I hear it is very pretty. Is there a demo so I can just have a look?

Never even installed an MMO before, much less played one. But I did just create an account, and it will be downloading while I'm at work. I'll poke around when I get home tonight.

I don't know about the rest, but I'm certain this is wrong. In every heat engine I know of, efficiency increases with size and maintenance costs per unit energy don't.

My opinion of those two is exactly as you have described them. I do really like my ASUS Transformer, but not enough to recommend it above those you mentioned.

Not as well as Android. If you are using Google stuff, you will be better off on an Android.

Glad to hear it, paugie. It has been a while since we've heard from you...

Indeed.

That was the cheap way to fill the urge if you don't actually need anything. If you do have a need, get this and call me when it's full ;)

This. Manage the urge with minimal expenditure. ;)

Yeah, vehicles aren't in the current beta....they opened that map up for a day and closed it again with a "thanks...kinda" vibe to the announcement.

I'll ride on wet roads, and I'll ride in the dark, and I'll finish a ride if it starts raining. But I'm not going out in the dark while it's raining. That would be dumb.

Boxee is handling my tv shows amazingly well. Identifying shows, grouping them by season, and giving full blurbs and art. Fantastic.

Got the UE TripleFi 10. For the record, mine came with several pairs of comply tips in the package. I've had them in for about an hour so far and I'm really enjoying them. They are likely the most accurate way I have of listening to music so far (certainly beats my cars, likely the office as...

My night rides are never longer than 90 minutes, so a battery would be fine with me.

Very tempting.

What does something like that weigh?

Right numbers, wrong order. Want me to fix it?

What I have now weighs 94g for 150cd. I'm willing to triple that weight, but not much more.

What do you plan on doing for bike lights? I right quite a bit at night as well, particularly in the winter, and what I have isn't cutting it.

Interesting thing happened on the ride tonight. 9PM, on an empty dark road, riding solo fairly quickly. The crank arm separated from the left side of the bike. I'm still clipped in, so the pedal and crank arm are dangling from my foot. Got to ride the two miles home with a single leg...that is...

The usual. PM if interested.

Sketch-up would be the free option. I'm currently designing my own desk using SolidWorks. Mine isn't folding, but it is 11' wide, 20" deep, and cantilevered off the wall only on the ends.

No more than theft of any other trailer. There are systems commercially available to reasonably protect a trailer from theft.

The 18 formatted to around 15.

Not a thing. It would be fun to play with for a week or so, then I would just shut it down to avoid the colossal power bill. It would help me get on top of the F@H team pretty quick though.

Indeed. According to their changelog, they've released 3 updates in that time.

When I had the game center, my favorite games were the BF series. Starting with 1942, then Vietnam, then BF2. All of them worked fine, including key switching and all kinds of other trickery. 2142 was a PITA, but it wasn't very popular so I didn't sweat it much. The BF3 open beta is now rock...

Here is a company that will take care of you. 60 cores and 2TB RAM with 2 300GB drives for $75k. It would be interesting having a machine with (significantly) more RAM than HDD

Indeed. That they have finally built a drive that nearly matches the X25-E is not what I wanted to hear. Let's see what Intel can do when they get to roll their own all the way to the PCIe interface.

To get the info? No. To use it in court? Yes.

Of course, my biggest concern is the insurance agencies. The police will obviously need a warrant.

The geek aspect of having ODBII-type information\programming on my phone certainly appeals. I must admit I'm slightly concerned from a security standpoint. The ability to anyone on the internet being able to unlock and start my car does have a downside. IIRC, the first implementations of this...

Haven't seen them in person, but I saw several images online, including in some people's ears. My ears are fairly large, and I ordered a bunch of different sizes of the the Comply plugs, so I'm not too worried about it.

I just want to know if it supports triple crossfire ;)

time has some fine suggestions. I can personally second the U2711, as I went from a pair of 21" to that and it has worked great. Particularly if you are using Windows 7 and can use the "Win+Left" and "Win+Right" shortcuts.

Just paid 2.5x as much....should be here Monday.

Less than $5k? Wow. My boss was looking for a new TV for the living room (the current unit is only 46"). Considering any change in size would require the custom cabinet work to be redone, and that the cost of that would be double this TV, I don't see why we shouldn't go there.

The "System Management" ones allow you to control the machine remotely, even in the BIOS. The rest are RAID cards or RAID expanders.

It is all about latency. L1 cache - 1ns DDR3 - 10-40ns SSD - 100000ns

The only way to increase cache hits for reads is to make it smarter or bigger. Making the read cache >1% of the total drive size is quite generous compared to most, and would probably work quite well with some decent software making the predictions. Of course, my largest corporate (many...

I've bought loads from them, but I've never had a reason to contact them. Still no failures. Perhaps I should fake something just to feel them out?

Got my BF3 open beta invite, but the game is so buggy it is amazing. The rounds only last a couple minutes, but I'm lucky to get through 20% of them without crashing out. I think I'll just sit out until they clean it up a bit more.

I ended up buying a Boxee Box for the back room. It has handled everything I've thrown at it, from MakeMKV'd BluRays to TPB'd Formula One races. It's wireless range sucks, but that doesn't matter as wireless isn't capable of high quality HD content anyway. Merc, that does sound like fun...

B3, I think you are right about the speed difference between the HDD and the caching drive. I don't have any of those "green" drives in operation anywhere.

If you have enough RAM it doesn't make any difference IMHO.

It would make an excellent cache drive to a 100TB+ array. I can only imagine how well that would perform, and reliability would be much less of an issue.

An interesting proposition. All that really needs to be able to be done is direct mapping of NICs to the VM without any NAT or other junk. I physically have a "Red" and "Green" NIC that only talk to the VM, a cable goes from the "Green" to the switch and then back to a NIC that is on the host...

I won't touch a CyberLink product, either. But Avid has a good reputation in the pro world.

I don't know if it would. There are some complex network setup and partitioning bits to keep it secure.

I've never used the XP Mode VM ;)
