I generally tell it to keep the following: Last 3 changes One from over an hour ago One from yesterday One from last week One from every month permanently My theory goes that the further back things need to go, the more understanding the user is about re-keying data.

The new version of the software is natively Windows based with an SQL backend and doesn't puke with WAN-like latency as their old system (some real-time OS with Oracle 8i) did. It will run locally everywhere. No access gateways; I've built a private WAN spanning a couple mountain ranges and...

Outlook makes users particularly vulnerable, and I can't imagine the benefits being worth it. My best (not only) defense against ransomware is a near-real-time backup with versioning that doesn't honor deletes to a share that isn't accessible with any domain user permissions. The...

When we started the house remodel 7 years ago I bought a full set of DeWalt 18v. Time for a replacement set soon I think.

Nope, I left the decision with the software vendor. They already had a supported configuration that ran Citrix so we just went straight to that.

You've nailed it. Not having control over the TS clients causes all kinds of trouble. Not being able to train them is an issue as well. After we did a full lockdown with group policy things were a little better. After we went to Citrix and started only exposing apps instead of the desktop things...

Recently got a quote from a vendor. Someone we already have a functional system with, just needed to add a new module. $22k. $9k in software licenses, $10k in training and labor for setup, $3k in stuff that, even after I asked for clarification, still didn't know what it was. My second request...

Configured correctly an SLS is $250+ all by itself. That number sounds high but not out of the question. On the first read I made it 6 words in before switching to look at the pictures. First thought: Handy is doing well these days...

The thought of managing 1000 TS clients scares the crap out of me. I suppose with enough staff it'd be fine.

Years ago, I once configured a server and then shipped it halfway across the country. It was handled so roughly during transport that a heatsink snapped off and tumbled around the inside cracking boards and breaking parts off components.

I've had a half-dozen or so root canals, probably should be in line for another 4 or so but I can't be bothered. When the nerve endings cause enough pain to prevent sleep or eating I'll have them killed off. Haven't bothered with crowns either, eventually I'll just get a set of implants and be...

I've done untangle, smoothwall, and PFSense. They all do the things that routers need to do. Unless you have a very fast connection or specific interesting needs it is likely that a standalone router will do just as well with less power consumption. I'll be running a VM for my firewall soon...

I can understand the awkwardness. I managed to avoid it (at least in my head) by never even asking for a quote. Tire Rack just ships straight to his shop and I call to let him know they're mine after they arrive.

Perhaps the main parties losing control will eventually be enough to force a change to the system. Making votes more than a binary choice is the only way to prevent both sides from running towards the extremes.

I heard that Founder's Edition are basically the only cards to come with the reference cooler. This is supposed to be really good. Of course, I might not even test mine before sticking a waterblock on it.

Attended the Leon Panetta institute lecture this evening. Fun times. https://youtu.be/CNXcN1NRd94

That's nothing. Here plastic bags are banned and paper bags are $0.10. We use our own anyway, but this kind of thing is why there are so many laws (and lawyers).

...and some of the info I'm hearing now is discussing how many times faster a 1080 will be for VR vs. TitanX. VR is the main reason I went SLI in the first place, and I still haven't gotten my Rift!

Yup. I use the GRC program annually and it makes a significant difference. Easily saves the time it takes to run it.

The most impressive part of it in my opinion is the lower power consumption. Going from 2x TitanX to 1x1080 would reduce my power bill appreciably.

Sweet. Thanks for running that project, Merc. Much appreciated.

I put "nope", so I'm sure you're fine.

Have not seen Deadpool yet, but the gag reel is NSFW and hilarious. http://www.themarysue.com/deadpool-leaked-gag-reel/

Fox News editorial What a mess....

That also depends on the game. Kerbal Space Program was CPU limited (at least up until the 1.1 release) at any resolution and graphics setup. PhysX was unable to handle all the stuff (even with a TitanX dedicated to it).

Remaining GPU limited with just one of these would probably be a $1200 computer. 6700K, 512GB Samsung 950 EVO SSD, 32GB RAM, ~500W PSU.

One of the reasons I run a water cooling setup is that it discourages buying every conceivable upgrade instantly. Perhaps by the time my Rift arrives (still no ETA!?!?) they'll have a new top-end card that will allow me to go single-GPU.

The stand it ships with uses the 200mm set, there are threaded holes for a 100mm mount, but did I mention this thing is big? 3840x2160@60Hz via DP straight out of the box. Working great. Not a significant amount of glow/bleed. Color is a little off, but I can't say how much. When I bring the...

This is a big monitor. I've used a 42" 1080P TV as a monitor before, but this seems larger for some reason. Build quality seems great, the cables that ship with it are awesome. It does have a VESA mount, but it is a larger format (200x200? didn't check). Left to right: Dell 30", Dell 27"...

My favorite version of Mario is the one done by the Boston Pops. Can't find a good web copy at the moment.

Paul Ryan, unhappy or planning a last-minute dive?

One of the things I love about Marian Hill is that it rewards repeat listening and stands up to intense scrutiny. The best sound system you have at the highest volume settings and it just sounds cleaner. This is not common in this genre. Her latest track, Marian Hill - Down, is probably the...

The idea of Trump with nuclear launch authority scares me a bit, too.

As you've said, there are great advantages to using vendor drives. IMHO, they are not worth it in any kind of storage rig. If all you are getting is half a dozen SSDs then pay their crazy cost and don't worry. For a storage appliance (10 drives+) the cost gets crazy and not getting 10TB drives...

I see it as more of a lack of structure and leadership within the GOP. Trump was not the best horse in their glue factory, and his nomination has significantly hurt not only their run for president but many congressional seats as well. Politicians running for lower positions can usually raise...

This isn't the first time I've heard a company make this statement. I never retain original packaging. Normally I'll have a local professional service put together the box/protection and ship it anyway. I've never had it rejected if the packaging was sufficient.

I'm sure I'm losing something using the Creative X-Fi HD as the DAC, but it doesn't have those issues. Now that my keyboard has a good volume control on it (daskeyboard Pro 4) I don't need the soundcard to be external or within reach. How much am I missing not going to something impressively...

The first gen 32" 4k I bought also wasn't an Ultrasharp. I could attribute it to cautiousness concerning a 1st generation product and not wanting to damage the Ultrasharp brand, but it is more likely that the monitor doesn't meet some technical specification (inputs or whatever).

Didn't look for codes. The spec you are looking for is DP 1.2, the quick Google I did didn't look promising. http://hothardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-titan-performance-yes-it-can-play-crysis-3?page=1

That'll have to be the next set. With the current power levels traction control has fits when I floor it from a standstill, so I pretty much always drive with TC off. This gives my car a significant appetite for tires.

Scheduled delivery 5/9/2016 if you want to wait for me to give a review.

Partially the off-roading, but also the NVH scores are considerably better and traction not much worse. The DWS seems to just be a much better rated tire. Doesn't hurt that they are cheaper.

Didn't realize there was one. I ordered 8 from Tire Rack last month. (Set for the wife as well). Does not specify 06 on the receipt. Is it just a refresh or a different SKU?

I recently put the 5th set of Conti DWS on my car, 109k miles now. The main reason I went with APR was that the local guy who did APR tunes was nice and knowledgeable. I don't think any of the tuners do rocket science or that their parts are exceptionally shiny.

I don't mean to break out the "640k should be enough" argument, but we are reaching a point where there are fewer and fewer applications that would benefit from significant increases in computational performance or storage density. As the cost rises and the number of potential...

How so? All but one of his charts are cited from reputable sources.

Fun video, but I think the core message (bad, but not fatal, as always) is a good one. https://youtu.be/A0ZyhPfBnNc

I'd agree with Chewy on this one.

Things are getting a bit better. Echo paired up with my Google calendar this morning (big data win for them) and now reminds me of upcoming events and allows me to add new ones.
