I had a long, nicely worded post listing the benefits, but it was eaten and I got annoyed. The highlights: 1. Light gets everywhere, including the places you want it, without having to fuss. 2. Light is flexible, waterproof, and rubbery. Let it dangle from the hood through the engine bay to the...

LED rope light is the best light for working under and in cars IMHO.

I'm sure everyone here knows, but I'll reiterate because it deserves it. Don't expose anything to the internet. System complexity and the number of people looking for exploits have effectively made everything vulnerable by an automated process. Have a firewall that blocks all unsolicited...

Nah, a buddy was running the BBQ and gave her tongs to play with. She then proceeded to start running near all the cars swinging them around. I kept her safely clear, but may have freaked a few AMG people out.

This is what happened tonight @ Laguna Seca: Liza, a metal object, and millions of dollars in Mercedes. The back row was all SLS Black and SLS GT.

...and in case anyone doesn't know how crazy over-the-top Crestron is, this is their conference table access port: http://www.crestron.com/resources/product_and_programming_resources/catalogs_and_brochures/online_catalog/show_zoomable_photo.asp?model=FT-TSC600&path=ft-tsc600&size=1

It will be, but I've decided to hold onto it. Just building out a ridiculous workstation for the house. My Solidworks renders are taking 4+ hours on an OC'd 4960X, so it isn't completely unjustified. The only question is would you rather have a pair of Titans or a pair of 290X in your design...

I think making the smartphone the brain and media source would be the most flexible/powerful, unless you want to tie in with Plex somehow? If RDC was quick enough to support video, it might be ideal for an installation. If seamless audio transitions are important (I'd argue they are), all...

I think the goal of "play the audio I've chosen on my phone everywhere I go, and only where I am" is a fantastic idea. I just don't know how to get the localization good enough (NFC? RFID?) and keep the audio in sync (and approximately the same volume) from one system to another. If you had a...

I was hoping for a pricing model similar to TimeScapes, but once I proposed that I didn't even get a reply.

Merc has the right idea, but you're going to want wedges instead of heels. Far more stable and off-road capable.

I'd go with Lunar on this one.

I had a little dialogue with the devinsupertramp folks about getting a better copy of their 4k content with a similar license to the Tom Lowe stuff. They said the only arangements they currently do are commercial, limited time, and $20k+. Shame.

Syncing is the hardest part of this I'd think. I just have TOSLink running into all the amps in the different rooms and tune them in and out manually. Having auto input switching based on location information might be a more useful solution.

Yeah, that is my issue as well. It did really well virtualizing 20+ servers and 20+ workstations for quite a while without breaking a sweat. And in that time, it payed for itself quite handily. But now I have this monster just sitting here going to waste. Not ignored, but quietly noted ;)

Really enjoying Hitman GO; a puzzle game.

My regular financial program (Marketplace) was more interested in their music streaming service than the accessories. The price they paid would be far too high for a cheap headphone company.

If I need to I can stick it on Ebay I guess, but I wanted to give you guys first stab. Willing to cut a deal to a regular.

Still no action with 86 views? Not even a number?

I have one sitting right here with 10 ports on it?

Interesting. Reflex to Apple buying Beats? I wonder what Pandora will do?

Do you shoot a lot of video? I'm having a hard time understanding how even a month-long trip could burn through that much storage.

It is interesting. What I found most interesting is that the average age of visitors is 32, I'm 33, and 70% of visitors are younger than I am. This implies that the distribution it mostly much younger, but trails off to a very high number.

Doesn't serve a purpose for me anymore. It was part of a transition phase as one of my clients bought several others. Their new permanent infrastructure is in place, and I don't want to sit on something this expensive. I was renting it to them monthly, but I don't think I'll have another use for...

Sounds like more of a general computer issue to me?

Most of the time I make sure to buy specifically from Amazon, if that isn't possible I look for those who ship through Amazon. Everyone else I treat as though I'm buying from their own tiny website.

The main training would have been a learning exercise; don't do a job without the right tools. Though to brag a bit, this job would have taken one of our professional construction crews several times longer. It was a very hard day. ...and the next weekend I demolished my parents kitchen. From...

Two weekends ago I helped a friend with a backyard patio/retaining wall. 2 semi-trailers full of Keystone Blocks, 150 cubic yards of fill, and 32 cubic yards of base rock. Plus a 90-lb jackhammer/compressor to remove the old patio. Of course, we had the right tools for the job. Bobcats...

Time to start paying taxes again and go back to saving. ;)

10 is more than you were hoping for?

Pretty sure you need to replace all instances of "gig" with "TB".....showing your age ;)

Are they different part numbers?

I'm quite happy with it. The screen size/resolution is nice for me. Battery life hasn't been an issue. The water resistance has already come in handy a couple times.

IIRC, 2450L

Nope. I didn't pay this much money for a thin and lightweight object to make it thick and heavy. I'll just take my chances and replace as needed.

Couldn't find my way to a console, but I found the "System Monitor", which is only showing 32 CPUs. But at least they all seem to be near 100%. Oban 14 is my new favorite. Better (IMHO) than even the crazy-expensive stuff my father-in-law brought.

Breaking in a new server. I've assigned 40 1.7Ghz cores to the NaCL client. A 2981 takes about 3 minutes. Is this ok? This is in an Ubuntu VM under ESXi, and I have no idea where to find a "task manager" type application to view system utilization.

Putting in the oldest 2011 CPU I could find and updating the BIOS was the only way. Note that I said oldest and not slowest, I had a 3970X in a machine that I was able to get everything handled with. Sorry I don't have an easier or less expensive option for you.

Currently dealing with thermal and electrical supply issues, not sure when I'll have them resolved, but it should be impressive when I do ;)

I don't know how one would calculate for interest and inflation, but discounting that, if a $125,000 college degree earns you $1.50/hr more over a 40 year working career of 40-hour weeks, it just breaks even. So far in my life, I don't think it would have penciled out. I'm pretty sure that...

The things I wouldn't care if the government could decrypt would be the stuff they already have or would only be beneficial from a commercial standpoint: 1. Bank data 2. General records 3. Common data mining stuff 4. Trade Secrets 5. Company data

I'd think that deleting the file most recently saved to the disk would have no effect on fragmentation at all.

1-3 I'm confident aren't issues. I've never heard of Ultimate Defrag, but if it is just doing its job it shouldn't be an issue. Just a reminder to not defrag SSDs, completely unnecessary and added wear. Moving all these things to weekly (hell, quarterly) will save you time, save wear on your...

I'd bet that one version back of TrueCrypt will be good enough for non-governmental stuff for a number of years yet.

Wider view requires higher resolution to be of any use. I've installed several CCTV systems, and the learning curve typically goes like this: 1. Put a camera pointing at the thing you are worried about. 2. Realize that you can't see their face when they are looking the same direction as the...

I thought it was open source? Time to fork the version that was audited?

Given that budget and those requirements, I would go with one of these: http://www.axis.com/products/cam_q1765le/index.htm
