I used to be nVidia-only, until the 9600Pro showed up. Now I'm running nothing but 9200, 9600, 9800, and x800 cards. No issues, ever.

Well, according to reliable sources elsewhere, this is not true...comments?

Congratulations, that sounds like a lot of fun. :wink:

I picked lettuce for a week when I was in 10th grade for a paper I was writing on this very subject. Besides blowing out my back every day, I nearly cut off my left hand with the knife you need to use. Having the options I have, I wouldn't pick lettuce at any price. However, when I was in...

There was a study done down here in the "Salad bowl of the US" (Salinas, CA) about what would happen to the price of produce if only legal residents were paid at least minimum wage in all aspects of the business. The result? a ~15% increase. This industry utilizes more illegal workers than any...

Just don't forget to secure the heck out of it, that many more people can now try to hack it.

Excellent "measured response", Merc. A great solution IMHO.

SF's similar story. It is indeed a tragety. Following JTR's derailment (can't help myself) just a little: Any person who knowingly and willfully commits a premeditated crime that negatively impacts the lives of at least one other person beyond any doubt should be eligible for the death...

Sounds good to me, so long as it supports the OSes you plan on using.

Mr JoJo...with all the stuff you have going on, it's amazing you have time to post at all. :mrgrn:

Wow, I haven't been paying attention.....congratulations!

comment. :-?

Makes me happy. Gives my 2 options in the AMD serverboard maket (#1 is Tyan)

Wow, sechs' anatomy changed as I switched from reading the thread to previewing it. No matter, it's a pointless flame anyway. I don't have a single bad thing to say about Raptors, I'm a really big fan. They are very fast and quite cheap considering the onboard S-ATA of your K8T-Neo board. My...

All the costs are within the program. It gives you many options, including 3 types of steel and tubular vs. bar supports. It also calculates the cost of different levels of "Site Cost" (excavation, abutments, etc.). It will take any structure that can hold the weight driving from one side to...

I'm trying to fuestimate exactly how much power it would take over how broad a range to smoke that baby monitor. I know it freq. hops, but by how much? Perhaps if you just added a massive amp to your 5Ghz equipment, the monitor would stay off the freq?

Oh, the dissapointing part is the High School champion had one for just over $130k :cry:

After spending about 5 hours on the program, The best I've been able to do using an interesting design is under $179k. I could go cheaper using one of their pre-designed truss structures, but that wouldn't be original. I'll post it in a minute.

*Frustration Warning* 1. This is kinda hard for those of us without any engineering background. 2. The app tends to crash after about 20 unsaved iterations - save often.

I downloaded the West Point Bridge Designer 2004 software earlier and have found it more entertaining than my video games! Once I get a "worthy" design, I'll post it here. It would be interesting to see what the minds of SF could come up with.

Fixed Merc's Link Very funny...had to read them all....

I got everything right except for the word "Liberty"... God can kiss my ass.

There was that article in slashdot about DDoSing WiFi, it looks like your neighbor found an easier way.

Perhaps small directional antennas would work? If the focus was tight enough, it might help quite a bit (increasing gain for your device, decreasing for his).

Price as tested: Ontrack evaluation showed electro/mechanical failure. Disk inspection: $100 Data Recovery: $1600 160GB External Drive: $300 Insured Shipping: $200 Total: $2200 Giving an "I told you so" lecture to a PITA client: Priceless

Agreed. Though with this tech being so new, I'd hold off before trusting my backups to an unproven technology. Especially considering Santilli's tendency for "tried and true" hardware.

Speaking of good writing....I just finished an incredible novel. It was purchased for me completely by mistake. I rarely read fiction anymore, but when I was younger I was a big fan of Tom Clancy and Dale Brown. So when my father brought me a book by Dan Brown, I was not excited. I thanked him...

You guys are laughing, but I'll buy one right now. I've been considering doing a mod where I duct the 120mm PS fan over the CPU, and that one already has the hard part done for me. I don't care about the size, just the noise.

Just got home from work...4AM. I'll be working tomorrow as well, starting at 10AM...30 mins. away. LOL....Merc. Use an ASUS mobo instead of a gigabyte and an Antec rackmount chassis and 350W PSU and I've built quite a few servers like that. Including TS and SQL stuff. I did, of course, have...

Agreed. But I can't see how broadcasting anything on (obviously) public channels is illegal. The "honest" approach sounds like too much work, just changing his channels would work better. Me? I'd just wire your place instead. That way you benefit from your work instead of some n00b

I've noticed that turning IS off when shooting from a tripod helps a lot; it seems the lens is looking for movement that isn't there otherwise and actually blurs the shot by attempting to adjust. I'm sure those that have it know, but I didn't read it on the page just linked.

Not necissarily, I did live in San Francisco for a while.... :wink: ........ :oops: ..... :eekers: Kidding of course, just got home from a 28 hour day...WTF am I doing posting this?

I'll bite you, but there's no way in hell I'm going to Kansas. Come out west and we'll talk.

And there is no way I'll be bunched in with: Texas Oklahoma Kansas Nebraska South Dakota North Dakota Are you kidding? West? If you can't get to the pacific on a tank of gas, you aren't "west". I always considered Colorado to be "Mid-West". And me? I'm Nor-Cal 8)

Wow, that place is huge. It appears that the buildings are paired. One AP might make it to each pair, but I'll second blake about wanting a cable to each AP. Trying a directional to each broadcasting AP is possible, but the air around your buildings will be saturated enough without having to...

Oh, also try to find a convenient building with LOS to the rest to make your measurements from.

It's important to know a few things: 1. What is the connection between you and the campus? T-1 would be nice, but a fractional T-1 is likely and an ISDN is possible. The quality of the connection makes the other costs more justifiable. 2. How many buildings and how far apart? Depending on the...

Wow, there's no way someone as anal about clean wiring as I am could live with that. It looks like an inevitable disaster in there...

I agree that it's a problem, and it's a problem that Cosby and the group he was with need to address, but to me it's just another problem. The junior high I went to had a 20% drop-out rate, the high school was closer to 50%. 30% of graduates went to college and 50% of those got a degree. There...

For some strange reason this subject has me quite interested. A posting on slashdot that referenced this pagetalked a bit about using USB wifi adapters mounted to parabolic antennae as a feasible long-distance solution. I have access to quite a few 18" DirectTV dishes, and live in a very...

In case anyone was keeping up, OnTrack's latest pricing is $100 for inspection and $700-$2300 for repair. The partition delete wan't such a big deal, and the bad sectors was making life difficult, but now it's making odd noises and unmounting itself....time to send it off to the pros.

My sister doesn't even bother ordering broadband when she moves. She just brings her AP+Smoothwall to her new place and has never been dissapointed. She is a college student (soon to be moving to Ithaca, New York for graduate work at Cornell), and students are quite ignorant/carefree about this...

Man, this is a bad day...sorry for the double post. :oops:

I'm sure everyone's been afraid of doing this at least once... Don't you wish Ghost was a little more descriptive of the "source" and "destination" drives? I sure do. A client's hard drive was failing (according to SMART), so I brought in another drive and a copy of Ghost 2003. Connected the...

...unless you are in a state where your victim may be carrying ;) "Never bring a knife to a gun fight." Unless you can convince the criminals to stop using guns, my application for a concealed weapon continues.

I'm working on it. Unfortunatly, the client we are using (CyberCafe Pro) seems to be interrupting all background tasks while it is active (all the time). I'm still looking into it as anything set to run as a service should continue to do so. In some instances, when running the GUI version, the...

Yeah, I do charge more for housecalls ($50/hr drive time+labor). But recently I've had quite a few people bring their towers into my shop, complaining of the usual "popups and slowness". So while they're sitting down playing games I'm fixing their computer and doing a dozen other things. Actual...
