Hi Anyone have any favorites, or good experiences in Reno hotels? Value, etc. Thanks GS

Hi I'm wondering if anyone has tried the HTC Sensation? Sam got me thinking the 4.3" screen might make up for lack of a Querty keyboard. Not sure if this phone has an SD slot...

Hi Anyone have reasons for using the different browsers out? Which do you like? What do you like, and what don't you like? So far, using OperaMini, and Opera, Firefox, and Dolphin, though not much. Mainly want to be able to save favorites, easily access, and not have to type in huge passwords...

I think the dual xeon girl got mad at me when I was discussing replacing her with a system from Merc, or buying CT's MB;-( OS went south, when the PCI 3 Ware cards' bios failed. Two vertex Turbos appear fine, and work in the beast. She's blue screening all the time, and one of those little...

Hi I've been trying to cook high protein food, with little fat. Only thing is, it's easy to overcook. Look into this hot water cooking, under vacum seal stuff. I'm playing with it, and so far, it provides very tender meat, and, major margin for error.

I actually decided to read the NBA's lawyerese terms of conditions on using their NBA League Pass. Fun stuff, like it automatically renews every year, unless you go to one of their websites, and cancel it. Of course it's VERY difficult to find the actual area on that page to cancel your...

Hi If you get a chance, have a look at the pipeline Masters today. Surf is huge, and it's REALLY good. http://vanstriplecrownofsurfing.com/billabongpipemasters2011/live-ultra-gb Couple of great waves in the Heat analyzer: vanstriplecrownofsurfing.com/billabongpipemasters2011/heat_analyzer this...

Today is kind of blustery, read 25 mile an hour winds blowing off the Sierras. It's 40 degrees, with a steady 26 knot wind. That works out to a wind chill of 13 or 28 degrees, depending if you are using the old or new wind chill calculator. So, the question is, how do you get to the the beach...

I went ballistic today. I've been reading stuff that suggests a good weight loss tip is 8-10 8 oz glasses of cold water, per day, kicks up your metabolism, and the energy used looses weight. It's working for me. So, Costco has these 32 oz water bottles that are an easy way to do what they...

Hi I'm watching a Nat Geo Wild HD called Night of the Lion. It has some really great stuff, all filmed at night, using starlight, infrared and other types of new technologies to find out some really amazing stuff about lions hunting. A new look, into a world we've never been able to see...

HP last one, is coming in at nearly 6.0 MBps. Fastest I've ever seen. That's coming in using UT, on the dual xeon server, 11 years old, over Astound, that will do over 120 MBPS.

Hi This is looking really attractive: http://republicwireless.com/cost The LG Optimus phone looks pretty fast. Anyone used one? I'm wondering if the software will do the following: Easily hook up and sync my contact list from gmail, and likewise my calendar. Flash? What version of Android is...

I buy my razors at Costco. I just can't see paying 4 bucks for a razor blade. I walk into my local drug store, and they have to keep the razors in a locked case now, right next to the Dom Perignon. I looked into the old straight razor, stropp, etc. and the sticker shock of 200-500 bucks got...

Today I spent most of the day working on getting Bluray to play on the HTPC. Athlon X2 3800+ 2 gigs ram, Vertex Turbo boot, SATA drive for Bluray images, Sparkle 9600 video card, 2 gigs VRAM, Plextor External Bluray player. Power DVD 10, 8, Any DVD HD, VLC, Explosion 7.1 sound card, etc. I...

Hi Should be a fun contest, in barreling lefts and rights, off Long Island New York. Here's the link, first round is already done: http://www.quiksilverpro.com/ For the first round, which was done in small waves, on a swell coming up...

SSD on the motherboard? Relatively cheap, track pad looks to big, but, it seems just fine for most things... Except it's an Apple...

http://www.billabongpro.com/tahiti11/live-gb If you get a chance, have a look tomorrow, and, part of todays surf was pretty incredible. Use the "Heat Analyzer" feature to play back the high scoring waves. First couple heats were the craziest. Tomorrow should be incredible.

I bought a little 21.5" Samsung monitor at Costco.dollars, but really 175, since they didn't include a DVI cable with it. That made me think it was a poor value, small, and I decided to return it. Last time I was in, I noticed the 27" Samsung monitors had come down from 349 to 329. Still high...

Bought one. Excellent router. Running both the server and the Beast off it, wired, CAT 6. Consistent 70Mbps down, 4-8Mbps up. 120 Mbps top bursts. The laptop with the N adapter just ran 52 mbps, and 8mbps upload, sitting on top of the other computer, in the living room. So, a better adapter for...

Today the new JetDirect 615N came in. It's identical to the 600 and 610, but has more memory on the card, according to the HP website. It installed, said it was ready, but, I couldn't get it to hold an IP address consistently. At first I thought the Modem might be set to limit connected...

Hi I recently was given a copy ATIH, and, installed it on two machines, the Beast, 64 bit, and my server, 32 bit. I started having random freezes with the Beast, something I've never had before. I decided it was likely the Acronis backup running, that updates in real time your system to...

AMAZING! Yes, it really does make a noticeable difference. Astound has a special: 2 years, 50mbps, for 39.95. Normal cost, 125.00 a month on special. Just got it to work, and, here's the results: It makes a noticeable difference from 20 mbps, and, it's 10 dollars cheaper. They offer 3 free...

Well, got the 3200+, now 3800+ up and running. CPU cost 25 bucks, PS cost 80, Seasonic 520, and the motherboard is good. Waiting for drivers to download, and, I should have the HTPC up and running. As close as I can tell, the constant gaming by the Menendez twins fried the cpu, taking some...

Anyone have an industrial strength router/wireless that is Gigabyte speed, that they like, and have had good luck with?

Hi If you are in Kali, or can work on data programing, PG&E is trying to organize their data, and, they are getting fined a LOT of money, so they are willing to pay a lot of money to someone that can organize their document mess. I believe one of the subcontractors is a company called...

I was looking for an external backup drive for Acronis, and, my local Costco Had the Seagate Replica, 2 TB drive, with backup software, for 99.00. I bought it, thinking it would work at USB 3, at least with what was on the box. No joy. USB 2, 35 MB/sec. It gets better. 7 Ultimate can't format...

Jumpster is in the other room, talking. I figure she wants to be brushed. I ignore her. She comes in, jumps on my lap and then on to my desk. I feed her some treats. Then she goes to my coffee cup, and pretends like she wants to drink from it. Then, when that doesn't work, she paws the coffee...

Hi If you wanted a server box to run VM, using 64 bit, 7 Ultimate, and probably VMware, yet didn't want to add the straw to the camel's back on your PG&E bill, how would you configure the machine to be both fast, yet have limited electricity usage? Inexpensive would be good, as well, but I think...

What steps did you take to find out which speakers you favor? What stores did you go to?

Hi I have a new roommate that does software development. He's done a ton of work on a 32 bit Vista laptop for a medical company, and, needs to clone the drive, and install it in a desktop machine. What cloning software would work, and, is there any way to move from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64...

I usually buy stuff from Costco, so if I don't like it, I can take it back, or, if it goes defective, likewise. Costco gives me three monitor choices: A 21.5" LCD for 160 dollars SA 350 for 200 dollars, 23" and the 27" for 300 dollars. The 27" is liveable. However, the new power connector to...

Hi I just upgraded to 10 MB/sec internet from astound. First off, all they did to do that was flash the router from the office, and it's working right around 10 MB/sec. Now this is the part I don't get. Using a Linksys Cisco-Linksys WRT54GL Wireless-G Broadband Router. It's supposed to be 54...

Hi Does anyone have a food, or waterproof keyboard they use and like? Thanks GS

I've been watching a bunch of Tyson's old fights. When you see them one after the other, at least the early ones, and your an old fight fan/boxer, it brings up the following conclusions, at least for me: Cus DeAmato kept Tyson in shape. When he would bob and weave, and throw combinations, he...

Hi I sent my drive out Wednesday last week. Met a UPS driver outside a store in Pleasant Hill at about 8 PM. He took, and scanned the package. It was delivered to OCZ's RMA location in Silicon Valley the NEXT day, that would be Thursday, by order confirmation. This morning, Tuesday, two...

This last women's surfing contest at Snapper Rocks saw the dawn of a new era in women's surfing. Carissa Moore has completed a few steps started by Layne Beachly, and, we now have women that surf VERY well, in fact, so well a combined world tour may not be out of the realm of possibility. For...

Title says it all. Global warming? I was wondering why the heater wasn't working. So much for any thoughts of surfing tomorrow...

Hi I was wondering if you all might post your tech resumes, so a rookie might get an idea of what they might look like? Thanks GS

Comments, experience?

Hi I've been looking at Tmobiles' options. Samsung Galaxy is kind of cool, but, it's 3g. WHY would anyone pay that kind of money when a 4g is around 500 bucks? Seems what I am after requires Android 2.2, or, it won't play, flash stuff, mainly surfline.com, etc. My current 5230 and 1900...

Hi I realize Microsoft writing software to stop virus' is sort of an oxymoron. That said, is their product as good, or better, then AVAST?
