Not up to a certain size. I don't remember exactly, but it is pretty darn big. Which Gyro were you looking at for stills? I assume you mean handheld?

That is massively good. I love that he has a camera mount on his helmet.

I did, but the Noise and Comfort ratings weren't high enough. As much as I like pushing the car, this is my daily driver, and I can't compromise the comfort too much.

We'll see how happy I am when they show up. When I was shopping around, I was doing so without price being a consideration. Only after I had the top three sorted did I look at price. The only one above the DWs was the Pirelli P-Zero for double the price, so I think I did OK ;)

Well, I was using Adobe Bridge, but it does not making copying/moving files very easy. And if all you are doing is glancing into a folder to see what is in there, having to launch any program is more work than it should be.

The ride and noise ratings were much worse for the Hankooks.

I'd like to see one built, just so I could see it. Maybe get a view from the top.

All the resellers are sourcing them from some warehouse somewhere, it's just that the money bought me someone to pick up the phone and get them coming.

Being able to view thumbnails in Explorer makes my life much easier. Having to open Adobe Bridge just to see what pictures I'm dealing with is a PITA. Something as simple as identifying an HDR set becomes much simpler.

Just ordered a set of Continental ExtremeContact DW tires for my car (225/40-18). While the Tire Rack and others advertise low prices, none of them can give me an ETA for availability. My local shop will have them for me by the middle of next week, but after shipping, install, alignment...

I actually like the windmills ;) Though I understand the offshore kind generate more power anyway.

Thanks Pradeep. Though that is still over $500. Looks like a good unit.

Sweet. Now I can ditch Bridge. Thanks for the link!

The size isn't particularly relevant; there is plenty of unused space in the world. The cost to build, the cost to maintain, and the amount of power it generates are the important figures, IMHO.

Got back into basic 2D tower defense games after playing Sanctum for a while and realizing that the FPS part was my weakness. I had played on the Casual Collective before, and now had to create an account on Facebook to play their new version. If anyone is interested in some multiplayer Desktop...

time, I agree that their power figures seem considerably high. I assume you were following this more closely while they were trying to build it there? Do you have any links to the Chinese version? Even if the power figure is considerably lower, if the longevity were good enough, it would...

Fixed. Thanks!

How to change the subnet of an existing MS DHCP Scope Just saved my butt...thought I'd share.

Nope. I don't do much video.

My SanDisk Extreme Digital CF cards have "90MB/s" printed on them, but copies to the card are never faster than 15MB/s and from rarely exceed 30MB/s using a SanDisk Extreme USB2.0 reader. I'd love to know what it would take to get closer to 90MB/s. What are you guys using?

Recent cheap 5400RPM SATA drives have been incredibly unreliable in RAID arrays. There is much speculation as to why.

Indeed, the cheapest I can get a U2411 for is $503.

Not saying that it isn't bullshit, but all the numbers are massively theoretical until one is built. My intuition is that power output will be massively nonlinear with regard to size, due to the many metrics that scale in a complimentary fashion.

They are arguing that this would continue to produce power through most of the night, considering the latent heat stored in the desert floor, and the considerably lower temperature at high altitude regardless of surface temperature.

For $400 the gamut is quite good. The best for the 24" sub-$500 monitors, I think.

I was just reading about that. I would want to hear why this company failed to build it in Australia (which was their first pick, for many years) from someone besides the company founder. I do like the concept, and would love to check out the view from the top.

Sweet. Figures this would come out right after I order 4 P2411s :(

I think a few of us contributed...my number was 9 ;)

Faster, just not a whole lot. Certainly not slower.

PM me your e-mail

Indeed ;)

I had that problem with original Vertex drives. Not the noise, but the label coming off. Including the "this will void your warranty" label.

Nope. House party. I suspect it was unauthorized in some way. ;)

Most people that have access to it also have access to appropriate safety equipment. I was the only person there who wasn't either a grad student or instructor at Stanford.

It isn't as much fun. 1. Make batter 2. Add LN 3. Stir like crazy I didn't say it tastes better, it really has nothing to do with the ice cream itself. It is just a lot of fun.

Awesome. The last time we made ice cream, we used liquid nitrogen. That was a lot of fun.

Am I the only one that is annoyed at Dell for shipping their monitors with the VGA cable connected? On both the U2711 and these P2411s they've left the VGA cable connected, and threaded it through the Styrofoam packing in such a way that it comes out of the box at once and promptly comes apart...

It sounds like MelbourneIT.com.au has some fundamental technical fault? Do they fail to meet the DNS spec? I've never heard of that problem before, and I've used 4 or 5 different registrars here.

Went and saw "Avenue Q" in San Jose today; it was awesome. The stage was the same height as the front row of seats, and we were front and center. Songs include "Sucks to be you", "Everyone's a little bit racist", and the famous "The Internet is for Porn". Highly recommended.

Nope ddrueding is ddrueding. Edit: Of course, that is after the MBF...before that I think I only had another 1.5k posts. I'm not particularly memorable ;)

Didn't realize what an understatement that was. My second post was on 02-04-2002, 09:22 PM My third post was on 11-17-2003, 10:03 PM Spent most of that time quasi-homeless and drifting, didn't realize it was over a year and a half!

I'd like that. My old e-mails got lost along the way, but IIRC it was Tony that dropped me a cryptic e-mail with a link to this place. I joined right away, but then didn't come back for quite some time (my life was quite dynamic at the time).

I would agree, but I certainly don't want to pay for his room and board until he dies of old age. That is why I support the death penalty, much cheaper than "life without parole".

Nah, I think it is the switch giving bogus info; the receiver is also connected, and it only supports 1080P. As soon as I bypassed the switch and went direct, everything was fine.

If you can't fine one elsewhere, I have some AuzenTech cards sitting around.

You're joking, right? Memory compatibility lists on non-server hardware have been spotty for years. RAM is RAM (or should be). If the speed/voltage/type of RAM is supported by the motherboard, it should work.

You did a complete re-image to new hardware? OS and all? Same name? Same IP? I've done that plenty of times without having to remove/re-add workstations.

It is awesome. The best color and uniform brightness I've ever seen. It is darn heavy, and not exactly cheap, but it is great. My only complaint (and not about the monitor) is that I can't get my HDMI matrix switch to support any resolution beyond 1920x1080.

An old roommate had a big yellow sign on the door to his office: "Warning: 10,000 Ohms" I thought it was funny.

10 a week.
