That fixed it, have to say forgot all about the shader issue, originally thought this was the issue, misinterpreted it, turns out the graphics subsystem is completely unaffected.
Wait, wasn’t it announced a couple of months back Anandtech were closing, there’s nothing about it on the About page. The forums are remaining, however. 🙂
Toast notification just out from the NAS Mgt Console, “Your disks are ready sir!” 🙂

Gotham borrows a little from Sin City, it has the same composer at least.

Oooh, enticing poster! 🙂
FTA had The Rhythm Section on again, consequently the memory was refreshed of the brittle plot once more. The feisty lead is worth a second look. 🙂
Watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for the first time, impressive, though being a long film got a little lost in some of the detail, so definitely on for a rewatch next time. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Definitely! A thread or blog, even reviving the subforum back at AfkMods would be cool. Some folks say it runs quite well on Linux – on your rig don’t think there would be much difference though. 🙂
Meanwhile, the enquiry regarding Oblivion is still shuffling through Intel’s in-pile, if they are unable to assist, an option is to refer it back to Bethesda in the hope someone can change the DC references.
It’s more than likely that most of the devs have moved on, unless someone back then put all that stuff into a VM. 😛

If there was ever a Contradiction Clinic, is there a way to make the guy form an argument as to why he prefers contradiction to argument, other than just having him denying the preference. 😛
How would you describe a bunch of tear-jerking newsletters issued from a website?
A sob-scription. 🙁

Ah, they might have cancelled the entertainment complex at Orlando, we still have the Dopeameme Institute for Pleasure Research coming into Vegas, exclusively for those of us who are dopamine rush deprived!
What kind of sea creatures avail themselves for the plate? Interestingly, the links in this SO Fish Catches Man thread provide an alternative angle(r)! 🙂
Edit: Today there was something on the radio about this arrest, had no idea it had such airing, along with a super-active Wikipedia talk page. 🙂

Used to keep boxes in case of returns, the general experience is if anything ended up faulty, the box had gone, as the unit had exceeded warranty anyway. 😛
Two items of concern with the HP which should be followed up with their support, the first being the W11 USB recovery drive left in the slot on boot. Grey/nothing screen on boot up, if the flash is disconnected the Wolf Security logo immediately shows and the machine consequently boots up.
Second is the video, experienced after hibernations and wakeups perhaps a week after a cold boot, the monitor on the display port won’t show on wakeup. Connect it to the other display port it’s there, unfortunately only half the time. It stays on for about 5 seconds, flicks off for 5 seconds, back on again for 5 seconds, then off again, ad infinitum, same if re-connected to the original DP port. Haven’t seen anything like this before – changing resolutions doesn’t change, a monitor sync issue most likely. 🙁

The Woods is on the list, and did see the Changeling many years ago, classic horror, and enjoyed the soundtrack especially.
Often wondered what it would be like if everything we receive in content is presented in a Sin City format. Especially news feeds, events of the world delivered by shadowy silhouettes in fedoras with low hoarse voices consumed by passion/hate/revenge, while brandishing nameless weapons of unknown origin and deadly accuracy. Include stills and dialogue balloons for extra effect. 🙂

Although KitchenAid are certainly expanding their design templates to accommodate an aesthetical integration in the kitchen decor, the right choice really depends on how the kitchen and contents are intended to look in the initial design phase.
Personally, all that is required from a mixer is reliability, efficiency and ease of use, – and a place to store it when done. Cleaning is also important, a self-cleaning mixer anyone?
One thing that cannot be avoided is noise, a good mixer always makes a good racket. 😛
Edit: It’s for making bread? Can it whip up a pumpernickel toast – as per Denzel?

If that guy on the sax had all the moves, they were sure busting to break out – just had to call 00111Loverboy for a primer! 🙂
Fast Five was fun, and the soundtrack didn’t disappoint:

In shelling the breeze, lets mention the collection of nice utilities on CodeProject, for example Intellifile is a shell replacement for explorer written in C.
A little hiccup occurred after logging to the site- have you seen the error before?

Oh, Falk is terrific in Colombo, too. Pencil in the Spielberg directed première classic “Murder By the Book” along with “Suitable for Framing” and “Candidate for Crime” for superb entertainment. 🙂
Problem was, the original b/w Village/Children of the Damned movies set the damned bar too high. 😛
Contrary to the criticisms of The Last Castle and a personal innate aversion to war flicks, it was entertaining enough not to invite any attention or even awareness to its flaws. Redford, despite many directorial flops directed himself rather well here and held the dynamism between the characters to keep the interest and tension alive. Point five of a recommendation. 😛

Oh my Zsh looks like a really friendly interface for terminal wrox, with the added bonus of batteries included, they say. 🙂
Yeah, a spaceship simulator to navigate the wide open parsecs, guess that’s all in NMS – heaps of others around like Universe Sandbox for instance.
Hibernation has reared its hiber-finicky visage yet again, now N++ will drop loaded files. 🙁
Oh, and this documents the origins of the Bourne Shell, fascinating.

Received some birthday scratch lottery tickets upon which there was a note saying that either their website or the Android app could scan them for you, revealing the results that way. Good idea so thought, and to save a bunch of nails promptly went about doing so.
The durst scan window in the app was maximised, yet did not pick up any of the numbers or bar codes. Upon failure, it recommended a scan back at the website, tiny window, and unsurprisingly, same result. Lighting was not an issue, even post-eventide, so must be something with their OCR processing, who knows. No problems at all with the QR scanner btw.

[DeVaultSetter]

Yes it was, and they included evidence of the battery having been vetted with an attached note entitled “Battery Qualification Test” revision “123”, tabulating Date, Time, Operator IDs, Model, Serial numbers, Voltage and Impedance all signed off. Quite weighty as well, so transit costs may prohibit any return if it turns out to be a dud.

Yeah, Scorsese’s yuppie nightmare cycle sounds like a fair addition to the burgeoning hamster wheel backlog over here. 🙂
Pretty sure that version of Firecracker showed up on FTA about a year ago, she was good in the action scenes at least.
Hope they bring Lawnmower Man to FTA here, anything from a Stephen King story is worth a gander. 🙂
Solace is a movie that got squinched by a meagre production schedule it seems. Just a bit more time in revisions and edits, even retakes to get it over the line, as it now stands, the pregnant pauses, bum lines, unexplainable or inconsequential events keep it at C grade. Still, Anthony Hopkins tells a joke. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Yes, seems OK, now have to test the rig on it. 🙂
Oh, and beneath the molded pulp packaging was, yes, the clear A3 sized instruction sheet for installation. Compare that to their Battery Cartridge Replacement Guide, being a tiny image that, despite taking a while to load in the browser, is still small enough to obscure the doc id (990-1603V) and date of publication (10/2005) at the top left. Directly under that are listed the model numbers followed by the visual instruction guides for the Back-UPS RS/XS units, which include the one in question here, fortunately.
Interestingly, the flip side of the hard-copy document also has a similar set of instructions for other models, for anyone wishing to download the unreadable and non-existent instructions for their legacy UPS’s, good luck with that. 🙂
It can serve as a quasi-knowledge resource so long as the search facility is active, otherwise it’s either Google if the pages have been spidered, or trawling thread by vaulting thread in the forlorn hope of locating any trace of treasure!

While searching through Dostips (mentioned previous page) came across this post:

DOS is an old operating system. DISK OPERATING SYSTEM. What you mean is batch is old but in reality as far as scripting languages and shells go it is not even as old as CSH or TCSH or Korn for that matter.

He forgot to mention Thompson on primordial Unix back in ’71. The only recollection of it now is the trusty Abort Retry Fail:

Hilarious. In that case, the “Tips” in DosTips isn’t Tips at all, maybe stands for “Taken in Playful Sense” or something between pejorative and playful? It’s kind of existential, help them out please. 😛

In Windows the only option provided is FAT32, could try an NFTS formatted flash for Recovery, could it be their program would actually query the file system?
No recovery required yet, as everything is fine now, as the deck chairs on the Titanic are all aligned and looking very comfortable. 🙂

Just succumbed the urge to oscillate from the thread regarding the blessed UPS batteries, they have eventually arrived, yay, as there happened to a bit of a hold-up. So was prompted at receipt of delivery to submit a review to Google, which was done, and as it has turned out, now showing at Google Maps.

Giant robots fighting fires even? First thing that comes up is the Dragon Firefighter which has seen some improvements:

Simon is funny, wonderful if he could pop up in a feed – never checked out theRegister before, cool stuff, doesn’t look as if they have a newsletter at this time.
A feeble attempt in worming out a new angle:

Dark Matter May Be a Deformed BLACK Mirror Universe, Scientists Say

Speaking of games, on the top of the bucket list is Disco Elysium, and yay, a few mods to explore. 🙂
