    You may get lucky and find one. If the data is that important (and it sounds like ti is) then it may be worth your time and effort.

    well actually i don't have that kind of screw driver... those screws are so so tiny....

    I'm a fan of hp products because I've never had a problem with anything in the 10ish years I've been buying their laptops, towers (not me, my dad bought one without telling me - should have built one for him), printers, everything.

    As for hdds (tower ide's), seagate. Love the 5-year warranty and they usally have a damn good rebate going once or twice a month on newegg. For laptops? no idea, yet to buy one.

    Any news on your laptop? From what I read of the topic, I'd try what VaKo suggested and replace the logic board. Check ebay for a matchin hdd at a good price.

    Good luck, I've got a ton (.5 gigs) of school documents so I'm always double-backing up once a month, losing it would be disasterous.

    i was wondering... if i was to replace the logic board... do i need to get an identical hard disk... or for laptop's hard disk the firmware is the same everywhere?

    thx

    The War in Lebanon

    in Everything Else

    Posted

    Good article which explains the current situation quite concisely:
    How do you stop rockets fired from a hijacked state?

    That's a complex question, but Israel must answer, or risk suffering the most drastic of consequences -- its own demise.

    Appreciating the thorny, multi-dimensional difficulties Israel confronts -- from bitter house-to-house battles to the highest levels of international diplomacy -- begins with a basic understanding of the Katyusha rocket Hezbollah fires at Haifa and other Israeli cities.

    I should say Katyusha-type, for the rocket Hezbollah employs out-ranges Russia's World War II Katyushas and the improved models Moscow later aimed at NATO ground units in Western Europe.

    Even the updated versions are "dumb" -- unguided "barrage" or "area weapons." The dumb-but-deadly rockets are not fired at specific targets, unless "Haifa" and "Tel Aviv" are considered specific targets.

    When fired from positions in southern Lebanon or Gaza, extended-range Katyushas threaten anywhere from 60 to 70 percent of Israel's population. Every Israeli citizen may soon be a bull's-eye -- Hezbollah leaders boast of striking "beyond, beyond Haifa." Indeed, there are indications that longer-range rockets are being employed. NATO handbooks once referred to these rockets as "FROG-type" -- Free Rocket Over Ground. Some can carry chemical warheads.

    As range increases, these unguided rockets "scatter" over a wider and wider surface area. In the case of northern Israel, Hezbollah is clearly targeting predominantly civilian zones. If a rocket hits a hospital in the civilian area, it hits a hospital. Hezbollah's attacks on Haifa -- especially compared to Israeli attacks in Gaza and Lebanon, which typically utilize modern precision weapons -- are quite indiscriminate.

    But then Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrullah, and the mad mullahs of Iran who arm, finance and guide him, believe the whole of Israel is a target, one Iran indicates it will hit some day with another area weapon: a city-busting nuclear warhead.

    In the past week, 1,400 rockets have hit Israeli cities, most from firing positions inside Lebanon.

    But now for the layer of complexity: Hezbollah hides these weapons among apartment houses and in villages, nesting rockets in Lebanese neighborhoods.

    Hezbollah controls these neighborhoods -- not the Lebanese government.

    In other words, Israel suffers rocket attacks from a Lebanon that "is not quite Lebanon" in a truly sovereign sense. The rockets, of course, come from "somewhere," but Hezbollah's "somewhere" is a political limbo in terms of maps with definitive geo-political boundaries. Lebanon is a peculiar form of failed state. It's not the madhouse of Somalia or the impoverished dreg of Zimbabwe, rather, Lebanon is a hijacked state.

    Lebanon's status as a hijacked state will continue so long as the Lebanese government cannot control Hezbollah -- and control means disarm and demobilize.

    So Hezbollah attacks Israel with ever-more-powerful, longer-range rockets, then hides behind the diplomatic facade of the greater Lebanese nation state.

    Iran and Syria -- the powers behind Hezbollah -- then appeal to the United Nations (a product of the Westphalian "nation-state" system) to condemn Israel for attacking Lebanon -- when Israel is attacking Hezbollah, which "is and is not Lebanon."

    Thus terrorists and terror-empowering nations, like Iran and Syria, abuse the nation-state system -- or exploit a "dangerous hole" in the system.

    Everybody's got to be somewhere, but maps and UN seats and press bureaus don't make an effective nation state; they are the trappings of state-dom. Weaknesses in the Westphalian system exist, in part because it has never been a complete system. (The Westphalian system evolved from the Treaty of Westphalia (1648) and the series of peace settlements that ended the Thirty Years' War in Europe.) Westphalia's "nation-state" system has always faced "gaps" (anarchic regions) and "failed states" (which are often collapsing tribal empires with the trappings of modernity, not the institutions).

    Israel says disarming Hezbollah is one of its objectives. But to truly achieve that goal -- to stop the rockets, in any permanent way -- means ending Iran's and Syria's ability to hijack Lebanese neighborhoods.

    And that means holding Iran and Syria responsible for hijacking Lebanon and supporting Hezbollah's rain of rocket terror. Holding Iran and Syria responsible may well mean taking the war to Tehran and Damascus.

    Hmm... according to the forum (little thing down the page :lol: )

    We have 1474 registered users

    so... if each of us would give one dollar per month....

    means.... (hold on.. lemme do the math)...

    so we have 1 and I take that one and I multiply by 1474.. *bip..bip..bip*...

    yup that's 1474 dollars...

    ok... Darren, I am not sure about how much money you guys invest in that show.. but i am pretty that this would help... right? maybe you could tell us how much it cost in money and time.

    so please leave an intelligent comment... reaction... ideas..

    this is just an idea and if you think it's stupid... it's still an idea... bring better... maybe half a dollar/month... ehehe :lol:

    thx

    Spinrite isn't going to help if the laptop can't find the drive.

    Firstly try taking the hard drive out and then putting it back in, it might have come loose for some reason and that might cause your problem.

    Other than that I can't really suggest much than other to try playing with it in different configurations, putting in a different laptop/computer if you can and things like this.

    Other than that just hope that you had a good recent backup.

    i've tried that.. but still the same...

    i plugged the harddisk using an IDE laptop-pc cable but the pc does not detect it - so the harddisk is dead?

    DNS tweak, good or bad?

    If their public you shouldn't have a problem.

    The only time that I can think of that you would have a problem if you wrote some software that used those servers and then sold that software to a large number of people.

    Now that you've started looking into DNS, you can start thinking about running your own DNS server, I found I got the best speed increase from doing that.

    isn't your dns server will relay upon the dns server of your provider :?:

    :?
