I think that depends on the lizard people.

The eclipse will be over by then and normal celestial lighting will have returned.

AFAIK, unless the electricity is free they very much care about hash per watt because they need to turn a profit making more money mining than they're spending on electricity. Ultimately that's why GPU's fell to ASICs with Bitcoin mining. As the complexity went up it cost more to run GPUs for...

Not according to Coug's link. It shows the 1070 is a better card per watt.

I like my RX100 MkII.

HD Homerun is the hardware you're looking for. In terms of the software. I'm not so sure. I think Kodi supports them. I only record to disk from them with nPVR. I don't watch live though nPVR supports that too.

I returned my rented cable modem and a HD cable box today and swapped out my ~10 year old DVR for a new (to me) one. My old DVR apparently died while I was in Europe. I came back and found it totally dead. While there I complained about the amount I was paying per month (~$142 before taxes...

AFAIK, those don't download unless you explicitly force them using your mobile data. They will download automatically over WiFi though.

So I double checked with my sister and apparently we'll be about 6-7 miles off the center of the path of totality at the lake we'll be at which apparently translates to about 10 seconds less totality than at the exact center.

Hotels are that expensive in the totality areas? I'm staying with my sister in SC so I didn't even look into them.

Isn't it rather unlikely that a brand new platform from AMD that just came out isn't going to have issues with ESXi? You're on the bleeding edge and I expect it will be bloody.

Android will show you what app used the data.

Yes, directly in it.

So you can run really Cinebench benchmark runs really fast in a loop and post the results online for bragging rights? Or do you have some very thread heavy tasks to throw at it? Multiple simultaneous x264 transcoding sessions and mass FLAC to AAC/MP3 conversions is about all I do where my 2x...

Unless you've been practicing shooting the sun and have the technique down cold I'm not sure what's you're trying to do is a worthwhile endeavor. You don't have a lot of time to get shots as the sun and Moon are moving and I'm sure the internet will be full of better pictures (at least vs. what...

It's not exactly the same thing. I've been living out of a suitcase in hotel rooms for 4 weeks. If I had moved here for a long term assignment is have a different living arrangement and outlook. 4 weeks is enough of this IMO.

Not planning to try to seriously photograph it. I'll have my RX100 MkII with me since that's my usual travel cam, but at most it would be a snap or two if there was something interesting about the context/environment of the photo.

Yes, I'm traveling to South Carolina Friday night and will be there for the eclipse.

I'm looking forward to getting back to the US in the next few days as my European training adventure draws to a close. Being away for 4 weeks is a little long.

Well, why didn't you just say hairy pits from the start? I haven't noticed that either, but I haven't gone around lifting up arms to check.

Okay, so I've been paying more attention now... The women have shaved legs. Their arms don't look hairy (like many guys) and I can't say that I've seen any of them with a mustache... So, now I have to ask. Extra hairy in what way?

Engineers doing product design, testing, and support. I can't say that I've noticed that.

No, it's like a point of pride that they don't need it or something. And, to make matters worse they don't seem to use it even if they have it. Of course they're all at work in shorts and a t-shirt too. If I was in shorts and a t-shirt too I might feel differently about it.

What do the Germans have against air conditioning anyhow?

Because their spam won't fit in the currently allocated limit.

Getting sent back in time must really upset you then.

Are you planning to run Windows 7 on it? FWIW, W7 does not run so well on my work ThinkPad 470s, which is Skylake based.

The 6D MkII seems to have a gimped sensor in terms of dynamic range. :roll:

I made them all, but it was a bit nerve-wracking.

So double your money?

I bought 32GB (4x8gB) of used DDR3 1866 registered server memory for $75 a few weeks ago on eBay. The prices of the standard consumer stuff is so much higher?

No, I don't work for the Germans. However, I'm in Germany now for two weeks visiting one of the company's German offices. They were all a few minutes late. 5 minutes max, but when your train change is 11 or 12 minutes it matters.

I don't know ways happening these days. Every German train I have been on today has been late. And here I thought the trains ran on time.

Just wait until the Ethiopians

6 whole cores? :rofl: You don't need to do squat with affinity when you have 6 cores. If you have 20 cores each with HyperThreading then you may have do something.

That sounds about right to me.

Is your photography part of you job or just a hobby?

Central Intelligence Agency?

I have no idea. None of us have any clue what you do aside from the CIA guess.

You have staff?

For your domicile yes. They're a little harder to barter with or use as a pseudo-currency because they're not so portable.

Just don't go to them.

Because in a societal collapse or near total currency collapse which seems to be something that many of the Gold and Silver proponents (the ones who have the physical precious metal in their possession or a safe deposit box not in an abstract fund or ETF) think they're going to be all set...

Bitecoins, no. Bitcoins, maybe. A stash of ammo, absolutely.

Yeah, my luggage was delivered Monday evening. About 34 hours after it should have (when I arrived).

Is that really the link you intended to use? It doesn't seem to be at all about what's happening August 1st with Bitcoin.

No to both of those. I've not had this problem with my bags before so I was not as careful in the distribution of my items as I probably should have been. And business class. Ahahaha, no. I've never worked for any company that would pay for that.

Supposedly my bag will arrive the local airport tonight at 10:20pm'ish local time. I'm not sure when it will get to my hotel. I expect tomorrow.

I think it all depends on whether a given cryptocurrency can be mined by ASICs or not. Bitcoin had it's day with GPU mining for a while. Then, the ASICs took over. That will probably happen again with Ethereum and GPU mining will go dormant until the next new'ish cryptocurrency gets hot.

Yes, barely an hour.
