One of the reasons I run a water cooling setup is that it discourages buying every conceivable upgrade instantly. Perhaps by the time my Rift arrives (still no ETA!?!?) they'll have a new top-end card that will allow me to go single-GPU.

The stand it ships with uses the 200mm set, there are threaded holes for a 100mm mount, but did I mention this thing is big? 3840x2160@60Hz via DP straight out of the box. Working great. Not a significant amount of glow/bleed. Color is a little off, but I can't say how much. When I bring the...

This is a big monitor. I've used a 42" 1080P TV as a monitor before, but this seems larger for some reason. Build quality seems great, the cables that ship with it are awesome. It does have a VESA mount, but it is a larger format (200x200? didn't check). Left to right: Dell 30", Dell 27"...

My favorite version of Mario is the one done by the Boston Pops. Can't find a good web copy at the moment.

Paul Ryan, unhappy or planning a last-minute dive?

One of the things I love about Marian Hill is that it rewards repeat listening and stands up to intense scrutiny. The best sound system you have at the highest volume settings and it just sounds cleaner. This is not common in this genre. Her latest track, Marian Hill - Down, is probably the...

The idea of Trump with nuclear launch authority scares me a bit, too.

As you've said, there are great advantages to using vendor drives. IMHO, they are not worth it in any kind of storage rig. If all you are getting is half a dozen SSDs then pay their crazy cost and don't worry. For a storage appliance (10 drives+) the cost gets crazy and not getting 10TB drives...

I see it as more of a lack of structure and leadership within the GOP. Trump was not the best horse in their glue factory, and his nomination has significantly hurt not only their run for president but many congressional seats as well. Politicians running for lower positions can usually raise...

This isn't the first time I've heard a company make this statement. I never retain original packaging. Normally I'll have a local professional service put together the box/protection and ship it anyway. I've never had it rejected if the packaging was sufficient.

I'm sure I'm losing something using the Creative X-Fi HD as the DAC, but it doesn't have those issues. Now that my keyboard has a good volume control on it (daskeyboard Pro 4) I don't need the soundcard to be external or within reach. How much am I missing not going to something impressively...

The first gen 32" 4k I bought also wasn't an Ultrasharp. I could attribute it to cautiousness concerning a 1st generation product and not wanting to damage the Ultrasharp brand, but it is more likely that the monitor doesn't meet some technical specification (inputs or whatever).

Didn't look for codes. The spec you are looking for is DP 1.2, the quick Google I did didn't look promising. http://hothardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-titan-performance-yes-it-can-play-crysis-3?page=1

That'll have to be the next set. With the current power levels traction control has fits when I floor it from a standstill, so I pretty much always drive with TC off. This gives my car a significant appetite for tires.

Scheduled delivery 5/9/2016 if you want to wait for me to give a review.

Partially the off-roading, but also the NVH scores are considerably better and traction not much worse. The DWS seems to just be a much better rated tire. Doesn't hurt that they are cheaper.

Didn't realize there was one. I ordered 8 from Tire Rack last month. (Set for the wife as well). Does not specify 06 on the receipt. Is it just a refresh or a different SKU?

I recently put the 5th set of Conti DWS on my car, 109k miles now. The main reason I went with APR was that the local guy who did APR tunes was nice and knowledgeable. I don't think any of the tuners do rocket science or that their parts are exceptionally shiny.

I don't mean to break out the "640k should be enough" argument, but we are reaching a point where there are fewer and fewer applications that would benefit from significant increases in computational performance or storage density. As the cost rises and the number of potential...

How so? All but one of his charts are cited from reputable sources.

Fun video, but I think the core message (bad, but not fatal, as always) is a good one. https://youtu.be/A0ZyhPfBnNc

I'd agree with Chewy on this one.

Things are getting a bit better. Echo paired up with my Google calendar this morning (big data win for them) and now reminds me of upcoming events and allows me to add new ones.

Since there is no longer much competition, I'd imagine they can slim down R&D quite a bit.

I've been using the Amazon Echo a bit lately. Playing Pandora is nice, the integration with my Nest thermostat is nice. It (in theory) will interface with my Insteon lighting system, but I haven't messed with that yet. It follows the kinda crazy practice of arriving at my place already...

Just change the default gateway to take it off the internet. See if your bandwidth issues go away. If that is indeed the culprit, there is a way to re-install the OS without losing your data (of course, you should have a backup somewhere anyway).

I didn't know that. What cable do you use?

Every once in a while I find myself on the road and on the phone hours at a time. Because of this I keep at least one spare fully charged at the locations and vehicles I use. And yes, the company pays for all of it.

Thanks for that. One of the downsides of having the wireless charger built into my car holder, work desk, and bedside table is that the phone is nearly always at 100%. I'm sure this isn't good for the chemistry.

Thanks for that Howell! I did not know that word.

And (after the update, at least for now) change the default gateway of the Synology box to an incorrect value. It only needs to see the internet for updates.

I've been reconsidering for 6 years. I'm not going to do something against code, but I'm surprised that there isn't a product that would allow cables to pass through a rated firewall. Steel sleeved with an expanding foam to seal fumes? Tempted to run a conduit outside, past the firewall...

I've been considering something similar, but the wall in question is a firewall. I'm having a hard time finding a legal way to do it.

I'd probably be looking at PVC pipe and a couple flanges.

I've used HDMI audio splitters to get around similar issues.

Howdy e_dawg! It has indeed been a while. I don't think it is your WiFi. I think one of your internet-connected devices has been hacked. Could be the modem itself or some other "smart thing". Of course, it could also be your devices doing updates and the like...the Win10 pre-load is a monster...

I'm pretty sure this is how genetics works ;)

Logitech makes a wireless keyboard with a touchpad on the same board. I've used those before. Mostly I just bring a good mouse that can track on the fabric.

USB3 made these much better. Not perfect, but usable for most people.

And in case anyone missed it, SpaceX landed their second 1st stage booster safely today. This time on a barge in the ocean (saving the fuel that would have been needed to return the 1st stage to the launch site). https://youtu.be/sYmQQn_ZSys

Though Elon has said specifically that their goal is to force the market to react to their actions and accelerate an EV future. Much like Google has done in internet connectivity (Google Fiber) and cellular plans (Google Fi). This requires them to hake something at least as cheap as the 3. I...

A client of mine could only be served by Comcast. I managed to get their home and business divisions to bid against each other and got a pretty sweet deal. They really are treated as two separate companies internally and it costs them a fair bit.

I know she is putting together a list of specifically female focused comics and is offering money for each one (don't remember how much, $0.50?) to build inventory. In any case, if you are looking to offload a stack, I can put you in touch.

Yup, one of the athletes in the video has another year of college eligibility left and is being approached by several top-tier colleges. We're trying to put together a promotional video for her. Unfortunately, it seems the only video shot of her playing is this one. Just confirming the problem...

As a shareholder, I'm OK with this too. Toyota has already licensed Tesla IP. Rumor has it that BMW has done the same. So long as the company is profitable.

Can anyone else play this video successfully? For me it has an overriding buzz and the video is a 1FPS slideshow. Trying to help a friend apply for a college team. http://m.ustream.tv/recorded/73114683?rmalang=en_US

I should put you in touch with my sister; she is currently accumulating comics for the shop she is opening in Portland. http://www.opb.org/news/article/woman-friendly-comics-shop-portland-katie-proctor/

Very troll-y language with very little substance. Do you have an undisclosed horse in this race? And what is this "your boy" BS? Let's take this back to what it should be about; some companies and the odds of their success. Tesla: Profitable (in the same way the other US automakers are, with...

I think you're asking if it is safe enough to buy an app for your phone from your phone? Sure. If you're asking if it is safe to use some kind of e-wallet to purchase things at a physical store? I'm not comfortable saying that yet.

Comcast has such a lock around here that anytime I've threatened them they've just let me go. They know all the other options (DSL or wireless) suck.
