Way overblown. Earlier SSDs and/or firmware did indeed have some performance degradation over time, but this needs to be put in some perspective: 1. You generally needed to run synthetic benchmarks over and over again, focusing on random write, to create the situation. 2. Even if you somehow got

Hello, Anyone suggest a good brand of cable for in wall network runs of cat 6? They will be terminated and wall plates/jacks put in and then we will use patch cable from there to the device. I understand solid core is the way to go for the in wall runs, 24 AWG is the best? -- Regards, joeuser

A lot of these folders are NTFS junctions, which Explorer doesn't support very well. If you look at the folder in a command prompt you'll see the type is JUNCTION instead of DIR. The folders have been moved under the AppData folder in Vista and the junctions support older apps that don't

I wouldn't encourage anyone to use that approach. Many of the protections afforded by UAC are bypassed when running as _the_ local Administrator account. While UAC in Vista was annoying enough that most users, myself included, turned it off--I run with it enabled in W7, and we lock it on by GPO at
