Most users shouldn't have to, really. Once it is fast enough to stream your video in real time, that is all you need at home. That is why broadband in this country isn't getting much faster; normal users wouldn't notice if it was. Now that Youtube has started offering 1080P, users might notice...

It makes sense that the price chasm between dSLR and medium format is spanned just as the image quality/resolution gap is being cut down. Just a shame that we don't get cheaper MF cameras instead.

Merc has a point Greg, you don't need to burn it, just point VMWare to the ISO.

The CS4 suite consumes an amazing amount. A couple of my programs also copy countless hours of help videos to the hard drive.

Not in my mind. California from around Napa to about Santa Barbara, and from the ocean to a little before Interstate 5. Even if you don't go outside, nice weather is better to look at, and at the very least is cheaper to heat. Even if you don't interact with them, the people here are (on...

X58A-UD9 - It's big, and looks awesome. Even the box is massive, with a cool window in it and everything.

While lying to it may not work, there has always been an "other" option that will allow you to do whatever you want.

I don't understand what you mean when you say unsupported. VMWare will install ANY OS, even ones it has never heard of. It doesn't need to know anything about the OS for the fundamentals to work just fine. What steps are you taking when you get this error?

Home can run the remote desktop client, you just can't connect to a Home install.

I'd suggest a place without snow and with a tech industry. With a few high-level colleges helps the average IQ as well.

Unsupported? I am unfamiliar with that error. Just build a generic VM if it doesn't let you specifically select Fedora. Be sure and give it enough free space ;)

Indeed. How much is that US?

Were I to build a system at the moment, it would look like this: Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition Gulftown 3.33GHz Noctua NH-U12DX 1366 120mm SSO CPU Cooler GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD7 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Motherboard CORSAIR XMS3 12GB (6 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 OCZ Z-Drive R2 M84 PCI-E 512GB PCI Express...

From the Wikipedia article:

Office 2003 can handle it OK, and there are a number of firefox plugins that will put your tabs along the side (very useful).

Seems fine to me. Socket 1366 still has quite some life to it, you can have 6 cores if you like, and SSDs are quite happy at the moment with SATA6 and USB3 readily available.

No, it doesn't. That for you?

Um, no. There is no hard limit on the amount of oil required at any time. It is relatively inelastic, but market forces are still plenty effective, especially over the long term. Just because we are unable to produce X barrels of oil a day does not cause the world to end. Stating that we had to...

Yup. *nix is ready for server-side stuff, but they have a long way to go for the desktop.

Very much so. It is an 80mm fan, so air volume isn't exceptional at quieter speeds, but it will get the job done and is very easy to use/transport.

I have several of these which have a retractable cord, variable speed, and a nice stand. I also have some of these, which are 120mm, but not silent, and are awkward without a stand.

The ghost of Udaman has possessed SD!

Usain Bolt ate nothing but chicken nuggets before setting the world record in Beijing because he didn't trust the local food.

Awesome. Can you post any samples?

My Google SPAM folder autodeletes after 30 days. I never touch it or look at it, but it seems stable in the ~150 messages range.

Fewer and fewer reasons to stay where you are, I suppose. And I couldn't recommend going to a place without shoes.

No kidding.

That does make sense, but isn't having it in it's own directory separate enough? What extra do you get having it on a separate partition? Different filesystems? Redundancy?

Sorry, not that out in the middle of nowhere. Just far enough to not have to see or hear anybody from the house. The hills I'm looking at now are about 200 acres in size and 500 feet tall, surrounded by protected grazing land. The whole thing is about 5 miles from the nearest store and 15 miles...

I don't know enough about *nix to comment on the rest, but not having fixed-size partitions all over a drive can only be a good thing.

I plan on building a house on the top of a completely uninhabited hill miles from anywhere, as self-sufficient as possible, as soon as practical. Within 20 years would be great. You are right that living in cities is cheaper once all costs are accounted for, but (IMHO) at a significant loss of...

I'll be getting one of these when it comes out. Looking forward to that.

Ah, but the punishment is death! Ha!

That one would come off so easily would make me seriously worried about the rest. As Time said, brakes, suspension, frame? How hard was this impact?

We are indeed all screwed. Bounce today, amazing crash tomorrow. Even more amazing crash next week, and next month. Some resistance at every imaginary boundary, but not that much. Every time my wife asks when I'll move our savings out of cash and back into the market, my response is "not yet".

Only exchange, and only with $10k+ copiers. Scan to FTP is usually the most bulletproof, with file shares a distant second.

Glad to hear it. I'm always hesitant to offer recommendations, specifically with printers. Just because something is the best I've found doesn't mean it is actually good.

It happened again. What, is this 7 now?

That is weird. :p The way to combat widescreen uselessness is to put all your menus, toolbars, and tabs on the sides; maximizing vertical space for content.

Two is enough in most cases. And if it isn't that important, just get a single and take it vertical. My home machine is like that all the time.

I also find it funny that they aren't doing a 2TB 3.5" version as well, it isn't like it wouldn't be useful.

I would argue that widescreen in portrait are ideal for multi-monitor setups.

That is the one with the flash chip (4GB)

At one point I read quite a bit about them, but have forgotten most of it. My CPU is currently drawing under 150W, so a 223W peltier could do a decent number on it. I have that much headroom in my existing power supply ;)

500GB for $130...maybe ;)

BingBangBop got it in one. Windows can start a new log file after the current reaches a specified size.

No, inside. It rains here sometimes ;)

Agreed. I would do it if I cared enough to.

I think Sol has this one nailed. Most people are perfectly happy with 1080. If you want more, you can get it for a price.

Indeed, but I might get another 200MHz out of it, and that just isn't worthwhile. On air, my system was quiet at 3.4GHz, and loud at 4GHz. Now it is silent at 4GHz. I'll just take the win ;)
