pdxlan.net its not just November, the February and July LANs are the 2 big ones. November is more for low key stuff and our annual food drive (37,000 pounds this year)

i was sitting a couple of tables back, I must say that this rig was a thing of beauty.

about 10 months ago this same thing happened to my PS3, firmware update, no longer boots after the second reboot. it was a sad day for me. oh well, replaced with a $75 Blu-ray player and getting my kids the Sonic games on the PC.

I totally swear by Lenovo laptops (for work and home). its great to see this happen.

ill be there, table 16

is the hypervisor running? after you enable it in the bios make sure to power cycle the machine. if it is not running it will give an RPC error when trying to connect remotely.

have you made sure that the user account being used to connect to the host is in the admin group?

going to need the version of Hyper-v Server and the OS that you are using to connect from.

no it will not work. booting with +2TB is past the limitations of MBR, it requires using GPT, and to boot a GPT partition requires a UEFI enabled system.

When i first got the Naga, I was shocked how small it was. I have rather large hands, but got used to it in about a day.

well its obvious that UEFI was used, Windows cannot boot from GPT in bios mode.

all of windows in one building? LAWL with the devs, testers, PMs,OPS team,test labs,productions labs.....nope wouldnt ever fit. would take a building the size of the world trade center. i worked in windows for 4 years and trust me when i say that it would never happen and would not work...

The thing that really pisses me off is that half of the people I see in the software test field dont know anything either. so the product turns out like crap, pisses the general public off and nobody who knows wtF they are doing will want to work at the dev firm. and thats the people who...

will i buy Win8? yup...but sure not at full retail or OEM prices. why? 2 reasons. 1: uber tech nerd who needs at least one copy of pretty much anything this big 2: many friends who work on windows team and even if it sucks i will support them.

and this is what makes the [H] so awesome, glad to see companys come and talk to us about the best way to get things done.

I have been seeing this same problem (I run the very same setup but with a GTX 570) I find that by setting the refresh rate to 59Hz that it fixes the overscan issue. however I havent tried the new driver yet and may not be able to try for a couple more days (work has me just drained the last...

no love for wingdings? come on guys.

funny issue with these. when waking from sleep, screen has major overscan. setting a new resolution and just hitting cancel fixes it. GTX460 1GB, Samsung 23" 1920x1080.

"a Battlefield 3 fix is included to combat the random appearance of triangular artifacts" this was a major issue for me while playing on 64 player servers. anything less than 45 players and I never saw it.

I am freaking in love with this game. I picked it up a few weeks ago on the way down to PDXLAN, and now I just cant stop. few gripes but nothing other people havent beaten to death already and one issue that NV fixed in their beta drivers today. also my wife seems to be pissed off at...

and now i see the key differance in them, VMWare will let a VM allocate more memory than the host has, hyper-v will not. also they took a different route with compression. MS is still playing catch up in that way it seems. Thanks Junkie.

sorry but that is no longer true, as of the release of SP1 it now has full memory overcommit support.

I would like to know more about this. aside from the linux support this is the first real advantage that anyone has mentioned. remember eveyone I only wanted to compare the free versions. but it sounds like this weekend is going to be busy for me with trying out some ESXi.

Scvmm is certainly not free, the Hyper-V manager tools in the RSAT package are very basic but work great and it can be used with scvmm if you wanted to. Can the free ESXi be used with the VMware solution?

I am very aware of the things hyper-v brings to the table, and aside from Linux support (which is rather poor but improving in hyper-v) I really do not see the advantage. with the addition of RemoteFX and memory over allocation in SP1 I feel they are finally in the same league.

check out Hyper-V Server R2, totaly free.

I rather like that answer, but does this outway being able to do much more before having to pay for it?

Hello everyone, I am wondering, why someone would use ESXi free over Hyper-v Server R2? from what I've read of the spec's hyper-v seems to be worlds ahead of ESXi in terms of pCPU (socket and core totals), memory and also RemoteFX support. and from my experence hardware support has been...

we will need your machine Spec's now. go update your BIOS, there may be a bug that will not allow a hard drive above 750GB.

in my main machine i run a 3 drive raid 0 with old 74GB raptors. while the I/O is worlds better than the 1TB seagate drive that i use for storage, the transfer speeds are only about 30MB/sec faster in reads and 40MB/sec faster in writes. simply saying that while the old raptors used to be...

thanks for the info. no current patch that i know of, but it is something i will ask about in SP1. there are alot of hyper-v and server OS fixes in SP1.

what type of hardware are you seeing this on? I under stand which NIC's but is the server an HP or a Dell? (or other). I have seen this same thing on 3 of my larger VM hosts but always only on the HP's.

down at the renton Fry's (where this happened at) the place is full of Asian hotties.....and people who should not work in public....ever...for any reason.

Main gripes with it so far are.. 1: No progress bar when loading webpages. I know it has the spinning wheel, but that does little good for what we need to watch at work. 2: You no longer have a favorites bar. I realize very few use this, but I use it for my daughter so she can find her web...

sometimes i wish we did, we sort of hacked up another way to make perfect backup's

we are using SCCM for managing and updating about 900 infra and dev servers. http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/en/us/configuration-manager.aspx works great.

my fault for not understanding your request on this one. i use failover quite a bit. but guess its not for you. :-)

for starters clustering is only supported in server enterprise and up, so no standard. second this is an easy to understand msdn post about getting it all setup http://blogs.msdn.com/b/clustering/archive/2008/01/18/7151154.aspx oh ya, have fun with this.

i have had this problem several times over the last couple years, always a firmware issue with the burner and only with SATA burners. last time it happened was here at home and i ended up having to switch back to a PATA burner as there was no firmware update for my sata one.
