Time, we should see new tv announcements from panny next week.

PS3 plays content fine from a Linux box running ps3mediaserver. Gigabit ethernet is fine for performance. You can also copy content from network to ps3 hard drive. What do you mean by content on demand?

Which model ps3 are you talking about? Launch models from 2006 with 90nm cell/gpu can get loud - 200W of heat to reject, especially when upconverting dvds. I have a 40gb model which is 65nm cell and 90nm gpu. It is silent, even running folding at home in it's spare time. The current ps3 model -...

Oops, belated congrats Adcadet!

Yes Lunar it is showing in 2D in many cinemas now and will eventually be available on blu-ray, DVD and eventually cable and free to air television.

Head to Walmart. They have a ton of no contract phones and minutes. If you need the Verizon network then they have ones where you pay a dollar a day and no charge for days you don't use it. About $15 or $20. If you lose it, no biggie.

"Didn't seem to hose anything on my system though." Pretty sad when that can be described as progress on Intel's part Max :)

BTW congratulations! Looks like a sweet TV.

I assume you are talking about a DVD input? Plug in the bunny ears and you should be able to pull in some admittedly low bitrate (max of 18mbit/sec) OTA HDTV in 1080i or 720p. Should look significantly sharper than the DVDs, will do until you pick up a blu-ray player (which can deliver you...

IMAX uses horizontal polarization. RealD 3D uses circular polarization. Dolby 3D puts the costly tech in the glasses - custom filters etc, and apparently has the best results. The circular polarization allows for the dipping of the head etc without ill effects. Be aware there's two types of...

If you have light control in the room then plasma will deliver better blacks. Panasonic g10 is the bees knees.

Well you could always try and kayak by yourself from Australia to New Zealand. (It didn't work out well for the poor bastard).

If it's failing in the same UPS, can you try it in another one? It may be that the charging circuitry etc has been fubared in the current UPS you are having trouble with. If under warranty I would insist on a replacement by APC.

How about down under? Plus several airlines now deliver wifi for pay during flights. I was looking at that "Spot" beacon they advertise for the extreme adventurer, further investigation shows that it's GPS reception is indeed "spotty", and it uses the Globalstar constellation of sats for...

Interesting. I'm guessing you are closer to the boss than the said manager. Personally I have no time for low performers either. I would much rather be able to look at myself in the mirror each morning than work for a tard.

Can I ask why you need a lightlight? Night terrors? I was sure that SureFire used to have this: http://www.surefire.com/SC1-Spares-Carrier But with a very low wattage incandescent bulb. For multiple days of survival lighting. Perhaps something like this: http://www.surefire.com/lightLX2 47...

Do you have a nebulizer at home? Sounds like a course of steroids may be best.

True but how many would have gone titsup from firmware incompetence? They might have needed double the number to bigin with ;)

Just continue to save the pennies for a 4K projector.

Nice. Sounds like the potential for a vacation to actually be a vacation.

http://theovalich.wordpress.com/2009/03/10/samsungs-24-ssd-video-reminds-us-of-all-the-speed-brakes/ Only 2GB/sec in this one :)

Bonus of 3.0 seems to be that in addition to doubling the transfer rate, overhead has gone from 20% to 1.5%

Well we would need to wait for PCI Express 3.0 capable boards at the very least?

Oh absolutely. FDE is not a replacement for backups. But for management, it's the difference between being plastered on the news with a data breach, plus notification to relevant parties etc, and letting someone know that their precious file they've been working on all weekend has gone titsup...

Greg, let me save you the money by saying the 3ware card won't get to 1.5GB/sec, because the controller will give up at far less than that, seems like a max of ~700MB/sec seems likely. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/storage/display/3ware-9690sa.html Notice the processor running at 233MHz...

Whole disk encryption is what my last org went to. There was an initial hit on performance as the drive(s) were encrypted, after that it was seamless to the end users. They just logged on as normal into Windows. If the laptop was stolen, without the login credentials it was junk in terms of...

They will have 3D capability in the smaller models as well. Given it is basically an upgrade to the HDMI transmitter chip in the TV, there is a very small increase in the cost of parts for the manufacturer. There are also the shutter glasses to acquire. The announcement of new products at CES...

http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/17/blu-ray-3d-specifications-finalized-your-ps3-is-ready/ "The Blu-ray 3D specification calls for encoding 3D video using the Multiview Video Coding (MVC) codec, an extension to the ITU-T H.264 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) codec currently supported by all Blu-ray...

See the 9 disc LOTR non extended version announced for April?

So this is in addition to the bags of cash they gave to Dell, that NY State has filed suit about? Crippling the compiler seems like a continuation of their pattern of illegal behaviour.

Greg, it's 120 Hz. If you are not in a big rush hold off till Feb next year. The upcoming gen will accept a 120 Hz input signal, allowing it to display 1080p 3d at 60 Hz - 60 frames to left and right eyes. High bitrate 1080p is delivered via blu-ray.

If you want faster than nv 295 then the 5970 is the one to get. Not quiet though.

The poor headboard.... 5850 gets my vote, a psu upgrade would be easily available I'm assuming. Save the LOTR funds for blu-ray next year.

It's still not possible to get the port density of FC in 10g ethernet. You might be looking at 5 10G ports per switch card, versus upto 48 ports and beyond in 4/8Gbit FC. What's happening is that you can use 10g ethernet in your core network and director switches, and then have FC switches in...

Have you considered a file server running ZFS or somesuch? 20+ drives has to be a management bitch.

Moving to iscsi will limit you to gigabit speeds and below. Prob not an issue unless you are capturing uncompressed video etc. Also SSDs will reveal limitations in controllers that magnetic hdds have trouble hitting. Safe to say things will be "slower" external than direct attached, of course if...

In the ideal case such errors would cause a noticeable problem. Worse is the insidious silent corruption that goes unnoticed.

Decide your IOPS requirements. Add room for growth. Make sure vendor agrees that their proposed solution will meet those reqs, in writing. And of course a SAN is not a replacement for a tested backup solution with offsite storage.

Yeah with redundant power you have to overprovision by 2x. Costly but what is uptime worth to a critical process? Dual Cat 1.5MWs was the biggest I got to play with. Keep a good eye on the batts Dave.

No win 2000 drivers but if you have 2003 or later it's fine. I would suggest a few weeks to get any potential firmware bugs sorted before buying. LSI is widely used in the enterprise sector.

If you go with the 3650, add a dual port Intel gigabit controller. The onboards are insufficient imo.

XP for the win! Trust ms to bugger around with the mbr etc.

If you have dual psus, then dual pdus feeding from duals gens is the next step :)

nvs210 = rebranded shit with open gl support for 3d modelling apps. Nothing new from nvidia there.

Isn't it 32.99 each? The retail kits may include them.

SAS 2.0 controller review: http://xbitlabs.com/articles/storage/display/lsi-megaraid-sas9260-8i.html Using PCI-E 2.0 for maximum bandwidth goodness.

That's crazy prices for one room of lighting. A couple of 8 bulb T5 flo fixtures would be half the price, whilst allowing you to customise the color frequency - mix up 6500 and 4100K tubes etc. Aquarium store should have them for tank lighting to demo

Kodak esp3 aio, the ink cost on this is far below anything else I have seen. Works well for the kids projects, I just print, no raping by epson/HP. $70 at walmart. user replaceable printhead also a plus.

$42 each? http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Technology-CT25664AC800-200-pin-PC2-6400/dp/B001342KM8/ That's not bad in my mind. I will prob stick with the 2GB and upgrade when necessary. If it can play Free Realms it will be perfect.
