Re: [CGUYS] Where's my computer?
I have been following this thread, and I found the number of 10,000 per month just astounding. But if you figure that is 333 per day, that probably comes out to something like one a day at every airport around the country. And then when you figure out how many business travelers are late for their flights, disoriented by the TSA procedures, busy talking on their cellphones, or just scatterbrained, I guess the number doesn't sound that bad. But the fact that so few people actually try to recover them, THAT I find amazing. Mike Tony B wrote: Even including thefts, this just doesn't sound plausible. Can anyone find the *actual study*? Following a bunch of links they all just seem to link to each other.

Re: [CGUYS] Where's my computer?
I think the study is flawed. If not, why hasn't any of us heard of this auction of thousands of unclaimed laptops? What are the odds that none of them has sensitive information and wouldn't have made the news? And yes, most definitely, if someone were to 'forget' a laptop at an airport I would expect *whoever* finds it to go out of their way to reunite it with the owner, not just take it home and sell it, or throw it in an auction bin. And how are we to believe even hurried travelers are going to forget something as heavy and obvious as a laptop??? You might forget a kid, but not a laptop. I have yet to see a pile of forgotten laptops at any TSA screening area. Much more likely, since the study includes it, is theft. And that's why so many people say they aren't going to try to get it back - because there's basically nothing they can do, not because they left it with TSA. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Unless you're on a long-term contract, you should be able to cancel everything as of that day and not have to pay for anything you don't or won't use.

Re: [CGUYS] Where's my computer?
I've been watching this thread and I'm really tired of Mr. Rigby's unsubstantiated accusations of theft by TSA employees. The article says that 69% of the laptops are not reclaimed it does NOT say they were not recovered. I work for TSA and most of the people I work with are HONEST people interested in ensuring the flying public can safely get from point A to point B. Some are young people just entering the workforce, some are retirees supplementing their income, and some of them are jerks. However, theft is not tolerated. I have seen officers terminated for failing to turn in the change people leave in the plastic bowls. So, please stop spouting random garbage about TSA stealing thousands of laptops. If you are interesting in the real world of lost laptops at airport security here it is: When a computer is left at a security checkpoint, a page announcing the lost computer is sent out if the checkpoint has access to a paging system. Otherwise, the computer is held at the security checkpoint until the end of the shift and then turned over to the local TSA operations center. The operations center logs the laptop serial number and turns it over to airport lost and found. Most airports maintain their lost and found inventory for a specific period of time then auction off the items. Check local auctions to find out when they auction off lost and found items and you can probably get your hands on a decent laptop at a very good price. Having read the article I do believe that 10,000 laptops are left at airports every month. On any given day 5+ laptops are left at my airport and my airport probably isn't in the 36 busiest category. Most of these laptops are left by travelers rushing to catch a flight. Howard Steve Rigby wrote: On Jul 8, 2008, at 10:47 AM, Tony B wrote: Whadda ya mean, much more likely?

Re: [CGUYS] Message from Win XP
Flaky memory? Some memory will pass a test that reads the memory address immediately after it has been written, but will fail if the read occurs many minutes later. The leak (loss of charge) is slow, and it takes a while for the 1 to bleed down to a 0. When a memory address can't be read it usually means that the read has failed CRC check or whatever data validation process each read is subjected to.

Re: [CGUYS] Message from Win XP
I was going to suggest swapping the position of you memory boards and see if you don't end up with errors in other applications - a sure sign that you have one bad memory board. Mike Fred Holmes wrote: Flaky memory? Some memory will pass a test that reads the memory address immediately after it has been written, but will fail if the read occurs many minutes later. The leak (loss of charge) is slow, and it takes a while for the 1 to bleed down to a 0. When a memory address can't be read it usually means that the read has failed CRC check or whatever data validation process each read is subjected to.

You have explained the process that is to be employed by TSA if they come upon a computer that has been left behind, and I am sure that everyone appreciated your explanation.

Re: [CGUYS] US is access loser
I agree, but the studies were for adults. I don't believe the safety of rf exposure to young children over time is settled science. Wouldn't you be loath to accept such exposure as a PZB member only to find out 20 years down the road those kids are sick from it ?? Then you should really oppose the practice of giving children cell phones, the RF exposure from a cell phone next to the head is a lot higher than that from any cell phone tower. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
