What kills drives is turning them on and off repeatedly. I have
machines where the drive is running 24x7, and they last many years. I
have an ancient Conner 1GB 1060S drive running in my SCO Unix 3.2v4.2
server since about 1985 without difficulties.
>( model # is ST340810A ).
I have a pile of those. They tend to have a short lifetime. I have
to dive into the paperwork to check the typical failure mode.

OK. The BIOS recognizes the drive, but Windoze does not. There's
a chance that the drive can be revived if you wipe it clean.
Try one of the numerous disk wipe type of programs.
<http://www.dban.org/about> (what I use)
<http://www.diskwipe.org>
Stuff in the Windoze XP CD and boot it. It should ask to partition
and format the disk. After it's done, it will install XP. Much
easier with a clean HD.

Make up your mind please. When you go into the CMOS setup, does the
drive show up and is it correctly identified as an ST340810A drive? If
so, the BIOS sees it. If not, it's dead.

It could be that the drive has a weak head or bad media.
There is a reserved System Area (SA) on the platters which stores the
runtime (ATA) firmware, defect lists, SMART data, etc. When the drive
starts up, it executes a POST and some minor bootstrap code on the
PCB, and then proceeds to retrieve the firmware from the SA. If the SA
is unreadable, then the drive won't come ready.
You could try a DOS based diagnostic such as MHDD. This can access the
drive directly, without going though BIOS:
http://hddguru.com/software/2005.10.02-MHDD
Be sure to use the ENABLEPRIMARY switch if the drive is the master on
the primary IDE channel:
http://66.14.166.45/whitepapers/compforensics/danalysis/MHDD%20Documentation.pdf
http://66.14.166.45/whitepapers/compforensics/danalysis/MHDD%20Manual.pdf
Otherwise you could access the drive via its serial terminal interface
using a program such as SeDiv. Let me know if you need more details.

Let's look at the case of the ignorant host.
There are three possibilities at the start of the game. The
probability of each is 1/3
_1 2 3_
aCGG
bGCG
cGGC
Let us say door 1 represents the contestant's pick. The host can pick
either door 2 or door 3
Case a: Host picks Door 2. Result: Goat. Contestant switches to Door
3, loses.
..............Host picks Door 3 Result Goat. Contestant switches to
Door 2, loses.
Case b: Host picks Door 2. Result Car. Contestant loses
..............Host picks Door 3. Result Goat. Contestant switches to
Door 2, wins
Case c: Host picks Door 2. Result Goat. Contestant switches to Door 3,
wins
..............Host picks Door 3 Result Car. Contestant loses.
Of the six possible scenarios, the contestant loses four times. If the
contestant does not switch after the ignorant host opens a door, the
contestant loses four times. If we discard the times the host opens a
door with a car behind it, the contestant wins two out of four times
when he switches, and two out of four times when he doesn't switch.
Therefore, switching picks has no effect on the odds when the host
randomly opens one of the other doors.

When verifying the calibration of a thermostat,
the interval between the hash marks on the dial is the tolerance;
e.g. if the last mark passed is 350 and the next mark is 375,
the expected reading is considered to be 350 +/-25.

As a replacement deep-cycle battery for APC UPS's, I'd like to hear

No experience, but I can offer a clue. The quality of the battery is
often proportional to the amount of lead inside. Look at the net
weight of the battery for a rough idea. The above kit of two 12V 18A
batteries is 12 lbs each. For example, the "plus" version of the same
batteries, from the same vendor:
<http://www.batteryspec.com/cgi-bin/cart.cgi?action=link&product=681>
is 13 lbs per battery.
Same from other vendors:
<http://www.batterywholesale.com/battery-store/proddetail.html?prodID=2530>
13 lbs
<http://www.atbatt.com/product/3595/sla/amstron/12v-18ah/battery>
12.6 lbs
<http://www.batteriesplus.com/ps-32622-1-werker-12v-18ah-agm-battery-with-nut-bolt-terminal.aspx>
12.8 lbs

Stick with panasonic or yuasa if you care about quality. Some of those are
from china now, but are less bogus than the rest of the stuff out there.

Check your physics book, too, recalling (as Phil said), that a speaker
is a mechanical system operating *above resonance*.
You can simulate this by hanging a fairly heavy weight from a rubber
band. Hold the other end of the band (with the weight hanging down,
stretching the rubber but *not too much*). Move your hand up and down.
Below resonance, the weight follows your hand, with constant
displacement, no matter the frequency. Above resonance, your hand goes
down while the weight is coming up, and the faster you move your hand,
the smaller the weight's excursion gets. That's the domain a speaker
works in.
It is this reduction in excursion as frequency increases that makes a
speaker *automatically* have a constant volume velocity (constant output
level) regardless of frequency. The cone excursion drops by a factor of
four for every octave increase in frequency.
But insofar as speaker phasing is concerned, as long as they are both
the same, it doesn't matter much, because in general, you have no idea
what happened to the signals before they got stuck on that CD (or
whatever).

** Some hi-fi whackos like to pretend it is possible to get "absolute
phase" from their systems - but few even know the above fact.
BTW:
The situation is different for most headphones and electrostatic speakers -
where diaphragm movement is resistance dominated rather than mass dominated.
Plus different again for a condenser microphone where diaphragm excursion
does not vary with frequency and the output voltage wave is a direct replica
of its displacement from zero.

BTW, get a real news client instead of that crappy Microsoft Windows
Mail 6.0.6002.18197, so you can see things other than the most basic
ASCII characters. That piece of crap is only good for old ladies to
exchange pickle recipies.

Percent power may not be related to actual duty cycle. 50% is not 50%
on and 50% off. The ON time may be longer based on service info for a
Sharp Microwave, It takes time for the filament to warm up and there
may be reduced or no output. This is taken into account.

Which still results in a 50% on to off output from the Magnetron.
Just how long do you think it takes for the filament to reach full
operating temperature? We aren't talking about 12 volt tubes with 150
mA filaments that take ten seconds to warm up.
