Sweet.

No idea. Try this link straight to a YouTube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nJWwXA5cHJc

I would be interested if the cable length could be 40'+, but copper is limited to 3m. When the fiber-optic version ships, it will do what I want.

Building an H-Quad: Just placed an order from DragonPlate (manufacturer of structural carbon fiber) 4x Braided Carbon Fiber Square Tubing ~ 0.75" x 0.75" x 24" (.050" Wall) 2x Solid Carbon Fiber Sheet ~ 1/32" x 6" x 24" Last night I ordered 4x Hacker A20-20L brushless motors, 4x Hacker X20...

My sister is driving down from Portland to the bay area for the weekend. She came across a self-driving car and was amazed. Based on the comments made by her friends on facebook, I should have been amazed that she even knew what it was. The comments/questions are mind-boggling. Is this really...

1. Are fans in Mac laptops modular and easy to remove? 2. Useful video for anyone that doesn't understand the costs associated with a laptop "tune-up"

I'd be thrilled if you found a more eloquent solution Merc.

Not until the carbon dioxide falls from the sky....-55C ;)

Was just reading the page on Synology systems and their RAID levels...thought others might find it interesting. http://www.synology.com/us/support/tutorials/how_to_RAID.php#2

I've been hearing for years that UREs would prevent RAID levels with checksums from working, with everyone going back to RAID-10 and more backups. I've always been a fan of the performance benefits of writing to a RAID-10 array, and with capacities getting huge and costs plummeting it isn't that...

I had that same thought last week. It really should be a folder-level option, like permissions.

Sounds like an excellent thought, actually.

For RAID, there is nothing better than RAID-1. But there is no substitute to backups. A full backup not associated with the original in any way.

Wow. I could imagine them cutting back from the bazillion different models and sub-models they currently make, but cutting out entirely? My prediction would be that they do this, then when the market stagnates too much they get back in to keep everyone honest.

Funny enough all that happened was I snapped one of the pins that holds the folding prop. Of course, I couldn't find the pin, and a replacement won't be here til Friday. But the pitot airspeed module arrived today.

Google Earth reads this just fine.

I'll post the KML files in a bit. But here is the ending ;)

Wow, how close do you have to be to an accident to take shotgun damage?

Is there a current way to get MP3s on an iPod (nano 16GB in this case) without installing iTunes? I know there used to be some programs, but they kept breaking?

Getting a package from a company with a name like "3D Robotics" is just neat. Currently have the ArduPilotMega connected to my computer via 915MHz, 57.6kbps serial link. Receiving telemetry data in real time from the uBlox GPS receiver, on-board compass, barometric altimeter, and...

Hobby until I can make a business case, then I can call it work. We do own a civil engineering/surveying company...one can dream ;) It might also be fun as a photography platform; cheaper than a real helicopter ($250/hr + pilot).

I think it might be more accurate to say that it can find problems, but not all problems. If RAM fails Memtest 86+ it is bad, if it passes it might be good.

Indeed. It is actually just a bit past 11 years now; completely insane. I've never had a job, been in a relationship, or even lived in the same city that long. Thanks Handruin!

Yup. Including disks that I purchased as gifts and gave away. I wonder how that works?

Thanks for that Merc. I've been buying quite a few of each of those lately.

Thanks P5, you've been beating me to the punch quite a bit lately ;)

That amount of data will take ages just to get online and restore from. I've heard of people purchasing a drive locally and then returning it, but I can't recommend that move on principle. But I won't judge if that is what you decide to do ;)

Yup. For some reason I couldn't get one from San Francisco to Austin without issue. Three in a row dead before I just flew there myself and took one carry-on. Had to buy a seat for it. Pre 9/11, of course.

RS7. Yes, please.

And if you ship the servers, before signing for them rotate them once. If you hear a CPU heatsink or RAID card rattling around, refuse receipt. ;)

I'm watching a lot of video on my 2560x1600 monitor these days (driven by a GTX690). What tricks are you doing to get better scaling?

Just ordered neoprene shoe covers. My buddy says they are good to about 15F.

It seems many people in your situation have had luck with a program called EaseUS. I've never tried it myself. If you have another array of sufficient capacity somewhere, I would just use GetDataBack to recover what you can and then reformat.

So it sounds like everything is working except for some possible data corruption. In "My Computer" you can see the drive letter, but when you double-click on it Windows says it isn't formatted? We are nearing the end of my knowledge when we get to filesystems and their integrity. At this point...

The 3TB partition with 1TB free indicates that the capacity expansion worked at least that far, with the only step left being to go into disk amanagement and resize the partition. But you should still be able to get to your data right now. 1. What does your RAID controller say about the array...

The ocean will feel properly warm at least.

I've never heard of such a thing. Though I have experienced many a broken server after a move so I could understand the reasoning. last time I moved a bunch of servers I pulled all the drives, labeled where they went, and moved them myself.

Defending your sanity by comparing yourself to other insane people is a poor defense ;)

No kidding. I'm considering changing from the microfiber socks to cotton ;)

You are commuting on bicycle in -15C?

Love the looks. Except for the rear, fiddly tail lights and giant plastic diffuser-thing. The rest is great. Even the interior looks fantastic. The 7-speed manual is a bit silly, but I don't know if they offer a dual-clutch yet.

I can't help with most of the above, as that isn't how I do it. I just use MakeMKV to rip Bluerays to networked hard drive, I only preserve the main movie, highest quality audio, and any forced subtitles. Playback via Media Player Classic Homecinema.

I think what really did me in was that I had paced the original 32 to be my entire ride, including a sprint at the end, and then decided to tack on another 20. I would have been able to save some from the first ride without affecting my time too much, and managed the rest with less difficulty...

Did my usual 32 mile group ride along the ocean, then decided to ride the 20 miles home solo. That really hurt.

Ended up a beautiful day (60s), but when I was loading my car for the ride and scraping ice off my windshield I felt very foolish.

Going for my bike ride in about 10 minutes....34F presently.

Thanks. I'll try them when I get to work tomorrow.

I was trying to bait one of them....you're already here ;)

You don't need to be a mod, he and Handruin both dropped off after that debate about the Hobbit in 40fps. I'm hoping both return soon.

I have a number of 3-4TB drives kicking around that I could test, just walk me though how to find out.
