Folks,

As you know, Sun has been acquired by Oracle, and so I've been hoovered up into the mothership. We've been asked to cast a wide net for people interested in joining Oracle to enhance sales of Sun's hardware, storage and software. If you are an experienced salesperson or technical sales support specialist (SE), Sun hardware field engineer, Professional Services consultant or have similar skills with Sun hardware and software sales or implementation/support, please drop me a pm. Positions are open for commercial, state/local and Federal customers in the US and Canada.

My file server is powered by a Corsair 520HX and the PSU is a few months short of a year old. I'm running five or six HDDs currently, and I've got a 1.5TB waiting to be installed.

One hard drive is found when Windows starts up, but as soon as I try accessing it it disappears completely. It's the only piece of hardware drawing power off of that cable. Western Digital's SMART utility shows no problems. I haven't added or removed hardware in months, this just started happening after I installed Windows 7.

It's the oddest thing guys and I'm wondering if anyone has any insights.

A few months back, I picked up an 9800GTX+ on the cheap because I knew a guy who did bulk orders but had a few of these left over that he couldn't move (mainly because everyone seems to have jumped to ATI and the GTS/GTX series.

Gotta ask cause the wife is sick of me keeping her up at night with noise. Will any usb headset with boom mic work on a xbox 360 or does it need to be a official headset? If they do work any suggestions in the $100 price range? Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks.

Problem: PC will freeze. This usually happens like this, screen freezes, but mouse works, seconds later the mouse stops working, PC doesn't respond to anything. This whole time I can hear the hard drive doing something, but no grinding noises or anything like clicks. I think my PC always makes this noise with the hard drive.

I have had this PC for about a week now with Windows 7 and I can't see any cause of the problem.

So we've got three computers (laptop, netbook, desktop) we use regularly for our home-based writing and editing company, but none of them have Office 2007 (well one does, but it's running low on trial uses). Ideally, we would install Office 2007 on all of them, but I don't want to spend more money per license than is necessary. Anyone know any tricks to minimizing costs on this?

Ok, I know "Like x, but with added y!" never comes off as a ringing endorsement, but I'm seriously impressed with Construct. It's a 2d game creation setup much like Game Maker, but instead of some sorta C script, you get a rather impressive visual event builder, and actual python (Either as something fired by an event, or something evaluated every frame, same as one of the event builder events.). Plus, it's open source, which is always nice. It's a little rough around the edges, the project isn't that old, but it is very cool.

I lost my headphones somewhere but I would like to start using my iPhone for listening to podcasts again. I will need to buy something but I am not an audiophile by any stretch so I don't need anything great but of course I can't use any old headphones because of Apple's wonderful design! So does anyone have any recommendations for cheap iPhone headphones?
