Johnson Raid Fly & Wasp Killer

Advantages: Pleasant smell
Disadvantages: Does not kill flies in seconds; often not at all.

I am very disappointed with Johnson Raid Fly & Wasp Killer. It is quite useless at getting rid of house flies in my area. Far from killing flying insects in seconds, you have to spray very long bursts at individual flies to have any effect on them. Then they often just get up again! The scent is nice. Have the makers put air freshener in the aerosols by mistake? In the area where I live, it has been reported and acknowledged by the council that there have been an unusually high number of flies this summer. My environment is clean and waste disposal and recycling services are efficient. This particular brand of fly spray seems to be the only one available in local stores and supermarkets that I frequent. Is it the case that for health and safety reasons the power and effectiveness of products like this has been drastically curtailed ...

Review of Johnson Wax Raid Fly and Wasp Killer

Cheap RAID card is perfect! (but slow)

Advantages: online capacity expansion, deals with hard disc problems better
Disadvantages: slow compared to software RAID

recommend upgrading to current firmware and 2.16 storcon utl (both are on www.intel.com. There is a linux version of the 2.16 storcon, but it was hard to find!) With initial installation on a Gigabyte GA7 motherboard and Adaptec 2940AU SCSI controller, the problems with onboard intel BIOS / adaptec 2940AU and mobo BIOS reared it's ugly head. I could not for the life of me with all the PCI juggling, IRQ remapping and BIOS remapping options get it to boot with a Adaptec SCSI card and Intel RAID card. I asked a friend about his setup, and he had no problems (he was running a Intel serverboard with his SRCS14L) My problem was solved by removing SCSI from system completely and migrating to IDE bootup drives (which was such a pain on linux!) Current drivers are 2.05 which are included since the 2.4.19 kernel. As with all RAID controllers ...

Review of Intel RAID Controller SRCS14L

Adaptec AVC-1100

Advantages: Portable Device,Good for small time duration capturing
Disadvantages: To convert 30 minutes of captured video it takes around two hours

It Captures the Video in real time mode but drops number of frames.So you donot get the smooth motion of a scene. Same result is observed in the video cd. The manufacturer has set the time limit for capturing to only 600 seconds. After that audio & video goes out of sync The software(sonic My DVD is supplied with the unit is also not user friendly.It is very slow. One major drawback is in preview mode, the source sound gets muted.It becomes difficult to recognise the scene.In video editing mode,after trimming unwanted footege,the audio video synchronisation goes totally out.The resulting vcd projet has very poor quality with lot of pauses and choppy movements.Very Furstrating.other capture devices has got far better quality than this Adaptec AVC-1100. ...
