Interesting thing happened on the ride tonight. 9PM, on an empty dark road, riding solo fairly quickly. The crank arm separated from the left side of the bike. I'm still clipped in, so the pedal and crank arm are dangling from my foot. Got to ride the two miles home with a single leg...that is...

The usual. PM if interested.

Sketch-up would be the free option. I'm currently designing my own desk using SolidWorks. Mine isn't folding, but it is 11' wide, 20" deep, and cantilevered off the wall only on the ends.

No more than theft of any other trailer. There are systems commercially available to reasonably protect a trailer from theft.

The 18 formatted to around 15.

Not a thing. It would be fun to play with for a week or so, then I would just shut it down to avoid the colossal power bill. It would help me get on top of the F@H team pretty quick though.

Indeed. According to their changelog, they've released 3 updates in that time.

When I had the game center, my favorite games were the BF series. Starting with 1942, then Vietnam, then BF2. All of them worked fine, including key switching and all kinds of other trickery. 2142 was a PITA, but it wasn't very popular so I didn't sweat it much. The BF3 open beta is now rock...

Here is a company that will take care of you. 60 cores and 2TB RAM with 2 300GB drives for $75k. It would be interesting having a machine with (significantly) more RAM than HDD

Indeed. That they have finally built a drive that nearly matches the X25-E is not what I wanted to hear. Let's see what Intel can do when they get to roll their own all the way to the PCIe interface.

To get the info? No. To use it in court? Yes.

Of course, my biggest concern is the insurance agencies. The police will obviously need a warrant.

The geek aspect of having ODBII-type information\programming on my phone certainly appeals. I must admit I'm slightly concerned from a security standpoint. The ability to anyone on the internet being able to unlock and start my car does have a downside. IIRC, the first implementations of this...

Haven't seen them in person, but I saw several images online, including in some people's ears. My ears are fairly large, and I ordered a bunch of different sizes of the the Comply plugs, so I'm not too worried about it.

I just want to know if it supports triple crossfire ;)

time has some fine suggestions. I can personally second the U2711, as I went from a pair of 21" to that and it has worked great. Particularly if you are using Windows 7 and can use the "Win+Left" and "Win+Right" shortcuts.

Just paid 2.5x as much....should be here Monday.

Less than $5k? Wow. My boss was looking for a new TV for the living room (the current unit is only 46"). Considering any change in size would require the custom cabinet work to be redone, and that the cost of that would be double this TV, I don't see why we shouldn't go there.

The "System Management" ones allow you to control the machine remotely, even in the BIOS. The rest are RAID cards or RAID expanders.

It is all about latency. L1 cache - 1ns DDR3 - 10-40ns SSD - 100000ns

The only way to increase cache hits for reads is to make it smarter or bigger. Making the read cache >1% of the total drive size is quite generous compared to most, and would probably work quite well with some decent software making the predictions. Of course, my largest corporate (many...

I've bought loads from them, but I've never had a reason to contact them. Still no failures. Perhaps I should fake something just to feel them out?

Got my BF3 open beta invite, but the game is so buggy it is amazing. The rounds only last a couple minutes, but I'm lucky to get through 20% of them without crashing out. I think I'll just sit out until they clean it up a bit more.

I ended up buying a Boxee Box for the back room. It has handled everything I've thrown at it, from MakeMKV'd BluRays to TPB'd Formula One races. It's wireless range sucks, but that doesn't matter as wireless isn't capable of high quality HD content anyway. Merc, that does sound like fun...

B3, I think you are right about the speed difference between the HDD and the caching drive. I don't have any of those "green" drives in operation anywhere.

If you have enough RAM it doesn't make any difference IMHO.

It would make an excellent cache drive to a 100TB+ array. I can only imagine how well that would perform, and reliability would be much less of an issue.

An interesting proposition. All that really needs to be able to be done is direct mapping of NICs to the VM without any NAT or other junk. I physically have a "Red" and "Green" NIC that only talk to the VM, a cable goes from the "Green" to the switch and then back to a NIC that is on the host...

I won't touch a CyberLink product, either. But Avid has a good reputation in the pro world.

I don't know if it would. There are some complex network setup and partitioning bits to keep it secure.

I've never used the XP Mode VM ;)

I haven't used in-ear anything in quite a while. I think I'll start with the Comply NR-10 just to see if it works for me long-term. If it works for me, I'll probably end up with the Shure SE530. These should also work well when I'm flying, combined with my Bose QuietComfort 2 / uFlyMike...

Thanks Stereo, that is what I was afraid of.

Interesting to see if anyone takes that to the next logical step, offering a "5TB backup drive*" that is in fact a 500GB drive that acts as cache to a "cloud" backup service.

My Google Fu is weak today, or perhaps I just don't know the right terminology. I'd appreciate a hand if anyone is up for a challenge. Looking for an audio extension cable. 1/4" Right-angle male to 3.5mm straight female, stereo, 12'-15' Amazon would be awesome, Monoprice or Newegg would be...

See: Aventador ;)

The difference is you can leave the noisy, heavy part at home when you don't need it. That helps the EV range and performance considerably.

The best cooling I've achieved was with my old "coffin" build. I managed to eliminate the bank of fans at the bottom and top by adding custom cut foam blocks to the lid. These blocks were designed to keep all the air within an inch of the electronic parts by consuming all the unused space. In...

Drove to Lake Tahoe this weekend. Stayed at the Boss' condo in Northstar and drove my wife and mother-in-law around the whole lake. Just got home.

An interesting theory I heard the other day. We are all traveling at the speed of light all the time. Any velocity not consumed in the x-y-z axis are consumed as we pass through time. Therefore the faster we go in x-y-z (space) the slower we go through time.

The TripleFi 10vi was down to $99? Are we talking about the same product?

I never did fully automate the startup process, so internet doesn't work until you log in, start VMWare Workstation, and start the VM. I also never bothered with anything besides Workstation.

The increased efficiency of any tiny amount of forced airflow over true passive cooling is enormous. I have successfully cooled 3 systems and 14 hard drives with 3x120mm fans @ 1000RPM, but the ducting required to achieve that made working on the rig too intensive.

Nope. I currently have a 9900 on Office2 and it works quite well.

That is quite a few normal pies. When I lived in Berkeley we would get Zachary's Stuffed Special pizzas. The large weighed 5-6 pounds.

Link. She writes romance novels with a paranormal twist. No, I don't read them.

As opposed to my Kinley MacGregor books on tape? :p

12-14 pounds of weight gain or pizza consumption?

Those do look interesting. Any suggestion on the earbuds themselves? I noticed Ultimate Ears is now owned by Logitech :(

I have a new need for headphones at my desk at home. I'm looking for the best true isolation I can find for under $500. I don't want to hear anything going on in the room (primarily my wife talking to my mother-in-law), and I don't want anyone in the room to hear what I am listening to...
