I stopped when I hit this one:

ESET makes the good program, NOD32, which is a great antivirus app (IMHO, the best) They also make "System Security" or some such that tries to replicate all the crap that Norton and McAffee do; firewall, app scanning, internet nannying, etc.

I seem to be running into a different issue. Only the HDMI port works. Ever. Even shutting down, disconnecting all the cables, and reconnecting only one of the DVI monitors yields no video. Leaving it on and plugging in the HDMI instantly brings it up. Tempted to order an active DisplayPort...

Quite so: This sucks.

Interesting bit here. I still can't get my 5870 to detect my other monitors. I have three connected (42" LCD via HDMI (detected), 27" LCD & 24" LCD via DVI (not detected)). The other two screens don't appear at all. I just re-installed the latest drivers and Hydravision, and still no luck.

Thanks for the tips, Merc. I had no idea that PSTs sucked that much.

You guys have been dearly missed. Welcome back. What stories of adventure do you bring?

Yeah, if you could squeeze in a 60GB Vertex, that would be a significant move.

As far as bank/buck is concerned, that is a great build. Of course, I'd try to sneak in an SSD, but it would be tough to do that and keep a high-capacity disk under budget.

Scratch that. That is with the whole rig mounted on a Nodal Ninja. Much faster without all those additional levers.

Not sure how to measure that, MLU doesn't work when liveview is enabled. The camera takes about 4 seconds to completely stabilize after my hand comes off it. I'm using a wireless remote, so that isn't that big a deal.

Yup. Thanks.

I'd love to tell you, but I have no idea what you are asking.

I'm fine with e-everything, just do it right.

That actually tracks across the floor and up into a 3-walled mural of the area. I might grab one for show.

Sweet. Time to move the bulk storage from the 1.5s.

This shouldn't be hard, but I can't find an easy way. I have some PST files, and I have username/passwords of the accounts already created in Google Apps. What I don't have is running Outlook installs anywhere. I just want the contents of the PST in Google Apps. Help? Please?

What happens when you're stuck in the office for a long time with a new telephoto lens? 88MP HDR pano images of stuff in the lobby (like a tractor).

I know MACs aren't difficult to spoof, and I'm pretty sure that your traffic is passing through the air unencrypted...

Better support internally? Or am I doing something wrong?

Fully extended it is a little front-heavy, but not bad at all. Right now I have it set up looking significantly down from maximum extension, and each leg has quite a bit of weight on it. Just testing maximum magnification and minimum focus distance.

Very close. Sigma 170-500. Super cheap, quite used from B&H.

New Toy.

That kind of ties in with a conversation I was having with a friend about "the American dream". My argument was that even though the most traditional wording says something along the lines of "if you work hard, you can get a better, richer, and happier life", I think that most people mentally...

An interesting quote you chose, as I picked out the same from the article and almost used it to demonstrate an obvious bias/slant/troll in the article. There is a reason that the words "always" and "never" aren't used in scientific papers, because pretty much nothing is always anything. I also...

JTR, I can see your first point, but your second makes me shudder. Who exactly is going to be limiting the expenditures of a company? If the answer is anything but the shareholders, I call foul. If it is a privately held company (like mine), the boss can do whatever he wants. I (with his...

You are correct. I would love to see a classically designed, elegant, formal, digital watch. Something with a high-res OLED or ePaper display.

I suspect they were that way going in...

I use a massive, randomly-generated string. Around 48 characters.

Interesting. I knew that ignorance of something better makes you more happy, and that being more happy with your own life encourages you to act more charitably. But this seems to imply something more complex.

It only takes 100TB of intercepted data to crack instead of 300TB....or something to that effect.

I know. I was making a joke about your tendency to humanize your components.

Ah. We were giving them names and nationalities, I thought gender was fair game. I don't know the rules yet. ;-)

I hate it when she does that.

Mouse and keyboard make no difference. CD-ROM and other devices will work as well, but much slower.

No, but I did just download CentOS for some testing...I might start there if it's easier.

OpenFiler looks cool, but it looks like a bare-metal package? All I want to do is turn some storage space on my Server 2003 machine into an iSCSI target.

I was going to mount the iSCSI to the ESXi server itself, and backup entire VMs to the store.

The target will be Server 2003. I'll just allocate a chunk of the RAID array to it and use the same GbE link for both. It will be a backup target for the VMs, they will continue to live local to the ESXi server.

Funny you should post this right now. At this very moment I have the Microsoft iSCSI initiator open on my main file server, preparing it to host some stuff to my ESXi machines. I have made no progress so far, but it is quite a coincidence.

Working great so far, and much cheaper than $900 ;)

Thanks Handy, but it doesn't look like either Clonezilla or Partimage support initiating the clone from within Windows. I'm looking for something I can install over RDC, initiate over RDC, and that the machine will come back up (fingers crossed) so I can connect to it afterward.

Just a follow up to see what people are using these days? I'm currently after something that can do a Windows Server-class OS (2003, 2003R2, maybe 2008R2) from within windows (I'll be doing it remotely). Cheap is good, free is better, but works is most important. Also, has anyone here tried...

I feel that the sample is heavily biased towards those with a negative experience.

No, but there is a correlation between number of units sold and number of DOAs complained about.

You want some more -Es?

The thought of computer parts as an investment is just silly.

I have 4 30GB Vertex, 2 160GB G2, and 2 32GB -Es on my shelf right now...

Using a server as an additional workstation, capturing data from remote devices, outputting data to remote devices. We use those last two for some of our GIS stuff; Server connects to statically mounted GPS and uploads the data via cellular uplink. Both were Bluetooth when I got here (I've...

Just a local fundraising dinner/auction for kids in protective custody.
