Interesting App. Of the last 236+ hours, 70% was deep-sleep and 22% was 384MHz. 2% at 1512MHz and rounding error in the rest of the states.

My brother-in-law and I once did a similar calculation. He needed emergency power for the blower on his pellet stove, and we thought it would be cool to have a weight decend the double-height entryway in case of emergency. He only needed a couple hours of power, but we calculated the weight as...

The Google App has worked so much better than the rest for so long I don't know anyone that is using anything else.

Even LED isn't there yet for LCD backlights; the U3011s I have still use tubes to get better color rendition. IIRC, tri-color LEDs in the backlight can work but are more expensive and more power hungry than the tubes. The Nexus 10 is undoubtedly the best tablet screen ever, but still has a long...

JTR, you really are missing something sticking with 1024 compared to 1600...the difference is pretty huge.

Wow that is some money. I'll just stick with 2560x1600 tiled horizontally (2x 1280x1600 is very useful)

That is a tricky thing you have going. If you can, I suspect the easiest way to go about it would be to back up your P: drive elsewhere and delete the partition from the 750GB drive entirely. Then just do a whole drive copy to the SSD (it will resize as needed).

Woah, Coug stepped up his game....

3.0 Thumb Drive. Not sure what a horse drive is?

The Corsair Flash Voyager GT 128GB can in fact sustain 140MB/s writes and much faster reads. Awesome.

Indeed. At least mine is 1600 tall.

21:9 ratio, 2560x1080 resolution, 29"

It is just a stupid filter. Worst case scenario close the road to vehicle traffic.

I'm sure they are also subject to some level of data mining. But what would my company care? Does anyone who has access to the un-anonomized data care about construction in central California? And once it is filtered and aggregated it doesn't matter anymore.

I suppose it depends on your definition of sensitive. My company is completely OK with data being on the web, knowing that competitors will have just as hard a time breaking into Google as into a local exchange server (guessing passwords). The government will get in with a court order anyway...

Good thing you put the smiley in there, otherwise you would merely be stating a common belief.

At some scale it becomes cheaper to run in-house, but some things Google will always be better at. 1. SPAM detection (largest sample size, largest man-hour investment) 2. AV (same reasoning) 3. Uptime (multiple datacenters, distributed storage, etc)

I think the reason I enjoy 11foot8 so much is that stupid doesn't get punished enough in our society. Too often smart people take crazy measures to accommodate stupid people. But that far south of the Mason-Dixon I suspect there is a shortage of smart people to take said measures...

I'm actually pretty stoked that my new motherboard (ASUS P9 X79 WS) has a header for a serial port on it.

Not according to the current announcement. Unless they make further changes we are still in for free. I even got many domains in when free was 25 users ;) And my paid accounts are being charged @ $50/user/year currently.

Google does indeed have a massive concentration of our data, and using them for e-mail/docs gives them more, but as Merc says it is a lot of work to get something nearly as good. Not worth it for less than a couple hundred accounts at least.

What makes you want to leave Google?

The gtx690 can produce an insane amount of of heat. I would treat it with a lot of respect.

I can vouch for CS6 on Win8 as well.

Awesome. Both the accomplishment and the results.

Currently considering the Samsung HT-E5500W. Looks to be the right size and offer the right number of inputs. I also think the wireless bridge to the rear speakers would allow actual surround sound in their (rental) house.

Hoping for some advice here, a friend has a limited space and needs a receiver and blu-ray player. The space is too small both in terms of height and depth to fit a standard receiver. I was hoping for some kind of integrated thing. If not integrated, there is enough room for two short/shallow...

That is a wacky failure mode if I've ever heard one. What ever happened to Intel's story of drives simply entering read-only mode when the cells can't be written to? I've yet to hear of one that failed that cleanly.

Quite so. Panels of even, high-CRI light would be fantastic.

Interestingly enough, any slot lags the machine at the start of a WU. Pausing the primary does seem to fix the issue regardless of which slot is starting a new WU. I'm not going to stop folding, or even reduce production by 25%, but eventually fixing it would be nice.

Having an issue where every time a new WU is started my machine nearly freezes/studders for a couple minutes. To the point where Pandora starts and stops every couple seconds and the mouse is largely unresponsive. With 4 GPUs this is more than once an hour. If I can get the FAHControl up, I can...

The pricing is not dependent on cost, but on demand.

I suspect that putting that much airflow through your case and air not being enough to clean it are directly related. I've never had a case where that was the case.

Joke. Don't know who started it.

Quite so. I also use them at home (that actually is my home config at the moment). I've been using full PCs running Smoothwall as the router of choice for all my sites, but I'm looking into cheaper durable options. Routerboards can be pretty cheap (this is the most powerful version they make, in...

What with the current storm, the elevator has been put on hold. I did get the watercooling rig put together last night though ;) I'll second both of Merc's comments. That the Netgear R6x00 routers are good home routers, and that all home routers suck.

Dunno. Not a full review or anything. Just a comment I wanted to throw out there. I didn't add any fans, but I did relocate the one from the front of the upper drive cage to the back of the lower cage. I honestly can't imagine using any more; I believe that having more airflow than needed just...

I just moved the NAS enclosures to the top of my server rack. I have enough UPS capacity to handle about 6 hours if I'm not gaming. I do work for a construction company, so some small disasters could help the business I suppose.

Thirded.

Routerboard RB1100AHx2 and Ubiquiti UniFi AP Pro ;) Nice compromise between the enterprise stuff and the consumer. Less than $1k.

I agree with Merc that from any HDD to any SSD is a considerable improvement, but SSD to SSD is far harder to tell. I doubt I could do it in a proper double-blind test. Just went from hardcore PCIe SSD to Vertex 4 in my workstation and can't tell at all.

I'm now running Windows8 on my main home machine, and with Start8 installed and configured correctly can use it just as a Windows7 machine.This isn't a big deal at all.

The main intersection near my house flooded so deep a Prius was up to the door handles when it failed. No explosion, though. The on-ramp I use to get to work is under construction, and the shoring looks to have failed. Not sure if the road will still be open when I head back. The local boy...

The NZXT Switch 810 is the best case I have ever worked on at any price. And the onscreen keyboard in Win8 is ok as well.

Not if you stand on your head...

And I'm getting flash flood warnings on my phone, but it isn't serious around here.

I hold this opinion as well, but my thoughts on it are that if they say it cures cancer, it might be good for indigestion. Even ionized water has a decent scientific argument, but not for making you live to 120.

Exactly. When you see those, we'll have some work to do ;)

What I still want is higher CRI. The LEDs that jtr wired up for my latest project were supposed to be some of the best, but next to 98CRI florescents of the same color temp there is clearly some missing/exaggerated spectrum going on. It just isn't as nice to look at. I suspect that these color...

Not today. Good thing, as it was way too windy and cold. That was a moment when the clouds opened up; most of the time you couldn't see 30' up the tower from the ground.
