No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

now it worked for me, but when I refreshed the page a couple of times it produced the error. Maybe it's a problem with the MSNBC site and my settings.
ETA: Deleted history, cookies, updated extensions, and rebooted. Still doing it. Maybe I'll have to reinstall.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

For a while I could not go to the MSNBC Opinions section using Mozilla, as it would crash every single time.
eta: On OS X. Hasn't happened for about six months or a year.

Now this IDE To USB Drive Adapter would be useful for anyone, even techs when helping, transferring old hard drive data to a new hard drive. You won't even have to open the new machine and attach the drive.
Not that the concept is new, but the dropping of the price point is welcome.

When it says, "Bus Power design," does that mean it's powered from the computer's USB port? That would be unusual, as Firewire can supply a lot more power to devices than USB can. (Or did they improve that on USB 2?)
Anyway, my iBook has Firewire but only USB 1 or 1.1 or whatever.

Yeah, that is cheap. I paid about $79 (I think) for the same thing, except it has the enclosure. (Also, Firewire, but USB was the same price.)

I believe it is indeed powered by the USB connection.
However, even since 1.0 USB there have been people making lights to run off USB. Notebook hard drives are fairly low in power consumption, so I can see that as acceptable.

I like the enclosureless design, because it makes the task at hand quicker. If I wanted to enclose it, it wouldn't take much, tho.
But for short term use? It would be quite handy. Easily transportable from site to site.
