I've hit 4TB/month once and 1-2TB/month a couple times, but that was last year. This past year it's been under 200GBs per month. But I have a business account, so it doesn't really matter

Besides the reasoning that Winnow gave for not using raid 5 for what he needs, if you ever have to rebuild a large raid 5, you'll want to shoot yourself even if you have a top of the line hardware raid controller. And consider that using standard drives which are prone to higher failure rates, it's ...

Sorry to hear, but don't put too much into the "getting old" thing, it has nothing to do with age. I had my first attack at the age of 26 so take from that what you will. What I can do is share my experience in dealing with it. I recommend that you make sure it's gout. There are some other...

Apparently you take HGH, sit on your ass all day and your body magically gets in shape.

BTW, saw the movie today and it's an enjoyable action flick.

The flash sideways is not an alternate reality. It's simply purgatory. Most of those characters still had unresolved issues that they felt they needed to take care of. The purgatory actually happens way after Jack has died, it just ran simultaneous to season 6 because frankly, who really wants to se...

I currently use an iPhone. I've only been saying that forever. Fuck the iPhone Yeah, because before the iPhone we had...yeah exactly. As much as I hate iPhone's total restrictive practices, the fact is, they changed the whole game and we owe them a lot of credit for truly pushing smart phones to the...

Why not go East instead? Japan, Okinawa, even Hong Kong would be a nice trip. India I think would be much like the US seeing as they have a lot of our jobs there. You definitely do NOT want to go to Japan in February. I've been there in February and would not recommend it as a good month to go there.

I recommend you take a look at this site. http://www.av-comparatives.org/ On this site you will find independent comparatives of Anti-Virus software. All products listed in our comparatives are already a selection of some very good anti-virus products. In order to get included in our main tests, ven...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this one, but try http://handbrake.fr/

You'll want to rip the DVD first to disk then use Handbrake to convert it to whatever you want.

Google Search - they know what you searched
Google Analytics - they know the site you went to cause it told Google
and now Google DNS - you tried being sneaky and went to a site that doesn't run Google Analytics

They now know one way or the other where you're going

monoprice.com There is no reason to spend more than $10 on a HDMI cable. I've bought several HDMI and Network cables from these guys. All of them work great. I love their selection. I was able to buy specific colors and lengths to have everything well organized. If you look at the avsforums, monopr...

Ok, I know there's a single post for youtube videos,but I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Seriously, it deserves it's own post. I just woke up my wife laughing so hard, then she had to see it what woke her up, well she lost it as well.

After reading some old posts and searching around, I finally gave Media Monkey a try. Best music media manager I've tried. The shit just works.

It's actually pretty easy to strip the bloat after you install itunes. I've done it so many times I could do it wiht my eyes closed. Sorry, but I'm talking about iTunes itself. It's gotten worse over time. I've been using MGTEK dopisp (yeah, stupid name), on an XP box with Windows Media Player 11 a...

valryte

I swear, I have not even installed iTunes on my Windows 7 box (my music is so outdated). I is scared of Apple bloatware.

OK, looks like it's official. It's been about 3 days and the video driver restart has not happened once (normally it happens many times every day). It was the fucking jmicron drivers! I had my XP drives connected on the jmicron sata controller and the drivers are apparently shit on Windows 7. Runnin...

Hey Winnow, hows the SSD drives working out?

After reviewing EVGA, ASUS and GIGABYTE, I've settled on a GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD5 motherboard and the Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz. I also grabbed CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) (7-7-7-20). Took the free 3 day shipping so should have it in time for the Thanksgiving weekend. Going to pull the ...

I may have fixed my problem. I won't go into details yet because I just made the change one day before going out of town, but as soon as I get back I'll stress test the hell out of it and report my results, but yesterday looked very promising.

The downside to running games in Windowed Mode is that your computer has to redraw the game and your desktop (and anything that's on it). I notice that I lose about 10-25fps when I play games in Windowed Mode. My gawd, what 90s computer are you running that you actually notice an FPS lose when play...

Also running Win7 Premuim home 64, no issues except alt tabbing out from WoW its OMGIAMRETARDEDCAUSEALOTISTWOWORDS slower than with vista 64 for some reason.

Alt tabbing? 4 words. Windowed Mode + Second Monitor

No, but I can tell you have IPv6 disabled as well, probably read about issues with it somewhere. As for my driver restart issue, I've had an open ticket with XFX. I just told them I've tried everything, even on different computers and it still happens. I had another ticket open regarding video playb...

So far I love the OS. Most of my application actually run better on Windows 7 than XP, but I am having this one major issue that I can find plenty of reports with the same symptom, but no real answers. Basically, Windows 7 seems to hiccup doing various things. Going from Computer to one of my drives...

I can't blame them because I am having one other issue with Windows 7, but nothing else reacts as bad as Acronis. I won't derail the thread on it, I'll post it under a Windows 7 thread.

valryte

Acronis has done what I thought would never happen....it has disappointed me :( Dam them! Basically, any time I try to make an image, it locks up and eventually causes Windows 7 to reboot. I did a search, and I'm not the only one reporting instabilities with True Image Home 2010. The Microsoft one s...

BTW, MSecure is outstanding for passwords, etc. It has a simple interface that gets the job done. Can sort by type or alpha. I find it easier to sort alpha to find things normally with the quick letter touch thingy on the side. The one I use for storing accounts and passwords is SplashID @ http://s...

Well for starters I find the whole upgraditis thing funny. It seems a lot of people upgrade just because there is a new version of something. On a new PC perhaps starting with Windows 7 may make sense but for me there is no benefit to upgrade from my current XP configuration at this time. It's not ...

valryte

That is correct. There is no way to go directly from XP to Windows 7. Trust me, just install Windows 7 and create images as you install stuff. Some older applications cause havoc in Windows 7. Especially applications that integrate with the shell, some of them aren't using the API's correctly and wi...

After about the first 5-10 minutes I told me wife, if the movie was like that the whole time we're walking out. Thankfully it wasn't. The effects were great and the action picks up really nicely. So, if you see it, just stick around, it does get better

In addition to those, you can set it up so that your Google Voice # rings to different lines at different time (say, work during the day, home at night, cellphone when on vacation), or so that it rings to different lines based on contacts (work contacts all go to work line, your wife always rings t...

Word on the street is that Google Voice will be integrated into Boxee but not XBMC!

Great, soon Winnow will be able to do a voice conference while he faps to his streamed anime!

It's lovely that there are no plans by Google to offer this in any market than the US. Trust me, it has nothing to do with Google.

Tell me about it. The sad thing is when the laptop died I was in the process of making an image of it in preparation of installing Windows 7. Normally I have recent images, but for the laptop the last image was from like 6-7 months ago because something happened with Acronis and it stopped working. ...

You just need to go to nVidia's site and get the latest Windows 7 drivers for 64. They solved any graphics issues. No I don't because that was the first thing I updated after installing. It went from showing a red-green gradient to having refresh/painting issues. Anyways I have the 32 bit version r...

Got my MSDN copy last night and just installed it. Like Winnow said, thing installs really fast (up to now I have only installed it in VMs on top of XP). Took about 10-11 minutes for me as well to complete the installation process. Was like 7 minutes for it to copy everything, then like 2-3 minutes ...

I saw the preview last month...um, this should be interesting to say the least. Really not sure how I'll feel about this bastardizing of such a classic character.

When it comes to "fresh" fruits/vegetables they aren't always better than frozen. Nutrients break down over time by light and air, so a fruit/vegetable that is is picked at its prime and frozen will contain more vitamins and nutrients than some produce which can arrive at the grocery a wee...

Xp users are nuts if they stick with XP over Windows 7. This OS rocks. Such a clean UI. The networking rocks. Well, no we're not nuts. For some of us, it all depends on how well our development tools work on it. Vista was horrible as far as support for some older development tools. I really hope th...
