What an amazing job! So glad you have finished and can enjoy your work. The amount of quality in what you did is absolutely crushing.

IANAL, but I agree with AaronP that it is basically extortion. The case law on this topic is very open to either side, and it is a long-known tactic that representatives for large copyright owners are trying to staunch the pirate "losses" by lawsuits that take advantage of easy, small, likely...

It's a great anti-mugging outfit for blind people? :confused: Besides ravewear, it's a wearable lawsuit. :p

I think about 5 years ago I took my box of old 3.5" media and copied anything of any value to a tiny corner of my HD. I then disassembled them--crack, pry, pull, pop the metal hub--and put the magnetic donuts through the shredder. I still keep the drive, a part of an 8-in-1, attached to the...

Pure speculation, but I'd guess one of the suspects owns a copy of this book: http://www.ibmandtheholocaust.com/. I can't think of any other reason someone would bother with IBM.

Slick tech. Good point of sale interface. Not going to happen, or if it does it'll die a quick death. A wireless connection to the net and my favorite text vendor is what I'd use and a node is way cheaper to deploy than this. Sigh. It's a good idea, but as soon as they digitize the magazines...

I would have like to seen the ad level when dialed to an "expense" level instead of free or to a "pay you" level to see how distopian the creator's view. Probably trying to demonstrate a pretty bad view of technological dependence and loss of basic skills judging from the clues given...

Better odds now with a valid email address... :rolleyes:

pick me!:cool:

one more time lucky 7!

me!

Me! :D

week 3 in

Short term: Get a non-green badge. Continue to have a nice method to test my new air-cooling configs. Long term: Get on page 2 of long term folders! I'm going to move up to page four of active [H] folders today, yay! You go Hemigod! I see you burning past me as I type. I think...

me.

I'm in.

Oops: $0.13/PB. I can't even think that cheap.

Behold, the exabyte drive! A billion GB of unstoppable storage! Muhahahah! ;) I was mildly curious to see if something would happen at 9 or 18 EB evilsofa, but I don't want to wait another 3 or 6 days before I reboot, so I'm done. I'm still refreshing Win7 drivers and need the reboot...

It's taking 6.5% of my 100MB WAN to do this "count' but it makes me smile every time I look over, so it's well worth it. I think I'll let it get to an exabyte or so. (And I'm sorry but the [H] forums of all places should not flag "exabyte" as a spelling error in the editor.) :p

Running Windows 7 x64 Home Premium full purchased upgrade (clean install) and attaching to NAS. :eek: It's still counting. I'm up to 52.5 PB at the moment. I just had to rename the folder to 'Internet" for effect. I'm not looking for help, I just thought it was funny. :D

I agree, but I rank it higher, not because of the raw power improvement, but on how I look at my system. I switch red/green too and currently run an 8800GTX. But as soon as I started to read the reviews I rethought my next monitor purchase (ASUS 25.5" coming soon) and I'm not even thinking...

Pick me, RNG!

It's amazingly good and amazingly awful. The Tech behind it is really cool, and it's clear to see where they are going with it. But now I foresee a day that I have to look at an interactive map and try and guess at what I'm seeing. "Ok, that's a live (is it?) video of people on an old (how...

If that's the case, then I'm deeply impressed. Post-sale no-defect free upgrades are a really great service and way to generate a multi-year brand loyalty. Even though I don't have any BFG power supplies to upgrade now, this'll stay in mind for quite a while. Guess I've seen too many IT spin...

I hate to be cynical, but why are they doing this? Did they take a bad shipment of caps and don't want the bad PR of a recall or a slow cascade of warranty replacements?

My first reaction after it being ugly was that it looked shrinkwrapped. The lines of it are terrible from my POV. Even a small effort of surrounding it with a thin black/red-lighted wireframe that an equivalent tower would take-up in volume would help. Or a smoked window or two would be nice...

I concur with Zak, physics should be run on CPU and GPU simultaneously, balancing out my system to maximum usefulness, but I know that is not an easy thing to ask. This will be more useful when the CPU/GPU line blurs even more over the next few years. Current games are gaining more of a...

I reseated the Zalman and hard set the voltage core to 1.3v and the multiplier to 16X, everything else stock. Same temp readings. I started questioning the temps that start 50C CPU and 38C MB via ASUS diags and the instantly spike to 68C. I put my hands on the fins a few mm from the CPU heat...

Don't have a lot of time this evening, so I chose the lazy OC route and chose the "8% OC" setting right from the BIOS. X4 PII 640 Deneb: WPrime @3240.1 MHz: 32M took 11.765 sec. Not bad at all. I cranked it back to stock speed though. Quake 4 was rock stable with an 8% overclock but I was...

Posting from my 940 X4 PII BE! :) Really easy upgrade, just pulled the 5200+ X2 and dropped the 940 in and booted. First boot left me stuck on a black screen prior to the POST. Hit the reset button, POSTed fine with correct CPU identified and got into Vista. Vista noticed the new CPU and...

FYI, ASUS put out the 2205 BIOS for M2N32-SLI Deluxe on March 13, 2009. It worked well for me for five days for a 5200+ X2 Windsor on stock speed. It's been reported to recognize the Phenom II X4 940 by name. I'm dropping in a 940 Black Edition tonight. I'll post results. Unplugging and...

It's a set-up for the next announcement, whatever it is. Old companies have a long history of talking to colleges and create tailored classes to improve skills when they need thousands of people to fill the roles in an industry. Heck even without doing that, there are hundreds of thousands...

We do have to wait for a developer to add the PPU as an engine option to speed-up a game somewhat. But we don't have to wait for those developers to require a PPU as a minimum to play their game. I figure they'll soon recognize PPUs and use them (inefficiently at first) for better first-person...

If these new physics cards are going to gain traction quickly enough to survive against Red and Green, they need forget the chicken and egg problem with physics card market penetration versus developer dependency. They need to go after the modding community with a contest. All the physics card...

7-year visitor here. I initially thought the new site was too busy, but I spent a few minutes looking at the existing site and then the new one. My mind got used to it and then I saw the new site as fine and the existing site as ancient. The changes are good. Very nice work. For the next...

I'm a Sr. Systems Analyst for a Fortune 100 company. Requiring floppies in this century is very constraining. Alternate distribution methods for drivers are needed today.

Please strike. The economics might improve that it'll be longer until the industry chooses a higher average price for new games.
