Okay, I feel like I need to bow to the Linux gods on this one. Been at it for 2 hours now with no luck, and my Google Fu is spectacularly unhelpful. Here's the deal: I have a bunch of different servers that have a bunch of LSI RAID controllers that I need to run a command on to output SMART...

-bash-3.1# rpm -ivh flashupdt-1.9.70-4.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package flashupdt-1.9.70-4 is already installed -bash-3.1# rpm -e --nodeps flashupdt-1.9.70-4.i386.rpm error: package flashupdt-1.9.70-4.i386.rpm is not...

I've had to start using megacli quite a bit at my new job, and while it's generally a pain in the ass (why do some flags have no vowels while others randomly do...?) I've pretty much gotten the hang of it. However, I'm at something of an impasse right now. I've got a number of boxes that had...

I've got little-to-no experience with VMware specifically, but I understand virtualization concepts well. Essentially, I want to see if it's feasible to go from that point to VCP4 certified in 4 weeks (3-4 hours studying per day, more on weekends) as a kind of "Fuck you" to my company, who sent...

I got a Samsung "Eternity" back in November 2008. Thought the touch screen performed well enough in the store, but I realized after using it daily that the entire phone is just slow as fuck. Oh, and the touch screen stopped working a month ago. Kinda shitty thing for a phone that can *only be...

Maybe my Google Fu is weak, but every search I've tried invariably leads to articles from sites like about.com from 8 years ago about how to make an Angelfire family album in HTML. It's starting to become professionally desirable for me to jump into programming, specifically of the dynamic...

I'm at the portion of studying for my CCNA that I'm going to have to start doing some physical, hands-on experience. I don't have the cash to drop on all of the equipment Cisco uses for their labs, so has anybody successfully done it with cheaper stuff (i.e., Linksys routers / switches that can...

So, Valve covertly added one more achievement to Portal's achievement listings: "Transmission Received." http://steamcommunity.com/stats/Portal/achievements/ So far, 0% have gotten it. However, the plot thickens...

Just preordered it on Gamestop, but is it too late to get a beta code? Kinda dropped the ball on that one.

I'll keep this as short and sweet as possible. I need to design a network around the following caveats: 1) Main wireless router (WRT54G) and Modem (just generic cable) are located on bottom floor of three story house 2) PS3 is located on second floor, configured to use wireless G WPA...

Anybody else grab this? And am I alone in thinking it's ridiculously difficult? I've been looking around to see if anybody has any pointers on how the holy fuck anybody's ever supposed to get a Gold...I'm not sure anybody actually knows how to yet.

In a capitalist society, companies or individuals create products and sell them in a free market. The motivation to do this is strictly profit; if you create a product that consumers want, they will buy it. The better product you create, or the more demand you create for it, the more people...

So I turned on my Vista 64 machine, just like any other day, and I get into Windows, just like any other day, and then all of a sudden my Logitech G7 stops moving across the screen. I figure the battery is just dead, so I swap it out for the one in the charger. Huh. Still no movement on...

So, what call would you make? Don't know steppings, unfortunately.

I'm not very big into console games, but I just got a PS3 along with a 60" Bravia (yay bonuses). If I was to get a console for playing games, it would have been a Wii - but I'm not going to go out of my way searching for one, and I wanted Blu-Ray capability, even though every other player...

I know eVGA had one in a Socket 939 variety last year sometime, and I actually bought one - and returned it the same day I got it from Newegg, upon learning that, like many others who purchased it, the board was DOA. There's been absolutely nothing since that, so far as I know. Is it really...

Alright, so I pre-purchased The Orange Box about 2 weeks ago, because I figured it was a good enough deal - I liked Episode 1, I was interested in TF2 and Portal sounded cool. So I jumped in on the TF2 beta when it opened up, I pre-loaded Portal when I could, and I pre-loaded Episode Two when...

I got about 15 minutes through the game before I realized that it wasn't supposed to be as silent as it was - Alyx's dialog wasn't loading at all. I saw a fix in a thread about Portal having the same kind of issues where somebody suggested changing the language to French / German, restarting...

I heard the fuss over this mod so I'd figure I'd download it and give it a shot. I didn't know I was basically downloading a bad copy of DOD:S with modern weapons that are RIDICULOUSLY unbalanced. Every friggin time I get into a server, every decent position is taken, so I end up being a...

DO NOT BUY IT. Twice now have I removed the heatsink as I normally do, only to accidentally loosen one side an eigth of an inch (not even, probably) more than the other side, creating uneven pressure. With most well-built heatsinks, this would result in just a slightly lopsided heatsink until...

So I was tinkering around with my AN-M2, clearing the CMOS settings because of the CPU Safe Mode bug in the BIOS, when, without thinking, I removed the CMOS battery - without unplugging the PSU first. Well, shit. There goes $80, I thought. I turned the power off, put the battery back in, and...

So, it worked fine out of the box, except for an interesting issue where it said the CPU was in Safe Mode, and that I should reset it in the BIOS. When I did that, and set everything to default, it would still display the Safe Mode warning on bootup. Hoping to get rid of that issue, I cleared...

I can't Google this for the life of me - every result I get turns up data storage solutions. What I'm looking for is a physical storage solution for processors...it can be as barebones as the trays that vendors ship large quantities of procs in, but I'd prefer something anti-static and padded...

Well, so SiSoft Sandra says, anyway. I've got 2 1GB sticks of DDR2 running at 1056mhz, 4-5-4-13 timings, and my memory bandwidth in Sandra is slightly under 5GB/sec. This is obviously more than a little bit off, because my memory should be getting upwards of 10GB/sec bandwidth. Sandra also...

Well, I know VIA isn't too reliable, but this is sort of ridiculous. It's been happening on two Windows installations now...I thought perhaps I screwed something up on the first install, so I formatted and tried again, and it's doing the same thing. I have an Envy 24 HT-S chipset-based...

I think this is a setting that Valve randomly changed about a year ago, but I haven't been able to find a workaround, so I figured maybe I'd ask. Nothing relevant shows up on Google, unfortunately. When I try refreshing the master list, regardless of what filters I have applied to it...

I originally thought that I was just trying to OC too far, but now I think there's something wrong. If I even change the CPU value from 200 to 201, the monitor won't turn back on after the reboot. Is this a known issue? I can't update the BIOS because ABIT apparently doesn't have any BIOS...

I bought this thing as a refurb 1 year ago with the intent of setting up a nice home theater, but I no longer have much, if any, free time. I've been using it to watch movies in my bedroom by projecting onto a wall, and the bulb has about 100 hours on it. I paid $600 when I bought it, so I'm...

I was pretty sure Lian Li said any PSU would fit in this thing, but alas, mine does not. I was planning on getting a new PSU anyway though, so does anybody know a good modular PSU that fits?

I switched my 3200+ for an FX55 this afternoon, but when I tried turning the system back on, it would POST, but the monitor would never receive a video signal from my card. I tried everything I could think of, including taking the whole friggin' kit and caboodle out of the case and putting it...

Despite the fact that I can ping major websites in under 25 ms, I see...7 CS:S servers that have pings less than 600. Considering I can normally apply a filter of ping < 50, not full, secure and not empty and return at least 50 servers per map, I get the sense that something is wrong. As...

Hey guys. My work is building a couple of custom PCs (well, probably a lot of them, but these are the first batch) and they decided to go with an SFF case, the X-Qpack specifically. We've got three right now, loaded them up with some Pentium D 950s, 2GB RAM and an Intel 945GTP apiece. The HDD...

Alright, I'm at my wit's end here. I've seriously tried everything, and despite the fact that I've found like 8 guides on the web detailing how exactly to get the widescreen on my 700m working (although, oddly enough, all of them tell me to use different configurations...) it is still stuck in...

My friends and I are on a HUGE N64 kick, and we've been going back and playing Goldeneye / Perfect Dark deathmatches...however, there's one problem. The N64 is wicked weak. Rocket matches drop the framerate waaay into the single digits and stay like that for awhile, and it's giving me a...

What the title says. Needs to be PCI-E, good overclocker, and SLI totally unnecessary; preferably a lot of onboard USB / Firewire ports too. One more thing: ABSOLUTELY NO DFI. Thanks.

I remember back when this game first came out people were saying they were running it fine with just 512MB of RAM...but I'd sure like to know what their definition of fine is. Shortly after it came out my motherboard got borked, so I ended up just buying a new one...long story short, I had the...

Well, now that I have a projector, I figure maybe I should go with an HTPC that I can subsequently hook up to my projector to play games with; mainly, the draw is that I can emulate the N64 / SNES games that I own, and not have to drag those systems around to LAN parties...plus, the benefits...

I've got a widescreen projector that can do 480p. I also have a Gamecube. I would like to buy RE4, but I don't want to hook it up to the projector through composite cables - it looks like ass, and RE4 was meant to look purdy. Apparently, however, Gamecubes sold within the past year or so...

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8926325136071596338 Saw this on Ars news, and I thought it was absolutely hilarious. Sorry if it's a repost, didn't see anything in the search.

I just rented this game tonight because I was bored (and because Blockbuster was, once again, out of God of War :rolleyes: ) and wow, am I missing something? Because either this is the most ridiculously difficult game ever, or the learning curve is, like, vertical. I was dying so much that...
