All the Latest Fashions
Published in The New Criterion - May 31, 2015 issue on June 9, 2015
The London Independent's i100 website recently dug up an old advertisement that appeared in Life magazine in February of 1962, and put it up under the shock headline: "This is a real advert." Life's double-page spread was a real advert, but the real advert in the present tense was the Indy's web-page where we read: "It may seem difficult to believe, but this is a genuine advert from an oil company published in the 1960s." This was followed by a photo of the mouth of a mighty glacier beneath which, in large type, are the words: "Each day Humble supplies enough energy to melt 7 million tons of glacier." Beneath that, if your screen is big enough, you can just about make out the original ad copy:
This giant glacier has remained unmelted for centuries. Yet, the petroleum energy Humble supplies — if converted into heat — could melt it at the rate of 80 tons each second! To meet the nation's growing needs for energy, Humble has applied science to nature's resources to become America's Leading Energy Company. Working wonders with oil through research, Humble provides energy in many forms — to help heat our homes, power our transportation and to furnish industry with a great variety of versatile chemicals. Stop at a Humble station for new Enco Extra gasoline and see why the "Happy Motoring" Sign is the World's First Choice!
Nowadays, of course, such an "advert" would never do. It is far too wordy, taking nearly a hundred words before it gets to the pay-off about new Enco Extra gasoline — which, after all, nobody wanted to use to melt glaciers anyway.
Not that The Indy seems to understand that. Silently correcting that long-ago copy-writer's verbosity, it provides a slightly garbled but larger-type version of the first two sentences only and thereby implies that Humble, the irony of whose name needs no comment, once pumped its oil for melting glaciers with, and was proud of it. The larger irony of its post, however, is that The Independent — whose name is at least as comically inappropriate as Humble's — ridicules the commercial propaganda of half a century ago in sublime unconsciousness that its own appeal to the social and intellectual prestige of "science" puts it in the same business. The advertising business. There is nothing "difficult to believe" about the Life advertisement. Fashions change. But to The Independent as to the media culture in general, fashion has taken on a moral dimension.
The paper's editorial comment reads: "Let's just be glad we've come so far" — and beneath that there is a looped tape of Senator James Inhofe throwing a snowball above the single word: "Sigh." Poor Senator Inhofe has been the butt of many such satirical attacks since taking the opportunity of a snowfall in Washington earlier this year to demonstrate his skepticism about what was lately called "global warming" and is now fashionably known as "climate change." Fair enough. Fashions change, as we have already noticed, and The Independent is at least as proud as Life magazine or Humble Oil ever were about being au courant with the latest in intellectual fads. But why all the effort among the fashionable to portray those who don't wish to be part of the latest trends as either very stupid or very wicked?
It is just worth mentioning, perhaps, that with the moralization of fashion comes the implied claim that it is not fashion at all. For morality, unlike fashion, doesn't change. At least it used not to be thought to change. Nowadays, people are much more willing than they formerly were to believe (or at least to accept) that morality can and does change, and that what was universally regarded as wrong or absurd yesterday is today not only right but laudable and virtuous. I'll come back to that curious feature of our times, and that which distinguishes them from almost all other times, in a moment, but first I want to look a little further into the matter of intellectual fashion which, thanks to advances in advertising that would have astonished whoever wrote that ad for Humble Oil half a century ago, is now all we have to take the place of the rational argument whose virtual disappearance from our public life can hardly be coincidental.
In April, the final seven episodes of Matthew Weiner's long-running TV drama Mad Menbegan airing on the AMC network. AMC originally stood for "American Movie Classics" — "classics" being the word once applied to works of art thought to be less susceptible to changes in artistic fashion than the norm. Lately, however, the classics, too, have fallen out of fashion, at least to the extent that the cable channel is now known only by its initials, and its old movies, by no means all of them classics, have taken a decided back seat to highly ambitious original programming likeMad Men and Breaking Bad. Indeed, Mad Men can and should be seen as the great national epic of progressive America, for it shares the progressive view of the social, political and artistic upheavals of the 1960s as a virtual re-foundation of the Republic.
For nearly eight years the show has presented, as it were in time-lapse photography, a picture of moral enlightenment gradually dawning upon what it sees as the inchoate moral darkness of the 1950s and before. Best of all, this process of moral growth and development can be observed taking place in the very nerve-center of the WASP, male establishment of the day, metonymically known as Madison Avenue. In other words, it is a show about changing fashions set in the contemporary world of fashion, broadly considered, which is the advertising industry. The show presumes, as so many of us now do, that the old, bad America — the America, as we are supposed to think it, of racism and sexism, homophobia and hypocrisy, greed and excess — must be continually warned against, presumably lest we find ourselves unexpectedly and scandalously attracted to it.
All these vices appear in a sophisticated urban milieu where today we would not expect to find them, and they bring those indulging in them nothing but unhappiness and moral desolation. Cleverly, however, Mr Weiner and his enormous team of writers do not deny the audience any of its nostalgic satisfaction in this historical retrospective. They do not play down what many are still likely to think the more attractive aspects of life in the 1960s — the drinking, the smoking, the drug-taking, the sexual promiscuity — but emphasize them, along with the still-popular art and music of the period. The principal characters are all attractive people, impeccably dressed in the most attractive fashions of the day, many of which have become fashionable again as a result. It presents them as they would have wished to be presented.
This is a rather troubling feature of the show for certain progressives who would presumably have preferred the political satisfactions of straight propaganda unadorned by Mr Weiner's artfulness. James Meek in the London Review of Books, for example, greets the final phase of the show with an article headed "The Shock of the Pretty" which begins by noticing its representation of an image of the allegedly perfect American nuclear family of circa 1964, buying a Christmas tree as the snow falls gently, in the opening of the second episode of Mad Men's fourth season.
We don't need to have watched the previous forty episodes of the series (out of 85 aired so far, with another seven still to go) to guess that this tableau must be undermined by some horrid sinkhole of reality. Peace, prosperity, health, the nuclear family, fulfilment through consumption and a white, white Christmas: even if you've never read Yates or Cheever or Salter, generations of cinematic art, from Hitchcock to Lynch, have prepared you for the nastiness below the surface of stuff like this. You assume there's a dark underbelly, and there is.
Of course, Mr Meek recognizes that what TV today wants us to remember about the past is that it was false, hypocritical, oppressive and repressed, not to mention racist, sexist etc. — in short, the very opposite of what the TV of the period itself wanted us to believe in. Hence the cliché of the hollowness or falseness lurking behind the appearance of happiness in the perfect Sixties family. Only he doesn't believe that it is a cliché at all. To him, only the ideal family of 1964 is a cliché; the miserable one introduced to us by Yates or Cheever or Salter and carried on by Mad Men is mere "reality."
But what, here, is undermining what? What if, with or against our will, we aren't shocked by the darkness beneath the surface, but childishly delighted by the prettiness of the surface shimmering over the darkness? What if the vintage fashion-shoot perfection of the Christmas scene leaves a more powerful impression on us than our awareness of the suffering of Betty [one of the show's heroines] and her children?
At the risk of sounding presumptuous, I think I detect a certain lack of self-irony here, a failure to grasp the extent to which the writer is not really in the position he thinks he is to look down with such contempt upon the self-deceived happy family of 1964 but every bit as much in thrall as they are to a socially-constructed model of "reality."
Mr Weiner and company wisely do not allow themselves the luxury of that contempt. On the contrary, they do their heroes the honor of seeing the world as they themselves are supposed to have seen it, which makes their (and our) constant disillusionment all the more powerful when it comes, as of course (Mr Meek is right about this) we know it must. They know they can trust their audience to see things their way even if, or especially if, they are also given a pleasant dose of nostalgia for all the more charming elements of the Swinging Sixties. The characters' very physical perfection, looking as soigné and well turned out as the glossy ads they were producing, alerts us to their fakery, which stands for the much greater fakery of the culture of which they are seen as the leading figures.
You simply could not, having watched Mad Men all the way through, ever imagine going back to the world it depicts or anything like it. Being over with forever — always assuming, of course, that it ever existed in the first place — is of that world's very essence, which is what makes it so valuable to the progressive as a stand-in for the America that non-progressives continue, so unfashionably, to venerate. The show's creators know they can depend on the support of the media and the educational establishment in portraying their country's past, up until the 60s revolution, as Mr Meek's "horrid sinkhole of reality" whose destruction by the social forces unleashed in that decade was a necessary and inevitable preliminary to the reconstruction begun then and still underway today.
Perhaps, then, it was not entirely coincidental that the final installments of Mad Menbegan to air just as the country was gripped by the latest skirmishes in what, since the original Mad Men strode the earth, have come to be known as the "culture wars." So much has been written about the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and its recent enactment in Indiana that I cannot hope to add anything much to the discussion here. It is worth noticing, however, that those who argue against religious freedom tend to be so far without other intellectual resource as to be reduced to the pitchman's claim that what they are pleased to call the "bigotry" of Brand X moralism is clean out of fashion and no longer regarded as the dernier cri among the best people.
Frank Bruni of The New York Times, for example, thinks that it behoves Christians to recant any such traditional beliefs, particularly as they relate to homosexuality, because they have become outmoded by "advances of science and knowledge"
So our debate about religious freedom should include a conversation about freeing religions and religious people from prejudices that they needn't cling to and can indeed jettison, much as they've jettisoned other aspects of their faith's history, rightly bowing to the enlightenments of modernity.
There is, once again, no slightest hint of self-irony on the part of the man who takes it upon himself to speak for "the enlightenments of modernity." But then we don't expect that from the Mad Men who have new fashions to sell.
Yet we must remember the fundamental contradiction here. On the one hand, the fashionable folk tell us that the morality of the past is out of fashion and out of date — that, being past, it belongs in the past — while on the other hand they are telling us that the new morality, the fashion of times present, is to be regarded as permanent and unchanging. In other words it's not like fashion at all but like, er, morality. Or like morality once was supposed to be but wasn't. But, surely, both things cannot be true? Either morality, like everything else, is subject to the whims of fashion or it is not. If it is, so is the New Morality, a phrase that I seem to remember was fashionable back in theMad Men era. If not, if the New Morality (but not the old) is echt morality and not subject to change, what makes it thus different from the unfashionable and therefore disposable kind?
If you are as philosophically naive as Frank Bruni your answer is likely to be "science." So, too, the editors of The Independent would doubtless to be quick to claim that "science" is what makes the current fashion for "climate change" and the policy consequences thought to follow from it into the sort of permanent truth that the former fashion for energy and growth and the domestication of nature were not. Neither claim, however, can stand up to scrutiny. "Science" can't tell us what is right and wrong today any more than it could in the 1960s. Even if we grant that the alleged science in both cases is 100 per cent accurate, it does not imply any particular moral attitude either to homosexuality or to climate change. The former might be as natural as it is now said to be —or as the latter is said not to be — and yet still be (like many other natural things) wrong. So, too, global warming might be 100 per cent anthropogenic, and yet it might still not be right to cripple the world economy, which is currently lifting so many out of poverty, by raising energy prices enough to stop or reverse it.
At some level the media's shils for the new progressive utopia may even know this, but a lifetime in thrall to the ad man's obsession not with what is true but with what is hip and fashionable has left them without a moral compass or any understanding of the need for one. Like everything else belonging to the pre-Mad Men era, that kind of unchanging morality has gone out of fashion — which, to their credit, would have come as a shock to the Mad Men themselves.

Kirk Douglas is dead. But not really.
Lauren Williamson
It's okay everyone, veteran actor Kirk Douglas is still alive. Contrary to what appeared on People magazine's website.
Twitter lit up when the popular US entertainment website published an obituary for the 97-year-old Hollywood great, who by his own account is still kicking on.
"The announcement of my death is premature," Douglas told USA TODAY exclusively. "I'm looking forward to turning 98 next week."
The pre-prepared obituary with the headline 'DO NOT PUB Kirk Douglas dies', and opened with the, "Kirk Douglas, one of the few genuine box-office names to emerge just as TV was overtaking American culture in the years right after World War II, died TK TK TK."
People has since removed the article from their website, but you can still read all about it on Twitter.
It's unknown whether the tribute, dated September 29th, had actually been online for two months.
It might seem macabre but most news websites, including us, pre-prepare obituaries for some celebrities and public figures.
Especially if it's a legendary actor like Kirk who's career has spanned six decades, with three Oscar nominations for his performances in Lust for Life, The Bad and the Beautiful and Champion. Although he never won, he was presented with an honorary Academy award in 1996 for "50 years as a creative and moral force in the motion picture community".
But, you know, the general rule is to wait until the person has actually passed to publish it.

A: problems with hard drive or motherboard?
Bare with me, I have been going through a lot of drama with my PC. Recently, I had a motherboard installed by a tech. First time I take computer home, there is no sound. Then, I take it back and the sound driver is installed. After the second time of bringing tower from the shop, I discovered that I am getting error codes and my computer is shutting down. Once Again, I go back to get this problems taken care of only to discover that I have another problem. When I tried to download a program from the net, I get another error code. From what I am able to gather, it looks like my OS was reinstalled. I wonder what could be going with my computer. Is it possible that the motherboard installation wasn't done correctly? Or, could it be that something is going hangwire with my hard drive? I have a P4 1.7 Ghrz.
Sounds to me like the person you're taking it to doesn't know his business.
Q: Problems : Hard Drive, Power Suply or Motherboard?.
A:Problems : Hard Drive, Power Suply or Motherboard?.
It sounds like you might have a RAM problem. If you can, unseat the RAM and try rubbing the gold contacts with something like a clean pencil rubber and wipe it. Then reseat the RAM and see if this boots.
If this does not work, then your RAM could be faulty. Please specify your RAM manufacturer and how many sticks, the size and the DDR clock rate of each one.

I am looking to upgrade my motherboard, but keep my current hard drive and the content on it (due to having alot of programs and software plugins on it). I am running Windows 7 32 bit with and AMD Phenom II x2 CPU. My current motherboard is one I went to when my compaq desktop died a while ago and I wanted to upgrade my operating system and hard drive capacity anyway. So, the first link below is the motherboard I have and the second link is the motherboard I am looking at upgrading to (since the two are somewhat comparable in specs/give or take a few things). Any suggestions or help is welcome. Thanks!
I just bought the new motherboard with new parts but not hard disk.
I am still using the old IDE Maxtor 40GB 7200rpm hard disk.
After all the connection applied, although the pc has detected the hd, but finally failed to boot in to my windows xp.
Is IDE hard disk cannot be used in new motherboard? My motherboard is MSI-7270 K9N-U.
If you put a Hard drive into a new Motherboard with a Operating System on it it will not work unless the motherboard is exactly the same as the one it was formatted on.
You will have to re-install the Operating System while it is on that Motherboard for it to Recognize it.
I have a Motherboard that is supposed to be SATA 150 ready. However, the HD I bought is a SATA 300 one. Will the HD work?
Will it work, most of the time yes. If the drive is not compatible at a 3Gb. transfer speed you should be able to put a jumper on the drive to limit the transfer rate to 1.5Gb. and it should work.
I'm thinking about doing a complete upgrade on my computer.
All I really want to save from my original tower is my 128MB of RAM and the processor. My motherboard was the 'onboard' type, so I'll be needing several new parts. I have a Pentium II 400MHz processor that I want to keep. What type of motherboard should I buy (keeping in mind the $$$)? (make personal recommendations). What type of hard-drive (10GB+ of course)?
Also, if someone could point out a good site for rebuilding a PC with my specs, I'd appreciate it.
Oh yeah, would anyone know of a good place that I could get a full copy of WIN98 SE for cheap?
Q: How many hard drive can motherboard support ?
How many internal hard drive can support ?
does it mean I still can connect (2) hard drives ?
I would know the way to know that please !
A:How many hard drive can motherboard support ?
I'm thinking of buying a new hard drive and want to make sure my motherboard will support it.
I just don't want to have to return it.
I recently had to purchase a new system. I could not re boot my old system because it would start a reboot then go back to a message stating that the system got interupted during start up. Could not open in safe mode, system restore or open in any setting. Not sure if it was a virus, but would now like to reformat the drive to give to my father in law. Does this problem seem to be a hard drive issue or a spent motherboard issue. I just replaced the hard drive last year?
i know formatting and re-installing xp would be a soulution, but a hassle.
we are looking for a way to avoid formatting.
My Aopen AX-33 motherboard will not detect my new Western Digital WD800JB hard drive unless it is the only hard drive in the computer. I've tried every possible ide configuration that leaves the old hard drive, that has windows on it, at primary master, and none of them work. The only way the computer will recognize the new hard drive is if the old one's removed. Help.
I just installed a new hard drive on my computer, I am replacing an old 7 mb HD, with a WD 60 5400. I installed the hard drive and installed Windows XP, it was working fine, then I unplugged everything to put my computer back together and it would not read the disk. I thought maybe it was a bad disk so I hooked up my old HD and it too could not be read. Is my motherboard bad? I am using a Soyo K7VTA-PRO? Any help would be appreciated. Also, I noticed when my computer was looking for the IDE controllers, there was a line that said no 80-conductor cable, could this be the problem? I know this cable makes them run better but should it keep it from reading it?
You need to use an 80 pin IDE cable. One should have come with the new hard driver. Your old drive most likely uses a 40 pin cable.
Q: Will my motherboard support a 1,5 TB hard drive?
My motherboard is a DFI LanParty UT SLI-DR (details about the SATA-plugs can be seen here), and I'm currently looking for a new hard drive. The one I want to buy is the Seagate Barracuda 7200.11, with a capacity of 1,5 TB.
What I'd like to know is whether my motherboard can support a drive of this size?
Hi, I have a 1TB Hard drive in my HP ENVY 15t-j100 Quad Edition CTO Notebook PC and I would like to upgrade to a M.2 SSD. I looked at the service manual here: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03943414 Can this really only support 24GB mSATA SSD? Do I have any better options? I checked and I have a hp 1963 (ue31) motherboard. I couldn't find documentation on the motherboard to see if it was compatiable. Can someone help me?Thanks.
An M.2 SSD is not compatible with your notebook. There is no M.2 slot on the systemboard to plug it into.
was wondering if it was at all possible to take the e-machines hard drive that has windows XP installed on it and run it on a new motherboard... and it be able to read the drives???
you will be able to read the drives but you wont be able to run windows. You will need to reinstall windows on the hard drive after you install it in the new computer. then you will have to activate it also. It is also illegal to move the type of OEM version of WinXP liscensed to be installed on and Emachines computer on any other computer. It is called Piracy.
Q: Could My Motherboard Be Messing With My Hard Drive??
I've come across this problem about 3 times in 1 year....it seems that one particular motherboard that I have just chews up my HDDs!! is this possible....I would alwys get the Unmountable Boot Volume BSOD after a few monbths of use with this Motherboard....It's an MSI P4M800 Series board...Has anyone ever heard of a prblem like this one??
A:Could My Motherboard Be Messing With My Hard Drive??
I guess it could be possible. Never heard of a similar situation though.
Does the MB have the latest BIOS and drivers?
Could possibly be an overheating issue with the specific computer case not having enough ventilation.
Unfortunately, OEM licenses of Windows 7 can only be installed on one motherboard. Unless the reason for the new motherboard is a defect of some sort, the OS will be unable to be licensed on the new motherboard. For more information, read the following excerpt from the Microsoft Licensing FAQ.
Q. Can a PC with an OEM Windows operating system have its motherboard upgraded and keep the same license? What if it was replaced because it was defective?
A. Generally, an end user can upgrade or replace all of the hardware components on a computer—except the motherboard—and still retain the license for the original Microsoft OEM operating system software. If the motherboard is upgraded or replaced for reasons other than a defect, then a new computer has been created. Microsoft OEM operating system software cannot be transferred to the new computer, and the license of new operating system software is required. If the motherboard is replaced because it is defective, you do not need to acquire a new operating system license for the PC as long as the replacement motherboard is the same make/model or the same manufacturer's replacement/equivalent, as defined by the manufacturer's warranty.
The reason for this licensing rule primarily relates to the End User Software License Terms and the support of the software covered by that End User Software License Terms. The End User Software License Terms is a set of usage rights granted to the end user by the PC manufacturer and relates only to rights for that software as installed on that particular PC. The system builder is required to support the software on the original PC. Understanding that end users, over time, upgrade their PCs with different components, Microsoft needed to have one base component "left standing" that would still define the original PC. Since the motherboard contains the CPU and is the "heart and soul" of the PC, when the motherboard is replaced (for reasons other than defect) a new PC is essentially created. The original system builder did not manufacture this new PC, and therefore cannot be expected to support it.
Q: Moving a hard drive with OA key to new motherboard, new retail key?
A:Moving a hard drive with OA key to new motherboard, new retail key?
Hi JayArr, welcome to the Forum.
You should be able to change activation key. This tutorial show you how.
I upgraded a computer for someone by installing a new motherboard, RAM, video card, and CPU.
The hard drive is the same from the old rig.
When I boot, I can get to BIOS fine, but when I go to boot Windows (XP), I get a STOP error blue screen saying it might be problems with my hard drive or drivers.
I've talked to my father who is very knowledgable and has described a similar problem in the past. Despite his ability, he says he has to take it to a technician to fix it.
Anyone have any help or suggestions?
Did you format the old drive and re-install Windows fresh?
A:Can a motherboard problem cause a new hard drive to fail?
Q: New Motherboard - how to preserve hard drive contents?
My current motherboard (EPoX EP-5EPA+) has pretty much konked out it seems after much testing and I'm now looking at the EPoX 5LDA+ (http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=246607). Since I have no way of booting my computer at the moment, is there a way to preserve what is on my hard drive since I have read that you must re-install the operating system once a new motherboard is installed?
A:New Motherboard - how to preserve hard drive contents?
It may be possible to repair your operating system once you have the new mobo. Is it XP?
I have a question regarding the color for the IDE port that the hard drive goes on, I'm not sure what kind of motherboard it is it says intel on it and its a Gateway 300se. Would it be white or black?
It's probably the white one!!! Try it and check the bios to see if the hdd appears on the primary or secondary bus!!! If it appears on primary, then all is well!!!!
Q: Hard drive or Motherboard failing, thinking HDD.
A:Hard drive or Motherboard failing, thinking HDD.
Hello, I just purchased a ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe Motherboard and I can't get my 160 gig hard drive to recognize it?
I have an older Dell (4700 I think). The computer won't turn on at all anymore. The amber light comes on and the fans run fast and furious. I get no video, not beeps, nothing. I took it apart, cleaned it, reseated everything and put it back together. Same thing. I took the hard drive out and tested it on my husband's computer. It didn't boot. So I took his hard drive out and tried it in my computer. His wouldn't boot from my system. Is there any reason both my computer and my hard drive would both crap out at the same time? Is there hope for my computer?
It sounds like you now have a retail copy of Win7 which can migrate to any other hardware you want whenever you please. It's only locked to a mobo when you have preinstalled Factory OEM or Builder's OEM copy.
Was this counterfeit an OEM copy which MS replaced also with an OEM copy?
If not then there are no worries, just stick with these same basic steps which cover everything to get a perfect Clean Reinstall.
Q: Moving hard drive to new motherboard, any advice?
I have a hard drive with Windows 7 and lots of data on it (it's my current computer). I'm upgrading to a different motherboard and would like to know what I should do software/driver wise to prepare for the HDD transfer... Should I uninstall all the drivers so Windows 7 can detect all the new hardware from the new motherboard?
And yes, the hard drive is 100% compatible with the new motherboard.
A:Moving hard drive to new motherboard, any advice?
I'm hoping someone can help with a question about an old computer. We have an HP a744x with an Asus A7N8X-LA motherboard. I took the hard drive out to put it in an enclosure and look at it on my computer and then went to put it back and could not remember how it went in. It's a SATA drive. Can someone direct me to a picture or give me a precise description of how it screws back in. I have the four screws I took out of it. It was not in a drive bay. If you have a photograph or know of a link that will show me the inside of that computer (or possibly any 700 series picture will help) I would very much appreciate it.
Hint: if the "data" cable is still attached to the motherboard, it has a "memory" of how its been, for several years, bent and kinked to reach where the disk-drive previously was mounted. So, its "habitual" position gives you a clue as to where the disk-drive used to be. Of course, you have the freedom to mount the disk-drive anywhere that there is a 3.5-inch wide "drive-bay", as long as the "power" and "data" cables are long-enough to reach that location. > I have the 4 screws. The disk-drive has 2 screw-holes on one side, and 2 matching screw-holes on the other side.Also, if you look at the "bottom" (the visible circuit-board), you should see 4 more screw-holes -- one near each corner. So, if the drive does not fit into a "drive-bay", look for a plate with 4 matching holes.Put a screw through the plate, and into one of the "bottom" holes on the disk-drive.
Q: motherboard is bad can I download data from the hard drive?
my old e-machines T2742 has a fried motherboard, (according to the folks at Best Buy). I had a bunch of stuff on the hard drive that I of course failed to back up anywhere. Is there a way I (not a tech type guy), can access and download the data on the hard drive? And while I'm at it I have the computer opened now and am wondering just where the motherboard and hard drive are located. I did manage to upgrade the ram by myself. Thanks for any help.
A:motherboard is bad can I download data from the hard drive?
Did you get the license number of that Emachine.....?
I'm not familiar with the number you gave, but, if it has a PATA (IDE) HDD, you must change the jumper on the drive to the slave position and then install it in another computer in the "slave" position on the ribbon cable. (The connector in the middle). You can usually get the HDD jumper diagram by downloading the manual to your drive at the manufacturer's web site.

S.M.A.R.T. is enabled in the HD firmware. Failures at that level are purely hardware related. Such failures create bad sectors.
Q.E.D.:- the drive is just cr*p.
(eg sharing r/w a folded and two or more users opening the same file at the same time).
Bad disk drivers would easily be a contributor too.
Q: Hard Drive Support For ECS P4IBAS Motherboard?
Hello, i have an ECS P4IBAS Motherboard and was wondering if it can support a 160GB hard drive. The bios is Award Modular BIOS 6.00PG v1.1 and the motherboard has the Intel 845 Chipset. I currently have an 80gb hard drive which is about to fail (it has a very high reallocated sector count) and i really want to get a bigger hard drive as 80gb isnt enough for me anymore. The year of my bios is 2001. So will this motherboard support a 160GB hard drive without having to flash my bios?
A:Hard Drive Support For ECS P4IBAS Motherboard?
Yes, depending on the OS. The Award BIOS will handle it. But, unless you use XP Service Pack 2 or 3, your maximum size per partition is 132 gb before formatting or 128, or so, after formatting.
Best thing to do is format it with whatever OS you have, then extend the partition with a partition manager such as PartIt, Norton Ghost, Acronis, or the like.

Q: Solved: Would an SATA 1.5 Gb/s hard drive work in a 3.0 Gb/s motherboard?
Or, more specifically, will my old hard drive work with my replacement motherboard?
Also, if anyone wants to look at a couple other replacement parts I'm thinking of getting and let me know what they think, I'd appreciate it.
A:Solved: Would an SATA 1.5 Gb/s hard drive work in a 3.0 Gb/s motherboard?
Yes the old hard drive will work at 1.5 Gb/s transfer rate, and the old PCIe graphics card will work at PCIe 1.0 speed.
Regarding the 8GB RAM, I assume you plan on running a 64-bit OS? If running a 32-bit OS, it won't recognize more than 4GB.
After 2 unsuccessful tries of getting the correct motherboard, I finally got the right one. My Toshiba C655D is in pieces on my desk and I'm ready to finally get the new motherboard installed. The question: Will I lose my data on the hard drive after the install of the new motherboard? I've read suggestions of getting a scsi usb device to backup and also taking the HD and putting it into another laptop to backup the data. The issue that may be a problem with that method is differences in OS. The Toshiba is Win7, the other laptop I would use is Win8. Any fast and accurate solutions to this problem would be appreciated.

i'm trying to build my pc, but i'm having problem with the asus p4s8x motherboard. it does not detect the 80 gigabyte western digital hard drive with 8 mb cache. i've messed with the jumpers and bios but still nothing.
Hi and welcome...when you say it doesn't recognize it, where isn't it being recognized? In the bios setup?
For now, in the bios setup, try to use USER settings, and put the cylinders 1023, heads 16, and sectors 63. Make sure LBA is selected as well.
Good afternoon. First and foremost, I'm a beginner at most. I know enough to be very very dangerous. My wifes laptop has a motherboard issue. We pulled the hard drive to download the files off of it. I can download most of them, but some I cannot. I'm attempting to download onto my work computer and I fear there are admin procedures that will not allow me to download all the files. And of course they are the files of the laptop that have the pictures and the videos and personal documents that I can't get too.
I know this probably isn't enough to get an answer, but work IT guy is out for two weeks. Only thing I can think of is to try to download it to a collegues personal computer.


The DPS16 is a dual-channel power supply with very low output noise and no ripple. The output current can be up to 200mA and has a programmable current limit. The 4 wire capability provides an excellent load regulation.
Because the DPS16 is a fully linear design the output noise is exceptionally low while there are no ripple components as usually seen with switched mode designs.
The unit has voltage and current read back on both channels with 16-bit resolution.
A targeted feature of the DPS-16 is the ability to modulate the output allowing to perform PSRR measurements.
The unit is very suitable for precision analog and Mixed Signal measurements.
Modulation slew rate 1V/ms max.

Q: Subdomain SSL to Domain with Shopping Cart I have domain.com and secure.domain.com. Both are on different dedicated IPs, and I have an SSL for secure.domain.com
What I am trying to do is setup a shopping cart in such a way that login, checkout, etc all go through secure.domain.com, while just regular browsing takes place on domain.com
Is there a way I can link the files under domain.com to also be under secure.domain.com and if so:
1) would this be seen as duplicate content by SEs
2) is there some other disadvantage of doing this?
What I'm trying to work out is this: the cart is on domain.com. Nothing is on secure.domain.com, and sessions and cookies won't travel from one to the other.
And, unless I can link the two somehow, I would literally need an installation of the cart at both domain.com and secure.domain.com, and I'm pretty sure this is not how it's normally done for sites that use secure.domain.com
I'm guessing possibly a symlink or an htaccess config or both might be needed? But I know very little about this stuff so this is all new to me.
Any help would be much appreciated.

A: Set your cookie domain to .domain.com and the session will go through all subdomains.

A: As pointed out by Clicktrend and Echilon, set the cookie domain, and ensure that it is cookies from secure.domain.com are marked as 'secure' (meaning they will only be sent by the client over https)
Also, be sure to disable the TRACE method, as this could be used to steal session cookies. For further information about this, I find this to be useful http://deadliestwebattacks.com/category/cross-site-tracing/. Easiest way to disable the TRACE method:

echo 'TraceEnable off' > /etc/httpd/conf.d/trace-method.conf

I would also recommend that you disable http (leaving only https) on secure.domain.com (it is generally sufficient to comment out the Listen 80 directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
These configurations are correct for Apache httpd on RHEL 5 and RHEL 6 at least; other systems may need tweaking.

When your concrete driveway ages from the excessive heat here in the Coral Springs area, cracks are all too common. Once your concrete driveway begins to crack, those repair bills can be costly. One of the biggest benefits to brick pavers is they are simple to repair. Since each brick is laid individually, when one needs repair it is simply removed and replaced. If ever a brick is cracked, chipped or broken, the repair involves popping up the old paver and installing a new one. The area looks new again. Concrete driveways can be patched to try and stop the crack, but often times the cracks continue and your driveway will not look good until it's redone in its entirety.
Maintaining the brick pavers is much easier too. A simple powerwashing occasionally and that area will look as good as it did the day it was installed. When oil spills stain a concrete driveway, they are near impossible to remove. When a paver is damaged, because it is placed one at a time, the damaged one can be replaced immediately. Good brick pavers in Coral Springs, Florida will always have plenty of pavers on hand because it is a popular building material in the South Florida area. Properly maintained brick paver driveways can last up to twenty-five years. That is significantly longer than the traditional concrete driveway.
Contact JDP Construction today at (954) 256-0640 so we can create your unique brick paver driveway or patio for you. Call our expert team today and we will gladly come to your home and give you a free consultation. We will provide you with an affordable and honest quote for any and all of your construction needs.


This past weekend, DH and I got a little testy at each other. Usually, we know we're a team and work together and help each other but this past Sunday, exhaustion got the best of us. We apologized an hour later and we knew we didn't mean to be punchy.
A fellow mom in the neighborhood actually described the relationship husbands and wives have after child best. She said that it's not that she means to make their home into a business like atmosphere but essentially, she does what she knows and she manages her home like her job.
Later on, I read an article in Kiwi Magazine where the author, a stay at home dad, said that a mother is the CEO while the father is the Director of Development or something similiar.
I suppose the similie is apropo for me. I try not to make it sound like I'm bossing or forcing DH to do something he doesn't like to. Sometimes, I just need things done and when your juggling plates, it's just easier to be succinct.
To my mom my succinctness comes off as cold and sometimes abrasive. To my husband, I suppose it sounds bossy sometimes. Funny thing is, I often lapse into my mom's tendencies to explain/justify everything. I don't know what DH thinks is worse, that or my precision speak.
I suppose being parents and a spouse to each other alters your dynamic and you need to be mindful that one dynamic doesn't spill over often. I can be succinct with family items but when it comes to being a spouse, I need to be more patient and slow down.
You'd think that I'd need to be more patient and slow down as a parent and in a way I do. I just need to be more mindful to be patient with my spouse. That's the trick. As a parent, you realize you need to slow things down for you learning toddler. As a spouse, I need to slow things down because I shouldn't rush our relationship either. Whether it be doing dishes together or sitting and watching a program or just talking about our day, I need to remember my to do list will always be there and this time next year, I'm not going to care if we cleaned our closet or took that trip to the farm in the rain.
I think that was God's message in the readings on Sunday. As our priest said, "It may sound harsh to cut off your hand or pluck out your eye but essentially God is telling us to forget the stuff that doesn't matter and focus on what does."
What matters is my family and my husband and God.
