Thanks, I think I'm good. Handy is all the pre-sales I need, and this site combined handles my support needs ;)

Interesting. I've bought many of their products, and even have current service contracts, and I haven't even gotten an e-mail much less a call.

I'm familiar with this autostart option, it was in VMWare server and ESXi, but seems to be missing from Workstation. I suspect that there is some way to do it via a script of some kind. Snapshots will probably work fine for backups, and can probably also be scripted. Connecting to each machine...

I do think virtual is the best way in this scenario. An office with 4 full-time employees requires 3 servers as it is currently configured. One of those servers is 2000 and can't be upgraded due to the application on it. Right now my biggest complaint is that one of the VMs is maxing the CPU...

I just saw the 6D this morning. 4.5FPS? WTF? If it could keep up with the 7D I would be all over it.

I have a client with only a few VMs and no full-time support staff. The boss' son is the best I have on site, and he is only familiar with Windows. I'm planning a machine that will be running 7 Pro with VMWare Workstation 9 hosting the production servers. This strikes me as the easiest way to...

Yeah, I'm clearly out of practice. Coug's build is far superior.

How is it? I was drooling over that when I was looking to unload this 85/1.2 II.

And you say you haven't been keeping up? That seems like a much better deal (and a better drive for that matter).

Antec NSK 4482 Black / Silver 0.8mm cold rolled steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 380W Power Supply LITE-ON Black SATA DVD-ROM Drive Model iHDS118-04 - OEM Mushkin Enhanced Essentials 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model ...

That is the nice thing about lemmings, they will jump when you tell them to.

It actually is still running, the client wants 64GB of RAM instead of the measly 32GB that is in the box now. Hopefully that will arrive tomorrow. I am not getting all the money I spent for the parts originally, but I am getting current market value for the parts. Lost about $3k I'd imagine; I...

Interesting. Did he voice his reasoning? Was he drunk?

Instagram seems to be causing people to make their blurry pictures with poor color rendition even blurrier and with worse color. Is anyone else noticing this?

I'd assume that the VM establishes an encrypted link (VPN?) with the server independent of the host, and maintains its own AV and the like. Not completely secure, but neither is anything else given to a user.

Done. After being the 122nd most productive user (with only one machine) for a while, this machine is finally going down. Coug only needs to make up a bit over a million points to get his spot back.

Not THAT plank...put that peashooter back in ye britches...

The mSATA form factor costs more than standard SATA, and the M4 is one of very few drives available.

So would I (in fact I did), but Lunar tends to work with laptops, so I linked the one that would fit.

Nope, neither cares about the consumers. They care about their customers, which are the not the consumers.

You mean like this?

Meh, if the performance benefit is substantial I can go to $500. These will never be at a loud level, but fidelity at low volumes across the frequency range is important.

Budget would be about the same as yours. They would sit on either side of my main monitor (42" LED-LCD TV) so they could be fairly large. Distance from them to my ears would be about 2'. My main interest in having them so close is that it will seem much louder to me than anyone walking past my...

I have an office, and am considering moving the Onkyo NR-808 in there, and have already put in a bunch of acoustic treatment. I just don't know what speakers to put in to replace the Klipsch 2.1 system I've had for over a decade. Looking for something good in the near-field with a strong low-end...

It requires the the SDK be installed of your computer to work, and the SDK is only available over steam, but I doubt you would need steam to be running to use the SDK in this capacity.

I agree that PCIe is the better interface for stuff, but this seems like an unnecessary complication. Surely we just need a PCIe cable, and then can hang drives (or GPUs, audio cards, etc) off of it. Why make this specific for drives?

I haven't had time to pull the system yet. It may be mid-next week.

I also like that is has a web-based GUI front-end that is capable of launching a console. When their wireless devices became popular they even released a (free!) client app that was able to monitor and configure many links at once. That would be awesome.

They are probably like jeeps in that respect. Full of potential, but sure to go wrong. The only hope is that the stories are worth it.

More excited than I should be about this. Of course Ubiquiti is notorious for launching before any product is in the channel, and their pricing is so disruptive that it is impossible to get any for months.

Useful tool. Funny videos. Awesome post.

That does suck for you, Coug. When I took my current full-time job it paid 50% of my average while consulting, but as Merc has mentioned, that piece of mind means a lot. Now I am tempted with other positions that pay better, but with my current position I know it is mine until I die or the...

Sorry to hear that. It will actually be a close call, as this machine will be leaving over the weekend. It was a good (but very expensive) run.

And I just ordered a 960GB Revo3 X2. Just over $1/GB.

Enjoying your last days as #2 on the team, Coug? The sale of this box is finally pending, but I don't think it will go out for another week at least ;)

Can't blame them, I'm sure it is their hosting partners that are the bottleneck. There aren't too many OC-12s available to test against ;)

That is the backbone of one of my ISPs. I had my laptop jacked in for a while and had some fun. The link is actually good for 500/300, but apparently speedtest.net becomes unreliable at these speeds.

;)

I believe that the park/unpark procedure can happen so quickly that it doesn't need to wait for you. It detects a falling (likely low-g) situation and parks until it is stable again and then resumes. The dialog is just telling you it is working, not waiting for you to interact in any way.

I bet that 1" cube will hold a book to a refrigerator.

Levitation was always my favorite. Particularly if you had enough to build a maglev track of sorts.

I'm in complete agreement. If you care about quality more than price, the T-series is a nice place to be. I have two of them myself.

Disassembled/Cleaned/Rebuilt the bike tonight, it can be a very zen thing. I fitted the new K-Edge Garmin mount and K-Edge GoPro mount, swapped out my water bottle cages for ones that grip a little tighter, and replaced my blown rear tube/tire. Very relaxing. Then managed 20mph on city streets...

That is awesome. I wonder if they need to take any special precautions to ship these things? Put them in a cardboard construction large enough that the field strength outside the box is reasonable? Special labeling? Edit: Though if you are going to ruin something that expensive, you may as well...

Magnets are like lasers....fun until someone loses something ;)

Yup, their website mentions that. It also recommends the bike for 1 year of age and older. And my wife has already set the speed limit with trailer at 30mph. Oh, well.

I know that eating bugs is supposed to help their immune system, I figure I can assist that. Nothing like one going up the nose at 30mph. ;)

Sweet. I wonder how old the kid should be before I give them a taste of speed ;)

Looks good. How to you attach the CX1 to the Nishiki?

18.5kg? That is more than double my bike, with lights and two full water bottles.
