That would be a waste.

My ink vendor includes a 1lb bag on M&Ms (peanut) with any order over $200. It isn't marketed anywhere, it just shows up.

If the new heatsink requires a back bracket other than stock, and the chassis doesn't have a rear cutout for such things, you will need to remove the motherboard. Be careful about how much pressure is required to remove the HSF; I've had older ones stick so tightly to the chip that it pulled...

The aux port in the trunk turns off, but the one in the console stays on in my cars.

The input on all of the dedicated GPS units suck. The best item I've found for the task is an iPhone/Pad.

I like the original, I suppose this one could be interesting.

I meant that you have to pay a massive amount to overcome those hurdles.

This is why I've practically given up on zooms; every step is considerably more money: First the quality is poor, then the speed, then the weight. I still haven't gotten the 100-400 because it is so darn heavy.

That does look like a neat toy, but not fast enough for me.

I have many friends with contractors licenses who are helping me out, and hopefully, they know what they are doing. Also structural engineers, electricians, plumbers, roofers, etc. I'm doing the work, but to their specification and with their inspection and sign-off.

We'll see :bleh:

I've only had the money to do it for ~10 years ;)

The house had a laundry room, which was wired for an electric dryer, and which we are turning into a bathroom. Our washer and dryer were too large to fit there in any case, so I had to put them in the garage. Because this is an older house, and we plan on fitting both cars in the garage, space...

Sorry. Scrambling to get the laundry working. Had to change the orifice to run on natural gas instead of propane, plumb the natural gas, plumb the water, drill through the stucco for the dryer vent, run the electrical, etc.

Yup. Just plug them in and off you go.

It is. This particular piece of equipment has been failing for a couple weeks, and is backordered all the way to the factory. Typically simply cycling the power will get it going for another couple weeks. This time I cycled the power and it didn't come back up at all, so I got to rebuild a power...

Mine happens to be an X58, so you are in luck ;)

It wasn't supposed to be a full day; called in for an emergency that I thought I had already diagnosed as a 5 minute fix. It wasn't.

The ICH on some newer Intel boards.

The closest I ever got to there was taking the night train from Bangkok to Chiang Rai to do some trekking near the Cambodian border. Rode some semi-wild elephants, made a bamboo raft and took it down a river for the better part of a day, smoked some opium and hashish, kissed a cobra. Ah, to be...

Nothing but house is happening for me for a long time. Though, to be honest, I pretty much have a set of lenses (10-500mm and macro). And it's not like the hardware I have is the limiting factor in my pictures.

When I went to work (6AM) it was 38F and dark. When I came home from work (9PM) it was 46F and dark. I'm told it was a lovely, sunny day. :(

I have 3 USB drives and 4 internal. All working well, though I'm not exactly thrashing them (mostly backups).

I really enjoy the islands past Phuket, and the areas near the northern border.

No, they just don't work that well as stools. One failed during window installation, the other during sheet rocking.

It can't be that important if precipitation exceeds a foot a month.

During construction I managed to break both toilet seats.

Indeed. I'm in the process of sending some backups of my data to 3TB USB drives. At 100MB/s it still takes forever.

It is still far from ready. No interior doors, no blinds, no kitchen, no flooring, no closets, a bunch of plywood where a french door should be, and a bunch of stuff isn't painted. But we are out of money, so we move in.

Moving into the house we bought today. Our offer for the house was accepted 363 days ago, and we got the keys 6 months ago. Since then $80k+ has gone into the place.

I didn't have any issues adding a bunch of 3TB SATA drives to my system quite a while ago.

I've found that the best bang for the buck at the moment is 23" wide screen monitors for about $160 at Costco.

Oh, I've finally have some live users in my sights. Watch out Dan (9.5mos) and Pradeep (9.9mos) ;)

Laramie is beautiful, the least objectionable part of Wyoming, IMHO. Snows less, pretty country, near CO.

Wow. I suspect that I would notice some time before a tumor reached even 10% of my body weight.

That is an excellent shot. I was thinking of driving up to Fremont's Peak Observatory that night, but it has been storming like crazy, and that road is sketchy enough in the dry during the day.

I heard an interesting idea yesterday on NPR; make savings rates part of your credit score.

Nope. Just RAID0.

Still crossing my fingers. Dozens in place everywhere, including servers, without any failures.

Afraid not. VMWare just works too well for my needs to bother with other stuff.

I remember it from a kid, with vague kid-like memories. "oh, cool!". Then I would watch it, and realize that there really wasn't a plot at all "that sucks". Of course, the "oh, cool" memory would stick around longer, and I would be tricked into deciding to watch it again.

I've got Michael Jackson and John McCain. ;)

Those are nice shots, Sol. Glad I'm not living there, though. It got down to 38F (3C) here last night.

Meh. I took a look at the Wikipedia site for the date, and found one that was interesting. I could have done Cal Ripkin Sr, I suppose.

Indeed. I hope you are enjoying your day (that you share with Jaimee Foxworth)

True enough, but that would only be 2TB of online backup service.

Being a company with more than one site, there is no need to pay someone else for off-site backup. Just stick a server with a bunch of drives at another site and back up to it.

Not banned. He just made that his avatar. No idea why.

Put them in an oven around 150F for half a day.

That looks like a cool product. Doesn't look like there is much of a lens selection though.
