With 5 tabs open in FF, including pandora, I am at 500Mb of memory for FF.

Sort your processes by name and add up all the chrome ones and see what that comes out to with the same tabs open as you have in FF. My guess is you have a bad plugin/extension in FF.

Try the video chat feature. Seriously.

Haha,

My dad has difficulty with ANYthing technical, and even he could get it to work, so for that situation it was perfect. He would need help creating a skype account and downloading/installing, etc... or getting to the right part of Google Hangouts, etc.

So, in that respect, it's perfect since there is ZERO setup or account use.

Synology showcases company's first router - Myce.com


Synology has demonstrated the company’s first router at Cebit, currently held in Hannover, Germany. The router with model number RT1900C offers 802.11AC Wifi and has a SD cardreader. The router should be equipped with Synology Router Manager, an operating system that closely resembles Synology’s NAS operating system, DSM.

According to the German website Golem, the model demonstrated at Cebit was a prototype running Disk Station Manager 5.2 beta. Chances are big that Synology Router Manager will eventually have similar capabilities as DSM 5.2 which is available for current NAS devices of the company. Because the router also features an USB port and a SD cardreader, the router could get NAS capabilities on the wired and wireless network.

Synology specifies throughputs of up to 1.9Gbit/s for dual band 802.11AC Wifi. Also beamforming, a technology developed to send wifi signals more efficient will be supported by the RT1900C.

Synology didn’t want to disclose an exact release date, but the router should become available later this year.

So apparently Sourceforge is shit now. Taking over company pages on their site and injecting shitware into the installers. Notice Firefox isn't run by Mozilla anymore now run by sf-editor

Are you intentionally trying to misread my posts lately, or what?

The FF page on SF is now run by SF and not Mozilla

Just like nmap before it

I remember when Plextor was the mac daddy of the CD Reader/Writer world.
My PC had two drives in it so I could copy disks faster, and they had a SCSI interface because I didn't play around.

It was an Iso Daniel, a Knoppix bootable distro with DriveimageXML on it in case I ever need to do a restore of an OS drive.

Ah, I recently made a customized Hiren's boot cd, that has the latest version 15.2 with better driver support for newer PCs but still has Norton Ghost which HBCD removed after version 10.6.

Gotcha. Take a look at DriveimageXML if you are looking for a super simple backup program that does good simple backups.

Windows 95 turns 20 years old today.

I still remember that day. I hauled ass over to Egghead Software to get my copy after work.

I remember where I was too, working for a software company and we were excited to get all the floppies to install it.

The original song for the commercial was supposed to be "End of the World" by REM but they wouldn't "sell out" at the time, so they went with "Start me Up" by Rolling Stones, though a lot of people had fun with the "you make a grown man cry" lyric.

What impressed me the most with Windows 95 was that it included the Buddy Holly, by Weezer music video. I was impressed at how well that played on my PC. Smooth video playback was just starting to come around then.

So I watched 4k for the first time the other day at Costco on a probably 60" Samsung. HOLY SHIT BALLS! I seriously could not believe it. It's kind of like eating some mushrooms then watching TV, whatever that's like.

It's probably the cerveza! Maybe it was the small operation you had recently that made things clearer. (too soon?)

4K displays are legit and price isn't too bad, but the source needs to be 4K to enjoy it. Plus some 4K displays don't have full-4K inputs, which is crazy.. so be careful if you see a deal pop up. Check the HDMI and USB spec on them.

One of our clients got a new PC in March the drive started failing shortly after, so in June we called HP got a replacement sent to us and I cloned it using Norton Ghost.

Fast forward to this week and we're having drive problems again. This time I buy a new drive from BB ( Tiger Direct ) and clone from the HP replacement drive.

I look at the date of manufacture for the drive that HP sent in June and it was 02/2012!

WTF! 3.5 year old drive sent as a replacement! Fuck HP! I know they all do this refurb bullshit but I think we're going to start just replacing with new drives as soon as we see drive problems. Because it's a new drive and not a refurb POS and there's less downtime, we can have them up in a couple hours instead of waiting for the refurb drive to arrive.

Nope. It's legitimately amazing as you know, at least with the right source which was a Samsung demo video I believe. I know there isn't a ton of 4k content yet. I'm not buying one anytime soon. I had just never see it before.

Don't be surprised if one is on your wall by the end of the year. I bought a new LCD in the past year, right when 4K was starting to fill the market. It was a tough choice, but I figured I still had a few years before it was a little more of a need than a want. The Sammy 4Ks at the time still had HDMI 1.2.. I think 4K support didn't start until 1.3B / 2.0. That's probably all resolved now, but I was lilke.. whhuuutttt.

Supposedly they sold EVO kits to fix the matter.. total bs.
