its some motivation at least to not purposely (bait-and-switch, publicity) post prices you dont plan to honor, or to take more care in posting your prices since there's some accountability for it with this in place. but accidents do happen....if i was selling my house or something and left...

man....dusted off my gaming rig just to DL this and saw it was $20 again ahh well...DLing the demo...if its good i might just pony up the money anyway. i love tower defense games

yes, but people are being warned of stuttering issues, and it doesnt help to suggest its a non-issue if you "configure it properly", as if making use of modern OS features somehow puts others at fault for crappy controllers that cause stuttering. and RAID 0 kills the price advantage over a...

i think the point is having to disable modern OS performance features to circumvent stuttering problems with the drive because the controller cant handle the i/o is testament to the fact that these arent very good drives. i dont think he's refuting that fact that you have to tweak the crap...

even with the degradation those benchmarks still look great compared to regular HD's. plus it looks like TRIM will address alot of those issues, and Vertex supports it as well as firmware updates. plus...man...that vertex is one hell of a performer all around. that article just sold me on a 30GB...

holla! :D

well, even given that the site is poorly designed, if he's getting widely-fluctuating speeds its worth looking into. he also provided a link to a mostly static/basic page that also seems to be loading far slower than sites i have with 1and1. i dont think its out of the question that maybe his...

yah, have that selected. so i guess it must have something to do with speedstep/linux not adjusting the clock to increments finer than 1 anyone get this working with linux? with speedstep/frequency scaling enabled/disabled? double-checked the other night, btw, using the F11 BIOS. only thing...

WHOOPS: the mobo is a P35 DS3R, the IP35 Pro is in my other computer. lol...how embarassing..if a mod can change the title i'd appreciate it Hi, i recently noticed, in Ubuntu, that my q9300 will only go up to 2.33ghz. yes, speedstep is enabled, but the highest clock according to powertop is...

SWEET. im gonna rewire my entire home network with these babies and pair them all up with Killer NIC's

heh, wouldnt be surprised if a student was involved ;) but yah, expose an easy way to email someone from an account other than your own and it'll probably get abused eventually. don't necessarilly need something like a captcha right off the bat...some as simple as a database of...

google web toolkit converts java to ajax? that actually sounds pretty wicked... i agree, ajax turns into a mess so easilly. im sure experienced ajax coders will argue its cuz im a noob, which is fair, but the whole methodology lends itself to creating a mess of spaghetti code

i hope not, lol

and that's the tough part. which is why i think PowerPC is a more realistic route, if there's to be any attempt by AMD of retaining what they'd lose from the x86 market. tapping the PPC/Apple developer base was a weak point (but not an invalid one), really the words flashing in my head are IBM...

IBM's problems wouldnt be an issue. PowerPC is a great architecture/ISA that IBM happens to own licensing rights to. just like with x86/intel, they wouldnt have to be the ones producing the chips. AMD would do it all in house, and the fact that IBM isnt really on the bleeding edge as far as...

holy christ man. all im saying is that the developer base for PowerPC Apple products is still there, they didnt jump off a bridge as soon as they switched to x86. THUS, IF...and this is a BIG if, AMD came out with a PowerPC cpu that was so unbelievably badass that the niche markets...

well certainly it was a bit of wishful thinking. but afterwards i thought about it a little more and i think may be possible.... what if they licensed PowerPC? they gain the developer base involved with PowerPC Apple products and linux, they can make deals with IBM providing chips for the...

maybe after this AMD will pop out and go "booyah x86 killa right up in hrrrrr!!!" and it'll be the fastest cpu ever, so enticing that porting windows and other software from x86 is a given, finally moving us away from the x86 chains that are the bane of our existence, making all the drama a...

lol....i pulled it up at $88 and sat on my ass for 5 hours and now its gone

and here i am with a $35 amazon gift certificate that's been sitting on my desk for months... having already decided that the wd10eads was that only storage drive upgrade id settle for... morpheus might call it providence...

ahh, right, glad you mentioned that. i was planning on dealing with bundles that dont have a specified install order by setting all the seq_num's to be 0, in which case i'd violate my 1-package-per-machine constraint. So i did need the GROUP BY :) thanks again!

thanks heatlesssun! i tried you're query pretty much verbatim and it seems to do the trick: one question, is there any significance to the GROUP BY i left off? since there's only gonna be 1 package per machine i didnt really see where it would come into play

wow, awesome! so, just to confirm...a subselect can utilize row data from outside the subselect query? so its basically running the subselect for each row processed by the main select? good stuff....ill try this as soon as i get to work. thanks!

I have 2 tables roughly defined as follows (using mysql btw): table: bundles bundle_id INT machine_name VARCHAR state VARCHAR to help put it in context, a "bundle" is basically a list of software packages to be installed on the machine "machine_name" in a specific order. state is "new"...

guys....i cant stop playing this freaking game. i was dreaming about this game last night. its ridiculously fun

i downloaded th edemo and ended up playing it all day long. so i went ahead and bit...ill probably tire of it soon but $7.50 is worth it to able to slaughter a bunch of villagers when im bored.

at least for me id say 1680x1050 is just right for a 22" monitor. also a great res for games in terms of performance vs. quality

i also disable the other 3 cores. gives me 10% higher clocks, and better superpi times. nuff said.

with pushpins i always check the other side and twist the pin a bit to make sure its secured through the hole. no big deal. unless its a re-install and you dont wanna remove the mobo....then i guess you just kinda have to hope for the best. but i've never had any issue. the only major flaw...

i had almost the exact same problem with my q9300 http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1376262 bout a 13C delta. the delta narrows at high temps so i think unclewebb is right in sensors simply not being that accurate for idle temps. just make sure your peaks temps are in spec and you...

yup, its by far the most robust solution. and with my g1, for instance, i can leave the ssh session open in the background so i dont have to keep logging in (though setting up password-less login would be just as effective). virtually no limitation on what language i can use, and a quad-core...

ive come to a simikar conclusion....with core 2 coolers. i think they get a bad wrap because ppl dont turn the pins to the right position before pushing them in. removal£einstall is a breeze as well. thats not to say theyre the greatest coolers though...and dunno how i7 ones stack up. but...

i had similar ambitions as well.... i was thinking id pick up my g1 when i went outside for a break or something...ssh into my work box and maybe ponder some bugs and code a little... it's far too tedious.. maybe something like python would make it worthwhile...but i dont know any...

thanks guys. im not too worried, just doesnt give me much room to play around with as far as turning down my fans. but i might bring them down a notch anyway and do a nice long load test just to make sure everything stays in spec. my concern is that its winter right now so i also have to account...

According to coretemp my temps are: 60C 58C 47C 48C With realtemp they're about 5C lower on all cores. frequency scaling is enabled. stock speeds. now, i know this is generally hot for idle temps, but this system is sitting in a cabinet with poor air circulation....when i benchtested...

seems like you're looking to set up your own irc *network*, is that correct? (actually it doesnt really sound that way...but thats what it seems like since you were asking about running your own server) if so the heart of the matter is figuring out what ircd you need to use...

Captain Bringdown over here :p

id imagine you'd want a "pristine" DB setup for each run....otherwise if a previous unit test clobbered something you might leave it in an unpredictable state on subsequent runs causing additional failures even after the fix. in general, ideally, testing/builds should be done in a pristine...

i kinda want to write a bittorrent client for linux i know i know...its been done...many...many times... but i'd try to make use of existing libraries....the main thing im shooting for is a proper client/server setup where you can run a daemon in the background, and connect to it with...

xoom and...uhhh...this other one...i dont remember...it was more "business"-oriented
