I had an Intel SSD in that machine before, but the difference in CPU speed is still pretty noticeable. I think the new SSD is probably faster than my G2 80GB Intel SSD as well.

I think I'll drill some holes in it tomorrow.

I just tried to smash an old HDD with a hammer, it was amazing resilient. The platters were definitely bent out of shape, but my neighbors were starting to wonder if I had a screw loose so I stopped.

This upgrade is a nice speed boost coming from a Q6600. I'm sure I'll notice a nice speedup when using an IDE.

Xubuntu. Even going from an nVidia graphics card to the onboard didn't cause any problems.

The answer is that I'm stupid. I figured it out, and this post is from the system in question. It's beautiful that I don't need to change a single thing with my OS after booting it up with a new motherboard/CPU etc.

I got the Core i5 4670K. I am trying to install this motherboard in an Antec P180 case and can't figure out where to connect the power or reset switches. Am I stupid or do I need a new case/power supply? This is the power supply.

I wasn't planning on doing any overclocking.

I took the train to Micro Center and I walked home. It was about 4 miles of walking total.

I had already ordered this one. I didn't know their selection was that good. When I checked their website on Sunday or Monday there was only one board available. Hopefully, I didn't screw up.

Wild turkey tastes much better than farm raised turkey. Get a bow.

I used to run the stairs at lunch in the NBC Tower when I worked in that building. I would generally do 100 flights in sets of 10. I'm in Two Prudential Plaza now and the doors lock once you go into the stairwell. Plus, I don't think they want people in there from what I hear.

I picked up the CPU from Micro Center today. I also bought a Samsung 840 Pro 128GB drive for $120 after coupon. I will probably get around to building it tomorrow. Watched the Penguins embarrass themselves while drinking Highland Park instead.

I was always told by bike mechanics to switch from Shimano to SRAM.

I ordered the cheap one. I'd like to have more SATA ports, but 2 extra ports aren't worth $60.

I will try to pick up the CPU tomorrow at Microcenter. Is there anything wrong with this board?

I waited. Have you determined what motherboard I should purchase yet?

It should not matter where you install the software, just where it stores it's data files. If you actually get it to install, you should be able to configure the place it stores the files.

Just use MySQL if it's available in your repo. I would wait to install MariaDB until the distro maintainer replaces MySQL with it.

Aunt Pol?

Someones I open one by accident. I hit alt-F4 as quickly as possible.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried to read the first Discworld book a couple years ago, but couldn't get into it. Which series would you say is best? Have you read all the series I listed above?

I've been reading quite a few fantasy series lately. I figured someone might be interested. Here's what I've read recently and few brief thoughts: The First Law Trilogy - This is the best trilogy I've read in a while. Great characters and an interesting plot, very hard to put down. I also read...

Just saw this on Slashdot and couldn't stop laughing.

Will he let you borrow one?

Who is he?

Sounds like you can. With 4GB RAM and a fast SSD, this seems like it would be a nice little Linux box. I would prefer a higher resolution screen though.

Can the RAM be upgraded on the Acer C7?

He's going to install Lubuntu on it.

What kind of plane is that?

There's a Samsung Chromebook that is similarly priced, but it doesn't have an x86 processor.

What did Acer do to you?

I think it looks like a nice ultraportable for the price. Let us know how it handles Lubuntu.

I would think you would want to turn off ClearType.

Here's a streetview image of the front of the building. Where are you imagining these would go?

Just a little background on the building. This is a 100+ year old 3 story brick building with all plaster walls. Running any kind of cabling is going to cost a significant amount of money. I posted this before doing any research or even looking for outlets. I just looked at Amazon and found that...

I did a little more poking around and there is no power nearby. This would mean that expensive conduit would need to be run. We might just have to settle for dummy cameras.

I'm looking to get some security cameras for my condo building after two units were broken into last week. There are four entrances that I would like to monitor. Two of them are outdoors (back) and two are indoors (front). There are two separate buildings and the front and back are probably...

Both of those stores are fine. LL Bean is pretty averagely priced. J Crew is more expensive for maybe a little nicer stuff.

I'm trying to picture this.

I don't have one either.

It's probably a pain the ass to get Kies to work on Linux also.

I can download something for you. Just give me the NZB or PM me.

My best guess is that they rollout updates to users slowly so that their server's aren't overwhelmed.

It's working now. Sweet.

I followed the instructions here and now I am installing the update.

According to this, Sprint started rolling out this update on April 24th, but I haven't received it yet.

I have an S3 with Android 4.1.2 and I don't see this option.

Do you have access to usenet?

Have you gotten it to display at 4K resolution yet? Can you find some 4K video to play on it?
