3 square ft., sounds about right for something like that.

I mostly sell LG drives. I think I'll switch to Lite-On from now on. Pioneer are a bit too expensive, let alone Plextor and I don't have access to Panasonic drives.

I remember that Google released reliability numbers for its hard drives a few years ago and that operating temperature wasn't a significant failure factor. The age of the drive was the most prominent failure cause (the older they are, the more they are susceptible to fail). The temperature...

Massive redundant array of punch card readers.

A mile? You need more than an hour to recover from riding a bike for a mile. At least you could lie and say at least 20. But a mile? At 25-30 miles per hour, that's roughly...a two minutes ride. It is great time you put yourself in shape. If you want a tip, for the first five minutes...

That bike is almost as old as you are. So which one is more rusty, the bike, or you? Oh and be careful with the brakes. You're quite heavy for a cyclist and the brakes on those older bikes aren't as effective as those on newer one (less than fifteen years). You might have surprises if you...

Two of my machines are doing nothing because the f**king assignement server appears to be down. The one giving big units at least. And my third computer is due to end its unit in six hours. I hope they will fix their problem before then.

Yeah, congratulations for the thousand posts. May your insany continue for a while.

While it is not as small as most of the cases Time showed in the original post, the latest NZXT enclosure beats them all on price : NZXT Source 210 Elite - only 49.99$. Top 140mm fan, space for routing cables, bottom space for the PSU, front USB 3.0 port with a USB motherboard header and...

He's probably more some kind of forensic expert for the FBI or another large law-enforcement organisation.

There's no way via the Folding@home community. That's why I posted it here. She has known us either by accessing the website or via a member of our folding@home (like DanShearer : Mark's buddy).

Kayren, our new member, hasn't got a passkey or she would have had bonus points for her last two units.

Thanks and congratulations on passing the 2 million mark yourself.

You're right. Folks at Fukushima couldn't care less.

The end of the world will have to wait. There's no free spot in my agenda for dying before Tuesday.

I often get those. The bastards seem to send them mostly on my lesser system (the unoverclocked i7 860, which cannot complete them on time). And to follow up on the X2 4800+, GPU Tracker V2 tells me it will do ~1035-1040ppd for the project 6964 unit. Not as bad as I thought it was. Not good...

I don't get the part about Winter and no matter what happens South of here, it will still be quite a walk from where I am to where you are. Anyway, I'm not going anywhere untill Tuesday.

FINALLY! After more than half-a-year, Stanford updated the base value of Project 2684 units to 12790. I read it on a forum post dating back to May 6th (on their forum, not ours, obviously). It won't make my slower machine more capable of completing it on time, but at least I won't swear when...

We have one new member : Kayren. Welcome. We are supposed to have thunderstorms during the week-end and high winds tomorrow. I hope the electric grid will hold. I don't want to have down times caused by the meteo.

I had to leave before reading post after my last. I had to visit the grocery store before midnight. Smashed potatoes would have been a good idea, but I don't plan to cook for him and I won't leave him a knife, even one for peeling potatoes. He's not physically restrained. He doesn't need to...

He's not chained or anything and yes, he owes me money. In order to be able to pay me back, he needs to be able to make his work, hence the need to keep him in shape. As for the amount of money, it's 3K. 3K that are mine and that I need. I have been surprisingly patient with him.

I need to keep a man alive for 3 days with the minimal amount of food possible, or at the very least the least expensive food possible. I know I could just have him drink water since it takes more than 3 days to starve to death, but I need him to be able to perform intellectual tasks and...

Merc, regarding the moose, only the bull grows antlers.

Open 70 tabs to Youtube videos. You won't mind Flash since you like Adobe so much. How much RAM does it take now?

I've found another factor to consider. This is the respective estimated annual CO2 production of each vehicle I've been considering : Dodge Grand Caravan : ~4700Kg Honda Odyssey : ~4200Kg Hyundai Elantra Touring : ~3600Kg Subaru Legacy P-ZEV : ~3700Kg Hyundai Elantra sedan : ~2700Kg Chevy...

Incredimail is a spyware magnet. It creates vulnerabilities on a computer that would otherwise be relatively safe. It might be simple to conigure, but the issues it causes afterward aren't worth the trouble.

That might be ok if I was the only one to have a positive experience with WD, but Buck isn't a sociopath and he often mentioned that he uses WD in his computers.

It wouldn't be the only case of regional reliability variation. Samsung, for instance, seems to be a lot more reliable in the Soutern Hemisphere than it is around here. As WD is if you compare my experience with them and yours.

BTW, does he drive a minivan?

I don't own a boat and I've never used a syringe to stun someone. My definition of good and bad persons is the following : good people are those who pay, bad people are those who don't.

News link It would still be impossible to recover datqa in case the drive's controller dies, unlike magnetic drives.

I've never tried. Can't tell. I know I once used a PCI-E 1x wireless network card in the PCI-E16X slot and it worked, but it wasn't on that board.

The Pentastar must have direct injection, but it isn't a turbo. I'm not too worried about its reliability. It's another thing with the trans. I'm more of a large dark plastic bags than a matress and disco lights type, really. Having a vehicle with tinted rear windows would be a big plus. I...

I've found a picture of the back panel of the P5G41M SI : You can see all the ports and the four DIMM sockets (DDR2) behind. As I wrote, not bad for less than 60$.

I know I replace Intel-brand motherboards from 3-5 years old on a regular basis. MDG (a canadian national reseller) sold most of them. They were probably manufactured by Foxconn. Like you said, the capacitors look fine most of the time, but the boards just die. Fortunately, those are LGA775...

Yes, keep the computer busy looking at its belly button.

Yes and that how I was going to write it before hesitating and writing the mistake that you read. The "lips not moving" joke was in reference to my avatar. Things sleep deprivation makes you write...

On an un-related note, I realized I could be a great ventriloque : my lips never move! That is all.

I know : William Sasener, captain of the starship enterprise ;)

But we all know you don't. Go get one. It'll be a lot more effective to melt your belly than your ill-faithed regime.

I know he's spelling Renesas (the USB 3.0 controler used on many motherboards to provide...USB 3.0 ports) backward. The way he put it, it's like it means something and I don't have the slightess clue what's so special about "sasener". Do you realize that your name is edudoerets backward? It's...

Right answer in bold.

The foreigner speaking a weird language here would like to know what a sasener is.

I was refering to the structure of your sentence, not to the content.

I haven't put a lot of thoughts on the Scion Xb yet. I haven't seen the specifications, impact tests or read recent reviews about it. To tell you the truth, I don't see myself into it much more than behind the wheel of an Element. I think I remember that it sips less gas than the Honda...

Are you on something? A V6 engine puts more weight on the front wheels and therefore wears the tires faster. A vehicle with a 6-cylinders is also generally heavier than one with a 4-cylinders. As the engine is bigger, you also need to pour more oil into it at every oil change. Stereodude...

Oh and if I decide not to go with a minivan, I'll probably opt for a Chevy Cruze Eco. It costs the same amount as the Grand Caravan and it got excellent results in the 2011 NHTSA impact tests. Fuel economy is excellent too. It doesn't nearly have the same amount of interior space though. So...

I was not planning on buying a new vehicle tomorrow (since it'll be Sunday ;-) ). I'm simply starting to look for options for a replacement when the time comes to change. I haven't thought about the Scion Xb. Scion has only been available here for a month or two so I forgot it was an option...

Between step 500 and 501, you lost 45ft in 4 seconds. That's some serious pothole. And I thought we had bad streets in Québec.
