Commodity, replaceable nodes. That's the common new approach. Nearly everyone is doing that today. It is tough for the small businesses, though, where they are lucky to have a single node. Works great when you are replacing old, legacy UNIX machines or something but when you are replacing a single, cheap node you generally can't find the budget to go to two, cheaper nodes.

I wuld also like to see it added to Cortana but the issue here is that to get Cortana to work, you MUST have location services/GPS turned on and everyone knows how fast that eats your battery.

I play Ingress. My GPS is pretty much active 100% of the time.

lol oh brother.

All the major populations are on the coastline. There's not much inland other than mining towns and the tourist industry at Alice Springs.

Not that much different than the US. More extreme, but same idea. Just think of the Great Lakes as a coastline and it mostly lines up. If you consider the Mississippi a coast too (it basically is) then it really turns into that.

@nadnerB Did you reapply thermal paste after you knocked the CPU cooler?

Not yet, I don't have any on hand.

You can pick this up at most retailers. Even Staples sells this! Works great!

Not here, you go to a computer shop (that sells parts) for this stuff.

Don't forget when you've got a close estimate for your total requirements, find a power supply to ~130%. This will keep it in the most efficient zone and give you room to expand.

Example only, find the specs of your individual unit. If they're unpublished, you may wish to reconsider your choice.

I did not even see the post somehow. I can try and look at it later.

Righto, after some research and pondering, I went with a corsair RM-550

I ended up finding a better price closer to where I was staying than I was originally going to pay. Yay for me.

This PSU seemed to be a better unit than one of the other PSUs that I looked at. Research indicates that this unit comes out if the Chicony factory and I've heard good things about them.

I use my iPhone a lot when I travel as it is so much of a pain to carry my SLR with me.

Thank you all for your lovely greetings!

As most of us are on Facebook, you'll probably be aware soon, if not already, that they are updating their T's & C's and Privacy Policy
Read more here: https://www.facebook.com/about/terms-updates/?ref=notif&notif_t=data_policy_notice

I'm always skeptical of updates to these policies and always question my continued use of the service.

What do you think of the updated T's & C's?

Anything in particular to look for? Not gonna read it right this second.

Modern calculators have way more power than older video game systems.

I was told our TI-84 calculators are more powerful than what they used to send men to the moon...that's just scary...

Especially when you consider the new, full-color TI-nSpire calculators they are making kids get nowadays...

No. They will fall for it because they clicked on a get this app free link.

General end users have no clue that one system is more secure than another. That only comes in to play in the more technical circles.

Very true.

Thanks - yeah we just released that case study last week. Thanks for posting it!

FF 33 and haven't encountered any problem so far 🙂

I knew a guy who used to pull the clicking drive and pop it in a freezer for 30 minutes. Sometimes it worked.

3 years ago I had to do this for a client. I was able to retrieve 30%. And had to freeze multiple times.
