    Intel's SSD 910: Finally a PCIe SSD from Intel

    a) not bootable (workstation) b) not a single volume (file server/workstation) c) not currently supported in ESXi (app server) I have no use for it.

    Yup, that sounds about right. Strip clubs are a lot like Disneyland or Renaissance Fairs. They pay (fairly) normal people to act, in order to create an environment that is decidedly not normal. Of course it is when the people start acting normal that things seem weird.

    Quite so. I got a vise/anvil overnight for $4...at least 150lbs.

    Two of the 30"ers would make a nice side screens for a triple-headed setup.

    Laptop Recommendations?

    Tap to click does work, and it does have a 10-key which is awesome. But there is considerable lag/lack of confidence in the touchpad...really awful.

    That your character is strong enough to allow it makes you better than I. I think I've spent 6 months since I was 18 not living with a girlfriend/wife...probably 20 women in all...perhaps half of those were healthy relationships at one point.

    Yup. This is the problem with being someone who is actually a good guy. In my experience, women want to date and mess around with guys that aren't good for them, then suddenly decide that they want to settle down and pick a nice guy. This sucks because you, being a nice guy, have basically no...

    I was reading about these things somewhere else, and the reviews were not awful. I am quite interested.

    Typically if I lose 5 pounds I'll notice the next time I climb stairs or even climb out of the car. That is probably the smallest increment that I can notice without measuring.

    Laptop Recommendations?

    On the newest Lenovo Edge E350 laptops they have done away with the touchpad buttons altogether, just making the bottom of the touchpad clickable. I don't like it at all.

    Paid antivirus

    It does. I hadn't bothered to pin it down to the firewall, just the "kitchen sink" approach to having it monitor/notify/log everything. That still doesn't excuse Norton/McAffee as their AV solutions still lick dog balls, but Norton's corporate solution isn't that slow (still doesn't catch much).

    This is a fun conversation that I have been part of and read many times. Believe me I get it. Discarded information unchanged focal length. End result: The picture that comes out of a 1.6x body with an 85mm lens on it is nearly (but not completely) indistinguishable from a picture taken by a FF...

    I think it will work better on the 1.6x 7D than on a FF...that actually makes it a 136mm/1.2 ;)

    My wife and I were out for our weekend walk along the beach in Carmel-by-the-Sea last night. We tend to split our attention between the ocean and a critique of the houses along the road. One remodel in particular has held our attention, not a large house (property sold for a relatively low...

    Still using NOD32 to great effect. Just be sure to only get their antivirus and not their all-in-one security product. Little added security and a slower machine.

    I have been leaving the soap in the bottle and haven't noticed any issues. Of course, mine is attached to a pressure washer, so it is unlikely anything could stand in the way long. Soap has been in there for about a month so far with a wash about every week.

    Some work on my A3

    The lens is ok. Honestly, there isn't anything it does that isn't done better by either the 50/1.4 or the 17-40/4L, but it is cheap enough to risk with animals and small enough to not intimidate people at events.

    NAS

    Filled a Synology 1812+ with 3TB Seagates I had sitting around (7200RPM). Allowed it to create the default array, which it states as "Synology Hybrid RAID with 1 disk of fault-tolerance). Connected with a single NIC to a GbE switch and I'm getting 99MB/s writes to the array. Not bad at all.

    That would do it. The other thing you can try is plugging the laptop into the ethernet and bridging the wireless and wired NICs into an ad-hoc network. I would just get the router, or configure the S2 to do the wireless hotspot thing if it can.

    Actually it was I who was making that presumption. DVD to VHS is a different matter, as they make single units for that prototype that work great.
