I know The Giver is ageless, but the hand in The Giver's rear must be very close to sixty by now. I hope the years haven't been too tough on the old man.

My point. It was a private party from what I read. And he's not showing off in front of the camera making a "V" sign with his fingers. He probably wasn't even aware he had been photographied. You can't expect all-time good behaviors from someone, not even your president, much less a...

I came accross a short article saying that Michael Phelps has been suspended three months for being caught smoking weed. Kellogg also terminated their contract with him because of the incident. I'm sorry, but WHAT A BUNCH OF RETARDS YOU ARE! He's a 23 years old man who has spent most of his...

Otherwise, call a woman.

Use an X-Acto. Cut a ~2cmx0.5cm hole. Goo gone.

A few hours after my last post, I finally realized that Hyper-V is already part of Server 2008 and that I only needed to add a role to the server to enable it. But now, I have a problem. When I create a new virtual machine, even if I choose to add network support via an additional LAN adapter...

Well, it is less than 300$. It's 299.99$. Wish granted.

Game over, I wasted my time.

I did not download the right thing. Apparently, there's a stand-alone product called Hyper-V Server and also Hyper-V FOR Server 2008. Of course, I downloaded the first. I burn the .iso to a DVD and installed the thing. It didn't want to update my Server 2008 installation, only wanted to...

I use In Win IP-P350DQ3 350W power supplies for replacement units. They are 80+ certified and relatively inexpensive (~35U$). Realtek NICs are well supported (drivers included in all Microsoft OSes) and people don't care about the performance of their network connection most of the time...

The surface of Venus is hotter than the surface of Mercury, even though it's much farther from the Sun. Maybe the composition of its atmosphere has something to do with it. Our atmosphere is so thin, arguing that we can't affect it is nonsense.

The "english" text seems to have been written by one of my Chinese suppliers. Looks like Lian Li cannot afford to hire English-speaking PR employees. It's true that cut & paste to Babelfish is much cheaper.

Because those sensible enough to understand that concept have long given up on Stereodude. BTW, no matter what your security level will be, a smart organisation will always be able to get through. The increased security measures since 9/11 have mostly limited the free of honest people...

Good. 32bit operating systems have no reason to exit anymore, especially on server land.

Tomorrow is the day where Obama becomes the 44th president of the USA. I heard he'll walk on the water of Lincoln Memorial reflection pool and that beems of light will be projected from his hands.

I imagine the face Paugie must do when reading that we call 7F a "heat wave".

I decided to install a virtualization software on my Server 2008 box this evening. I found out that Server 2008 isn't part of the supported operating systems listed for MS Virtual Server 2005 R2. For Server 2008, M$ has something called Hyper-V. It's a huge download (1.1GB) and it's a .iso...

From what I read on the Net, Seagate's 1TB and 1.5TB have a lot more issues than Western Digital's Terabyte drives right now. I don't know about HGST and Samsung.

Currently -7°F, low tonight -18°F. I beat you. I admit I wouldn't walk outside in t-shirt right now. I would at least put a sweater.

WTF were you doing in Antarctica? Can't the penguins have no rest?

I installed the 32bit version on a 4 years old Thinkpad R50p with a Pentium-M 1.7GHz, 1GB RAM and FireGL T2 graphics. The OS feels quick, but programs start-up (particularly IE8 ) are a test of patience. On this kind of hardware, XP was quicker, but I've seen much more powerful laptops being...

He could be your grand daddy.

Milestones celebrations will be rarer. Both Fushi and LiamC have considerably slowed down their productions. I suspect LiamC's reason is because it's the middle of Summer down there and he tries to limit the heat production made by his computers. Fushi, I haven no idea. I hope it's not...

Too bad you need 14 drives plus one optical, because if you only needed 11 drives plus one optical, this one would have been perfect.

I'm not in Canada. This week, temperatures will be between -15C and -25C during the night. It might not be -70C, but water freezes nonetheless...and your ass too.

The Asus P6T, not Deluxe, doesn't have those extra features, but it cost 100$ less and it overclocks as well, if not better. Also, someone with a lesser income than you should opt for the i920. It yields only 200MHz to the i940, but it costs 200$ less and it can reach the same frequency thru...

Turn lefty. You broke a bone or something?

Disable NeroCheck. I've often seen it take 99% of the processor by itself for no reason on customers' boxes. If you have Nero installed, open the task manager and see if you have one svchost.exe process taking +95% of the CPU. If yes, execute msconfig as Mark wrote and disable NeroCheck...

How about this? It has redundant power supplies, even if you don't need it. If not, then just look at Supermicro chassis matrix.

Here's an idea for your propellant.

Ditto. Ozzies and Paugie are already in 2009.

I'm sure they have a hole selection.

BTW, I used to sell a lot of Antec NSK4480, but not anymore. They used to cost me ~70-75$, but now I can't find them for less than 95$ and that's just too expensive compared to what I can get with an ok enclosure and the In Win power supply I mentionned in the original post. Plus the In Win is...

You should make a few hundred of them, then contact Newegg, Multiware and ZipZoomFly and try to strike a deal to supply them. People like P5-133XL would buy them.

I make an effort to push 80Plus certified power supplies down the throat of my customers. Right now, I'm selling the In Win IP-350EQ3-2 (a 350W model) as my basic replacement power supply and also in new low-end computer systems. I pay less than 45$ for it, which is very reasonnable in my...

Too much testosterone in this body to use anything that is painted pink. Sorry, but I can't help.

You mean mid-2009.

I must have been tired. Scratch always, insert halfway. Merc's only about halfway thru his life.

My problem with your plan of upgrading now is that both the LGA771 and LGA775 are going to be dying sockets soon. Intel is moving to LGA1366. The new Core i7 from Intel is excellent for server loads. I just don't find it in Xeon flavor just yet. If you need to build new servers now and you...

But there's worst : you're only about always thru.

I'm not sure wether I should offer you my congratulations or my sympathies. I hope it will turn out the way you wished it would be.

I'm very satisfied with the Logitech Fusion. It cost me 43$CDN and the image is ok. Above that one, there's the Quickcam Pro 9000, which has a better sensor, but it cost me ~70$CDN. Maybe it is available somewhere in the States for 50$ or a little above, since prices in your country are...

Re : XP64 faster than Vista64 Did you configure the indexation so that only revelant folders are indexed? Also, omit to index the "My Images" folders as there's a bug between the picture viewer when the system is trying to index the image that's being viewed. Disable automatic updates and...

I hope the data on the single Samsung drive won't be accessed very often, otherwise your hard drive will go crazy and be a HUGE bottleneck, no matter the 32GB of RAM. Add spindles.

Why not a Core i7 920 on an Asus P6T Deluxe? You already spend the premium for the DDR3 memory. The performance would be comparable and you would have the latest platform available, given a path for upgrades instead of a dead end like LGA775 is. And you need more than 2GB of RAM for the...

Who's the moron who sent you anything important via UPS? UPS is the least reliable delivery company. It's only good for sending surprises (maybe, only maybe, you'll receive something...). For a twenty-two thousand part, I would NEVER use UPS. Ever. I started 45 minutes after you this...

I was, thought it was obvious. To have kids already at 10 years old, you would both have given a new meaning to "being born ready" and have had to met Sarah Palin ("drill baby, drill!).

I've always pictured you somewhat older than that...

I'll have to verify if it's installed or not. I don't remember if it comes with the OEM version of Nero 7. I'm short of DVD burners (and their bundled CD) in my inventory since last Thursday.

A customer asked me yesterday how to do something apparently quite easy. He's a musician and he wants to copy videos from Youtube on a DVD that he'll play on his home theatre setup while he practices. So far, it doesn't seem very complicated. I tried doing this by using Youtube Downloader and...
