Two word answer: Direct Sunlight

You could say that with basicly any company that doesn't produce anything that people actually NEED. There, fixed that for you.

This is awesome, however, in higher resolutions if used with larger icons/fonts, it's display is a little broken(cuts off choices due to padding I'm guessing). Works like a charm though! Thanks a lot!

I also have an Ergotron, but the one I received as a gift was a Neo-Flex(both clamp and thru desk style mount). At the time, I had an old Navy metal admin desk, built like a brick s-well you know. Anyway, during renovation of my house, someone set our old slider doors next to it outside, and it...

absolutely right, however, the govt. just turned into the creepy peeping tom you usually call the govt. to come and get rid of. Who watches the watchers? and moreover considering the methods...How the hell do these guys justify BEING scumbags in order to catch scumbags?

Why Kenworth my good man, I second your eloquently put virtual facepalm! The funny thing is, Netflix needs cash to leverage new content from competitors for streaming. So of course, the natural thing to do is cut that flow off and hope for the best, and settle for the same old thing...

oops nothing Edmonds, the link Oled gave you is last years discontinued model, not the one you are looking for, it's still not out yet though, but the buzz is good.

Sorry to hear that, it's not like it's a unique story though, 27 years at an IT company and upon retirement not even a watch, and now my dad gets to watch his pathetic 401k wither and remember my warning not to pick it over the pension he had built up. Either way....no, it's not "Go Apple"...

Lol, if HE was their moral compass, they are truly fucked.

Ok, this is out of hand, and I see no online publications calling them on this. As of today, it has been pushed back yet again. Now it says release date is 12/09, last week it was 12/06, week before that it was 12/05, some time before that(not sure now when), it was 11/28.....Corsair.....WTF...

Thank you, I'm sitting here thinking..."What's the point man?" Taking an 8 core, lopping 7 off, with 1/4th the amount of memory needed to run a decent modern OS, who cares if you got it to 1000MHz or whatever? I'd be embarrassed if I were AMD, it seems Bulldozer has found it's niche...and...

Also, make sure you have the latest and greatest mobo+controller drivers, latest vid drivers, etc. BF3 has some requirements older driver sets are ill equipped to handle even when the hardware can. I'd OC the chip as suggested if possible.

bahahaha, and I now assume because of this every for profit entity is squeaky clean, and innocent. you know....'cause only da gubmint is evil.

Naw man, then Canada would just be pissed at us for the influx of shit lawyers! :o

Lol, no this is what happens when you have a proprietary "open" platform, whose approach to it was driven by a bottom line that is clueless/unconcerned with things like, security, privacy, safe practice....you know....Google. Worse than that, is most providers don't take many steps if at all...

pm'd you on that CPU

Hi All, I'm planning to repurpose my current Cosmos for my new server case, and I'm just going to get a new case for my everyday rig. Based on my needs, I've narrowed it down to two choices. I thought I had picked...but then NewEgg threw a price reduction+MIR wrench into that decision...and...

You could use a couple heavy duty binding staples on either side of the cleats to keep them from separating, yet make it easy enough to remove them with some good pliers.

Amen, I was just thinking that this thing needs it's own insurance policy!

Because Moto is so good at hitting update targets for devices they release prematurely.

Oh god thank you, didn't want to be the one to point this out.... Overclocking, while challenging and fun, is a sport if anything, not an art form. Art usually leaves a lasting, measurably influential medium bedhind, and is usually appreciated by more folks than those involved in said "art...

Yeah that idea helped the budget a ton right? Last I heard CA was broke, but hey they paid for theater carpeting some new school I saw on TV, high school I think. That wasn't the worst part by far regarding that particular construction. Waste, corruption, no bid contracts, there are at least...

Whatever you do.....stay away from the Cliq MB200....yes the real keyboard is nice, yes it's cheap, but as I sit, I am now waiting to see if mine has decided yet again to lock up completely, forcing me to watch it drain the battery until spent so it will work again. Yup you read it right. This...

I don't know...this is sad, but after owning blur (late buyer on steam admittedly), I know of it's design and other problems, I still think it's a ridiculously fun game online. If any of you are curious, it's worth the cash, wife got it for me before this past Xmas and I play it abit every day...

I got tired of their "we play god" attitude about my/other people's money long ago, but I found a way to keep an honest working relationship with them. I kept my paypal, closed out the accounts linked to it, and now keep just enough on it ($ .92 atm) to keep it active. I use MoneyPaks to load...

While I'm not hooked to optical jacks, my ONT is 20 feet from me as I sit, and there is no way I can saturate coax in the home to the ONT, so optical jacks are pointless with FiOS, as I can already max my cap. To be clear, my FiOS optical fiber IS to the curb, shit it's attached to the house...

COX has the same problem here where I am, their main network is freaking impressive, but NOC to home is still aging coax and old routing, all hooked to DOCSIS 3 which can do so much more. It's a shame really, but hey, that doesn't stop the F.O. claims in their commercials or from their techs. lol

I figured that might be the case, but I also know onboard controllers can be flaky at times, and I know the cards I've been looking at have a good track record in 2k3, so I'm assuming that stability and speed should translate over to WHS. I've hit yet another setback so this will have to wait...

I wish I could...the mobo, cpu, ram are already owned. The 110 buck sata card is to remove the onboard ports from worry really. If the mobo dies, I'd rather have the pool on the card, and have flexibility in choosing a replacement mobo. I'm not sure about the ssd alignment issue, this is an...

Only on some phones...it took them forever and a day to get 2.1 on the Cliq, and it is still lame and needed tons of tweaking. The problem with Moto is, they have good designs, but they crank millions of them out, like they do cable boxes, and well, QA just ain't what it used to be.

D'oh, after testing, it looks like one of my ram sticks is a goner. Luckily I found some decent ram cheap today, and will probably grab that.

Giraffic Interchange Format? Yeah that sounds right. Let's go with that!

Unfortunately, I am re-purposing existing equipment to get this build started as I can't afford to do the whole thing from scratch right now. The board, and cpu are from my HTPC, which is getting a new board anyway. The mem was free as well, a pull from a workstation during upgrade to faster...

btw, MaxBurn,....your server is a sweet setup, unfortunately I have to fit mine when finished into a closet near my desk. It's a well vented space, so the server should be fine, but it should cut back on noise in the room. I'm fairly sure the wife will only allow one monster case in the room at...

I've already had DropBox save me twice, so I have to recommend that one. The other is another battery life helper, I dunno if it's listed, I skimmed, sue me. APNDroid, or it's widget- Let's you turn off the 2G/3G antenna for battery life. You may not notice but on my aging Cliq this has made a...

OMG I'm a moron, I just noted it's not mm, it's just m, as in one half meter of cable, disregard above ignorant post. I need more coffee I think.

Thanks for the heads up on Forward.... Are you saying the .6mm listed cables are 10cm longer than .5mm ones? I thought this might be conductor or insulator specs, so I was unsure.

Ok I found one of yours, just to be sure, I'm looking for a FORWARD breakout cable? This seems to be the determining factor on wiring pinout. Forward or Reverse. I believe these below should do the trick but I want to be sure. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816116098 Is...

nVidia aside (I don't have any right now)...I have both the 5770 and 5670, my wife has a 5750. I run the 5770 in my main rig with a i7 860, and it does all I want it to do @1080 60Hz. It runs L4D1-2, Crysis(with MW mod), blur, TF2, yadda, all very nice. The 5670 512mb variant is in my HTPC( I...

Which breakout cables did you get? Searching for them gets confusing fast if you aren't familiar with server hardware, I thought I found one, then read through the reviews and found it wasn't what I was looking for even though physically it looked like it. This was one of the main reasons I...
