JTR, I can see your first point, but your second makes me shudder. Who exactly is going to be limiting the expenditures of a company? If the answer is anything but the shareholders, I call foul. If it is a privately held company (like mine), the boss can do whatever he wants. I (with his...

You are correct. I would love to see a classically designed, elegant, formal, digital watch. Something with a high-res OLED or ePaper display.

I suspect they were that way going in...

I use a massive, randomly-generated string. Around 48 characters.

Interesting. I knew that ignorance of something better makes you more happy, and that being more happy with your own life encourages you to act more charitably. But this seems to imply something more complex.

It only takes 100TB of intercepted data to crack instead of 300TB....or something to that effect.

I know. I was making a joke about your tendency to humanize your components.

Ah. We were giving them names and nationalities, I thought gender was fair game. I don't know the rules yet. ;-)

I hate it when she does that.

Mouse and keyboard make no difference. CD-ROM and other devices will work as well, but much slower.

No, but I did just download CentOS for some testing...I might start there if it's easier.

OpenFiler looks cool, but it looks like a bare-metal package? All I want to do is turn some storage space on my Server 2003 machine into an iSCSI target.

I was going to mount the iSCSI to the ESXi server itself, and backup entire VMs to the store.

The target will be Server 2003. I'll just allocate a chunk of the RAID array to it and use the same GbE link for both. It will be a backup target for the VMs, they will continue to live local to the ESXi server.

Funny you should post this right now. At this very moment I have the Microsoft iSCSI initiator open on my main file server, preparing it to host some stuff to my ESXi machines. I have made no progress so far, but it is quite a coincidence.

Working great so far, and much cheaper than $900 ;)

Thanks Handy, but it doesn't look like either Clonezilla or Partimage support initiating the clone from within Windows. I'm looking for something I can install over RDC, initiate over RDC, and that the machine will come back up (fingers crossed) so I can connect to it afterward.

Just a follow up to see what people are using these days? I'm currently after something that can do a Windows Server-class OS (2003, 2003R2, maybe 2008R2) from within windows (I'll be doing it remotely). Cheap is good, free is better, but works is most important. Also, has anyone here tried...

I feel that the sample is heavily biased towards those with a negative experience.

No, but there is a correlation between number of units sold and number of DOAs complained about.

You want some more -Es?

The thought of computer parts as an investment is just silly.

I have 4 30GB Vertex, 2 160GB G2, and 2 32GB -Es on my shelf right now...

Using a server as an additional workstation, capturing data from remote devices, outputting data to remote devices. We use those last two for some of our GIS stuff; Server connects to statically mounted GPS and uploads the data via cellular uplink. Both were Bluetooth when I got here (I've...

Just a local fundraising dinner/auction for kids in protective custody.

I think that is awfully presumptive of them.

Sikuli is already helping me out. I like how it is installed and runs on my machine, but can control machines I have RDC'ed to or connected via other methods. I already created a simple one for windows updates on whatever machine I look at.

Random: I came very close to being the owner of a small arsenal of weapons tonight. Assault shotguns, .308s, .22s, and a pink .17. That was the weirdest fundraiser auction I've ever been to. I'm used to winning wine, or golf, or a cruise...I did end up coming home with a serious collection of...

Ah. Lame. I wonder if 2003R2 does.

If you are coming this way I can get you some clients. Hell, I can get you some work-from-home stuff anytime you like.

42" does seem to be around the best bang/buck these days, with sets up to 52" being reasonably priced.

My thoughts pretty much match Handruin.

A whole lot? It also depends on your storage subsystem.

Indeed. I can't visualize a workflow that would include having that many tabs open at once, but whatever works for him...

Couldn't agree more. I would pay quite a bit for such a thing. The folks at SlySoft should put one together.

That is neat. I'll see if I can use it with Desktop Tower Defense to get a competitive edge ;)

I'm ripping and encoding just the movies for both DVD and BR. In hindsight, if storage space wasn't a concern, I would do ISO for everything. IIRC, MPC-HC will play ISOs straight.

I don't know much about this stuff, but here it is. If you can find a phone that supports tethering, then one device with voice+data might be cheaper than two separate devices, but I know nothing about your options there. Sprint and Verizon both offer the MiFi 2200 device with two data plans...

Pandora added about 20MB to my FF load.

Unless you are able to prioritize the VoIP packets, excessive traffic on the internet connection will cause some packets to be delayed or dropped. Not good for a phone call.

11 tabs, including some flash, auto-refresh, google docs, and other stuff. 237MB.

I have no opposition to people wanting to kill themselves. So long as they aren't doing it in a car.

We've been using it for a few years. Make sure you have some good QoS on your line, or Torrenting will interrupt phone calls.

About 6 months ago, it even included an EKG. It was also my first ever (no health insurance). I do have some random issues, and a multi-day heart monitoring system is probably in order, along with a sleep monitor to diagnose apnea or similar, but I haven't got the time.

You'll be fine.

He means that they get around the "with hardware" requirement by selling it with some hardware, sometimes a single screw. The "OEM" is some silly rule to justify the pricing. Don't worry about it at all. The mouse is identical.

At first it was because of a conflict with some medication, then because I was working too hard. Finally I did have a couple glasses of red wine one night and woke up feeling like crap. Now that I'm out of practice, it isn't much fun anymore.

Sorry for that. It happens if I post too late at night. It used to be when I was drinking, but now that I stopped drinking, sleep deprivation seems to do the same thing.

That name is already reserved for a certain group of their users...

Even closer to home...
