Don't get me started. MS stepped over the line on that one.

I'm still recommending cheap laptops with HDMI out rather than deal with this unresolved mess.

This one you can. The optics are designed in such a way that the top and side edges of the beam are very hard; if you are outside the beam you see very little other than the illuminated cone on the ground. I typically aim it about 5 degrees down from horizontal. Even at 30MPH that would allow me...

Our team kits are pretty much all black. But the lights are the big deal, reflectors have a much shorter range.

Thanks again for all you do to keep this place running! I know I forget that someone is working behind the scenes most of the time...

Indeed. The virtualization features were necessary. I'm just used to being able to squeeze something extra, even if it is only 10%.

It isn't about liking it or not liking it. I prefer the previous setup myself. But that really doesn't matter, does it? The ribbon interface is what is sold, people buy, what they use. Getting people on to Google Docs is my priority, but if they want a copy of MS Office they get the ribbon...

Yup. No OC'ing at all. I knew the multiplier would be locked, but I didn't expect the bclk to be useless as well.

I've decided I want to play with fabricating carbon fiber stuff. This is my final objective:

It isn't an unlocked chip.

I've been under the impression that power/displacement relates closely to power/efficiency and power/fuel economy. Something about the stoichiometry and extracting power from the fuel in the cylinders. Disregarding that seems pretty silly.

3000ft of climbing is certainly respectable. And you did manage to hit 40mph! I've only been managing one ride a week lately; that needs to change.

Finally got around to starting to OC this thing (my sig, "Work2"). I can't even take the base clock from 100 to 103 without an instant hard-freeze. Something must be wrong.

The last version of Office to not use the current interface was released a decade ago. We can't get over this yet?

My rear light does more of a pulsing thing than a blinking thing, reducing the strobe effect. And I'm about to upgrade my 1200 lumen headlight to a 2000.

The seat heating in my car works fine, but there are many days where I wish for ventilated seats. Adaptive cruise control is another very worthy upgrade. Oh, and 4-wheel drive for those days where I need to go out to one of the quarries in the rain. I really like a hatchback to keep all my...

Thanks for the explanation. Unlikely to top 1.2M in a day anytime soon.

One of the reasons I'm looking at an APR reprogramming for my car. Looking at the torque improvement below 4000RPM, I can see it would significantly benefit my driving style.

Yup, beautiful place. It's been about 15C here lately. Just about perfect for me.

I can agree with this, but might push it to 4000rpm. Above that is uncivilized in a road car. Race cars are different. To start, there is only room for one car per adult in my garage. I also prefer the versatility of not having to decide before I leave what kind of drive I'm about to take...

1M+ points today. The stars must have aligned or something.

Lately I've considered being close to 100hp/l to be the standard? BMW has been doing it for years among others. And that is before you get into forced induction.

I haven't put in time to OC the 4770 yet. I'll need to do that before I can tell you for sure, but I suspect it may be. And the fewer cores makes it a more consistent performer.

Not the most sophisticated engine. 6.2L V8 with only 426HP and 16/24MPG. It needs all the help it can get.

I know a few of those. We've had some interesting discussions about it.

IIRC, the biggest non-turbo in Audi's lineup (discounting the R8) is the RS5 running the 4.2L V8.

I'm pretty sure that they law doesn't require them, but there are so many "set-up crashes" where people were being forced into situations with huge liability and corrupt cops that dash-cams were the obvious defense. The driving is pretty crazy. Keep in mind that perhaps 10% of people have cars...

Yes, please.

One of my neighbors named their wireless network "Surveillance Vehicle 802". I didn't know I had any neighbors who were geeks with a sense of humor. Probably best to break onto their network and introduce myself by sending a dinner invitation to their printer?

I'd probably start with pulling and swapping memory to find out which slots and DIMMs are being detected. Another place to try would be to down the timings to very conservative settings to make sure all is being detected.

My first step would be GetDataBack for FAT. But doing a block-for-block image first wouldn't be a bad idea.

I had a paid Veeam licence for over 2 years. It did work as advertized, but was never as easy as I would have liked. And in one instance consistently delivered corrupt backups. Granted the VM was in bad shape, but a warning that the backup wouldn't have been bootable would have been nice.

The part that springs to mind for me is the backup options. Either very expensive add-ons, or down-time. With down time you have manual or hacked-together. All distasteful IMHO.

Already redirected to Something Random....never fear ;)

I use opticals so rarely that none of my systems have one built-in. At home I do a lot of ripping, and for that I have an external (Plexstor PX-LB950UE) which has served me very well.

I want potty-trained (implying walking/talking). Then things should be more interesting. Here is the full picture for context.

She is now 2.5 months old. Last checked she was in the 93% for length and 86% for weight. I don't know why, but I really like that picture. But if you want smiling, here she is in a crappy phone pic.

The power control unit requires the Spider. The only connection to the PCU (besides power in/out) is to the Spider itself. The reboot command is sent from the main control interface.

I was just screwing around and came across the following situation. EndPCNoise machine above connected to Denon AVR-3313CI via DP -> HDMI and then HDMI to Seiki 50" automatically kicked into 4k mode. Looks awesome.

I'm watching the clockrate via GPU-Z and Precision, so they are fine. Ended up getting an error when the WU was submitted at 1306MHz, but they are going through fine @ 1201MHz. That machine (work2) is currently doing 385k PPD. Work1 is managing 301k PPD.

Found the logs. No errors. But I also downloaded the EVGA Precision software so I could monitor the GPUs. Turns out they were thermally throttling while the onboard fan was running @ 35% (!?). Got that turned up a bit using the fan curve programming in the software and all is well. While I was...

I'm thinking about getting into the Hitman series. I loved Thief when it came out, and have since had fun with Alpha Protocol and Assassins Creed. Thoughts?

My performance won't last long. I just got the check for machine "Work1"....another couple days and they'll take delivery. If we're lucky they'll want to wait until after the weekend.

I cannot get this machine to display @ 4k with the Seiki 50" TV. When connected via either the DP or HDMI ports the resolutions above 1080P are displayed, but trying to select them causes a "Not support" error on the screen before the resolution reverts. Just ordered a fanless GT 640 card to see...

It will still be awkward, but you really need to get some kind of dash/console mount for the phone. That made using it on the road so much easier.

Doesn't your phone have a mute capability? That should work over the bluetooth connection as well.

I'll grab some logs tomorrow. No manual OC'ing, but I believe the cards carry a higher clock from the mfgr. I have the most insane fan configuration on them at the moment with additional fans pushing air into the coolers, pulling it out, and moving tons of air around the boards/sinks. Unless the...

My Dad's response:

Work 1 with Beta units = 303k PPD Work 2 without Beta units = 105k PPD Work 2 with Beta units = 56k PPD Help?
