Slight misunderstanding somewhere; the name of the rum is 'Malibu', it's made in Barbados.

And many other factors. The big one being body fat %. The lower the body fat %, the more likely to get drunk faster, mainly due to water content being held in the fat cells...

Speaking of drunkenness, any good mixes using Malibu white rum? I was given a bottle approx 11 yrs ago, and never opened it. I figure now is a good time to open it? Now where's the bartender? PS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malibu_Rum

What, you don't want a 5 pack of mice in addition to the other one listed?

"West Coast Cooler" is one such example of a poofs drink. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Coast_Cooler http://www.westcoastcooler.ie/ Also depending on where you are, even some beer can be marked as a poofs drink as well (especially anything under mid strength). Also some brands have there...

Sure is a pity...

From your comment, I would assume for the worse then?

The EVGA is a bit strange, as Supermicro can fit more on a normal EEB size boards. Case in point: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/QPI/5500/X8DAH_-F.cfm It also features 9x DIMM slots per CPU (for a total of 18x DIMM slots), 7 PCIe slots (and they are the same size as their lane...

If I was going to build a dual CPU workstation again, I would only trust Intel, Supermicro and Tyan to get something rock solid. While Asus and Gigabyte have done dual socket boards for a while now, they have never held the communities trust in their implementations. How would EVGA break into...

And Asus counters with the P6T7 WS. http://www.asus.com.au/ProductGroup3.aspx?PG_ID=xrOlpXWE87x7bSBN The P6T7 WS PCIe layout is: 3 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (@ x16 or x8 ) 3 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (@ x8 ) 1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (@ x16) Noting that it has 2x NF200 PCIe bridges for 3x nVidia SLI to get the extra PCIe...

Very amusing.

But 2x 4 core is cheaper than 1x 6 core.

I agree, it does have an odd smell...

Anandtech has a review on the new Corsair Force SSD (uses a SandForce SF-1200 controller). http://www.anandtech.com/show/3656/corsairs-force-ssd-reviewed-sf1200-is-very-good/1 In short - very fast, not so cheap.

And if you live or work anyway outside the capitals, you only have 1 real choice... :(

That's how our telco's make their money. They prey that you go over the spend cap, and then they can rake in the excess charges. (Certain ISPs in Oz use the same tactic, you get ADSL 2+ for $10 mth, but with only 500MB download. Anything over 500MB is charged heavily). Telstra does offers...

Out of interest what models of Sony? My old K800i and my wifes K610i were rock solid from day 1, and their replacements (which we got this past xmas) a W705 has also been rock solid (once we did the firmware update on both of them).

Not really. Apple don't allow JVMs, CLRs or interpreted code of any sort to run on the phone, so that rules out .NET, Java, Perl, Python, etc. That only leaves C/C++/ObjC as major languages that don't fit in the above restrictions. Making that mandated seems like a normal thing for Apple based...

Socket 7 days (went from a Cyrix P120 to a P-MMX 233). Since then, I've done near full replacements due to the age of the current gear when I replace it, eg can't use the same RAM, video card, PSU, etc. (The only exception has been the HDDs). But then again, I only upgrade every 3-4 years at a...

That's still pretty good. I know a lot of people I work with who have home loans are at the 50% mark of take-home income. (And it will only get worse, as local economists are predicting that the cash rate as set by the Australian Reserve Bank will increase from it's current value of roughly...

Haven't been to SR since they revamped the forums... But there does appear to be new-blood in regards to membership, but very few of the original SR members have gone back.

Further to this, is the gig connection between the 2 hosts on a different subnet to all the other connections? (It may be playing havoc with the routing engine, if both connections are on the same subnet)?

IIRC, that figure includes the entire packet size, not just the payload... Take off 5-10% for headers and you should be close to actual throughput at the application level. Also don't forget about other traffic at the same time, eg ARP, DNS, NTP, NETBIOS, etc..

Yep, first bike. The VMAX has a bigger engine than most 3door hatches, and to be honest my first car! But alas, I'll be sticking to a 250cc class until I get more experience on the road. Have applied for a B.Eng (Software Engineering) and B.InfTech (Software Engineering) at QUT, UQ and Griffith...

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter as well... Mine wasn't the best, due to having a minor medical operation on Thursday, and being a little sore over the weekend. But otherwise everyone else enjoyed the weekend.

VirtualBox has OpenGL acceleration support for Windows, Solaris and Linux guest OSs. Direct3D acceleration is coming for Windows guests. BTW, unless Virtual PC emulates a PowerPC CPU, Mac OS 9 isn't going to run on it?

Because most of us don't care about the product, nor could find a use for it? Hence no-one here has one...

Easy, find a Pentium4 EE (netburst). Overclock to 5GHz (using LN2), and you have a CPU whose ALUs are running at 10GHz... PS. For those that don't know, the ALUs on a Netburst based P4, ran at 2x the advertised clock speed.

It might be interesting in seeing a 6136 vs 6168 review. On one hand you have 8 cores @ 2.4Ghz w/12MB shared cache, and on the other hand 12 cores @ 1.9Ghz w/12MB cache. While the 12core 6168 has a higher theoretical GHz count (22.8GHz vs 19.2GHz), each core on the 8core 6136 runs faster and...

I agree 100%. I've been installing NoScript and AdBlock add-ons for Firefox, almost by default for the last few years. Not one person has asked me to remove either plug-in, only how to set NoScript to allow their favourite sites. It's amazing how much faster browsing the WWW is, when you don't...

Amen to that!

So true. I've received many invitations over the years, and now anything from FB is automatically marked as spam. If I want someone to be able to contact me, they already know how to. Despite the many flaws been found with their system**, people still sign-up in droves. ** My favourite flaw...

Most are only 2 at the moment, as it's rare for someone to install an additional controller in a laptop to get SATA3... Just wait for the next-gen chipsets for laptops, which on the Intel side should be the 6x series (X6x, P6x, H6x).

Looks like a recent patch fixed this one... (one fixed, so many more to go).

I had similar issues getting SMB priting working from a Solaris 10 guest, to a printer on a Windows 7 host. I changed a few settings in : Control Panel > Networking and Sharing Center > Advanced Sharing Center. IIRC I changed the 128bit, 40/56bit encryption setting, Use user accounts (under...

Gave me a good chuckle.

Also, be aware that for a lot of legacy application written in C/C++, a lot of those applications have been made difficult to port of other architectures of different pointer sizes, (eg move from x86 to x64, or SPARC32 to SPARC64) as the &%&^%&% programmer used "int" to store the pointer, rather...

The only advantage to running x86 over x64, is that pointers are 32bit on x86, while they are 64bit on x64 platforms, which means less space is needed for the same memory based instructions. (You can fit more code in L1/L2/L3 caches). AFAIK, Visual Studio 2010 now defaults to i686, but not...

Sorry I meant binary plug-ins don't work, like java, flash, etc. (The important ones for most people). However normal add-ins available from mozilla's website all tend to work fine.

What is the source and target OS? Win7/Win2K8R2 adds the /J switch to xcopy which turns off buffering.

LOL. I tend to drink Pepsi Max on most occasions, otherwise it's the hard stuff: good old fashion full of sugar and caffeine, full strength, Coca Cola. (I can't stand the low sugar versions of Coke).

Too much Apple sauce as a teenager? ;)

I would assume similar a situation, but if in doubt call MS for confirmation...

Slight correction. I've reread the licensing FAQ at MS. If replacing the motherboard, then it looks like you need a new OEM license. PS. http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/e/3/4e3eace0-4c6d-4123-9d0c-c80436181742/OSLicQA.doc

Same reason I ask that question.

Senior level technical consultants, the level before it goes directly back to a software developer for assistance in solving the problem. (Not your level 1 or level 2 staff).
