Re: [MBZ] Apple$$$
You should make fun of him for going to *those* websites... ;) It turns out when I mentioned (days ago now) that I needed to re-install I was wrong. I thought I'd gotten an OS or anti-virus update that buggered the render engine on my video editing software. That used to be a fairly common problem back when I was in support. As it happens that machine as a 128MB video card which is not powerful enough to run my new 24 monitor at 1920x1080 AND run the render engine at the same time. I hadn't realized that the app offloaded all of the render engine to the GPU. So I'm in the market for a new, more powerful video card. Actually I have one on my desk at work that might fit the bill... -Curt Date: Sun, 5 Feb 2012 16:00:57 -0500 From: Ed Booher edboo...@gmail.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] Apple$$$ Message-ID: caabo36ybjn8j0gxg9m1skustu8lggjhqqecnlmqc4yx+gv8...@mail.gmail.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 1:51 PM, Curt Raymond curtlud...@yahoo.com wrote: If you're not needing to reinstall you're not working hard enough.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Mac NAS options
To the best of my knowledge, Drobos work quite well connected directly to the client. Current models even have things like eSATA interfaces, which will be pretty fast. Be careful in that the NAS model (DroboFS) does not have a local interface, only Ethernet. That would prevent you from swapping back and forth from local to network connections.

This is actually the one place that Vista shined so well that Microsoft was forced to change it in 7. If you have a Vista install DVD, you have every single Vista version ever. The key you use to install tells the installer *which* version of Vista to unlock.Best. Idea. Ever! As noted below, XP did *not* do this. In fact, not only did it not do this, it did not do this between revisions either. Ergo, you have a machine that came factory with XP professional Rev. 1.

I play with expensive stuff at work all day long and don't feel like dealing with it at home. I completely disagree that the NAS with RAID is the backup. What if you delete some files by accident? What if the NAS controller fries and you have no way of retrieving the data? If you delete files by accident, there is no guarantee that you've copied to cold disks recently enough to restore. Live, spinning discs with shadow copy is my answer to that statement. My NAS controller fries? Using a known, name brand controller that can be easily replaced, or barring that, software RAID which while slower cares absolutely nothing for the controller to which the drives are connected. Also, as I mentioned previously, in the process of building a mirror RAID at parent's house which, when finished, will build VPN tunnel daily and perform file replication. Also, once I've built the second RAID, can connect parent's machine and reverse replicate so both locations have live, spinning, offsite backup. My solution is to have a second set of disks that I keep off site. This protects me not only against hardware failure or accidental deletions, but also theft and fire. Yes, and I've had cold discs die on me, too. Whether it was down time of the motor, or they somehow came in contact with magnetic field. Go to spin them up, only to have them with so many bad sectors that they are useless. In my opinion, far better to have spinning discs that are being monitored and can tell you when they are about to die. The only other thing I would like to improve upon is to have some kind cloud storage for my desktop.

There is no cold storage solution I've ever seen that is 100% reliable and foolproof. Every single one of them has little gotchas. But, modern drives with S.M.A.R.T. monitoring will tell you as soon as the OS finds a place it can't read, or if the motor is slowing down or any number of other things. Way back in the way back, MFM discs were very unreliable. A tape that might not work when you went after it was actually almost preferable, because when an MFM drive grenaded, it was immediate. Went from working, to basically not. But the technology for keeping discs spinning has gotten far better, and much cheaper. Personal preference and all, I understand.

This is why I do not use WiFi. It would be a benefit, however, with our upcoming move of my office to another part of the house. The same can be said for any internet connection. If you have WPA2-AES on your AP, and use RADIUS, there aren't any known ways of getting data out of the air. A good site plan will keep most of the signal in the house, and you can set up a secondary AP/VAP with less restrictive or no security that does not have access to your important data/computers for running into the back yard etc. Might even want to go with an optional WiFi add in card for said switch and move fully to a business class level. Then you could even add in SSL certificate encryption to the WiFi. How does this work? How is it implemented? Most APs will do it, at least SOHO-class or better - you would need WPA2-Enterprise and a back-end RADIUS server for what Ed describes. The certificates are TLS, or you could just use PEAP and log in. Practically TLS is easier to use if your hardware is locked down, PEAP is better if you think the computer itself might wander off. You could also do WPA2-PSK if you don't want to have to maintain a separate authentication server, which honestly is what I'd recommend. It's not great for enterprise because you should change the passphrase occasionally, but for a half-dozen clients I think the benefits of the external authentication server aren't there. Most consumer APs will do WPA2-PSK. Note that in either WPA case you need to be using AES, anything else is a waste of time. Is it possible to run an encrypted VPN over WiFi, thus having a more secure link? Both WPA2 and VPN are probably using an AES variant, so it isn't strictly more secure as long as your network is clean. In my view, the best practice is to keep the data itself secure (HTTPS, VPN) when necessary, and files encrypted at the source if they contain private information - the network isn't really trustworthy unless you have some serious hardware and time to monitor it. Even with a good antenna I don't have signal at the street, and I have a bunch of APs. Definitely use SSL for anything that might be sensitive, DNSSEC if you can, use static IPs for computers that might be subject to some kind of DHCP-injection attack, put all data behind a username and password, change passwords occasionally, and follow the other standard information security practices. End-to-end encryption like VPN, or encrypting individual files, is the way to go if you need to do something really safe, but that should be true whether you are logging in to work over the WAN or saving financial data onto a NAS - for all you know, someone has already compromised your printer, done an ARP injection, and is logging the ethernet from your PC as I type. :) In my view the only reason to avoid wireless nowadays is performance; 11n is okay, but still performs worse than a 100Mbps link in most cases; hardly good enough for realtime media streaming. Works well enough for internet access but real data transfer still needs a wire.

Re: [MBZ] OT: anyone know about commercial cooking equipment?
Another thing to consider - it just came to mind - you would also need to check on the volume (of gas) this thing requires, as if it's substantial, you might have to increase the size of your gas line to the appliance. They will probably list the consumption in BTU/hour or CFH. This is always a big deal in the generator business, as people see a 1 NPT inlet fitting, and they think they can run a line 50 feet and the generator will still have adequate volume at full load. They usually find this out the hard way, like when they fire up the generator and all of their pilot lights go out. Dan On Feb 6, 2012, at 2:53 PM, M G wrote: For natural gas yes.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Mac NAS options
I do not like optical storage either. Capacity is too small and they're too unpredictable. I've be given CD's that can only be read on 1/3 machines I've tried. But I'm not trying to build a data center at my house either. I've been through that enterprise-at-the-house phase in my life about 15-20 years ago. I'm perfectly happy with cold storage. Personally I'd be happiest with 3 sets of disks with 1 never powered on at any given time. You can accidentally delete files on a RAID system and without a backup you don't get those files back. My media files do not change often enough for me to worry about accidentally deleting files that won't be on backup. My day to day stuff is on Time Machine. I don't want to spend thousands on a solution that won't last 15 years anyway. During that time there will be hardware failures and parts to be replaced. If you use iTunes and have an Apple Airport Express, the audio is sent from the computer to the Airport Express in ALAC format. It works fine unless there are problems with the wireless network. Hard wired would work even better, but I don't have the option of doing major electrical wiring where I live. The best I could do for wire would be flat LAN cable under the carpet.

Re: [MBZ] Ceramic ATE brake pads
Every time I've developed brake pulse problems it came back to a warped rotor. Why would it not be the case on MB car? Thanks in advance. I await your learned advice. Grant...

However this is sometimes hard to, as you need a place where you can speed up and slow down, without other traffic around, spose a big shopping centre car park on a Sunday morning?

To be fair they probably aren't always running 100%, but neither is Cisco gear known for being energy efficient, and it's not like they can spin down drives or fans. As I recall for our exercise, we took the supply wattage peak for each of the devices in the lot, figuring they'd run at least half-ish and need that much cooling again. We did not get to the cost of adding power or HVAC to our houses. :) Best, Tim Uses nuclear power!

Don't take my word for it http://www.stoptech.com/technical-support/technical-white-papers/-warped-brake-disc-and-other-myths http://www.mossmotors.com/SiteGraphics/Pages/brake_discs.html Perhaps when you say warped you mean worn unevenly.

Re: [MBZ] A great racing flick
Yeah back then there was real racing and personalities. Not worth watching blue-ray as it's mostly archival footage.
