Tour??? No one who ever served on Submarines or in the Navy would call it a 'tour'.. Of course we (who served in Submarines) are a little off. You have to be to do that job. We are also more self reliant than most others also. That's not bragging, just facts... I was in the Submarine...

Please, everyone, Keep going. I have my popcorn and I am enjoying this immensely. Says the Submarine Combat Systems Electrical/Computer Engineer who flys around the world just to fix this stuff.....

I left the 'consumer grade' WiFi two years ago and entered the 'commercial grade' WiFI by going to the Ubiquiti Unifi (https://www.ubnt.com/) system and I will never go back. No more WiFi routers, because I do not need them (I have a dedicated firewall), just (originally) a single Unifi...

As a driver and an driver instructor, this was rather stupid. Way too many factors that are not the same.

Damn things work.

AdamK47, Did the 650Ti just not push enough raw power for the PhysX and the SLI was faster? Just wondering.

Building a new system. Leaving behind my E6600 and SLI 8800's. This card is more powerful, uses less energy and has a good cost point.

As a track driver and HPDE instructor, I use some of those items. Of course, some are just for the bling effect and are pretty much useless.

Nice point. The US Navy's has moved away from purpose built systems to open architected systems over the last decade or so. The primary reason was COST. It cost multi-millions of dollars to design and build a closed system, let alone the time/dollars (measured in years) to build/debug and...

Let see, since I retired from the submarine service in 2004 as a FTC, and went to work for FTSCLANT (now called NSSA), I have installed/upgraded BYG-1 TI02, TI04, TI06 and TI08 systems on 688's, 688I's and SSN-21 class boats. In addition, I have done ALL the major Virginia Class Combat System...

Yep

US Submarines do not use Windows (any flavor) for any type of weapon functions. The FCS (Fire Control Systems) on US Submarines, either the TACLAN and Weapons Control subnets use a combination of RH Linux and Solaris. The only Windows OS's are used for Documentation display and backup TLAM...

Count me in also.

The US never sold the designs for the Trident Class boats to the UK. The UK designers are perfectly capable of designing their own boats. They just buy the missiles.

US Submarine Combat Systems and Sonar Systems use a combination of HP UX, RH Linux, Solaris and Windows. The Unix, Linux and Solaris systems crash more often than the windows systems....It is more often the application software vs the operating system. The HP UX systems are being phased...

I thought it over and I am not ready to fork over a grunch of money (yet!) for a new system. So on the way over to our local Linux Users Group meeting, I stopped in at BestBuy, which has BFG 7800GS OC's on sale for $240.00 and picked one up. I could have gotten one from NewEgg for a little...

Thanks for the opinon. I might just do that. Trying to get more info, one way or another.

My current desktop system is a Asus NCCH-DL Dual Xeon motherboard with two 2.4GHz Xeons running at 3.6GHz and a ATI AIW9600 video card. My AIW card is getting a little long in the tooth. My system runs great but I was wondering if: 1. Should I upgrade my Video card to a NVIDIA GeForce...

Thanks for the info. Ordering my machine tomarrow. It's only $3200.00

I am getting to slam down a bunch of greenbacks on a Sager 9750 Laptop. I can get it configured with two different screen resolutions: WUXGA@1920x1200 and WSXGA@1680x1050. Now at home I run 1250x1024 so I have never seen a display with that resolution. Is there a REAL difference or will the...

I am getting ready to buy a DTR Laptop. The options for video are a Nvidia GForce 7800 GTX or Nvidia Quadro FX Go. The Quadro is more expensive but its core speed is slower than the 7800. Which one is better? Oh, the laptop I am planning is a Sager 9750 Dual Core AMD.

No, it does not cost more to ship to a FPO/APO (old way) or AE (new way). The shipment goes to the AE that is in NY and then the Military takes over and gets the mail/packages to the individual thought the Military mail system. I recently retired from the US Naval Submarine Service (24...

Not sure what you mean by 'winflashing' the board?

I am unable to flash my NCCH-DL Bios. The version I am running is 1001 Beta 15. The AWDFLASH program runs and I tell it what file to flash. The floppy is then accessed, the program reports the type of bios chip and then thats all. The floppy access light never goes out. AWDFLASH never...

I finally received all of the parts I needed to build my new Dual Xeon system. Asus NCCH-DL motherboard (2) 2.4G 533Mhz processors (SL6VL D1 Stepping) 1 G of Corsair Dual Channel TwinX DDR-1024-4000Pro memory. (2) IWT heatsinks The System initially came up great, then I changed the FSB (via...

I currently have a AthlonXP 2000 (overclocked to 2100Mhz) with a Abit KG7-Raid motherboard, with AIW 9600XT This is my primary desktop/game/application and Folding@home box. (Team status embedded) This setup will be relegated to my home Linux server farm. I have researched and...
