Me too, although it's now been 9 days. It's been pretty mild, mainly affecting me when I lay down and particularly when laying on my right side. Otherwise, it's just been dizziness rather than the spinning. I'm assuming CougTek is deliberately conflating vertigo with acrophobia. :p

This has been brewing for a while: http://www.hybridcars.com/what-is-the-actual-overall-horsepower-rating-for-the-tesla-p85d/ You can calculate a reasonable estimate of power from the terminal speed of a 1/4 mile run, as opposed to the time, which is subject to gearing and torque variations...

Don't worry, Tesla doesn't do risk management. That's the secret of their success.

If you visit the NYT article the guy has cherry-picked from, you will see the full text from Dr Phil Jones: "Dr. Phil Jones, a climatologist at East Anglia, said global temperatures rose on average about one degree Fahrenheit since the beginning of the century. He said the six warmest years on...

Probably more significant is the fact that the Sanyo NC-MQNO6U is only a dual-channel charger. On top of that, it's a 'slow' charger, taking 10 hours to fully charge. Although there's some mention of being a 'smart' charger, Negative Delta V isn't reliable with low charge rates, so it's more...

It's on a domain. We only use "Advanced Sharing", which I imagine is legacy SMB. I should point out that we've been using it in the current location for about 10.5 months. It's only in the last few weeks that it's gone all weird - quite possibly after I brought it up to date with Windows...

We use a spare Windows 7 Pro box as a small workgroup server, with a couple of file shares and a couple of database server processes (although we're typically only using one at a time). Some time in the last few weeks, it's become frustratingly slow to respond. And there are weird issues when...

And me. Very pleased with my color MFP with double-sided scanning that I can use across the network. In contrast, HP printer software is toxic bloatware, so this buyout is a disappointment.

I'd just like to thank Stereodude for being thoughtful enough to create my very own thread for me. Unfortunately, I currently work 7 days a week while struggling health-wise, so I haven't been able to give this thread the attention it truly deserves. The obvious way to improve cooling on the...

My post was in response to your snark. Everything in it is accurate, including the fact that the FT05 supports an internal optical drive. The MiniITX case examples were an attempt to broaden your perspective, in response to "This is one of the best quiet cases for GPU thermals out there per...

Uh... SPCR rated this case third out of the group of 6 it chose to compare it to. In terms of GPU thermals, it came fifth. Four of the six support an optical drive, including the runaway leader, the Silverstone FT05. If you look further into SPCR tests, you would find the Fractal Design Core...

You need to get reasonable airflow across the GPU subsystem, but that case is making it nearly impossible. Your only useful exhaust is the PSU - the holes in the back above the video card are probably a thermal short circuit to the PSU and not helping your cause. The lower exhaust fan will help...

There's such a big ratio between the the mass of even a small car and the mass of a human that there shouldn't be any significant difference in the human occupant's deceleration in a single vehicle collision. In multi-vehicle collisions, each vehicle has to dissipate the total combined energy...

You're neglecting scale when drawing your conclusions. A surface exposed to friction will indeed wear out faster if it moves faster, but if the time it takes to wear out is 50 years, it's not a relevant datum. I don't know exactly how long it takes to wear out a hydrodynamic bearing in a hard...

Can anyone nominate games that measurably benefit from an i7 over an i5? Assuming a GTX1060 for graphics, of course. ;) I'm not talking overclocking, so we're probably comparing i5 @3.3-3.9GHz with i7 @3.4-4.0GHz.

That would be the caustic soda. Eats anything organic, including you and your clothes.

How, exactly? Wouldn't you have to drop it on a corner a couple of times to bend two non-adjacent pins?

Had a bit of a shock today - returned an MSI Mini-ITX motherboard that wouldn't boot with RAM in slot 1 of 2. Supplier popped off the CPU cooler and removed the CPU, to reveal TWO BENT PINS!!! The thing is, they were several millimeters apart and nowhere near any edge. HTF can you bend 2...

I think that page tells you that the Corsair fans are probably what most people want. But I could be wrong - the chart was a little challenging.

What about an enterprise key? We have some sort of unlimited Windows 7 Pro key - that may be just MDSN for all I know. I'm thinking, upgrade once, then upgrade forever? it can't be like that, can it?

I managed to nab a Gainward GTX1060 for US$295. I'll take that as a win, considering the RX480 alternatives were selling for >US$300. It's a reference design, but I really don't care. At least it will fit - I noticed that some of the partner cards are alarmingly tall to accommodate large...

So within a couple of weeks of each other, AMD releases a strong midrange graphics card that uses about half the power of its previous generation, while NVidia releases a strong midrange card that matches what used to be a premium card - the GTX980. Reviews suggest that the Nvidia GTX1060 is...

Might be more a question of what he has applied to his car windows? ;) You can get photochromic that is activated by visible light as well as UV: http://www.drivewearlens.com/

1. Does even HP still bundle a drum with their toner cartridge? Certainly not with color laser. Otherwise, I agree with you that most home users don't print enough for it to make a difference. 2. I don't know which HP consumables tend to be cheaper than their competitors'. Maybe try shopping...

That service may be just the indexer, because after stopping it, all my searches still work under Windows 7.

Dave is going to include one of these:

Guys - and in this case I really do mean males - you need a major reality check. In 2008, the maternal mortality ratio in the USA was 16.7 per 100,000; in other words, one woman died of complications from pregnancy or childbirth for every 6,000 live births. Even in the best countries, the ratio...

Sorry, I was thinking of encrypted files, not hashes. I would like to emphasize that this assumes that a corporate system has been so comprehensively powned that a hacker can walk in and make off with their password hash database. The usefulness of that will depend on what services the system...

Sure. If it's not in a 'dictionary' - i.e. Google can't find it - then the only cracking method is brute force. By definition, that can't tell for example if you just repeated the same character 10 times. In fact, you can take any dictionary word and just add some padding to make it a reasonable...

OK, but it doesn't throttle in real world scenarios. In other words, when there is a human using the computer, rather than a lengthy benchmark test using the computer. Of course, the topic of this thread suggests it would be appropriate to use a heatsink in the described configuration.

For 7W maximum draw? :o

I haven't bought any Cree bulbs - they only made them in 110V. Go figure. Of 48 lamps in and around my house, 38 are LED. Of those, 11 are dimmable. The only failure I've had is one of the dimmables - an integrated LG downlight - and it died within an hour (the replacement and the other 5 LG...

Even in Oz, availability of anything other than 2700K or 6500K is poor. About the only manufacturer offering 4000K CFL is GE. To be frank, I couldn't stand even a 23W version of a 2700K light - surely the overpowering yellow cast is nauseating?

Power LEDs need heatsinking. The smaller the bulb, the more difficult it is to accomplish that within the bulb body. It's not coincidental that most LED flashlights use aluminium bodies. On top of that, light dispersion is completely different between an incandescent bulb and an LED emitter...

This thread describes how to control it and includes registry hacks and links: https://www.reddit.com/r/Surface/comments/47qczd/how_to_disable_intel_turbo_boost_to_improve/

Sorry, I'm wrong. I downloaded the user manual and it says the F1 has 3 modes, depending on available input power: 1. 1000mA for USB + 1000mA for battery 2. 1000mA for USB + 500mA for battery 3. 500mA for battery only until charged, then up to 1000mA for USB It doesn't say what happens if the...

This is why the specs state 1000mA for USB, but 1000mA MAX for slot. Based on this reading of the manufacturer's doco, the maximum total output is therefore 1000mA.

INPUT: DC 5V, >=500mA OUTPUT: 4.2V±1% (slot)/5V±5% (USB), 1000mA MAX (slot)/1000mA (USB) "≥" means at least, or minimum. So the minimum requirement for input current is 500mA. The maximum output is 1000mA. Therefore the maximum input current is approximately 1000mA (4.2V x 0.1A = 0.42W ~ 84%...

Three working days = I'm impressed. Good to know - I will take MWave more seriously in future, they have a huge catalog.

I had always assumed that MWave were scammers, ie. advertised loads of stuff they didn't actually have. Keep us informed as to when you get delivery.

Ditto. 1920 lines @94dpi is my standard code viewer. You need a 1920x1200 monitor to achieve sufficient width when rotated. Not sure about US models - I bought a handful of Samsung S24C650 for this purpose and am not at all disappointed.

First of 3 parts of a review that tests various anti-ransomware products. I found this guy's other videos quite illuminating. Particularly enjoyed the Boot Time Protection tests, especially the ones on McAfee and Norton.

This seems to offer the sort of more finessed access control I was envisaging: WinAntiRansom Plus Apart from the ability to block ransomware trojans, it lets you use an application whitelist to limit access to file shares. Works out to be about $55 per user for 100 users and they list review...

That's more the sort of thing I was looking for. Windows won't let you add a write access password to a domain share. Version control, where users can only really ever create new files - rather than modify or delete existing files - is the answer I came up with. This wouldn't work with any file...

Outlook appears to be the main vector. Unlike some other email clients, hyperlinks are enabled by default and you can't change that. Why can't you reconfigure the default helper app for links to something that is not as happy to run scripts? Why can't you configure Windows or a browser to...

I'm tired of being hectored about not clicking on links in emails that may be fake. It's a reaction to repeated ransomware infestations. Surely it's possible to lock down an email client (Outlook), a mail server (Exchange) and file shares so that someone can't shut down a company with just an...

Awesome - I had no idea ...

Thanks for the great tips! I uninstalled a December 2012 version of Bluestacks about a year ago - hopefully it didn't leave crap behind.

I agree 100%.

As a disenfranchised stakeholder, I see Hillary Clinton as by far the most conservative candidate - she is a creature of the establishment and there will be no surprises. I am not at all surprised by Merc's encounter; politicians who aspire to high office simply aren't nice people - it's just...
