The kludgy thing to do it mount drives as directories off an existing drive structure. I am not a fan of this technique. The most straightforward thing to do is use RAID arrays. You can go for JBOD, just be sure you have a backup. And if you are going to be sure to have a backup anyway, just go...

Assuming you mean JBOD ;) Files can be recovered from individual drives, but there are no guarantees which files are on the good/bad drives, and any files that split a drive are certainly toast. This uncertainty makes it really not dependable as a redundant array. Best to assume that the good...

I've got a bunch of the older versions, some of which have been pushed really hard for quite a while without issue.

To go larger than 2TB, you need to make sure the partition table is GPT and not MBR.

My ride last night got a little rough at the end. I started an hour later than usual, so it was pitch-black on the last 6-mile leg. Something was going on in Monterey, so the traffic was unusually high, and there must have been some work going on in the fields that day as the shoulder was...

An addendum to my #5 would be that each law can only address one topic. No riders or pork. If the topic is too complex to be explained in a one page summary, it should be multiple laws anyway, with each getting a separate up-or-down vote.

I think we have web 2.0 to blame for this one. Once people could publish their cat food choice on the internet, they felt that their opinion on everything mattered. (not sure if I mean this as a joke or not) I know a few of both (smart/stupid, local/federal), and everyone having their hand in...

Just ordered a Garmin Forerunner 610 watch and compatible cadence sensor. If I rode with a group, I wouldn't bother. But since I ride alone I need data to know how I'm doing.

Yeah, but it won't let you play from there. And many of the creatures are set up in such a way that there is basically a moving bulls-eye that you need to hit and the turrets won't aim for it.

And there are plenty of ways around it. It may as well not exist. 5. No single bill can be more than 100 pages, a 1 page summary must be at the front, and any language in the bill that isn't mentioned in the summary should be struck down.

I think more than anything the system needs to be simple and transparent enough that we can actually have informed debate based on facts. I'm fairly certain that these jokers don't actually know the numbers much better than we do. Even if it leads to inefficiency or is slightly unfair, the best...

I recommend that the computer stay on 24/7 and I schedule updates, defrags, drive image backups and AV scans one a night.

This is what I need: The number of times I've had my drive submerged in aircraft fuel and not been able to retrieve it for a couple days...

Indeed. Not their "security suite", just NOD32.

All 100% optional, and hardly a monopoly. I haven't given any of the people you referenced much (if any) of my money.

I honestly believe that the "sweet spot" in public/private allocation of services is pretty massive, with the slow-moving inefficiencies of a government bureaucracy countered by greedy and corrupt private industry. It's little wonder that people feel strongly about the issue, as neither of these...

No different. Exact same bulbs. Damn.

I feel like rolling back a bit and making sure there are some basic points we can all agree upon. 1. We should pay our bills (pay the agreed amount for services and goods consumed). 2. We should collect enough money to cover our expenses (balanced budget). 3. Debt is bad (we should eventually...

When was the last time cutting spending created jobs? When was the last time reducing taxes on the wealthy and corporations caused them to hire more people? Fairly certain the answer is never.

Turns out they were 98CRI 5000K bulbs. $400 for a case. I have half a case left if you are interested.

Just finished putting in 14 x 32W 5500k 99CRI in my 20'x25' garage. It seems....sufficient ;)

An interesting theory, but damn that is a lot to gamble with.

That has nothing to do with the debt ceiling. Deciding how much money we should spend going forward is a very important debate, but it has nothing to do with paying our outstanding debt. Not paying people from whom we have already accepted goods or services is economic malfeasance, and would be...

When you look around the world and see that only one broadcast network doesn't completely disagree with you, it might be time to re-evaluate your definition of "the truth".

Yup, so long as the oldest OS you use is XP x64, and you don't use a 2TB+ disk to boot, you are fine.

Is that using the USB 3.0 reader you linked above?

Of course you are right time, and my intelligent republican friends agree; the spending limit should never have been on the table in the first place. Fixing the budget is not done by refusing to pay outstanding bills, but by not racking up future bills.

Agreed. You need a USB3 connection to be able to access all the drives in XP 32-bit. Or you could use ethernet.

The DLL hack is the easy way.

Technically, neither do I, but I meant it metaphorically.

1. Different kind of RAM 2. Backwards Those are the only reasons.

Looking at one of these used from a friend. Specialized Tarmac Comp Rival More than I am ready for, but I don't think I could get as good a deal elsewhere.

The only thing worse than govt. running healthcare is something like Halliburton running healthcare.

I think the warning is that it is from Tom's Hardware. Their research and reporting has not always followed scientific standards in the past.

I'm fairly certain that voltage and clock speed scale with load, but for a certain voltage and clock speed, I suspect it is just a resistive load.

America is too big to fail, and that is a bad thing.

I'm of the opinion that it really matters very little either way in a brass-on-the-Titanic sort of way. Sure fundamental human rights are a good thing, and the Democrats are better at that. A responsible fiscal policy is also a good thing, and the Dems have shown more sense here as well...

The article sounds about right. It seems that the politicians have no greater fear than re-election; even if they are in control of a bankrupt nation. You'd think that the trillions immediately added to the debt once we lose our credit rating would be enough to get it off the table; any cuts or...

IIRC, wattage increases at the square of the voltage? I know it isn't linear...

Yeah, that is a lot of electricity.

Well this one is at 3.5Ghz and 1.1v stable. Still testing the rest, but heat production is way down.

At the moment I don't have an OS on it...I'll get the F@H time once I finish the OC/voltage testing.

I'll find out today.

A customer. I've only kept the rich ones who want something faster than Dell can sell them.

i7-980 Gigabyte G1.Assassin Kingston HyperX 24GB DDR3-1600 Gigabyte GTX580 OCZ RevoDrive 240GB Corsair AX750 PSU I have it very slightly OC'ed (3.4Ghz) and significantly undervolted (1.225v CPU, 1.54v RAM) at the moment, undergoing stress testing overnight. Anything anyone would like to see in...

Quote of the Day for CougTek (stolen from someone's /. sig): Violence is like duct tape. If it doesn't solve the problem, you didn't use enough.

What has me pissed off at Oracle/Primavera today? How about buying a $1500 program, and then being stuck during the install until finding on page 4 of a PDF offered separately on a download gateway page the following: The program prompts for a serial number. Nowhere during the e-delivery or...

Quite so. But it would be fatal at even 10,000 RPM, so why bother worrying about it.

Indeed. Once they get the thing to spin at 60,000 RPM it should be much lighter ;)

That is very cool. I'd assume it is far more effective than typical IS lenses? From the website: "For photographic work in low light levels, exposures to 1 second can be used (hand held)." For $2k, it'd better be.
