with high performance SCSI drives and a Net appliance to connect to your home network with fiber optics.
Then you could die in peace.

re: #25 HoosierHoops

Hope they take checks... I'm a greedy user. I want rapid access to the whole lot. I think that is about to end. My newer camera is about 10 to 12 meg per image. That bloats into a big photoshop file with the layers etc. When I use HDR, oh man they get huge.

What kind of camera? Sounds nice..and very pricey.. I'm jealous

I usually run my Canon 40D. A "semi" pro SLR. For the variety of subjects I try to do well, I must have at least an SLR. These days editors are harder to impress. I started a product photo studio this year.

Stuff. We sure do like it. Tragically, our addiction to inexpensive gadgets and shiny things isn't so great when it comes out the other end.

This is just like Eastern Europe under Communism; until the people who have to live with it have the power to force a change, and the local officials have to answer to them for their jobs, and not to some distant Politico who never has to see the pollution, there will be no change.

As long as the world accepts goods from places with exploitation child labor, an utter lack of concern for the environment, etc, combating AGW is in big trouble. My cell phone does not need to be THAT cheap.

The corruption that weaves between the Chinese government and industry won't let change happen. Too much money to be made. Cancer villages, whole dead rivers, industrial sewage, ground water pollution, and heavy industrial air pollution are just the price of doing business.

You can get a 32GB OCZ Vertex for $135 at NewEgg. That plenty to use as an OS boot drive or for file folders you want supper fast access to.

re: #34 FrogMarch

They offered to cut their emission 40%, more than doubling our most ambitious efforts. I think it is a huge false dramatic geopolitical play- We spend and spend on changing our ways, they don't. Our economy suffers far more. I have no trust in their "offer".

This is an economic strategy to diminish our power overseas, Asia in particular. AGW is now a part of super powers tools for influence and expanding regional powers.

Well, leaving aside AGW, and taking up the issue of "kids drinking and breathing toxic crap," nothing will happen until the politicians are accountable. Outside political pressure merely makes them hide the data. Outside economic pressure will work only when the truth of the data can be verified.

The problem is the Chinese government does not care about their people and they don't care about being stewards to the environment. This is how they keep their people employed. There is no incentive to clean up. I think you are right in that they are lying when they make an offer or a promise to cut emissions. I'm sick of promises.
Deliver.

Quite so. Their closed society lets them get away with it. Or used to.

re: #35 Bagua

I may have to get something like that, and leave the library on mirrored spinning drives. $135 gets a decent terabyte spinner. But that gets slow.

If you need a terrabyte it is a bid pricey to go SSD. Depending on your use you'll still get a very noticeable and pleasant speed boost from moving your OS and active files to a 30 - 128gig SSD.

Can see why as long as you Still Wear a Watch. More or less stopped wearing watches as I got into Cellphones. Bass Ackwards Pocket Watches they may be, and they tell time precisely just the same. -S-

I got a Kindle today - a completely unexpected gift - and I LOVE it! I've already downloaded about 50 free books (Melville, Dostoevsky, Conrad, Wodehouse, Chesterton, Doyle, etc). Sweet! Highly recommended for the bibliophile - you won't miss the 'real' book-feel.

Also - same topic - you can probably get a free month of Amazon Prime (free two-day shipping). For sure if you open a new account.
