It actually is still running, the client wants 64GB of RAM instead of the measly 32GB that is in the box now. Hopefully that will arrive tomorrow. I am not getting all the money I spent for the parts originally, but I am getting current market value for the parts. Lost about $3k I'd imagine; I...

Interesting. Did he voice his reasoning? Was he drunk?

Instagram seems to be causing people to make their blurry pictures with poor color rendition even blurrier and with worse color. Is anyone else noticing this?

I'd assume that the VM establishes an encrypted link (VPN?) with the server independent of the host, and maintains its own AV and the like. Not completely secure, but neither is anything else given to a user.

Done. After being the 122nd most productive user (with only one machine) for a while, this machine is finally going down. Coug only needs to make up a bit over a million points to get his spot back.

Not THAT plank...put that peashooter back in ye britches...

The mSATA form factor costs more than standard SATA, and the M4 is one of very few drives available.

So would I (in fact I did), but Lunar tends to work with laptops, so I linked the one that would fit.

Nope, neither cares about the consumers. They care about their customers, which are the not the consumers.

You mean like this?

Meh, if the performance benefit is substantial I can go to $500. These will never be at a loud level, but fidelity at low volumes across the frequency range is important.

Budget would be about the same as yours. They would sit on either side of my main monitor (42" LED-LCD TV) so they could be fairly large. Distance from them to my ears would be about 2'. My main interest in having them so close is that it will seem much louder to me than anyone walking past my...

I have an office, and am considering moving the Onkyo NR-808 in there, and have already put in a bunch of acoustic treatment. I just don't know what speakers to put in to replace the Klipsch 2.1 system I've had for over a decade. Looking for something good in the near-field with a strong low-end...

It requires the the SDK be installed of your computer to work, and the SDK is only available over steam, but I doubt you would need steam to be running to use the SDK in this capacity.

I agree that PCIe is the better interface for stuff, but this seems like an unnecessary complication. Surely we just need a PCIe cable, and then can hang drives (or GPUs, audio cards, etc) off of it. Why make this specific for drives?

I haven't had time to pull the system yet. It may be mid-next week.

I also like that is has a web-based GUI front-end that is capable of launching a console. When their wireless devices became popular they even released a (free!) client app that was able to monitor and configure many links at once. That would be awesome.

They are probably like jeeps in that respect. Full of potential, but sure to go wrong. The only hope is that the stories are worth it.

More excited than I should be about this. Of course Ubiquiti is notorious for launching before any product is in the channel, and their pricing is so disruptive that it is impossible to get any for months.

Useful tool. Funny videos. Awesome post.

That does suck for you, Coug. When I took my current full-time job it paid 50% of my average while consulting, but as Merc has mentioned, that piece of mind means a lot. Now I am tempted with other positions that pay better, but with my current position I know it is mine until I die or the...

Sorry to hear that. It will actually be a close call, as this machine will be leaving over the weekend. It was a good (but very expensive) run.

And I just ordered a 960GB Revo3 X2. Just over $1/GB.

Enjoying your last days as #2 on the team, Coug? The sale of this box is finally pending, but I don't think it will go out for another week at least ;)

Can't blame them, I'm sure it is their hosting partners that are the bottleneck. There aren't too many OC-12s available to test against ;)

That is the backbone of one of my ISPs. I had my laptop jacked in for a while and had some fun. The link is actually good for 500/300, but apparently speedtest.net becomes unreliable at these speeds.

;)

I believe that the park/unpark procedure can happen so quickly that it doesn't need to wait for you. It detects a falling (likely low-g) situation and parks until it is stable again and then resumes. The dialog is just telling you it is working, not waiting for you to interact in any way.

I bet that 1" cube will hold a book to a refrigerator.

Levitation was always my favorite. Particularly if you had enough to build a maglev track of sorts.

I'm in complete agreement. If you care about quality more than price, the T-series is a nice place to be. I have two of them myself.

Disassembled/Cleaned/Rebuilt the bike tonight, it can be a very zen thing. I fitted the new K-Edge Garmin mount and K-Edge GoPro mount, swapped out my water bottle cages for ones that grip a little tighter, and replaced my blown rear tube/tire. Very relaxing. Then managed 20mph on city streets...

That is awesome. I wonder if they need to take any special precautions to ship these things? Put them in a cardboard construction large enough that the field strength outside the box is reasonable? Special labeling? Edit: Though if you are going to ruin something that expensive, you may as well...

Magnets are like lasers....fun until someone loses something ;)

Yup, their website mentions that. It also recommends the bike for 1 year of age and older. And my wife has already set the speed limit with trailer at 30mph. Oh, well.

I know that eating bugs is supposed to help their immune system, I figure I can assist that. Nothing like one going up the nose at 30mph. ;)

Sweet. I wonder how old the kid should be before I give them a taste of speed ;)

Looks good. How to you attach the CX1 to the Nishiki?

18.5kg? That is more than double my bike, with lights and two full water bottles.

Got in a good night ride tonight, but I may have been pushing myself a bit hard: Z1 - Endurance 0-114 0:34 1% Z2 - Moderate 114-151 10:56 12% Z3 - Tempo 151-169 10:41 12% Z4 - Threshold 169-188 18:14 20% Z5 - Anaerobic 188+ 52:26 56%

ThinkGeek sells a great Ti spork, but it doesn't have USB. That would just be weird.

I appreciate the info, and that states some things that I thought I knew in another way that does make them easier to understand. My biggest question at the moment is a port either tagging or untagging. How could it do one and not the other? Don't I need packets tagged as they come in and...

I can't seem to understand this properly, and need some help. I have several wireless links chained together linking some of our offices. These links are inside out network, post-firewall, and are tying a bunch of small offices together for network and internet access purposes. At one end of...

Friend's wedding in San Francisco. He has this ability to complicate things more than most women I know.

when I'm traveling and have that issue I fall back to snickers bars and coke. you can get them anywhere and they are always safe.

I'm pretty sure it was the smoked beef carpaccio that has inspired my sudden weight loss. Shame, I love that restaurant.

Nothing, apparently my brain likes to invent stuff so I can look like a fool. I don't think it needs to try so hard.

After that the second letter goes lower case, IIRC.

This is the same as mine, note the pins in the top-right.

Of course there are no guarantees in life, but if your stopping distance is worse than the person in front of you, you really are helpless. I would not put myself in that position on purpose.
