Rode the track yesterday. The hill before the corkscrew is ~15% grade...utterly ridiculous. If you try to spin it out while sitting down the front wheel keeps hopping, if you do it standing up and don't keep the cadence high enough you roll backwards. The race of the evening was a time trial...

My basic fileservers have a single drive for OS+Data with Acronis used to backup the whole thing to the Boss' client machine. That folder is then synced somehow to the boss' house (via VPN if possible, sneakernet if not)

First LOL of the day. Thanks ;)

I intend to. But we were moving in and I needed a quick and dirty fix. Last I talked to him he was working on LED bike lights. I think it was in a thread around here somewhere. Nope. When I realized that the heater in the house wasn't usable, and that we didn't have the money to install the...

Never seen them here, either. Here it is just bums lying about their car breaking down or not having money for gas. I do actually require the services of a glass chip repair guy, but I've been too lazy to bother. The day I bought my car I got a chip on the drive home. Another happened last week...

1. Welcome to StorageForum! 2. Your project sounds fascinating. Not unlike something that I was trying to do while remodeling a while ago. (Didn't do it due to time constraints, but still interested) 3. JTR is the guy around here who knows this stuff, but I haven't seen him in a while. Last I...

Buck and Lunar are your best bets.

Mine refers to it as "your storage guys". Forum is too technical a term. Then again, mine also has no issue with strippers. But I did have to promise to take her the next time I end up at a strip club.

Thanks for that. I never plan to track the car, and as far as a single stop from 130mph goes, even the stock are fine. Just looking for something light. A 5+lb weight savings would be worth consideration.

I have no idea how much any of these kits weight. I'm just having a hard time getting my mind around the thought that a bigger set of brakes would weigh less.

Seem to have fixed the stability issues, but these work unit results are 200MB+, and the upload is timing out before completion on the slow internet link it's attached to. Great. More testing is obviously required ;)

Just for the record, total including installation and CA taxes came to $2643.15. ETA 4-8 weeks.

I'm old enough to like the sound deadening on my daily driver, thanks ;) I do intend to do some engine mods after the warranty is gone (16k miles and counting), but in the meantime I would like to keep some kind of steady progress. Removing weight (especially unsprung weight) just seems to be...

Forgestar F14 18x8.5 ET48 Square Setup in Gunmetal with Powder Coat Finish and Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 in 225/40ZR18 ordered from Sonic Motorsports. Now I'm looking for other ways to save weight. Carbon Ceramic brakes? Carbon Fiber body panels? I have the Open Sky roof (all glass) that...

I listen to a lot of public radio, but it isn't like they don't have commercials. Sure they have less, but the time they spend announcing sponsors or asking for donations (don't get me started on pledge drives) is basically a commercial. In this world of digital internet stuff you would think...

Hardly. Before using Pandora, I hadn't purchased any music in many years. I started using their free service when it came out, and started liking what they recommended so much that I bought it (Amazon MP3). When they limited their free service to 40 hours a year I went onto their paid service...

No, I wish I could. If I could get the deal Stereodude got I would try, but it would still be a mistake financially. I've got another 1200mi before my next service, and about that long on my current set of Conti DW. When I take it in for the service I'll switch to the F14s (possibly with that...

And of course Audi today sent me a full color catalog/photo book along with a $3000 discount certificate (standard practice, the first Audi we bought exactly 3 years ago).

Same here

Yeah, plus a dozen pairs of 3D shutter glasses at $100 each. And the fiber optic HDMI cable. And the rest of it. I could probably have paid cash for my dream Audi for the cost of just the system upgrade.

Still battling stability issues with that machine. After tweaking memory speeds and voltages it now randomly reboots instead of hard locks.

Not much of an issue? That sucks.

Indeed. Fortunately we aren't doing anything too crazy (I hope). Still waiting for the accountant to spell things out.

Let me create a VM environment first and see what I can. Once I know even what questions I should be asking I might be back for that. Thanks Merc.

Awesome. Beating me to all the good stuff. What tires do you plan on going with?

Anyone here? We're deploying QBPOS, importing inventory and customer data, then integrating it with an existing QuickBooks Pro dataset. Just have some questions about how this merging of data might go, particularly regarding vendors. Thanks!

Remembering to bring the album with you. I love that I can roll in somewhere with an internet connection, and start listening to music that I like.

Yes, but they usually don't give them admin rights...do they?

Grr. I just ordered the 120GB OCZ because it was the biggest mSATA on Newegg...

What a bunch of idiots.

The Jameson 18 Limited Reserve went into the collection at the same time as the Macallen 15. I prefer either of them to any of the other Irish or Scotch whiskeys I have tried yet. The other night I tried an Islay malt (Lagavulin) and it was awful. When "wet dog" is an intentional tasting note...

Sweet. And at under $5/GB...not bad in that performance segment. I have yet to put a storage subsystem that expensive in a workstation, and I doubt ESXi supports it.

Everything is going micro, but I prefer mini as well.

Just got the DLA-RS65 fully set up, it is an amazing unit. It actually gives you independent control over the red and blue alignment (in relation to the green) in a massive set of zones across the display. Amazingly bright, but the big kicker is the contrast ratio (120,000:1), the blacks on the...

I've been half-looking for a wireless audio transmitter, something that can connect to my existing earbuds and existing audio source.

From what I know of heat sinks, this vapor chamber ideal looks exactly the same (except the shape). Am I missing something?

The bulk of my experience was knowing people socially who happened to have that profession. As a matter of fact, the first time I went to a strip club was to visit. That was interesting.

The strippers I've know know their way around a bar...it's the ones without experience that end up cooked.

Robert Reich (4'11") and Alan Simpson (6'7") standing next to each other is pretty funny. They had a great discussion.

At $300 over invoice, I don't think even the nastiest of surprises would push you above an optimistic MSRP.

Best of luck. I have no experience with either, but have occasionally desired some Cisco knowledge.

That is awesome. I am quite envious at the moment.

Vodka and Tonic is excellent, Vodka and fruit juice is fine. Vodka and Red Bull should be considered highly destructive (worse than many controlled substances) and should not be stocked at the same time.

If you really want to show sophistication, and happen to find the right girl, I just started a bottle of Macallan 15yr that is excellent. Every girl I know who knows Single Malts has been worth knowing.

It depends on how you want to go. The good news is that most of it never goes bad (and in fact may get better). Since you won't be consuming it regularly, you may as well get good stuff and represent a solid collection. Wine: Cabernet Sauvignon (red) Chardonnay (white) Beer: Ask someone else...

Nope. Went to one of the team members houses (who lived in Belgium at one point). One of the other team members actually competed there last year, so his commentary on the course was interesting.

Paris-Roubaix race was today, went out with the bike team to watch and drink Belgian beer. Worshiping a zombie does not interest me.

Thanks to time, timwhit, and sechs for contributing 4000+ posts to the community. Your insight and knowledge are much appreciated!

Following in the age-old internet tradition of not answering the question you are asking and instead questioning the premise, I'll point out that your requirements: Low price Won't travel Primary for family Take abuse ...really calls out for a desktop. Keep the expensive bits away from the...

I think it is further downstream than that. Even giving the host 20GB+ of RAM and making the drives SSDs doesn't change things much.
