For anything.

I never take medication.

Star Wars is and will remain episode IV to VI. The rest is garbage only made to make Lucas & friends richer. I don't expect the newer episode to be any different. Star Wars had a time and that time was the late seventies to the early eighties. The punch line of the entire series is the...

My back problem is purely muscular. It won't last. I already feel better, but I can still feel pain. I'll visit the gym later today (I never train in the morning) and see if I can make it go away. I'm not sure I completly understood your sentence about your father's back problem, but the end...

I've hurt my back. Not when lifting 300lbs at the gym, but when I changed side on my bed, last night when trying to find sleep. What a glorious way to injure myself. I'm quite stuck. I've tried to unlock my back by going at the gym this evening, but it didn't fix anything. Now I walk like...

If you think the cat is suffering, you are being selfish by letting it in pain by fear of losing it. In the odd chance that it is fixable, the more you wait, the lesser the chances it will be curable. Go to the vet.

39?

Why? Stop beating a dead horse! Run it inside a VM at the very least if you must.

It's reserved to those who can grow facial hair, dude. You're not concerned.

Typically operates at 1.2V versus 1.5V for DDR3. There are low voltage DDR3 modules that operate at 1.35V and high-frequency, "enthousiast"-oriented modules that run at 1.65V, but the standard voltage for DDR3 is 1.5V. So DDR4 modules normally dissipate less wattage than DDR3 modules. They...

Since he shares the same family name as Mark and he kind of looks like a much younger version of our beardly member from Oregon, maybe he's his nephew or something?

Me too and I've never had any trouble with those. They seem to last a reasonable amount of time, probably similar to the originals. There must be fraudulous chinese stuff out there, but I've been lucky enough to avoid it. I've always purchased my 3rd party batteries from Amazon or from a...

IPsec allows a connection about twice as fast as OpenVPN and it's simpler to configure. Last time I've checked, OpenVPN was vulnerable since it uses OpenSSL certificates, which have been cracked several months ago. I don't know if the norm has switched to LibreSSL certificates since or not...

HGST has been bought by Western Digital and a part of their manufacturing has been sold to Toshiba IIRC. Samsung's hard drives business has been bought by Seagate. HGST still is the most reliable brand you can buy nowadays, according to my own experience and bits I read on the Net.

Yeah, congratulations to Howell for sticking here long enough to reach 4000 posts. Also, this made me think about Lunarmist for no special reason :

Ok, I've figured out the "mouse pointer zoom" that Howell wrote about. Still not very usable IMO. I thought Microsoft's own RDP app should be the best one, since it's thier own protocol. Like in many other instances, others probably do the job better than Microsoft for their own stuff...

I'd like to own this new LG 4K monitor. Maintream resolution or not.

Format it from a usb/SATA adapter once Windows is booted. You have one of those, don't you?

Wow, that's a crazy deal.

Well, I thought there was a zooming feature, but there isn't. The tip of my little finger is 3 or 4 times the size of the Windows key in the lower left corner. Logging off the session is quite a challenge. RDP on smaller than 4" screen? Merc, you're a masochist.

Nice case for the price. With Intel exiting the server market, I'm not too optimistic with the support though, especially if I ever need to replace a failed PSU. Minus this concern, great enclosure for the money.

Indeed.

I'm the new owner of a Moto G (which I call a "motog"). By far the finest phone I've ever had, even though it probably is one of the lowest end phone currently on the market. The display is very nice and the touch screen works well. Don't ask me about the camera as I don't use this. It is...

The Sharepoint setups are not for themselves, but for several customers. Several customers = several different setups, so several different VMs. As it is development and not production, downtime as to be limited, but it is not the end of the world in case the server goes down. They'll have a...

What manufacturer took three weeks to replace an hot-swappable power supply? I also want to know because of the system shutdown issue. I met him this afternoon and he prefers future upgradability potential to best value right now. Apparently, they might upgrade it as soon as January, but they...

Can you find an off-the-shelf tower enclosure with a redundant power supply and hot-swap hard drive bays? I thought about it, but I've only found Supermicro chassis starting at 700$CDN with the needed features. I originally suggested a system with the Supermicro 7047R-3RF4+ back in August...

That's what many people said fifteen years ago. It WAS fifteen years ago. I think they've had the time to get it right.

So, not disappointed with the noise? I hope you don't regret the Cooler Master I suggested you. 51°C-52°C at full load shouldn't be a cause of concern for the CPU.

AFAIK, his brother isn't Santilli. BTW, you currently can't put four 18-core Xeon inside a single system, unless the system is some kind of twin server with two separated motherboards. 15 SAS drives in a RAID 6 is a waste in my opinion because RAID 6 kills the number of achievable IOps...

I've suggested the temporary cloud solution a few months back, but they still need the server and since they will eventually host all their development internally, I plan for a system that can be made great, not the best system that can be assembled for 5000$ without putting money into it...

Well, hopefully, only a temporarily piss-poor company. A person close to me asked me to walk on water help his company build a decent virtualization server for under 5 grands. Even worse, I'm talking about 5000$CDN, not U$ (so it's more like ~4400U$). The server also has to be a tower, not...

I've spent yesterday's evening and early this morning fixing this because many of my old customers had this to connect many people to cheap home-made servers. Visit http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/47610-How-to-crack-the-quot-termsrv-dll-quot-in-windows-8-1/page25 . This is about...

Anything with a database-type of load. That would be quite useful. Thanks.

It is night time and I absolutely don't regret my purchase. Great lighting.

Anyone sees why the Supermicro X10SL7-F-O motherboard wouldn't fit inside a Supermicro CSE-745TQ-R920B server chassis? A lot more expensive than the Rosewill, but more appropriate for a serious, enterprise server build (which wasn't the case with Handruin's system and I know it would be...

I really like that motherboard. I really hate the fact that the PSU is not redundant. It is ok for a home build, but that's the prime reason why I can't consider this build as a backup solution for one of our big customer who needs to save up to 10TB of data as a safety from the production...

I bought 4 Cree bulbs like this one. They are installed, but it's still daytime here, so I can't judge how good they are. The CRI is low (80), but the other specifications are quite ok for me and the price was hard to beat (~5$ each after the local electrical distributor discount). They look...

For the record, as I thought, it wouldn't work.

Installed the Windows 10 preview? Did you know that? That "feature" better vanish from the production release or I swear I wipe Microsoft from all the buildings I manage.

Ok, then I'll ask HP's technical support directly then. Thanks.

And now, you're rich, married, have a kid and a good job. If you ever write a book about the secret of your success, we better have a special spot into it.

Microsoft sells a docking station for its Surface Pro 3, which is more a consumer tablet/laptop than a business one. Of course they do. HP has a slim docking station for its newer Elitebook 8x0 G1 laptops (which are flimsy compared to the older 8570p BTW). I'd have to check if Lenovo and...

The SFP+ connector is backward compatible with SFP connector, meaning that you can fit an SFP transceiver into an SFP+ connector. But that doesn't mean that an SFP+ transceiver can speak with an SFP transceiver. Maybe it can, maybe it can't. It's light signal, not electrical signal, so it...

Due to some weirdo networking interference, I'm considering linking two locations separated by ~80m with a multimode fiber. I have an HP 3800-48G switch with one empty SFP+ port. I plan to put an SFP+ SR 10G transceiver (part #J9150A) into it and pass a 100m multimode duplex fiber cable to the...

You could say that to most forum members, but Sedrosken actually is a younger person who has grown up with Xbox 360 and mobile devices.

Do you mean the Hyper-V manager? The main problem I have with it is the difficulty I have to connect to the servers at the office through the VPN connection with my home computer. Even with a computer configured to be part of the domain, the Hyper-V manager doesn't want to connect to the...

Instead of opting for a Noctua cooler & fan, stick with the Intel HSF and jump from the GTX 760 to the GTX 970. This card is twice as fast as the aging GTX 760, for 100AU$ more. While a GPU is rarely the part you want to put the most money in, in this case, I think it's a better investment...

I don't have much to say about Chewy's wife, except that it is very unfortunate. I've know several people close to me dying of cancer. Just try to focus on making the remaining time being worth it for her, you and your kids. And even though it's very hard, accept it. Fighting reality won't...

He would have to change his motherboard model since the FT03-mini is basicly a sugo SG05 standing on the front panel. It only accepts mini-ITX motherboards. **Edit : Also, if my memory is good, the FT03 and FT03-Mini require slim optical drive, which would require an additional expense for...

This morning, I looked more like a century old than only 85. When I cam eback from lunch, a bit after noon, I almost had to thru myself out of the car in order to get out of it. When I came back from work, I sat on my cheap computer chair for almost two hours, but surprise, when I stood up...
