I'll have to admit, the town I live in presently, has been good about super stores. Walmart and Home Depot wanted to muscle their way in, the city council unaninmously said NO. We have plenty of small shops that already take care of everything we need in triplicate, we don't need a superstore...

Blake, you knew to much. Why would you sell stuff that you know isn't good? They're afraid of having that type of a sales person.

Wow! So, I'll be able to buy sod for the yard, baby wipes for the baby's behind, dress slacks for nights out, and a notebook for my business all at the same store for the very low Arkansas price of dirt, due to under paid employees and slave labor.

Don't make fun of my accent! :)

I'm not sure how SQL will work with dual NICs, but as far as the Server OSes and hardware goes, that is a nice idea. Anandtech does something similar to balance their loads for their forum, database, and web applications (although they use more machines).

That would be the old man.

It sure seems that our furry friend and her owner are a cooee from home, has anybody called the Ballarat shop? Maybe Tannin and Tea were over powered by a bunyip or a bushranger on their expedition?

Ha! Forget the electricity. What will happen if some hapless deer strides in front of that high-speed monster? Can birds get out of the way quick enough when that deadly magnet arrives? Would you really want to be in the nose, looking out of the front windshield, at that high of a speed...

I'll second NOD32 (as I have elsewhere in this forum).

Yum, Harps and venison.

Cuppa tea please.

Sorry, I never viewed you as a love object.

Nice systems LiamC and i. With the right mix of parts, any system can last quite a while. My Primary Domain Controller is a dual PIII667EB Slot 1 system with 256MB of RAM running Windows NT 4.0. It handles all of my tasks flawlessly, so no need in making any changes to it. It has been...

I agree Coug. We should elect Mercutio to write this article with the aid of any other members if they so choose, and let's get this thing completed.

Then lets design servers at three different price levels.

CAT5 comes in the walls; every room has one RJ-45 connector. Besides, the house is already done.

Wow, that KLH DVD player seems real decent. For someone like me who would use it for playing purchased DVDs, CDs, and CDRs, the price is good.

Thanks for the update, and I appreciate people posting valuable tools and applications in this section.

Here is a weather update for the area in which I live at the moment. 7:00 am - low-mid 40s - cloudy; car covered with dew 11:00 am - 60 - partly cloudy Very comfortable in my opinion. ____________ As for the in wall speakers, thank you for the input. I still have not made up my mind. They...

8/10 - I selected serial killer for two programmers.

Come to California, we give everyone a license to drive, especially if you are illegal in this country.

Once you know how zx . . . er . . . make that if you remember, it's pretty easy.

Double-Mint gum.

Why would I want to burn my butt with a solar panel?

Have you tested both drives?

With the advent of solar powered electricty in neighborhoods and commercial areas, it would be necessary that all panels become anti-reflective. The reflection from those surfaces are blinding, which is not only annoying if it shines into your house from the neighbors roof, but also if the...

My previous neighbor had an LPG vehicle. Nice little thing, but fill up stations are far away in my area. As matter of fact, none of them are within my normal commute range. I rarely even go up to where those stations exist. Plus, there is only two of them, and the range of those LPG...

Do you install the RAID card drivers during the Windows 2000 installation, or does it find the drives on its own?

You don't need to really recharge from a distance. If you have designated parking spaces for electric vehicles, when the car is parked, it wirelessly communicates with the recharging system at the parking spot. The recharging system has a probe that comes up from the ground, and connects to...

So, a good portion of US drivers switch to electricty because technology has advanced far enough for reasonable commutes. Who is going to produce all of the electricity we need? Fossil fuel consuming power plants? Now, if we could set up solar cells on our homes, and use the stored capacity...

Here is a snippit from the Under-the Brim Red Hat newsletter I received today: Here is the link they include.

That would be my recommendation.

An A/V server sounds good to me. It would be beneficial to many home users and A/V enthusiasts.

Indeed Coug, and if those endusers can't operate the software as you described, I won't be able to sell them on using it. Alas, Windows is still the OS of choice for most people.

Okay, so we've heard arguments for less memory and a slower CPU. We've briefly discussed higher-priced components and some end-user priced items. But we still have not decided what we are going to build, who it is for and why it would be needed.

I agree.

Oh yeah, other peripherals aren't necessary, as this would be a remotely operated machine if used as a true server, in my opinion. Anything handy around the shop can be used during installation.

Shouldn't this be a Terabyte storage server? Six Samsung SP1614C gets us 960GB of gross storage. Make a RAID 5 array and you just dropped to 800GB. Although not at the top of my list for drives, the WD2000JD would make more sense from a space-usage point of view. Plus, wouldn't we want a...

Low hanging water vapor occurs not only because of temp and humidity levels, but also because of air pollution (gives the water vapor something to condense on). The air is not that bad, it is actually pretty good (smog wise, but we do get particulates from the ocean, such as salt), but that fog...

Not very far, just in a different micro climate. Both places are the same distance from the ocean. San Juan Capistrano is more protected from the ocean side of things, but opens up to a small (4,000-feet) mountain range to the north east, which is where the cold air comes down from in the winter.

Has anyone tried or heard about the TEAC 4xDVDRW+- DV-W50DP012?

<covers ears and yells> Don't listen to Bozo!</> :D

We can always get: Addtronics W8500 ATX Case 5.25” bays: 5 exposed 3.5” bays: 1 exposed 5 hidden Room for several 80mm and 92mm fans. $259.00 from Addtronics. I would recommend redundant power supplies, RAID 5, and SATA if possible, if not for airflow, then at least for future flexibility...

For a server system, an ATI 7000 card would be just fine. You can pull that once the Linux OS is setup and you VNC to the machine. Also, where is the tape backup system? Did they plan on relying on their DVD writer for backups?

Need a garage? I need room for a car and for my shop. Around here, the amount of fog we get makes your car filthy in about two days -- I hate washing my car. Snow? Yes, I have seen snow and have driven in snow, in California. Where I live now, our usual mid-winter temps are in the low...

I know, it is small. The measurements are: 36"W x 24"D x 96"T. It will house my television, VHS player and component stereo system. Plus all of my tapes, and CDs will get packed in there, along with anything else that will fit (no I don't own any DVDs at this time, nor do I have a DVD player...

Speaker stands, or even narrow but tall speakers would still be awkward to have around. Here is a layout of the condo. Notice on the first floor, the fireplace and media center? The media center will have all of the audio and video stuff in it, except for the speakers. There really isn’t...
