Reality does have a liberal bias...

From what I understand, the most recent batch of docs was released to a number of papers around the globe for analysis and redaction before anything was released. This means that the decision to release the docs was a fairly common one. If the press felt the need to release the docs as well (and...

? So knives are bad because they can stab people? Fire is bad because it burns down people's homes?

After doing battle with sales prices, price matching, and a massive stock shortage of some killer deals, this is what I will hopefully be ordering tomorrow.

Just ordered Comcast for the house. The rep kept trying to talk me into adding tv to my internet order and seemed amazed that I wasn't interested in any number of channels at any price.

This is an important point. Wikileaks is a tool; a way for people to anonymously publish information. A tool that performs this task is invaluable in modern society, corruption and cronyism exists at such high levels that no other technique will get this information out. The value of this...

There are special ends for solid cable, I use it for my outdoor antenna stuff.

No appreciable difference for GbE between 5e and 6. If there was a kink, the concern is that it damaged the cable, not that the kink slows communication. I would probably make a holes a bit bigger, and use great stuff to seal them up when you are installed.

Depends on the NIC, but Intel NIC software will give you stats WRT transmit errors.

Did you put the ends on in the correct order? The different pairs have a different number of twists per foot, making that significant.

That is awesome. Props to TSA and NYPD for not freaking out.

I'm a big fan of cutting spending on everything else as well, but if the Iraq war cost (conservatively) $3T+ and wasn't paid for, that is gross financial negligence.

Something like this?

I'll give it a shot when I get home, thanks.

Wow. That is absolutely nuts. Glad I only have to deal with 110 most of the time; it is only a minor annoyance.

I haven't gotten anything new since we last spoke about this.

Ultimate

See image. Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-H57M-USB3 I'd like to use more than half my RAM.

Miss me yet?

Clinton had it fixed. That wasn't all that long ago...

Because we fought two wars without paying for them? Not particularly responsible, but one would hope that, had their been proper disclosure to the people, there wouldn't have been enough buy-in to get us there. Another argument for transparency.

Because working with your arms extended to a vertical work surface is as uncomfortable as working with your head bent looking at a horizontal work surface?

Not sure. I do occasionally hit the edit button instead of the quote button, but canceling doesn't make the "edited by" thingy show up.

I just eyeball them. Keeping the drive against the back rail, and "feeling" it in. I don't think I'm busting it up too badly; of course, anything plugged/unplugged enough times will break.

What are you mounting 2.5" disks into? What thickness of drive is expected? What drive are you using?

It really is all about the screen size. A friend bought a blueray player and was disappointed as he didn't see a quality improvement. I introduced him to 1080p on my 120" screen. He now has a 120" screen.

I think it was more about what Iran's neighbors had to say in those cables, letting Iran realize it is far more lonely than it thought.

This is very useful, thanks. Torque is easy to demonstrate with a torque wrench. HP, not so much.

Congrats to Lunar for 6,000 posts!

The one I have has a pair of eSATA ports on the back, one per drive. No PM required.

Do you happen to have a howto on that somewhere?

There's a pill for that. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

My local news is from my local NPR affiliate. The weather is easy enough online.

One of the things I like most about torrenting is that it prevents me from burning hour after hour not watching anything in particular. I find a show I like, download all of them, and then watch them over the next months when I feel like them. TVTorrents will even add your favorite shows to a...

I've never seen IDE ones, but I have several of these. Some here have had reliability problems with them, however.

I wouldn't have to at all if it weren't for DRM. That still sucks.

They all are some level of crap; particularly the audio connections (front audio connections always suck) and the SD slots. But I've had several that worked for over a year, and they are quite cheap.

Wow. I've never re-benched the things, or kept the original data for comparison. Where does it settle out to?

I'm looking for a good analogy/explanation of horsepower. Torque is easier because it can exist in a static-ish system. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Yes. The question is: If you give 8 recently released titles to someone who has not updated their bluray player in over a year, with they work? And the answer is: maybe. That sucks.

We have a computer hooked to the projector. We have a netflix subscription, combined with Bittorrent for stuff that doesn't air in the US. When we move I will likely get a basic cable subscription along with the data, a decent antenna and a HomerunHD.

This one has eSATA as well.

Heard an interesting one today, though I don't buy it. That the leaks were intentional by the govt, in order to get the message across to Iran that nobody likes them, and that they better straighten up and fly right.

Thanks flagreen, that was a long wait ;)

At the moment all of my production ESXi machines came with Intel or Broadcom NICs in them, but I'm in the process of building a smaller machine for a smaller company. It will run 3 2003-2008 servers for about a dozen people. Quiet is important. It will be in a P183 chassis and run a 3Ghz...

Great post Gilbo. I now await the brief "oh yeah?" response.

Just noticed that the firewall service isn't starting. That may have happened with lspfix. Doing a parallel install now.

Repair install, re-did everything above, still broken. Win Update, Activation, even NOD32 update worked this time, but still no Firefox, Chrome, or IE.

Interesting. Their Server Product is also very interesting. Massively reasonable considering the competition.

No doubt. But I like how easy WHS is to set up nightly workstation imaging, and My Movies is awesome.
