If I were buying a bunch of video cards right now, I'd consider 660Ti/760s. Mainly because they are relatively inexpensive and yet good producers. There is a very significant increase in PPD (2x+) moving from 560 to 660/760. If you are only going to buy just a few cards, high-end gaming, or...

Really, you think there would be a society to contribute to if everyone was addicted to Meth...

You won't get GPU lag if you fold with a GTX 780 on machine #2 and continue using the Intel HD graphics to display on the screen. Lag comes about from folding on the same GPU as you are using for display purposes. Folding does work in big chunks, and when you have to move a mouse Windows has...

4 of 5 lenses are on Ebay. Ebay has a $5000/month cap on listing in the same category so the 17-40 listing was rejected. I'll just wait till Nov. for that one. Canon MP-E65 Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM This is the first time in...

Route the cable underneath your shirt: much less likely to snag.

My current issue with 8.1 is that HFM.net (A folding application) can't randomly connect to wireless machines. However, I still have access to those machines via network just not from that application. On the good side, I used to have problems seeing my Domain controller (DNS issues) from the...

Is weight a significant issue with a headlamp?

I would argue that not wanting to cannibalize your own sales is different than allowing another company to take some of your market share with a better product.

I still have them, but still planning on selling them. I'm just selling them because I do not use them anymore: It is as simple as that. Does that issue really invalidate my opinion?

I predict that under such competition, Canon will likely release a comparable product relatively soon rather than allow someone else (Sony) gain a competitive edge. Buying a Sony body and an adapter so you can use Canon lenses is just a short-term fix. I am also suspicious about anything Sony...

3-in-1 oil is my go-to for most household uses like squeeky hinges

Nothing I can say is going to change you and how you approach life. I choose differently and have no doubt that I'm happier for it. I am rarely angry and when I am, it only lasts for a short time.

Yes, but not at the expense of enjoying life. A slow leisurely trip is worth the additional time it takes. A world where everything is rushed, and where people are always annoyed and angry is not worth the cost.

I must be abnormal. I actually enjoy driving long distances slowly. I put on some good music, set cruise control at 55-60 MPH and with someone to talk to or with some nice scenery it is nice a relaxing change of pace. As a side benefit gas mileage improves so cost goes down somewhat.

I liked Gravity (non-3d, non-IMax) quite a bit but one does need to suspend a bit of disbelief. The critics are definitely correct that there are issues with reality that if you are looking will stand out. It is probably better to read the critics after you watch the movie so you won't be looking.

I thought that Tesla was charging $60 per battery swap: More expensive than a gasoline fill-up for many newer efficient cars. On the other hand much cheaper than replacing batteries (off warranty) when they inevitably start get weak and you can keep trying till you get a good set.

It is my understanding that even Tesla recommends that super-chargers be only used occasionally for fear of damaging the batteries if used excessively.

I can not disagree, they probably do.

I trust Google only slightly more than Facebook with privacy and I don't think a 10' lead shield is enough to protect me from Mark Zuckerberg and associates.

Hey adding $15/month to the tablet is cheap compared to a extra cell phone + data plan. That being said, it is sad that I can't find a big tablet that can also make calls. I can't be the only one that needs that capability. Considering what smart phones are, it would seem to me that it would...

I need to have a large screen to bring up remote documentation and blueprints (high ppi with a big screen is very useful), via web, without touching a customers internet/network or HW i.e. the tablet needs to be self-contained but needs to access its data remotely. Without access to a local...

I must be missing something, for my research indicates there are no large tablets (10+ inches) that are also useable as a cell phone. Am I wrong?

I'm not worried about the NSA either except as an abstract govt. privacy issue. I'm an American and still believe in my own privacy rights. I understand that the vast majority of internet users just give it away but I'm not of that persuasion. I understand why the NSA would be very...

Yes, I saved everything. I even have the foam blocks and original plastic bags that everything was originally wrapped in (inside the boxes). My point is that I am not using them for many years now so I just don't need to have all that money tied up in something I'm just not doing. I...

A relatively non-technical article on NSA's ability to beat TOR. I thought it was somewhat interesting.

Here's Photo's of the above five lenses: I can supply detailed photo's of any specific lens anyone's interested in. It just did not seem reasonable to upload everything to SF.

A Haswell i5-4670 should work well. However, an ATI radeon HD 4670 is too old of a video card so won't get any WU's.

NP.

I'm selling a 100-400 ...

I can manually configure the incognito version of Chrome to do virtually everything that Epic is doing. That being said, I kinda like some of the speedups, (like caching) and features (ad blocking for example) that are turned off by the ultra-paranoid. I actually keep two browsers running all...

I've decided to sell off my Canon lenses mainly because it's been years since I've done a significant amount of photography. I'll probably replace it all with a digital PS which will undoubtedly satisfy my needs. All are in excellent condition and are older but still very low usage lenses...

I have a homeless pair with an expecting baby that I've been helping out for a long time now. Neither is addicted or insane, just really very bad luck and stupidity got them in their situation. I tried letting them stay with me for a short time period. That sucked, and they didn't even try to...

You can add the flag anytime. It will only be used when getting a new WU, so it won't interrupt anything you already have.

The PPD for non-Core_17 WU's on AMD video cards just outright suck. I do not know if you are running client-type=beta but beta doesn't seem to have many Core_17 right now and client-type=advanced seems to do better. Undoubtedly, that will change with no warning however. The 99% problem seems...

There is also the obvious: SAS controllers allows the use of either SAS or SATA drives while a SATA controller can only use SATA drives.

Competition is a good thing.

He doesn't seem to be broken.

You could, lock-down his machine/user account so tightly that it will only run "approved" programs and he can not run anything else. Less extreme is lock the machine/user account so nothing new can be installed. Another alternative is to store all data elsewhere and then automatically re-image...

Local power issues? Need a UPS?

Feel free to ignore everything I say.

Are you sure you don't mean 32GB+ of ram? Otherwise the 32GB-100GB range is just missing in action. There are lots of enthusiasts that want more than 32GB even if they never really use it. I will agree that 100GB+ is undoubtedly multi-processor server territory especially considering how much...

I contend that the real difference between z87 (32GB) and x79 (128GB) is the amount of RAM allowed with x79 being the winner. All the other differences put together pale in significance.

What you seem to be describing is that the results are pre-destined (no information transfer need occur, so the results can happen instantaneously regardless of distance because it just is) as opposed to being determined during measurement (If it is determined during measurement, then the...

They've measured quantum entanglement and the information transfer seems to run at least 10,000x faster than light.

While I got the Email the link didn't work. I got an error 500. I suspect it probably has something to do with my google account having a different E-mail address than the Email address you sent the link to.

Neither, is especially unfathomable unlike Quantum Physics which just gets outright screwy real quick.

Your Win 7 is pre-creating a bitlocker partition, so if you use that feature you will not have to repartition the HD. This is normal behavior for any Windows version that has Bitlocker. If you do not with Windows to auto-create partitions then you will have to delete all the partitions and...

2013 lg nobel prizes announced I particularly liked the peace prize.

I was using raid-5 on two large disk arrays and was constantly fighting random dropped disks that would test out fine. Eventually I got rid of the splitters and didn't have any more problems.

Samsung 840 EVO rapid dram caching examined. My conclusion is that it isn't worth much except for benchmarking.
