So, one half of the Government is screaming "Why aren't you protecting user data? You have to secure ALL THE THINGS on the phones from outside view!" And the other half is screaming "We NEED a backdoor into the phone so we can view ALL THE THINGS, because terrorism!" This is why we can't have...

It's a 3D-printed product. Edit the STL file and re-print one you do like.

The first rule of Jack Thompson is you don't talk about Jack Thompson! Seriously, are you trying to summon him?

Use an extension cord, go to jail.... :rolleyes:

Oh look, another "opt-out" menu item, no one will know about. LG got what it wanted, they're still going to collect all the data they can from uninformed consumers. :rolleyes: We seriously need a consumer protection law that requires "opt-in" on this stuff from the get-go.

Hack A Day has a writeup on it: http://hackaday.com/2013/07/09/3d-printing-with-liquid-metals/ It is an alloy of 75% gallium and 25% indium, liquid at room temp, but in an oxygen free environment. When exposed to oxygen, the skin of the metal oxidizes and becomes rigid.

They're going to ban CarierIQ and all other handset/carrier/vendor installed tracking software?

I am talking CALs, and yes, I see no value in charging for software already included in the OS. When you get a CAL, you don't get a download, it's already baked in. But hey, why give someone something they already bought when they can charge for it. There isn't even a code to enable it, it's...

I'm sorry, but after DECADES of licensing restrictions from Microsoft, I not only feel no pity for them, I seriously cannot stop laughing... "You want a license for our OS? That's $X.xx for the PC, and $Y.yy for the server. Oh you ALSO want them to talk to each OTHER? Well, for no software...

Just wanted to do a follow-up that this fixed it. Thanks for the assistance D-EJ915. Breakdown incase anyone else runs into this: SQL Manamgent Studio scheduled maintenace backups were being overtaken by Windows Server Backup. WSB was performing a nightly backup on an '08 server, and was...

Could you elaborate on this a bit? If I turn off VSS itself, I lose WSB backup ability. Is this a sub-set of VSS somehow?

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction, as I'm pulling my hair out. Working on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64-bit OS, with SQL Server 2008 R2 installed. I've setup Windows Server Backup (WSB) to backup nightly to a dedicated internal hard drive. I have SQL maintenance...

Well, they wanted to be more like Facebook..... :rolleyes:

Question: From the article: "Each of these motherboards will require a BIOS update to be serviceable though the leak suggests that the update would be performed by Microcenter themselves. If for some reason you have the board on your own you will need an older AM3 processor to perform the...

3 accounts. Coming up on 6 years next month. Yes, it does suck your free time into non-existence.

They're called Bulgin Vandal Switches. FrozenCPU has a good selection, in both chrome and black: FrozenCPU Switch Page

I have an M2N-SLI Deluxe. Don't know if the Deluxe is different or not, sounds like you have the non-deluxe model? I have my BIOS flashed to 5001, the experimental/beta BIOS for quad-core CPU compatibility. Running an ASUS EAH6850 PCI-e 2.1 card in it now. No issues. I don't know what BIOS...

Who said this number was devices per day in the USA? I have a feeling these might be worldwide statistics, at which point 182M activations per year vs 6-7 billion people on the planet isn't that great a stretch.

Mashie, I've been following your exploits since I joined the [H] 9 years ago. Yours were the mods that got me to pick up a Dremmel. I found Eve almost 6 years ago myself. Veto is a righteous corp. The two of these things were melded together beautifully in your case mod. I absolutely...

Damn, we just decommissioned one of these: Bought it new in 1998. With a whopping "fast-SCSI" speed of 10MBps connection. Nice paint job. I was thinking of taking ours and dropping in a mATX MB and some hot-swap 3.5" drive trays, making a small NAS out of it. I like what you...

Obligatory Ice 9 reference: fulfilled. :D

So then it just becomes a question of how often you NEED to backup the porn. :D:D

Why is the FTC and not the FBI involved? Isn't this more a case of Federal Wiretapping and Computer Trespass laws? (I know, I know, open Wi-Fi. But still...)

"What we don't love is anybody taking away your freedom to choose what you create, how you create it, and what you experience on the web." - Adobe ... and what you experience on the web .... Anyone else here remember the web in the early 2000's? All the flash animations MARCHING across the...

So, how exactly would an ISP know if someone is discussing a "state secret", unless the ISP knew the state secret? I assume then that China will be providing ISP's with a list of all state secrets that should be monitored and reported if discussed??? :D:D:D

Doesn't this open Verizon up to having their Safe Harbor provisions revoked as an ISP? I thought that as long as the ISP doesn't KNOW what's traveling on their network, they can't be held liable for it. If they know enough to cut you off for it, are they not now liable for EVERYONE on their...

I hate to be the downer here, but as has been mentioned in other threads on other sites regarding this story, I wouldn't consider this the world's largest photo. It's a massive photo collage. One picture is a photo. A server cluster processing 1655 individual photos for 94 hours makes a high...

Oh man, this is gonna KILL YouTube.... Wait, I said that like it's a bad thing....

Not to mention the PS/2 connectors on the back. Do mobo manufacturers seriously think someone's going to spend hundreds of dollars on the latest mobo, CPU and memory, only to plug in a 10 year old PS/2 keyboard????? Seriously, give us 2 more USB 2.0 connections and call it done.

Happy Birthday Kyle..... (Does this mean we need to water-cool the cake???) :D

Damn! Not first. Oh well, posting anyways.

OK, here's the deal. Looking at doing a laptop mod. I'm going to be stripping the guts out of the case and remounting them. It's an older laptop and requires a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card to get the faster speed I need out of an external device. However, I don't like how the card extends out the side of...

You can also read up on them on your own local [H] : Peltier/TEC Archive They used to be all the rage a few years ago, don't know if they're still that popular.

Huh... I didn't know Pringles made cans that big...
