You think they are on "target"?    How about a bet?  I will buy a Single today and if it ships in <6 weeks I pay you $600 (or equiv in BTC).  If it doesn't you pay me $600.  Why $600?  Well because I am 100% convinced I would get the Single for free I just won't be getting it in no 6 weeks. Smiley
At this point, I'd take you up on it, but I need the money elsewhere, not sitting in escrow for 6 weeks.

Unfortunately, his vocabulary keeps the average visitor to this forum from understanding what he’s saying! 
Shame everyone is so damn stupid.

Very good. If we can get as far as decent designs, I'm sure that's when the money will flow in to create a product.

You are going to want to remove those back plates on the video cards...you'll impede so much airflow with them still attached...
There's tons of room, and they prevent damage to the back of the board due to clumsy mishandling, which I am prone to. Removing the plastic gave me a huge amount of space, and the only thing I really need to do is mod/remove/replace the front brackets with higher flow pieces.

You're the perfect troll.
No, he's really not. If he was, he wouldn't get banned so often.

Matthew, I very much prefer this side of you. If you really do feel the need to troll, however, make another account for that trolling. By making it hard on yourself by having to constantly switch accounts, you'll soon get out of the habit of trolling.
Wanna bet he was Atlas all along? Grin

I read the whole thing. Good luck, and if you need an example of a "good" troll, LoupGaroux could teach you a few things.

I'm sure they have both regretted taking him up, and also embraced the business opportunity, since there was and continues to be so much bullshit and flak from bitcoiners, but also so many orders. The Bitcoiner is an enigma, really. 2 parts asshole to 1 part greedy consumer, for most.

Ztex, ngazhang and FPGAmining don't have to take 'bullshit and flak' from bitcoiners (except the one dude who decided to buy Icarus when ngzhang already stopped making them, and he decided to bash Chinese for the size of their dong, lol). I am not Chinese by the way Wink

The problem doesn't lie with bitcoiners, it lies with BFL.
Not even right at the very beginning when they first offered their products? And I mean in general as well, not necessarily specific cases.

Does it still come with the sandbox Chrome offers?
That's basically the only reason to ever use chrome, almost outweighs the spying aspect of google.

I'm fine with lynx to do banking and XXXTerm which was developed by OpenBSD devs.

Yeah it's mostly chrome code with some features turned off.

Sheesh guys it really wouldn't be that hard to write a greasemonkey script to grab the latest time online for a given user and compare it with the current time, and show the "online" indicator manually.

To properly mount those fans, you could remove one of the "beams" in the top, placing it in the front in between the posts.
Well, the problem is that the fancy wiring job that I did with that terminal strip just coincides with the fan placement. They need to be down low, which is why they are in a stairstep. If I mounted them all at the same height, they would be a little high, and all the air would go over the GPUs instead of through them. But I can't go all they way down since the terminal strip is there. I am going to try to get everything hooked into the terminal strip, and then push it down out of the way since it is sticking up right now.

Vimeo is saying it wants to wait half an hour before my video gets converted, so I have uploaded it to cloudfront here: <removed>
I think the Vimeo link is this: http://vimeo.com/40200641 and presumably that link will start working after it is converted.

The cloudfront link expires in a couple hours, and I'll remove it later.

OK I got the custom frame in today, and have partially assembled the system in it. Here are some pics, and I'm going to upload a short video soon to demonstrate how loud the fans are. Grin

SRWare Iron is a good browser. It is based on Chromium source, which is made mainly BY GOOGLE, but it has been cleaned up and fixed to prevent them from tracking you as much.

Yeah, because it isn't true...

That indicates that some noob didn't set up SPF correctly, and so gmail is allowing the mail to pass normally because of the error.

Wow. I just don't know what to say. Cheesy For 18 GPU's, it would probably be a better deal in the end if you have a good PSU, right?
Done and done. But if I want more than 8 GPUs, I need VT-d, unless anyone has been able to test and confirm otherwise.

I just got the custom frame from Spotswood, and it is solid. It was flat packed, and I will have to wait until later this evening after work to put it together and take pics. But +100 for Spotswood for an awesome custom-built open air frame.

Also got fan grilles and screws, and have shipped off a couple fans to Garr255 to develop a custom PWM controller for them. Still wondering whether I should get a VT-d capable host board, especially considering that this rig could be somewhat obsolete soon.  Cry Unless Vladimir develops a PCIe based ASIC card that I can shove in.

It is just the fact that the full clients suck for mobile usage. Hope that somebody implements Electrum-style client and gets it approved.

Actually, because of that +all, it says that all mail servers are valid senders for okpay.com. NEVER put +all in your spf record. That alone says that you should avoid OKPAY at all costs, since their security is likely just as bad.
Now that you point it out, that is very lame. + is only for testing, and as you noted it allows all senders. They should be using - or ~ which either fails hard or fails soft respectively. Someone should email them and tell them they are doing it wrong.
3658  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: OKPAY is scam (probably not) on: April 11, 2012, 04:04:13 PM
Got it also, from support@okpay.com.

The email wording made it sound like someone who was pissed about the account being frozen, but it's very possible it was frozen for legitimate reasons. And definitely hacking their email server is not cool... so I'd reserve judgement either way in this case.
Not hacked, just impersonating. If they have a good SPF record, most filters will catch it and delete it.

Code:
> okpay.com
Server:  google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address:  8.8.8.8

Non-authoritative answer:
okpay.com       text =

        "v=spf1 a:mail.regall.net mx:mail.regall.net +all"
>

^That tells mail server to ignore email purporting to be from okpay.com, UNLESS it comes from "mail.regall.net". However, many servers ignore this option, since it was tacked on to the protocol after SMTP was initially created.

The only reason GPUs have become the de facto mining hardware is because FPGA/ASIC miners didn't exist back then. I foresee them going the way of the dinosaur, although not anytime soon of course.
