    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    Purchased mine from Amazon. It comes with a short HDMI cable, maybe 10 inches. I use this first to the Pulse-Eight device, then a 1FT hdmi to my computer. I had it the other way around at first, and I was getting screen cut-outs. Swapped my cables around it it has been running stable...

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    Seriously? Ah - No It only add's CEC signals to the correct hdmi pins, the rest of the pins are pass-through.

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    I have successfully setup my Pulse-Eight CEC adapter to turn on / off my Samsung UN40JU7500 either for sleep or system startup or shutdown under Windows 7. It may or may not work with other OS. LibCEC Trax(x64) runs as a Task Scheduled item at system start-up. All other media center items...

    Found the control stick; thank you. Eyes are not what they used to be. ;)

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    After searching; a couple of questions. Does the JU7500 series have a power button anywhere but on the remote? Without CEC over HDMI, has anyone found a solution that works to allow the TV to power on after resume from sleep? Does everyone leave their Samsung on all the time or always use...

    ESXi Passthrough not activating

    This is true for 4.x, but I have yet to find anything supporting your statement for 5.x. From my conversation with vmware, it is up to the hardware mfg to certify for vmdirectpath on 5.x hardware.

    Its up to SuperMicro to test and support, and the server that I have is supported with vmware 5.

    ESXi Passthrough not activating

    I have also been unable to get DirectPath I/O working for the 4-Port SAS, but I was able to select the onboard 6 Port SATA AHCI controller. Will continue to work on this.

    ESXi Passthrough not activating

    I will most likely have the same issue with the SuperMicro X9SRE-3F that I have recently purchased. Same Intel C606 SAS SCU.

    Building a 2011 ESXi, xeon really needed?

    Thanks, I was thinking PCI-e, but the board also has an option for PCI-x for a total of 6 slots. One of the big reasons for the newer 2011 board is the 8 dimm slots. Cheap 4GB sticks for a quick 32GB and ability to go 8GB or more. Even with (lower price) E5 4 core, I would not run out of...

    Building a 2011 ESXi, xeon really needed?

    I was originally looking at desktop/workstation 2011 board, most likely the P9X79 WS. Instead I am now looking to purchase the SuperMicro X9SRi-F. IMPI for me is one of the main drivers. I want to put this server in a closet and forget abou it. I also can use ECC ram, and has dual supported...

    Ford Focus Electric Certified at 105 MPG

    Depends on the size of your boat. But in general, compact cars don't tow boats very well.

    Ford Focus Electric Certified at 105 MPG

    It's great to see options like the Focus Electric available. EPA numbers are estimates, and nothing more. The rest will depend on driving style, terrain and weather. If nothing else, these posts have pushed me to register here on the HARDforum even though I have been lurking here the last...

    Ford Focus Electric Certified at 105 MPG

    I can let the car charge for 20 hours, doesn't matter. It was still finished in 8-10 MAXIMUM. Electric will come from the same places it does now, just cleaner and newer plants. Of my $230 dollar electric bill, $30 is from the Volt, the rest is my heat pump, furnance, fridge, computers ect...

    Ford Focus Electric Certified at 105 MPG

    More FUD. Max charge is 8-10 hours on 110. 4 hours on 220. Since I don't drive in NY, I can't comment on what the average person there drives like. I do have over 5000 miles down showing what this car can do. 5000+ miles with 8 gallons of gas over the last five months. 1000 miles a month...

    Ford Focus Electric Certified at 105 MPG

    I only added the Subaru info to show that I don't drive like grandma. Please re-read and you will see this. Not that it matters, but I got 20-24 mpg in the Subarus.

    How does a 5 week hold become 3 months? Please don't spread FUD. http://www.freep.com/article/20120302/BUSINESS0101/120302035/Volt-production-on-hold-for-5-weeks?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE

    Ford Focus Electric Certified at 105 MPG

    No, but as you know since you build and drive turbo cars, there is a big difference in millage when you spool up the turbo at every stop light compared to dipping into the turbo every now and then. This can dramatically change your gas mileage. I drive every day, I am not easy on this car, I...

    Ford Focus Electric Certified at 105 MPG

    I would not take the word of the website above either. The above is worst case conditions, and you still have the gas engine go the rest of the way. Worst case for me happens 1% of the time. I drive 42 miles round trip each weekday in a Volt. Most days I don't use any gas. I have 5500...
