I'm sad, because I had someone give me a great phrase about 6 months ago in Latin, which was basically "you have to accept it as-is because it is already done".
I deal with junk a lot that is not put together right, and instead of asking at the beginning to figure out how to do it, the issue is...
I have a bazillion gig (okay, maybe around a thousand gig) of random SO DIMM's; everything from DDR333 to DDR3. I was looking for something to experement with, and was hoping there was an adapter card or something I could use to turn some of the ram into a ramdisk.
The nearest I could find...
The new chargers are free at all times (just 'cheap' Bosch ones) so I leave it plugged in all day unless someone asks to free up a charger. It charges from empty to full in 4 hours. I pull 100% of the electriciy I use from the work charger during summer, and about 50% this winter so far...
Please note that the PoE switch you linked to is 24 volts while the majority of PoE devices are 48v. Make sure that the PoE voltage is the same on all devices.
I realize this is an old thread, but it's the only one I found on Azure. I can't find anything in their ToS against running Boinc or similar (and I wouldn't expect it anyway). I'm slightly bored (as in I have a few hours this coming weekend to mess around) and I can use Azure because of my...
If the drive won't spin up (which it sounds like), and you have data on it that is a security risk, weigh the risk against the $100 or such that the warranty replacement is worth. I'd probably just destroy the drive.
Baring that however, you can do some fun stuff. For example, being it with...
No real change in mileage now to when I got it. Still get around 80 at the 2 year mark. Summers are hot (100+) and winters are cold (-50 windchill a few days this year IIRC)
The different options on the transmission are in the manual. It's up to the driver to make the leap between what a...
Sure. I use ~40TB of the 54 I have on my RAID60 file server with a local backup of the important stuff on a few ReadyNAS NV+'s along with a dell 124T autoloader for backups that I make whenever I get bored and need something to do.
I have the dewalt cordless which was about a buck without a battery, and it takes off everything I have thrown at it except one thing. It is loud as heck by the way. Even my thundergun couldn't take it off the axle nuts on my dodge ram, but a 1 inch drive IR could; though it puts out 1500 ft/lbs.
Good point. The power has gone out several times, and I use a 1200watt peak generator by turning off all the 240v breakers and the mains, then plugging the 2 outlets from the generator into 2 outlets on the 2 legs. (gen is only 120v not 240v). It can run everything in the house except the 240v...
I can't see the cost on mine. On average, I drive my electric car 28.5 miles per day. The actual measured cost per mile of my car with my driving habits is 0.785 cents (about 3/4ths of a cent). So it costs me 22 cents per day for a commute assuming I charge at home. That equates to $6.60 a...
I have used a ton of different systems and options and 'best' is dependent upon a whole load of factors. For me though, the 'best' means decently fast and absolutely no work to administer because I am lazy.
I used to use FreeNAS years ago, but I had some issues with adminitration and...
There is a carrying cost to data, but it is very small. With personnel overhead, it works out to about 1.5 cents per GB transferred up or down on a non-mobile backbone network on each side (so total is abotu 3 cents when you back out the peer agreements between backbones) So yes, there is a...
For wire, voltage doesn't mater, only amps does. (unless you go over the max voltage rating; usually 600 volts, check the insulation). If there is 14 gauge wire, that means it can handle 15 amps. Voltage doesn't matter as long as it is under the maximum voltage specification.
Keep in mind that...
You linked to the article yourself, so do the math yourself for aluminum (hint: it changes 'not feasible' to 'not feasible'.)
You thought the single stream recycling truck that comes to your driveway has pixies in it that sprinkle fairy dust on metal and it instantly goes 'Poof' and sorts into...
Hold on, let me get my slide rule from the highly technical forum.
ROM estimate is that to deflect a piece of titanium the weight of a grain of sand (20mg) moving at 10 meters per second a distance of 5mm though a vacuum (not 30 weight so we can ignore some of the variables at least) it would...
