    I think the question was, are you declining care due to some objection, or are the treatments not working?

    Since I started informing people that they can keep their @AOL.com address for free, I no longer have any AOL users.

    Anyone using vPro or AMT to get KVM over IP?

    I won't be able to test this for a while. There are some BIOS settings I need to change, and I don't have a service window for a few days.

    Anyone using vPro or AMT to get KVM over IP?

    I have a Supermicro server that includes that IPMI stuff. I'll try to make some time tonight and have a look at it.

    Greg, just an FYI, write-through is the slower caching method. IIRC, It basically disables the controllers write caching and passes all writes through to the drives.

    I haven't tried it, but would be very interested if you get it to work.

    1U Rackmount Servers

    Not only rack density, but cheap servers themselves. A 1U server is several hundred cheaper than an equivalent 3U server. I built these for under $800, so that matters quite a bit.

    1U Rackmount Servers

    That sounds about right. Each server has about 9 fans in it, each capable of 15,000RPM. If temps are low, they spin down to "only" 8,000RPM. They can still be heard through many walls, doors, and windows. Not only is it loud, but the quality of the noise is exceptionally grating. These should...

    Well, there ya go. Keep in mind these things are loud. Just putting them in another room in your house won't be enough. I can hear them through a firedoor in a cinderblock wall.

    The boards aren't completely ATX standard, but could probably be made to fit. There are 4 SATA ports to go with the 4 SATA hotswap bays on the front.

    It would not surprise me for shipping to be about the same in the US. They will likely go for more if they get listed elsewhere.

    1U Rackmount Servers

    Some hybrid thereof. I need to get some money for them, but I'm not particularly concerned how much. $250+shipping to regulars? If no one here is interested, they'll go craigslist or ebay.

    1U Rackmount Servers

    I have 8 Tyan Servers to dispose of. Two of them are Q6600s, the rest are X2 3800s. 3-4 GB of RAM in the AMDs, 4-8 in the Intels. One of the Intel systems also has a PCI-X GbE card in addition to the two onboard. None come with hard drives, all were working when I pulled them but are sold as-is...

    For the paid version, 25.6GB. IIRC, you can pay to get more as well.

    Televisions as monitors: What are you using, and why?

    I wouldn't recommend anything plasma due to the burn-in issues. If someone has vision issues, 1366x768 might even be a bonus. I think brightness is adjustable on all of them. Of course, you want to make sure it has an HDMI port so you can connect using DVI and not VGA.

    Blu-Ray

    If your TV is still analog, does it support HD at all? If not, that would be the place to put money first. I don't see a difference watching a DVD or BR on a standard def TV.

    Upon closer inspection of their images you are right. It seems they changed design and not model number. Bad form.

    I actually have the previous version, it is bigger. They are fully programmable, including macros and key combos. It is actually small. Razer Copperhead. The function keys are the same size as the rest? They are a bit smaller on the G15.

    I can recommend these, I've deployed at least a hundred over the last two years and haven't had a single bad one. The feel is almost as good as mine.

    I take pictures of whatever I feel like or am asked to take pictures of. So far, I get the most enjoyment from walking in the woods or in the mountains. In addition, I've been asked to shoot 3 weddings, 2 football games, 3 parties (confirmation, birthday, batchelorette), a bunch of portraits...

    Thanks for the review. Carmen is my favorite opera by a long way, and I was thinking of seeing it here (the local theater does it). You've certainly cinched the deal.

    Depends on the sport I suppose, and what your access is. I had complete access to that football game, so long as I stayed out of the ref's way. The 50/1.8 was almost fine for that, unless I wanted sweat on someone's brow, or the kick and the reception. It would be OK for motorsports, if you...

    Can you elaborate on that? The 7D is certainly the most expensive body I could get away with, so the competition would be 50D or T1i. Using the 135/2 with a 1.6 crop body makes it a 216mm equivalent, seems pretty sane to me. Zoom lenses are nice, but I can't afford zooms that are fast/sharp...

    This is for the main office at the company I work for. The building is fairly interesting architecturally, and we have our own road, along with lake, fountain, stream, etc. This will be a PR thing, and will likely only start with 256 channels and maybe 10,000 feet of lights. I plan on scaling it...

    A sandbox could do that, I think. I'm just guessing, but the reason you can't have multiple simultaneous installs sue to hooks into the OS, or because they install to the same directory?

    I understand that position, the number of responsibilities/commitments I have here is getting a bit out of control. But at the same time, I was getting blamed for all kinds of shit when I wasn't making the decisions, either. The major thing I miss about being a consultant was the ability to...

    WHS sounds like a good idea in your situation. Gets your resources onto the network, allows you to add the redundancy you are after, and gives you an excuse to stick an SSD in your workstation. ;)

    PCI-X SATA 2.0 Raid controller?

    Greg, a Vertex Turbo gets close to SATA 300MB/s, but doesn't beat it. SATA6 won't get you anything using Vertex Turbos. The bottleneck will be in the controller or northbridge. Somewhere around here I posted some graphs of 3 Vertex Turbos on a ICH10R, and the speed was limited by the controller...
