I'm at a client dealing with the same problem right now. 6GB is the largest mailbox, and I'm targeting everyone over 1GB. PST is really the only way. If they don't want a second folder, you can have all the mail delivered to a single PST on their local machine. The downsides being that web...

When I've done fail-over, it has been the entire storage stack. 2 Fileservers with a bunch of SATA ports connected to a bunch of 1TB SATA disks. Then get redundancy further down the chain by using DFS or something else. Hardware redundancy (Fail-over RAID cards or power supplies) gets really...

Gymnastics isn't something I watched anyway. The pursuit of perfection is clearly not healthy for the participants. Watching children who have had their lives taken for years, and whose skill will be useless in less than four, is just sad. What happens to these kids? And what happens to the...

TV Torrents has a better engine for dealing with TV shows. They give each show their own page, that is managed by someone, and has a single torrent for each episode and each complete season. It also has an enforced ratio, so your bandwidth is better. If you donate (become a member) they will...

Looks like some Chinese Gymnasts are 14 (legal competition age is 16)

Cool. Signed up (ddrueding).

Neat find. I don't think multi-core is efficient in a general performance/watt sort of way, and a single core is quick enough for what these will be asked to do.

Unfortunately, my ratio is blown at the moment. Those recommendations in the other thread fried my credits. I will keep you in mind ;)

I know he has a BluRay player, and was looking for something to do with it. That would be it, I think.

I highly recommend the BBC coverage available on TPB. It is Brit-heavy, but at least you can pick your events.

64GB is plenty for workstations. Even with a decent sized music collection. Typically if people need bigger than that, they need much bigger. Like no-way-an-SSD-will-work bigger.

For my purposes, I don't care about the weight or the battery life. It would constantly be plugged in at home, the office, or my car. Being able to do some serious post-processing on the road would be awesome. It would help me avoid issues like this.

Bring on 7680x4320!

I sit about 24" away from my 42". I use it as a computer monitor, so the whole thing doesn't need to be in view at the same time. I treat it as multiple monitors, with different windows tiled across the space. If I could have a wall of desktop at 3840x2160 I would take it.

2,560 x 1,440? Sweet. That would be a great upgrade to my monitor. To keep near the same pixel pitch I'll need to go to about 56", though. That might not fit on my desk.

I suspect it is a creative decision. IIRC, Lawrence of Arabia was shot wider than anything before (2.2:1); and that wasn't to sell HDTVs ;)

Sweet. Can you RAID-0 those three (SSD) hard drives? That would rock.

I do listen to Car Talk regularly. How It's Made is informative, but the host is terrible. Smash Lab is fun but missing something.

If they aren't interested in helping you, I suggest you help yourself. Or give up on it, which would be the healthier decision...

So long as the power supply keeps the hard drive spinning, it shouldn't be a problem.

Digital OTA (over the air) is still alive and well. Depending on how close to a major metropolitan area you are. If getting stuff over the internet wasn't so much easier, that is what I would be doing.

Olga really likes Heroes, I have BSG but haven't watched it yet. The others I haven't checked out. 99% of my TV time is us watching together, and I don't think SciFi will pan out that well with her.

This computer is getting fairly insane. I wish I could do something useful with all this heat (400W idle, 700W+ load). It never gets cold enough to need it, and when it is hot I wish I could just duct it outside. Wherever I build, it will have the option to intake/exhaust from/to outside.

I feel guilty watching TV as it is, so I don't enjoy things that aren't at least slightly informative. Shows that I wish they made more of: Grand Designs Top Gear Mythbusters Good Eats The West Wing Does anyone have suggestions for similar shows?

I've had two failures out of 16 for me, and none in the bunch more I have deployed. I used Samsung until they weren't offering in flagship capacities, and I never switched back. The fact that my two failures were both operating at high temperatures (one in an unventilated external enclosure, the...

Wow, that is $60 lower than Newegg...

;)

Nope. But it being Vista is typically enough.

IIRC, it is the same as the OEM version. That means that it is tied to one motherboard. You can't move the license to another board/machine. They may also make you buy it with hardware, a pencil sharpener or SATA cable is enough.

No prob, glad you got it figured out. I keep a 250' CAT5 in my work bag for just such occasions ;)

This is why I hate wireless ;) Step one should have been: Plug each computer into the router directly and see if they can see the network. Don't know why I forgot that one...

FIOS...so lucky ;) I assume that all the machines can access the internet correctly? I'm doing this from memory, so it might be a little off: Test one would be to make sure the server's firewall is set to allow file sharing: Start->Control Panel->Firewall->Exceptions Make sure that "File and...

None of your tasks or network are in any way complex. I would put Windows XP MCE on the server (for your XBox goodness) and leave XP on the rest. Those fundamentals are fine and will do all you need to do. Changing them will just make fixing your issues more complex. Now, about fixing your...

Likely. The site JTR linked to has these @ $4 each. Still several hundred dollars for 50....

That slide shows the X25-E with a 170MB/s write, 240MB/s read and 35K IOPS. That is really friggin' fast.

From the bits that I have P2P'ed, it looks like the BBC has awesome coverage. Many channels and all the events, and it's all available online via iPlayer, if you can prove you paid your TV tax and live in the UK :(

Not so much. But Google impresses once again.

It is and they do.

Some level of complexity is required to keep the files in the right places. If you want to help people find files in the structure, consider getting a Google search appliance. Of course, if the current organization sucks, that needs to be fixed regardless.

Did you really post this twice? Why is it in news?

Just reading up on it now, and I can't really see what a FAN is. I support companies with 300+ users in several locations, and I just have multi-terrabyte file servers in each with replication and backup. Permissions are tied into the user management system (Active Directory). What are you...

Please allow me to defend my only "sport" hobby ;) 1. It is a race with a clear winner. 2. It involves physical strength, endurance, and intelligence at levels much higher than other sports. 3. It doesn't involve motors or (at most levels) technical wizardry that isn't apparent to the...

From what I understand, many of these sports have an annual national competition, and the athletes are constantly training, essentially just so they can compete in the Olympics. And their cheering sections aren't that big; mostly family members and those that didn't make the team. Even the...

Exercise is one of those things that stops us from dying, like eating and sleeping. That we no longer have to do it as part of survival (farming, hunting, running from bears, etc) is great. Now we can pick what we do, and try to have fun while not dying. I can understand preferring some sports...

Just to make sure it isn't hardware, what happens when you boot to an Ubuntu LiveCD? I don't think it is hardware, but good to rule it out. After that, are there any peripherals you can detach/unload? With a new OS their might be major driver issues?

If you just want data, why not hook up the drive as a secondary in another PC?

I think I am right, because this lens says "field of view: 10"" and it couldn't otherwise.

I've been reading a lot about telecentric lenses this morning (no work, sucks). And I don't understand how one would be able to view something larger than the diameter of the lens. It strikes me that if all the light entering the lens is normal to the lens, and if objects do not get larger or...

Thanks for the info, Gilbo. Are there any lenses in the Canon world that are telecentric? Something I might know or have?
