I just started looking at running a server again and stumbled upon MineOS. Its TurnkeyLinux tweaked for the sole purpose of running Minecraft servers. I installed it on an old laptop and it seems to run very well. You could also run an instance of MineOS inside Virtualbox if you didn't have any hard...

http://ergonomic-chairs.officechairs.com/24-7-Ergonomic-Task-Chair-CH03965.aspx I bought this one about a year ago and have been happy with it. It is said to be a Heavy Duty 24 Hour Ergonomic Chair . I'm a large person and the usual $100 to $200 chairs from the various box stores tend to develop is...

Yes. Also, like I said above, given the description of the symptoms, I think that the database structure itself needs to be addressed. Even if you go to SSDs and gain massive IOPS, they still won't help you forever if your DBMS is spinning data unnecessarily. I believe morphine makes a very good po...

Reading the various reviews of the Zotac zbox it seemed like heat and/or fan noise was a common issue. But I would be curious to hear other's experience with them. You might take a look at the Dorm 2.0 PC in the system guide. It isn't as small but would be more flexible/upgradable. You could also sk...

will somebody please tell Newegg to leave their site alone? Every damn time I go there, a new layout has been pushed. Yep, I was thinking the same thing. They need to just commit to one layout and stay with. Here I was thinking I got a good deal on the 830 128GB for $109. :( Come on hots on the 512...

I've been using a ReadyNAS NV+ for 3 or 4 years. I've gone through expanding the array and replacing bad drives without issue. My only complaints are that it is slow (12MB/s), due to lack of RAM and slow CPU, and an annoying fan that seems to creep up to 3000 RPMs on occasion forcing me to make it r...

Just bought the Samsung 830 128GB for $109. Then noticed the deal on Intel 330 series 180 GB for $139.99 (after MIR). Even better deal (price/GB) for the Intel.

I've not used IXsystems gear before but I have used FreeNAS in a production environment for supplemental storage. You could also just build your own with FreeNAS base. I personally use a ReadyNAS NV+ at home and my only complaint is it is sssslllloooowww (~25 MB/sec transfer via gigabit). http://www...

Thought I should post this. I use a Vertex 2 in my work laptop. Most of my valuable data is stored on-net but reading this thread reminds me I need to take a snapshot of the drive. The firmware version was the latest at the time I bought this drive.. probably very old? https://lh3.googleusercontent....

I just want to throw in one last thing here since it sounds like you're pretty well set as far as components are concerned. I do agree with JAE that your extra money might be better spent on peripherals like an SSD, monitor, speakers, mouse, keyboard (in my order of importance) I agree with your pr...

I've had very good success using Clonezilla to migrate Windows 7 from an old drive to a new drive. In the three cases I migrated with default settings and Clonezilla worked perfectly. However, in all three cases I was moving from a smaller drive to a larger drive. If you want to resize, especially s...

Did the Kindle Fire setup today (e-mail, wi-fi, etc..) for a friend. Neat little thing... tempted in getting myself one to play with but have my eye on an Asus Prime instead. Planning to do a hybrid of the sweeter spot build for the mother-in-law sometime in January. Her current setup I did for her ...

I would also suggest using a non-persistent VM so that any changes are discarded when you turn it off. You might also look at using something like KeePass http://keepass.info/ to securely store complex passwords for the various sites you may use. An old school way would be to print all your secure p...

Are the cats imaginary?

Ok, that made me laugh.

Just envisioned a tired frustrated person stumbling through the door from work and screaming at imaginary cats.

For the record I am very much a introvert while my wife of 13 years is an extrovert. Opposites sometimes attract.

If 16-bit is really a concern then use Virtualbox, VMware, XP Mode, or <insert virtualization technology>. However not a good fit for old hardware devices.

Are you sure you just didn't misread it for 483 instead of 433?

Tired, weary, blurry eyes could definitely misread 433 as 483.

They didn't "break in" because we normally leave the front/back door unlocked if one of us is home, since we go in and out a lot. Hopefully you learned your lesson about the importance of locking the door. You should also lock the door right after you enter your apartment/house to prevent...
