I think the "no more used games" isn't as big of a deal(still a big one, see below). What is a big deal is no more rentals, which will kill a lot of games because a lot of games are under the category "rent" instead of "buy". I am sure a lot of people will buy less because of this as well...

the related article on servethehome about x8si6 board suggest that he needed to flash LSI firmware for it to work with HP expander, what is that all about? Does this board not work out of the box with any form of expander? if that's the case, I think the other boards might be better and with...

Are you also referring to the client computer that interacting with the server? So if I were to transfer some data from a desktop to the server, I would image the bottleneck here is the read speed on the desktop system?

Just wondering, for real world home server usage, what is the difference between sas and sas2, that is 3gb vs 6gb? will you actually see the difference with software raid 6 on regular sata drives? basically, would sas be the bottle neck here?

I am about to buy an 11" air for similar purpose. One of my reasons to consider this was the screen resolution which is better than most netbooks out there(I might be wrong). just putting it out there, maybe this could influence your purchase decision as well.

Finally after the help of Danny Bui and Nitrobass24, I finalized the server build except for a raid card. Doing my research on raid cards, it got me thinking about software raid. I don't have any sw raid experiences but from what I have been reading, it seems to be a good idea. I used to think...

About that trailer, I don't have the air yet, I was trying it out at the apple store. I asked because I didn't know which one I should buy, going to buy one soon. Did you guys specifically set that trailer to 1080p hd mode? the link is default to the lowest resolution, you need to specifically...

Can someone with "Ultimate 11" try this 1080p trailer from you tube and tell me if it lags? I know in fact the 1.4gz model plays like a slide show(really crappy slide show at that), how is the 1.6gz? Remember to change mode to 1080p HD from the video.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i2RCBa3l-g I...

It seems that nitrobass24's setup are more flexible if I ever wanted to do raid. This is great guys. So if I go with nitrobass24's recommendation, I read in the post you linked to, the board you recommended can support "dual link" so I would connect 2 cables from the board to the expander? Which...

How robust is the on board raid, i much rather use a dedicated raid card, the one danny mentioned isn't too expensive, only 100 dollars, I guess I can live with that. That is assuming I will use the hp sas expander, which is 400 dollars, it's actually more expensive than the raid cards x 3...

Danny, thank you so much for the detailed reply, this is really helpful. EDIT: The norco case uses Six internal SFF-8087 Mini SAS connectors. How do I connect that with the raid sata controller card you recommended? I guess I don't need the break out cables, instead I just buy 4 SFF-8087 Mini...

After a lot of research, I am leaning toward building a WHS. Here are the main parts I am unsure of. Lots of server builds you find on google is fairly cheap, old parts, but I am thinking I want to have at least 10 to 15 drives; after researching, here is the deal: I saw a post that someone...

If I understand correctly, you are suggesting that I do a raid 1 for system drive, and raid 5 for data drives. Both using hardware raid cards. What raid cards are you using for this implementation? 2 arrays within 1 card? edit: I am just thinking, it might be a better more flexible way to do...

Hi, I am new at this, I am planning on building my first self-built NAS. I have always thought a good way to build a nas was with a raid card that supports raid 5 in case of a drive failure, then couple it with maybe Freenas or Openfiler OS. However, during my research, I found that so many...

The one I have is the 5 port proSafe series. The switch is the only possible problem. Wires are fine, the reason why I know it's the switch is because when I get disconnected, everything connected to the switch is disconnected, however the network is still fine from devices not connected to the...

Hi, I have been using this gs105 switch from netgear, which is fine usually but turns out to be a piece of junk when I play my ps3 online. I get disconnect once every so often. it doesn't happen all that often, but enough to make me getting a new switch and never buy another netgear consumer...

You are right, when I said fan boy, it was because I couldn't think of a proper term, I didn't really mean fan boy in the way people usually use, I apologies for that. I do understand, and as I have mentioned, why Sony did what they did. If I was some big shot in Sony, I would have probably...

What is with people trying to come up with analogies that just don't even match the criteria. Your lock exploit car analogy is so different it isn't even analogous to what sony is actually doing. First of all, security issue in your analogy is different from that of sony's case. End user...

yea, I added a dnsmasq in my router to basically resolve *.ps3.update.playstation.net to my dedicated server ip where I host the ps3-updatelist.txt file, real simple. I know a lot of people simply changed the dns address on their ps3 to the a private one that someone provided, but it seems...

This is NOT true, I did not update, but I am online, you can bypass firmware check(the good way) if you know the how to. Took me maybe 15 minutes to set that up on my server. You can even use a virtual machine, but then you will need to have that computer turned on every time you wanna play...

Did not update, but I am online, it's easy to bypass firmware check if you have some time. If you are using dd-wrt firmware on your router, it's easy to add dnsmasq to point to the firmware check address to resolve to your own server, where you can upload the old firmware check. Assuming your...

In anticipation for GoW3, I wanted to brush up on the story before I play, but I don't really have the time to play through 1 and 2 all over again. In searching for the story, I came across this youtuber who uploaded the story for 1 and 2. It does not have 100% of everything, this is basically...

Hi, what would you suggest of the 3 lcd arm to get? http://www.ergotron.com/tabid/65/prdid/299/default.aspx http://www.lcdarms.com/products/LCD_Radial_Arms/7Flex.html http://www.lcdarms.com/products/LCD_Radial_Arms/7500.html they can all be gotten MUCH cheaper than what they asked for...

Hi, I have been having this problems for 2+ years, never really found a good solution for it, It might be something really simple, so I am asking here. Ever since I started using bigger monitors, I found that I must have the monitor turned on first before I start my computer, or it will...

get 2 * 2209wa. you will need 2 screens if you are serious about web dev. 1 is simply not productive. a typical day will be like this: photoshop is opened for the design source files (your choice of) code editor maybe an additional text editor ftp/ssh client ie tester firefox safari you will...

i think the only thing that concerns me is the "500GB" ask why he needs that much space? That is unheard of for web dev, GUI/headless has nothing to do with root access, if he needs root he will need root for command line as well. better ask why he thinks he needs 500GB. Since it's VM I think...

i don't know which one has priority gief super/ultra or DP, but from this video EX tiger knee gets grabbed though from behind but if gief super/ultra has priority over DP/knee it shouldn't matter if it's from behind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB6YDVFM7bo#t=2m24s I don't "study" SF4 so...

How many of you have gotten the "perfectionist" title from winning 30 online matches via perfect? I think this is prob the hardest to earn if you do it for real. How long did it take you? Did you get a friend to help you with this? I am considering asking for someone to help me on this, I am on...

I had 10 min and thought I played around with this, wasn't going to post it but then thought instead of throwing it away you might want it.

Hi,nice looking site. However in your "gallery" you have in your footer for valid xhtml, but the pages aren't valid, you might want to check it out. I think it would be nice to sort the guest book in descending order.

can someone pm me an invite code, I have been trying codes provided by many but always a step too late. Thank you

MVC does have a steep learning curve, but once you know it, they are pretty much the same across frameworks. For example, cakephp is much more MVC than codeigniter, if you know how to use cakephp, you will be able to pick up codeigniter in hours if not less. It's then more about learning the...

I never said saving time makes it a better solution. The op was asking about MCV and how come he is writing 2 to 3 times MORE code, which I then explained why he is doing it wrong by providing an example that it is actually much much less code to write. and point him to read more on the MCV...

if you are writing 2 to 3 times more code in MCV then you are prob not doing the correct way. MCV will modularize everything and a good framework will have components libraries for you to do everyday stuff. Model is like your data class, a simple model will only have 5 loc, and is backed by...

it might be too late for your assignment, but from what I see, you are not assigning tax value, you are using the comparison in your tax assigning, which is wrong. tax = calculated value; not, tax == the rest you should follow the above posters, for parseInt that didn't do anything, and...

I think the main point was, only see products, not companies. It seems logically, but sadly it isn't the case. Many people posts problem with certain products, you can be sure to see the OP flamed because how dare he talk about a product made by my favorite company, even though I own no stock...

A lot of talk on win7 and vista. After seeing a poll on 7 and vista, I decided to express my opinion, nothing more, but just too much time on my hands this afternoon. The poll kind of reminded me of what I saw a few years back when I was doing some bartending. This is what they do when a club...

Having many version is not good nor bad for people who pay for the stuff, they can research and see what fit them best and not over spend, but you will over spend if you always buy the top of the line since then the cost is not offset by basic users that would otherwise in a single version...

Am I the only one to think this doesn't make any sense? VM has snapshots that can be configured to always revert back when turned off/reboot, what is the point of deep freeze? If your deep freeze is unlimited free trial torrent edition, might as well use it i guess. I use virtual lamp for...

I have the exact same tv as you, you don't need to set it to pc input, there is an option under menu/picture/picture options, to select "just scan". This TV can do 1:1 mapping no problem. Or simply on the remote at the bottom, you can press the P.size button til you see just scan. The PC mode...
