If i put it in the garage I would then need computing gear that could handle from -15F to 110F condensing. You must either heat/cool yours, or live in a very nice climate.
is there a nice easy standard way to find out what codec is inside of the mkv? I'm trying to serve them up over DLNA and the video/audio need to be in a specific codec. Granted I can produce incompatible MP4s still, but I still havn't found an automated tool to open a media file, and spit out what is in it. I need to know which level/frame size/bitrate/etc of every h264 video stream.
Yes I know mediainfo exists, but I have yet to find a machine output option for it. I have little interest in writing a parser for the output.
They do have a scaled down version, Autocad LT. Granted it is still around $500-$800 for a license and you loose LISP support, but it sure does beat the $1500 for the full version.
I think some of you are underestimating how much a CAD package costs. I'm ignoring MAYA/3dsMAX etc as I only have experiance with the CAD side of autodesk. The reason business happily pays $1500 a seat is that the CAD guys need something that works, that can then be sent to the CNC machine, automatically version-ed, and stored in a central repo (see autodesk vault). The cost of CAD for a year is nothing compaired to the work they put out in a year or just the cost of having them sit in the chair. Heck the cost of a modern workstation video card is on par with most of these CAD packages.
If you think autocad is expensive, you should go look up the cost on Pro-Engineer with all the option boxes checked, or SolidWorks with all the addons.
they did that because then they can use trademark law as there isn't copywrite protections on fashion items yet.Having your company logo all over means you can sue for trademark infringement.
on top of that there is a history of not accepting patches that cause regressions in some loads, especially when those loads are server ones. The linux kernel community seems to not want them, but in reality they want them to work in/on all systems/platforms.
Anyways, all of that said as nothing more than a long term linux user, as i'm not a kernel dev or anything like one.
perhaps it's autopilot is better at handling turbulence? or can fly more efficient routes when the plane needs to fly across a jetstream instead of along it? maybe the "better operation in extreme conditions" really is useful.
just my $0.02, and i really know nothing of those systems.
buy a WD green power drive, use it on/var/log/, ensure short (8 seconds or so is best I hear) log write times, watch drive cycle itself to death in a month.
anyways, apart from that, and the black drives not working in raid due to the inability to disable the "go to sleep forever to move a block and get flagged as non-responsive" so you have to buy a RE drive i have no issues with WD, but i'll keep using my seagates (generally, i did buy a 2.5" WD drive for my newest desktop and it is working well).
the price for a 2TB sata2 drive with 32MB cache was $70 6 months ago... as of last week the 2TB sata3 64MB drive was $140. I'll wait for the 150% price point thanks...
you mean like the macbooks with dodgy video cards? or iPhones that drain the batteries in 4 hours instead of 12? or wireless antennas that were grounded while holding the devices in a normal fashion? or power cords that would fray at the plug if you looked at them the wrong way?
If you'd like i could probably go find some more examples, and I'll admit that the dodgy video cards was mostly nvidia, but you would think that it would have been caught during normal random QA when it was an entire run of them.
There is no privacy on the device; a spouse or child who picks it up will instantly know everything you have been doing
Does the iPad not do that? All tablets (not slate computers) I have seem do not seem to be set up with user accounts. It as if they expect you to never share your tablet with your kids, spouse, or friends when they come over.
Is perl part of busybox? no? okay then it isn't a core tool that I can expect to rely on. The same goes for this new grep, and diff. There are times I have had to recover using the distro's provided rescue initramfs.
Also doesn't git already handle the "we rearranged the order of the functions in module" case cleanly?
i love using $IFS to read in CSV files in bash. saves so much time. granted these days i just do that in python with split, but still neat bash trick for the new kids.
T-mobile will sell you just about any phone they have without a contract. You can then use the very sneaky loophole of calling them and telling them that you are going out of the country, they will try and sell you the international plan, decline saying you are only going out for a few days and you don't expect to go often and would just like to buy a pre-paid sim when you get there. They should give you the unlock code for your phone.
Also T-Mobile is one of the few where the monthly payment is less when you buy the phone outright.
To be fair I had not looked at this particular design. I was referring in past tense to all of the disasters that had already happened, and wanted to know which of those was due to a design fault in the reactor.
I agree sodium cooling is a bad idea, for the reasons you mention. Also what do we do with the coolant after the plant is decommissioned? Granted this is an issue with most plants. Granted there are those that use gasses to do the cooling.
I wonder if curiosity's RTG could be scaled up and safely used in a residential setting? even if it was for a block of houses, or an apartment complex. Although I expect they produce a constant amount of power all the time. This would at least be good for the base load, and could then be supplemented with other forms of power for the peaks.
Could you show me where the design of the reactor was the issue and not negligence on the part of the human operators or cost cutting measures on the part of the owner? Also the newer designs are designed to shutdown when power is lost on their own. As the reaction is dependent on having power, and the cooling method is passive.

A better link to the case the parent is talking about and a link to newegg
here is another one and this one will hold a 5.25 drive as well. I want to like the fractal designs Array case, but I would like at least a slim optical bay.

At the end of the day, my "HTPC" is my ps3. So unless I want to demux and then remux every mkv on the fly for my PS3 I'll stick to my MP4s.
I think a Bentley really is a VW Beetle.
When I was using iTunes, it as only for media player things. Ripping was done from linux. I didn't own am iPhone/iPod/etc then.
Anyways, drop the apple gear and it will work.

see the nexus line of android phones.
Well then they will learn. Lots of us are moving to having mixed vendor mix lot raid arrays at home for just this reason.

I'd bet the graphical gui, gvimdiff works fine with 3 files as well.
what about
c:\some directory name with spaces\application name with spaces.exe argument1 with spaces argument2withoutspaces
means you end up with
c:\some directory name with spaces\application name with spaces.exe "argument1 with spaces" argument2withoutspaces

"ed had a construct g/re/p, where re is "regular expression". It was decided that this was used enough that it was made into a stand alone tool.
sed has similar origins. cd (change directory), ls (listing), mv (move), rm (remove), etc are also make sense once you know why they are that way.

must need pass through access to the blue-ray drive, or do you just rip an ISO and feed it to anydvd?
