Smallest PC packs a punch, runs Windows 7 | DVICE - http://dvice.com/archive...
 |
Skyler Call and Jesse Stay liked this
"We're big fans of tiny PCs, and this CompuLab fit-PC2i is the smallest one yet. Even though it's just 4 inches wide and slightly over an inch tall, it can still run Windows 7 and blast 1080p video all day long. It's made out of aluminum, so it's super light at 13 ounces, just right for hanging on the back of a flat panel display for complete Web freedom in the home theater."

In America, you stop using a service because Scoble or Techcrunch says its dead. In those countries, you just keep using the service because you think its a good service.

So Jimmy Johnson says regarding the Patriots 4th and 2 "Based strictly on the percentages, Bill Belichick made the wrong call."... then he gives the numbers and fumbles the math:
His numbers: Pats conversion rate on 4th and 2: 77%
- Ken Sheppardson
Manning's chances of scoring from 70 yards: 33%
- Ken Sheppardson
Manning's chances of scoring from 29: 58%
- Ken Sheppardson
Noting that if the Pats make it, they can run down the clock, going for it gives them an 87% probability of winning (23% chance they don't make it, 58% chance the Colts can score if they do.). Punting only gives them only a 67% probability of winning. Picking the option that gives you the higher probability of winning is the right choice "based strictly on the percentages", no? My guess is Johnson just looked at 58% > 33%.

What's your "TL;DR Threshold" for FriendFeed comments? If you see the dreaded little italicized "124 more comments" message, how many of them will you actually read before you comment yourself?

I'll admit I tend to read the first 10-20 and the last 10-20, but those 100 in the middle...oy.
- Ken Sheppardson
at that point, I generally won't comment at all. after 50+ comments there is rarely anything that I can add that hasn't been said already.
- chrisofspades
In general, threads like that are political enough that I wouldn't want to get involved anyway. *Usually* I prefer to read all of them before making a comment, which is why I don't jump into too many threads that long.
- i80and
If it's something I'm interested in or care about, I'll read/skim most of it. Otherwise tl;dr
- Itachi
It's tough being a latecomer to a thread like that, however interesting it may be.

I don't think the comment count itself has ever dissuaded me from expanding comments, but the content of the first few comments will sometimes stop me from reading further.

After only eight years of reliably running 24x7 my faithful Sony SAT-T60 DirecTV+TiVo box is now rebooting every five minutes. It'll be sad to see it go, but it probably deserves to be put to rest.

Nice, Richard. And timely :-) I so dread the thought of going to Comcast, and I don't know what's worse... waiting for the past five years or so for DirecTV and TiVo to get their act in gear and make up or waiting for a cable card tuner I can drop into my own W7 Media Center box. Heaven forbid DirecTV and Microsoft do anything this century that'd bring satellite to Media Center.
- Ken Sheppardson
I suspect I'm probably going to end up slinking into Best Buy and picking up whatever the absolutely cheapest choice is from DirecTV to hold me over until I figure this all out again.
- Ken Sheppardson
One spare hard drive, $25 for the latest InstantCake image, and 15 minutes with a torx driver later, the SAT-T60's back up and running. You've got another six months to get your act together, DirecTV/Microsoft.

The ffcheck bookmarklet gives you a quick way to find out if there are any existing items on FriendFeed related to the web page you're viewing. Simply drag the bookmarklet onto your bookmarks toolbar, then whenever you click the link a list of FriendFeed items will be overlaid onto the page you're viewing.

- Dobromir Hadzhiev
perfect!
- Patrik Johansson
is there a way to go through my contacts only?
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Dobromir: Not that I know of. It's not authenticating at all, i.e. it has no idea who you are. In fact, you don't even need to be a FF user to use it. I don't know if the API allows you to retrieve a filtered list.
- Ken Sheppardson
Also, that sort of circumvents the intent. [ Well.. my intent at least :-) ] The idea is to promote discovery and connect you with folks you might not know otherwise. Rather than have 30+ people all start threads on an item (as shown in the screen shot), this lets you join the existing conversation instead of resharing something. Your Like or Comment will put it in your followers' stream without you having to reshare it.
- Ken Sheppardson
so I though, I asked because feedly can do something very similar, but again it searches the whole friendfeed instead of the users home feed, anyway cool enough :-)

Great tool for discovering other FFers who are interested in a topic. You can click on entries within the page ffcheck produces. Or you can print the page. Well done, Ken Sheppardson.

Does ffcheck still work? Just asking because I haven't gotten it to work in a few days, even after dumping cache (which usually fixes weird transient JS errors.)
- Andrew C
I hope so. It's still useful to me. kshep, did you intentionally pull it down? ffcheck.com/javascript/ is 404'ing. Also is the code here: http://userscripts.org/scripts... a current or an old version?
- Micah Wittman
No, I didn't pull it down... it's needed two clicks in my dev channel version of Chrome to work, but other than that it was cranking away... or so I thought... let me take a look...
- Ken Sheppardson
nice!
- .LAG liked that
Should be back. Sorry about that.
- Ken Sheppardson
I should note that in Chrome 4 (My default browser...I'm on the dev branch) you have to click the bookmarklet twice. I've been putting off resolving that in the ffcheck code, but it's probably time to dig into it.
- Ken Sheppardson
Great! Thanks, Ken.
- Micah Wittman
The code at userscripts.org is pretty old. I branched off from that for the version that's hosted at ffcheck.com. As it says in the "About" page there on userscripts, it really just demonstrates how the API works. Honestly, I haven't touched this in forever. Y'all are going to make me try to remember how it works, aren't you? :-)
- Ken Sheppardson
I always thought it should be a core part of the tool because it worked so well, too many fragmented discussions get started without it!!
- Chris Myles
I think that in chrome you've had to click twice for a long while... since version 2 of chrome or something (i think) - oh and if you do mess with the code a bit of animation would be nice while it's loading... even if it's the most simple of blinking periods - just to indicate that it is working and not stuck

So what's the most efficient way to split a Windows 7 install between a 30GB SSD and a pair of 1TB drives in RAID1? Is it worth using the SSD? Hm.

Just start the install onto the SSD but move the Program Files and Users directories to the array?

Do you have a large hadron collider on hand to perform a split like that?

Heh. Shouldn't really be that hard. Seems like somebody online must have done this before. Googling is in order.

I'm sure ken could get one. He just needs a country the size of swizerland and 15 Billion smackers.

pagefile.sys could certainly live on the SSD. Adobe scratch disks... maybe the browser cache files... there must be a FAQ for this...
