I'm looking for a player that can output to VGA and loop a video clip on an external monitor. Cheaper is better, the clip is likely to be 5 minutes or less. Sansa Fuse for $80? Can it do it?

If it's slow you should sync a couple minutes earlier, or you may "skip" your start time altogether.

Other than MS' Surface, is there another commercially available multitouch table? I've seen a number of DIYs, but am looking for something more stable and of higher quality than I could do myself.

Happy birthday! As a percentage, I keep getting closer ;)

Still do:

Google's SMTP used to support another, non-standard port for such occasions.

IIRC, MSDN gives you retail keys for 7, so it isn't even as annoying as it used to be.

That looks like a bootlegger's dream...

IE is the equivalent of a condom that has been hit with a shotgun. Google is the one telling you they are collecting information, MS is the one that has been caught over and over collecting information without telling you. Which would you prefer?

I have been hooked playing Desktop TD Pro on the Casual Collective for over a week...wow.

Hey, you are partially responsible for teaching me to appreciate good porn. A Google images search for stacked doesn't return any.

Because he like MS collecting info on him and considers the Viruses a challenge?

You haven't seen speedy until you have your OS on an SSD.

I have a 16GB, but my phone doesn't like it full of MP3s.

In addition to what you would expect, I found this completely safe and cool picture.

That price range is difficult to understand, really. You'll end up with cars like mine (2003 VW Golf GL, manual, 184,000 miles) with plenty of dings and wear but nothing major. Or you could end up with something truly trashed internally that seems OK for an older car on the outside. I'm not...

Had a weird question, found a good answer. Neat. What did the US DOE do for you today?

It looks like they are just intentionally crippling the i7 core and offering it much cheaper. Still a good deal; fast chip, low power, decent price, but I hate it when corporations do this artificial product differentiation BS.

Is it bootable?

At least for my use, deltacopy isn't that important. Each file isn't that big, and isn't likely to be edited that much. If it has to copy an entire file each time it is changed, that's OK. So long as it doesn't have to copy unchanged files every day.

I think the reason you are having a hard time finding it is because it couldn't work. Even if it was just for charging, IIRC, the USB bus needs to allocate power to the device.

Something else to keep in mind; I bet that original design is pretty darn quick for STR. Perhaps not using the drives to their full potential, but I bet it could saturate most network links pretty easily.

It is a slick install, and I'm sure it is the cheapest way to do 67TB.

I'm looking for something like this as well, only I need it to support shadow copy, as some files are always in use.

I've done consolidations like that plenty of times. Here is my low-risk method. Get a new box (C2D with 8GB sounds right) and install ESXi or VMWare Server on it, install the VMWare converter on it as well. Migrate all the machines to the new server, be sure to only have one or the other...

The OS sees all the drives, but performance is limited. All drives on the channel have the speed of one connection split amongst them.

Something is wrong with my center channel speaker, it simply isn't putting out the volume that it should. It is much quieter than the other channels no matter what I do. Perhaps I blew it out? Anyway, in the market for a new one. The other speakers in the setup are the cheap ones that came with...

Received my 8 1.5GB Samsung units yesterday. Each was in a plastic clamshell, in a box full of peanuts. Yuk. I'll be testing them thoroughly.

It would be awesome if I could convert that cache to a hard drive. Even 4GB would be plenty for our workstations. One less component in the system.

There are many reasons not to like the oversized fans, not being able to replace them with something quieter being #1 on my list, but they do move a massive amount of air very quietly. They are often the best way to cool a warm machine.

I actually haven't had a drink in about 7 months. I used to drink quite a bit, but don't think I ever had a problem with it. Just decided to stop and my life (and health) have been better. Made the trip to Vegas much cheaper, too.

If I'm putting in 6 drives, I'm also putting in a good PSU and solid cooling...typically that doesn't spell budget case. I'd probably do the Antec Three Hundred.

I use a slingbox for a similar purpose...

That is fantastic. I love how sharp everything is.

That is one of the reasons I'm back to 100% XP-64.

That looks awesome...I gotta get me some of that.

I have 8 on the way...has anyone benched them yet?

Some of mine are at 5+ years as well. Of course, I redirected paging and logfiles to RAMDISK.

I know it isn't good enough for some, but the audio that my ATI card puts on the HDMI is fine for me.

You are right, of course, which was their intention. They aren't selling you a movie, they are selling you a disk with the movie as garbled as possible. That chart looks a lot better when step 1 involves removing the protection...

Yeah, a new tripod and all associated gear is also on "the list". Unfortunately, "a house" is now in front of everything else on "the list".

Speaking of bottlenecks...

Changing topic slightly. I find that the things that are far away that I would want to photograph are things that tend to move (birds, cars, people). This lends itself to hand-held shots (as tracking is required). Hand-holding at even 480mm (35mm eq) is near impossible in anything but bright...

The 5DI still costs considerably more, so I would expect it to. IIRC, the FF sensor helps as well.

That would probably be my threshold as well. I'm 6'2", and my wife is 5'10".

I have 1.5TB of SSDs....that is pretty crazy, too ;)

Yup.

Yup, all blank except the Vertex (OS). My 16/32/64GB drives are out at the moment, but I'll try to test them when they get back.

All is well in the Google world.

Interesting results...
