I'm using the vSphere client to connect to a vCenter server, so it is all there.

The last hardcore gamers rig I built was for someone well over 60. She ran a WoW clan.

As all my servers are VMs, I just have the vSphere client running on a workstation with the "performance" tab displaying some pretty graphs.

99.99% of the electricity you put into it is converted directly to heat. Close enough to perfect that you are at a 1:1 ratio of electricity in and heat out. Heat pumps don't create heat, they move it from one place to another. As such, you can get 3 or 4 times the heat out that you put in as...

Actually, the problem is carbon monoxide. Odorless and colorless, you won't know anything is wrong until you pass out, and then die a bit later on. In order to vent well enough to prevent it, you'd be letting in enough air to make the heating irrelevant in the first place.

Electric resistance heaters are all 99.99% Efficient at heating. This is also the efficiency of a computer or lightbulb at heating. The problem is that no electric resistive source of heat is very efficient. You need to go gas or heat pump or insulate to bring your bill down considerably.

It hadn't started raining yet.. That's when I slowed down.

Today was a tough ride, for no other reason than a 30mph sustained wind gusting to 45mph. Slogging against it on the way out was a bear, but I was able to maintain 60mph for 30 seconds on the way back. That is pretty intense at night on country roads with overcast skies.

Did Samsung really release a technology called HomoLED? That might not be the best marketing strategy...

Me too. I haven't had any PCIe SSD fail, but I would feel better if it were an intel drive.

...or not.

The Patriots made three nearly consecutive screwups in the last minute of play. They clearly didn't deserve to win.

Yes, but at least he's been self consistent.

That is actually a really nice ride. If they weren't so expensive I'd be considering one. As most of my flights are over land I don't worry so much about engine failure; from 5k+ feet in the air with a little planning, there is always somewhere safe to put down. People don't seem to realize...

If they didn't price-in the habits of the CEO, they were idiots. This isn't even the first time he's crashed a plane.

He liked to fly experimental aerobatic aircraft that he built himself. That is not a sport for the timid.

The roads here are pretty good, and my bike has a built in suspension of sorts (Roubaix). So it wouldn't get that much of a workout.

I'd agree. I would even consider it bridging from below the stem to the top of the fork in a vertical arrangement. I have access to a full machine shop (and skilled people to use it), so would likely talk to those guys about it anyway. I ride about 2 hours a night every night, so the charging...

One of my clients has migrated essentially to a work-from-home arrangement. They still keep their office, but no one is ever there. The combination of GMail-based e-mail, remote desktop to their workstation, phone forwarding to their cell, and faxes delivered as PDFs to a folder on a share mean...

The space inside is basically a cylinder 1.25" tall and 4" in diameter. I can lose the dimming, and the enclosure is machined aluminum, so no heat sink necessary if it is laid out right. Does this get me closer to possible?

I have a temporary 300lm Light&Motion unit arriving in a week. If you want to test some units in the field, I can certainly oblige. Or I can wait for a production unit (if they are good, knowing you they will be, then I can try to sell the team on them (~30 units).

Another LED lighting project. This one isn't nearly as complex, as I plan on building them from scratch myself. The only trick is that I still want the source to be dimmable via a regular 120v dimmer. The fixture is going to be very compact and only have a single bulb (something like this...

Just checking in again, I hope all is well?

Yeah, I've only got 2. There's your 18 drives right there ;)

...says the guy with tons of L glass :p

$420 is a bit steep ;)

That I am interested in.

Indeed. Here we just say that someone "pops" if they've tried a break and couldn't pull it off. The main reason for having a heart-rate monitor is to make sure you don't pop. Of course, on this ride, I wasn't wearing it. The problem was that I wasn't listening to my body; I just knew that I...

Today's ride hurt quite a bit. Decided to ride out to a friend's house for some computer work. Only 15 miles each way, but the ride there was just brutal. For some reason I was out of breath and working super hard while going super slow. I didn't notice until the return trip that is was...

Or they are pedophiles. It used to be that you had to be a priest or coach, now you can be TSA.

He stated it in another thread.

Happy Birthday Greg!

Mobile doesn't necessarily mean airborne ;)

A physical Apple store can take care of initial setup for you. If you e-mailed yourself a .cbr, did it recognize and let you do anything?

Sounds good to me.

I have a user with no computer at all (thence no iTunes). It seems like a nice way to go. Not good for a hacker or a geek, but if that is the case you don't want an iThing anyway.

This would get my vote.

My money is on the 6128.

In my experience, the Kindle Fire is not the quickest UI out there, and it seems to really make a difference with the feel. It may even affect the prediction capabilities? It would make sense that a machine with less horsepower would be less capable.

Nearly identical in my (limited) experience. Some androids are faster than others. I have always wished for swype on iPad, and apparently it is possible.

The same integration the iPeople get? Controlling music playback through the steering wheel controls maybe?

Now typing this with SwiftKey on the transformer. The idea that it personalises predictions based on usage is nice. Pulling that data from your accounts is clever, but I am not giving it access to my Gmail account. It isn't anywhere near as quick as swype yet, but but I'm willing to test it for...

That does look nice. Not compatible with 1.5 though :(

Swype is awesome. I don't think I would use a tablet or phone that didn't support it or something similar.

I don't think that ruling will survive the supreme court ( at least I hope not). Best to use an encryption method that supports plausible deniability anyway. That adds a whole other layer of fifth amendment rights that should be more defensible.

Except that the only internet at her home is 3G or Satellite. Her driveway alone is several times longer than the allowable distance of either cable or DSL. Even the local wireless internet provider would require us to erect a 100'+ tall mast. She owns a ranch. It is pretty big. Edit: I...

I moved someone from Pair Networks to GoDaddy just because it plays well with Google Apps. Can't say it is the cheapest, and their recent support for SOPA would have caused me to look elsewhere, but it did work well.

I have a housecall on Wednesday, a user that has no computer or dedicated internet connection; only an iPad with built-in 3G. The only issues she has had is using Skype for video.

Nah, I have preview programs that I can use already, I was just hoping not to have to use them. I do appreciate the effort, though.
