Afraid not. VMWare just works too well for my needs to bother with other stuff.

I remember it from a kid, with vague kid-like memories. "oh, cool!". Then I would watch it, and realize that there really wasn't a plot at all "that sucks". Of course, the "oh, cool" memory would stick around longer, and I would be tricked into deciding to watch it again.

I've got Michael Jackson and John McCain. ;)

Those are nice shots, Sol. Glad I'm not living there, though. It got down to 38F (3C) here last night.

Meh. I took a look at the Wikipedia site for the date, and found one that was interesting. I could have done Cal Ripkin Sr, I suppose.

Indeed. I hope you are enjoying your day (that you share with Jaimee Foxworth)

True enough, but that would only be 2TB of online backup service.

Being a company with more than one site, there is no need to pay someone else for off-site backup. Just stick a server with a bunch of drives at another site and back up to it.

Not banned. He just made that his avatar. No idea why.

Put them in an oven around 150F for half a day.

That looks like a cool product. Doesn't look like there is much of a lens selection though.

I've purchased 3 of the 3TB USB3.0 drives, and none have come with a card. Of course, all my Gigabyte motherboards already have at least one 3.0 port.

I've heard of it, but always decided to just get a DSLR instead. Let me know how it goes.

Nope. The website tells you to call customer service. Customer service asks you a bunch of questions, then tells you to call their transaction resolution hotline. The hotline asks you a bunch of questions, then tells you to hold for a rep, then tells you that no reps are available and hangs up...

Nice article. When I was there, I was stunned at the depth of the escalators. Particularly those around the river. And in weeks of riding them many times a day, I never encountered an escalator that wasn't working and completely packed.

I log into my bank account every day to check transactions (thank you mint.com). Just noticed a transaction I didn't make dated today for ~$2800. Turns out BofA customer service claims department is only open business hours. Strike one.

Company Christmas lunch. I also had two going in the oven, but those aren't as exciting.

I'll be getting a batch of upgrades during Intel's next high-end refresh. Not a 980X, but whatever is faster after that. It's a shame I can't find a way to run the client on a VM on a production ESXi server using only the idle cycles.

If I were to buy one at the moment, it would be the Archos 10.1". But I think I'll still wait for 3.0. Any ETAs out there?

Yup. There shouldn't be much seek action, so anything will do. Depending on your CPU (or GPU if the software supports it), even a 2.5" 7.2k would keep up.

Just finished frying a 13lb turkey and and cooking another in a paper bag on the grill. In the rain.

Doesn't look like it yet. I really want a larger screen, and something with some more power that would be upgradeable to 3.0 would be nice.

That was only 3.5 hours ago. You have sobered up that quickly? (kidding)

Just happened again, and I got more info this time. After some interrogation, this is common with all three instances: User was prompted for some form of Adobe update while using Firefox. Update succeeded, but internet was immediately inaccessible. I really don't want to rebuild this machine.

You might consider a network-enabled surveilence camera instead. They can sit directly on your network and upload images to an FTP on their own. I have no direct experience with any of them.

I've been lusting after some of these for quite a while.

Assigning disks to folders gets really complicated really quickly. It leads to things like a volume having free space but a folder being full. Not good for organization, IMHO. Dynamic Disks will survive most anything, including system upgrades and swaps.

No doubt, though this could be said for most of the tech world. At $100, I'll get another before 6 months are up ;)

I've had my share of disappointments with tablets, specifically the iPad, but I do see a place for them near the couch, breakfast table, or toilet.

No idea if the WHS client app will install. I can try it out if you like. 2003 or 2008?

Looks like there are a few out there now, and at some fairly amazing price points. Is anyone here considering one? Maylong 7" - $100 Augen Gentouch 7" - $180 Zenithink 10" - $260 I would love a larger (14-17") for the coffee table, but that would bump the price considerably.

That is a heck of a price to pay to try to keep information away from a company that is a world leader in gathering information. Personally, I'd rather trust Google with my credit card info than random-dude-on-the-net.

Does the unit support 3rd party firmware like DD-WRT or Tomato?

Indeed. And a lot of it involves a webcam. *cough*chatroulette*cough*

But far more likely that my estimation of humans in general will decrease. I'd prefer to remain optimistic.

Talking to a human? No thanks. ;)

Thanks for checking that out.

Never before have I had such a hard time finding the price of an item. Behr Ultra "Ultra Pure White" Satin finish, 5Gal bucket All I can find is home depot online selling it by the 8oz sampler. That would be expensive and time consuming.

Certainly not a recipe for speed and stability, but these folks certainly know what they are doing and pulled it off.

OpenLeaks, a copycat organization founded by some of the WikiLeaks folks distancing themselves from Assange, has now been started. Soon there will be more, and competition to break the story and release more info than the others. This will lead to the dissemination of pretty much anything anyone...

The only issues I've had with Cable around here is that the modems they provide are crap. I'm ordering one of these for my house.

I suppose that depends on the app. We have an construction-industry-specific piece of software (Harddollar) that requires 3 2008 machines (DB, App, Web). Typically industry-specific stuff is the worst, but these machines have are only touched for software updates once every 6 months. It is all...

4 weeks shouldn't be an issue, particularly on a machine like that in those conditions. The built-in UPS may actually be a benefit. Just in case, you might want to configure the app to run on startup.

I wouldn't expect that kind of uptime from a laptop; they are thermal timebombs. I have yet to find one that can run indefinitely without thermal throttling or crashing. None of them seem to have enough cooling to do the job right.

The business Internet+Basic TV looks like a good deal. 22/5 for $105/mo.

Basically: 1. Build them right 2. Don't install anything you don't have to 3. Don't touch them unless you have to I would certainly be testing all these software programs on one machine, then nuke it for a clean install and just put on what finally decide on.

Not if you make it redundant. All the files may not be on the same drive, but all the files will be on at least two drives each.

My system at home (7 Ultimate x64) hasn't been rebooted in a couple months. I have some servers that have been up 1.95 years (bit late on some updates)

Something like this?

File-based replication, capacity expansion/reduction, mixed capacity drives. These are more user friendly and flexible than standard RAID configurations.
