I'm struggling with home server and the auto backups. Manual backups that I kick off run fine but it doesn't seem to do them at the assigned time. I was looking around on line and I am not seeing wake on lan mentioned anywhere for WHS, but I am seeing plenty of references to hibernate and...

Agree, do whatever you can to get a SSD, it is very much worth it. On the i5 thing, are we banking on it being faster than one of the top end C2D? Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale 3.16GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core $189.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115036...

I have the supposed good fifth element here and what you are looking for is the sound to be TrueHD. Discussed a bit on this page: http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/894/fifthelement_remastered.html I also am not seeing anything on the video encoding used. But I could suggest a program called...

I like my ethrottle but I am thinking the breaks still need to be the real thing.

Oh right that is a little annoying. Especially on old XP machines and the way they don't refresh the DVI display discovery info after boot, ever. Win7 rediscovers the display after login so if you are ever on the wrong display at boot time and boot up in super basic default resolution just...

They are just discussing that a network key is only a part of the security breach in getting to data.

No they are the much more modern stationary dial type.

I read back a bit and I can't find where you said what was going wrong? Anyway my USB mouse works better if you plug it into the USB hub portion rather than the intended mouse port. That way you get the special buttons etc to work as you are switching a USB device instead of a super generic HID...

I take exception to the thread title, blatant trolling there. I also don't like the bias and agenda the articles are trying to push but I don't think anyone will argue the premise that peoples surroundings and much more like upbringing etc affect the decisions they make.

Are you talking about the aten CS1762 one? I didn't even realize the USB 1.1, but anyway makes no difference to a mouse and keyboard.

The International was a pretty impressive visual movie for bluray IMO, very sharp.

Merc what I don't like about your situation is that you seem to be vital there but they don't recognize that and compensate well. Probably super awkward to bring that up but have you discussed this with them? Strong individuals are the lifeblood of small business and one or two people there can...

ddrueding, sounds fun where did you go for that? Something I have learned is that guns, knives etc hold a decent value and can turn a profit if you unload them in the right places.

I think the point there is MSFT is telling you that you don't need bluetooth on a server right?

Absolutely so.

Yeah, according to reviews there the Hitachi followed by the WD Green drive are the ones to get. Newegg doesn't seem to move a lot of samsungs, wonder why. Notice that about a third or more of the reviews don't have the "This user purchased this item from Newegg" text there, these are just...

Maybe http://www.hardocp.com/ They have some through reviews, I especially like their power supply reviews. I also really like when they get a crappy product and tell you exactly why it sucks. Like toms used to be like ten years ago. Their mega forum is very active too, not all good info but...

Yeah that is exactly what I am talking about. I only had this one tab open, this page, and it was running about 160MB. Close FF and reopen it and let it open this page and now it is only running 58MB or so. I don't so much care about the memory usage but I notice some sites just get all slow...

For now HTPC. I have a HDMI video splitter and one end goes to my TV in the living room. Sound I used to just split the analog also and send one to the receiver 5.1 analog in but I have a new receiver now and I am using optical. It has a lip synch problem but the new receiver can fix that, my...

Isn't this Merc's page? Duno but it has worked for me, check out the best practices one. http://likefunbutnot.org/articles.php Edit: ok you were faster on the search.

I separate per media type minium. One folder for DVD another for bluray etc, maybe subfolders for main movie verses whole disk? I can see it paying off somewhere down the line to be organized about this.

Looks like the seagates are on sale at the moment too. Brings that cost premium per GB a little closer in line to the 1TB and 1.5TB models. * Original Price: $179.99 * You Save: $20.00 * Free Shipping * Your Price:$159.99

I don't see why not. But I found a steal at newegg for $130 on the seagate mentioned for two recertified drives. I figured the extra speed would be nice and they still run fairly cool, warm but definitely not hot. First one looks perfect but the second I heard a click every once in a while...

I have gotten quite comfortable with file form. Also if it is nothing special on the extras I rip the main movie only using dvdfab, store that as file mode also. Win 7 media center also likes file mode so that's a plus. Not as comfortable with bluray though so I am storing those in ISO for the...

You can throttle utorrent, assuming the rest allow it. But I don't have that ability at work, voip phones and router that they chose don't have QoS and when outlook synchs people can't hear me. On a slightly different tac my friends and I use Ventrilo all the time.

I had Pandora running earlier and I am sure there were some flash sites I have visited earlier in the day but as I typed that this site was the only open tab and this site is slim. Seems that when the tab closes it doesn't get released ever and just piles up over the day. I DO have the undo...

Is it just me or does the memory usage SUCK now? This page is the only tab I have open and FF 3.6 is taking 664M of memory! Also now it can't keep up with my typing. It starts off fine but over the course of a day it turns into a lag/memory hog beast now.

It's something for the couch and messing around at coffee shops I guess. Functionally I was thinking big iphone and looking at thoughts of others they seem to be thinking the same. I was hoping for a bit more but it is nice you can get ones without the cell service, but the ones with it have...

Out of the box default was ADMIN for the user and pass, case sensitive. What I changed it to nobody knows! Funny story, apparently the POS DVD ROM I put in this is toast and gave me a lot of "could not initialize ui subsystem" errors. I made an ISO on a good machine with nero and mounted it...

Wow, that was worth the wait and a bit of money. KVM over IP just worked out of the box.

Anyone frantically refreshing tech news sites today waiting on their next fix? I admit I am curious and may eventually want a tablet like device.

Can you do one of those 1U 90° server slot adapters and put an add on card sideways?

That's many of my thoughts too the cost that gets blown but I would be way more understanding if I had a girlfriend/wife to go with. Also the whole point of that lengthy post above is people totally ignore the stuff that is right in their back yard.

I occasionally think about traveling but I get so much travel in my job and I generally dislike air travel so I am not sure how much enjoyment I would get out of the whole affair in going overseas. Usually I only think about going somewhere far away like now when there is a lot of snow on the...

The on line warranty checker says it runs out 2 July 2012 so must just be the remainder of the original drive. These aren't a label scrape either, I inspected closely with a 5x loop and I can't see anything that indicates that they were a repaired drive, they look new just with a different...

Damn, I am impressed ups was here early. Newegg's crappy drive shipping aside what they sent was a pair of seagate certified repaired drives according to their label, I may have even better than the thought 50% chance that both of these are good!

Wish UPS would deliver earlier in the day, usually delivering around 6pm here these days. I have a powerconnect 5224 managed switch on the way so I can finally play with vlan, port mirroring and other fun stuff. I also have a couple open box seagate 2tb drives I picked up from newegg that will...

They have many but I am sure we are looking for the cheap way out here.

I have six MP3 CD's in my car at the moment, those CD changers are great. I still like having a universal bay on my laptop, currently stick a second hard drive in there.

There is always used parts available at yards and salvage stations.

One idea I would like them to steal from IE is the color of the tabs, tabs that are spawned from the same pags all have the same color. Easy to group a cluster of tabs together like that.

Yeah, AOL is like a big application with slick UI and different modules you can load that do all sorts of different things and it handles all the back end web queries for you. I have forgotten most of it but I had a little training on it when I was working at bby back in my college days. Some of...

My times are about equal to those times with these exceptions, firefox is about four seconds plus a second or two for the five tabs to load that I had saved. Is firefox much slower than that for you? Check out the plugins you have loaded? Power dvd 9 ultra was about 4 seconds, not counting...

I haven't been prompted so not mandatory. I did see the little window come up today with an update so it is checking and updating the db.

Sort of obsolete if you want to do the latest bluray stuff, but it handles every form of special DVD sound. Best thing about it is the analog 5.1 input, can do anything with that.

All this stuff is big and heavy, really encourage local pickup. All have retail box with manual, remote control and packing material. Box measurements are listed with weights if you wanted to try a shipping estimator from 03060. Sony SLV-679HF VCR - free * 19-micron video heads * VHS hi-fi...

The virtual environment does explain a lot about my irks with power dvd, I was not aware of that and just thinking it was a funny decision to make it compatible with more computers with slower video/cpu. Man I can't wait till my dune player gets here and I can ditch the HTPC idea.

If what I read is true you can do a bare metal restore with the restore boot disk over network (network drivers required if not already loaded) and you can also browse the backup for that one file or two you need. No luck on the image based thing I believe.

Me too. Would like to know why power dvd feels the need to disable aero in win 7 when it loads a BD and mess up all my toolbar widths/positions, does this even if the task bars are locked. Would also like the click on screen menu functionality that DVD has.

The new pineview boards offer more horsepower and I think they draw less power than the ion boards and the ion's have a little more video in them with hardware decoding and seem to be slightly more suited to HTPC applications, least that's the impression I got over at anands with their recent...
