That is a healthy time between reboots. Not a record, but well above average certainly.

It is awesome. Already upgraded to 8GB of RAM and the 200GB Vertex LE goes in upon arrival tomorrow. I think that pushes it out of the $800 price range ;)

BofA today reached a new level of stupid. They'd already given final approval, and I've already signed all the documents. The only thing we're waiting on is for them to fund the loan. This morning, they requested another letter of explanation about some inquiries into my credit rating. These...

Thanks for the effort, Coug. But if the Windows client is about the same performance, I can get one set up there.

I have a cake box of TY DVD-DLs, but I don't remember where I got them. I've dropped optical media as well (actually, everything but HDD/SSD).

I was a nobody until I got married. That is a tough sell ;)

This T410 is freaking awesome. I've never felt such a solid keyboard before. A physical switch to turn off all radios. Drip channels that route liquids spilled on the keyboard all the way through and out the bottom of the chassis without invading the machine? How cool is that? My only complaint...

The 7D is larger than I was expecting, and much larger than the XSi.

The very fact that there is a policy about not talking about corporate (or that there is a 'corporate') means that you work for a large, slow-moving company. It also means that they should be able to handle something in addition to their "main challenge" without becoming overwhelmed. ;)

Google's services are the best I've seen for anti-spam. I don't get any, ever, anymore.

It has taken a hit in the last week or so. Not nearly as bad as it used to be, but I'm actually seeing pages load now.

Merc doesn't like the E3000, I think one will be good that isn't available. No one else has voiced an opinion. What exactly were you expecting?

That is the device, but I bet they are lying about availability. Pasadena Networks is my usual vendor.

Which games have the save data sync? I haven't experienced that yet.

I'm not really worried about them going out of business; they are successful and I believe their business model is "the future". I just worry about them changing the terms at some point to something I won't be able to stomach. The #1 feature I like is that I can have the game at work and at...

You got it. I really like this company; their products are amazingly cheap and perform well. The downside is their supply really sucks. It has taken me weeks to get some of their other products.

I have a managed GigE switch that will stay behind this.

I caved on steam. They are evil, and I am at risk of losing access to my games at their whim, but darn it, playing without media or going to the store is too convenient to pass up.

I like Ubiquiti, and plan on getting one of these soon.

My main workstation just did a 6012 in 8 hours. Is that good?

It should work great with SSDs.

The VMWare image can be any size, really. Though smaller is of course better, 20GB+ is OK if required.

Running on the 4Ghz i7 now. Would using the 5870 help? I still just have the one 5870 working, though that will change soon.

I have a few spare machines, but setting it up for maximum production was considerable effort last time I tried. I have quite a few spare cores (8? 64-bit, ~2Ghz) in the VMWare farm, is there a decent VM image I could throw on there? My workstation could be assigned to the purpose, but how...

120%, plus larger fonts in Firefox.

Nice....

Alpha Protocol has been fun so far. It is very buggy and won't work with my Eyefinity at all, but the plot is pleasant and the interactions actually affect the plot in meaningful ways.

You must run a very small font size. I'm 1920 wide and they have a whole line of text between them.

Yeah, I do like it.

Me neither, I'm going sailing ;)

CDDB

Actually, no. So thanks for the link. ;)

Ah, that does suck. Honestly, my installation has my file server right next to my HTPC (in the same chassis, for that matter), but they are still separate machines.

I'd rebuild my network? That is really slow, are you having cabling issues?

I am a mod, if I wanted to just increase a number it would be much easier than actually posting.

Drives are inherently noisy, I'd rather have them off on the network somewhere.

:p I meant sharper than the sigma 175-500 I already have.

Tight space or wanting a clean look.

It is. But the feature set is nice, and you can't beat the form factor or appearance.

The new Mac Mini looks like a pretty good place to start an HTPC. The server version can hold a pair of 500GB drives and 8GB of RAM.

The 100-400 was the first lens I ever considered buying, but for some reason I'd forgotten about it this time around. Thanks for the reminder. Is the new Sigma supposed to be sharper?

That is cool. Almost worth buying an iPad for...

It will be my primary long/handheld/wildlife lens. The Sigma 175-500 is nowhere near sharp enough; and and haze/air quality prevent clear shots at that distance most of the time, anyway. Is one sharper than the other? Does one focus faster? Their weights seem to be pretty close despite the...

Looking at either the 300/4 or the 400/5.6 to go with a 7D. Thoughts?

That is funny. The last time I went to Asia I had to return in coach, and the trip was amazingly bad. I don't have flight anxiety, nor am I traditionally claustrophobic, but something about having to be in a small space and not do anything for that period of time really drives me nuts. In...

I was trying to make it a surprise; a demonstration of my knowledge and a gift for mom, and it was, it just took a hell of a lot longer than a normal build.

I didn't start MtG until 7th edition...before then I didn't have any friends, so playing would have been tough ;)

Munchkin is enjoyable, if a bit simple. It is good for small groups, as it can be taught in about 10 minutes, and after 2 rounds you are an expert.

Looks good.
