After removing the Edge-to-Edge glass cover from my beast today, I was surprised to discover the anti glare screen behind it! No graininess and no reflections! I cracked and scratched the E2E glass in the process but it was well worth the trouble since am not going to need it anyway. Finally an AW machine where I don't have to look at my face reflection all day, lol!

Part nr. for BLACKCOMB XTX (supposedly 6990m) Let me know in case I missed something, so I can include it in the list.

Ok.. here's a tribute to more 90s coldwave (some of my favorite music ever). He is no longer with us, but he was a great artist/song writer. and one more for the Gears. He needs to know where good music came from....

Yup same cursor blinks a couple times... I couldn't remember what the name is but most bios have an option to perform more or less hardware boot tests and the minimal is the quickest option. Either way I suggest @Nospheratu that you upgrade to the latest Samsung firmware here. Problem is the upgrade erases entire drives contents so you'd have to reinstall the os. The link is for Samsung pm800 series 250 or 120gb ssd drives.. Its the same firmware. The firmware is for the ssd Dell sold in the R2. Must switch to ahci or Ata mode for the hard drive to perform the upgrade. You can switch back after firmware is updated. Drivers and Downloads

Lol thats what I was just about to say. It does that when you switch to battery.

I dont seen option like that in my .... and my is also blinking 3/4 times. I find the "intel PXE" more annoying than the blinking cursor, specially when i hit F12 in the wrong time is try boot from my WDS server... is nothing we can do about the blinking cursor... :S

Nothing to worry about the BIOS handling the boot to the OS...If you plug a testcard in the mpci slot it will tell you what happening exactly. In case you wonder after the POST (self test) Bios handling the control to INT19h calling the Operating System Debug code usually 00h More Info here The Master Boot Record (MBR) and What it Does and here http://www.ami.com/support/doc/AMIBIOS8_Checkpoint_and_Beep_Code_List_PUB.pdf every BIOS is different AMI, Award, Phoenix,O2, EFI, My favorite test equipments from them Home - Sintech Electronic CO.,LTD BTW: is part of CompTIA A+

Early 11.7 version is out as well, seems to fix some 11.6 stability issues. [email protected]

Did you try power drain? Pull AC, battery, CMOS battery and hold power button down for +-20 seconds? Remember some people needed that when upgrading their wifi card. I bought this DELL 4W00N Card, Wireless, PUMAPEAK33 | eBay as it has the same part code from Dell for the R2. Works flawlessly.

@Aikimox, i'll be very interested in the 1103 when it becomes available. Let us know when that happens ?

Yes, well, they used it to learn how to crack Phoenix BIOS, and released a version with the hidden options revealed but none of them when changed did anything.There were interesting stuff in there. Because it was useless they took it down from the site, erased the whole thread and nothing anymore even though he promised he'll get into it. I would love to know the full potential of this machine, it's not buggy as a few used to complain and most of the things were fixed. I'm happy they were able to do it for the R2 though.

i got a special 2.4ghz 2820qm for sell in the market place, if your looking to buy, heheheh

I see, you're right I doubt that 100/100 will work :(Good luck on the revival process.

But V2 is still a work in progress:

Crazy tennis

Hahahaha! Wow man, this is some old school shit right there! reminds me of the days of Astral Projection!! Ahh, the memories

Well after some delay let me show you what I am currently listening to. There is this radio Show called Trance around the world with above and beyond. Every week he brings the best trance, dance and house. This is by far the best radio show (cd quality) I hear in years. The show last around 2 hours and is mostly all mixed. Here is a sample of it. Enjoy.

Kamelot - Sailorman's Hymn

Epica - Cry for the moon

Since I like both bands I will post one vid for each

I like I wish I had an Angel a lot. I dont like the slower stuff as much... I still say Within Temptation is one of the most underrated bands of our time. They get no play at all in the US and they sell out in Europe. Figures... They are coming to the US for only 4 shows, all in north east and I wont get to see them.. sucks..

Old favourite of mine, Aussie guy with a HEAVILY modified and turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa making 600hp+ to the ground, check out the acceleration when his front wheel drops and he can actually use more than 50% throttle. Note that he only hits full throttle at ~170mph. Big numbers on the speedo are MPH, don't believe the youtube idiots who think it's faked, I've seen this bike at the drags, it does mid 7 second passes. This is it on a solo pass And because I'm in a mood for bike videos, I give you Chris Pfeiffer
