Breaking in a new server. I've assigned 40 1.7Ghz cores to the NaCL client. A 2981 takes about 3 minutes. Is this ok? This is in an Ubuntu VM under ESXi, and I have no idea where to find a "task manager" type application to view system utilization.

Putting in the oldest 2011 CPU I could find and updating the BIOS was the only way. Note that I said oldest and not slowest, I had a 3970X in a machine that I was able to get everything handled with. Sorry I don't have an easier or less expensive option for you.

Currently dealing with thermal and electrical supply issues, not sure when I'll have them resolved, but it should be impressive when I do ;)

I don't know how one would calculate for interest and inflation, but discounting that, if a $125,000 college degree earns you $1.50/hr more over a 40 year working career of 40-hour weeks, it just breaks even. So far in my life, I don't think it would have penciled out. I'm pretty sure that...

The things I wouldn't care if the government could decrypt would be the stuff they already have or would only be beneficial from a commercial standpoint: 1. Bank data 2. General records 3. Common data mining stuff 4. Trade Secrets 5. Company data

I'd think that deleting the file most recently saved to the disk would have no effect on fragmentation at all.

1-3 I'm confident aren't issues. I've never heard of Ultimate Defrag, but if it is just doing its job it shouldn't be an issue. Just a reminder to not defrag SSDs, completely unnecessary and added wear. Moving all these things to weekly (hell, quarterly) will save you time, save wear on your...

I'd bet that one version back of TrueCrypt will be good enough for non-governmental stuff for a number of years yet.

Wider view requires higher resolution to be of any use. I've installed several CCTV systems, and the learning curve typically goes like this: 1. Put a camera pointing at the thing you are worried about. 2. Realize that you can't see their face when they are looking the same direction as the...

I thought it was open source? Time to fork the version that was audited?

Given that budget and those requirements, I would go with one of these: http://www.axis.com/products/cam_q1765le/index.htm

1080p with a decent image good enough? Does that budget include the screen? Do you have a computer or other smart device connected to that screen?

Are wires between the camera and TV allowed or do you need wireless?

Awesome. Khan Academy is better than any Algebra class I've seen. Particularly if you are the self-guided type. I loved the ability to rewind and fast forward around the course without bugging anyone.

In none of the units could I hear the pump over the basic fan noise. But I also locate my PCs a considerable distance from my desk, preferably in another room or closet.

80F+ and spending the next two days outside doing photo portraits. In a long-sleeved shirt and black slacks (dress code). Sucks.

I have a half dozen or so H100i coolers. One of them had the pump fail after over a year (possibly 2?). Just installed an H110 to replace it.

Hardly a surprise considering you live next door to hell.

Same, but I clearly don't care as much about customizing my browser experience. ABP is the only one I install as default.

Ah. A max altitude of 12' certainly makes it much safer. Taking something like that to even 100' would be a serious rush.

Wow. I should probably test my 4TB drives in a 10-drive RAID6 on Synology. That might take a long time ;)

When flying, it isn't road legal, so obeying traffic laws doesn't apply at all. The most licensing you might need would be an LSA, which doesn't even require a physical.

Yup, full imaging software is a really good idea. Or drive cloning if you want a really fast recovery at some point.

No burden ;) Let us know how it goes. Do you plan to image your current system over or re-install?

The supercharger infrastructure is already pretty impressive, and looks to get much better. Any place I would be willing to drive is well within range, with the option of skipping several for one the optimum distance in my immediate vicinity. But I'd install a high-amperage charger at work...

I love the technologies used to produce the One:1 (Titanium 3D printed variable geometry turbo housing, Carbon wheels, etc). But the 918's drivetrain I'd consider superior (torque fill from the electric and AWD). I think the current winner on the suspension front would be the P1. Yup, I'd take...

The Intel drives are nice, and I would still consider them the more reliable option (despite some issues in the past). But I'm having great luck with the evos lately, I have 2 750GB and 4 1TB units destined for servers sitting on my desk right now.

Your version of Firefox doesn't do this? Within a couple days of a new release the new version is just installed on the machine on load. Sure you can speed it up by going to "Help -> About", but no need to do anything.

The 918 is by far my favorite of the new batch of supercars. http://youtu.be/vlgJV37KUz4

32" 4k IPS exists now, and (compared to high-end monitors of decades ago) is relatively cheap.

Thanks, but I ended up settling on a bunch of Cisco 50-port units. I've spent about $400k in the last month, so I suspect my budget is blown for the year.

Perhaps it can run while the USB charger is connected? I'll try that on the laptop tomorrow, or with the host adapter from my S5

Home listening is usually on some Sennheiser RS220, and my mobile solution was some Ultimate Ears that they don't sell anymore and I can't remember the name. Recently I've been spending a lot of time in server rooms, and wanted something with better noise isolation. Based on a recommendation by...

Nice. Coug will want it when you are done.

Knowing stuff is nice, but knowing people who know stuff is way better. Thanks, Storageforum, for making me seem smart for a really long time.

Struggling badly with IR illumination. At first I thought the one I'd bought to start was simply not good enough, and spent significantly more money on a second one. Now I'm wondering whether this camera simply sucks at IR sensitivity. If this horse pops in the middle of the night and I don't...

Horse

I bought several of a different type of bulb-replacement with an array of LEDs in it, but their color quality was so poor that I'm in the middle of building a better light fixture from scratch.

Recording in two places; a 64GB microSD card in the camera itself is recording on motion and I have the Surveillance Station add-on running on a Synology Box storing a continuous run.

Not sure, but I think daddy was Ultime Espoir (a couple stalls down).

Yup

A very expensive (likely more than our houses combined), very pregnant horse.

Don't care for the visual treatment, but yes to the rest. http://youtu.be/LPfnK8lSLOQ

That does suck, Merc. It sounds like a Patient Advocate might be a good person for you to talk to at this point. If there is anything I can do let me know (A vacation in CA might not hurt if you just feel like waiting it out for a while).

Good enough. Thanks.

I only have an e-mail, and I sent him one quite a while ago without response.

Nope. I use a combination of GoToMyPC and GoToSupport to get in and let my users in.

The 5308 is exactly what I'm using at my main office with 4 3Mbps T-1s going into it. I've managed to get rid of all the hosted services that would require a hole in the firewall, and only have site-to-site VPN links with static IPs. I can tell you that they are very reliable with my kind of...

I've had to deal with some SonicWall products, but have never intentionally bought one. I dislike the idea of a subscription/service model for such things. I'm actually having good luck with the business class Netgear products.
