I thought only POMs play crickey.

Just did it : 199 seconds. Unfortunately, I only scored 600 points so it doesn't appear in my best scores. I don't know how the scoring system works.

Some weirdly colored dirt called "humus" and other "healthy" stuff.

Of course there is. Noctua NH-U9DX and NH-U12DX. They both won't fit inside a 2U chassis, but they can silently cool an LGA771 CPU otherwise.

I just want to share that my brother has started a weight-losing program two months ago and that he's already lost 20lbs. I'm very proud of him. He wasn't as obese as Merc was a few years ago and he doesn't plan on losing as much weight as our former substantial man did, but nonetheless, it's...

That's a new one for me. Stick it where the Sun doesn't shine. Original.

Sometimes Greg, when I read what you do and I try to understand your motives, I just :

With SSDdrueding resuming his effort to the cause, we will be almighty again! Phear us!

HGST launched a 4TB desktop drive today. More practical and versatile than Seagate's external drive IMO. Almost certainly more reliable too.

There seems to be a short supply of big units these days. I received a 6977 unit after my big unit on my best computer. This is the second time it's happened in a one week period.

The reliability of Seagate's 2TB drives is poor, their 3TB drives are dreadful so their 4TB must be simply aweful. Seems like a safe way to lose a lot of data.

That's how it is intended to be used, with the 2.5" drive mounted on the inside. A case that can harbour 6 3TB 3.5" drives plus 6 1TB 2.5" drives isn't too bad IMO. It might not be like a Norco with 24 bays, but it's better than most enclosures of comparable size.

Will the replacement system be the first SandyBridge of the house?

Normally, it's either the PSU or the motherboard. I've seen dead Seagate drives to prevent computers from booting. It's almost never the CPU and while bad RAM causing bit errors is frequent, dead RAM preventing a system to boot is uncommon.

If it's not broken, don't try to fix it.

You drop piranhas in the pond and you follow the bubbles.

That's the image (from Lian Li's site) that made me write the comment regarding the USB 3 port. Look at the blue internal USB port close to the front panel's interior :

Probably that HDMI 1.3 can't while HDMI 1.4 can. The 1.4 standard has a substantially higher bandwidth than the previous norm.

Seems like a good way to win a Darwin award.

The closest Ubiquiti reseller is 40Km away and it doesn'll sell the Router Station Pro. I've not been able to find an enclosure for it (only enclosures to put it outside on a pole) and the fact that it doesn't take Mini-PCI-E cards is a downer. Decent MiniPCI wireless cards are hard to find.

It supports very large motherboards like the Gigabyte oversized board SSDdrueding wanted to use. The CPU cooler height must be limited though. And the front USB connector has to be plug uinto one of the rear ports :tdown: But overall, it's an interesting take on computer case design.

I ended up ordering the Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H. It has about the fastest chip among current generation routers and it comes with DD-WRT pre-installed. I don't believe it will be any more (or less) reliable than any of the other routers on the market, be it the pro version like the above...

Wow, I've read some reviews on Newegg about those two and it doesn't look good. Even if customers' reviews have to be taken lightly due to often poor technical skills of the reviewers, there's so many negative reviews that it is worrying.

I meant something like this. It has a lifetime warranty. Must be reliable, don't you think? Cost ~200$ though. There's also this one that looks interesting, but it cost even more. It seems to have less features too. I just need a reliable router for one business customer. No VPN needed...

Coug>online calculator The Seasonic is supposed to be much more expensive than the Antec, but it's also much better in every other way. I would be willing to pay twice as much for it over the Antec. If I had that money, of course.

Temporarily.

You'll probably have to go on without me for a while. I won't have internet access for some time.

My BMI is ~26, so I guess I'm anormal (in yet another way). My waste, excuse me, my waist is 33", so I don't feel I'm overweighted. BMI is not everything.

Did you shrink? I thought you were 5'10" or 5'11" not so long ago? And Merc below 200lbs, that's a novelty. How old were you last time it happened? Less than 20 I guess.

197lbs for 6'3", you must fit in size 34 pants. You're not overweighted at all.

I only waist my time during lunch.

He's been thirty for a year already? Oh, well happy birthday then. Random fact of the day : It is quite inconvenient to use a mouse when the outside casing exploded and the only part of the mouse left is the circuit board and the USB wire to connect it to the computer.

Nevermind my comment about the GigaByte versus Asus board. I confused the GigaByte for a lower-end model.

The Asus is a much nicer board. While you don't need it with your case, it has an internal USB 3.0 20 pins connector, which is still relatively rare. It has more fan connectors and more complete backplate I/O ports. It's certainly quite a bit more expensive too, however. See that review...

If I was paying a 30% premium on all hardware, I would be over-analysing too.

You didn't recommend a Sony TV to Merc? Tell me that you didn't recommend a Sony TV to Merc.

The last Matrox card I've played with was a Triple-Head-to-Go, but it was connected to smallish 8" 1024x768 screens, so I could not judge the quality of the image. That's probably not the product you're looking for either. Drivers caused headaches to. It was the analog edition and the graphic...

That guy, BTW, vanished a few weeks later and no one knows if he's still alive or not. I found his brother and even him doesn't know. All we know is that he owed money to a lot of people that you don't want to mess with, but when we ask each others, no one says he did it. He was not the kind...

If I had 2700$, it would be for a used car. You know, something that can be useful in Winter. We have a real Winter here, not just a slight cooling like in Australia or the lower part of the States.

I've owned that car fo 7½ years now, so I'm not as bad as your brother.

That's about my view too. I don't have any morale problem to take my anger to people too, just legal problems. The car can't sue me.

My company is registered, not incroporated. So if it goes under, I go under, which is about to happen. I can no longer go credit because I've already gone there too often already. The garage says it's the shifter cable that's broken (second time on that car). It's a 500-600$ repair (it would...

It is now almost as large as Texas, but wind force decreased to 175Km/h (cat 2).

I hope it will curve further North and that the winds will still be of hurricane force when they hit here. I'll park my car next to an old tree, hoping it will fall on it and pass it on my insurances.

I'm generally on my ass when working on computers. Much more comfortable. You should try it.

Nope, japanese. Manual transmission.

You're in the southern hemishere so your results must be biased. You're under medication so you might not perceive time as healthy people do. There is a problem with the boot delay. Even a Canadian agrees with me so it must be pretty damn serious ;)

It did it both with the F2 and F4 BIOS. There was no PATA drive connected. SATA access mode was AHCI. There was a Seagate ST31000524AS hard drive and a Plextor PX890A DVD burner. It wasn't raining outside and it wasn't a full moon either.

My transmission broke today. It is now stuck in second speed. The engine has made a worrying amount of noise since last Fall. I totally ruined the driver's door (interior and exterior) due to my temper some time last year. The CD player has not worked since 2007. The brakes are past due for...

I understand in-wall speakers, but in-ceiling, nope. Why do you want something that'll sound good only when you're below it instead of anywhere in the room?
