Not an answer to your question, but this is the one I would get right now for me.

Another interesting TED talk: Science can answer moral questions.

No, I have backups.

Yup, that is the expected behavior. I've had arrays take a week to rebuild. The drive that is pegged is the one storing the CRC data, it will cycle through all the drives eventually.

It has been recognized all around that I need a staff, but the money simply isn't there at the moment. The best I can do is keep my head down and dodge the pay cuts.

I was able to pick the correct drive order, and I confirmed that the array is supposed to start at sector 63, and confirmed the stripe size, but it still wouldn't see anything. I gave up, started the restore from backup, sent an e-mail to 100+ people saying the primary shared drive would be...

I'm sure you know this, but the battery stats are lies. The more reputable the vendor, the smaller the lie, but none are true.

It is, but I'm not in it for the model bit; I'm in it for the rocket bit.

Interesting, thanks Pradeep. Just found leftover spaghetti in the kitchen...awesome.

It notified me that all data would be destroyed, and I clicked yes. However the operation happened way too quickly to have actually re-written all the sectors, so I suspect the data is still there. The other drive is still dynamic and "broken". Lovely idea, but I am a one-man show here, and...

I have RAID Reconstructor running now, but it can't find the correct settings? I thought MS Dynamic SoftRAID started at sector 63, but it isn't having it.

I just clicked "Convert to Basic Drive" one of the drives in a Dynamic RAID-0 array. When it said "Are you Sure? This will destroy all data. Don't be Stupid." I clicked yes. I would really like to get that data back. Is Get Data Back the tool for this job? I'm starting to Google now, but am in...

I have a shopping cart at Apogee for a 3" (75mm) diameter rocket with support for 24mm motors. RockSim 9 won't run on 7-x64 so I can't get the exact numbers at the moment. Looks like the rocket alone (no motors, no launch gear, no camera) will run about $100.

...and LunarMist wins the prize for either obscure knowledge or determined Googling!

Estes has a pre-made cheap version of what I am after here. Low-res, 9FPS, no sound, blah. I just ordered the HD cam linked in the OP, we'll see how it does when it gets here.

Right....

Very good info, Uda. Though I won't be doing F-class motors at all to start. Even if I could just get a D12 to send it up a couple hundred feet from a park in town, the footage would look pretty cool. Based on this altitude predictor, I have about 200g or payload to manage 250ft. That sounds...

Speaking of multi-stage, I did build and fire a Commanche-3 (once), it sure was pretty while we could see it.

When I was a kid, I built at least 30 rockets. The trick to likely recovery was to get the rocket back down as quickly as possible. Don't use an 18" parachute when a 12" will do, and use a streamer unless the decent rate will cause damage on impact. Of course, the worst crashes are when the...

They are indeed.

Interesting. My mother teaches at an elementary school nearby, and I used to do rocket demonstrations for them. I figured this would probably go that direction if it worked. My plan was to have the camera pointed straight out the side at the horizon, with the option of having a mirror mounted in...

Handruin is probably the answer you are looking for, then.

If all else is equal, I'll buy the Samsung every time.

Our fearless leader ;)

I'm thinking of getting back into this, loved it when I was a kid. Of course, I want to stick an HD video camera in it. When I was 10, the best I could do was an Estes kit with a roll of 110 film in it. So the rocket part isn't difficult or expensive. What I'm looking for is the...

In the Something Random thread, if something garners one response, it was a worthy post.

Granite Digital is not cheap, but they are very good. If you are looking for something solid, they are a good choice.

I just downloaded the latest PowerChute software from the website. I can check the version when I get home.

It isn't that difficult to sort out the trolls from those simply with an unpopular opinion. I, for the most part, stay clear of the details of the Apple slamming because I only have one actual Apple laptop (MBP) and a couple of iPods that I don't use. Therefore I am not in a position of...

I mentioned virtualization to Greg after showing him the workstation backup capabilities of Windows Home Server. Considering Greg uses his "server" as more than just a file and backup server, running WHS as the only OS wasn't feasible. However, using a free tool like VirtualBox or VMWare Server...

The stock fan on that enclosure is crazy loud, and had long ago been replaced with a Vantec Stealth. Apparently that was enough when the enclosure was in the case, but during the data transfer the enclosure was on the workbench on its own. IIRC, that had a bunch of 10k and some 15k drives in...

The APC software allows me to set when the UPS will intervene, but the narrowest voltage range it will let me select is 88-138v. Is that really OK? I would have set it closer to 95-125 if I could...

Yeah, thanks for the tip.

You should be able to change DNS from behind a smoothwall, I do it all the time. Just hard-code the DNS into your workstation try the following: 8.8.8.8 4.2.2.2 4.2.2.4

:p I was actually thinking of installs that are only radio, router, or other gear.

Handruin, that is exactly how I received my order of the same number yesterday. All drives tested OK.

Just thought I'd throw out a recommendation for the APC Back-UPS RS LCD series (available in 700, 1300, 1500). I just got one for the coffin at home. It basically has a Kill-A-Watt (and then some) built in. Without a connection to a computer or any software, it will tell you voltage, real-time...

Glad to hear it. Just finishing work myself. Time to go home and do some paperwork for the house...

Turns out the Server 2003 one worked...cool!

Looking for drivers...anybody?

Just take a look at all the entries in the Windows DNS server and try to replicate them all. You might have to read up on Samba's DNS implementation.

I haven't tried that before, and the only documentation I've found is youtube ;)

Installing apps on a 2003 Terminal Server does excatly the same thing. Very annoying.

What Merc said.

The objectives on this machine were size and battery life, just upgrading the bits that wouldn't affect those negatively. Of course, I'm now dynamically OC'ing it 27% as well, but that doesn't affect battery life too much over all.

Is the workstations primary DNS pointed to the domain controller?

It is for people who want to video chat but don't have any friends. It connects you to strangers at random.

Of course, only yesterday I ordered 5 of the 1.5TB Samsungs...grr.

Seriously Lunar, just list your bodies in the For Sale forum and you'll be able to afford your 7D.

Fine. Great, even. But I don't ask much of them, they are just light workstations.
