Still a bad idea. At the very least they should make sure that nothing is fried on either side if you plug one of these drives into a SAS controller, or a SAS drive into a backplane that expects to see dual Ethernet on those pins. Even tho

Same connector as SAS, but a different pinout? Does this not scream "bad idea" to anyone else?

I live in Houston, and have problems with SAD. Even though I absolutely love fall/winter and colder temperatures, I've been very in-the-dumps lately as our local weather transitions to what counts as "winter" here. Nee

How long until the lawsuits from someone who tries to live on Soylent alone and ends up doing damage to their body? Are they going to use some of the money to hire people who know about nutrition? Don't get me wrong, I like the idea an

Now if they would just fix the "update/reboot/update/reboot" endless cycle on the software that came on the ZTE Open... It wants to repeatedly reapply the same update over and over.

Love my Nest, have had it since they were first available. Took a smoke detector off the wall with a crowbar a few months ago because it was 3am, I couldn't sleep because of the damned beeping, and I didn't have any spare batterie

This entirely depends on each person's specific use case. It's not a black or white answer. Sure, the MBA is "better" - and more expensive - but it's also a case of the Chromebook being "good enough" for

FYI, this page only links to Amazon which says shipping on the 20th - but if you go to the Google Play Store and Devices, it's there in multiple colors (black, or white w/accents) and ships by the 11th.

Ordered. I absolutely love my ARM-based Chromebook, and have wished for the same specs with a bit better construction and build quality. This is absolutely perfect for my needs, and the keyboard looks to be marginally better as well. I&#x

I bought a couple of the original APC 8750s when they came out. "Meh." Fiddled with one, the other is still in the original box. My RPi units get a lot more use.

I have "UNIX in a Nutshell" and "Essential System Administration" (the better 1st and 2nd Editions, not the 3rd which was ..eh) to thank for my career.

I would put "clearing a space or even making a concrete pad for a helicopter to land" and "checking cell phone coverage, if any" high on the list of first things to do.

I just don't see why there's all the hype over this keyboard versus any other mechanical board (Filco, Leopold, Ducky, etc) other than PR. For me personally, nothing beats an 87-key (standard 101-key minus the number pad, but with

Dedupe (at least for NetApp systems) only cares about data blocks; it wouldn't "open" a document or parse contents. https://communities.netapp.com/community/netapp-blogs/drdedu...

It's an app that provides a dedicated interface to VM services they offer. Not a general-purpose local terminal; not interested.

Give me the last non-touch-screen model with the Paperwhite backlight and the page turn buttons on the sides, and I'll be in heaven. Will be interesting to see if they've fixed the "uneven backlighting at the bottom" pro

I bought an 8G N4 when they first came available last year (upgrading from a GSM Galaxy Nexus, which was an upgrade from a CDMA Galaxy Nexus), and it's never been away from me for more than an hour or two at a time since then. I bough

If I had to choose between the two I would pick a Nexus S running something like CM10 for my "daily driver", but everybody's needs are different. As a "first smartphone" I could see lots of people going for FFOS ov

I picked one up just to tinker with, and am impressed so far. It's no Nexus 4, but it's not meant to be.

I'm a bit confused as to why postgrey is being used (it's circa postfix 2.1.x) when postfix's "postscreen" is now built-in and just as good.

This is exactly my experience with the Leap unit; I played with it for a couple of days. Then uninstalled all the drivers and put it back in the box, will try again in a few months to see if things have improved.

Just bought two - one for each TV in my house. I already have tons of media-streamer devices (TLBB XBMC, Pivos DS, Roku, etc) but they should be nifty.
