That's uncalled for. Please be nice with Chewy. It would be a great lost for us if someone would piss him off over some trivial technical debate. Behave Aussies, behave. No matter if the process was rigourous or (apparently) not, pointing the issue of data lost in case of sudden power-loss...

We'll be close, but it doesn't look like we'll be able to overtake NCSU Wolfpack before the end of the year (the end of the year here, on the East Coast, at least). We'll end 2013 at our highest ranking since about 2005-2006. We've been 117th overall earlier this year too, before we lost 6...

He wrote that he used the drive under a Linux distribution of some sort. That was a very interesting read. Thanks for sharing. I'd really like to know if the drives using the LAMB controller (Seagate 600 series and Corsair Neutron GTX) would show the same data corruption as other non-Intel...

So since yesterday's afternoon, I have a farm composed of 10 18-virtual-cores VM working full-time for the FAH project. I expect to average ~1.4 million ppd. That's good. However, given the insane hardware I've (temporarily) put to use, I have a hard time figuring out what a member like Jim...

You better check your wallet to be sure that you've not been part of the Christmas Day Hack.

I'm drinking my coffee, half-awake on the morning of the 24th when I read this. Is it Christmas already down under?

Thanks, but you all know it's not because of my own machines. Let's just say that I'm doing this while performing tests on the new servers setup (replication, remote access and monitoring, backup recovery, making sure the room's cooling system can keep up, etc). Since so far, I'm the only one...

That is what I would do. I did this more than a decade ago when I was at ease financially. I received something nice (from work), but decided to give it to some homeless guy in the Montréal's metro.

The forum search forever whenever I try to reply to a thread. This is not isolated to a single thread. The first one I've tried to reply was P5-133XL's church thread.

The site wasn't accessible this morning. All I got was a VBulletin error message. Was it the VBulletin upgrade happening?

I've used those too, but not on a regular basis (I hated them).

It is 36°C colder here than at your place. I could use a little more global warming.

The local stores around your place probably puff the prices when they see you coming because they know that you're made of money.

Windows 98, SE or not, cannot be put on a system with internet access. It is too vulnerable. Well, you could, but unless you want to end up with a zombie system controlled by a botnet, you won't do it.Also, an SSD operates best in native SATA mode. Using it on a compatible-IDE-mode SATA...

He probably meant in "The Two Towers". I haven't read the books. I didn't watch the two Hobbit movies.

Maybe if I find a support forum about litecoin mining, I'll give it another try. Hashfaster's support is through IRC or chat and I don't do those. Call me a dinosaur, but I prefer forum to anything else. I'll wait some time before I retry, if I retry. I have an horrible temper and where...

Well, fuck it. This whole thing has been a gigantic waste of time for me. I'm going back to running the FAH client on both. My cards might not be ok for mining LTC, but they are great at computing FAH WU. I hope this project will work out better for you. Good luck.

Here's the screenshot from my Radeon HD 7870 system : I seem to receive a lot more work to compute from this one. However, according to Hashfaster's website, it only does between 28KH/s and 45KH/s (when I check the stats in my workers' list). I don't get it. It really is always hard to make...

My shares : 846/3 (valid/invalid) My total KH/s for all my workers : 28 I expected to be closer to 970KH/s for all my workers.

That's why corporate monopoly isn't such a great thing. 113K$ to get standard web access is simply revolting. Some asshole would tell me that, he would be feeding my garden next summer. Please tell me it's at least the girl from Wyoming and not someone in Chicago's suburbs?

Good for you. Meanwhile, I have some results for my effort. I made 16¢ since I've started some 16 hours ago. Is it possible that they simply don't send me something to compute? If it doesn't improve, I'm gonna stop this soon because it seems like a waste of ressources for me. I'm happy...

Are you sure you're not a decade too late? Getting a 386-40 in 1988 is plausible, but by 1998, both the 386 and Windows 3.1. were seriously obsolete. Then you wrote that you got a Pentium 100MHz a few years later. Makes no sense. A Pentium 100MHz would have a been a great coffee table by...

Yes, it is the only machine with that worker's name. I'll let it go for the night and I'll recheck tomorrow. If there's no apparent improvement in the stats, I'll delete the worker and make another one.

cgminer --scrypt -u CougTek.xxxxx -p xxxxxx -o stratum+tcp://stratum.hashfaster.com:3333 -I 19 -g 1 -w 256 --gpu-powertune 20

Here's what my miner looks like. I don't think it does any actual work. I'm not sure.

I don't know why, but the worker on my Radeon HD 7950 system is listed as being down on hashfaster.com, despite the fact that the program appears to be working fine and producing ~650KH/s.

Litecoin mining is pushing my graphic cards harder than running the FAH client. My systems need almost 50W more each now than they used too.

So it's done ; I'm in too. I've configured both my Radeon HD 7870 and my Radeon HD 7950 to mining Litecoins. The 7870 did ~325KH/s while the 7950 reached ~620KH/s when I checked a minute or two after I've configured them. I could add both my GeForce GTX 580 too, but at ~250KH/s each, I'm not...

I don't remember what was the computer model, but it was something I played the original King's Quest 1 on it, as well as a Sinbad game and a maze game with some kind of alien in it. I haven't had a computer until late in my life. The first model I can accurately describe is a 486 SX25 with...

According to ASRock's certified RAM list, the highest capacity Kingston RAM that's certified is the KVR16N11H/8 (8GB module). It is odd that despite claiming to support up to 64GB overall, there is no certified 16GB module.

Buck is German.

At 10:30am this morning, it is -23°C outside here. It's not even Winter yet. We've had a few nights when the temperature dropped below -20°C in late November, but so late in the morning, that's a first this year. We've had snow on the ground for about a month and a half now. One month...

I can assure you that your 8086 Compaq didn't have 512MB of RAM and that 5¼ floppies never reached 180MB of space. KB was the unit back then. The 45MB hard drive is plausible though.

It is. I forgot about it, but I always setup it up like this because I usually only connect to my servers through one of my two Windows 8.1 machines. Thanks for reminding me this detail. I'll check FreeRDP. I suppose KRDP is part of KDE, but I use LXDE on that oldie.

I've tried this on Fedora 19 32bit on an 8-years-old laptop. I used Remmina with the RDP plugin. I've been able to launch a session on the server, but it freezes every time after less than a second. I've also tried to launch rdesktop from the terminal, but it doesn't seem to be installed in...

And besides, we're only talking about 2 grands. Pfff! Like nothing. Just install Hyper-V server. Give the server a name and an IP address. Then setup all the rest on another computer through µsoft Remote Server Administration Tools and with the Hyper-V manager that is installable for free...

Seems better, but 119$, ouch.

Just to be sure that I understand well, you've ordered both the dual LGA2011 server AND the 2100$ octo-core Atom server?

You can tell your dad that books and internet articles are written by real people too, just like the posts on our website.

There's no RAMsink in that Kraken cooler kit. I'd be worried about the lifespan of the graphic card's BGA RAM in such a setup.

Did any of you cared to read the very first post of that thread?

Oops, I said I wouldn't post any other pictures for a while. I guess I'm the new Santilli.

From what I understand, a two antennas kit costs ~3800$CDN and I only need CATe cables to plug into those. and that's it. See the picture : I'll need a router on the other side, but that would be the case for any connection type. Even with the installation (which I might do myself) and the...

In a word : no. P5-133XL wrote why before he edited his post. IMO, if you run the client on that machine, it should only be the GPU client and only when the machine is not busy while you're working on it. Set the bar at "medium". That way, it won't slow down the user interface when you'll...

From the link : Here, we have a six month Winter. I need something reliable, especially when the meteo is bad because that'S when a blackout is most likely to occur. A powerful antenna like the Ubiquity airFiber should allow communication in anything less than an hurricane. FSO, much less...

Maybe Grandpa finally retired?

http://www.howsecureismypassword.net/ Can be quite useful. I make sure my passwords take at least 4 million years for a typical PC to crack. Of course, it wouldn't take 4 million years because there will be significant advancements, but still. I aim high. Of course, I don't type my actual...

The GeForce GT 610 isn't a great card to run the client on it either. Most of those have a puny heatsink not very effective to keep the card cool if you push it too hard for a lenghty amount of time.

If I can have AirFiber, I want AirFiber. No interference from other devices for quite a while too, since it uses a seldom used band range. Thanks for the reply and endorsement.

http://www.ubnt.com/airfiber#airFiberHardware Anyone here have tried or heard about it? A pair of antennas would cost us less than 3800$CDN and I'm seriously considering it to provide network access to one of our sites very nearby. The airFiber has a 13Km range. This site is not even 1Km...
