2 miles from my house.... I remember reading on 4Chan (i know i know) a thread about the default PW's that everyone uses for these things. Supposedly it's usually like the model number of the device or something, or written in sharpie under the KBD. A little disappointed there was no "All...

Yup, I bought em myself. Might be even able to dig up a pic from a few yrs back of the pallets arriving.... Dually Quad 2.8's...can't remember the family of procs, but it was the first summer when they went to Quads. Dually Quad 2.8's with 6 GB RAM (f'ing FB-DIMM's). Bought 2 years ago. BTW...

It's funny....the machines are in the basement of the college, and it's 28 degrees out. 90 year old building crap-ass insulation....I actually cut the AC, prop the doors open with a trash can, and the 2 labs heat the entire hallway and staircase as well. So it's providing heat where the...

realllllllly....yeah MPIEXEC sucked... Have a lab full of core2Quad 2.8's (16) as well with 4GB RAM and discrete viddy I could add, if the client is better. Also have 8 i5 HP Z200 workstations in our library....

I'm the IT Director. I received permission from -me-....

But not the LOIC ones. School's out, time to config a couple Mac Pro labs again. 5 Dually quads online, 25 more to go. Maybe a couple quadcore Winpc's if I can config the SMP client to not suck as much. We've got a month of heavy artillery, starting now.

I'm in urban Wilmington, DE, and have the 2.5g iPhone. In this city, Edge is frakkin ridiculous. During the day it takes 30 secs to just pull down a 4k text email. Voicemails take 10-30 mins to transmit to the phone. Go out to the burbs, and it's fine. The people on 3G are just as bad, unless...

Happy Birthday! Thanks for all the years of effort, integrity, and wit that you have put into all that is [H]. You always have a beer waitin' in Delaware.

I hear that Valhallaprime guy hit 4 million last week. Where's the love, I'm doin' some heavy lifting.

I tell ya, I'm climbin' like a flaming Ewok. None of you in the top 10 better have your names engraved on those corner office doors.

It should ramp up a bit more. I forgot I had an elbow replacement before travelling through the gate. My left elbow is now folding. Partially. I still need it to function normally.

I'm from the Future.

I'm your Huckleberry.

In the future neither are used. In fact, carts are not used. In April 2017, Jenna Bush's company, "GlobalAwesome", patents and markets an external girdle worn around the shopper. There are many pockets of various sizes and shapes, where items are placed while shopping. The pockets are...

Ask me any question about the future and I'll answer it as best I can. Try me.

I think the world would explode into grape jelly.

Three. I'm from the future. Brought a couple boxxen with me through the Portal.

Brought a few more guns online tonite after work. Lets see what they can do.

I can rachet up more in the building to get second in PPD, but I don't think this whole building has enough computational balls to reach yours, ROC. My two mac labs are the 3 of my 4 "Draw Four" cards in my hand right now.

I'm coming to get you guys. Been idle for a year or so....just decided it's cold enough in the labs that I can heat them up a bit over winter break. 45 Mac Pro's dually duals and Dually-quads online as of last friday. Their last 60 hrs of performance was pretty impressive.

Dude totally misspelled "PANZIE"

I just ordered a Q6600 retail box from NewEgg last week, shipped from Edison NJ midweek. It's a G0 step. Running like buddah at 3.0 right now. In a room with 65 degree ambient, it's idling (while just surfing) at 23,24,24,25. crazy.

I'm about to get one, as my 939 X2 on AGP board is realllllly tired. Had a twin 2.0 ghz running for about 2 years at 2.7, and she's just gotten hardware-flakey. My thoughts of best procs ever....in order of relevance or when I owned them.... Celery 300A on that crazy BP6 board. Guy at...

Wow, you still don't get it. Man, I can't get any simpler of an analogy going here. This isn't about a "culture", this is about using the right tool for a job that pays very well. Again, hobbyist vs. professional. When someone says: "I need post-production edit work in Final Cut Pro, and I'll...

Nope. The professionals already have their market established. If you're good at what you do, then yes, money grows on trees. If you're a hobbyist, then money grows on other people's trees, and you watch them grow from across the street ---- there is no better analogy than this. You have your...

Ahhhh I missed this one. No, silly, my comeback is...yes it's 2.5x more expensive, and yet, I'm paying that off in less than 3 days of billable time, with productivity and billable business. I'm not arguing, I'm just assuming that I'm proficient and exacting in the tools I pick for my jobs. Can...

I never "got" that FoMoCo vs. Honda reply either....was this supposed to imply that FoMoCo has a much smaller product base and market cap than Honda? If so, that's a bad analogy if you're going on just their website. Grab a FoMoCo annual report and look at Ford's holdings, and not just assume...

Wrong, unless you're configging it right from the factory. Who, in all these forums on HardOCP, configs their boxes right from the factory? Seriously. 4 GB (2x2) FB-DIMM kit for Mac Pro = $150 4 GB (2x2) FB-DIMM kit for Mac Pro = $150 (actually gives me 10 Gigs total, with the RAM from...

Try $3300. And it also makes me $200/hr for video editing. I have a dual-core athlon64. It plays games nice.

Exactly....some people seriously need to do their research before blanket statements about how much Apple spends on. Worldwide numbers, including salaries of s&m staff, and all creative budgets. Source is their SEC filings. Apple: Sales & Marketing: $2,963M Microsoft: Sales & Marketing...

Yeah, well I'm a MacPro, with Dually Quad Xeon 2.8's, 8 gigs of server-class RAM, and Quad-1Terabyte sata2 drives. I handbrake a 2 hour move to h264 for a 480p set-top box in under 16 minutes, with 2-pass and 5.1 audio encoded. I also edit hi-def video using Final Cut Studio, which is then...

Been laying low for about a year, had to rally energy costs down on my labs.... Unless anyone has objections, I guess I'll bring my twin-16 computer labs back online for their afterhours folding. 32 Dually Quad Mac Pro 2.8 ghz? 6 gigs of RAM? Slut-tastic. BOW DOWN! -V_P

Count me in. We Are Legion.

"Typical lightning bolts produce frequencies between 10Hz and 5GHz" So, basically through most of the entire produceable frequency spectrum. Just say that. That's like saying this new wristwatch is gonna cost somewhere between $10 and $5,000,000,000. Yeah, I know you can produce much...

This is awesome, Kyle.....I first was introduced to the [H] about 6 and a half years ago - and it was specifically because of the Stuart writings. I remember exactly how it happened too. Somehow, I found the old Biznizzy site (remember that guy?) online like seven years ago looking for...

We Are Legion.

we hopped in last night for about 20 mins....ping was good but the server hitching was hella bad. almost like the proc was pegged or something. low latencies, but everyone was jumping around from time to time. and no, it wasn't my connection or boxen.

Me and my cronies will come play Vanilla City maps..... OMGWTF Valhallaprime OMGWTF gpizzle OMGAMD themulf Maybe some Karkand, mixed with a healthy dose of Sharqi and Mash Potato City. Wake can be cool, as long as the teams are decently balanced....It has a tendency to bring out an...
