Looks like HP has stuck their logo on these IPS monitors.

My wife calls my Xb a 'chick magnet' and on occasion has gotten rather upset at all the attention it gets. :-D It must have something to do with looking like a Toaster or a Rubic's Cube (the Element)

What is 'Startpins' anyway?

Maybe my timing is off, but I thought Windows 7 and XP came out before the Video-on-CPU chips. Or maybe it's just that Intel and Microsoft have been in bed with each other for so long, that Intel screwed with the video. Which wouldn't surprise me at all.

Intels new i5s are not perfect either. We have yet to find a 'nix operating system that will run properly on them. We have to install a video card. But Windows 7 (circa 2009 ) runs fine. But you have to ask, is that an Intel problem or a 'nix community problem.

Tech Report hasn't figured out why the Dell is twice the price.

Err, don't all computer parts come from China?

From my experiance, I would raise 5 boys to one girl. ( I have one of each)

That's Great! :-D

True, I have not had the best of luck with Supermicro motherboards. Maybe their high end stuff is better. But i agree with Merc. You can't go wrong with Intel. What are you running now?

I watched "The Three Stooges" the other night. The actors really got their parts right. The guy playing Curly, was great. 90 minutes of slap stick humer can really take your mind off of things. [ I have been putting tanning lotion on my head for over 20 years]

Supposedly, none of the programs shutdown in Windows 8. So it would be snappier if the programs were running in the back round.

Have you looked at Storage Review?

When we built our present house, I stopped by just as two termites (carpenters) were starting to put up the walls. Their conversation went like this: Termite 1: What was that measurement? Termite 2: 84 and three little black marks. Termite 1: Is that long black marks or short black marks? The...

It says they were designed for 1-6 drive systems. I didn't see anywhere that you were limited to 6 drives.

What?? No Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Count Basie? No Big Band/Swing? All these bands had a lot of "Heavy Metal" :-D

At Amazon

When I installed Linux Mint, it needed to access the internet to download all sorts of files, including drivers. It's just as bad as Windows just for the fact that it must be connected to the internet. As I deal with computers that are not on the internet, any version of Linux becomes a real...

There's always E-Bay

Most operating systems allow you to shut of a hard drive after a pre-determined amount of time. Do you think this is safe for an SSD to turned off and on constantly. What do you gain by turning off a SSD?

Interesting!

Yep, just like Norton/Symantec.

Put a single layer of a baby diaper over the air intake.

My Samsung plasma has a setting in the menu that helps reduce burn in. It does put off some heat and the electric consumption is higher, but I enjoy the better picture. My son bought a 68" Samsung plasma with 3D. We watched the demo disk that came with the set in 3D. Awesome!!!

It's good thing your bathroom is fitted with TVs and such. :-D

Depending on what you are going to attach to the TV, you might consider a 720p unit. All hi-def TV ( cable, satellite, and OTA ) are 720p. Blue ray disk are 1080p. The store we were at (HH Gregg) had a wall of TVs with the local TV station showing on them. The 720p units were easy to pick out as...

Congratulations :-D

I had the same problem. I ended up checking the manufacturers specs for the over all width. I bought a Samsung plasma screen.

I'd vote for number 2.

I call my XB the 'Toaster'. My wife calls it a 'Chick Magnet' I guess 'Rubic Cubes' (Elements) could be classed the same.

HardOCP reviews usually call junk, junk. I don't remember the particulars any more, but HardOCP was threatened with legal action after a review called a piece of hardware junk. I have Tom's blocked from showing up in Google searches. Anand's reviews are okay if taken with a grain salt...about...

Partition Wizard will wipe a hard drive with zeros or 'ones' up to 7 times for DoD cleaning.

There are companies that will come to your office and shred a hard drive while you watch.

Yes it is a Sandforce problem. But unless you are encrypting the hard drive, why would there be a Problem?

The company I work for is just now converting to Windows 7.

It works. I am posting from Server 2012 using Google Chrome. Chrome looks a little odd in Windows 3.1 motif. :roll:

Found this site that has an alternative Chrome installer. Seems to have worked.

Same here. I blamed it on IPv6

If I add any more mass, I won't fit through the door. :-D

Hmmm...Can't seem to get Chrome browser installed on Server 2012.

I installed Server 2012 with the GUI. It is actually comical to use. The desktop is straight from Windows 3.1! MS has made it harder to use Server 2012 as a work station operating system. But I'm sure there will be work-around.

Microsoft may kill Start menu hacks for Windows 8

Quiet

Memorial Day is our plant shutdown. Disconnect the electric from the power company for 12 hours then pray everything comes back up. I was on the 3PM to whenever shift to restart things. It was a long night.

Agreed. You might try upgrading the Marvel drivers.

Buy an 8 port RAID card and set it up as JBOD. Run multiple instances of the test program.

At work we have a number of people that write custom software for our plant. This includes C++, C#, VB, FORTRAN, and OpenVMS. All of these people are left handed! Coincident??

60TB hard drives?!

Gantt chart...around here they are called 'can't' charts. For a while they were posted every where for even minor task. But I haven't seen one in the last 15 years.

Looks neat. I would have to get glasses a half inch thick or carry a magnifying glass around to use it. :-D
