Looks like it could be an hour or more.

All my Google Apps accounts are down at the moment, and have been for about 10 minutes so far. This is the first outage I've noticed.

If someone can propose a decent performance test, I'll be happy to benchmark mine against it...

Here is an interesting tip. Women don't think of it like that. If they do, it's in a paranoid/weird way. Comparing notes with my wife after we were dating, the first couple months of my maneuverings/tactics were completely undetected by her. From her point of view, we were friends and "just...

Sweet. The only times I've driven 1000+ miles to be with a female-type person who wasn't my grandmother were certainly dates.

Thanks for the link. Looks good. The ISO12800 test shot is noisy, but at least it has ISO12800. And I wouldn't need to ditch all my -S lenses.

I just noticed it yesterday, when I sent 3Ware an e-mail and it went to 3waresales@lsi.com.

The reviews seem to imply that the C1 is OEM packaged.

It isn't known for speed, and I haven't benchmarked them, but I'm fond of the OCZ Diesel. Just bought a pair of 16GB ones for on-the-road photo backup.

Well, at least they have figured out supply and demand. All we can do is curse Intel until they get the supply thing figured out.

That's nothing, the 160GB drive is now at $900. With the 250GB Vertex at $725, there is no valid reason to buy Intel at the moment.

I'm ready to buy a pair of 160GB G2s as soon as they are available. I look forward to testing them against my 128GB Vertex drives in RAID-0.

Thanks LiamC. Another great article that took lil'ol'me more than an hour to digest.

I actually spent a couple hours reading about fonts at one point, and learned quite a bit. I then went back to using Tahoma for everything.

Michael Jackson was a nut, and they always find ways to fuck up. Asking things of your doctor that aren't recommended is #1 on that list.

Guess I should start saving up for L-series glass, then. Or should I be looking to Nikon, too? The mucking about with the 5DII is annoying, but I don't have the money for it at the moment anyway.

I would agree with Pradeep. Best doctors and hospitals, but that has very little to do with "health care".

You don't want to be carrying around BD disks while traveling anyway. Just rip it to the hard drive and save your battery.

Um....no....it wasn't. Thanks. (I'm in Vegas, things are weird here.)

I think Stereodude has the right approach. When I didn't have insurance, when the secretary asked for my insurance information, my response was "I have cash". That usually worked.

That is very healthy performance, Stereodude.

I think I have an 8506 I could compare it to when I get back...

Looks like a poor RAID-5 implementation to me. My 9650SE-16 does much better writes.

Batteries.com usually offers both OEM and their own brand. Theirs is usually cheaper with higher capacity.

They just aren't pricing them high enough...

I think you are drawing a line that doesn't exist. A lot of HBO is just soft-core kiddie-porn. Granted, there is a lot of bad porn out there, and because there is so little press/review of the material, you don't know what you are getting. I have seen many porn movies that have better plot...

Never used them. I'm sticking with web apps from the major players at the moment.

Just for he record, Verizon's two data plans are 5GB or 500MB/mo. At least that's what my account rep is giving me.

I use RAID primarily because it makes a large amount of contiguous space available for easy file management. Some redundancy/availability is nice, and the speed boost is always appreciated, but it just makes file management easier.

The trip to the Grand Canyon was cut short when it passed 121F at the Hoover Dam. We had switched to a Jaguar to save money, and it sucked.

That does suck.

Biggest issue so far. When they are stacked, the foot of one aligns perfectly with the power-button of the next. Once you go over thirty high, the weight alone is enough to power the bottom one on. With just a pair, attempting to turn on the top one does them both.

I now have (literally) a stack of 30 of these sitting on my desk. At $60/mo each, I can practically see the dollar bills pouring into them.

How exactly did you figure this? Not actually a fan...

SW3 would do a good job of giving you usage of the whole network. In fact, there is even a VM'ed version that you could run on another machine, provided it had 2 NICs.

Which one is that?

I already have three screens, does that mean I'll need five? I only check on the stocks every 30 minutes or so when I'm in the office, and twice a day if I'm out.

We have now found an actual use for those crazy "laptops" made by Alienware and the like. Though I would probably use a decked-out shuttle box for the task instead. Certainly not a task for a netbook, though.

Nice pictures. I went to the Salinas Airshow a couple weekends ago. Blue Angels and a great A-10 demonstration, but no B-1 or B-2. And no camera (I forgot) :(

Going to the Grand Canyon on Thursday, supposed to be 110F+. Good thing I rented a Bentley Continental, it should have good air conditioning.

I was doing BRK.b for a while, but the GOOG was outperforming constantly. I also played with GE, but it's been hurting lately. I also got some good action with F and BAC when they were in the hole, doubled up quickly and GTFO ;)

The instant I associated my google account with youtube, my system BSOD'd and startup repair is unable to fix it. This ends my farking about with 7, as the machine will get an image copy from the near-identical machine at home that is running XP x64. The only thing I will miss is the win+left...

I did an Ubuntu install (desktop with a GUI, not the "server" command line) for a VMWare server install, but ESXi is just better.

I'm a big fan of mine. I don't even have a "normal" laptop anymore. Gave it to my wife who never really takes it anywhere.

Interesting

Yup. I'm not a fan. But I do understand why it is there (old ladies kicked out of their homes just because of property tax).

I've deployed a few as such ;)

Yup. The PCIe 1x cards are probably the cheapest fast cards you can get.

Even if it is their netbook, I would guess that if you are going, they would want you to use/test/have the netbook.
