GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS4 Rev. 2.0 Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz GeIL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 GIGABYTE GV-NX86T256H GeForce 8600GT 256MB Intel SRCU41L PCI Express SCSI ~$1000$US I know I wouldn't be putting money into what you have, when better performance is that close...

From a quick scan, it seems the 6800Ultra costs about 500$US on their own... Is the 7900GS compatible?

This howto will keep me busy: Ubuntu + Postfix + Courier IMAP + MySQL + Amavisd-new + SpamAssassin + ClamAV + SASL + TLS + SquirrelMail + Postgrey :eek:

LDAP server running, phpLDAPadmin connected, LDAP database populated. SAMBA tied into LDAP, Linux and XP workstations tied to SAMBA including home dirs Next up: ProcMail! It seems that all the how-tos for ProcMail refer to it as a processing tool for Postfix; am I missing something...scratch...

The good drives aren't using RAM, they are using flash (non-volatile).

udaman is not consistently relevant; but such is the way of the "something random" thread ;)

Procrastination is not logical ;)

Lately I've put the computer games away; any time I'm at my computer with spare time, I'm playing with Linux. Any time I need to procrastinate from that, I'm checking the forums. I estimate I refresh this page ~40 times an hour.

$1000 bills are very rare. $100s are all the bank will give you.

This looks very useful for LDAP/Samba integration.

Of course, before you saturate 16 cores with any of the above, you will want more than a single 7200RPM drive. But I/O is cheap these days; for the original cost of your SCSI gear, you could have a complete SSD solution!

2003 Web Server will support 16 cores (4CPUs @ 4 cores each). Saturating 4 cores is easy. Most of the things I do would benefit from more. Scenario 1: Video encoding (DVD to x264/DivX/XviD) Scenario 2: Batch photo processing (RAW with preconfigured settings to PSD with automated level/plugins...

Technical issues?

Heh. I post from client sites, from their computers, while billing them hourly. ;) Long gone are the days where employees are exclusively yours 9-5; though I don't think productivity has suffered too much because of it. The additional productivity offered by computers and the internet has...

More you-tubing... Normally, I think Japanese TV is just stupid. But this is awesome. Live Matrix Ping Pong without CGI

Roddick vs. Pong And amazing wastes of man-hours: Pole Position Pong Space Invaders

No-one ever posts on weekends...do you guys have, like, lives? Or something?

I'm trying to figure out what records are required in LDAP to correctly verify and operate Linux login verification, Samba(including AD authentication) and ProcMail. Does anyone have a location where this information is stored? I've been googling for days, and all the stuff I find is either...

Just leaving the door open wouldn't be enough; most of us have other "doors" between our workstations and an outside IP (firewalls, NAT, etc). It has to be something sent from the OS out. Has anyone done a study to find all the traffic that a stock OS sends out? It would be interesting to see...

Was the battery on the recall list? Perhaps they didn't want the liability of it blowing up on you...

I don't use footrests because my position is constantly changing, my desk it 8' long. The seat bottom would be slightly too high in front, if it weren't for the tilt forward feature, which (when combined with the lumbar support) puts the back nicely vertical and supported at the same time.

Really high-speed PCI-E based SSD ETA: "Q4/Q1" Price Target "$30/GB" 100,000 IOPS 900MB/s+ 80-640GB capacity

Aeron just arrived. Assembly was easy. I got all the options, including the new adjustable lumbar support (that my old one didn't have) and the large-diameter wheels that roll through thick carpet quite easily. I've only spent about 20 minutes in it so far, and I need to drive south and pick up...

I haven't tried printing photos on one, but it is big.

I suppose my views on the interface are biased. I know the menus, and I know the control wheel. I can operate any iPod while it is in my pocket or while drivng without thinking about it. Although you may not be able to do that now, it is inherent in the interface that you could at some point...

That would ruin the view... ;)

Communist Conspiracy! (as I get hit in the back of the head by my Russian GF) ;)

I like the animation in the BBC link. It wasn't too much bigger in 1990.

That is why I'm tempted to keep my 7950GT; it is the fastest passively cooled card out, AFAIK. I'm considering SLI-ing them before installing a leaf-blower into my machine.

Better than DeepBurner?

I also bought the Canon 35/2, but the distance I am from the subject makes a 50mm almost perfect.

As has been stated in other threads here, you don't need iTunes to use an iPod. In fact, I think anyone would be a fool to install software written by Apple on their PC. Ephpod. Get it, use it, love it. ;)

I still don't think any of them can hold a candle to the interface of the iPods.

Wow, Noise Ninja is pretty awesome!

Distracting/Disrupting is right. This isn't a photo shoot, it is a dance. My taking pictures was not requested, nor entirely appreciated. Any change in the atmosphere of the location is completely out of the question. Further, In order to catch specific moves, it is a lot like bird photography...

Thanks ;)

Nice that you put the disclaimer at the bottom; lot of good it did me there :p

Stereo, These are candid shots, no flash. Even if that means they aren't possible at all, I can't use flash. Uda, Actually, I was following your math pretty closely. Looks good, except for how much money you are talking about. :p Thanks for the tip on noise ninja, just getting it up to...

Wikipedia seems to have a good writeup. I'll look it over later today, and have something intelligent to say (for a change) ;)

Based on this, all we need to do it have a complete socio-economical collapse ;)

I know what it is, but don't know much about it. Something about carbon trading, and it being near useless because of all the "free" carbon credits being passed around. Also something about China getting a pass?

I was shooting in a dark club (actually, the rented ballroom of a church, but it is very dark). I don't really know RAW processing that well, but I'm trying to avoid over/under exposure by looking at the curves and balancing all those sliders accordingly. Here's one I was just playing with...

Keep swiping. We're just entering fall here, and we get quite a bit of overcast before noon. In order to overcome this, I have the CFL equivalent of 1200W of lighting in my living room (5m x 3m) and would love more. My kitchen (3m x 2m?) has 3 120W equivalent bulbs in it, and I love it. It's...

You are correct, it is only 8x. But I haven't seen any 1x or 4x slots with the back open (to accommodate a larger card). So I suppose all I need is 2 16x slots and an 8x slot. Worse than that, looks like one is 1x, one is 4x, and only one is actually 16x. What crap.

Yay! Someone on the board who is younger than me! (27 in august :p) I don't have any tattoos, but I specifically date women over 30 to avoid them and excessive piercings. I don't think *everyone* has them, but of all the stereotypes older people put younger people in, most of the interesting...

Yup. Still had it adjusted from the statues. With the camera set to Av mode, it isn't the most obvious thing. But at this point I would do just about anything for faster shutter speed; I assume underexposing will do that?

First tango-in-the-dark pictures are up. Still "family photos" in composition, but technically possible ;) Camera: Canon EOS 20D Exposure: 0.05 sec (1/20) Aperture: f/1.8 Focal Length: 50 mm ISO Speed: 1600 Exposure Bias: -1 EV

The statue I really want is about 15' tall and 8' wide, called the Gates of Hell. I must admit I'm happy to see that their pictures suck as well ;)

I round up to the nearest even hour ;), writing up my invoices takes about 10 minutes a week.
