Interesting. For at least a few hours last night DNS wouldn't even resolve. I figured you were changing providers.

I've been playing with Linksys WAP54G WAPs, Buffalo WLEDA2 9dBi directional antennas, and the HyperWAP firmware. Great fun, great range. It's amazing what happens when you double the power output to the antennas. Of course, I would never do that, because the FCC doesn't like it.

I'm sorry to hear that Merc, I'm glad you had so much time with him.

<3-ing people would certainly be childish, but I think it is the perfect expression of the emotion one would feel towards their linux boxen...

I received and installed my 7950GT, and when used in conjunction with my onboard 6150 graphics, I'm having serious system freezes. LCDs 1 and 2 are connected to the 7950 via DVI, and Projector 1 is connected to the onboard. Anything that happens on LCD1 or Projector1 work just fine, but most...

Well, after I'm done 'evaluating' it, it will need a home. Considering I'm using 750GB drives, I suspect it would be overkill for my personal needs.

Don't knock Merc's 1337 txt skills!

Your post leads me to believe you have a very good idea of what you aren't, and that you are very capable of expressing that you aren't those things. What you really need is a better way to express what you are. This whole "I'm a still water that runs deep, if you want to get to know me it will...

Yes. This data is going from your server, to your workstation, and back to the server. If you use remote desktop to the server and perform the copy locally you will get better results.

;) I look forward to finding out. I just wish I had 16 identical drives to screw with.

...meaning you haven't met nearly enough people. Careful selection of venue can help, but nothing substitutes for pure volume, particularly if you are relatively inexperienced. My first 2 "serious" (more than 2 years) relationships were really wasted, regardless of whether they could have worked...

My 3Ware 9650 16-port has (finally) arrived, are there any particular tests you guys would like to see before it finds a permanent home?

Tentative is a major problem. If you can't take the risks, dating is certainly not for you. You have to be willing to over-extend yourself, both emotionally and intellectually, and be able to ask for them to do the same. If you only extend yourself when you feel completely comfortable, it will...

Whoever wrote their CMS must be using some of their customer's products (crack).

Indeed. Good catch.

Yep, sometime between 8AM PST and 11AM PST they resolved one of the errors.

That is a fantastic picture Tannin. I assume, considering how in-focus the tree kangaroo is, that it was the focus of the shot. How high a resolution is the entire shot?

I agree that the "hug here, kiss here" rules are too structured, but there is one hard rule that I have never seen an exception to: If you have sex on the first date, it won't last the month as anything more than a physical-only relationship. Emotions/connection first, sex later; or...sex only...

Excellent. Thanks for sharing. Do you happen to know if this works for office as well?

They work fine. I have even gone farther, with 2x PCIe cards and a PCI card. So long as they all have the same chip manufacturer you are fine. I currently have a 7950GT on order to replace my X1600 Pro, just so I can use the onboard 6150 video as well.

Does the drive contain sensitive data? Yes: Open drive, physically break platters and discard pieces into different waste bins after burning. No: Sell on E-bay and forget about it.

The other possible contender would be the UPS, I've had a number of them emit strange sounds at random. You might try isolating between the two before you start tearing apart your NAS.

Recommendations? GMail. Do you really think the other players in the business aren't learning from Google? My internal reasoning is that Google has more transparency, or at least more people watching them, so are less likely to do something actually evil.

?

You pretend this is always an option? Talk to Stanford Credit Union.

If you had to use a website that required IE and had ubuntu installed on your computer, what would be the easiest way to do it?

So essentially you are advocating a drop-ceiling with an even distribution of fluorescents and diffuser panels? That doesn't sound all that hard; if you can afford to lose some ceiling height.

A 1GB USB drive is $20. 1GB DDR2 is $110. Further; if your system is maxed with RAM (like Tannin's poor laptop), it could prove useful. It's not necessarily an either/or thing. Of course, that is only if it actually makes a difference...

Wasn't he convicted as a pedophile?

I just take a hammer to it before I throw it away; or give it to a friend who won't try and get the data.

...ahh, so that's what you call them ;)

...and SB cards in general...don't forget that...

What I ended up doing in my living room was put in 12 50w halogen bulbs on a track. Even this was too bright, so now they are set to wash the walls. It provides a very nice diffused effect, but because of the loss in the walls I need even more lighting. Another 600w should do ;)

That sounds like it would be right up Merc's street. It might even be a page he already, erm, archives ;)

Samsung HM120J (2.5" 120GB 5400RPM PATA drive) Seek - 2.1W Low power Idle - 0.65 Seagate Momentus ST910021A (2.5" 100GB 7200RPM PATA drive) Seek - 2.6W Low power Idle - 0.95 Worth some extra speed? I think so.

IIRC, in a previous discussion on this elsewhere, it was mentioned that PS writes some stuff to the scratch disk no matter how much RAM you have. Therefore it would make sense to make sure this was fast (ie. RAMDrive). If PS' memory management was logical, than this wouldn't be necessary.

We were both on foot, so that would have been difficult ;)

I stand corrected ;)

Had another couple over for dinner last night. 4 people, 7 bottles of wine, everyone has a huge hangover, and the women can't remember anything after the steak.

Interesting thoughts. I was actually looking at changing the final drive, but just changing 5th is a nice idea. In a perfect world, I would take the 6-speed out of a GTI and stick it in, but I suspect that is out of my price range. Getting better mileage is a nice idea, but I was primarily...

At one point I had my license revoked, I'm aware of the consequences ;) But the benefits are too tempting; I'm saving nearly an hour a day vs. 70mph. This discussion has been had somewhere around here; but I do feel that it is safe to do what I do. I know I don't need any more power than I...

Lunar, you can have all the breaks you want. I'm a pretty strict capitalist. So long as you can afford to fuel your 7-series when gas exceeds $10/gal, you have my blessing. Me? At 1000+/week, most of it over 100mph, car selection has many more variables.

I don't understand this perspective. My car is much smaller than any of these, and it's plenty big enough. People who "need" bigger cars without any justification are one of the reasons Americans and the butt of jokes everywhere else.

As an update; I just threw in an Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft CD and it booted fine, detecting everything but the touch screen and wifi card without me touching it. SWEET!

Yep Merc, I agree with e_dawg. Our first assumptions that you (like so many) simply hadn't tried seems to have been an underestimation of you; sorry about that. And while encouraging you to date may also be out of reach; I still feel obliged to encourage you to find some activity that you find...

The USB enclosures are typically designed for the older ATA drives...

Considering Windows 2000 is still a viable desktop OS, XP should be good for at least another 3-5 years.

So there is such a thing as a Vista-incompatible keyboard after all (thanks to Logitech).

Just installed 2007 Ultimate onto Vista. Slower than whale snot, and the only work I can use to describe the UI this late at night is "gross". I'll come up with better words later. Oh, and a full install of the "ultimate" edition is 2GB.

Yes, All SATA drives have the same plugs.,
