I'm planning on moving my OpenSolaris based ZFS box to FreeBSD and I want to keep my 6 disk raidz2 array intact during the move. I've confirmed that the pool format, 14, is supported by FreeBSD. I did a very quick dry run in VirtualBox exporting an array from OpenSolaris and importing it into...

Translation: I just ordered a Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS :eek: I'm strictly a hobbyist with my Rebel XSI but I also have the itch. It will compliment my kit 18-55mm and the ever popular 50mm f/1.8. I'm hoping I can find a free weekend after it comes and put it to good use. Has anyone else...

Pro even! I got a new 13" unibody MBP on thursday. It's actually an early birthday present from my awesome girlfriend, and my first Mac. This is to replace my late 2001 Dell laptop:eek: I've built several desktops in between, but figured it was time for a little mobile lovin'. I don't know if...

Just picked up a WS-C2924C-XL-A surplus from the company I work for. Luckily it looks like it was left in a working config, i.e. I didn't have to dig around and change anything for it to act like a regular consumer switch. Now I get to mess with it :p I've used IOS once years ago, so it'll take...

...or sort-of re-picking up an old hobby. I'm hoping for a reality check here. I've sort of fixated upon the Canon Rebel XSi. It would be the first SLR I've ever owned, i've used others' a long time ago though. I can afford it, but would I be crazy to jump straight to that. Would it be...

Before I start let me make this clear: This isn’t about the companies/games/capabilities/price of anything. (I say this in hopes that this won’t degenerate into a pissing contest) Sometimes I wish the consoles were black metal boxes that I could stack on top of my receiver or DVD player. I...

So I'm a college student, CS major and i'm in need of a new laptop. Not only that but i'm highly interested in adopting OSX as a secondary OS(no plans of totally switching). I've been researching a lot lately and think the MacBook Pro would fit my needs. It seems that getting a student ADC...

I'm thinking about getting a semi-respectable sound system for once. I enjoy clear sound but have never had the money to get good equipment, I've had to leach off of others or make due with what I had. As such I've never really followed the market. Do you guys think it would make sense to buy...

I'm not quite a programming master yet so bear with me. How would one go about searching through every file in every folder starting with a root folder in C++(in windows if it matters)? I know how to open a specific file, but not how to traverse through the file structure. I would imagine some...

I got interested in microcontrollers recently so I decided to incorporate one into my computers lighting. I made a practice project to make sure I still knew as much about electronics as I used to and could program it properly. Then I wrote up a schematic and ordered parts, threw it all on a...

it will likely change at the update, but right now i have a team rank of 1337 :) http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=122870

i was playing around with my oc thinking that it would be nice to squeeze a little more out of it. i increased cpu speed 4% and found that my ram couldn't handle it so i changed the ratio and now its running 6% slower than before. After letting F@H run for a bit and checking the log file the...

just thought i'd mention that i'm going to join the [H]orde when i get home from work. I promised in one of the recruitment posts that i'd do it after new years but have been lazy about it. well, at least its still Jan. these are the machines i plan on putting it on: 2.2ghz athlon 64 1ghz...

I'm at college and i know people have had problems with ports not being open. If i can play the origional DoD through Steam, will i have a problem with HL2? I know for a definitive answer i should ask my net admin about specific ports, but to be honest you guys will probably give me a quicker...

Just built a new computer with a Athlon 64 3000+ and a Zalman 7000alcu. I used artic silver 3. I'm getting idle temps of 50-60C and load temps of 60-65C. Is it possible that the motherboard is reporting the temp wrong by this much? I touched the heatsink and it didn't feel that warm. Any...

I started cutting my new case up this weekend. I don't have the plexi in and there is still some smoothing out to do on the edges, but i got most of the window cut. Hopefully some of you will recognize what this is supposed to be :)

I'm going to be building a new rig relatively soon and am probably going to get a Lian Li case. I have never cut a Lian Li or anything intricate before and i want to have a window that involves flames, so i was just wondering what kind of experience other people have had. Would a dremel work...

I recently installed Fedora Core 2 on my laptop(dual booting with XP). Its been about 1.5 years since I've used Linux in a desktop environment, I have a server running linux that I log into remotely, and I have two hopefully easy questions. First. Just out of curiosity, why do usb flash...

I run a linux server and I log into it from my windows laptop using putty. Does anyone know how to switch to a different console session using this setup. I would like to leave processes running on the server(lets say 'wget' just as an example) and be able to exit putty, then come back to them...

I think my hard drive is fried. The 40gb cheapo maxtor hard drive for my linux machine refused to boot. It would load the command line grub boot loader but go no further. Usually it does the graphical version of grub. I used the MaxBlast cd to check it and it keeps saying that it cant read...

Its been a while since I had to troubleshoot like this. What components besides the PSU would cause a system to not even start to boot. I swapped power supplies with one that I know works and it still wont do anything. None of the fans start(not even in the psu), it doesn't beep or show...

I've lurked on the forums forever, now i've finally decided to post... This is something I did yesterday. I had had this in an old dell case, but it was way too big for a mini-itx board so this is my i'm-a-broke-college-student fix. *** Note: no pics for a bit. I know the website is down, I...
