GPUs that support 4K... Intel : Generally IvyBridge or newer support... http://www.anandtech.com/show/7007/intels-haswell-an-htpc-perspective/7 AMD : http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/GPU-14100601.aspx Nvidia : http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/4k/supported-gpus But, only...

Thank you, wasn't aware of that one... Looks like HP has one out now as well. HP Z24s But the one that did catch my eye was this one, the HP Z Display Z34c.

HP have their new 4K z-Series on sale at the moment (US$755 on newegg), but there is nothing below the 27" size available via normal retail channels... Personally waiting on 20-24" 4K screens... but nothing out there...

By what Bozo was saying, I assumed they were after the CVV number... which having can lead to all sorts of misuse. Australia no longer accepted signature only on CC transactions 1-Aug last year, requiring all CC transactions to use a PIN to stop CC fraud... We also now have Pay-Wave and...

Be aware that depending on your local laws, conditions in the EULA can be invalid and non-enforceable... ;)

Let's see the rough stuff... Manually setting IRQs and DMA ports via jumpers on expansion cards and ensuring no two cards had the same... Stuffing up the BLASTER environment variable so your games couldn't find the included Sound Blaster 2.0 card. Attempting to maximum convention RAM to get...

Sed, those backports are already out in the field... https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3068708 https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/3g7hr0/removing_telemetry_from_windows_7_and_8x/

I certainly prefer the more relaxed position on the cruisers. The main concern is that my daily commute is approx 50min each way (about 50km), so riding position comfort is certainly high on the list of priorities. I don't think I could handle the Z300 position on a daily basis (being a smaller...

FYI, the 440BX could handle up 512MB (regular SDRAM-PC100) or 1GB (RegECC), if you have 4x DIMM slots. (3x slots is limited to 384MB / 640MB (RegECC) - section 4.3 in the datasheet). The only problem was getting the right sort of RAM to meet all the requirements... Sed, are you sure it's a...

We don't really worry about the snakes (we have king brown's and coastal taipans in our immediate area) as do all the right things to avoid them... As for spiders, since my son has a nice collection of arachnids (3 Tarantula's, 1 Eastern Trapdoor, 3 Scorpions, and a Whip Spider), it's all about...

Thanks. I was lucky I was only doing 40kph (due to peak hour traffic), and fortunately it wasn't a hard seize. Weather wise, were have very mild weather (except for the temps), We're averaging mid 20Cs currently, on what is the last day of Winter for us. (Summer averages low-30Cs). As for rain...

A lot of nakeds, sports and tourers come with ABS as standard, a lot of cruisers still only have ABS as an option for the low-end and midrange models, however most top end cruisers having it as standard... (The Z300 I looked at had ABS as standard, and it's an entry level sports... ).

Had some fun last Thursday night... coming home from work on the motorbike, it promptly decided to break down on the freeway in the middle of peak-hour traffic, on a bridge, in the pouring rain. (I broke down on Capt Cook Bridge just outside of Brisbane, for those that know Brisbane). As I...

You do understand "Ashley Madison" is just a name used by a dating service that specialises in hooking people up to have an affair (outside of their marriage)? (Sorry if I missed are sarcasm). Having used dating websites in the past, (and even met my beautiful and gorgeous wife on one), I too...

Sorry to hear Lunar, hope things go the best as they possibly may happen.

Do you have a reference? What I've read, Enterprise gets a choice, or is that choice only available if you have a WSUS server?

I just did an long email to my parents who recently migrated to Win10 on how to maximise their limited Internet connection**... And found the following links helpful. Privacy settings explained...

Updated Windows life cycle document is here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/lifecycle

Users of Home/Pro, obviously get no choice, since they get all updates irrespective, however for the Sysadmins that maintain WSUS (or similar) are going to have fun trying to work out what each update is... (eg, IE updates which may break corporate applications, .NET Framework updates that may...

Certainly interesting the MS is now no longer providing full descriptions for non-security related Windows 10 updates... http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/microsoft-has-no-plans-to-tell-us-whats-in-windows-patches/ From one of the comments on the article:

Work desktops are all Ubuntu 14.04 (w/GNOME or Unity as the user prefers), simply that's what everyone in the office knows... (lowest common denominator). We do have a number of RHEL/CentOS/Suse/Gentoo/Debian VMs for testing as well... Home is Arch Linux, GNOME3 on the desktop, OpenBox (with...

No complaints for the ones in Australia... (obviously depends on origin of the car itself, unknown where the US ones are actually made). Issues with the drive-by-system in some Prius models... have since been fixed (from what I've read).

Doug, have you seen the following blog post? http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/slabinfo.html Also in addition to /proc/$pid/status, /proc/$pid/smaps will give you additional information about shared pages allocated as well. So to get the accuracy, you may need to parse status and smaps...

And that's a problem for MS? The thing is, a lot of desktops/laptops already come with OEM license (at least for Win) and then you add VL on top and then add SA (software assurance) and it's a nice cash cow for MS. Certainly not saying that's the case, but I don't see it as too far fetched...

Aren't they already if you have Software Assurance membership tied to your VL?

Yep, they certainly are a money pit...

Actually, I suspect Enterprise versions and the move to volume licenses (VL) to have a higher uptake due the flexibility the Enterprise edn's give over the regular Pro edn's. Particularly in regard to auto-updates (with better/more refined WSUS integration), tunables related to search and...

3 Sorry, couldn't resist...

At least you've found something NOT to buy... When I used to do a lot of travel for work, many years ago, I had the pleasure to driving a lot of different rentals. Made you appreciate how good and bad some cars really are.

Exactly. I would suspect the vehicle has never been serviced, so would be looking at a major service straight up to ensure all fluids have been replaced, and especially get the fuel and exhaust systems checked. (extremely low mileage vehicles will tend to have rust through out the exhaust...

So suggesting a Tor exit node is out of the question then?

Thanks, wasn't aware of that.. seems to be two separate vehicles with the same name...

Been a while since using either, but I thought Daemon Tools handle securerom and other protection mechanisms better than VCD. And daemon tools supports those sparse mini-ISOs that are often used as well...

Merc, gald you're ok, and to be honest, all you can do is laugh about it... I'll have to second Coug on the Mazda CX-5 recommendation... It gets very good review here in Australia. The other to look at is the Toyota RAV4 (they have 2WD models available here, don't know about if they're...

Not to mention you can buy a house outright in a nice part of town for the cost of some of the POWER or SPARC based servers from IBM and Oracle respectively...

Cedar Mill P4's have been known to reach 8GHz during those extreme overclocking events... http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/24/pentium-4-overclocked-to-8ghz-lets-see-your-fancy-core-2-try-t/ But AMDs tend to go even further... 8.8GHz (for a FX-8350)... http://valid.canardpc.com/records.php

That's exactly how I feel about the rumours... Won't believe it until I see it first hand...

A lot of rumours indicate AMD's Zen architecture will offer 40% improvement over their current offers, giving similar single core/IPC performance similar to Haswell/Skylake...

With the launch of Skylake today, here are some of the reviews I've read... http://anandtech.com/show/9483/intel-skylake-review-6700k-6600k-ddr4-ddr3-ipc-6th-generation http://hardocp.com/article/2015/08/05/intel_skylake_core_i76700k_ipc_overclocking_review

I think that's part of the issue as well, most of the world are on metered connections. (Unlimited plans while they exist are still fairly rare in Australia). While I could see this technology as beneficial if it was restricted to a LAN setup (that is users on the same LAN can share updates)...

FYI... http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/001116.html TLDR: Win10 uses a bittorrent like technology to help distribute updates to other windows 10 users which are located outside of your own LAN.

Just in case you've missed it (and I've missed it being posted here), the Win10 ISO can be downloaded here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

Anyone else had Android 5.1.1 pushed to their devices? My Sony Z3C just got the update, and it certainly feels more fluid and polished than 5.0.1 (which the update replaced), and battery performance is slightly better...

Coug, the whole minimum wage debate has been going for years here in Australia as well, and fortunately past Australian governments have been quite good in keeping minimum wages increasing each year in line with CPI (consumer price index) increases each year. CPI has been roughly 2.5-3% per...

Umm... reminds me of this...

Yep... until auto manufacturers move back to less integrated designs...

Doug, thanks for the link, very interesting... Looks like the way Samsung SSDs were doing things highlighted this bug in the kernel... I always love comments like "callers responsibility" and "there is no problem, I think" on source code and mailing list comments, as they truly do radiate...

The blacklists are generally for devices that misreport capabilities. eg, they say can do function X, but when you try to use function X, it doesn't work according to the agreed contract...

I'd be very, very interested in seeing the Linux kernel patch...

Like LM, I suspect corporate models won't be as locked down allowing for other OSes (especially Dell and HP as they support RHEL/Suse), but general consumer stuff you find at the local big retailers will certainly be locked down...
