In for one Paperwhite. Prime member for... 5 years or so? Don't currently own a Kindle.

My QNIX QX2710 LED Evolution ll DPmulti TRUE10 (Jesus, what a mouthful) was delivered yesterday. Great monitor, flawless. Not using it for gaming so I haven't tried beyond 60Hz nor have I measured input lag, but it's beautiful and for coding, web browsing and photo editing it's a big step up...

Modifying the SonicWALL software, maybe, but if he's trying to load alternative software on hardware he already legally owns, there's nothing wrong with it. Should be a good learning experience, but damn if it doesn't sound like it's going to be an uphill battle.

Recently pulled from my gaming system. I upgraded to a GTX 780. Ran in SLI; one card never had protective port covers removed. They're both this model from NewEgg. No accessories included; cards only. $65 each shipped via Priority Mail. Buy both for $110 shipped. SOLD SOLD SOLD Terms: Payable...

Time Warner Cable in NYC.

Cool. How do you like them? Considering getting some for our office since we don't have dedicated ops/IT yet.

In for 2. Hard to beat that price.

In for one. Should make a nice boot drive for an HTPC of mine.

Some awesome setups in here. I just installed a dual-arm monitor mount from Monoprice and cleaned things up a bit:

SOLD, SOLD, SOLD. Includes the card, the cable TV dongle, and the low-profile bracket. Terms: PayPal only, shipping upon receipt of payment to verified PayPal address only. Card is pulled from a working system and was working perfectly at that point, but is sold as-is with no warranty...

I had considered going with an Atom solution for a while for pfSense, but since I don't have any need for heavy-duty VPN processing power or anything, I just went with an ALIX 2D13. Handles my Optimum 50/8 connection just fine and draws 5 watts or less. Only $200, too.

You had to pay more? On top of the $14.95 for Boost? They told me it was the same price, so I'm paying $44.95 or whatever it is for basic OOL + Boost Plus.

Care to elaborate? Why the stage cases?

Called and upgraded to OOL Boost Plus today; no price increase and didn't even need to reboot the modem. I'm surprised to say that I'm really pleased with Cablevision.

Added an ALIX.2D13 running pfSense as my router, which replaces a VM running on my ESXi box (in the picture). The ESXi box will be repurposed as a non-24/7 Linux desktop. Draws ~5W instead of the ~240W the ESXi box drew (dual quad-core Opteron). Switch is a Dell 2716. Works great:

I've got a Revodrive 120GB. It's obscenely fast, but lacks flexibility in that if you ever wanted to put it in a laptop or something, you couldn't like you could with a 2.5" drive. I think, in retrospect, I'd rather have had 2 64GB C300s in RAID 0 or something. Would be faster. That said, it's...

New DOCSIS 3.0 modem for my OOL Boost 30/5 service:

Seriously, answer of the decade. I wish I could upvote this. I dabbled with some SSE stuff in a parallel/distributed systems course I took for matrix multiplication, but surprisingly, the GCC-optimized version when compiled with -O3 -m64 was actually faster than my use of intrinsics, so I...

The differences in power consumption are actually pretty minimal. That said, I think you must be bottlenecked somewhere else because I'll never go back to spinning metal for primary-disk storage again. I had a 160GB Intel G2 in my MacBook Pro, and I now have the same drive in my work laptop, and...

Dell's PowerConnect should fit the bill. I have a 2716 and it's web-managed, supports 802.3ad etc., and is dead-silent. Cheap on eBay, too.

Evening bump.

Hey, I'd love to find somebody who has an L220x LCD in working condition that they're willing to part with. I already have one and I love it, and I've been meaning to buy another, but they've all but disappeared from the market and they're damn near impossible to find. I'd like to pay about $200.

This. Pass -static to g++ and it'll disable dynamic linking. Your binary size will balloon, obviously, but you should be able to run it portably on most up-to-date architectures, especially if you're not doing anything too complex.

Kill-A-Watt says 280W.

Yup, good eye. 50PK550, picked it up today so no burn in or anything yet as far as I can tell.

Yup, Lack from IKEA. Very affordable stuff; it's not too durable but it's easy to put together and it's great starter furniture for the price.

Running a Ceton Infinitv4.

About $170 this month in CT with 2 computers running 24/7 and A/C; will probably be more this month as I added an always-on media center PC and a new Dell switch to the mix.

Supposed to be 30/5...

I don't think 99% of the CS jobs out there will use much of anything that you learn in calculus (although it's good stuff to know anyways), but most CS degree programs require at least one semester (if not two or more) of calculus regardless. For my degree, I needed 2 semesters of calc, 1...
