I really don't use this account anymore and I don't see that ever changing. Just trying to close out accounts I no longer use. Please delete me when you can, Admin. Thanks.

Thank you for your help on this.

Holy cow, that is nuts! I just got BF3 and I did make a post in the Origin Forums regarding the lousy game connection process. And I specifically complained about the annoying "You have been...

Ditto.

Gorgeous! Great pictures.

All right, I got the TouchPad connected to my wife's laptop via Bluetooth last night. Unfortunately, the laptop only sees the TP as an audio/communications device and not any sort of storage system....

I know. :( I have horrific short-term memory. As I tell my wife, "If you don't email it to me or make sure it's in my Google Calendar, it'll never get done."

Crap, I forgot to test the Bluetooth file transfer last night. I'm emailing myself to do it tonight.

Well, I know my TouchPad can connect via Bluetooth to my wife's laptop. I'll have to try file transfers that way. Might work.

Oh yes, an ereader would be far, far better for ebooks than *any*...

Oh, I agree with you. The "cloud" is a bunch of nonsense for "file storage on a server". On my PC I can upload files directly to ZumoDrive via Windows Explorer. ZumoDrive actually creates a...

Oh, no no no! I think you misread what I said.

So far no one's found a solution to share files other than using the USB cable OR a cloud storage service like ZumoDrive/ZumoCast or Box.net. The...

I am a regular over at the Precentral.net forums and I have seen some people asking about networking as well. So far no one's found a solution to share files other than using the USB cable or a...

I don't know yet. I haven't seen anything on it that would look like it communicates with a PC. But, again, it's all brand new to me and I just don't know. Are you talking about network file...

It's been quite good so far. I've been an avid user of webOS for over two years now, so I just slid right into it easily. My wife, who is not a techie at all, also got the hang of it quickly. She...

People will continue to do things with their own money that you do not approve of. I knew what I was getting when I ordered the TouchPad. And now that I have it and have used it for a while, I got...

Why would I want another laptop? I don't need two.

I ordered a 32GB HP TouchPad on Sunday. It should arrive someday this week. I got it for $549.99, free shipping and no tax. Pretty sweet. Not to mention since I still have (and use) an old Palm...

Good lookin' board!

Whoops! You know, I respect that guy because he kept his ideals even though it may very well lead to his death, which in this case, it did. I can respect a man like that. I learned long ago that...

Indeed, happy birthday, America! I hope you have many more.

Holy cow! That's huge money for those cards. Yeah, you're probably right. Ebay is a better place to sell old tech gear.

Yikes! That would be bad. Thanks, didn't know that.

I put it up on Ebay today: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230642555384

Canned air. Man, I can't believe I hadn't thought about that! I have never actually bought canned air before, seriously. I've always done it the hard way with alcohol and Q-tips. I think canned...

Over time I've noticed my idle temps of my AMD 6950 have slowly increased since I installed it in early May. I've looked at the card and I honestly can't figure out how to get the fan assembly off...

Drool!! Count me in. I'd love to pair this Gigabyte 6950 with my MSI 6950.

Yep, PCIe.

Whoops, sorry. I must have completely misread your earlier post. Thanks for clarifying.

You doubled your FPS?!

Price drop. $70 --> $60

I still haven't had a chance to do any Folding. I got home very late last night and spent only 10 minutes on my PC. Then I brushed my teeth and hit they hay. We'll see about tonight.

That's awesome! Those would be so useful. It'll be like living in the movies with data displayed on our mirrors in the morning while we shave. :)

We'll see. If they've retooled the way F@H interacts with AMD cards, we could see quite an improvement. From what I've read that's going to take considerable effort on the part of F@H due to the...

Ha! I'll join it tonight when I get home from work.

I should be able to test it out soon. I always forget to leave my PC on at night to do some Folding. I'll try to remember to do it tonight.

Heh, I know who you're talking about! I have one of those, too. Always spoiling my fun.

Haha! Lactose the Intolerant. Awesome.

Haha! Again, count me in for all the great wonders of a holodeck.

Hear, hear! I would love to have a holodeck. Then I could eat all the fake food I want, all the fake beer, wine and Scotch, and not worry about any negative health implications. Hooray!

I see. Sounds interesting. Thanks for the information. I never knew there was anything like this out there.

How many surveys have you done to get that $100 in Amazon gift cards?

Ohhhh. No, I never used one of those ENV Variables.

Duke's been gone for so long, with so many delays, this game has completely fallen off my radar. I don't even care anymore. I was excited for DNF back in...oh, 1998 I suppose.

I hear you. I don't have much time to fold either. I don't like leaving my PC on 24/7 and when I am home I like to do some gaming, so the video card is in use a lot of the time. Which leaves...

Nice. Perfect folding weather.

Hooray! That's good to hear. From what I've experienced, it seems to me the console client is very slow at churning out work units on the 6950.

Yes, I can get my card to run at about 95% to 97% load. I did see it a few times at 99%. The only environmental variable I did is "-forcegpu ati_r800".

Dang. That's some warm weather. Hot weather and I do not get along well. It actually makes me angry. I just sweat and sweat and sweat. It just makes me so mad.

Now that's dedication. Playing a game and surfing the Bjorn3D forums at the same time.

Exactly. Turn down the heat, crank up F@H to compensate.

That would be your 6970. :D Hehe. I hope you find some time to do it. I haven't had much time for Folding, either, as you can see in my signature box. But I get to it when I can...I don't leave...

I've babied this card. Every 3-6 months I took it out of my case and cleaned the fan and cooling vents with Q-tips and alcohol. This card has never been overclocked or run any higher than 65...

It should work fine. But as far as speed goes, I really have no idea how fast it should or should not be. Good luck!

You're welcome. I still don't know which client is faster. I've just stuck with the v6.41 client. It works and I crunch through work units...so I guess it's ok.

Ahh, then I know what you mean about wanting a new card. The 4850 was good, but after four years it just couldn't keep up. Good luck!



Indeed it is. I can crank up lots of games to max...

You're welcome. Don't feel bad about not having a 6xxx card. I just got my 6950 last week after using a single ATI 4850 for four years.

It took me a while to figure out how to get it going on my AMD 6950, but the final implementation is very simple. It just took me a long time getting there.

Quick disclaimer: I did all of this on...

I've had a Palm Pre since its launch in June of 2009. I love webOS, hate the hardware. Looking forward to upgrading, hopefully, to a Pre 3 this summer.
