I tried the Comodo firewall, but nothing else from them. It's their primary business and the only thing I would trust them with (although it has inflated just like Zone Alarm did before them). Most of the software protection companies that are good in a certain field eventually lauch a fully...

Nope. Too busy working and too poor to buy tickets (500$+). Anyway, no one to go with so no point. I catched the ending on TV. I heard the race was an absolute success, which is good for my city. Good show, good crowd, good money. Good thing it's back. I live North of Montréal and the...

You should not put yourself thru that again. Stay there.

I keep forgetting about this. It's so amazing the level of achievement he has reached at such a young age.

Hi. I've noticed that Timwhit, Ddrueding and SDBardwick have been loggued in for the past, what...45 minutes, if not an hour. So, since you're all here gentlemen, you might as well post something. Or I could just do something that would Timwhit would have to moderate :diablo:

Your government is already doing that : Source

GigaByte makes a similar motherboard, but it is nowhere to be found in North America. Which, BTW, is quite odd since the page I linked is from their Canayian web site...

For now, there will only be one 95W CPU used. Even with two and all six RAM slots filled, it will not dissipate that much heat. Add three or four hard drives for now (up to 6 in the future) and it still won't be that power-hungry. There will not be a powerful graphic card in the PCI-E slot...

Probably the Antec P183.

Asus Z8NA-D6 Thermaltake Contac 29 The first is the motherboard, the second is the heatsink I plan to put above the CPU. The RAM I intend to use is 18.75mm high so it should fit below the heatsink. I've never assembled a system with this board before so I'm not absolutely sure. All six...

They are supposed to have changed to glucose (well, dextrose) this year. Also, back in the days when I read about water uptake, the optimal sugar amount was between 3g and 6g per 100ml. Beyond 6g was no longer positive. Don't ask me the source, I read that some fifteen years ago, probably at a...

Gatorade has 6g of glucose per 100ml, which increases hydratation. You absord it faster than water. Other beverages with higher sugar concentration are to avoid though, as they are absordbed slower than water by your body.

Why in Hell are you watercooling a drive that dissipates something like 2.5W?

66$ plus shipping. Along with the 900$ TV, it's near the thousand bucks Double-D wanted to pay.

So if we find one that cost ~700$, we should not bother mentioning it, right? Good, because there is none. In the meanwhile, you could buy that one and use it with this cable or this adapter and be done with it.

Another decent bump in clock speed??? Processors have been operating at ~3GHz for the past 6 years. Sure, IPC has increased, but the frequency has hit a wall at ~3.5GHz. A process shrink means more cores per socket, but not higher frequencies.

Unless you put a huge graphic card in there, then yes, I'm sure 300W is ok. Otherwise, Silverstone sells a very efficient 450W SFX power supply for this case too.

You could put them on these motherboards and inside these cases and save some space.

You really bought a 700$ motherboard (GigaByte X58A-UD9)?

I've finally been able to fix my DVD watching problem by applying what's on that page and installing VLC (Totem still doesn't want to let me watch commercial DVDs). I'll try to use my Xubuntu box as my main computer in the upcoming days. So far, it's ok as a Windows replacement.

Even though there's snow there quite often, I would see you in Boston area. I'm sure you would find more people with common interests there.

Snow should be quite rare in Seatle and it isn't what I would call a redneck shit-hole. There's almost never snow in Miami and it isn't a redneck shit-hole. Just a shit-hole, but not much rednecks.

Unrelated, but are you Mexican? The above gives the impression that English isn't your first language.

Silverstone FT02. Not cheap though.

It can accept 4x 5.25 drives (see the specifications), but only 4x 3.5 internal drives.

I fail to see how busting the oil chamber so that it releases all of its content at once would help the situation. I think they should drill another hole and start to pump out the oil from the chamber so that the pressure drops ASAP. Then they could try another "top kill" with greater chances...

Antec Solo. Ok airflow inside and reasonably quiet (dampened side panel). It is heavily built.

Seasonic maybe? No, it is not too old in my opinion. If it still operates quietly, then why not reuse it?

I would drop the Antec P193 and CP-1000 and instead go with the Antec P183 and the ABS MJ-900 900W 80 Plus GOLD certified power supply. Much more efficient and no more expensive. You don't need a thousand Watts anyway (any good 600W should be enough for your configuration).

Do you want SATA 6Gbps or USB3? If those two aren't priorities, then both the Asus Rampage II GENE and MSI X58M are good small motherboards with 2 PCI-E 16X slots. They are both µATX too. The Rampage II GENE has more BIOS settings, but it is also ~40$ more expensive. Both use the Intel X58...

I missed the battle of the pappies last November. Seems like they both weren't feeling well that day.

I used CentOS before Ubuntu. Supposed to be a great server OS, but since stability is more important than features, each components aren't updated as often. The kernel used in the current version (5.4) is quite a bit older than the one in Ubuntu 10.4 and Fedora 13. It probably won't support...

Slackware might be ok for someone with deep Linux knowledge like you, but it is unusable for others with more basic experience with Linux/Unix. I've never tried Arch and I haven't touch to Fedora since Fedora 3 or 4. And I still can watch DVD on buntu 10.4 because there's apparently no codec...

The smallest case you could have that fit a full-ATX motherboard and full size graphic card would be the Silverstone LC16M. It is still a substantial enclosure and it won't fit in many audio/video furnitures. Since you're American and therefore, you probably don't understand the metric system...

25000 points in one day ; you beat my expectations. Now you're not only a threat to Fushigi and P5_133XL, but to me too. I'll have to react.

Any fan will do as long as it can start at 5V (they usually operate at 12V) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p1pMqloA50 I doubt you'll find a 120mm fan that will turn at more than 1500rpm with only 5V though. There's one already made to operate from USB and it produces 44CFM at 1200rpm (or...

He either made a moment of silence to honor Hopper or he made a post right to the point.

Don't believe me, here's the logo : Ubuntu, not for you! ;)

It's a safety feature. The OS has detected that Greg Santilli is trying to enter and it doesn't want to let you in because it knows you will certainly harm it if it allows you.

The Phenom X4 945 takes ~10 hours and 3 minutes to complete a unit for projects 6023 and 6069. My Core 2 Quad 9450 operating at stock frequency (2.67GHz) needs 9 hours 41 minutes to complete a similar project (6024). The really bad part for the Phenom is that my C2Q 9450 is more than two years...

Trust me, you can do a LOT better than that. Roughly five times better. Read this thread. Don't run three SMP units. Run only one and complete it on time. If you configured the client with your passkey, the huge bonus will make any plan to run three simultaneous clients irrelevant.

Apparently, Foxconn's leaders read this forum and agree with me.

It's not a ling weekend here, not even a long weekend, but I'll still be working both Saturday and Sunday. I'm sure Mercutio will too (I'm a telepath). DingDrueding will almost certainly find some time for the office and wife deprivation.

Well, the heatsink AMD provides with the Phenom 945 isn't enough for running the Folding SMP client. That tiny thing is complaining loudly and I wouldn't dare to let it scream like this for more than a day. I started a unit half an hour ago and I'll post the time it takes to complete its unit...

Why? You plan to die before Christmas? Did they install huge nets on the walls of the factory where you're working?

I forgot to tell you that you NEED to get a passkey if you want to get the significant bonus on each unit you send.

I have a system with a Phenom 945 here. I'll run the FAH client on it until tomorrow and I'll post the results.

What a futile and stupid thing to do. Like someone depressive will refuse to sign it.

On Windows, each Core 2 Quad should give you between 5000 and 8000 points per day. The Phenom X6 won't be able to run the bigadv units under Linux because you need to have eight cores to get those (or at least eight virtual cores). So you'll just be able to run the standard clients and compute...

By the end of Q4, 3TB drives and maybe even 4TB drives will be available, so the chances that 2TB will go down to 100$ are pretty good.
