Does that say you are only dropping the water 2 meters? That tank sounds huge. I don't think most houses could support 300,000 kg in the attic.

Can someone with free time calculate if this is practical?

FTFY.

You may have trouble building such a system at a private residence. It would be awesome though.

How about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricity

From what I've read the margins on gas are very slim, something like 10 cents a gallon.

How about LibreOffice?

Is that a development version?

How can you not like mashed potatoes and gravy?

It looks like it's a couple versions out of date. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zfs#FreeBSD The current stable release includes ZFS zpool 14. The version that supports deduplication is 21.

I've used a parallel port switch with a 25 foot cable and this worked fine.

Tell your manager that the CRT is giving you massive eyestrain and it's affecting your ability to be productive. If this doesn't work go to an ophthalmologist and get a note written saying that your current monitor is causing you medical problems.

I have to. We use both at my workplace.

SharePoint 2003 and OWA from Exchange 2003 both suck in anything other than IE.

I was wondering the same thing.

How about co-locating the hosting with another member? With something like DynDNS it wouldn't be very hard to automatically check to see if your host is unavailable and then update DynDNS with a new IP address. The data could be mirrored at interval and the switchback could be handled manually.

With a service like DynDNS you wouldn't have to pay for a static IP address. Your TOS may forbid you to run servers, but they may not care, especially for something that probably doesn't use all that much bandwidth.

Can't you use ZFS with the BSDs?

Nice. Try a second hand shop or get a bunch of clothes with elastic.

I haven't noticed anything wrong. Have you?

Do any such tools exist for Linux?

How much do you pay per kW·h?

Holding a running gas chainsaw is even worse. I've done this before while up in a tree on an extension ladder.

I have a terrible time reading those things. I like the ones with math problems more.

Oh, and congrats.

What kind of work will you be doing?

Sounds like it will work fine. I would write a script to collect the data and create the CSV file automatically. The Unix Sysadmin at my office uses Nagios to monitor our *nix boxes. I don't know if it would be helpful for this use case though.

You must have the crappiest wireless provider in North America. My download rate from my phone is around 3-4 Mbps.

It was a waste of $150 from what I read: http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/07/augens-kmart-tablet-and-smartbook-wont-have-google-branded-app/

The Sherwood R-903 is only 10 inches deep.

There has to be some way to connect all the cables.

You could cut a hole in the wall and just have 6 inches sticking out.

I know, but the photo is still out there for any of their friends to see or everyone depending on their privacy settings.

He was making fun of you.

I have an account so I can monitor who tags me in photos, I can then ask them to remove the photo if it's not appropriate. If I didn't have an account I wouldn't even know that the photo was added.

Is the L series of Thinkpads new? I don't think I've seen it before. The price seems very good, is that in AUD?

My condo is full of recessed cans. I kept the incandescent lights wherever I wanted a dimmer and everywhere else I got cheap CFLs from Home Depot. I'm not sure I really like recessed cans. The light is very direct and hurts my eyes. Especially laying in bed with the lights on (even dimmed) is...

This is really DB dependent. For some of our Oracle DBs we do log shipping. For MySQL I run dumps and then the dumps are backed up. For both of these approaches the database can be online. One of our MySQL DBs is also being replicated to another machine. Replication is fairly easy to setup. I'm...

What brick and mortar stores do you guys have to buy computer components? In the US, I can think of Best Buy (1069 locations), Fry's (34 locations), Tiger Direct (34 locations), Micro Center (23 locations), and CDW (19 locations). There might be others that I'm not thinking of.

The replies column is showing one less reply than the actual number of replies.

I'd agree with this. From what I've read the standard libraries that ship with .Net have a lot more built-in functionality than what comes standard with Java SE or JEE. However, this can be seen as a good thing or a bad thing. The Java community has produced an amazing amount of open source...

They've been selling SSDs for a couple years now[citation needed], I'd think they would have figured out the RMA process by now.

The link may not be safe for work...

I use OO.o and Google Docs at home. OO.org is nice for some things I've tried to do in it and makes other things half impossible. Have you ever done a mail merge in OO.o? It took me a good two hours before I was able to understand how it's supposed to work. Google Docs is nice for simple...

You really only need to create one thread on this forum. Everyone already saw the first one you posted.

I would ask the user to find someone local to fix the issue. I would actually stop working for this person completely, it sounds like more trouble than it's worth.

I changed my mind, Froyo no longer feels any faster to me. The whole phone seems to slow down massively at times and the only think that fixes it is restarting the whole phone. I've played with Advanced Task Killer which will kill various apps at interval and Fast Reboot which does some kind of...

After reading about this a bit more my thought is that Intel is after the cloud based security services that McAfee has developed. Maybe Intel is considering getting into cloud stuff again. On another note, when did the term cloud computing replace the term software as a service? It certainly...

I pictured him using it to stun someone with the light and then beat them with the handle.
