People in your neck of the woods are poor enough to steal 4$ audio cables? Really? You know that with your skills, you could earn a decent salary in some place that doesn't look like a third-world country?

I can't do more than I produce now. We would need a return from two or three of the formerly contributing members like Handruin, Ddrueding, Bozo or Striker. I think it was some seven years ago that I thought that we would never come back into the top 100 teams. I'm happy to have been wrong.

Unless you provide pictures, I don't believe you.

I used to drive between 30000Km and 35000Km per year, but since I've moved to Québec city, I'm much closer to my office, so I think I drove less than 15000Km during the past year.

It's a Nissan Altima with a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine. The CVT is the only one offered. First car I have that isn't a manual.

I received my new car Friday. So far, I've driven approximately 330Km in it, 50Km of which were city driving and my average is a little over 40MPG (5.8L/100Km). Not bad for a non hybrid midsize car. It should consume more than that though. Unlike I did with my older car, I accelerate like an...

But you shouldn't. Autocorrection is what makes Mooner so entertaining.

I've not found the Abel, but the Reserve cost ~106$ here. It's probably significantly more expensive than what you pay in your area. Booze isn't cheap here.

I like cognac, but my wallet doesn't. So I mostly drink rhum and whiskey. Good to see the bartender back.

It could be interesting, depending on the price. The 1.2TB cost ~750$, so I don't expect the new 1.8TB to cost less than a thousand. It could make sense in a 2U server with 24x 2.5" bays. It does bring 2.5" drives almost to parity in regard to storage density with slower 3.5" drives since...

I have a large cache.

It took us more than eleven years, but we overtook them back.

"unsalvageable things" ...are you talking about my old car? I got 350$ for it ; it's better than nothing. I'll be a pedestrian for longer than I thought. The car seller won't have my new car before the middle of next week. They told me Thursday, a day before I was supposed to go get it...

As a matter of fact, it is currently hotter here than in Chicago, Toronto, Detroit, New york, Boston and Los Angeles. You have to go to places like Phoenix, anywhere in Texas or in Florida to find a hotter Hell. Not pleasant at all.

Not when it's 30°C outside with 90° humidity level. The road in itself isn't bad though.

I am, but I won't receive it until another few days. This week, I walk.

I no longer have a car and since my bike broke on the same day that I got rid of my car, I am now a pedestrian. Good thing I only live within a 20-minute walk of my job.

That's more of a general statement and not only one for your situation. Few are good, but most make me think that their degree made them unlearn how to work intelligently. You want the job to be done? Go see a technician. You want a complicated and uneffective solution to a simple problem...

For 1200 square feet, you need a 2-ton unit. Our main air conditioner for the server room is an LG 2-ton unit similar to this one. It is worth around 2000$. We've had ours for a single year, but it works all year long, even during winter. Despite that the outside temperature is quite a bit...

I don't think it's the one where Adcadet works because I once looked for it (thanks to the lattitude/longitude numbers he post) and it doesn't look like the one I've seen on the Net that is about to fall in a river. A confirmation by Adcadet would be nice though.

I will add that SolidWorks itself isn't the most stable piece of software there is to begin with. The built-in update feature is a major PITA. Better to uninstall everything and to download the latest version with the most recent SP in my experience. Doesn't play nice with certain versions of...

For SolidWorks? A pair of Titan. All our CAD stations where SolidWorks is installed have NVidia graphic cards (although those are all Quadro). Their drivers are more stable for CAD work.

It can be quite useful when you want to dispose of drives with sensitive data that have gone through their useful life.

For some reason, I can't edit my post to fix the malformed quote when I'm at the office. Could someone please fix this?

News source With Fusion-io's products and their UltraDIMM SSD, SanDisk is positioning itself to be a strong player in the enterprise flash storage market.

So with the motherboard, the enclosure and an SFX power supply, it would be like a 300$ cheaper version of a Synology DS1813+ with slightly higher processing power, but without a mature storage software on it? I could see it for home use, but not in a business environment.

I need to replace my car ASAP, so my money will go elsewhere. My next server will probably be in a rackmount anyway. Sorry.

It is stuff like this that had me quit the DIY segment and move to server-grade equipment some two years ago. There are still annoyances, but not of this level and there generally a much better level of support since the money involved is an order of magnitude higher, if not more. I've...

Having a bobcat would have made my life very simple. However, my entire equipment consisted of a shovel, a wheelbarrow and a rake. The job all four of you guys did would have taken at least two, if not three full days if you didn't have the jake hammer and the bobcats, but only sledgehammers...

Nieces and nephew. I don't have any children I know of.

I didn't know you were married and I thought you were in your early thirties. Time goes fast, it seems. While not as fun, I shoveled a full truck load of gravel. Alone (or like it...kids don't help much, which is normal). I don't know how much it weighted overall, but since the entire pile...

Just curious, is it a dual E5-2450L v2 or a dual E5-2650L v2?

Or... Stab your forearm with a knife and play in the wound for a few hours until you faint. Almost equally painful.

If you want Ubuntu + Mate, why don't you try Mint instead? Version 17 just came out and it's quite mature.

It's cheaper and faster than top enterprise SSD like the HGST SSD800MH or Seagate SSD 1200 (both featuring SAS 12Gbps interface), but you can't fit as many in a single server though. However, fit two or three like that in a server with mecanical drives in the front hot-swap bays, then install...

Linux From Scratch might be interesting for you. It is time consuming though. Once completed, you could end up with Sedrosken Linux.

Good. That way I can get rid of Windows 8.1 on my single computer crunching GPU units.

Congratulations. The sooner you can get out of school with a diploma, the earliest you can start earning money. It's important to have your basis right, but as you'll learn later in your life, it's on-the-field experience that counts the most. In order to get that, you need to be hired and you...

Welcome to our forum.

I don't remember any flagrant problems with Toshiba drives, but I might have forgotten the case. What are you refering to?

I'd take it anyway.

It has a lower transfer rate than either the Seagate or HGST 6TB offerings while consuming just as much as the Seagate and significantly more than the HGST He6. Unless it is much cheaper than the alternatives, I'll pass. Thanks for posting the news.

Processor in a typical Server 2012 server : multi-core Intel Xeon. Processor in a typical Synology NAS : ARM-kin or Atom. Those array rebuilding times aren't surprising.

I thought about the resistor color code, but it's not quite that.

I don't think so, although the stiffnest in my left middle finger that I felt a few months ago (which has vanished since) and the few troubles I have with my entire left arm articulations is worrying. I'll test tomorrow how far I can throw the 3lbs dumbbell-mockery. I wish you to get the green...

So, did you buy some higher-end switch to resolve your port number issue or not? If not, I might have a deal for you, thanks to a cancelled order from one of my suppliers. HP JG846A (4x HP JC772A bundle, plus some LC+SR transceivers) : ~50,000$CDN plus shipping on a pallet (~47,000U$)...

BTW, these days my left elbow articulation hurts (it has been like that for years) so I normally limit myself to 90lbs one-hand dumbells at the gym. I'm no longer exceptionally strong.

I bought some 3lbs weight similar to the one you showed for my nieces and nephew a few years back. My brother has a long backyard. I'll check how far I can trow it. Maybe not a hundred meters for the 3lbs one, but certainly more than 30m.

Thanks, it was entertaining. Salami ain't hot dog sausage though.
