Funny you should say that. I can't get PowerDVD to play the sound for the HDDVD of Ocean's 13. Other movies (Bourne Supremacy, King King, Etc) all work fine.

Does your VoiP device need to act as a router? I was able to get mine to act as a client on the network, no routing stuff, just it's own IP and the relevant ports forwarded to it.

Looks great blakerwry, thanks!

I'm cleaning. We went to a Christmas party last night, we're going to another tonight. My sister might be visiting next week, and we haven't done a real "top to bottom" cleaning of the house in 6 months.

Doh, forgot the link. Theres hardly anything within 10 miles that is <$800/ft

Here is another house in the area, only $1126/ft, but 5000sq/ft on nearly an acre.

Well, it is on a whole 1/3rd of an acre in the most expensive neighborhood in the most expensive city in one of the most expensive areas of the US. That, and they went totally ballistic on everything, maximizing energy efficiency and recycled earth-friendly materials. R-35 worth of insulation...

Went to Olga's company christmas party last night, held at the Sr. Dr's new house. 3200sqft, 2bd 2ba, a 10' tall 19" equipment rack in the office (ceilings are 10-20ft). There is only one right-angle in the whole place, even the hallway expands from 5' to 12' wide as it enters the living room...

And all I have to read is you calling us weak. That is weak-er. ;)

Agreed, unless it is USB1.1 or DMA isn't enabled?

That is a bad record for 750s. I have 10 Seagate 750GB drives in operation at home 24/7. The only one that failed was in your possession at the time (not that I blame you - the USB enclosure was quite dodgy).

I actually feel the opposite. When I had lots of smaller drives, I was always shuffling things around. If the folder for a certain thing grew too large, I would either need to split it or move the whole thing; starting a more massive shuffle. Now I just add drives when I run low on space. If I...

~9TB? Not bad. I'm still sitting at just ~7TB local storage, but mine is all in one array, a bit easier to handle.

Well obviously I won't be giving any technical or composition-based critique, but I really like it. With the title "Red Barn" it has this whole other background. Typically I like pictures that are clear all the way through, I think it gives the subject context. But this one gets it from the...

One was going to be a backup of the other anyway, no?

No doubt. Every fuel costs an amount in energy to get the energy out of the fuel. Best case is probably coal where all we need to do is dig it up, ship it to a coal plant, and build the coal plant. Worst case is probably uranium, that has to be found, dug out, refined, and nuke plants are (used...

Nice graph, stereodude.

So what is it? Pick 3 technologies that combined could provide double the current needs of the planet. Heck, even make all the "green" ones (solar, wind, hydro) count as one. Geothermal? Nuke? Coal? Tidal? Is the carbon cost of Uranium high because of the gas burned to extract it? Why isn't...

Thanks for the info on the build. That is a very nice spec for lab machines. Did Newegg actually ship you boards other than the ones you ordered? Or were the wrong boards in the right box? That is a huge # of RMAs. I would assume Newegg got a bad batch? RMAing them back to Seagate should...

That would be my point. This is a great breakthrough, but no-one will let you have a reactor of any size without an army to defend it. The only way to make an army cost-effective is to have a large reactor. I think a hydrogen economy is where it's at. It's clean and easy to produce; all you...

I was thinking it would be great to go totally off-grid, using any remaining electricity to produce hydrogen for the car.

I'm game. What exactly would stop me from putting one in the backyard of my suburban home? Zoning restrictions?

;) Or use a different mechanism than just a cable. What about a service where they swap out your dead batteries for already charged ones? Of course, there are wear-level issues and the cars/batteries would have to be optimized for it, but with the right design considerations/service plans it...

Or admits and fixes more flaws...

If the batteries can be charged in 5 minutes, how big is the cable? Sorry to hear about you being sick, I was a few weeks ago, and is sucked.

Fair enough. Did the article I linked to provide (to your knowledge) accurate information?

I read the headline for that piece: "Bush signs bill boosting fuel standards" and thought, "cool!". Then I read it is only to 35mpg and only after 2022 and doesn't include SUVs and Trucks. That practically doesn't matter. If American car companies only aim that high, they will be put out of...

That is a posting error we have had for a long time. If you go to the "advanced" and then "save" it will work.

It sounds like you could always use the space. How much on-line storage do you have?

Not necessarily the motherboard, but definatly the heatsink. Depending on your heatsink, that may require the motherboard as well.

Nice. That is a great case, if you can stand to look at it. (Or, like me, have it behind the couch).

The Sonata (I) was a great case, but now that I have P180s and 900s to play with, it seems like old tech.

Check the BIOS settings? I know in some (OEM at least) motherboards there are some crazy SATA (in)compatibility modes.

I didn't mean in a memory way, I meant in a general usability sort of way. Drivers and application compatibility specifically. Not to derail too much, but do you know how Photoshop plays with larger amounts of RAM? Can it use it? Could performance improve with 8GB of RAM and a 6GB image?

I was actually waiting for the bird to begin to fly away. I was approaching, with auto focus dialed in and sports mode set, waiting for the moment when he flew away. But he didn't. I had to stop for fear of kicking him. Then I took a picture and walked away, sad that it wouldn't play my game. Pout.

I have some users whose Exchange mailbox grows over 1GB/yr. One in particular sends ~1000/week.

Why not? Just make a copy first?

Thanks for the link, Pradeep. Those certainly aren't cheap, but it's nice to see some good quality products.

Media Player Classic?

While I can appreciate the concept of eliminating the IRS, and agree that the current system is irreparably broken, I think an income tax is still preferable to a consumption tax. Didn't we have a discussion of a flat tax a couple years ago? The problem with consumption taxes are that the rich...

...and that is not counting all the other threads that have mentioned it as well, or the problems people have that are attributable to Vista.

There was a while where I was getting 74GB raptors in exchange for 32GB ones. Considering pretty much my entire stock had failing SMART data, I sent them all in ;)

I think there are other things you could do that would give you more benefit. How is the lighting around your front yard? Do your cars cast a shadow behind them? Are there lights in the yard/walk that shine from multiple directions? Are there bushes that could help obscure someone? How hidden do...

I'll probably end up getting something like this. Keep in mind that the FPS capability of the card is for all channels combined, and at either 320x240 or 640x480, and that some have hardware compression and some need software. If you have the spare horsepower in your server, you could save some...

Here is the thread where I asked for suggestions. The larger systems I put in were turn-key, server with DVD-R and all the bells and whistles. My research is being very inconclusive, lots of manufacturers I haven't heard of making products that look identical sold by vendors I haven't heard of.

Wifi cameras tend to not work well in groups, they have their own webserver and operate independently. If you want multiple cameras, you might do better with non-IP cameras being captured live at the server. This way you can sync multiple cameras and have better awareness of what is going on...

For some time my sister had a few sugar gliders and a cat as pets. At first I was concerned, but those little suckers could so easily evade the cats that they eventually gave up. The sugar gliders were so light that they would fly across the room, land on your shoulder, and you wouldn't notice...

I have one Seagate that was replaced under warranty. It has served me just as well as the rest.

Type in the serial number here to check.

I like the concept. I just wonder how much additional weight is required.
