I was about to post that for a man supposed to (even temporarily) give up, you're posting decent numbers. For the nine last months of the year, you've been the top producer overall, barely edging Mark and me (although on the entire year, I woop all your asses ;) ). See you back in April.

Cyclone Thane hit India not too far from where Mubs lives. He has not posted since Christmas so there's no way to know if he's alright or not. I haven't read much about Thane, but it doesn't seem to be a major cyclone. Mubs will probably only have to replace his hair after that small wind blow.

I've never had to replace the clutch of my near 8-years-old car and I drive like a madman (wonder why). I drove 223000Km with it so far. You must beat your car beyond reason to have to replace it at only 80K miles.

If I ever go to California, I'll try to sneak behind you and get close to you ear, whispering "25F" to spook you.

Search for "Concurrent RDP Patcher" on Google to enable RDP on Windows 7 Home Premium. That way you can connect remotely to the system with something like LogMeIn, even if there's no one on the other computer or without disturbing the other user and logging in another session than his own.

Wow, you really stayed awake all night long watching the temperature drop? Talk about an obsession. The lowest temperature I've experience from memory was in 1993 or 1994, -37C or 38C (~-35F), -53C (~-64F) with windchill. I was out working outside for several hours in the late night/early...

Keep trying, you won't impress me with your "cold" temperature readings. It's 12F here right now. Amateurs.

Fill the tray with epoxy and close it. No matter how much you zing with the button, it won't open for sure. Use an external slim USB drive on those rare instances when it's needed.

I thought Server 2008 = Vista and 2008 R2 = Win 7. I could be wrong, never Googled it.

Damn, you really like to talk thru your ass sometimes.

If Windows Update asked to install the SP2, it's because you've installed Windows Server 2008, not Windows Server 2008 R2. If you tell me you've installed a SP2 for Windows Server 2008 R2, I want a printscreen for proof.

There's only the SP1 for Server 2008 R2, AFAIK. The SP2 is for Windows Server 2008 (not R2).

http://www.filehippo.com/download_google_chrome/ <- version 17.0.963 beta right there. Version 16.0.912.63 m is the official release. That's what I downloaded yesterday directly from their site.

Unless it changed today, Chrome is officially at version 16. Of course, it's possible to download the beta version of v.17 as well.

A few critics regarding the Source 210 Elite : Two holes where the motherboard standoffs go were very hard to screw. I had to take a long nose to tighten them. The internal fan connectors should be small PWM 4-pin types. Instead, they are 3-pin type and take their power from a 4-pin molex...

Yep, it was. BTW, regarding the javascript benchmark from SunSpider, I fell on my ass. I ran it to compare all the major players and on my computer (Core i7 2600K/Win7 Pro 64b), I got the following ranking : Google Chrome 16 : ~238ms Opera 11.60 : ~224ms Mozilla Firefox 9 and SeaMonkey 2.6 ...

Just visit www.mozilla.com and grab it. Also, Mozilla finally renewed their agreement with Google, so they might not go bankrupt too soon. Strangely, version 2.6 of SeaMonkey is not yet available on their site, but it is on FileHippo.com.

I've downloaded it but I have yet to try it. Good to know it works.

Three done, four to go. Delivery trucks are always late this time of the year.

I know and I wasn't sure if you'd be pissed or not. I don't know where's the reference from. I obviously don't have the same taste as Merc for movies so it's very probable I haven't seen the movie or TV show where that's coming from. SSDdrueding : If I ever go to California, you'll be my...

The CIA never sent you there?

Wrong, that's a trap she puts for you. See it as like when she ask you if you think she gained weight. Agreeing will only put you in trouble no matter what or how you phrase it.

While telling someone in his thirties or less to shut his whore mouth can be viewed as humourous, saying it to someone in his fifties might not be received as well. Please be careful who you target with those expressions.

Done. E-mail sent with the final translation file.

Only needed two :(

North Korea was part of the "axis of evil" that your former chimp president cited. So even if you have TVs, I guess that you never watch the news.

Well if they are a gift from your girlfriend and they are that expensive, then forget being objective about them. Even if it wasn't true, put it thru your thick skull that they are the very best thing you've ever listen to and don't ever word a critic about them. Otherwise, you'll be in big...

In fact, P5_133XL still is, but I'm trying to stay within a reasonnable distance in case he has a weak moment.

Died from a heart attack if what I read is correct. I won't link the article where I saw this because it's in my weird foreign language, but I'm sure you can find the news yourself. He was 69 years old. One of his sons, the youngest I think, is supposed to replace him. I don't know how it...

Yeah, but when you can't even win at home against the Seahawks, something's deeply wrong with your team. It wasn't even close in the second half. Hannie is definetly not the solution for the Bears (or anyone else IMO). I wouldn't do worse myself. I'm sure I can throw interceptions too...

Oh and ask Merc how much it would cost him to put all his video collection on SSD.

Try to assemble a decent computer with reasonnable storage capacity for 500$ and you'll see mecanical hard drives still are relevant. And no, 90GB isn't enough for a common user. Not to his eyes, at least, when the store next door proposes 500GB or 1TB at the same price.

Thanks

You think Greg has a temp-controlled soldering iron and knows how to work surface-mount parts?

WTF! What's going on this week? At halftime, Kansa City is leading Green Bay, Caroline is humiliating Houston, ditto for Washington over the Giants (that makes me happy : I despise Eli Manning) and St-Louis (yes, the RAMS!!!) are leading against Cincinnati. Like I wrote : WTF?

I've got one for a customer build and for the money, it's impressive. I paid it 53$ (it was on sale by 10$), a price comparable to Antec's One/Two/Three Hundred enclosures, but it feels a class higher. The chassis is much sturdier than the Antec trio. Better than something like a Thermaltake...

Shit eaters! How about developping drives that last a reasonnable amout of time, ass holes. 1 year warranty for a hard drive is not a joke, it's an insult! I'm not happy of Western Digital's decision, but Seagate's move is even worse. No more fishy drives in my computers or those of my...

Still, their cloud is made of very powerful processors. If you take the 36657004 points they achieve during their first day and divide it by 690, you get 53126 points per client. Per day. That handily beats my o'ced Core i7 2600K by quite a margin.

690 active clients within the last 7 days. No wonder it achieves those results. For comparison, our entire team had 50 active clients during the same period. And you were right about the guys behind it. Their team's web site points to www.hpcloud.net (link doesn't lead anywhere for now).

Thanks CityK. I didn't know that.

It's 22F here. What are you complaining about? Don't even try, I'll always beat you at this game. Adcadet will often have colder temperature outside in Minnesota than I have here, but it is generally dryer there than it is here.

Ditto. Halfway into his thirties IIRC.

He started at 3am Friday. 36 million points on his first day. Single user. Will overtake us in three days at this beat. Even Awachs doesn't equal him (Awachs is the most productive user in the history of Folding@home). If I ever win at the lottery, that guy will be me.

We are SO interested in knowing what weather it is in the Bay Area. You should start hourly updates.

I don't know if it'll keep up, but I know it certainly keeps me up. With the systems assembly and service calls pilling up, I don't think I've slept 10 hours total during the last three days. Tonight, fuck off, my only meeting is with my bed.

Which won't install on either a Samsung or an Intel drive if there are no data drive from those companies. It will be fine if the data drive is from either company though.

You could also PM Paugie for a Filipino version.

Macrium Reflect has a disk cloning feature too.

Sold! So now I'm at 7 computers sold in three days. One is done and ready to deliver. I'll finish another one before going to bed tonight. I still have 3750$ of parts to purchase in order to fulfill my engagements. It's going to be tricky, but it should be feasible. Regarding the credit...
