Not only do you typically get a guy, but that guy gets a room full of hardware. I used to have a Dell guy, and everything in the room still belonged to Dell, but was an exact copy of everything we had in production. Any failures were directly serviced by him from his parts in his room. He then...

I'd have to agree with that.

Not bad for a laptop, though. Shame it is still only 720P instead of 1080P, that would be awesome.

I am very tempted by the Note 2, but I'll probably just wait until I break the S3 and weasel one out of Verizon. I have a case, but it is incompatible with my car mount, so I don't use it.

My main problem with a fully automated army is that it is only a good hack away from a military coup. Others mention that if no one on our side dies in a war the public won't be opposed. I think the money is enough of a deterrent at this point. The other thing we need to do is get better at...

Nope.

Will this news help you at all?

Troop casualties suck, but they are nothing compared to the cost of a wounded soldier for the rest of their life. I've heard estimates of $1M each. Tomahawks are still stupid expensive in comparison, but UAVs with dumb munitions can be very cost effective.

I was under the impression that the point of wars were to take out or stop the people making the decisions we disagreed with. The only reason we killed all those poor slobs on the way was because we didn't have another method. I'd rather not kill everyone else, and in the process lose many of...

Just another reason to take your external hard drives SSD ;) I forget which SSD it was, but I had a few that had a mini-USB port right on the side next to the SATA port. Very small and portable.

Cool name, awesome ship. More important to me than reducing the number of ships is to massively reduce the number of personnel; I don't think the military (or the population at large) really appreciates how much additional cost each set of "boots on the ground" has over their lifetime. Fewer...

Bad luck. Mine has left my bike at 15mph+ several times and has one minor crack, a couple chips, and a couple scratches...I haven't seen replacement glass on the web yet.

They have places where it doesn't snow?

Yup. That tire is done.

If you don't mind swapping countries, Pokara Nepal is one of my top-5 favorites.

I'm with the rest in expecting it can, however I would recommend just pulling the VM files out to your 7 build and running the 98 VM alongside the XP VM, instead of inside it.

I've only ever seen a bent pin on a product bought at Fry's electronics. And that was on something manhandled by some other customer and then returned. Did the board have the black plastic protector clipped over the socket? I wouldn't accept one without that. It also sounds like the entire...

Ouch. Remind me what size wheel you got again? I've hit quite a few rocks and the like on my 18"s without issue.

I have a bunch of the "horizontal" heatsinks. One of the thoughts against them is that the components around the CPU on the motherboard could use some cooling themselves (MOSFETS, other power handling bits, RAM, etc). So lately I've been going with larger top-down designs myself. Of course...

On a loose surface I can get the back end out quite a ways without disabling ESC at all. Have you tried that?

Unless you plan on continuous max load I wouldn't worry about it. How high will the ambient get?

Yeah, but this centered a ways down the valley. All it did was remind me to tighten the bolts on the bed frame.

Next time I build a monster rig I might hold on to it for a little bit just to give you a scare ;)

As a manufacturer? A bunch. Not much name recognition, but they were a massive OEM.

The problem with the RS5 and a kid on the way is no back doors. So an S7 is more likely. Of course I would prefer the practicality of an S6 Avant, but they have taken away that option for the more stylish and higher margin 7. I think that the driving simulators in the garage have helped stem...

Yeah...snow tires, what an interesting idea. 80F here all last week. I'm now drooling over the RS5. I've never considered tracking my car, but now you have me thinking about it. With Laguna Seca about 10 miles away...

Yup, multiple users at different times. And some of the laptops are not USB3.0. I ended up getting the Pluggable solution, I hope to get it installed Monday.

I think the part about not burning up that hasn't been brought up is mass. The only reason heat would build up is if there is enough energy in the system to push through the resistance of the air and in giving up this energy as heat. The energy can only come from increased mass or increased...

Taking this rare opportunity to record that my desk was once clean.

Indeed. And he was General Secretary of the Communist Party.

I don't even think you'll need to import to make it work. With all that hassle I'd just run it.

Ah, passphrase, not password. Got it. Yes, you are generous with your time.

90% of the time when I get that call I give them the default for their hardware and it works.

Remote desktop is your friend...just config the RAID cards after it starts up.

YouTube is presently down, so we can expect GDP to double in the next few hours...

Nope. And I have a bunch of calendars running and haven't visited the app since last reboot.

Still loving it. Does pretty much everything I want a phone to do. Even when I think of new things I want my phone to do, there is usually a free app for that.

Link to an article that doesn't require a sub...

Are you sure it won't post? My first server for the coffin would only initialize video cards in the first PCIex16 slot (even if I had a PCI card in it no video would come out). However, in a fully headless config (no video card at all) the RAID card would work fine. Just had to do all work remotely.

It has been out for a whole bunch of years, and enterprise-grade drives are being released by bit names. These things don't happen to risky tech. And as Merc said, the rewards are staggering. Really horse and buggy vs. car stuff.

In my experience the fundamental problem with all of them is that they are separate devices. It doesn't forward the sound from your soundcard, it has another soundcard. Same with video and NIC. This can make settings complicated to get right to start.

I have a situation where three different people with three different makes and models of laptops (2 XP, 1 7) will be sharing a desk. I have limited experience with "universal laptop docks" that are basically USB hubs with integrated sound, NIC, and video. Anyone have a favorite? Tips? Other...

DNS Benchmark. Does what it says, lots 'o data, interesting results. Edit: according to the readme, written in 100% assembly by the same folks that did Spinrite.

I know I have at least a couple of the 120s in workstations around here (no idea which ones), and haven't had any complaints. Of course, it could be firmware specific...

IIRC, ASRock is just ASUS' lower spec'ed brother.

Glympse looks awesome. I'll be playing with that over the next couple days. Thanks!

I think that is the same one I've been buying. Merc has my spare at the moment, so I can't check.

I was thinking about it, my biggest concern would be if they required an even louder listening volume before sounding good.

I am sorry to hear that, but I suppose there are many silver linings there. The kids are old enough to be able to survive on their own and he didn't take anyone else with him. I knew quite a few people like that, but they were all dead or smarter by the time they were 30-35.
