Slashdot finnished destroying this idea

Nah, we all know the best hooch is in Vancoover, British Columbia ;) And I don't thing Greg has been there for a while...too busy chasing skirts. Just remember Greg, it's OK to do the grope check BEFORE picking up the tab...

Sorry, my bad....GPU, not CPU. Hence the fact that it is the video card outperforming the other video card. But still not directly related to fill rate.

I'm really enjoying Röyksopp right now. I think it's more difficult to make interesting, engaging music that is slow and simple. Merc's selection above is another example.

Heh, sticking the entire windowing system in VRAM would indeed make for a snappy system ;)

But reserved sectors would indeed be a happy thing, as those sectors do actually exist ;)

I believe it's when you enable AA and AF that the ATI cards really shine...that would be CPU, not fill rate...

Bamf? B*ld Ass*d M*therF*cker? Your're not talking about our fat furry friend, are you?

Whew, good thing I've already migrated from this piece of legacy software ;) Office 2003 forever! Or at least, until Office 2004....

How many hours of 1080i uncompressed porn would fit in 15PB?

Sorry, the germain tainted my opinion. I took 2 years of it in HS while I was dating a German Au Pair. The only thing I really remember is something along the lines of "It's been too long, come to my house" :mrgrn:

Thanks Handurin, though the ones I've seen are usually coated in rubber? Some form of virus protection I'd imagine....;)

Alright, so you link a PDF doc without warning and 2 web links that don't include pictures? If I didn't know what they were, I'd be sensing a conspiracy throery here...

Never seen them, must be one of those weird, Canadian things. :P

On second thought, have them deliver the projector :lol:

I have the bags from 4 Antec Sonatas, 6 Antec Lanboy Deluxe, and 2 Antec 3U Rackmount Chassis on my bench right now. I don't know what to suggest, as I see nothing that could even be called a ring... The Rackmount chassi did ship woth some wire ties :P

Do you have a picture of one? I've built about 20 PCs this week, and don't know what you're talking about.

Besides T2 - gargantuan edition?

2 choice quotes from the article (not directly related to the story) Now that (15,000TB - 15PB?) is a lot of pron :o

?? I've seen them on pre-assembled VGA and DVI cables, but that's it. What application are you thinking of?

Interesting... To disprove this theory, Merc would have to find out what files would be near the end of the first partiton and test them.

Yes, set a few minutes before....and before that....26!

cool, I was one of them ;) Do my 3 tabs of SF count as three sessions? I recently added the "Tech Support" to my startup group...

Circut City here has delivery plans...like $100 for same-day delivery and install. I never trust them with the install anyway, they don't use enough cable-ties ;)

Cross-site quoting, for those who won't return... ericq: Sounds very likely to me.

7.1 lbs vs. 132lbs 1024 x 768 vs. 1280 x 720 $4,400 vs. $5,000 Me? The projector. The lack of DVI makes the decision pretty easy. And with that you can get an extra half-TB worth of storage ;)

Yes, it would cost a (small) fortune. Do you have 200 DVDs worth of vital data? My current total of vital data is about 600MB. This includes past invoices, bids, quickbooks files, resumes, permit applications, etc. It does not include my 80GB MP3 collection, nor my DVDs. I cannot afford to...

If you really want to keep data, keep it "live". Keeping it on 2 different hard drive arrays is the only way to guarantee it's survival. Besides the tendency of all removable media to fail, the "stick it in a drawer and count on it being there later" concept just isn't valid. I keep .ISOs of...

No crappy poetry, please :P

It was up 10 minutes ago...now it's gone...:(

From my experience, a single proc with gobs of memory and many spindles is the way to go. I'd take a single 2.8 Ghz Xeon (sweet price point), 3GB of RAM, and 4x73GB@15k RPM. There's a nice DB thread @ SR right now....called "sql". How much load are you expecing?

I'm in the same boat as you guys, but you chould cheat by sticking it on a seperate drive...then just reference it in the boot loader, no?

Very nice just ordered the album listenting to music like this @ 128kbps MP3 is such a tease.

Holy cow...what did you do to manage that, blake?

LOL, I'm having to revert my primary PC to a Dell Optiplex GX100 w/512MB of RAM and a 400BB. I've been playing too many games, this should fix it... All I have to do is hold out for this sucker :)

From the news I heard I was under the impression her illegal activites saved her $17,000 (yes, less than the cost of myc car)...truly a stupid move on her part.

I thought myself was one of I's alternate nics... :P J/K of course, had to get some "who's on first" humous in there. Thanks for the clarification.

Now you're getting me all paranoid...am I actually on this board with like 4 other people? :o Or are you all creations of the mastermind Mercutio, here to drive me mad? :eekers: It reminds me of a prisoner episode....

Oh, and $100 in RAM :oops:

Holy crap! That SFF Athlon64 board in that chasis for an MSRP of ~$200 :o That is frikin amazing! Let's see: DFI SFF barebones: $200 AMD Athlon64 3000+ Retail: $211 WD 740GD - OEM: $233 SAPPHIRE ATI RADEON 9800PRO: $210 Pioneer DVR-A07 (8X DVD=/-RW): $191 Total: $1045 All I can say is...

That thread is great, you get a good summary posters if you go to this page.

Dude, you're a......Hairy Aussie! Merc, Thanks for being such a big part of the community here. Your technical and literary contributions are very much appreciated. Even when you are ranting about something you manage to make a (usually funny) joke about it. And that is a nice looking cattle...

Wow, I didn't know so many people were having issues with Ghost. I've been using it for about 3 years now without issue. Haven't even opened a manual. Yesterday I backed up a freshly built server. I booted directly to the CD, ran Ghost from the support directory (no installation or boot-disks...

I'm considering making a light bazooka over my workbench for this reason. I was looking at the other thread and it's discussion of over-driving bulbs and some of the larger 4-bulb fixtures. My workbench is 3 feet deep and about 8 feet long. It would be an interesting experiment to see how much...

Well, it got slashdotted. Which one of you did it?

Yeah, the first (well maybe second) thing I though of was..."damn, how much to get me and a motorcycle over there?" :oops:

You have some great smilies, is the list on the left complete?

Why is Santa so Jolly? Becuase he knows where the bad girls live. :mrgrn:

Unfortunate sideffect of viagra: your wife's headaches will return.

LOL
