Well, if he has a passport, it's only a ~4 hour drive for Merc.

Fly up to Canada for the weekend.

You could try to do slightly less and sleep a little more.

Platinum, palladium or rhodium. Does she drive a SUV?

$360 for a case is quite a lot. It does look very nice though.

I have 5 3.5" drives + an SSD in the P180, it's quite cluttered.

Getting Crashplan to run on Linux takes about 3 minutes, at least on Ubuntu based distros.

My case is an Antec P180, not quite a $40 case.

My computer looks like shit in comparison. Maybe I should pay one of you guys put my next one together.

Except for ZFS.

This is an office machine?

I don't see any reason why not.

Could you run FreeNAS as a VM?

Just an FYI, this monitor came with a dual link DVI-D cable. The guy at the store told me it didn't, so I bought one (didn't want to wait for shipping). Now I have to return the cable.

Everything is so small.

I got it to display at native resolution with my old video card.

I purchased the monitor from Micro Center today. I haven't been able to get it to run at it's native resolution yet. Trying to determine if it's a Linux configuration problem or a hardware issue.

Can you have it spin down the mechanical drives when they aren't in use?

It's a DVI-D dual link connector. I might buy the monitor from Micro Center and just see if it works. If necessary, I'll buy a video card.

That's amazingly common among all software development shops I've had experience with. I've interviewed developers that don't have the slightly clue how to read or write any code.

I can check it when I get home from work. Why the hell is this so complicated?

Why does Gigabyte's website say it only supports 1920x1200?

Do you think this one will work with HDMI?

I want to purchase this monitor or something similar. I am planning on connecting it to the onboard video of my motherboard. The Micro Center website says I can only get full resolution using DVI-D or Display Port, however the Gigabyte website says that the max resolution of the DVI-D port is...

The reason that software distributed in a tarball is installed into /opt is for exactly this reason. It makes it easy to tell that you installed it yourself and easy to remove.

With a dedicated server it would be easy to set it up as an rsync server. This page has some nice bash scripts to do snapshot style backups.

Developers like beer.

I really need automated offsite backup, or it will never get done.

I want some sort of offsite backup, I also like that it's continuous. Maybe someone that knows what they're doing should setup a server in a datacenter and everyone that wants in, can just split the cost.

Do you have a link that shows how each Haswell CPU compares? I tried to find it but all I find is how fast the fastest i7 is.

I don't know the specific numbers, but didn't the Haswell CPUs significantly enhance the GPU performance for Intel onboard video?

Forgot to mention that the restore kit won't work for me, because I'm over the limit of 3.5TB.

Here's the response:

I had the same issue. You need to increase the amount of memory that Java can consume. Here's how to do it.

At least you'll have a spare if you do.

Has anyone used other online backup providers that offer unlimited storage?

This is way offtopic, but will Steam allow me to return a game?

I will post back when I get a reply from their support. I would recommend trying to restore some of your data, just to see what your speeds are like.

Portal doesn't appear to be available for Linux. Considering this news, it seems odd.

I played Half Life 1 in my steam account. I did really tax my old system much.

I just created a support ticket with the following: I'll see how they respond and post back here if anyone else cares.

Thanks for the recommendation. What about Portal 2?

Has anyone attempted to restore anything from Crashplan? The speed is terrible: ~660Kbps. Restoring 20GB of data is going to take over 2 days. I currently have over 3TB backed up with them, if I tried to restore that amount of data at this speed it would take over a year.

Insurance card is also a good idea.

Speaking of Haswell onboard graphics, are there any first person shooters I can get on Steam for Linux that would be a good test?

Oh, I didn't notice it was for a client.

Why did you order it from them instead of building it yourself?

What kind of NICs are in use? I've had issues with cheap onboard NICs in Linux in the past. I use an Intel add-on one now.
