So you would keep the scripts on a thumbdrive? For the most part these are computers I'm touching for the first time, and don't have anything on them. At the moment I'm going to the desktop, opening the folder explorer, using that to get to the standard control panel, and getting to network...

A task that has been common for me for years keeps getting more difficult with each OS, and I would love people's advice on the simplest way to do it in Win8: Change an IP address on the wired NIC. Thanks.

I'm supportive of the project, but they still have a long way to go. It annoys me that they do a cut after the thing falls/rolls; I would have felt much better if the camera had kept rolling and it just stood back up.

Per that link, they refer to the IMAX HD variant which was 48fps. Started in 1992.

Re-read the gizmodo piece, and I don't think there are any real arguments there. Many of his sentances could refer to any upgrade in medium, including from books to radio or radio to movies. Yes, it is harder to make because you are showing a more complete story. Yes, the presentation itself is...

10FPS would suck, 24 is better, I see no reason to believe more isn't better in this metric. All the arguments seem to be couched in "what has been done before".

I haven't seen the film yet, but the HD+ high-FPS stuff I've seen makes me agree with you.

The other point with regards to SSDs and writes is whether the pagefile sees any action if you have enough RAM. It might never be accessed even if you leave it at default settings. In either case, SSDs have a high enough write limit for that to be a non-issue.

Assuming the PATA drive the one with the OS on it?

Badass until you fall to your death. Then dumbass.

Probably. But ram is so cheap these days that it mitigates the issue, and the useful life is longer than you need anyway.

Shoot a video. Bring it up in the gallery. Start playing it. Choose the menu key (bottom left "hard" button) and choose "trim".

We figured it would be a cube 4'x4'x4'.

Just the regular camera app. She mainly does it to get them under the 25MB attachment limit.

One of my clients regularly crops video on her S3 before emailing it. The stock app supports it including a timeline with previews. I was amazed how well it works.

Glad that worked out for you Azjazz. Now that SSDs are getting cheap enough per GB we can finally get HDDs out of the system entirely in some cases. That makes life much simpler.

It is my portable toolbox. Lives in my glove box most of the time and contains all the software I commonly need and system images. I'll also use it to transport backups from "offline" sites to my office. The 64GB wasn't enough anymore.

I'm sure I could get a structural engineer to sign off on it ;)

I was still game, I thought a massive fish tank hung like a chandelier would have been awesome.

Interesting App. Of the last 236+ hours, 70% was deep-sleep and 22% was 384MHz. 2% at 1512MHz and rounding error in the rest of the states.

My brother-in-law and I once did a similar calculation. He needed emergency power for the blower on his pellet stove, and we thought it would be cool to have a weight decend the double-height entryway in case of emergency. He only needed a couple hours of power, but we calculated the weight as...

The Google App has worked so much better than the rest for so long I don't know anyone that is using anything else.

Even LED isn't there yet for LCD backlights; the U3011s I have still use tubes to get better color rendition. IIRC, tri-color LEDs in the backlight can work but are more expensive and more power hungry than the tubes. The Nexus 10 is undoubtedly the best tablet screen ever, but still has a long...

JTR, you really are missing something sticking with 1024 compared to 1600...the difference is pretty huge.

Wow that is some money. I'll just stick with 2560x1600 tiled horizontally (2x 1280x1600 is very useful)

That is a tricky thing you have going. If you can, I suspect the easiest way to go about it would be to back up your P: drive elsewhere and delete the partition from the 750GB drive entirely. Then just do a whole drive copy to the SSD (it will resize as needed).

Woah, Coug stepped up his game....

3.0 Thumb Drive. Not sure what a horse drive is?

The Corsair Flash Voyager GT 128GB can in fact sustain 140MB/s writes and much faster reads. Awesome.

Indeed. At least mine is 1600 tall.

21:9 ratio, 2560x1080 resolution, 29"

It is just a stupid filter. Worst case scenario close the road to vehicle traffic.

I'm sure they are also subject to some level of data mining. But what would my company care? Does anyone who has access to the un-anonomized data care about construction in central California? And once it is filtered and aggregated it doesn't matter anymore.

I suppose it depends on your definition of sensitive. My company is completely OK with data being on the web, knowing that competitors will have just as hard a time breaking into Google as into a local exchange server (guessing passwords). The government will get in with a court order anyway...

Good thing you put the smiley in there, otherwise you would merely be stating a common belief.

At some scale it becomes cheaper to run in-house, but some things Google will always be better at. 1. SPAM detection (largest sample size, largest man-hour investment) 2. AV (same reasoning) 3. Uptime (multiple datacenters, distributed storage, etc)

I think the reason I enjoy 11foot8 so much is that stupid doesn't get punished enough in our society. Too often smart people take crazy measures to accommodate stupid people. But that far south of the Mason-Dixon I suspect there is a shortage of smart people to take said measures...

I'm actually pretty stoked that my new motherboard (ASUS P9 X79 WS) has a header for a serial port on it.

Not according to the current announcement. Unless they make further changes we are still in for free. I even got many domains in when free was 25 users ;) And my paid accounts are being charged @ $50/user/year currently.

Google does indeed have a massive concentration of our data, and using them for e-mail/docs gives them more, but as Merc says it is a lot of work to get something nearly as good. Not worth it for less than a couple hundred accounts at least.

What makes you want to leave Google?

The gtx690 can produce an insane amount of of heat. I would treat it with a lot of respect.

I can vouch for CS6 on Win8 as well.

Awesome. Both the accomplishment and the results.

Currently considering the Samsung HT-E5500W. Looks to be the right size and offer the right number of inputs. I also think the wireless bridge to the rear speakers would allow actual surround sound in their (rental) house.

Hoping for some advice here, a friend has a limited space and needs a receiver and blu-ray player. The space is too small both in terms of height and depth to fit a standard receiver. I was hoping for some kind of integrated thing. If not integrated, there is enough room for two short/shallow...

That is a wacky failure mode if I've ever heard one. What ever happened to Intel's story of drives simply entering read-only mode when the cells can't be written to? I've yet to hear of one that failed that cleanly.

Quite so. Panels of even, high-CRI light would be fantastic.

Interestingly enough, any slot lags the machine at the start of a WU. Pausing the primary does seem to fix the issue regardless of which slot is starting a new WU. I'm not going to stop folding, or even reduce production by 25%, but eventually fixing it would be nice.

Having an issue where every time a new WU is started my machine nearly freezes/studders for a couple minutes. To the point where Pandora starts and stops every couple seconds and the mouse is largely unresponsive. With 4 GPUs this is more than once an hour. If I can get the FAHControl up, I can...
