i'm in the same boat. I've got an ancient(huge) vector research unit that my dad used decades ago connected to the very decent infinity primus 150 bookshelves and a dayton 12" sub. I've owned promedias and a couple other dedicated mm setups, no way I could ever go back. i'm trying to downsize...

120c (if you mean C, and not F) isn't just high, thats near fatal for a cpu and I wouldn't be suprised if it was hitting a thermal cutoff before it even booted.

x1 is what 256 MB/s? I guess thats reasonable since my max read is close to half of that. I guess theres no reason to break up the array, might as well leave it since even on a single drive the performance would be about the same. Time to buy some new hardware...

Picked up a couple of 1tb blacks (1002faex) for my birthday, and threw them on a little sata expander I had laying around. created the raid 1 array, clonezilled my boot drive over...and was disappointed. on the left is a benchmark for a different 1tb black drive, and on the right is my...

personally I'm waiting for the steam version. no cds to worry about, plus I'm really really sick of their crappy server browsers and having to dictate ip addresses over vent to my friends.

better question : why haven't you been doing these things already? gestures and shortcuts are part of what make opera great.

opera has that...

reppin the opera crew in style. I'll take my setup over chrome or ff any day... (I love the no-windowbar look) not exactly the same but it ends up doing 90% of the same stuff anyway, without the nag screens on youtube, etc. that plus opera's built in content blocker acheives the same...

haha... the only problem I've ever had with opera was my school's webpage blocking it because it wasn't firefox. a simple "mask as firefox" fixed that. My opera install is slicker, faster, and has a much better mouse gesture implementation than firefox (installing half a dozen plugins to...

in on this, building a htpc for a friend. 150$ plus another 100$ for a sonata with a 500w psu? 250$ for a solid pc just can't be beat. 350$ with a vid card and its a decent gamer, too. get it while its hot, folks.

for 200 gigs, sheesh, just set up a synctoy operation to a couple of cheap externals daily/hourly/whatever. I've also used flexraid to mirror data to other drives before, and that has the added benefit of parity. as it stands now, I take a parity snapshot nightly with email confirmation, and...

its true that AC could have used a bit of splinter cell funk to it and a better combat system, but I still have a hell of a time running around on rooftops. I like replaying scenarios until I can get a perfect cinematic combo of kills :) I'll play it for that cinematic alone, wow.

These ingredients are used all the time in modern recipes, just fyi. its the actual process that has changed over time. people have been using honey and fruit to make beer for milennia, the only difference is that they didn't know what sanitation was back then. also, I suspect that they're...

"if there's one thing I know, its how to drive when I'm stoned. its like you know your perspective is fucked, so you just let your hands work the controls" brilliant. that entire video is awesome.
