I’m in the USA and my mommy government doesn’t want me to be in control of my life (they’re illegal). Can you ship the laser in multiple parts in different packages so customs will pass it through? If yes, how much extra does it cost? I’ve already had one Dragon Laser confiscated by customs during shipping and it kind of sucks losing that much money.
I don't think lasers are illegal, are they? They just can't be sold as laser pointers if they're above a certain wattage (that these ones certainly are), and need to have suitable labeling on them. At least, that was my understanding of the situation. This power is illegal where I'm from but they may not be illegal in your country. Really? What state are you from? And "illegal" as in you need a license, or what? |

They show fine for me here, although I do prefer imgur because it is clean and simple. |

Order date: 1/24/12 (1) and 1/27/12 (2)
Received: 4/17/12 (3)
No shipment notification was received.
Did it end up in a spam box somewhere? That's odd. |

Have you found any good HOWTOs on setting up the virtualization? I guess the options are: VMWARE esxi: the easiest to setup, just install and select devices for passthrough and install guest OS. It might even boot existing BAMT from usb stick(pass usb controller). Free to test! any dual GPU is no go though  Citrix XenServer: Has GPU passthrough support on a super expensive licenced copy... so no way to tell if it is any easier to implement than the opensource project. I think that some documentation would be available but one might still need to be a Linux guru. Opensource Xen: According to Xen wiki AMD passthrough works OOB. However some GPU bios extracting might be involved and all kind of hacking to get actually in the point of attempting a first boot. On the upside some reports of having 5970 working on this solution are floating in the net. My GoogleFu is apparently weak as I have not found a simple and thorough enough guide on how to actually tame this Xen-beast... Nobody's made anything quite like this, to my knowledge. There is a KVM tut on the previous page that I will be looking at. |

Isn't the race to be the first to get the LP also a lottery like who get's to deliver the solution to the hash ?
i.e. If you have 100 rigs setup with 1 GPU you have 100 lottery tickets to be the first to get a LP as opposed to 20 rigs with 5 GPU's where you have only 20 tickets....
For the really short rounds (in the hundreds/few thousands of shares) your hashing power isn't so much what counts as it is the time in which you get the LP (and then of course deliver a solution before the round ends)
Hmm what was the comment I made in IRC 9 hours ago to a pool OP ...  13:05 < kanoi> so ... ***** ... how does the pool decide the order it sends out LPs ... (yes that is a rather controversial question, but only if the answer isn't truly random I know that Slush prioritizes the LPs he sends out based on hashrate - I don't know whether Deepbit does this or not, but I think Slush is one of the only ones that does that. |

I added the to, for it was missing.
Oh I get it now, sorry! |

How the hell am I suppose to enjoy reading this diatribe if I keep finding errors. This is the second one found about 3/4 of the page down. You can assume no government wants you to adopt this system in any capacity, and for that reason alone it's worth consideration by honest, moral, and industrious people. (or is it: ...wants you adopting this system...?)Damn, I enjoy this article so, so much. ~Bruno~ What's incorrect about that? |

Ohhh yeah....  |

Nuh uh, I counted the pins against Wikipedia's description of which pin is which, relative to the notch, and it most definitely was the 3.3v pins, not the 12v ones.
It could have been worse. I could have used no riser at all on that rig. Then whatever nastiness had happened to the riser, would probably have happened to the bus on the mobo. Though it was a dirt cheap mobo.
How very interesting. I had heard that 3.3v wasn't even used on those cards, so I have no idea what may have shorted out to cause that problem. |

Why must CPU mining be in cgminer? It is easier to just use Pooler's fork of jgarzik's miner, since it is fast and purpose built.

Anyone recommend a VPS provider which will give me root access?
http://bitvps.com/ uses KVM virt, so you get root. It's run by rg, and you can chat with him and his team on IRC. |

I paid the princely sum of £309.46 for this 5970 card. That includes a f  king customs charge of £25.37. Delivered today. I have a ragamuffin rig with three 5970's and a well-to-do rig with so far only one working 5970, but room for three more. When I put the new card into my fancy rig with the fancy mobo and fancy psu, the fans spin for a fraction of a second before everything goes dead. If I switch off the PSU for a while, then try again, same thing happens. So I thought I'd swap out a card from my other rig, the one from the wrong sort of neighbourhood. I put this new 5970 in there, and switch on. Hey, it keeps going! Nothing's cutting out. That sounds promising, yes? Well I instantly realised I'd better keep my nose on red alert, and sure enough, a few seconds later, the pungent smell of burning plastic. Yanked the power cord out sharpish and no mistake. Examining the 16x-16x riser cable shows that the pins supplying +3.3V, all of them and only them, look and smell burny. Better not use that cable again. I don't mind about the cable, it was cheap and I have more... but what exactly is wrong with the card, and is it something I could fix with the loan of someone else's brain? ETA: should add that with a mug of hot cocoa and some soothing trance music, both rigs have recovered fully from their abuse. You should probably be using powered risers. The wires that burned are likely the 12v bus, not 3.3v. As to why that card is different from the rest, I can't be sure. |

Still haven't quite found the middle ground for the parrot's head that's not too cartoony but also doesn't look like a falcon, but my current WIP. https://i.imgur.com/0BPp2.pngOoo nice, if you can't get the whole parrot right to your satisfaction, try using just the head. |

I think the first language most Yanks should learn to speak, read and write fluently is English.  +1, although I don't think Theymos has any outstanding issues in this department. |

You've seen his package?  Two options here. You are a Third option: But I see the humor escapes you, so I will take this opportunity to ask a question that has been on my mind for a while: Is it not correct that a "phobia" is an irrational fear of something? In which case, how is it possible that a phobia has been confused with simple hate in contemporary vernacular? It seems to me that dumbing down hate speech to "just a fear of something" is an accident waiting to happen. |

Please bear with us while our future beefed-up production server is being heavily firewalled, secured, booby-trapped and set-up for transparent replication to our failover servers.
Will it emit mustard gas if an unsuspecting datacenter monkey pulls the wrong hard drive? |

So you need just a hosting service, or do you feel like being the admin of your own VPS?
