@scottalanmiller I should write a script on it 😛

Not a bad idea. Make a collection of links to everyone's first post!

Wow is all I can say - and that's a federal law?

well... state law, we are no federation. this is something put into the labor law by labor unions, when they talk/fight/do politics with government every time labor law has to be renewed.

talking about number of packages, this has always been my reference:

if a distro has it packaged it is quite sure they have anything 😛

both debian and suse have it.

So... here's an update. I called my local shops to get some pricing for this service... but most of them asking for $60+tax or more. The cheapest I got is $45 an hour for a somewhat shady craiglist post.

My thought right now is to get a new S3 from Newegg, do a mobo swap to get the pictures out, then return the device in its original(ish) condition. What are your recommendation?

I popped the broken phone opens, and I do not see any warranty sticker anywhere.... anyone has any experience on this?

I've got some stuff to catch up on. Thanks for updating this thread, I probably wont get a chance to do this till the end of the week.

But for those, I'll usually use an AMD Radeon card for the video editing, or an NVIDIA card for gaming.

This is madness if the end user has Premier Pro for software. Nvidia cards with CUDA acceleration are a beast. You'd never look at Radeon with Premier Pro.

I've been out of touch with who does what better these days. Video cards now are orders of magnitude more powerful than the last time I built a video editing rig. I'd definitely have to brush up on my research if I were building a modern one.

Don"t use USB disks.

If you want a USB disk that can be removed, use a NAS with a USB port that can replicate data in a certain folder to the USB.

Or use a NAS with Starwind VTL so that you get the behaviour of tapes. And the protection of RAID.

I'm going to have to look at that

It's a cool product.

I just face palmed reading that first paragraph:
New features
LVM RAID support
One of the biggest features of blivet-gui 2.0 is support of LVM RAID. When adding a new LV, you can now choose RAID level for it. LVM supports the same RAID types mdraid does but you can choose different level for every logical volume so it's more flexible than using LVM on top of an mdraid.

LVM still uses md raid, just like you would normally.

That said, people like their gui for all the things, why not have yet another tool to manage everything.

It could be a lot different...

Wake up with the sun. Eat a little something. Scare away / stop some bears and wolves. Work on your house/hut. Hike to the fresh water river or water hole to bring back some drinking water. Go out hunting for food for the family to survive. Be back before sundown with hopefully a nice catch. Prepare and cook it. Use other parts for clothing/accessories/tools. Sing around the camp fire, go to bed.

Thanks. Kids made papers in church that I'm hanging up.

@scottalanmiller NO Way!

One of my all-time favorite classics and will never get old!

AoE3? The biggest problems were how much less intense it was and how simplified compared to 2.

No, the original AoE. But AoE 2 was great too.

OH! Then I get it.

CloudAtCost has completely revoked their "free for life" products that people have already paid for in full and is now simply charging for them - even ones that customers already own. Customers are now being extorted to pay annually for something they were sold specifically so that they would not have to pay for in this way. The service is no longer a scam on the technical level, it is now a full scam on the billing and marketing level as well.

Seems like they could have handled that better. Sounds like perhaps the real issue is that the environment is a little bit toxic. Too many "they'd see this as rude" things that leave them free to do whatever they want.

@RojoLoco said in What do you listen to at the Gym?:

I like the above suggestions (Baroque, metal), and I also sometimes like uptempo electronic stuff (specifically jungle / drum n bass, because I'm old school like that). Bassdrive.com plays drum n bass 24/7, DJs from all over the globe, no commercials.

edit: really, anything that you get into, any music you can lose yourself in, makes for great workout music.

I really like dubstep metal type music. I See Stars has some cool songs.

This is an insane story

@JaredBusch Wow.. thanks.. they keep making it sound like I'll save money.. haha.. I guess maybe on the cleaning stuff they sell i would.. who knows.. hahah

Well they save you time, and time is money, so... maybe that is their logic.

Can be a ton of saved time for a SMB that orders a lot through Amazon.
