Yup. Really beautiful. Shame I was in a 2-stop exposure bracketing mode when it began to take off; trying to get the individual shots to match was a pain. Also on that trip I got some pictures of Night Herons in Palm Trees. Another guy who was out let me try shooting with his 1Ds-III and EF...

Although the pictures aren't technically any good, I think the thing that I was trying to capture is beautiful in this series of photos.

I'm afraid you have me confused with someone else. My displays are a 42" 1920x1080 and a 22" 1600x1200. The 42" is almost big enough for that resolution. Photo editing on it is awesome (queue color accuracy comments). You can actually see every pixel; so working on images at 100% zoom is plenty...

Yup. I've been scanning CPF and came to a similar conclusion (close, but not yet). I like a LOT of light when I work, cook, clean, and read. It seems that the best bets are still fluorescent tubes; but those aren't dimmable either.

Ugh, thanks time. I missed that in the spec.

I didn't learn to type well until I started doing Linux command line stuff. Having to type long lines of crap for hours on end is a great way to learn.

I'm thinking of replacing the bulbs in my track lighting with these LED bulbs. The thought is that instead of running 12 50W halogen (600W max on the track and dimmer), I can run many more of these (up to a theoretical 200!) and still save power. The downside is that even if I only get 12 of...

It is busy, but runs just fine on Firefox 3 beta 5 ;)

The most common cause is a poor VGA connection. Are you using VGA or DVI?

OT, but I can't help myself. I watched my first 15 minutes of Soccer yesterday, and it was very boring; even though there were 2 goals (one each) in that time. No sport where the scores often exceed 100 can be as boring as a sport where scores rarely exceed 2.

The new STI seems highly practical (wagon).

EC2+S3?

My mere chance, I wasn't using any power. I was asleep. I suspect they would have a much higher acceptance rate if they did this during the day.

My sister and brother-in-law live in the country near Ithaca. They have been trying to figure ways to power the blower in their pellet stove without electricity for years. We experimented with generators that used gravity and the exhaust heat, but that thing sucks a LOT of power.

Good job Stereodude. Someone has to keep the baseload power up, or we'll have issues with the nuclear reactors...

Sexy and cheap. Good info. Thanks.

I can appreciate the argument made in the article, but the counter-argument was that this will be the last disk format. Even if it isn't the format for all movies and games, it will the the cheap format for small-ish amounts of data for a really long time. Anyone care to guess how long it will...

They were consistent in quoting the RAID card and case fans for both systems, which is where it matters IMHO. I don't think that issue makes much difference in Mark's argument; that socket-771 CPUs require FB-DIMMS and they suck huge amounts of power, removing the benefit gained by the more...

I just watched that episode 2 days ago...

Uda, you want to dial back the insults? Your post was quite disrespectful and outside the standards of the forum, IMHO.

Gah...I didn't know Lotus was owned by Proton!

Bought an 8800GTS and 20sq.ft. of Dynamat Extreme for my project. At the moment, none of my displays are initializing. I'm writing this from a remote desktop connection to the machine while I re-install drivers.

Sometimes it stops at 0%. That is when you are screwed.

Wow, that is a cheap chip.

On the way to one of my more obscure job sites, I ran across an interesting problem. The road had been demolished; there was now a 30' hill of dirt where I used to drive. I needed to find a foreman who could give me new directions to the project site. The really strange part? I was here...

I was ready to stop the test @ 85C, but long term I want the temp to remain under 70C. I'm happy with that and no errors.

I haven't dialed in my cooling or voltages yet. Right now I am @ 3.4GHz, 1.5v CPU, and absolute silence fan speeds. I just downloaded and ran 4 copies of CPU Burn-in 1.01 and it stabilized @ 81C! Wow. I really need to finish tuning this rig.

With a voltage bump my month-old Q6600 is quite happy @ 3.5Ghz. But I do feel your pain, Stereodude.

Awesome. What clock range are they hoping for in this series?

As I suspected, a truly kick-ass 2.5" drive just in time to watch SSDs walk all over them.

I assume you have tried holding the reset button while power cycling the switch? http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/storage/san_switches/mds9000/hw/9124/quick/quide/9124QSG.html

Firefox 3 Beta 4 and the current nightly do a great job scaling the entire page not just the text, for us blind people.

I suspect that the pace of SSD development will have them available at all price points quite soon. They should be cheaper to produce than platter-based drives, once the factories get up to volume.

IIRC, the Mazda CX-7 has a manual knob for adjusting the angle of the headlights.

A number of times I've been tempted to have some "brights" in the back, for just such an occasion.

I think 2 of these would be enough to blind everyone in front of you.

Headlights!:diablo:

I might believe that the RAID controller is the bottleneck, if it weren't for two things: 1. This isn't a cheap RAID card, MSRP is ~$1k 2. My other arrays put out faster numbers At some point, I'll try putting them on the onboard RAID controller and see what happens. But to be honest...

Well, I have 3 drives in RAID0 that are each capable of 80MB writes and 100MB reads; so something isn't right.

In all of my quiet cases, the CPU doesn't get it's own fan. Depending on heat load, it either gets air from a downward-facing 120mm power supply fan or a rear 120mm case fan. In my current rig, the closest fan for it to get airflow from is about 8" away.

Dunno. I haven't really done any performance testing with it in different configurations. Once I get my major project under control (see sig), I'll play with it some more.

The Accelero S2 looks like a nice choice. Do you have much airflow in the rest of the case?

dupe

Even if it doesn't, I can see fiber-optic light distribution systems taking advantage of single high-efficiency light sources.

...except that there aren't any electrodes.

The fins are simply too close together to work in a low pressure cooling system (like most computers have). That is why it takes two fans to force the air through. Amazing they tried to make this sound like a good thing...

Wow. 140 lumens per watt, 250 watts per bulb, and full spectrum capabilities? I'm so in.

Wow. 50 hours is one hell of a backup.

Thanks Gilbo. Once I added the SSDs I had no choice; just too much stuff for a normal case layout.

I built and installed a new computer case which is fairly unusual. Click the link in my sig to take a look.
