Am I the only one who didn't notice that Ms has posted the SP3 for Office 2007 3 days ago?

The rates in Canada would certainly increase if I would visit Canada. But I have no plan to go to Canada any time soon. It's a nice country, but it's full of Canadians. BTW, I don't hate the CityK variety (nice guy, nothing against him). It's the John Baird kind, very common in the West...

F-word, it's back ordered everywhere.

The CL-P0303 is supposedly 45$, not 55$. In fact it's less than 40$ North of the border. The only way it's 55$ is if you order it alone and you include shipping, otherwise, shipping should be less than 10$. I can't believe none of your local suppliers sells it. And the goal should be to put...

Sandforce is a good business to buy. They have significant volume sales in certain areas of the West Coast.

7-Volting a 7Krpm fan will give you a ~4Krpm fan. Still quite noisy.

Next time you need a snack, please don't eat your post.

Fine, grosse colère bébé => Bien, big anger baby. He probably meant "big angry baby", which would be "gros bébé fâché". The effort was there.

So you look just as big as you did when you weighted 130lbs more, but now you're made of money?

A link to an article with more information would have been much appreciated.

Yeah but you know what's funny? It's not your money! So just propose and enjoy the show. Pretty much like we do when Greg is building a new system (or you).

You have TD banks in the States? I thought the Canadian banks were Canadian-only. Do you have others, like the BMO, BNS, CIBC or the RBC?

One of my suppliers told me today that 500GB hard drives are now selling at 85$. This is the apocalypse.

Dead drives exhibiting the click-of-death syndrome are unrecoverable by common means. You'll need to deal with professional recovery services. That means a company that disassembles your hard drive in a clean room. Here, they charges between one and two thousand per drive and the result isn't...

Samsung printers are aweful. I wouldn't touch them with a ten feet pole. I'd use a sledgehammer instead.

Bozo had more than 21000 points today. All that without big units. Bozo, the little clown that could. :clown:

We could be worst : we could be Colts fans. The massacre they are suffering this evening is particularly delightful since they are those who beat the Bears in their last Superbowl appearance. Well, them and the double-agent that Rex Grossman was.

Make that 3 or 4 140mm fans instead of the 180mm. 180mm fans wouldn't fit inside a 4U chassis. Still, I'm sure a few 140mm fans would be quite enough for almost any configuration.

This chassis did not exist when the guy from your link built his server, but if I had to do something similar today, I would be more interested in this SuperMicro chassis. Smaller (4U), more power efficient (80Plus Gold power supply) and probably more future-proof since enterprise hard drives...

http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/4043/1014chenbrorm91250backl.jpg 8x 5700rpm 80mm fans (52.5dB each) and 2x 3700rpm 120mm fans (55dB each). Not only can't you sleep in the same room as this box, you can't even sleep in the same house. Not for SOHO customers.

He's the definition of a "loose canon". He also keeps the ball for too long way too often. It's no coincidence he's among the most sacked quarterback in the league.

The Bears won, but damn they like to complicate their lives sometimes. That game was in their pocket and they almost found a way to lose it. I miss the days when Singletary, Refrigerator Perry and Walter Payton were on the team...

I read in the news that the authorities don't expect the water to come down for about a month. I only have two 500GB and two 2TB drives in stock. I won't hold a month with only that.

3x 6pins PCI-E connectors and 2x 8pins PCI-E connectors just for the motherboard? What kind of power supply will have enough 6 and 8 pins connectors to power up additional graphic cards for the 7 empty PCI-E 8x/16x slots?

Physically, I'm fine.

Wouldn't it have been simpler to just get something like this or this? They certainly provide better audio than whatever's been integrated in the laptop.

I've never put more than two on the same bike. Placing the additional ones too high could certainly hurt the knees.

I put a passively cooled card in my main computer a few days ago and since there's not much ventilation in the lower part of that enclosure, I wanted to be sure it did not overheat.

Québécois is for men. Québécoise is for women. I have no plan for a sex change.

The software caused a 12.5 hours lost of work and that forced me to kick the computer. If I had kept it inside, I might have developped cancer. And Dan Shearer is Mark's best buddy. They go on camping and do other Oregon things together every week-end. With over one million points and 3000...

Sometimes, I believe the Pande Lab hired the bunch of morons who worked on Vista and were subsequently fired from Microsoft to create and maintain their folding@home client. This evening, I wanted to install a bunch of updates on my Linux box, so I stopped the FAH client cleanly, by...

Have you opened the power supply to check its capacitors?

Scythe Big Shuriken and Prolimatech Samuel 17 with a low profile Scythe 1600rpm 120mm fan both fit inside a 2U chassis. With the same fan, the Big Shuriken is slightly better than the Prolimatech, but you can fit a full size, 25mm thick fan on the Prolimatech and it will beat the Big Shuriken...

Cooling silently a CPU with a TDP of 130W is certainly hard in a 2U chassis. But a model with a TDP of 95W or lower should be feasible. 4x 80mm 1500rpm Nexus fans should be able to achieve that. Not enough for an i7 975, but probably ok for a SandyBridge or anything on an LGA1156.

I was the last person to pay the regular price on a 500GB hard drive at one of my suppliers and I'll probably be one of the last in Montréal's area to get two Hitachi 2TB 7K3000 at the regular price tomorrow. 100$ each. I bet they'll climb to 130-140$ next week, if they are available at all.

The thumbs or not on the same side. Otherwise, they are pretty much the same.

Hard drive prices have exploded since yesterday at my suppliers. 40-50% increase on several models. Many models unavailable.

Version 1.7.0.1 has been released. Is it ready for primetime this time?

The next bastard who tells me that life is great will be punched in the face.

I probably asked about it before, but since I apparently have an Alzheimer moment, I'll ask again : what program do you use to follow the temperature of your graphic card? I use MSI Afterburner, but I'm sure there are several others, some that might be better.

I don't think JTR will be able to provide fast replacement warranty or pothole-proof lighting.

And it was. The computer is now very quiet, almost silent. I'll also replace the boot hard drive since the 80GB replacement has already been ordered.

Yes. It's starting to register ;)

And I don't think, in fact I'm pretty sure, that mixing the card models would pose any problem for the GPU folding client. As long as you don't operate them in SLI, things should be fine.

You certainly don't have to plug monitors to them. Beware of the GeForce 400 series. Many people, including Mark, have had noise issues with them while running the GPU folding client. Some of them are buzzing (think about a coil noise from a defective PSU). I don't think the 500 series have...

I have two computers, each one with a Core i7 2600 (one is a 2600K). The Core i7 2600 has eight cores (four core plus hyperthreading). In order to receive a big unit, you need to have eight cores or more. If I start GPU folding, I'll no longer have eight free cores, but seven (or six...

You could not put 7 of them on your precious motherboard because, if you look closely, you'll see that the heatsink is a bit wider than what's needed for a single slot cooler. So that's one card every two slots. And my earnings are probably only a sixth of yours, so a 649$ for me, really? I...

Just to clarfy what I wrote above : From the first article Newtun linked, although I read it elsewhere before.

Seagate is also supposed to be severely affected by the flooding. People will just wait and pay more for their hard drives. I don't think I'll be able to get my single-platter 1TB Hibachi drive. Although I arrassed my supplier all day long, he didn't come back to me with a price. I think...
