Nope.

It must be quite hard to inhale smoke through a sausage. One has to be quite a sucker to achieve that.

WTH happened with team Curecoin? They now compute around 60 million points per day. Did they hack one of Amazon's datacenters to convert it to the FAH project or what?

Congratulations. Although in your case, it doesn't count. You're Asian so you'll live to an hundred years old even if you smoke and you eat hot dog and bacon for breakfast.

Thanks for taking the time to give us some news about him.

Thanks. You are both very helpful, as usual.

Unfortunately, it's pink. Put it in a cartoon box and ship it.

You made no VPN connection for yourself in case you need to log in remotely? Oh and what you guys prefer for encryption : 3DES or AES-256? Also, with the recent HearthBleed fiasco, don't you feel IPSec is preferable to SSL VPN? I know the firewall can typically process more data through an...

Something like a Netgear SRX5308 then? It is true that if I don't need packet inspection, I don't really need a Fortinet or SonicWALL appliance. The SRX5308 only cost 400$.

Hmmm... the slightly higher-end SonicWALL NSA 220 is only 75$ more than the TZ 215. Food for thought.

I might jump to the Sonicwal TZ 215 instead (part #01-SSC-4976). I've read some cooments regarding annoying performance drop on lower-end models. I can find the hardware-only TZ 215 for ~700$CDN. After talking with the management here, we'll skip the malware-filtering option. It is the...

I must find an appliance to provide several VPN connections to different network segments for our customers. Many of our customers have development environments within our office and it would be practical for them to be able to access them remotely. I already know how to do that on low-end...

An HGST drive would be my top choice too. But even with a top notch SSD from Intel, you can't rely on a single disk. Always dupplicate the data. Always.

The greatest range I've had from a wireless adapter was from something like this. There is a more modern unit now, but the gain from the antenna is rated lower and I've never tried it.

That's a car I would love to have for myself, except with the 272HP turbo 4-cylinder, not the V6. So clocker, when do you buy a C7 Corvette as a week-end car?

I very much doubt the first Broadwell that will be introduced will be compatible with the X99 platform as they will be 4-core/8-thread max variants. I haven't read about it for quite some time, but the first Broadwell processors should fit on an LGA1150 of some kind. I remember Broadwell's...

I'm in awe and thoroughly overwelmed. Seriously, the new chipset is better than nothing, but I won't write to my mother about it. Not even an e-mail.

Wow, he wold not even get enough to buy the 110" by selling his baby girl on the black market. That's freaking expensive.

Advertising typically exploits the lack of critical judgement from average people. It doesn't work as well on the smaller portion of people who tend to research and compare solutions on rational basis. It exploits a flaw of our society's education and often tend to reinforce that flaw with...

That S*ny player might interest you. Seems expensive though.

I thought OLED had problems with color intensity diminishing quickly and that no solution had been found yet to improve their lifespan. I might confuse that problem with another technology though.

I needed headphones, both for my work environment (puny laptop speakers combined with very noisy environment) and for home, but I didn't want to spend too much on those. I bought a JVC HA-RX300 set and I'm quite please with it. Cost me 30$ from a local store (I've seen it almost half the price...

Try Wowza. The place I used to work early last year had a software interactive platform that used Wowza and ran it from AWS instances. You don't need interactivity, so you don't need their (still in alpha stage) product, but the media streaming from Wowza could be enough for you.

You don't drive stick? I think I remember you wrote that your wife doesn't, but why shouldn't you have fun? Having a manual gearbox isn't a hindrance, it's a plus (unless you drive in heavy traffic jam most of the time).

They are not expensive enough ; he'll buy the HGST He6 instead. Plus, the He6 has a higher geek factor as it is filled with helium. I bet Mercutio would have a greater interest in 6TB drives, provided they become less expensive. There's only so many 4TB drives you can fill an appartment with...

WTF were you doing with that much weight of dangerous material in your Audi? Are you so ashamed of yourself that you don't want your daughter to know you growing up?

IIRC, the Jetta is made in Mexico and it doesn't have a very good reputation regarding its reliability. I haven't looked at it much though. The one I'm looking for right now, based on my researchs on safercar.gov, the IIHS web site, manufacturers' specifications and various reviews is the...

Nothing official so far, but according to GM's and Ford's comparison engines, the 2015 Chrysler is a heavy drinker, despite its very low drag coefficient (0.27, compared to 0.34 for a 2014 Chevy Malibu). With a less powerful engine than most other mid size cars (184hp for a 2.4L 4-cyl), it...

I can't find a report for a tornado near Grand Rapids. I don't know much about the weather services in your area though.

I've lost several hours on this, for what was probably a non-issue. When I attempted to reinstall the VM's OS, it didn't work. Unit still showed as taked taking several days to complete. Pissed, I decided to format the entire server (the host, not only the VM). I even modified the BIOS...

It wasn't like the issue discussed in the link you gave. Anyway, I've upgraded both the guest OS, the FAH client and control and installed one update on the host OS and one of the two virtual machine went back to its original performance. The other one became slower. Way slower (8.2 days to...

Glad I could help. Happier you could save the motherboard.

I've successfully replaced bent LGA pins quite often, but I have a very good close range vision, despite my age. An exacto is the best tool for the job. A magnifying glass is cheaper than a new motherboard. I know you mentioned that reading glasses aren't enough, but I expect a magnifying...

I don't know why, but my ppd collapsed for the virtual machines computing big units. The only difference I can see is the recent bunch of Windows Update. It look likes I lost half of the performance I had before.

Take a look at the Yoga 2 Pro. It's much smaller and therefore portable (would probably fit in her purse). It's reasonably fast and has a nice display. I think it can also come with 8GB of RAM. The small Asus Ultrabook with FulHD screens are also worth a look.

I sure don't want to see what Lunarmist did there.

With the arrival of the Radeon R9 295X2, which can consume up to 500W, I started thinking about a way to properly use all that heat somewhere at home. Then, I thought about my water heater...the heating element can need up to 4500W. Someone needs to design a Folding@Home GPU-based water...

I don't know, but I expect 4 from the areal density number.

It must be a brain tumor. You shouldn't suffer long.

Well, my English is far from being as good as I thought it was because I can understand a single word of what the woman said.

News source Seagate quotes sequential transfer rates up to 216MB/s for the new drives, and it says the 6TB model is the fastest offering in its class. The Hitachi Ultrastar He6 is rated for only 177MB/s, lending weight to Seagate's claim. Both drives spin their platters at 7,200 RPM. However...

We seem to be affected, or at least at the moment, Tuesday, April 8th, ~18h20 eastern time.

What a shitty location!

So you want to know who's a drug addict in the forum? Me? Cafeine does the job well.

Who's been at IDF San Francisco lately? It seems to be the most pertinent show for server stuff year after year since Intel has the habit of introducing their latest Xeon E5 processors there. I might try to come this year or probably more next year. CES seems to be more of a circus than...

I'm still employed. I'm pretty much un-fireable since I'm the only one able to manage the costly new servers setup and I make a habit of saving them a few thousand $$$ on hardware purchases every now and then. This week, I've found a way to save 3000$ that no one else knew about. Next week...

I've sent it to my boss, telling him that's how it fells to have a project leaded by him (he's an engineer). I've also Cced a few other coworkers. Tomorrow should be an interesting day at work.

The bedroom projector, ah! You say that like it's a common appliance every Jack has. You really no longer know where to put your money. Now I'm just waiting for the moment you write about the one you'll place in the babies' room...with voice recognition control!

Check on Samsung's web site. The panel is a TN. Not interesting for me.

April is about to begin and there's still 43" of snow on the ground on average here. Yep, that's 110cm. Everywhere. More than twice the average at this time of the year.
