Every time I've played with policies at a personal level, I just burned myself repeatedly by forgetting what policies I've done and then later finding some subtlety that I didn't anticipate which produces a bunch of diagnostic time wasted. When I've done business policies everything is...

That is a real useful device. I''d never heard of something like it.

Cleanliness is next to godlessness. ;-)

I am actually very surprised he didn't just sell the site much earlier. I expected it shortly after he finished college and it was obvious in the content of articles he published around then that several major players were obviously courting him to join their team. Then there was the tech boom...

Woop-dee-do another 6-20% speed increase over previous equivalent models (unless you have very specific needs) and with that you have to replace the MB, RAM, and cooling system which effectively kills the upgrade market. Without a competitive AMD there just isn't the imperative for Intel to...

There have been multiple significant local earthquakes over the time period. I would argue that most that were deathtraps have already fallen down or been fixed

I didn't even notice one and I live on the west coast (Oregon). I had to Google it to find that it was a 6.0 centered on San Francisco. I had thought that California had building standards that would have made it effectively uneventful. Obviously, I was wrong.

No, the one machine was turned off while I am in the process of moving.

Sorry it didn't work out well and you ended up wasting a bunch of your time. The normal assumption is that a version upgrade is an improvement but unfortunately sometimes it does not work out that way.

I've had a lot more Comcast internet outages than power outages, where I'm at. I assume they are planned because every single one that has occurred was after 12 AM and resolved before 6 AM.

Comcast: in theory I'm supposed to get 50/3 but in actuality it is much closer to 25/2 for $65. I rarely need that much BW but the next step down is just plain too low at 1.5/.8 for $30. Of course, like most everywhere else the alternatives have significant issues that make them either...

Folding uses little PCI-e bandwidth. a 4x slot works fine and you lose little if any folding performance. because of it.

Well Groltz, it's been a while. You haven't made a post here since 2006 ... WB

Maxwell's (GTX 750 Ti's) certainly has very good potential but currently has OpenCL driver issues that haven't been addressed by Nvidia yet. That being said, there is supposedly a fix found for Core_17, but that fix isn't working with Core_18 nor ocores which are the in future. At the moment...

Nvidia uses so much CPU because they decided to use polling of the OpenCl driver to determine if it is ready for more work (Yuk). AMD's drivers are interrupt driven, so no polling is needed producing far less CPU usage. On a modern CPU AMD uses 0-2% of a single core which most people consider...

That being said, you can still add a second video card for folding purposes while using the integrated video for your display and effectively eliminate folding's video lag. So there is still a potential use for the integrated video even if you can't fold on it.

No, you should not need to restart the clients for a new client-type to take effect for the next WU. Microsoft's Remote desktop is not compatible with GPU folding! Luckily, there are many other options. Unlike mining, the current king for folding is by far the Nvidia 780 series.

In Windows, you might be better off with client-type advanced to avoid Core_18 which has PPD issues with AMD/ATI. It may be worth installing an OC utility, not to OC but rather to be able to do real-time monitoring of temp, Clock, %GPU usage in the systray. %GPU usage is a good way to tell if...

No, GPU folding is not supported for integrated Intel GPU's.

The beta forums are read-only to the general public. You can only post in the beta section, only if you are an "official" beta tester. You can apply here: https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=8 The reason for this is all historical. At one time, Beta testing was entirely closed...

Just curious but since you have two video cards, try pausing one of the slots and see what that does to the CPU and to the frame times of the still working GPU slot. You won't get help from the folding forums, for two basic reasons. First all beta support is done only in the beta forums and...

The norm: Nvidia should use one CPU core per video card. AMD/ATI should use virtually no CPU except at the very start of the WU while it sets up the WU for the card and periodic spikes (every couple of frames) that last no more than 2 seconds.

Something is peculiar, because the CPU's shouldn't be pegged at all, other than the start for Core_17.

PPD/TPF estimates are not even close to accurate till 3%-5% has been completed.

The Windows Config, after you modify it slightly, should work fine to meet your Linux needs. The modification would be to edit <cpus v='6'/> to match the number of CPU cores your Linux machine has. Just as a side point, try configuring v7's remote access on your Windows machine first. That...

You should now be able to AMD GPU fold using lLnux using client-type=beta or client-type advanced. It is in a peculiar state. Curecoin complained to Proteneer about AMD not being able to fold under Linux. The programmer, released the core for AMD+Linux to them, for testing purposes, as...

But 16 wireless routers all running in the same spot will interfere with each other's signals dragging the data rates down significantly.

Including doing the same on a wireless signal? You did say wireless didn't you. Wouldn't that require matching multiple mac address's to multiple different lans and their DHCP servers. On a wireless signal, how do you distinguish a specific wireless machine without needing to manually assign...

Obviously, different tastes...

In this context, generic generally means the cheapest 2TB drive (or whatever is in current inventory) that can be had at the time of the build regardless of model or brand.

Does the same problem exist accessing from a different machine?

That is peculiar. //server_name just uses an additional step to resolve the name to an ip address so if any problems exist they typically are with the //server_name. Does //server_name resolve to a different IP address? Did you have a DHCP address reservation that is no longer valid forcing...

I've actually had good results using USPS recently. For many packages, they are price competitive.

Samsung 850 Pro with 40nm 3D NAND Looks very promising.

Can't you just take ownership (as an administrator) of the folders and files then assign permissions as needed? As an emergency method you can try backing everything up using a Microsoft backup program then restore it to somewhere else (do not restore it back to the same place) which...

I constantly run two browser instances (chrome is my normal browser) with two different favorite groupings. One that runs in total defensive mode -incognito with no scripting no ads no nothing that I use for general internet use. There is a second browser instance that runs normally with just...

I really try not to comment on other people's ills but I'm bummed at electrocution.

A very long time. See: http://www.storageforum.net/forum/showthread.php/10083-TR-s-SSD-endurance-test Warranties mean nothing in regards to real reliability or the quality of the product. They are merely a insurance policy built into the price the consumer pays.

I am old school: A hammer.

I won't disagree, because I think you are correct. I really can't see the value of bricking anything. Read-only mode should be enough and at least a RAW mode to get whatever data you can off it, even if it is bad. I'm just saying you do have plenty of time to remove your data from the start...

Do note that there was 25+ TB of warning. For most people that would be an enormous amount of time.

1 PB (1000 TB) update 3 dead, 3 still alive!

I'm with Lunar too. Warranties are not an assurance of quality, they are just an insurance policy to get your money back if something fails. If there is nothing wrong when tested, then they are likely to stay good so just put them to use. Since you like a warranty, just remember to buy...

I don't know that all malware has common characteristics. Malware us just an application that is doing something unwanted by the customer and that makes it subjective and difficult to quantify. I've actually known people that sought out and deliberately installed, what I would have considered...

OK, I'll play the straight guy. Why does it have to be Bluetooth switchovers? Doesn't your WiFi cover the entire apt. with enough BW for a music stream. So the question becomes why use Bluetooth at all. KISS P.S. yes, it would be really cool.

Too high-end for anything I do, so I wouldn't want to insult with a low ball price. Both you and the machine deserves more than that. I'm sure others feel similarly.
