Looking at one of these used from a friend. Specialized Tarmac Comp Rival More than I am ready for, but I don't think I could get as good a deal elsewhere.

The only thing worse than govt. running healthcare is something like Halliburton running healthcare.

I think the warning is that it is from Tom's Hardware. Their research and reporting has not always followed scientific standards in the past.

I'm fairly certain that voltage and clock speed scale with load, but for a certain voltage and clock speed, I suspect it is just a resistive load.

America is too big to fail, and that is a bad thing.

I'm of the opinion that it really matters very little either way in a brass-on-the-Titanic sort of way. Sure fundamental human rights are a good thing, and the Democrats are better at that. A responsible fiscal policy is also a good thing, and the Dems have shown more sense here as well...

The article sounds about right. It seems that the politicians have no greater fear than re-election; even if they are in control of a bankrupt nation. You'd think that the trillions immediately added to the debt once we lose our credit rating would be enough to get it off the table; any cuts or...

IIRC, wattage increases at the square of the voltage? I know it isn't linear...

Yeah, that is a lot of electricity.

Well this one is at 3.5Ghz and 1.1v stable. Still testing the rest, but heat production is way down.

At the moment I don't have an OS on it...I'll get the F@H time once I finish the OC/voltage testing.

I'll find out today.

A customer. I've only kept the rich ones who want something faster than Dell can sell them.

i7-980 Gigabyte G1.Assassin Kingston HyperX 24GB DDR3-1600 Gigabyte GTX580 OCZ RevoDrive 240GB Corsair AX750 PSU I have it very slightly OC'ed (3.4Ghz) and significantly undervolted (1.225v CPU, 1.54v RAM) at the moment, undergoing stress testing overnight. Anything anyone would like to see in...

Quote of the Day for CougTek (stolen from someone's /. sig): Violence is like duct tape. If it doesn't solve the problem, you didn't use enough.

What has me pissed off at Oracle/Primavera today? How about buying a $1500 program, and then being stuck during the install until finding on page 4 of a PDF offered separately on a download gateway page the following: The program prompts for a serial number. Nowhere during the e-delivery or...

Quite so. But it would be fatal at even 10,000 RPM, so why bother worrying about it.

Indeed. Once they get the thing to spin at 60,000 RPM it should be much lighter ;)

That is very cool. I'd assume it is far more effective than typical IS lenses? From the website: "For photographic work in low light levels, exposures to 1 second can be used (hand held)." For $2k, it'd better be.

Not up to a certain size. I don't remember exactly, but it is pretty darn big. Which Gyro were you looking at for stills? I assume you mean handheld?

That is massively good. I love that he has a camera mount on his helmet.

I did, but the Noise and Comfort ratings weren't high enough. As much as I like pushing the car, this is my daily driver, and I can't compromise the comfort too much.

We'll see how happy I am when they show up. When I was shopping around, I was doing so without price being a consideration. Only after I had the top three sorted did I look at price. The only one above the DWs was the Pirelli P-Zero for double the price, so I think I did OK ;)

Well, I was using Adobe Bridge, but it does not making copying/moving files very easy. And if all you are doing is glancing into a folder to see what is in there, having to launch any program is more work than it should be.

The ride and noise ratings were much worse for the Hankooks.

I'd like to see one built, just so I could see it. Maybe get a view from the top.

All the resellers are sourcing them from some warehouse somewhere, it's just that the money bought me someone to pick up the phone and get them coming.

Being able to view thumbnails in Explorer makes my life much easier. Having to open Adobe Bridge just to see what pictures I'm dealing with is a PITA. Something as simple as identifying an HDR set becomes much simpler.

Just ordered a set of Continental ExtremeContact DW tires for my car (225/40-18). While the Tire Rack and others advertise low prices, none of them can give me an ETA for availability. My local shop will have them for me by the middle of next week, but after shipping, install, alignment...

I actually like the windmills ;) Though I understand the offshore kind generate more power anyway.

Thanks Pradeep. Though that is still over $500. Looks like a good unit.

Sweet. Now I can ditch Bridge. Thanks for the link!

The size isn't particularly relevant; there is plenty of unused space in the world. The cost to build, the cost to maintain, and the amount of power it generates are the important figures, IMHO.

Got back into basic 2D tower defense games after playing Sanctum for a while and realizing that the FPS part was my weakness. I had played on the Casual Collective before, and now had to create an account on Facebook to play their new version. If anyone is interested in some multiplayer Desktop...

time, I agree that their power figures seem considerably high. I assume you were following this more closely while they were trying to build it there? Do you have any links to the Chinese version? Even if the power figure is considerably lower, if the longevity were good enough, it would...

Fixed. Thanks!

How to change the subnet of an existing MS DHCP Scope Just saved my butt...thought I'd share.

Nope. I don't do much video.

My SanDisk Extreme Digital CF cards have "90MB/s" printed on them, but copies to the card are never faster than 15MB/s and from rarely exceed 30MB/s using a SanDisk Extreme USB2.0 reader. I'd love to know what it would take to get closer to 90MB/s. What are you guys using?

Recent cheap 5400RPM SATA drives have been incredibly unreliable in RAID arrays. There is much speculation as to why.

Indeed, the cheapest I can get a U2411 for is $503.

Not saying that it isn't bullshit, but all the numbers are massively theoretical until one is built. My intuition is that power output will be massively nonlinear with regard to size, due to the many metrics that scale in a complimentary fashion.

They are arguing that this would continue to produce power through most of the night, considering the latent heat stored in the desert floor, and the considerably lower temperature at high altitude regardless of surface temperature.

For $400 the gamut is quite good. The best for the 24" sub-$500 monitors, I think.

I was just reading about that. I would want to hear why this company failed to build it in Australia (which was their first pick, for many years) from someone besides the company founder. I do like the concept, and would love to check out the view from the top.

Sweet. Figures this would come out right after I order 4 P2411s :(

I think a few of us contributed...my number was 9 ;)

Faster, just not a whole lot. Certainly not slower.

PM me your e-mail

Indeed ;)
