» Raid Questions
Hi there! I am considering in buying a new raid for my server: Should I buy 6x 15k 73gb drives or 3x 146gb 15k drives? I want to build a raid5 for web/db hosting of vb. What are your suggestions?If you want to be using a raid5, then it makes more sense to use 6 smaller ones. You could even set 1 as a hotspare if the controller supports that.raid 5 isn't that suited to vB use you'd be better off with raid 10 with 4 - 6 drivesHi there!

» Who is an artist that uses alot of colors in a neat way?
In art class i'm doing a self portrait and its 32" x 22" and I wanted to use an artist influence, I traced out every last color difference in my face so the sketch looks like its in Camo. I want to really experiment with color so I dont want the paint to match my real skin color. Is there any artist that would be a good influence? thanksIf you're going to be influenced, it might not be the best idea to use such a well-known and often copied artist as Van Gogh or Warhol. You may find the works of Corneille inspirational, especially "Ton Visage Jardin" http://www.artrades.com/galleria-singola... (currently at a bargain basement β¬12.000).

My database is growing fairly quickly. In about 3 months, it's gone from about 700,000Kb to 1.2Gb. My questions are: 1. Are there any size limitations vs performance to watch out for with respect to the database? The search function, for example, is a bit slow. 2.

» Sci-fi story in magazine or antholgy
I am looking for the location and name of a Sci-fi story , I think published in a magazine or collection, about a man who thought his wife was replaced bt a doppelgangerThis is a common theme in science fiction. Can you recall any details about the story?In the story, the man and wife were at a party, and the wife lit a cigarette. The husband was suspicious because his wife did not smoke.This question seems to have expired, but I think I found the answer: the story is "Save As" by Michael Marshall Smith, and it appeared in the January 1997 issue of Interzone.

» Simple Static Text Q
Hi all, Just a wee question. I thought if you used static text that the font used would be sort of embedded, or turned into a type of graphic, and the end user didn't need the font on their computer when viewing the swf online? Is this meant to be the case? I thought it only mattered if I was using dynamic or input text. I put this up with "Kroeger" static text and it comes up as "Times". www.astromech.co.uk I'll just break the text apart or embed it if I'm wrong about the static text thing. Cheers. The ModelTo embed a font, rightclick in the library and select "New Font...". Pick the font of your choice, name it and click ok. When you return to the properties of your textfield, there should be a new fontname available, usually suffixed by...... - 2009-07-04

Hello, I searched the forum to get help with my problem and I found out that it has to do with the fatx limitations but I could not find an answer to my problem: I try to transfer a directory structure with files (pictures) to my xbox.

I can't find any setting in FileZilla which will fix this. Can anybody help?

» Tornado Detection
Has any chaser here ever actually tried this? YOU HAVE AT LEAST ONE TORNADO DETECTOR IN YOUR HOME. TORNADO DETECTION INSTRUCTIONS First-----warm up your TV set and tune in channel 13. Darken the screen to almost black (use the brightness control). Second----turn to channel 2 and leave the volume control down (unless you have a broadcaster on that channel). Your tornado detector is now in operation. As a storm approaches, lightning will produce momentary white bands of varying widths across the screen (color sets produce a colored band). A tornado within 15 and 20 miles will produce a totally white screen and remain white (color on color sets). Should this occur, turn off your TV set, take your portable radio and go to a place of ...... - 2009-07-04

I was taking a bunch of shots last night of my dog playing with 3 other dogs. You really see the difference of fast glass vs slow glass when you shoot dogs running around. I'm thinking of getting the EF 28-135 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS(used my neighbors) because its around my price range but not until after my wedding. Now for my question. I noticed during some of the crazy running a lot of the shots were blurry and unusable but some of the shots were quite interesting and cool looking.

My Chamberlain Liftmaster 41ac050-1 won't close every time I go out of the garage in the morning for about 2 minutes! However it closes normally later, it's only that 1st time that it opens in the morning when it doesn't close and it's really annoying having to have to click the button for about 2 minutes so the garage door closes. Any ideas how to fix this? Must be a some sort of settingThe first person's answer is very true. One other possibility is that when you are sitting in front of your door pressing the button you may be in a "dead" zone where the remote frequency for some reason isn't communicating well enough with the opener.

I got a Canon AE-1 for christmas from Jessops (biggest UK camera shops for anyone who doesn't know) and am having some problems with it.

They make money by booking you on jobs and taking a % of your earnings. There will be stylists on set for your clothing, hair and makeup -- all paid for by the client booking you. These are never your costs. Your only cost will be getting to the job. The agency will make money by taking a % of your earnings from every job they book you on. The top agencies to ...... - 2009-07-04

» New book: Iketenai-Nippon
Hey there! When I heard about it today, I was quite surprised too: A gaijin has written a book with the title: Iketenai-Nippon Nihonjin-No Honto-No Tokoro (in English: "Why Japanese nerves") It seems, the release in Japan was quite successful. That΄s why it is also available in German now: Darum nerven Japaner Der ungeschminkte Wahnsinn des japanischen Alltags I dont think, that it is already available in English. But if you can read either Japanese or German, I think it might be quite interesting (for further information see http://www.noiman.com/)Because I find it quite offensive to publish a book with such a title, you too?

» The Letter? - "Observations on MLS' handling of Referees"
I am wondering if anyone else on this list has received a copy of a letter written by a former USSF Referee Offical about the state of refereeing in Major League Soccer. It is dated Sept 24, 2002. I was forwarded this letter and asked not to show it publicly, but I know that many others in my area have also seen it and been alarmed by its content and charges against MLS. If the letter is real, what it claims scares the hell out of me. I will not go into its content in case it is a scam, spoof, goof or false in any way. I won't also name the person that wrote it.

» Diabetic: Can I have a fourth meal or snack?
Hello. I'm a recently diagnosed type 1 diabetic and I just recently switched insulin plans from 2 high unit shots a day, to one shot before each meal and two small background shots a day. On my old plan I could have a snack every night before bed, but now that I give myself injections for every meal I'm not sure what I should do about a snack or fourth meal, and it's to late to call or ask my doctor. I know my insulin to carb ratio and everything, so I can give myself an injection before the snack if need be. Any help?Yes, if you inject some fast-acting before the snack, provided you are on a non-peaking long-acting insulin like Lantus, you should be fine. Have you looked into an insulin pump?

Several other countries are working to develop vaccines that could be used against a pandemic flu strain. The vaccine was made using samples of the H5N1 virus taken from bird flu patients in Indonesia, which has recorded 63 human deaths so far - almost a third of all deaths worldwide, officials said.

P.s. this is with both flash and no flash.Without seeing the photos, it may be hard to know what happened.:sexywink:Was it while reviewing the pictures after shooting?

I'm fairly new to the Portland, OR marketplace after just moving here from the midwest. We had to close our studio there due to the economic conditions... bounced checks, charge backs on credit cards (disputes for free pics), etc. It was horrid. Now that we're out here, I'm noticing quite a bit of saturation in the marketplace and would love to hear some feedback on this area in regards to operating conditions, pricing, "models" (are there any REAL ones here or just more scammers??), and what's hot and what's not.

» Where can I buy mini Christmas puddings?
I'm after bite-sized Christmas puddings, but I can't find them anywhere! There are lots of recipes for them online which would suggest that they are quite popular, but does anyone know who sells them, either online or in a London-based store? Many thanks in advance.I don't think you can buy them unless in a specialised shop. Waitrose had the last years some in the party range and they were disgusting. You can buy christmas puds flavoured truffles who actually taste very nice and look like mini puds. Even Lakeland hasn't got some.

» Bj Penn is fighting GSP in Jan, 2009?
If penn wins the fight and holds both belts, would that not make him the best pound for pound fighter in the world. I think it would.P4P ranking is all subjective. It's so irrelevant.Yeah, BJ Penn is fighting GSP in January of 2009 at UFC 94. If Penn wins he will be considered the pound for pound best fighter. But, you still have Anderson Silva and Fedor to talk about. P4P is just something to talk about, doesn't mean anything. holding two belts, from two different weight classes, at the same time....that is a great argument for #1 PFP fighter. I say "yes" and it will happen. go PENN The point is moot. GSP will dominate him. If he does win one could certainly make that arguement.

How many "undead" gimmicks have we seen? Hundreds. However, there is only one that has lasted for over 20 years. How many people have a Wrestlemania winning streak like that? No one. The streak alone should be legendary. The guy's what they call a sleeper, because he's been hanging around in the big time for that long. He didn't drop down to the independent circuit then come back. He's just always been around. If they choose to retire him with a loss at Wrestlemania, it would be one of the stupidest things Vince has done to date. However, the man has done some ridiculously stupid stuff before.

They actually did contact N.W.A. about their song "F*** tha Police" but N.W.A. is more gangsta rap not socially conscious rap.None at all....and I don't believe the FBI were afraid of Malcolm X either.

I really want to model but i can't afford a agent, how do i find a modeling job?????What do you mean you can't afford an agent? A real agent does not cost you anything. Your only cost should be transportation to/from the agency - that's it. Real agencies do not charge you for registration fees, competitions, classes, website listings, photography or anything else.
