Justin Thimberlake. Also, it may be temper-related, but one of the first thing I check with a car is how well it fares in collision tests and the S4, while not bad, isn't particularly good either. In the same price range, the BMW 5 series is better. You can see the money as a payback for the...

I still believe cartoons are for kids and I wouldn't buy an Audi S4 even if I had the money to, but I'm glad you maintain a forum where I can write it :-P

Broken phone Broken door frame Blurry, but taken with my dumb phone. Now you know why I don't post in the digital photography thread.

Those were two separate events. My fist met the phone while my foot met the door. I received a reply from Hitachi : I guess I'll have to postpone any strangulation plans of Hitachi employee for now.

The next chapter is that I have a new phone now. The former one didn't make it. Replacing the door from my computer room will be more complicated as I broke the door frame too.

I saw this on betanews : Nitro PDF Reader. It let you see and create/modify PDF for free. Available in 64-bit and retarded 32-bit versions.

I sent their support an e-mail explaining my disappointment and omitting the strangulation and beheading part. I'll see what their reply will be.

I sent a DOA Hitachi 7K1000.D 1TB in RMA. The process was easy and they quickly shipped me back a replacement drive. I received it last week, but I put it aside since I didn't need it immediately. Today was the day I opened the bag. The drive felt heavier than I remembered the...

I can perfectly imagine either Bozo or Flagreen playing at WoW. Nothing surprising there.

I'd like to find a Zuma-like free game for a customer. Is there any, except for the online-only versions? Someone told me there's another version with a bug instead of a toad, but it's very similar. The customer likes stupid and simple computer games. I've seen this one on several computers...

"Latest technology+server" and "cheap" is an oxymoron. Those terms do not belong in the same sentence, unless you put "not" in front of "cheap". I've found you a modern server motherboard and a 20W Xeon CPU in a previous post of this thread, but cheap they aren't. Cheap and latest tech is...

60Mph at night on a mecanical bike during a windstorm : you're tired of living? What's next, moonwalking on the edge of a skyscrapper's roof during a thunderstorm?

Cooking blueberry pancakes is harder than I thought. Especially if you use frozen blueberries.

Also, my boss doesn't care how I dress on the job.

I split them like Moïse did.

End up all speculation. The Giants' running back could have walked to the end zone and no Patriots would have touched him. It was the only way the Pats could win the game. Otherwise, the Giants could have use another play to run down the clock and make a field goal. That would have given...

Oh well, I tried. Don't blame me if you end up with some money on the side that you don't know what to do with.

The Giants didn't win the Superbowl ; the Patriots lost it. Wes Welker needs to grow up two or three inches. He had the win in his hands and dropped it. Just like the Raven's receiver did in the end zone versus the Patriots two weeks ago. A disappointing year it was.

Jeans are the only pants I wear, Summer like Winter. I've never wear long underwear, but I thought some folks in Santilli's generation use them as indoor fashion wear :P

...because their former CEO killed himself in a small plane crash. Steve Appleton was only 51 years-old. Company statement Time must have sent him too much negative thoughts due to the Crucial firmware fiasco.

Don't listen to him Greg. He doesn't know you, but I do. Now here's what you want us to tell you : Why waste an enclosure capable of hosting an EATX motherboard by not putting an EATX motherboard into it? Why not opt for the Asus Z8PE-D12X? You have the two gigabit network cards you want...

I configured a Hamachi network on a test Windows 7 system for Time to play with from Australia and he found the speed to be quite decent (as long as I wasn't heavily using my network for something else). He also let me connect via RDP thru Hamachi on a system he manages and I can confirm that...

Dans Shearer had his best month of the last two years. Like someone eating All-Brans, he's a model of regularity.

Now they are shipping 7200rpm 4TB drives too. Source 5x 800GB platters

I've stopped listening to the NIN album about in the middle. Not that it was bad, but, maybe because I've watched the entire Fringe TV shows lately, I feared there were subliminal messages hidden in the songs. With my permanent state of mind, I really wouldn't need much subliminal messaging...

During the Tour de France coverage, the analysts tell that a cyclist "explodes" when he lose pace after an effort that was too great for him. That's probably what happened to you.

Maybe in three or four years, LED bulbs will become a serious alternative, but now at 40$ for a 60W-equivalent replacement, no thanks.

Wow, Quake music for free. Thanks.

But his car is not any car ; it's a Chevrolet ;-)

JonnyGURU review of the Corsair CX430 V2. Overall, it's positive.

Happy 69th anniversary :cheers:

I haven't used them and at 320$ each, I'm not about to either. When their price will drop below 200$, then we'll see.

I've used this unit a few times and so far, so good. I can usually get them for 40$. Their are quiet and seem to be well built. I can sometimes get the Antec HCG-400 for the same price and the latter is my prefered unit, but the Corsair CX430 V2 at 17$ is hard to pass on.

So worst case : 200$ for the software hosting plan with 10GB/month bandwidth and 250MB of storage Dreamhost VPS plan at 15$/month seems to cover all the hosting needs. Thanks.

Pretty much every item I own that weights less a hundred pounds is bound to become a mobile device eventually.

My young cousin (I could very well be his uncle) studied computer sciences and he has ok programming skills. He also is a gaming addict and he wants to start a forum where he and his kiddo friends can brag about how much l33t they are (I know even know what freaking game they're playing)...

I lost an hour of my live this morning trying to figure out why remote desktop didn't work before realizing that I forgot to let RDP pass thru the firewall of the targeted system. There are days like this... I can also confirm that RDP Patcher works like a charm...once the firewall is...

I still haven't had the chance to compare the three antennas PCI card with the EnGenius external USB device. My supplier has changed its transport company and deliveries have gone to shit since. I've been waiting since Tuesday for the stupid card. At least the customer understands.

What motherboard model(s) are so unreliable? Dual-socket motherboards should focus primarily on reliability. This is odd. Maybe you should switch to Intel's side. An Asus Z8NA-D6 with two Xeon E5645 or E5649 isn't much more expensive than a dual-Opteron setup. It's probably faster too.

One with a short memory would forget that PC sales have been tremendously affected by the flooding in Thailand and inflated hard drives prices.

Unless the computer without internet access is quite powerful, I don't think it's worth the trouble. If it's a 4P 12-core Opteron system though...

...you often are. ;) I'm sure that TP-Link wireless USB device is better than average, but in the specifications, the gain is said to be 3dB. An average antenna is only 2dB, but the Alfa wireless USB device had a 5dB antenna, so there's a good chance the TP-Link you've linked would come up short.

325$?? I'm looking for a sub-100$ solution. Thanks, but I'll try something else instead.

Good for you. If it can help you to contribute more, then I'm all for it. Something strange happened a few minutes ago : I've received a big unit. I'm no longer supposed to receive big units, but I did. I certainly won't complain, but I'm surprised.

I've found this. It should be about as good as the Alfa device. I'll compare both the EnGenius and the internal TP-Link with three high gain antennas and I'll let you guys know.

I think I can. That's a good idea. The range is over 300ft and both are indoor on the opposite (farther) wall of their respective buildings. At least those (farm) buildings aren't made of concrete. The Alfa USB wireless network device allowed a 3-4bars/5 and it's rated at 5dB gain, so it can...

Do you think a TP-Link TL-WN951N with 3x TL-ANT2408CL or even TL-ANT2408C antennas would match the range of an external USB wireless device like an Alfa AWUS036NH? The range of the latter if rather impressive, but I can't get it locally.

No idea Bozo. I don't see an option to establish a connection only when a unit is finished in the V7 beta client. BTW, we are, since yesterday, back to the 140th place overall (team ranking). We haven't been that high since three years ago.

Simpler solution :
