There's good reason why M$ want's subscription based OS: They get a lot more money over time.

I was just using that as an example of a mutually exclusive design.

I understand that designing for the maximum stringency between US and EU is slightly more expensive but surely it is cheaper than redesigning multiple random components and economies of scale should pay for it all anyway. The only time that shouldn't work would be if the two standards are...

Since it is all technically expendable then fun times can happen during events like this. You get to learn, what worked and what didn't.

I must be missing something because what I read it is a dual-clutch automatic and I thought you loved those. [/FONT]

I understand. Perhaps that is what I am missing.

Can't ever say I've tried that, so I on't know.

To late, the projects have been fixed so no more QRB. I'm still waiting to find out if I get the QRB for the WU's I got.

Currently, with client-type general release, PG is releasing p7620 and p7621 (Core_15) WU's with QRB. I'm sure it is an anomaly, but my clients are reporting 150K PPD on GTX 580 and 47K PPD for my GTX 460's where normal is 45K and 20K. Another person reported 320K PPD for a 780Ti. I have no...

Yes, the plan is cancelable for no contract more than month to month remains. It started out as an old T-mobile (300 minutes for $20) plan, for the same purpose, that many years ago, I tried to cancel because Consumer Cellular was doing 30 minutes for $10 and my current plan (20 minutes for $5)...

I have an emergency phone that I keep in my car that I uses a plan giving only 20 minutes/month for $5/month. It had a dedicated purpose and I was fine paying the $5 for the security. Apparently as of 5/1/2014 T-mobile will be upgrading that plan to unlimited text, data, phone and still...

Consider separating the freezer from the refrigerator. Get a full size refrigerator w/o freezer and then get a separate chest-style freezer (store it in your garage). It'll cost more because you will be buying two major appliances but you are likely to double both your refrigerator and freezer...

http://techreport.com/news/26315/how-to-reduce-or-eliminate-lcd-burn-in-and-stuck-pixels and yes, I did try it and it did remove some slight image persistence on my monitor. I did not have any stuck pixels to fix.

JScreenFix LCD image persistence and stuck pixel fix

Sorry about that, One thing of note is that the recent beta v7.4+ estimates of PPD are much more accurate than v7.3.6 was.

To my knowledge, nothing has changed that would be affected by re-installing the OS, VM, or client.

As I remember the story, the same crocodile that ate the hand also ate an alarm clock, so it ticks and thereby gives warning when near which produces the fear.

You have only a 17GB C: partition?

I needed to get a copy of my father's death certificate and the state of Oregon sent me some random 12 year old girls birth certificate. I returned it, in person, and they gave me the correct document. Now, I curious how much a real certified birth certificate brings on the black market...

unfortunately, projects don't typically stay in beta for long so it is probably just a temporary fix but hopefully by then PG has a more permanent fix to its current problem.

The cause of the current problem with not getting Core_17: https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=25887&start=105#p262342. PG tried to fix an issue with the Maxwell cards failing with Core_17 by limiting who got them. It didn't work... PG knows about the issue and is working on a fix...

I wasn't, but I am now that I switched to beta. I was operating at 112K PPD where my normal is 210K PPD. I know that my drop is less than yours but I would attribute that to me having much lower-end video cards (GTX 460's and 580's) that don't normally get nearly as much QRB as your GTX 780's...

Just Windows. Most of my folding machines won't run X64 (They're P4's) and for Linux that is required for GPU folding. Stanford never produced an x32 Core_17 variant. The X64 machines I have need to stay in Windows for they are not dedicated folding machines but have other primary functions.

dual booting?

Handruin is dealing with GPU folding issues, while NaCl is CPU only

Those p8018's (Core_15) are PPD murder, so I try to optimize client type to ensure Core_17 to chase the good projects. The easiest way is to run Linux because only Core_17's are offered. Second choice, is that several internal Windows Core_17 projects just graduated to client-type = beta. So...

Typically neither but it is a judgement call as to what temperatures you are comfortable running at. All chips have their own limits and when they get close, they throttle the clocks down, for self protection, till the temperatures are more reasonable. GPU's typically do not start throttling...

I don't think a water heater would work well for it is not always heating water, unlike the GPU's folding.

I was commenting on the companies track records, not the track records for specific drives.

I vote for Hitachi regardless of speed. It is a question of reliability. see: http://www.storageforum.net/forum/showthread.php/10203-Harddrrive-reliability?highlight=reliability

All I can say is that Demerol certainly worked for me as a pain killer without any side effects other than I was feeling really fine. I only wish they had given it to me much sooner. For some reason they would not give me any pain killer till after the X-rays which required that they...

I've had Vicodine prescribed multiple times for multiple reasons. I've never noticed that it does much. I got a shot of Demerol, in an emergency room once after falling off a roof and shattering my shoulder and that worked really well for several hours. unfortunately, I don't think they give...

They created a new WU but forgot to add QRB to it so everyone was getting just the base 10 points. Stanford knows and will correct.

To any folding using the NaCl client: It is useful to upgrade Chrome to the 34.1847.92+ beta-m version. It gets rid of several major bugs of the NaCl engine. Specifically, a memory leak; an accumulation of files in the temp folder (The temp folder could get enormous to the point of filling...

Just get yourself (or go to a library) a Consumer Reports annual auto issue. It is a very useful tool for judging automotive reliability.

Stanford seems to be giving out Core_17 projects, once again. At least I'm getting some now.

PG has only a limited Core_17 WU's, so the vast majority of WU's avail are old Core_15 non-QRB (Quick return bonus) p8018's or p76xx which really suck PPD-wise. At some point, they will create some new projects and all will be good again. When, I can't say. The other problem is that they...

The new client is incompatible with HFM.net. If that is important, then don't upgrade. Other than that one big problem, it is an improvement.

It's a very common one that has been in existence as long as I can remember. I can remember trying to buy a mattress coming out of HS and going from store to store and never finding two identical models # that I could use for price matching or even price comparison.

The packaging works, but the time handling between removal from the packaging and installation is critical. You should always have, at the minimum, a wrist strap when doing things like swapping out a CPU, adding a stick of RAM, or even upgrading a video card. Also, we are talking long-term...

He likes their return policies.

Perhaps, but only if you are touching/handling circuit boards or chips. Properly using an inexpensive wrist strap can go a long ways towards preventing self-inflicted wounds. Once a machine is boxed-up, touching the case doesn't matter for it is all grounded.

My comments were not purposed to assign blame or cause of the failure. Santilli, wants long-term reliability and I was just trying to help him get there.

Big voltages just destroy which is relatively easily caught. Smaller voltages, drill small holes that do not totally penetrate the circuits and thus do not cause immediate failure but rather failure over time and that is why static matters a lot for long-term reliability.

I just haven't heard of countries extending borders by purchase except for Alaska and the Louisiana purchase. Using the military or diplomacy is much more common. Citizens, generally don't like the concept that their allegiance they can be bought and paid for. Personally, I don't think Putin...

I assure you that my post was not a dig on you are DD but rather all self-made machines. Very few people or small companies, even those well informed, build machines do so in a highly anti-static environment with proper anti-static equipment properly used. Large PC/Server manufacturer's do...

In the recent light of Russian/Crimea/Ukrainian border issues I thought of giving some long-range context. http://loiter.co/v/watch-as-1000years-of-european-boarders-change/

I am not normally one that gets frustrated installing an OS. I've done lots of installs. This was an exception. It just means that no matter how many times you've done something, something new will crop-up. I did not install from a thumb drive. I installed from a DVD created from the above...
