We are. And despite promises it's going away, it looks at this point that it will still be around when we migrate to Windows 10. Wait, what? The email software that failed back in the mid-90's is still around? I've seen and used Novell Groupwise* zombie installations at large companies, but I've no...
..and I believe it. I have the iPhone 6 with iOS 11; and I've had it numerous times where I'll have to wait sometimes 10-15 seconds for the messages app to open to respond to a text; or press a text box and wait for the keyboard to eventually show up, only to wait more time for it it register any in...
I've got some free CPU time on one of my nodes.. it isn't loads of free cycles, but it's additional cycles. I'd be happy to contribute, but not sure how.
I see we still need condiments; so I'll grab those. It also seems like we could use some water. Maybe I'll grab a gallon jug of Gatorade concentrate too. What all should I bring/and qty? (Not sure how much and what is needed) Obvious ones Ketchup Mustard Relish What else? I'll be stopping at the sto...
Yeah, I know the MSA60 is EOL .. but if one wants to be technical, so is the DL380 G5.. So I'm not absolutely against older hardware; it generally seems pretty reliable once you enter the enterprise grade equipment. The P410 doesn't have any external SAS ports, so you'll be looking at getting a P812...
Oh I didn't think about getting the storage box; I'll have to call the data center tomorrow. As far as the smart attributes getting passed, it has the HP P410 SAS RAID controller and earlier I put a Samsung ssd into one of the bays and ran smartctl and it couldn't obtain the smart stats. Just came u...
Hey Gerbils, Quick background, I am running an HP DL380 G5, with all 8 SAS hot swap drive bays filled, and the full size PCIe slot occupied with two 480GB SSD's using a Sonnet Tempo SSD Pro. A customer called and now I need to upgrade the storage because I need to add around 1TB of storage to this a...
Okay.. I'm going to throw out my procrastination shoes, and ask, how do I get my name on the attending list? I keep forgetting to ask, and I just remembered to post, and so here I am doing it. Wanted to come a few years now, just never got 'the nerve' to do it.
Sunday, 3:40PM . I receive an alert text from a managed client's UPS in the server rack "On Battery". Around 18 minutes later I receive a second alert "UPS batteries discharged". Two minutes later I receive a third alert "UPS batteries discharging". "Good", I...
I did this exact thing with one of my computers; used macrium reflect (free edition) and used the clone tool. It addressed the partition resize and copied everything. Shutdown the computer and swapped the sata cables and booted right up with no issues.
HVAC Tech here... First glance at the issue I'd suspect it's low on refrigerant (as in they didn't put enough charge into the system/small leak at a brazed joint). If there is a sight glass on the liquid line by the compressor unit outside it should be clear, as in no bubbles in it. If there is bubb...
You may want to check out Traxxas.com .. especially the "Rustler" stadium truck. Simple 2WD drive-line, and parts are very cheap and readily available. Comes with an exploded diagram. They're fairly durable, and was one of my first RC cars that wasn't a Radio Shack piece of crap. It's set ...
High temperature electrolysis and a compression reactor? That's a lot of energy input to basically convert the two primary products of hydrocarbon combustion back into a fuel form. Wouldn't bank on that being "net green" anytime in the near future. I realize this and am not making assumpt...
Uh, newsflash! Diesel *is* a fossil fuel. I'm sorry, I wrote that in haste, and wasn't clear when I wrote it and I realize petrol Diesel is made from fossil fuel, but I was referring to BioDiesel derived from plant and algae sources and other new tech that is out there such as Diesel fuel made from...
My experience is that all diesels are horrific to be behind, as a cyclist - even the new ones. To be fair all combustion smell. Even gasoline. My antique tractor I've switched to Ethanol not because I'm a tree hugger but the smell of gasoline stinks from this old thing and burning alcohol doesn't b...
*GASP* They called my beloved Mercedes soot blasting. I'll show you soot blasting! Go find a hopped up Cummins and roll coal. How's that for soot blasting? :P Sure when the injectors are dirty it'll haze a little when you get on the throttle, but it sure doesn't seem to be all that bad in comparison...
Hi Mr. Obvious all, long time reader, first time poster... Yeah, I've got the itch. It's bad too. Using an AMD Phenom x4 9600; sometimes just viewing a page with heavy CSS is enough to make me want to go make a sandwich. But what makes it hard to justify is it has a decent enough graphics card (GTX ...
From personal experience, I've found this ebay seller g.penguin to be very trustworthy and quick at shipping. I've bought many components from these people over the past few years. Maybe worth a look? http://www.ebay.com/sch/Memory-RAM-/170083/m.html?_nkw&_armrs=1&_ipg&_from&_ssn=g.p...
New fix for 840 EVO slowdowns due April 14 The Tech Report, LLC-2 Apr 2015 Samsung says it's prepping new EVO firmware in addition to the Magician refresh. Hopefully, the fresh firmware tweaks do a better job of ... What happened to this article? It was originally at: http://techreport.com/news/280...
I realize this isn't a Win8 built in gadget/widget .. but I've used NetWorx before. Used to have it on all my web servers (from a curious perspective); until I switched everything over to Linux boxes. It did work well, and being able to look at traffic charts/history is actually pretty beneficial wh...
I have never had cable, but my TV watching days died when they did the switch to digital TV. I couldn't receive the digital broadcast out in the sticks; and I wasn't going to pay to watch commercials. The only other caveat, is the internet is less than great. I'm paying $109/mo for internet, which t...
Well, I can relate... Albeit most my issues are more homestead/farm life issues... New Years eve, one of my horses began showing symptoms of Equine Protozoal Mylencyphalitis (E.P.M. - an infection from a parasite in the central nervous system) Four days later, another horse choked on her feed for 11...
