So I'll have lasted almost two years at the top of the team. I apparently took the lead on early December 23rd 2013. I should lose it about 8 days short of the two years mark. I won't upgrade my gears before the 14nm-process-made GPUs become available. That's like 6 months away. Handruin...

My last TV was a Sony Trinitron 27" that I bought in 2000. I've stopped using it around 2008 and I gave it two or three years ago. I've not bought another TV since. I watch everything on my computer's display.

I'm still very satisfied with the JVC HA-RX700 I bought two months ago. Much lower-end than what you guys are considering, but I'd have to pay four or five times more in orer to get a model with a noticeably better experience. For ~45$, they are more than ok.

As for the CAL, what a ripoff! It's not enough to pay thousands of dollars for the server (be it the OS, Exchange of SQL), you have to bleed for every user connecting to the server. F*cking corporate crooks, that's what they are.

I don't know about Exchange, but they did the very same thing for MS SQL last year. Then again, not all servers need MS SQL, but they all need an OS, no matter what's their purpose. If only the entire market wasn't so tied up with Microsoft's products. Exchange, Project, Office, Visio, RDP...

I don't care much about what Oracle does. Not that many businesses have Oracle servers. Most businesses have Windows Server. The impact isn't comparable.

Haw! Documentation. My death. I so much hate doing documentation. It's so boring that every minute I spend doing this, I feel a little bit of my life is leaving my body.

Thanks. We all appreciate the time you give to maintain the site.

Here's the story. [/FONT][/COLOR] I'm quite pissed about this and so should you.

The thread icons have changed today. Most threads show up with a pastel red icon. It's disturbing and I don't see any other style (I have forum default or vB4 default style). Please give me back the old style.

Dell describes the screen as glossy, with anti-glare. Now that's special. Otherwise, in my experience, Dell monitors offer above-average picture quality, but below-average lifespan. Your mileage may vary. I've never seen this particular model before.

You do realize that the colors and contrast ratio of all monitors in that price range will look like garbage compared to the 2K$ Eizo Nanao monitors you're used to, right? You also realize that an elder with a bad eyesight won't really notice those issues?

Something like this LG 27" monitor in big sale due to the cyber Monday would probably be ok. It's main drawback is that the blacks are dark grey. Otherwise, it's ok. And only 150$ for another few hours.

What type of video outputs your H520s has? From pictures on a Google search, I guess there's a D-sub and an HDMI port. A cheap LG IPS 23.6" monitor would probably do the job. On a related note, I've recently installed a 27" FullHD monitor to a 60+ family member and that's one of the best gift...

I'm tempted to to get this 24" 4K Viewsonic monitor at 475$CDN at NewEgg, but I think I'll pass. The reviews are quite good for this model and I might grab one later on, just not now. My aging graphic card (GeFarce 440GT) wouldn't drive it anyway.

NM: nevermind

Just don't aim it at airplanes. It might not be a laser, but it could blind a pilot nonetheless if it is that powerful and if the plane is flighing low.

I didn't believe you, but according to this website, you might have received up to 34" of white shit so far this month. Of course, some of it must have melted, but it's plausible that more than 12" remains. I'm surprised. BTW, we haven't received a single centimeter, much less an inch, of...

Damn! Don't know what stuff you take, but it's strong. No transmission or gearing? That's some special car you're considering. Definition of a transmission. A CVT is a transmission (continually variable transmission) and it's probably what your futur car will have.

Use a VM you make yourself and run it from a portable version of VirtualBox. Run everything from a USB stick.

I'm pretty sure that anything MS Office 2003 is EOL at Microsoft. If Microsoft no longer supports it, it means there's no warranty it will play nice with newer OS. Is the rest of the environment equally dated, like the TS being on Server 2003? I know upgrading is expensive, but if you can't...

You could run the GPU client on the 560Ti, but don't bother running the CPU client on the Core 2 Duo. It won't worth the additionnal electricity expense.

That you drove below 30MPH on average.

See, I knew.

Probably no more than 5000 square feet. It's been a while since I've used a mower of any sort. At least 20 years.

Yeah, Lunarmist inside a McLaren (any model). It would probably end-up being the only McLaren ever with an average trip speed under 30Mph.

A photo might be helpful.

You can see the daily output of the individual clients on the same system. The GPU client's production was lower on the low-end AMD system than it was on the Core i7 system. The CPU wasn't participating on the AMD system because I didn't feel it was worth it. Its contribution was too low to...

I tend to prefer stuff that's more manual, but in case of a powered mower, I would only buy one that stops the blade once you let the handle go. That way, if I ever fall for whatever reason, I won't find myself missing a foot. That being said, unless you have a large field, a mecanical mower...

You'll prepare and resell the Thinkpad to people in your area?

I didn't notice before, but I see that StarBlazer has stopped contributing. If it's a permanent decision, I want to thank him very much for the precious contribution he's made to our team. 82 million points is a significant amount. Same goes for Striker.

The i3 won't hold you back. The Pentium, not so sure. During the brief period when I GPU-fold, I had two rigs with GTX 570: one with an Intel i7 950 and one with an AMD X3 450 CPU. The system with the Core i7 produced almost a third more points than the one with the low-end AMD CPU. You...

I suppose it's a fleet vehicle paid by your company, in order to look as anonymous as possible. Is it gray or beige or is that too much details to provide?

We'll use the switch to test transceivers (Fiberstore, AddOn, etc) and 3rd party FO cables. It will also connect industrial equipment like PLC, rugged networking switches and engineering stations to the rest of our network during development stages. 10G is overkill, but the logic is that if...

The S3300 is the least expensive of the bunch. I can get one for less than 700$CDN. The others are all between 1000$CDN and 1500$CDN. The SFP+ optical transceivers are also among the most affordable.

I need an inexpensive switch with at least 2 (but ideally 4) SFP+ 10G ports. It has to be a managed switch. Smart managed or fully managed isn't important. I only need to configure VLAN on it, so anything with L2 management should be fine. No redundant power supplies needed. Same goes for...

We use the Brother MFC-J6920DW at our office. It is enough for the needs of a 30-employe office. People don't complain much about it, except perhaps when the ink is low on some cartridges, the orange/golden logos show stripes of colors instead of an equal blend. Otherwise, it's fine. Even...

It looks like a nice bike. In what material is the frame made? Alu, chromo or other? My current bike is around 10 years old so I've not been following that market much for the past decade.

I suppose I could stop the pink noise track and start to listen to my regular mix then. The link noise track has been playing for more than two hours so far anyway.

What do you guys use to burn-in your heaphones? I've just received a new pair of headphones and I'm using this pink noise track at 80% of max volume. It's 8 hours long. Should it be enough?

Yes, they did.

I like the design. It's probably the next best thing to the Silverstone Raven RV05 to house a multi-GPU rig.

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/42.0/win64/ While it's still not linked on the main download page, this isn't a beta version. I've been using it for the past hour and so far, so good. It's also a good idea to browse the Net throw a 64-bit browser since Windows is more vulnerable...

Knowing your opinion of Chrysler products, that must make interesting and animated Thanksgiving diners.

You know that that laptop is only about one or two years younger than you, right?

No, you don't. They are horrible from the first day to the last. A mouse is mandatory with a Thinkpad. Few people are good with the trackpoint, but even for those who are (like me), fatigue comes a lot quicker using this than a mouse.

That link opens an about:blank page for me. You've catch the Lunarmist disease.

I've not been clear enough. The MS Exchange VM is now fine and it's also running from the correct cluster. However, I had other virtual machines to move in order to extend a shared cluster volume. I never did it before and I wanted to move the VMs stored on that volume before modifying it...

It's happening again : HP's shitty web site isn't working. I'm trying to download the drivers for an HP Z230 workstation I'm reinstalling and for the past half-hour, this is what I get when I try to access the driver download page : "Could not open pageThe service or information you requested...

Yes, all in all, it went well. The MS Exchange part at least, was a complete success. Moving back the Hyper-V VM replicated by Veeam from the backup cluster to the main cluster, not so much. Everything is still operating from the backup Hyper-V cluster this morning. I'm less and less a fan...
