They completely destroyed Megaupload. It's gone. It will NEVER recover. Other sites have been shutting down in mass numbers because they're all scared to shit of the same thing happening to them. Megaupload was the first summary execution.-Renegade (June 28, 2012, 11:01 AM)

The OP has now said the drive was dropped, (it's like getting blood from a stone with some people), if it was me, I wouldn't be using it any more - most likely the heads would have bounced which won't have done them any good.

Driver updates. Don't you just love it when it's that easy?-40hz (June 26, 2012, 05:27 AM)
Here's another tip that will work out great for you:
When a PC has been transported (even over a small distance like 10 cm.) it is possible that (a) connector(s) got loose. Each and every time! I can't warn people enough about that. If I got 1000 USD for each time I solved a (hairy) situation with the solution above I could have stopped working for a living 5 years ago. People underestimate this problem in so many ways that it baffles me.-Shades (June 22, 2012, 01:21 PM)

Tense Film Scenes Trigger Brain Activity[/b]Visual and auditory stimuli that elicit high levels of engagement and emotional response can be linked to reliable patterns of brain activity, a team of researchers from The City College of New York and Columbia University reports. Their findings could lead to new ways for producers of films, television programs and commercials to predict what kinds of scenes their audiences will respond to.-Stephen66515 (June 15, 2012, 05:18 PM)
While I'm not seeking an argument or trying to get overly pedantic, I think this comes down to what you are going to use the drive for and whether or not you're prepared to wear the consequences.-4wd (June 20, 2012, 08:29 PM)
Whether or not you can find a program to mark existing bad sectors, that does not matter. My very sincere advice is: Do not attempt to continue using a HDD once you find it start developing bad sector. Just grabs everything on it ASAP while you still can (So far, Norton Ghost is the best in claiming the most out of a bad HDD)-tslim (June 20, 2012, 09:37 AM)

First of all, IMO credit monitoring is a huge fraud itself. It doesn’t really protect people at all; it just funnels even more money to the organizations that cause a lot of the credit fraud in the first place: the credit reporting companies. Credit monitoring alerts you AFTER someone has fraudulently opened an account in your name. What it does not do is prevent it in the first place. And in many cases the fraud perpetrator used information garnered from that same credit reporting company you're paying for the monitoring service. What a racket! These are the same companies that sell you a peek at your credit report for $10 - $12 but sell that same report to corporations for about $0.20! Yeah, I trust them almost as much as that Nigerian guy who has $11,438,00 waiting for me as soon as I send him my bank account number.-J-Mac (June 19, 2012, 11:38 AM)

Is Metro okay for keyboard access? Just wondering if you can flick through things quickly with just the keys.-nudone (June 18, 2012, 07:56 AM)
) in Metro.Interesting that they are targeting IE7 users only and offering browser suggestions that do not include upgrading to a newer version of IE. I wonder why that is?-app103 (June 15, 2012, 12:31 PM)
I don't mind a bit of IE7 bashing ... But when they imply that Safari is a "better browser" ...(Seriously??)... Credibility=0.I've never done web developing, but my notion was that from a web developer's point of view, safari is similar to chrome (i.e. another webkit based browser) and hence respects many more web standards than ie does?-Stoic Joker (June 14, 2012, 04:00 PM)-jgpaiva (June 15, 2012, 09:29 AM)
