I like intels' idea of "make the choice at purchase" have common hardware, and pick the OS you want - just one though. 95% of the user base won't want or know what to do with a dual-boot device, its nonsensical. Leave the choice open, and if the 5% want dual boot, let them do it themselves...

LOL Krom

Ferno, no havent, whats it about?

Capm

Well, any time they make something for surveillance, there is always a way to counter. Since any technology regarding this would rely on being able to read electrical signals, it will make it very easy to shield from either reading from or writing to the brain. You would nearly have to have direct s...

Capm

Thats pretty much my philosophy, got nothing to hide. I don't think they need to be prying into everyones business, but I figure if I can't stop them, then they aren't going to get me on anything. I think we're beyond the point where any one person or militia group even would make a difference, whic...

Capm

I don't know about telepathy and all this, but I think there is alot about the brain and the world(both physical and "non-physical") that we don't yet understand, and likely won't within our lifetimes. That being said... I think that the brain is enough of a biological computer that eventu...

Capm

Yea, the underlying goal for this system is to last me as long as possible... since I doubt the wife will let me have a budget at all for several more years (again... who knew when you get married and have kids, you can't just spend your money on whatever you like.. no no.. bills and responsibility ...

Capm

Intel still outperforming AMD then, or rather, would I regret going the cheaper AMD route?

Capm

Any particular reason you're not recommending SLI? Not that I'm going to do it because it will push me overbudget, I figured on down the road I could do it if I ever needed to.

What do you think about the 770 4gb version vs the 780 3gb, is the 780 better enough to make the difference?

Capm

Okay, so if you had $2500-3000 to build a new gaming rig (entirely new, nothing brought over from anything else, keyboard mouse, monitor, os need be included).. What would you build? (and yes, I'm looking for recommendations) Its been long enough since I built a system, that I'm not entirely sure wh...

Capm

You got to be careful with drivers going from XP to any of the newer windows. Did you go from 32bit to 64bit version when you did that? Because that caused a lot of problems with peripheral equipment, and if they haven't put out a newer driver for that modem (which is very possible) then you may not...

Capm

I hate netgears, they have some funky intermittant DNS problems, however - that can be solved by loading dd-wrt on them, then they're actually a decent router.

I don't have any experience with the Asus routers.

Capm

That stuttering and chopping could be noise on the return path, however... When testing high bandwidth speed packages when I was first testing our Docsis 3.0 CMTS here, I saw some issues that sound like what whats happening. On my test profile, which was wide open (320mbs/120mbs), I saw horrendous s...

Capm

.... so the government wants to.... watch me pick my nose... while I watch a movie?

I guess I'll just start using my middle finger for that particular action.

Capm

If they are old paper shells, you should probably not shoot them if they look the least bit buldged (not that they would chamber anyway)

Capm

And I could just buy a 19" black and white console too.

Capm

I think there was an article on tom's that listed the domains you can block in your firewall.

Capm

The other option would be to see if they have a NMS that keeps track of their ONT (if the ONT is a managed device itself), maybe they can have their NMS send you a notification if it loses contact with your ONT? That would be better than anything else I could suggest, most likely. And you could test...

Capm

I was just looking for optical sensors that would work for that kind of application... haven't found any yet, but did find this interesting read:

http://www.optex-europe.com/cms/documen ... 0E.pdf.pdf

Capm

Hmmm that would be problem with any Digital phone as well, since the EMTA also generates its own dialtone. The only solution that would equivilate that would be an optical light sensor. You would have to install an intrusion alarm into the demark box as well, since it is outside, you'd have to enter...

Capm

Is FIOS running IP-TV in your area? I hear they're still having a lot of problems with their boxes.

Capm

If you get a tivo box, be careful which box you get, most of the newer ones ditched the off-air tuner, you'll need the older version or figure out which one still has it, if any. But I'm sure there are other dvr options too.

Capm

Be carefull installing those new drivers....

Capm

Most cable companies have a "Limited Basic" that is basicly off-airs + weather channel and some freebie channels (c-span, etwn, etc) for cheap. Get that with a higher internet package, some places that still qualifies you for a multi-service discount as well.

Capm

Yea, but try to find commercialized equipment to transmit at 1 million gigabits ;) The key to Docsis 3.1 will be to phase out all the old analog channels and actually get them off the system, to make room for all that OFDM space. Many systems that have gone total digital, have done a Digital Overlay...

Capm

I would replace the router. Newer routers will perform better with streaming media than older ones, and fewer devices=better (usually). Keep the old one for a backup. When a customer gets a router from us, we've been giving them TP-Link routers, and for the most part, they seem to work real well for...

This thread reminds me of this:

We use Gel batteries in our standby power supplies, they're about the size of a car battery, but alot heavier. They're made for that kind of setup you're talking about. On paper, the life span is about 5 years, I believe, I'd have to look up the specs on them.

Capm

Well, we're all screwed then, unless you can install me as supreme world leader, of course.

Capm

Thats why this is a concept, not a prototype. You'd have to work out the kinks in the design, but the idea is good.

Capm

Need to do that with laptops too

Capm

You're just ripping off the Awesomes from Hulu.

You've already failed the group, you're out lamer!

Capm

I like using brass compression fittings and heavy copper tubing. You just got to be careful rolling it out, so that you don't kink it, but no special tools, no welding, no plastic. Just place, cut, put the fitting on the pipe, put the pipe into its spot, and tighten it down. Never have a problem wit...

Capm

Holy good gravy. You guys are still at it?! What a bunch of children, you guys are worse than my 3 kids, and they can fight and argue and whine over *literally* nothing. Someone close this thread, Please.

Capm

This topic is all over the place, from waves and energy to elements and nuclear decay rates. I'm going to postulate something here for you, now this is entirely pulled out of my own ass, and I have nothing to back it up with - Regarding the apparent balance you are looking for in regards to the push...

Capm

You know, you guys could have taken a different approach in your replies. But you chose to be pricks about it. You guys would make awful teachers.

Capm

I think it depends on what specifically you are talking about. Up to this point, this has been a broad discussion. I'm sure the energy is a factor, but to what degree? You could be looking at effects that take billions of years to manifest.

Capm

No, electromagnetic waves do have an effect on the environment around them, and vice versa. If this were not the case, you would not have any problems dispersing wireless signals through your house, or from a tower through thick trees and hills to a house. Even the atmosphere itself has an effect on...

Capm

These are still not "force of nature" You're talking about the physical properties of the sound waves and their effects when applied as force against other objects. Just because you can't see a thing with the naked eye, does not mean it doesn't have a physical shape, and this may not be so...

Capm

The fundamental flaw of your argument flip is that you're trying to express sound as a force - which it can be, by definition, however, you're trying to make it a "force of nature" which are all variations of electro-gravitational forces inherent to the universe which are created by the wa...
