Well, I'm still driving my '96 Honda Accord (purchased new in '95) though it is now starting to show signs of wear. This past week I actually had to do my first repair because a computer went out that controlled a rear Window that is currently stuck open; the driver seat upholstery is showing...

Those high-scoring p8902's were never supposed to have been released and have been shut off. You should be back to relative normal shortly. Unfortunately, I never got one.

I would contend that there needs to be a very good reason to make a major change in a user-interface. That change will alienate a lot of your most loyal customers. Ribbons vs menus produce little functional difference so all you get is alienation and anger just like forcing the new Win 8 user...

I really must be missing something because I do not see the appeal of a peak HP/Torque anywhere above 3000 rpm's for normal city/Hwy driving. I can see it being needed for racing but other than that, no rational that I can think of. I also understand buying a high performance sports car but...

The Surface Pro is heavy, excessively expensive. Other than that, I rather liked it. If the RT were close to free, I might use it till I didn't want to anymore and then throw it away. It's problem is that it is a technological dead-end. No one is going to write stuff for it.

No, not necessarily. OC'ing can cause VRM's causing the clockrate to drop like a rock which won't show up in the logs. There is also a failure mode that causes the logs to just stop recording though the client thinks the cores are progressing but in reality they are not. Both of these seem to...

If I disappeared tomorrow, ddrueding should more than compensate with his two new Titans...

My PPD should drop some: I'm transferring a couple of GPU's to testing a new alpha project that gives no points ...

Need more details (like logs). My immediate reaction is OC'ing. Check clock rates of your cards. Core_17 is very sensitive to OC'ing and will cause clock rates to spontaneously drop and stay that way till rebooted. I really maintain systray monitoring of clock rates, %GPU usage, and temp for...

That only works for people that already have a passport and enough money and time...

Be very conservative with OC'ing with CORE_17. It is very sensitive and will bring your PPD down a lot as it rejects p8900's (giving only pro-rated base points) or down-clocks your cards (killing of TPF's and QRB) and at the worst Core_17 claims it progresses in the client but the log stops...

beta WU's or client-type advanced. You really want those core_17 WU's for high PPD.

They just stop working and anything plugged in gets no power. I get a replacement (I stock extras now, just in case) and everything runs again. Most of the time there is no power outages or known potential causes. I suppose that surges may be the cause but I'm not seeing any effect (other...

I have everything computer related all on one 20A circuit and it has never blown even when I had 4 more machines than I do now. Unfortunately, I do go through surge protectors with regularity but I keep spares. Recently my game playing has significantly been impinging upon my folding...

Machine_Check_Exception 0x9c http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/gg463286.aspx PCI-E video card? Try a different card preferably using a different bus. Minimize number of sticks of RAM and then check it (memtest 86+).

I have several P180's and I distinctly dislike them: The drive bays next to the PS are totally unusable without taking the intervening fan and mounting it outside the case (The HD's placed there over-heat otherwise).

I had an argument with several others because I contended that a P4's + 2GB RAM + SSD (optional, but it does improve the user experience) & modern graphics card was fast enough that most people doing the web or office work would not be able to distinguish that machine from a high-end i7 for...

Not to judge, but someday you may have an overnight female guest and the last thing you will want will be another woman with a key making a midnight visit.

Nope, no one asked about folding, but my outside exposure was very limited.

for AMD use Windows only for Core_17! The AMD proprietary drivers in Linux need work so Linux GPU folding is currently Nvidia only. The non-proprietary drivers for all manufacturer don't have the proper OpenCL support as of yet so you are stuck with proprietary drivers. So maybe eventually...

Proteener, sent it to me. I think all the Alpha testers for Core_17 got one.

The benefits of Haswell over previous chips is power usage much more than performance. For desktops, power is likely to be relatively insignificant but for mobile platforms it is likely to be all-important.

I don't own a smart phone. The only cell phone I own is one that I keep in my car for emergencies. It is a cheap Nokia that I bought at Wallmart for $20. It only has 20 minutes per month and the plan only costs $7.5 per month from T-mobile. I doubt I've used 20 minutes in the last year...

Does the same problem happen when DL'ing from the local network? I suspect that it is an ISP problem. Tracert is probably a better tool for identifying the problem than ping.

I didn't know that Samsung has a "laughable" model DVD burner.

Yup

I'm rather uncomfortable. I drove for about 3 hours this afternoon and my left arm is quite badly sunburned. I didn't even notice it happening till after. That's what summer driving get you.

Nope, you hit the nail on its proverbial head.

Don't forget, you may or may not need to change power supplies. I have no idea if the Pico PSU supports Haswell's chipset. Power supplies designed for earlier chipset's may not power up when signaled to do so by a Haswell MB. I'm not saying it won't work, but I think you need to be prepared...

Core_17 beta WU's give QRB and thereby get 40+K PPD on 580's on p7663's. They are now switching to p8900's and those are only barely getting 30K. I'm seriously considering selling the 3x 580's and using that money to buy a 780 or 2x GTX 580 for a single HD 7970. The 780 stock gets 120K PPD on...

It really was a shame that your $1500 4K TV didn't have a sharp enough display for monitor use. At that price it really was a bargain.

I've used the DivX+ player to watch videos and it will stream to other devices too. Can't say I've used that feature though because I generally just watch from the original source file, even if it is somewhere else in the network, rather than stream from player to player. I suppose streaming...

I didn't know that HP still made HD's nor did I know they ever made 15K rpm drives. Is it just re-brand of Seagate's Cheetah series

I agree, that is a really good price considering it is including a 120GB SSD.

Perhaps I'm missing something for I do not see the appeal of a Chromebook. Isn't it just the new "netbook" with Google caching (i.e. monitoring) every thing you do.

I went and saw a couple of movies today: Iron Man and Star Trek. I have to admit I really enjoyed Iron Man 3 and RDJ was really good in his part. I even liked Gyweneth Paltrow, quite a bit, as his wife. The plot made enough sense that I found it to be somewhat predictable. There was...

It was drilled into me a long time ago: HW is very cheap and there's always lots of surplus capability built in, but programmer time is expensive so let the user worry, if it takes 10 sec longer and an extra 100 Meg. Really, any programmer cares a lot about the quality and efficiency of their...

People get into a rut. Take a girlfriend that you trust and let her decide your new look...

I've had good luck with land's end but I have to admit that it has been a very long time (10+ years?) since I have ordered anything from them. I also know that they were bought out by Sears during that time and know nothing about how that affected them.

No, just a normal 3 1/2" drive that developed a clicking problem.

I just pulled a Seagate drive that started clicking constantly on a server. All drives passed their diagnostics (I ID'ed the drive by pulling each drive individually till the clicking stopped) but it was causing constant controller resets and that was drastically slowing down the transfer rate...

I really don't know how many people have more than one, but I suspect very few.

Screens (75-100dpi) are typically much lower resolution devices than printers (300-600 dpi) so when enlarging, the computer does not have to interpolate nearly as many pixels on a screen than on a printer.

Both the wireless and wired are on the same IP network (192.168.1.x).

Correction the mac address filter is configured with all the Mac addresses that can connect to the router wirelessly.

only on the guest network and that is there solely so I can connect my Kindle to the internet (has a mac address filter for that one device).

This is a consumer level wireless router not a CISCO beast with a programming language capable of such. Perhaps it is time to upgrade the router ...

No, that is probably why the Router's DHCP was used in the first place for it worked both in the wireless domain and the wired. Currently the Router is blocking all DHCP from the wired to the wireless (Both IP4 and IPV6). P.S. Wireless router is a Netgear N600 (WNDR 3700 v.1)

OK, I found out why not to use the Windows DHCP: It does not cross the broadcast boundary at the router to the Wireless clients.
