I went to work yesterday and today. I still have a headache and my eyes still hurt but I'm out of sick time. I only get 1.54 hours per pay period (2 weeks). 5 days a year is not much and I hate using vacation time in place of sick days.
If I get the energy this weekend I may run to Microcenter and get a new PSU for my sons Dell. I'm really curious to see if I get the same results with a new 850 watt PSU. Been setting up PCs in our Brazil office remotely. It's kind of interesting. We image an English XP image to the PC and then I create Portuguese applications to push down to them. It would help if I knew the language. ![]() |

Why drive down, just order it online. Cheaper. I get better prices from new egg every time I look for one.

This is true...but I just love browsing the merchandise in person
It's only a 10 minute drive...I live right off Normandale (hwy100) and Old Shakopee, so it's fun to cruise up and look things over. ![]() |

I have only been there once but i could browse in that place for hours. I thought they would be more aggressive with their complete system SB pricing. I see they did knock down the chip price by $70 off of list. Cheers

Holy smokes man, you on straight fiber ??? Nice numbers !! Cheers Cannot say for sure, I have not install hot-spots and those who has, has done some very excellent job. I think those are physically outside, it's kind of R&D -stuff and WLAN's comes and goes on continuous phase and I have never/ever anybody fasten anything to anywhere. Finally those links are on fiber of course... This new one is sure fast, faster than my laptops HD. I'm using it mostly to download movies to UBS -stick, so I can past video store after work ![]() ![]() |

Congrats. I switched over to ubuntu but haven't tried the GPU yet. Anyone know how to get boinc to not run as a service without uninstalling boinc then reinstalling?

What is your reason to not run as a service in Ubuntu? Just curious. It's the only way boinc will allow to use the GPU to crunch. Was the same in win7. Had to reinstall it in win7 without running as a service, worked like a charm.
