Awesome. My clients have been really quiet, I haven't billed more than a few hours in the last couple weeks. It's starting to be a bit scary.

By using different subnets and referring to everything via IP.

Sounds like a blast, Tony. I woke up this morning to a beautiful sunny day and was inspired to head out into the hills and take some pictures. As soon as I got to my car I noticed it's battery is completely dead, I haven't driven it in 5 days! Certainly the longest without driving it in years...

GigE speeds, yes. Jumbo frames? Not sure.

Like in your car? You have a Subaru Outback, no? Easy to sleep in the back of that. I used to have an air mattress that fit the back of my car perfectly with the rear seats down. Still 6in too short, but better than just about anything outdoors.

Just finished entertaining Olga's best friend and her new guy (she left her husband about a month ago). She was more fun with her previous guy; her was Dutch, the new one is Russian. Coincidence? I think not.

I was under the impression that a NIC either sends jumbo frames or it doesn't. If jumbo frames are enabled on the NIC, then everything it talks to has to be able to handle them. If your router can't handle jumbo frames, then that traffic won't get out. I believe this is why jumbo frames are...

I have been told that using both network ports on a computer by bridging them allows one side to run jumbo frames and the other side to not. If this is the case, and you only have the two devices to run GbE, you could just connect a crossover cable between the second GbE port on the server and...

Based on my research (ie - not guaranteed to be accurate) Get a basic GbE switch, connect it to your router, connect your GbE devices to the switch. This still won't utilize "Jumbo Frames", but it will be faster (at least mine was) between GbE devices. In order to use jumbo frames, you need...

Last night at 7PM I realized I had forgotten one of Olga's gifts. Fortunately, it was available about 100 meters away and the store was open until 8PM. Now I get to wrap it silently while she is asleep. Wrapping silently doesn't sound like fun.

Quite often the consumer-level routers will only route data through themselves, regardless of what you set them to.

Posting from the bush? Awesome. Using your mobile? What kind of speed do you get? What is causing the affect in the background of the latest image?

Best of luck, Tony. I always enjoy what you bring back.

Last year we went to my grandmothers house for Christmas. Unfortunatly, I failed to book a hotel room in time and we ended up sleeping on the floor in the living room. That wasn't so bad; but my cousin (6) coming in and waking me up at 3, 5 and 6AM asking if it was 'time' yet was a little brutal.

I just realized, I'm barbecuing burgers on Christmas Eve. I forgot what tomorrow was. How very Californian of me.

Those memory numbers are about what I would expect. Comparing a new on-board solution with an older video card that was designed as the low-end to begin with, is a good indicator of how poor on-board really is.

According to the MPAA/RIAA's new laws it may be illegal, seems they are trying to prevent moving content from one medium to another. But I have the originals of 90%+ of the content in boxes in storage. Most of the music I did own (the 320kbps rips are a good indicator), but the CDs were stolen...

That nose has to be good for something...

Funny you should say that. I can't get PowerDVD to play the sound for the HDDVD of Ocean's 13. Other movies (Bourne Supremacy, King King, Etc) all work fine.

Does your VoiP device need to act as a router? I was able to get mine to act as a client on the network, no routing stuff, just it's own IP and the relevant ports forwarded to it.

Looks great blakerwry, thanks!

I'm cleaning. We went to a Christmas party last night, we're going to another tonight. My sister might be visiting next week, and we haven't done a real "top to bottom" cleaning of the house in 6 months.

Doh, forgot the link. Theres hardly anything within 10 miles that is <$800/ft

Here is another house in the area, only $1126/ft, but 5000sq/ft on nearly an acre.

Well, it is on a whole 1/3rd of an acre in the most expensive neighborhood in the most expensive city in one of the most expensive areas of the US. That, and they went totally ballistic on everything, maximizing energy efficiency and recycled earth-friendly materials. R-35 worth of insulation...

Went to Olga's company christmas party last night, held at the Sr. Dr's new house. 3200sqft, 2bd 2ba, a 10' tall 19" equipment rack in the office (ceilings are 10-20ft). There is only one right-angle in the whole place, even the hallway expands from 5' to 12' wide as it enters the living room...

And all I have to read is you calling us weak. That is weak-er. ;)

Agreed, unless it is USB1.1 or DMA isn't enabled?

That is a bad record for 750s. I have 10 Seagate 750GB drives in operation at home 24/7. The only one that failed was in your possession at the time (not that I blame you - the USB enclosure was quite dodgy).

I actually feel the opposite. When I had lots of smaller drives, I was always shuffling things around. If the folder for a certain thing grew too large, I would either need to split it or move the whole thing; starting a more massive shuffle. Now I just add drives when I run low on space. If I...

~9TB? Not bad. I'm still sitting at just ~7TB local storage, but mine is all in one array, a bit easier to handle.

Well obviously I won't be giving any technical or composition-based critique, but I really like it. With the title "Red Barn" it has this whole other background. Typically I like pictures that are clear all the way through, I think it gives the subject context. But this one gets it from the...

One was going to be a backup of the other anyway, no?

No doubt. Every fuel costs an amount in energy to get the energy out of the fuel. Best case is probably coal where all we need to do is dig it up, ship it to a coal plant, and build the coal plant. Worst case is probably uranium, that has to be found, dug out, refined, and nuke plants are (used...

Nice graph, stereodude.

So what is it? Pick 3 technologies that combined could provide double the current needs of the planet. Heck, even make all the "green" ones (solar, wind, hydro) count as one. Geothermal? Nuke? Coal? Tidal? Is the carbon cost of Uranium high because of the gas burned to extract it? Why isn't...

Thanks for the info on the build. That is a very nice spec for lab machines. Did Newegg actually ship you boards other than the ones you ordered? Or were the wrong boards in the right box? That is a huge # of RMAs. I would assume Newegg got a bad batch? RMAing them back to Seagate should...

That would be my point. This is a great breakthrough, but no-one will let you have a reactor of any size without an army to defend it. The only way to make an army cost-effective is to have a large reactor. I think a hydrogen economy is where it's at. It's clean and easy to produce; all you...

I was thinking it would be great to go totally off-grid, using any remaining electricity to produce hydrogen for the car.

I'm game. What exactly would stop me from putting one in the backyard of my suburban home? Zoning restrictions?

;) Or use a different mechanism than just a cable. What about a service where they swap out your dead batteries for already charged ones? Of course, there are wear-level issues and the cars/batteries would have to be optimized for it, but with the right design considerations/service plans it...

Or admits and fixes more flaws...

If the batteries can be charged in 5 minutes, how big is the cable? Sorry to hear about you being sick, I was a few weeks ago, and is sucked.

Fair enough. Did the article I linked to provide (to your knowledge) accurate information?

I read the headline for that piece: "Bush signs bill boosting fuel standards" and thought, "cool!". Then I read it is only to 35mpg and only after 2022 and doesn't include SUVs and Trucks. That practically doesn't matter. If American car companies only aim that high, they will be put out of...

That is a posting error we have had for a long time. If you go to the "advanced" and then "save" it will work.

It sounds like you could always use the space. How much on-line storage do you have?

Not necessarily the motherboard, but definatly the heatsink. Depending on your heatsink, that may require the motherboard as well.

Nice. That is a great case, if you can stand to look at it. (Or, like me, have it behind the couch).
