I think that you have to have a paid account to sync calendar and contacts on the iphone. That's what I told him, anyway. Whatever. I don't care. Somebody douchey enough to demand calendar and contact syncing for no job-related reason just because they have an ithing can afford to pay the extra $50.

The JoJo still visits. I haven't seen him post for a while, but I saw him logged in as recently as January.

Seven of my last nine meals have been either southwest salads or fruit parfaits. Rainbow Dash continues to elude me.

I have a user who swears he isn't getting calendar and contact syncing on his iphone with a free Google apps account, but email is fine. Is that part of the deal for Gapps or do I need to move him to a paid account?

A couple of my devices have had ICS updates. From an end-user standpoint, the differences are generally minor and cosmetic.

It certainly should be well documented. Absolute FreeBSD is highly regard, and if you REALLY want to learn about operating systems, you can pick up either the source code commentary or "The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System." The ORA book "Essential UNIX System...

My friends are pretty much all queer women.

The toys cost like $1 and I usually get a fruit and yoghurt cup. And Rainbow Dash is rather popular with pretty much everyone I socialize with. For some reason.

My goal for this week is to go to however many McDonald's it takes to get as many Rainbow Dash toys as I possibly can. I know too many people who would think that Rainbow Dash toys represent a thoughtful gift and also I suspect that saying this here will piss Coug off somehow. :D

Three and yes. Although you can save money if you shop for your technet renewal. Some places have them as low as $220.

You really, REALLY shouldn't disable System Restore on a working Windows 7 machine. There's simply no other repair mechanism available for Windows 7. You can do a repair install on XP, but that's not an option on 7. 7's built-in backup with system image is sort-of useful and integrated with its...

I just reupped my sub. I ordered on a Thursday and got my confirmation last Sunday. I'm about to buy another sub for a customer. I'll check to see how that's different from having a sub that's never expired.

I have a rooCase. I got it off Ebay for about $10. All of my cases are rooCases. They're nice and I'm a fan.

As I said, I've treated it as an appliance. It just sits in a closet and holds a ton of data.

We might get 80 degree weather here next week.

That's pretty much the story of VOIP.

xtree 4 life, yo.

Nope. I figure the 16GB RAM in that machine will do it just fine. I still have open DIMM slots too now that I think of it. Damn. Load averages most of the time on that box (4 cores @ 1.8GHz) are pretty consistently around .1, jumping up to .8 or so when I'm hitting it from three or four systems...

You have thirty days from the day you purchase a phone to discover issues similar to many of the ones you mention. Phone volume problems certainly should have been an issue you would notice right away. The other stuff is basically either environmental (poor 802.11) or an issue with carrier...

Maybe I'm missing something, but why are you making a RAID10 of 5400rpm drives your system partition in the first place?

I need it. I obtain content from sources outside of Apple's control and at times I would like to be able to use that content with multiple applications. I might have more than one application for a .PDF or a .JPG, for example. It's ridiculous to think that I have to segregate my data according...

I'm talking about the fact that iOS forces a user to associate data with one particular application. Users have to load files on a per application basis. Fuck you if you want to try several different programs that might interact with the same files.

I'm probably going to switch my work desktop to Windows 8 so I can get a better feel for it. I can't see making myself use it on a PC I actually care about. Anyway, Stardock software has a replacement Start Menu for folks who hate Metro. Like me. And other right-thinking human beings.

I support an office where a group of guys sit around and look at /b/ and ratemypoo and stileproject and rotten.com and whatever other disgusting crap they can find just because they can. I started bringing in my own mouse and keyboard there after I noticed something white and crusty on a couple...

You forgot bullshit data sandboxing. Holy god that still pisses me off and I haven't touched my ipad in nine weeks.

My classroom PCs are triple-boot. I have to do amazing acrobatics of imaging software to make their image install at all. If I do a step out of order at least one and probably all of the OSes in the image will not boot and I have to re-image. There's a reason that basically nothing officially...

Nope. What's wrong with your phone?

... or maybe you just need to load a boot-time driver.

I think that's what the Pre-install Kit is supposed to do for you.

I really think 400g is a sweet spot. That's one of the reasons I'm so happy with the 8.9" Galaxy (470g). Did they fix the fact that ipads only have one speaker yet?

It's that 1.4lb. weight that I find bothersome. That resolution is much, much better than the ipad2, but as an e-reader or a camera, what the hell do you want with something that weighs two thirds of a kilogram? Well, and it still runs iOS. Maybe some Android hackers will fix that part though. :)

They aren't ALL too expensive. Entry level Sandy Bridge Xeons start at $200, comparable to Core i5 desktop chips. Yes, they need to be paired with expensive motherboards and expensive RAM, but most of us here buy expensive motherboards and RAM to begin with. I don't think I'd give any serious...

Hitachi's 2.5" drives needed to die anyway. They were notoriously unreliable.

Yes I am.

Intel finally got around to releasing 5-series Sandy Bridge Xeons. Dual and quad Socket systems can now join in i7 love at up to 8 cores and 16 threads per socket. Looks like somebody could build an absolutely monstrous 16-core system for about $3500.

Just like computer gaming, I'd say you concentrate on what most people have (Android 2.3) and plan ahead accordingly. I'm not aware of any Android applications I use right now that require any newer release of Android than 2.3; almost everything comes down to either file manipulation or access...

The comments on that post are gold. I've never seen a tech forum with a hate-on for Windows XP *and* all inferior previous versions of Windows before.

Android adoption rates are of lock-in by the carrier or vendor. As an end user the newer releases really aren't all that different anyway.

I strongly suspect that the amount of work and aggravation involved in replacing your motherboard will be lower than continuing to troubleshoot an issue that will in all likelihood lead to you replacing your motherboard.

No doubt. We couldn't do this without you man!

Well I just looked at this thread for the first time like 8 hours ago, but my intuition is that it's a motherboard issue just based on the variety and frequency of issues. It's relatively simple to slap in a different power supply and see if the issues go away. It's actually relatively simple...

The second screen is hugely useful for making Win8 usable on a desktop. By default, it ALWAYS shows the Desktop application, and stuff that sits on that screen is always visible and available. Also, all views of the desktop show the full taskbar, including pinned applications, and each Desktop...

In Microsoft's version of reality, they'd move to only supporting one OS and people would want theri tablet devices to be susceptible to the same malware bullshit so they could run a copy of Office. Android absolutely has a place, but it has drawbacks of its own.

If you do, it will be only just. You're seriously better of trying to do that with XP or with a Linux install. My classroom install of Win7 + Office is 28GB including the pagefile and hibernation file. That's not much room for useful data storage.

Having read everything you and others have written, I'd probably just tell you to replace your motherboard and be done with it.

I have a few Vista Home Premium licenses sitting around.

I find it very difficult to find the hot spots on the touch screen to bring metro back up and the charms menu and the like. My touchscreen is 1920x1080 rather than more typical resolutions, but it's not something that I should be fighting with.

Several of the farmhouses outside the town where I grew up still had party lines in the late 70s.

.ape does kind of annoy me, but I'm surprised that release groups stuck with xvid as long as they did. I'm also surprised that there came to be an ecosystem of compatible hardware. I guess I just never paid any attention to that.

The install is just writing out a disk image. It's ridiculously straightforward. Mine runs on an 8GB SSD. Performance seems to depend on available RAM more than anything else. The support documents I've read seem to suggest that an individual zpool should have four or five drives in it. Mine...
