I'm currently at 11 weeks. The power goes out here for extended periods of time, more than my tiny UPS can handle. I restart my PC's after Windows pushes updates every Tuesday. Home computer should be shut down every once in a while IMHO, they're not made for up time :p * Raw storage...

1. Caching - local caching of web pages I visit frequently to speed up access (i.e. downloads my YouTube subscription feed locally) 2. Torrenting - for open source software and large linux ISO's 3. Backup - about 12TB of raw storage. Backs up all my computers. Also facilitates offsite backup...

And I thought my rack was getting big O.o Before anyone asks, yes that is my closet. Edit: innards pic of the 2U server

Loads of million dollar industrial equipment still uses floppies. Some equipment is so expensive that it's cheaper to go out of the way to interface with obsolete technologies than replace the machine. I found a ton of new in box floppies in the IT storage room once, was told I could take...

At home I have 5 physical, 12 virtual. Offsite just one virtual. Too many is when the server rack starts to break under the weight ;)

The mods are convening :shhh:

FPTP is a terrible voting system :p Allowing people to vote multiple times is the simple way to see the popular choice.

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!! Dibs on second. I'm fancyyy

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!! Drama brings people together :gh: Case in point: this thread is a few pages long

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!! Done. Will still show your original voter, but the numbers will be updated.

Bump. Projector is pending sale, still have one HeNe for sale.

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!! We're here to have fun, no need to get stressed out :p That's why others are making light of this whole thing. Maybe I'm just insensitive though. Jokes that offend others always crack me up.

You'll need an optical LPM, as suggested the Coherent Lasercheck is good. Thermal LPM's are too sensitive to the environment for those powers.

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!! It was removed very quickly. (a couple minutes IIRC) VG was the second account of CrazyJay, who was previous banned for causing trouble (before my time, I'm not sure of the details). His issues existed before Cyparagon got involved. Starlight...

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!! USABro, multiple accounts. Banned. VG, multiple accounts. Banned. Starlight, wove a tapestry of insults the likes of which has never been seen by LPF before. Then hung it out for everyone to see. Banned (edit: temporarily). Plus, I think you...

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!! It's a multi-vote poll. percentages are based on # of users voted, not how many votes cast.

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!! The poll is to get an idea of what people want. The final decision may not be the popular opinion, but the decision will take it into account. Another thing to note, is that in my experience people argue no matter what; if not about rep then about...

Re: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!! I see your side of the argument (that's why I don't do it anymore) but the point I was trying to get at is that I don't think it is a problem, one can just as easily give out welcome rep to new members to reset the system.

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!! 10 & 20 before, 5 & 50 now.

Re: Poll: Spreading the love .... NOT!!!!! Thank you for posting that Alan. Those are the only things we can change, any additional functionality cannot be added. Choosing how much rep to give/take would be nice, but cannot be implemented.
