Are you kidding?

CPU Utilization on the Windows side is around 17-14%. That box has a C2D, don't remember what model though.

I believe the file is /etc/sysconfig/ide for OpenSuse. The file was essentially empty so I added "write_cache = on" I ran the test again and the results were essentially the same as before.

Any reason not to just keep your current router and buy a gigabit switch?

No problem. Keep in mind that the x86_64 version is not as new or updated as the regular x86 version, so it probably has unpatched security holes.

I think I can test Linux to Linux by booting the Windows box from a Live image and using a NFS mount. For Windows to Windows I can try connecting a laptop to the gigabit switch, I'm not sure if the laptop has a gigabit NIC though. My other idea was to just scrap Windows and install Linux on...

How about the x86_64 version of Flash? http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html

I tested the CPU utilization on the Linux side and it's around 4-6%. I will test the Windows CPU utilization when I get home from work.

NICs are both onboard. The Windows box uses this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128363 The Linux box uses this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128050

It's Windows XP and OpenSuse 11.4. Both system's firewall are disabled. I don't think this will be an issue with XP, correct? I will need to test this one. NFS is out for Windows as far as I know. I have tried SFTP with similar results. SFTP isn't really FTP though and the...

I added the following to smb.conf: socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY Copy file from Windows to Linux using cp is now: 9.34 MB/s Still too slow.

So, I finally got fed up with having a crappy network at home and decided to do something about it. I ran cat 6 solid cable through my ceiling (Rotozip into the drywall twice, push cables into resulting trough). I bought a Netgear GS108 8 port Gigabit switch and hooked it up when I got home...

I've found FF4 to perform so much better than 3.6.x, the difference is enough that I won't worry about any of the UI change.

India Pale Ale?

Would you plan to use MySQL replication for this?

You could also synchronize the static files fairly regularly in a couple ways. 1. Use rsync to copy deltas on a schedule. 2. Setup a version control system and commit any new/changed files to this on a regular basis (crontab). The standby system could then poll the VCS (also crontab) on a...

What model is it?

DynDns has a Linux agent, but it's a pain in the ass to get working. I just run the Windows agent on a Windows machine that's on the same network.

I've done some admin work with phpBB3. It has a large community of developers and many free plugins. I bet there are even vBulletin to phpBB3 migration scripts out there.

If you want help I have a decent amount of PHP development experience (though Java is much preferred for me).

I am happy to help as well, monetarily and with time.

Also, take a look at Joomla, it's similar to Drupal, but from my experience easier to use.

Here's a comment from that story that made me laugh: Priceless.

Can't you use Mono?

I use the TV with my HTPC. I believe it burned in because the computer didn't turn off the monitor for quite a while (several house). Next time I will also purchase a reputable brand.

My cheap Westinghouse 42" LCD has burn in.

Well, hopefully she pretended she liked the gift. You can't win 'em all. I'm sure I have given my wife many gifts over the years that she didn't like. But, she still appreciates the thought and effort.

You mean snirt (snow + dirt)?

I agree.

Is it that hard to get a passport in Quebec?

You do have to set it up with software, but once you have everything as you want it there is no reason to use the software any more.

As do I. It's so much easier.

Well, I decided that there is simply too much heat on BitTorrent these days. So, I decided that I would pay for a Usenet provider (UsenetServer) as I never hear any bad news about that. It's $10/month, and seems to be able to max out my connection easily (1.5 MB/s). So far the availability of...

Doesn't your employer own Mozy? No discounts to be had?

That's a picture of Lake Shore Drive. There were 5 accidents in quick succession. I blame this on the morons that think they need to drive to work even after everyone in the city talked about how this is going to be the worst blizzard in 30 years. I took the red line and made it home last night...

We got dumped on too last night. The schools are closed for the first time since 1999. I am working from home.

Apple notebooks don't have many stickers and they are garbage.

Even with a lot of RAM Windows still pages quite a bit, especially if you leave applications running for long periods of time. I think I'd rather take the wear and have the performance.

I would leave the pagefile on the SSD, this will certainly help performance.

I use the stock battery. I also bought a second battery shortly after I bought the phone, but I haven't used it. I generally charge my phone while I'm at work.

If you are going to put these on a web page how about JPG or PNG with some jQuery to provide your animation.

I got it.

I don't like deleting things, makes me think of 1984.

Moved.

That's what I have as well, but not overclocked. I still don't see a very good reason to upgrade. Unless something fails...

I've been using Auslogics Disk Defrag on my work computer. It has built in scheduling functionality. I have no idea how effective it is, but worth a look.

Has anyone ever used a Seedbox? Any recommended providers?

You could probably sell it for more than the purchase price. The best non-Woot price I could find was $508 on Amazon.

Have you tried the latest version of Google Maps on Android 2.2?
