The problem is sample bias. You have a self-selecting group, which does mean that they are more likely to be edge cases in experience rather than the average. You sample is also limited to people who bought, for example, at NewEgg; who know what kinds of biasing that may introduce. I don't...

I probably listen to a similar amount, but, as that rate, it would take me about three-quarters of a year to listen to all of the music that I already have. A penny an hour is infinitely more expensive than what I pay now.

I had an LG TV where the main board failed. It took six weeks to repair, with five of those being the shop waiting for the part from LG. They had it in stock, and, even if they slow boated it from China, it shouldn't have taken that long. After they finally shipped it, it took only four...

Sorry. Your posts must appear differently in my browser.

Or, you could just raise the jolly roger and get them for free. Even at $3 a month, it seems a bit steep for music that I don't get to keep.

I might suspect that they use the British pint.

That's the Internet, fool.

The new plan is to work around CrashPlan's lack of network support in a different fashion. I changed its service to run as the local user, rather than system. It should be able to see shares made under that account, but can't. It does, however, seem to be able to see symlinks to the shares...

It sounds like you're generalizing to all LEDs what is probably specific to your situation. It's like saying that CFLs suck because you stuck a spiral in a track light can, rather than a proper reflector-type CFL.

Isn't there a service to support them? Maybe a daemon?

If it quacks like a duck, that's a pretty good sign that it's a duck. The only problem I see is you making homophobic remarks, and then trying to cast it as a social issue. Tell it to Officer Krupke. I have had a number of serious discussions with San Francisco judges, in chambers, about these...

Then why would say such things? That statement goes from fair turnabout to those ad hominem attacks you like to complain about. Well, you know how NSAIDs make people do wacky things. So you take non-prescription drugs? Keeping in mind that mary jane is legally prescribed in California....

I got NFS working, although not on a permanent basis; rebooting the NAS will make the necessary changes go away. However, Windows Backup won't use an NFS share. And because I would have to mount each ZFS dataset individually, it's unwieldy to use for CrashPlan. Back to the drawing board, I...

I guess the vision issues and possible limb loss might be problematic.

Okkay, but no one sits and watches it do that.

iSCSI works pretty much flawlessly, but the size of the shared extent is fixed. So, the space is no longer fungible. I spent some time yesterday examining the NFS issues, and it's something to do with the RPC/portmapper on the server end. I fired up a VM with Knoppix, and it cannot connect...

That would be interesting, if it were true. Wouldn't be easier just say that you're a homophobe, rather than casting aspersions?

I'm sorry everybody. I took a naproxen for my shoulder and totally lost it.

If you had a trapezoidal core, I might say it's worth it. You'd have to go nonagonal to really notice any improvement.

Is there a problem with fat indices, other than it makes search pokey?

Maybe you should be smoking something, then....

After doing some research, I've found that FreeNAS needs a little massaging for NFS to work with Windows. This is made difficult by the fact that a lot of the configuration files aren't permanently changeable, as I am running from a USB stick. iSCSI seems like the next logical choice, but I've...

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Huh?

Whatever you're smoking, you really need to stop. Really.

I think that the geek population is underestimated. Especially those who are gamers by night. The loss in OpenCL performance doesn't meet the gain in graphics.

So, I've discovered the root of this problem: Windows is retarded. CrashPlan currently doesn't generally support backing up of network drives because of Windows security. The work around for this is to setup a batch file to automatically mount the shares at login as SYSTEM. This ran...

You're right. It makes a protein; but, since that's its real name, it's a real word. Is that where it's breaking? I didn't bother to do all of the counting. Is there some reason that there seems to be a maximum word length in the forum?

You realise that the first paragraph supports my statement and disproves yours?

You do realize that Macintoshes are now just x86 PCs running the MacOS? You can get a comparable machine that runs Windows for less, probably from Dell or HP. There's no hardware advantage. A lot of creative types that I know use PCs running Windows because they are cheaper and the software...

Since it's a function of Xwindows, it generally requires less work on the remote end. http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl_xhost.htm

No, because the problem is getting Windows crapup to verify the share. I should also mention that previously scheduled backups also fail, with error code 0x800704B3, which is, basically, network path cannot be found.

Going to get technical, are we...

How do you know? "Misdirected" light would simply go into the substrate material, and, if not reflected, never seen.

It's less than half. Simple geometry would tell you that. Of course, you don't blame incandescents for sending part of their light into the base of the bulb. The fact of the matter is that, if we did not put phosphors on that part of the tube facing in, not only would it be dimmer, but also...

It's fine. As I said, other Windows installs can use the shares; I fed them the same login information. Anyway, the issue is that it won't even allow me to set the server as the destination location, because it cannot verify it.

Maybe it wasn't critical enough. Unless Lord of the Flies and Island of the Blue Dolphins were poorly written books....

Just because it's retarded doesn't mean that people will have the appropriate CPU and graphics....

Apple is for sheeple. These are the folks who buy the radiation shields for the back of their iPhones.

For a while there, 3.5" 15k drives and 2.5" 10k drives were using the same platters.

I've switched over to my new server running FreeNAS and, except for CrashPlan needing to reanalyze every file because the last modified date has changed, it works great. However, Windows Backup now no longer will validate CIFS shares from the new box for saving backups. This isn't a problem...

Is there some reason that just xhosting isn't going to work?

I'm guessing that this next SimCity is going to screw over their loyal base of "casual" players, who, once again, won't have computers with enough horsepower.

They're called compact fluorescents, or CFLs.

This makes me so sad.

I guess I should now wait for an upgrade, if only for inevitable the price drops. When is the next round on the memory chips due?
