I don't normally listen to rap, but the combination of great production and amazing lyrics has led me to the album "The Heist" by "Mackelmore and Ryan Lewis". Not the usual "bitches and hoes", one of their songs is called "Ten Thousand Hours", referring to Malcolm Gladwell's argument that...

Here is a datacenter-sized submerged cooling solution.

And the question I had is answered right in the brief. Because these drives are sealed, they can be used in oil baths.

Nice summary mubs. I don't have much need for a light at all, but one in the car would be a good idea. I think it should be a headlamp so I can do whatever I need to do, and I think it should work 99% of the time after being ignored for year(s). And under $75 wouldn't be a bad idea either. The...

Got a flexible one long enough to lay the video card in parallel with the motherboard. Should make for a very thin computer. Haven't unwrapped it yet, though.

The only advantage I'm envisioning would be distributing your storage array throughout the racks of servers, allowing your existing distribution (cooling, generators, etc) to also give some protection tot he storage system.

Awesome. Thanks Merc!

Two monitors, and the secondary is a touchscreen. Win8. At the moment when you touch the second screen, it clicks the mouse on the primary. Does anyone know of software that can tweak this? Thanks!

Nice!

This is where riding with a group pays off. The groups pace may be above or below your steady pace, and it is up to you to "dig" into reserves and find enough to keep up. Finding some kind of training aid that forces you into a higher or lower pace at random might be beneficial (RNG-created...

My suggestion for getting your cardio up is to ride less responsibly. Sprint from a standstill in a high gear, run the cadence way up, or maintain your cruise pace while on the tops. You won't be able to go as long, but you should run into VO2 max much sooner. The #1 way for me to get there is...

Chewy, sorry to hear about your wife's issues. I hope things go as well as possible. WRT blood pressure; mine is in the 150-something over 90-something. So don't feel too bad ;)

Were I in the spinning disk business (and I'm glad I'm not), I wouldn't be chasing performance at all. Capacity is the only thing they have going for them, and maximizing that seems the obvious play.

The percentage of users with >1920x1200 is small, but so is the market for $500+ GPUs. I can say that the Titan makes a huge difference, even on console ports (Dirt 3, for example) at 2560x1600.

2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport - This got my attention

1080p? Almost certainly not. But how many out there are considering spending $500+ on a video card while playing on a $300 monitor?

Indeed. I do hope things work out well, Lunar.

Indeed. I'll likely still go nVidia because of the better power/heat/noise situation. Not that I'm in any hurry to upgrade; I'm running one Titan per system now @ 2560x1600 and it is fine.

Is AMD still doing that frame-skipping thing that was padding the benchmarks?

SMART would be the place to look. Perhaps a different monitoring tool that could translate the information? What make/model of drive is it?

I do like Lindsey Stirling, but for covers of this song I prefer William Joseph.

Interesting that my mid-30s is the closest I've come to genuinely liking songs that might be considered pop. Lorde - Royals / Tennis Court AWOLNATION - Sail (unofficial video) Imagine Dragons - Radioactive Avicii - Wake Me Up / Hey Brother Not sure which has moved more (my tastes or pop).

Maxxed on dealers, operating an actual star. If you played this game without the aid of an auto-clicker, you are insane. I hope your RSI heals quickly.

I like it as well. Moved to Toolbox.

Autopsy typically aren't painful, because you are normally dead.

Funny enough, I'm having an issue on my own machine. Win8 Pro that I added Media Center to. It let me do it in the first place, but now it refuses to activate. And when I go online, they say that this configuration isn't supported.

Trying to remain a player in a maturing market is tough if you aren't a manufacturer of the core component of the product. Margins are shrinking, and the only people they can buy flash from are also competing in the retail market.

I'm still battling .NET-based client software. Last I checked WINE couldn't do that.

My biggest complaint with heavy headlamps is that they tend to flop around a bit if you move your head rapidly.

That was the case here as well, until there was a class-action suit. Then the cable co started running fiber to the neighborhoods and breaking up their system into smaller bits. I can sustain 30Mbps 24/7.

Pretty much all the boards I buy have at least 2 BIOS, some have a third that cannot be written to ever but can work in a pinch.

Is there a particular Canon adapter that you would recommend?

Finally replaced the tires with PZero Rosso. Looking at the inside of that blister makes me feel pretty lucky it survived another 2,000 miles. The damage to the wheel was indeed cosmetic, and didn't even significantly impact the balance.

Only operates in the background if it is in it's own window. Being in another tab seems to pause it in Firefox.

I hadn't even thought of using an adapter to work with the lenses I already have. That makes it far more attractive.

I've never encountered a DSL connection that was as fast as the Cable connection at the same location. From a technical perspective, I "know" that cable is more messy, but it has always felt (and tested) at about twice the speed of the DSL connection at the same place.

Thanks guys! Much appreciated.

Those specs are darn sexy. Particularly the 60fps @ 1080P

;) I wasn't being suggestive or obtuse; I actually have some squeaky doors. Silicone-based? Graphite? Other? Preferred brand?

What would you guys recommend for squeaky doors, hinges, etc?

The forums are pretty busy with commenters wanting ACC. While the company itself is mute, the most interesting bit is in this article. I like the diagnostic screen that shows all the temp and status of the drivetrain and associated bits near the end.

Indeed. I could probably even get my wife and kid to join if I ever finish building the semi-recumbant tandem-with-trailer that I'm designing. Oh, and have a warm hotel room every night.

I can dig this. Were I to have the time and not feel rushed I would love to drive across the country in something luxurious and comfortable. A Model S, perhaps ;) I've driven across twice, when I was in high school, and it was a nice adventure.

But look on the bright side; the internet connections suck and there are tons of deadly animals ;) I only tease on the internet because you are the only one with worse or more expensive connections than us.

That second one is great, and includes the first.

I believe it is spelled "dooty" in that usage ;) Unrelated: I was listening to AWOLNATION - Sail at work at a fairly high volume, and there are a couple places in that song that hit me with blasts of air from the ports nearly as powerfully as the ThinkGeek Airzooka. Some strange combination of...

I'm not disagreeing with anything you've said, but I will point out the sillyness here. Allowing a maybe-couple-times-a-year event control your decision is a really bad idea. It is the same reasoning that causes millions of people to drive trucks and SUVs alone and empty 99% of the time. Even if...

The thought is that if you aren't in a hurry you can use the supercharger for free, but if you are in a rush $60 isn't bad. I was even hearing talk of them tracking the remaining life of each battery backing and offering credits/debits on the one you get vs. the one you gave.

No new battery tech in the near future (anyone with a tech "3-5 years away") is vapo(u)rware. The Tesla battery swap is an interesting idea. Tediously slow video here, but it does prove a point.

I have no doubt that this glaring oversight will be resolved very quickly. In fact, Elon Musk has already said that he'll have self-driving cars within 3 years. I was planning on taking advantage of his resale price guarantee and get in on some of that action as well. This time around I was...
