Really the only good use of a SSD over a conventional rotating disk is in an application where the computer may be exposed to vibration. An SSD is not affected at all by vibration whereas a rotating disk can be brought to its knees. Some of the read/write speeds are really not very noticeably different, manufacturers exaggerate their specs beyond belief. Usually the rates they quote are only burst speeds that the drives can't sustain.

Hello all,
I'm facing a problem with a LASERJET HP printer:
When I try to print there from any computer in the network the printer prints with some errors... it is like in some places a shadow of what has been printed is appearing.
I've tried to clean the printer from the printer control panel (standing in front of the printer and pressing keys there).
Nothing has changed.
HP recommends me to use HP printer TOOLBOX, but I can't get it from the CDROM neither from the download section of the HP web page...
Do you know if I should make a triple combo un the minesweeper software prior to try to find this software?
Any pointer will be appreciated!
Thank you in advance.

Hello Hans!
Downloaded it, tried it and... everything is as before... I mean... all the basic settings are ok, IP, network, status... printer gives proper feedback to the computer...
I can't access to anywhere to fix things... realign, clean... strange behavior...
Need this toolbox software... 
Thank you for your feedback though...

Think that the printer is wasted...
Thank you for your answer...

If it was my printer, I guess I would give it a good cleaning inside and try to replace toner cartridge (even if current cartridge is not empty).

It sounds like an internal problem with the printer, Joan. The fuser may be bad, or some other major module inside. I believe there's a diagnostic you can run from the front panel that will display a number for any faults it detects; that may be your best bet. The symptoms you describe don't indicate a network problem.

Yep... I guess you are right...
Replacement printer needed now...
Thank you!

Not necessarily! I've replaced the fuser assembly on our HP LJ4700n a couple of times, and they're not expensive compared to a new printer. If the self test spits out a number, you can find information online about the failure. If that doesn't work, a few minutes on the phone or in an online chat with support can help to isolate the problem. I'd at least try to get an expert diagnosis and pricing for parts before shopping for a major item like this.

Hi All,
I have created a VM of Win xp by using VM Ware, but I am unable to access pendrive in it. So how to enable pendrive in that VM. I have tried by googling. It said that I need enable it by using Device Manager and Regedit. I tried both the options. The options that stated in the example are not there in my Device Manager and Registries both.
The Virtual Machine is showing some USBs but their names are like Bios and some other mother board item names, I dont know what those USBs are for but they are not accessing the my Pendrive data.
Can anybody please help me how to enable USB drive in my Virtual Machine
Thanks & Regards,

This probably won't help, but some programs (especially some MS ones) require the key to be created manually.
Also, have you tried: http://www.vmware.com/support/ws45/doc/devices_usb_ws.html[^]
See if you can crack this: b749f6c269a746243debc6488046e33f

Could you instead move the files on your USB drive to your hard drive, then access that from your VM?
This is not the age of reason, this is the age of flummery, and the day of the devious approach. Reason’s gone into the backrooms where it works to devise means by which people can be induced to emote in the desired direction.

Even if I move to my hard drive I cant access because VM runs on a different memory location which would not give access to host OS unless its connected through a network.
The best way is to either use USB or copy one by one to CD or DVD then copy that data from DVD to VM, which I am doing now since morning  , very time consuming. If there is any way to copy from Pendrive to VM that would be better and easier.
If anybody know please help me buddies, it would be appreciated. I googled it but not finding anything, anybody already know it, please me yaar.
Thanks in advance.

my vmplayer picks up flashdrives automatically but you can try going to the setings for you vm, hardware and "add" then look for your drive in the list that comes up.

I'm surprised that the VM you are using does not let you access a shared drive/folder on the host computer?
Watched code never compiles.

Have you ever tried to get VirtualBox to actually do that?

nope, but he said vm ware. it normally does do that.
Ive run it a number of times on various machines. which is why i was surprised to hear his wouldn't.

Oh, I knew that last summer, but I've forgotten now... hang on...
Oh, wait, you said VMware. Well, here are instructions for Microsoft Virtual PC, maybe it'll be similar:
The way to access a USB flash drive in the physical PC from the virtual PC requires that Virtual Machine Additions be installed in the virtual machine. You only need to do this once per virtual machine. In the Microsoft Virtual PC window select Action | Install or Update Virtual Machine Additions.
Once the Additions are installed in the Virtual PC, go to Edit | Settings | Shared Folders and click Share Folder...
Browse to the drive (or directory) you wish to access from inside the Virtual PC and click OK.
You should then see the drive in the Virtual PC's drive list.

I have never had trouble with VM ware 7. What version do you have?
ALso have tyou tried the 'add device' through the VM image settings menu item? Perhaps you need to explicitely add the USb device there?

Ohhh its really great man, thats why you are fat I am thin
I was just kidding, sorry if it hurts you. The issue is resolved by installing the VM Ware tools. I am able to copy from host to the VM and VM to the host. It solves the problems. Thanks for asking buddy.

No offence taken! (Actually, I am not really fat, its just a psuedonym I use because its offensive. )
Anyway, good to hear you got your problem resolved.

I am not 100% if this is in the right place...
I want to start making small robots using the Lego Robotics "toys", but I dont know where to start.
Googling has helped a bit however they talk about chip-boards and other stuff which makes life confusing as I do not know where to start!
I think the questions I am asking is:
1: What robot controller (circuit-board) do I need
2: Anything else apart from Lego to make it work?
Thanks

You can do a lot of basic stuff with just the Lego Mindstorm or equivalent and your computer.
I got one for my son years ago. Think of it like an erector set that you can program
once you get it built.
If you want to do advanced hardware/software projects then you will need to do some of your
own circuitry and such but learn the basics first then move on.

Weeeeeeeeell,
First of all, if you want to go on with Lego (nice option to start) then you should not need anything else than the items you can get from them (Mindstorms).
Then,
you can go to more pro items:
Maxon motors[^].
Pololu[^].
Microchip[^].
All those vendors can help you to get nice results...
With Pololu and Microchip you will be able to program using C... which is nice as you won't be learning the language basics and moreover you'll get a nice language to play with...
