When I saw the pic, the first thing I thought of was...wow, if some of those are androids...they should have virtualized.

Very glad I got away from TWC. Google Fiber FTW. had a good laugh when they emailed me a promo "It's a great time to come back to TWC"...ahahahahaha...no.

Another KC guy here with GF. First crew came by and strung fiber along the utility poles along the back property line. Fiber was then strung through the air (just like power/phone/coax). The only problem we had was with Crew 2 who had to drill through my concrete house. They worked with...

Here in Kansas CIty, TWC has taken a big hit. After getting Google Fiber, we turned our equipment at one of their two physical stores in the area. They had 5 reps taking returns and they had quite a line. Took us 20 min just to get to one of them and we were done in a couple minutes.

Wow, that is amazing that you tested that far. It is an older bios based board, I may have to try to play around. Because I'm conscientious about a group that has severely limited funds. I'm donating my time, and moving to another port that works just fine seemed like the right answer. 1...

that is a good idea, I'll look into that.

the motherboard's onboard raid has had one failed port already and so I just don't trust it. Also, the motherboard is a socket 940...790 chipset I believe. I don't know if there are raid drivers & management software for Win2012. Window's native software raid does not raid the boot...

I'm admin for a very small non-profit. I built them a server years ago, but as I'm upgrading to Server 2012 Essentials, I'm also going to move the drives to a PCIe Raid card. Looking through Newegg offerings, for the lower end cards (SATA II, 2 internal ports)...the highest OS level advertised...

I was thinking the same thing

I don't really see a lot of ads on facebook. however, when I do, I always mark them as sexually explicit. Did you know I find M&M's sexually explicit? :D

I've been running my own server for a few years now (still have a gmail account for stuff that I want to be sure doesn't get filtered) using HMail. http://www.hmailserver.com/ If you run it off of your residential connection, your ISP likely blocks outgoing mail, so you'll have to config it...

Google Fiber starts in my area this fall....c'mon Google!

I got two new drives and put them in yesterday. I must have had a setting on in the utility to automatically start rebuilding, as I booted up with one of the new drives in, it was already rebuilding with only an 80GB partition. Rebuild on that took 5hrs. I staged the 2nd drive and had the...

I think I'll go for the mirror idea. I'm not too concerned about partition size. the drives are now 80GB and we aren't even using 30GB yet. I normally have folders in root that have junk, installs, and folder copies...maybe that's a good use for the extra storage. Does rebuilding of the...

Long story short, I built a "server" for a non-profit years ago using a Gigabyte GA-MA69G-S3H. I wanted just a tad more redundancy than normal builds, so I spent a bit more and setup a Raid 1 with the onboard SB600 controller with two Seagate ST380815AS drives. One of the drives died and now...
