Considering the factory 18s I currently have are 30lbs each, that is still a heck of an improvement.

Should arrive Thurs along with the Gigabyte board to fit it and 64GB of RAM.

Anyone who needs lots of cores really needs lots of computing power. I'm having a hard time thinking of a scenario where many slow cores is the preferred solution. Perhaps if ESXi wasn't so good at sharing cores between VMs it would be a reasonable application?

I don't go anywhere but here anymore. I do Slashdot, but keeping in mind the cattle mentality combined with the (charitably) crassness that anonymity brings out in some people. APR does seem to be the most user-friendly of the aftermarket companies, and has the most comprehensive selection...

Somebody indeed. Time to go shopping...

Yeah, this is probably the tipping point to get me into the brand-new direct-connect with Android 2.3 (woo)!

I'm not talking about unlimited capacity, simply sufficient capacity to prevent throttling 90% of the time would be significantly better than what we have now.

I suspect it is just my crappy phone (Android 1.5 - Opera browser, the built-in browser crashes on the new site and FF isn't compatible this far back). It even sent me back to the top when I pressed "reply" then ate my post after I has scrolled all the way back to the bottom!

I'm with Merc on this as a likely MB issue. The only other thing I'd point to would be the PSU, but 90% motherboard / 10% PSU sounds about right.

Not working for me, though that would be great if it did.

Handruin @ 9000 posts, in addition to all the maintenance stuff. Thanks for all your hard work!

Seconded. This also means that even if all you do is install updates you will be screwed within a year.

Can I put in a request that clicking on a thread in the mobile app jump to the new posts? IIRC, this was the behavior in the old version.

I suspect that will be a very standard resolution for tablets and the like by the time 8 ships.

None last summer. I suspect that the recession resulted in residents staying in their un-AC'd homes rather than climate-controlled offices.

No, it is a hypothetical. If the telephone company actually owned such a small amount of infrastructure that you couldn't get a dial-tone any time you wanted, the government would step in and make them build a decent product. Extending that, the ISPs (particularly cellular) are saying that...

If people who had phone service regularly picked up their receivers and couldn't get a dial-tone due to overprovisioning, the FCC would be all over the telcos. If overprovisioning is perceptible by the user, it is an error on the carrier's part that they need to rectify.

Bandwidth caps are such a silly idea.

There are AMEX cards without limits, but you need to have some serious bank before they'll offer you one (especially now). Most AMEX cards just offer lots of benefits (protection, insurance, points, etc) but still have limits.

I only have one body, so like for like is DSLR to DSLR. More MP, better DOF control, lower noise, better AF, better viewfinder. The only thing worse is the continuous shooting speed.

Some people have been making some noise about wanting to buy my 7D...this would be a worthy upgrade.

I'm digging the icons right now...thanks Handruin!

"I see you like things that consume electricity: try this out!" ;)

I appreciate that, but it was a bit much. Thanks for all your efforts.

Finally got a machine to show perfect 7.9s in the Win7 performance after an upgrade to my work machine.

Just as a test, I'll put a link in the middle of a sentence and see if it stands out. Edit: That looks pretty good to me, though the body text might be a little too black if I were to nit-pick. ;)

Perhaps we can have hyperlinks underlined? Or again dial up the blue to make them more distinguishable? On my P-series Dell screens it isn't an issue, but I was just on a crappy Acer 22" and links practically disappeared.

Four BG LA-800 (left/right front, left/right side) Four BG SA-360 (left/right front, left/right side, above the LAs) One BG CC-400 (center) Two BG SS-303 (right/left rear) Four massive Subs that I can't get to (at least 14", built into cabinetry) Oh, and five Buttkicker Amps driving the 12...

Something interesting about this system that I just noticed. The quality/tone/balance of the system doesn't change at all regardless of volume. That is pretty neat. I'm used to turning up the volume causing an increase and then drop off in the low frequencies...not here at all.

Not sure about the speakers, they are covered by custom grilles that match the upholstered walls. Some I might be able to have a look from the back side. The statues are Oscars (one legit, the rest replicas).

You missed the main concept I was after, but that makes me think that the way I browse the forum is different than other might. Let me spell out my method: 1. On the main page, see if there are any new posts in a forum. The easiest way to check this is if the icon stands out from the background...

From Pandora through the analog out of my Lenovo X201 to a Theta Digital Casablanca III to several kW of Theta Digital Dreadnaught II amps to an army of equally ridiculous speakers in an acoustically treated room. Sounds pretty good despite the weak source, not a bad stereo ;)

Yup, I was running 3x16GB when SSDs first came out. Now I let the RevoDrive handle the RAID goodness.

I would prefix that with "for stuff that matters", The password I use here is the same as a few other (equally non-critical) places.

Yup, I have one of those as well. Special PCI card with direct interface to the software will make virtualizing it very difficult.

For Santilli, a friend's family in Panama likes to surf...

I'm glad I decided to run with Win7...it will hold the company up until at least version 9. We did the following 98->XP->7 (with the majority of the users still on XP and the last 98 box going away a month or so ago).

Fine with me, or just up the saturation of the blue a little. The grey will blend pretty well with the existing background already.

Might I propose: Contains unread posts: Blue open envelope Contains no unread posts: Grey closed envelope Locked: Padlock You have posted in this thread: Green arrow I don't think we have a need for anything else.

19" and 20" wheels also give you less sidewall and a much harsher ride, in addition to weighing more costing more and being more fragile. Going from the stock A3 suspension and 17" wheels on my wife's car to the Ti (lower) suspension and 18" wheels on mine was a significant change. I wouldn't be...

Could be grey, but it is certainly a tone compressed image, so not trustworthy for such things. I've never seen a matte PC, so I didn't know they existed.

Yup, the regular icons are too similar/confusing, so I just look for the blue arrow now. ;)

Everyone else followed suit, there was no way to compete with Apple's form factor otherwise, and people that don't know don't care.

I'm now having 40GB SSDs fill just due to Win7 and Office2010 updates, even with all data kept elsewhere. 80 would be my minimum recommendation, with 160 giving you a nice quick place to work with images.

So look for open envelopes? I just look for the "jump to new posts" button now.

I like the matte black as well, I don't think there is any way to get that with a power coat finish, though. Edit: And that blue is really nice.

That is a significant drop. I would be seriously concerned about ride quality with that little suspension travel.

I don't use x10, I use Insteon. I've kitted out my whole house with stuff from SmartHome.

Do you intend to replace the 2 500GB drives with the two 1TB drives? Or simply use the new drives for more storage?

Wow, I had no idea that was even an issue. I thought that the wheels always hung from the lugs. Thanks for the info!
