V8 refers to the arrangement of the cylinders? I count 8 cylinders, in what suspiciously looks like a V formation in the video, complete with valves, pistons, and a crank shaft. V8 doesn't say anything about the motive force behind the pistons - whether it be exploding fossils, exploding...

Customers lie, cheat, and steal, and never, ever believe they're at fault. I work for an unnamed major ISP in Canada, and I've heard everything. "I'm in College, why would I have to read?", "I don't touch anything with electricity in it", and "I haven't touched anything" when the modem has...

I too work the internet help desk, and I think you'll find that the average customer doesn't even know how to spell DDOS, never mind grasp why their PSN doesn't work.

Or you can get a real Wacom-enabled PC like an Asus Vivotab Note 8 and a copy of Clip Studio Pro for less than a Shield tablet and Pen.

I have an owncloud server but I haven't actually used it for a while. The major issue was actually the client - cpu usage spiked quite high because they hadn't optimized indexing. I also had early problems with filename issues on the server, mainly due to a mashup of japanese filename...

And our corporation run society will start taking hits out on artists who've produced particularly successful works and try to withhold rights :P

Just completed my 2013 20 Mpixel workstation upgrade. (obligatory worklog link: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1750319 ) Main workstation: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/jBsvUh4BtL8x-pjRM-qZl9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=embedwebsite...

And finally - the completed workstation. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/F34lT0IOaKCEOrSezHCOhdMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=embedwebsite https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/s9b71Q0QEt0LC1uWYcxHPtMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=embedwebsite...

My Laptop desk - another Ikea unit. It floats around from room to room and side to side to give me extra work space and a spot for my laptop that isn't obscuring monitor space. Super cheap ikea furniture, assembled with wood glue to give better structural integrity...

Here's the computer guts running the Op, so you can make fun of my bad cable management. The before, with 2x5770 https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/nNsihiYeDsDszsf4-JKAhNMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=embedwebsite Out with the old...

Some bits and pieces before I show off the final result. The amplifier is tucked behind the monitor out of site, which makes it a bit hard to use the remote. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/xOxUwiNY9rJFH4oVcOSzQdMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=embedwebsite My temporary solution is a hard...

The monitors to the left of my desk are being mounted to an Ikea Vika Alex storage unit: http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/60192826/ https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/QNbPDD7gdgPSlp9_oL_suNMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=embedwebsite I reinforced the mount point for the dual...

Okay - one last push till the end. Right hand monitor mount, using the silver monitor arm that started on the left side of the TV. You can see where I moved it back and forth a few times before I was happy with the placement...

There are more monitors coming. I'm also going to be making things neater, but for the moment it's taken so long to get to this point that I just need the thing together and working. More photos coming, probably in a day or 2. Glad you guys like it ;)

I need to take some more pics before I can continue on the workstation, so here's the laptop charging station I did in the space vacated by the old desk. Made from the Stolmen system from Ikea. http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/categories/departments/bedroom/19087/...
