I haven't. Considering I lost about 300GB of MP3s, then promptly added 500GB of video to the volume with only 300GB free, I figured there wasn't a chance. I'll run it now.

This is quite useable as long as you follow two simple rules: 1. Don't be in a hurry 2. DO NOT MULTITASK In other words; slow, but completely functional. I'll be trying some XviD mivies soon :eekers:

Interesting, I'd be interested to see if the IO on the motherboard is even capable of sustaining solid transfer rates. I'm spoiled, I have GbE everywhere...

Just for fun, I took one of my Smoothwall boxes and installed XP SP2 on it. Here's the specs: VIA 600Mhz Fanless CPU 256MB RAM 1GB CF Card on IDE adapter PicoPSU 60W power supply Running fine. I did run the XPLite demo mode to clean some stuff up, but I have XP Pro, Latest Firefox, and Media...

Wow, I just realized I'm up with all the people on the other side of the world...time to go to bed. Have a good friday you guys!

I was just about to order some Antec P150 with NeoPower 380W PSs. for about $100US. What would you guys reccomend in that market?

Funny my Antec TruePower550 in my server had a fan fail quite a while ago...I'm just too lazy to fix it. The other fan is still working, and their is plenty of airflow from the other fans to keep it happy.

Yep. I had been using Moodlogic, which costs $10US for every 10,000 songs. It works great and has tons of features. Then I say one which was free and decided to try. I didn't even notice until a week later (on vacation) and by then I had too much disk activity to even try an undelete. For the...

Nope, the iPod didn't go in the drink. It can't hold 100k songs anyway. This was off my primary fileserver, and was backed up to a 500GB USB drive. Unfortunatly, while running one of those utilities that rename songs and remove duplicates it decided to delete the majority of my songs. The USB...

I've been doing this on my Smoothwall boxes for about 6 months. The hardware is readily avialable at newegg for about $10.

You guys can appreciate my Golf towing my boat here Meanwhile I'll mourn the loss of ~100,000 songs from my library due to my stupidity about 30 minutes ago... I don't wanna re-rip them all :cry:

300GB for $100 :P

...the more faith you have in humanity ;)

Depends on whether the entire device can handle extended submersion in water. If there are any electronics involved, the control mechanism might not be water tight. I've also had ones that say they're water tight not survive a simple bath, much less a dishwasher.

Preaching to the choir Merc, I agree with what was said; I just think that they (and to a lesser extent, you) would get further by not being so emotionally wrapped up in the thing. Like a PR guy on NPR said: keep to the facts that no one can dismiss; they're bad enough, and will keep anyone...

Although I appreciate the content of the article, and agree with it's conclusions, I have to say that that was the least neutral article I've read in a long time. Dripping with sarcasm and implications of things not proven, it makes it difficult to swallow as a whole. I don't hate all...

Without breaking apps? Really?

Client of mine got his machine from a shady dealer, and it has a pirated copy of XP on it. Updates refuse to run, and he can't download certain things from microsoft. He has a legal copy of Windows that I provided for him, but doesn't want to blow away his install (and all his apps) to do it. Is...

That is a PCIe card, and it says "crossfire supported".

Why does Tea have an elephant with rubber boots?

I'd doubt it. But look on the bright side, you could crossfire a pair of these!

That would be iTunes. iTunes != iPod. Apple would love it if it did; but it doesn't. Use ephPod, use it like a harddrive, move your music off of it, and anjoy a sweet piece of hardware ;)

Whoops, wrong tab...sorry. That's what I get for posting so late (only 1:30AM now). Here's the link:

I really like my iPod, I'm still trying to decide which software to use (since I obviously will not be installing iTunes on my machines). I think ephpod is my favorite so far.

More cores, more money, Dual PCIe

Congratz to you guyz; thatz a whole lot of postz. Every post includes your current number of posts, not the number you had when you typed it.

Nice excuse, Coug ;) If you guys would just make up your mind on the languages and choose english, this wouldn't be a problem :mrgrn:

Thanks Time. I did do the firmware update, and I'll try the things you suggested on Monday. If they don't work, perhaps I'll get you some router time?

This is for remote users, and is supposed to be using the microsoft VPN client. I have also tried their client without success.

Well, everything seemed to go like a charm. Unfortunatly, it doesn't actually work. The Draytek's interface is relatively straightforward, with just a few syntactical PITAs that were quickly sorted. I went into: VPM-PPTP-General Setup ...and set Active MS-CHAPv2 MPPE 40 bits / 128 bits Local...

Too many nested OSes! My XP Pro machine, RDCed (DSL->T1) to Server 2003 at client site, RDCed (Fiber point-to-point) to another Server 2003 running VMWare, VMWare console connected to another Server 2003 instance I'm in the process of setting up! I have 4 start buttons visible right now!

I'd suspect the reason it told you that is that you're video card doesn't have TV-in/out. The same issue it gave me. Of course, it did say Ultimate was the right one for me.

No doubt, but the price is irrelevant if you need a drive in 15 minutes

I have GetDataBack, but one of the requirements is that the drive can be detected at all. This is a normally intelligent user. He has a company fileserver that I have built (RAID 10) and he makes regular backups to a series of USB harddrives that he keeps off-site. He uses thumbdrives to move...

If you had to setup a secure FTP server, what would you use? Some things I've already got: 1. Dedicated server 2. Isolated VLAN 3. Rules to only allow FTP traffic through (ports 20-23, correct?) What I need is suggestions on the software. The OS will be Server 2003 because that is what I...

Samsung SP2504C (SATA/250GB/7200RPM/8M) - about 6 months old. It's been in a machine I built with the following components: Gigabyte NF4-SLI board AMD 3800+ X2 2GB Buffallo Select PC3200 RAM nVidia 6200TC PCI-E Video Antec Neo-HE 380W PS Antec P180 Chassis This system has been working fine...

Confession: I just purchsed a WD hard drive from a retail store. SATA 200GB with 8MB Cache - $140 Irony: It's a need-in-now replacement for a Samsung 250GB SP2504C unit :eekers: This new drive has a really irritating whistle to it. More on the failure in a Computing thread....

Interesting Don't know enought to interpret it yet, but here's some info on one of mine.

If anything, I wish a barebones firefox installation was simpler. Some people may like having the bookmarks as a toolbar, I don't. If it was only the simplest of browsers and supported the extension system (which is right up there with sliced bread) I would be a more happy camper.

All options that I enabled in Firefox via extensions without ever using Opera. I choose to use them because they are a good idea. Round wheels, windshields and heaters all took significant levels of innovation in the car industry. Would you hold it against the other manufacutrers if they copied...

Sounds like a lot of fun; I like playing with new hardware. But the pressure will be on on this one. This Tuesday I have to walk into the client's office and act like I already know what I'm talking about.

That's really awesome, at that height you don't have much to go at all. I only have 2 inches on you ;)

The client purchased a Draytek 33-something. Apparently with support for v-lans and 4 WAN connections? Anyway, as part of a larger setup I'm doing on this thing, I need to set it up for users to use the standard windows VPN client to connect with the thing. Is L2TP an option or would household...

Very nice results Doug. I'd consider myself only slightly out of shape and I'm an even 200lbs with a 34" waist.

Yay! Draytek routers and teleworker access! Someone around here liked the Drayteks...was it in the Aussie crowd? Anything I should know about?

The author of that article was on "Fresh Aire" on NPR today. Really nice interview. True and very, very scary.

My 35,000+mi/yr kinda goes off their charts...but I am in the "small" category, so I'm probably around $0.30/mi ($10,500/yr). My sailboat consumes no gas, but is also likely to cost me about $10,000/yr (sails, breakage, storage). I'm taking it out for the first time in about an hour; if you...

I've been towing it with a 2006 Toyota Tacoma TRD, but tomorrow I get to tow it with a Porsche Cayenne :D It's a bit big for my Golf to handle, I may end up buying a Mitsu Evo to pull it around with. I used to race professionally, though I haven't been out at all in 7 years. My g/f used to...

Stalk someone you don't know.

Well, If I had any money to begin with, I won't any more. This is my new toy. A 24-foot long Ultralight Displacement sailboat (ULDB). She should be very, very fast ;)
