This. One of our software vendors was facing a huge backlash for using Oracle, and has eaten high costs converting their product back to MSSQL. For reference, I can buy the entire MSSQL package and the backup program for the cost of one year's maintenance for the Oracle install that does the...

In pursuit of more low end in headphone use, I'm looking at the HE400i (possibly 560?). I have no experience with planar magnetic units, and understand that I'll also need an amp to power them? Pretty sure I'd benefit from closed-back units as well.

I'm still suggesting TrueCrypt to clients. Interesting security step one of them added was to hard mount the UPS so that the tower would have to lose power when stolen. Theoretically they could hang out in the office, but the alarm and guard would discourage that.

Oracle did it a long time ago. I'm sure MSSQL will be doing the same if they haven't already. As your product gets more capable (and therefore used in larger systems), you need a way to price descriminate and extract more from those customers who are getting more from your product. With modern...

I think commisioning such a thing at all is pretty wild and crazy. I have my pilot friend checking with the FAA for restrictions on either pointing it towards the sky or operating it from an aircraft.

Just took delivery of one of these 65" 4k Samsung units. I'll install it Monday night and have a review a bit later.

How lightfield cameras work.

I'm running about 30x 24" Ultrasharps, 2x 27", 2x 30", and 1x 32". Average age 3 years. No failures yet, but the 32" 4k isn't behaving as it should.

"Need" is never a requirement. I was actually surprised how intensive MadVR was; I can't run a 720p video while playing Fallout 4 @ 4k with everything maxed.

Thanks for the link to that thread, sounds like no upgrades yet and a sub-par panel. I'll have to pass.

Just ran into this 5 minutes ago. Confirmed with latest Firefox on Android.

What are you using and how are you judging the results? Did you identify something you didn't like and pursue a fix? Are you trying a bunch of stuff and seeing if you prefer something else? Working from settings listed by others?

I'm marking some of that up to early adopter stuff...that was pretty early in the whole 4k thing. I'd rather it be made by Dell, HP, Samsung, ASUS, or just about anyone else and would happily pay a premium. But I don't see them in that space.

Yup.

Pointing it towards the sky is actually something I'm considering for particular events, but that will involve permits and permission from the FAA along with coordination of local law enforcement. I just finished a weekend of parades where I had heavy construction equipment lit with tens of...

Tempting: http://amzn.com/B00RVGXZ08

Looks like I pulled the trigger on 4k just a bit early, my first 4k monitor (Dell UP3214Q) has a well documented issue with 4k@60 via DP1.2. My Acer B326HK units are working fine. Shopping for a replacement for the Dell. 4k IPS is critical, at least 32" (34"-36" ideal), at least 60Hz.

So. Questions? Comments? Anyone else interested?

Based on the discussion in the LED thread, I sent JTR a message. Here is how it has gone so far:

This. Even there she sleeps with the window open. At the moment there is several feet of snow on the ground there. Here it has gotten to the upper-30s (F) at night lately.

They've already ramped up their fulfillment staff (hired 500k additional temp workers), but buying has been below projections. This leads them to ship very quickly if a bit inefficiently.

These helped me considerably. My camera takes one SD and one CF and I splashed out on one very fast of each. If I manage to fill them I can go to the slower cards (unlikely, they are 128GB each).

My house is smallish and well insulated. However my wife and mother-in-law both have rather extreme preferences. My wife wants 73-75F at all times. Even a well insulated house can get costly managing that large a dT. Turning down the temp in the main room (which has a wall of french doors) would...

When I installed my home HVAC, I did so planning to upgrade to a zoned system at some point. The price would have been about $6k. Ecovent. Thoughts?

I can understand with the penguins, but you won't be driving your car there...

Yup. Exact same experience here.

I thought you lived in a warmer area? I don't own any gloves.

If you use a decent program to play videos (I like Media Player Classic, it is free and available on ninite.com), you can right-click on the video and choose "Properties". My phone and GoPro Hero 4 Black can both do 4k video, but most of my recent stuff is timelapses shot using the interval...

At least one of the posts on this issue I found had the author insisting that their videos would only be recognized as 4k if it was 4096x2160. Lots of mis-information out there I suspect.

Both of these are true. LEDs produce far less heat for an amount of light (more efficient). However, LEDs need to be kept way, way cooler than other kinds of lights. LEDs are happiest under 50 or 60C, whereas halogens can happily be hundreds of degrees.

I've sen other YouTube videos offer 4k@60, tempted to reach out and find how they did it.

Yup. 3840x2160 at 60FPS. In the past I've even tried higher resolutions (5472 x 3648 @ 120FPS) without luck. No idea what it cares about, and Googling hasn't given me anything useful.

I'd assume that that is your credit score. Even if you don't plan on financing the vehicle, many dealerships get payments for getting you to finance through the automaker. I was able to get another $1500 off my wife's car by financing it and then immediately cutting a check for the total amount.

That one, after being online for more than 12 hours, offered a 4k version. No idea how long before (if?) the 4k60 will show up.

Yup. Have you figured out the cost yet?

The workflow, mainly. Secondarily checking if I can get YouTube to recognize the file as 4k@60.

I was running that based on your recommendation a while ago. Re-installing now. Is it really that GPU and that little CPU intensive?

We're replacing his laptop and tablet with the Surface Book which runs Win10. Also, the Android app he was using required the game to be online all the time?

I'm handling some Christmas shopping for some clients. One of which is getting a top-end Surface Book. The #1 priority for them is the ability to play scrabble with the person next to them (passing the tablet back and forth) while not on the internet (on an airplane, for example). Who makes the...

I'm pretty sure there is, though they may not discuss it in the brochure. Even the Model S has a reduction gear.

Merc's suggestion was the first to come to mind, I hadn't thought of Coug's. The problem with that one is that it still puts some trust in the existing install. Keyloggers could cap your data for one. To steal from both, Maximum paranoia would be to have a bootable Linux install and your...

My car when it was stock seemed to be just more than strictly necessary (for short on-ramps, merging, etc). 3300Lbs/211HP = 15.6:1 Of course, gearing and transmission type matter as well.

Your experience just about echoes my own with my Forgestar F14s. Still haven't ordered the replacement (running the stock wheels for now).

The best visibility from the inside I've ever seen was a McLaren 650S. You sit pretty far forward and having the engine behind you means the hood can fall away very quickly.

I don't have a photo because I don't know exactly what I want. The wires themselves are pretty standard; think Ethernet only 6-conductor and slightly bigger gauge. Each wire has a red, green, brown, white, blue, and black conductor. All I need to do is splice all the wires of the same color...

My Google-fu is failing me again. It is hard to shop for a product if you don't know the name. The system I'm working with has a 6-conductor low-voltage command bus that can be simply spliced together as needed. I have a couple dozen of these wires terminating at the main computer. Currently...

I've just made it very hard to get a hold of me. My mail is sorted and only bills make it to my desk. I have a work phone number, but the receptionist screens all calls and uses her discretion to dump most to a voicemail that I never check. My cell phone only rings if the caller is in my...

My lawnmower does an incredible job; also handles the shrubs. His name is Jose.

I've gone intermittent temporarily (Fallout 4). Back full-time soon.
