Update: Traded the Viore in. It was 1808 X something, to fill the screen. 1920 was well off the edges. Ended up with a Westinghouse LD-4070Z 40 " "120 HZ". Picture is considerably better with stock setting,so much I haven't used adobe to check the quality. It displays at 1920 x 1080P, @...

SoCal is raging. Malibu is NEVER this big and the wedge is 12-15 with 20 foot sets. http://www.surfline.com/surf-report/the-wedge-southern-california-hdcam_4232/ http://www.surfline.com/surf-report/malibu-southern-california-hdcam_4209/

Appears we are starting to get the left overs in San Francisco today. http://www.surfline.com/surfline/lola/5dw_cencalanim_hpd.jsp Still some good sets for Hawaii: That buoy they talked about in the video is pretty clear in this cam shot of Ala Moana Yacht Harbor entrance...

Here is the same swell: http://www.surfline.com/surf-news/best-of-the-web-ala-moana_58875/# Yes, they make it to Hawaii. The fun part is the actual swell is focused on mainland South America. Hope you can see this: http://www.surfline.com/surfline/lola/spaallhgtanim.jsp The irony is that...

Swell has made it to Hawaii. It's diminished to a 8 foot swell, but, it has the longest duration I've ever seen in a Hawaii south swell, 21 seconds. Record up till now, was 17 sec. Here's Ala Moana Bowls. It usually is WAY inside this buoy, not outside it...

HMMM. That's a 20 minute drive away...;-)

On again today. Looks like the finals will go. Kelly Slater is going again.

The Heat Analyzer now has two sections on the tow session, and the live contest is on today. http://billabongpro.com/tahiti11/heat-analyzer-gb

Here is one of the largest, most perfect barrels I've ever seen paddled into: http://www.surfline.com/surflinetv/sixty-seconds/ryan-hipwood-wave-of-my-life_58680 Tavurua, Cloudbreak.

PICTURES ARE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, NOT TO MENTION A BIT OF VIDEO: http://www.surfline.com/surf-news/full-coverage-of-billabong-pro-tahiti-tow-session_58716/

Maybe a bit weird, but there are a lot of slabs, maybe not as heavy as that one, that people tow into that are freezing cold. Dungeons South Africa comes to mind, as does Mavericks, and a few other spots around here.

BROADCAST IS ON! http://www.billabongpro.com/tahiti11/live-gb

Here is a link for yesterday's highlights. Pretty darn good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2gGiZvRYgs&feature=uploademail Guess no broadcast today.

http://www.billabongpro.com/tahiti11/live-gb If you get a chance, have a look tomorrow, and, part of todays surf was pretty incredible. Use the "Heat Analyzer" feature to play back the high scoring waves. First couple heats were the craziest. Tomorrow should be incredible.

Thanks M. Didn't know that....

Isn't just saying the hard drive went out the best way to deal with it?

DD: Is it really double the value of the these? http://pckeyboards.stores.yahoo.net/customizer.html I am loosing a keyboard, so this topic is timely....

Is there something that 2003 won't do that 2008 does? When I was using 2008 I couldn't help but think that it was 2003 with a face lift...

Wouldn't it be cheaper to spray paint a cheap keyboard? Any reason not to get a PS/2 keyboard? Are the new motherboards getting rid of that standard as well?

DB: It's what I posted in the original post.

Please explain this to me: Panasonics specs for their Plasma: "Costco extends manufacturers warranty to 2 years Screen Size: 42" Class (41.6" diagonal) Aspect Ratio: 16:9 Resolution: 1024 x 768 Tuner: ATSC/QAM/NTSC Display Capability: 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p 24p Playback (2:3) " So native...

Time: Thanks. I'll have to go look at the 32" Panasonic and pull the number. I do like the 40" size. I guess I might test the Vizio 37" on the HTPC. The scrolling and vibrating of letter might be due to the old video card running at a non-native resolution. Might be the Viore just uses a...

Thanks. I looked but couldn't find anything. I'll turn it back inside 60 days, and hope the other TV's have come down in price. If I wasn't using this as a computer monitor, I'd probably be delighted with the color to begin with, and, I don't think most humans can tell the difference between...

I switched all my server case fans to Stealths. Not as much case flow, but quieter. My server case in particular doesn't work well without very high speed, noisy, 80-90 mm fans. DD setup the beast, it works. I leave it alone.

Seems to play movies best. When scrolling or typing it takes awhile for the type to be seen properly. It also doesn't really run at 1900X 1080. That's too big, and it runs off the screen. It's currently running at 1808 X 1016 to fit it to the screen. It might be that the custom settings are...

I was really just after a decent monitor, and, for the price, it's a great monitor. Cheesy remote, o DVD player,etc. When it first Came out, I gather it was over 500 dollars. It looks like they had 758 of em, and were looking to move them quickly, with Costco buying them up. I can't help but...

I've been monitoring my SATA drives in the server, and, after finding a couple cooking along in custom enclosures at 130 degrees, I reconnected the fans in the back of the case, That worked. Dropped them to 100 degrees or less. I have found that the Antec hotswap cases, with no caddies, gets...

I bought a little 21.5" Samsung monitor at Costco.dollars, but really 175, since they didn't include a DVI cable with it. That made me think it was a poor value, small, and I decided to return it. Last time I was in, I noticed the 27" Samsung monitors had come down from 349 to 329. Still high...

I don't really get the merits of a small case. I want something I can put lots of drives in, good hardware, lots of fans, big and quiet, and can get my big fingers into to work on. David is not small, nor are his hands.

So, 50 dollars for the enclosure. 80 for the board. What radio and power supply do you plan on using? Which antennas?

HMMM. Free Linksys 54GL, and it lasted what, 5 years? Reasonable but not fast, and very reliable. There are a few gems out there. Hope this 4200 proves to be one of those. If not, it has been bought at Costco for that very reason.

The 2500K and the 2600K are pretty substantial improvements in speed, at near the same price points. However, they are pretty new. I'd wait a bit until the prices come down a bit, and they get all the bugs worked out on the new motherboards. Also the motherboards seem to be kind of high...

What CPU are you going to run?

Looks like the build DD is thinking about, analogy wise. Appears to be a 8-71 Jimmy blower, which is usually put on a big block, 427 or bigger, Chevy. Means the entire car has to be pretty much a funny car. Wonder if they used NO2 as well?

tested the USB port on the 4200. It works with single drives, like thumb drives. It doesn't work with my toaster. Not a big deal, but, just another minor pain.

New TP antenna N model came in. Hooked it up USB. I'm getting 40 Mbps down, nearly 10 up. Pulled the G adapter. Now have an open PCI slot.

Chewy: Bought a 615N. That works, though it was about a 10 dollar waste over the 610N, maybe. Appears to be the same card, but with more memory. It works. Hooked up both computers and the printer on my cheap little switch, and it's fine, except one of the cards doesn't seem to like to get an IP...

Update. The wireless worked for awhile. Around 18 Mbps, with WPA2. For some reason, it's stopped working with WPA2 on, and will only work with no security enabled. Then it works really slow: 6-10 Mbps. Network discovery also takes a very long time. My wireless network doesn't show up anymore on...

msn.com is horrible, both adds loading, and stupid Flash stuff. I should probably install Peerblock to get rid of a lot of that stuff. THIS site actually loads VERY quickly, given the increase in bandwidth. Greg is going to other room to install Peerblock...

Sounds like fun. Nice shot.

I just looked at mine, and, it really sucks. 204 MS or something very high like that. Still getting 70Mbps on the Cat 6.

None of this is going away. The IRS is FAR too powerful, and entrenched in the American system. The system employees a large number of people, both the IRS and accountants, tax lawyers etc. I have little doubt that those groups are powerful enough to stop any real change in the system.

Just finished watching Soul Surfer. True story about Bethany Hamilton. Ms. Hamilton lost an arm to a tiger shark, yet came back, surfed as a pro, and has towed into Jaws, some of the biggest waves on the planet. Acting is ok. Film work is horrible. Constant cutting, failing to show any...

Sam: There is only one or two wireless devices on at the same time. The machines I spend 99.5% of my time on are both Cat 6. The main reason for the new router was the 54G Linksys was limiting the WIRED connections to around 45-48 Mbps. That is noticeable vs.80-120 Mbps. Also, despite your...

X-Men First Class- Enjoyed this movie. Jennifer Lawerence was beautiful and good/bad as Mystique. While she may not get another Oscar nomination for this role, she did an excellent job of acting. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm235911680/nm2225369 January Jones is pretty stunning as the White Queen...

Maxburn: Your DSN server has me a bit baffled. I had astound change my DSN server to a google DSN at one point, because their DSN sucked.

I own a drill, just not the proper bit for this sort of thing;-) Sam: I googled protocol overhead. Can't make the connection between premise and conclusion yet: 802.11 and biggest load of crap ever? Might be I drank rum last night for the first time in a LONG time...;-(
