Thank you! This is what I've always been trying to tell people. Go listen to it yourself. Bjorn's, our local high end A/V store, has all of the speakers set up for you to switch between. I spent almost 2 hours flipping back and forth between every single speaker before finally settling on the Klipsch RF-3 reference series speakers (and matching center, 4 surrounds and sub). For me it was the warmth to their sound, but some people may not agree with that particular sound.
And Bose... don't get me started. As someone mentioned earlier, their demos are in a highly controlled environment. If you had a padded rectangular room, yeah, they'd sound great, but most people don't have that.
Bottom line. Take your time, and get what *you* like.
Wow, I don't know who's more of a geek. You for finding that page, or me for reading it. (I love anything relating to San Antonio history and infrastructure).
512MB NVIDIA 6800 And you wonder why the UI was snappy? Most servers don't have graphics cards anywhere near that size. Most have elementary 3D support and that's just because the current chip in it happens to support it. Servers aren't meant to be UI heavy.
Ooh, this is a fun game. Can I join in? since you say 20 - 40% margin of error, we'll assume a 30% error for calculation. That would be a difference of about 12 years. Since we don't think you're younger than 40, we're going to correct in a positive direction. So that would put you somewhere around 52?
Most systems check for a certain file when the disk is insterted. If it matches a certain string or name it will flash the firmware with the new version. So then all the company has to do is release the file or an ISO and say: "Burn this to a CD and pop it in the player". The player will then read the file and flash the firmware.
I'm sure for people who don't have CD-R drives, they will ship them an upgrade CD probably just for the cost of S/H.
It's the return of the HardCard!!!! I remember having one of these with my old PC/XT. It was a 20 MB HardCard that fit into an ISA slot. The first ever hard drive i had running Windows 3.0 with DOS 3.3 on it.
Depends, are there only periodic uploads to update the bitstreams being relayed from the satellites, or is it a constant connection? If it's the former than it doesn't really matter what happens to the base and they'll merrily spit out data as long as they're active.
Who remembers Ghouls and Ghosts or Super Ghosts and Goblins for the NES and SNES. You want to talk about hard games. I'd say those two are quite a bit harder than Zelda. Those two always gave me so much trouble, I think I have yet to beat the first one.
Wifi should be a supplement for larger areas with changing configurations (meeting rooms, conference rooms, etc) not as a replacement for a typical wired setup. Unless you plan on constantly rearranging your cubes, there's no reason to do that. Also you should think of the two networks as being completely separate and treat the wireless network as a public access point (i.e. force VPN access to the wired portion of your network).
I see the problem coming in where people think it's a wired replacement.
RE? Short for REwritable? Why in the world can't they just keep things uniform and stick with the RW designation. Does it really need a new acronym? What is the major different that would warrant that.
you need to buy the most expensive one in order to be allowed to virtualise. Incorrect. You just can't virtualize with either Home flavor. Business and Enterprise allow you to do it as well as Ultimate.
Another MS product is coming out soon that is aimed squarely at the System Center Essentials. I went to a MS demonstration on it, basically it's quite similar to SMS with a few added perks for small to mid size businesses. One of the perks is being able to slip stream in any install via the AU client (basically it's a customizable WSUS).
Additionally MS isn't going to be as draconian with it's licensing like SMS, rather than needed a CAL per workstation it's is a single license for up to 500 computers. I'm just waiting for it to come out, SMS is a bit too big for what I'm looking for.
No i didn't RTFA, but one of my biggest concerns has always been remote central management in the enterprise structure. IT can't always make "house calls" to each and every computer, there has to be ways of remotely accessing, configuring and maintaining the systems and I haven't seen much that supports OSX. Even with Linux there are tools that allow you to do that, and most all central configuration tools are Windows based.
That is going to be a big hurdle to adoption from an IT standpoint.
Would you mind explaining this further or pointing me in the right direction to research it more. I'm trying to switch more to CSS for that exact reason (write once, read many).
I kinda miss that. I was happy when I finally broke 100. I still wonder if there is a numerical record in the system just that it's not displayed to the users anymore.
The Diag files are still available for download and can be run off a bootable CD. I usually only keep the utility partition on the servers, for all the workstation's i just keep the CD around.
That's just a glitch with their website, the offload engine is actually software configured in the OS. Choosing no OS does not keep you from using the offload engine, you just need to install an OS that supports it. If you have a supported OS chosen (Windows or Linux) they will do the configuration. Really though it's a moot point if you wipe and reload it yourself.

There's a reason you were modded off-topic. It's because the joke did Mach 4 over your head.
I have a copy of MvC2 for the DreamCast... what I am missing here?

*blink blink* that...is...insane.
Love the shortcut he took on the 2nd level, purposely taking a hit to be flung down the side of the house and skipping half of it.

Woohoo! My ID (214759) is prime also! Thanks for pointing that out.
And even the summary title wants to short him for 99 cameras to his credit!

Um, try clicking the picture again, it just randomly inserted an ad. Next click brings up the actual image.

*yawn* wake me up when you've been around here longer.
