This might solve the rubber breakdown issue. it is a polymer cord, called "Magic Stretch" much thinner than it might look at 1mm. Has 200% stretch, and some grip due to a softness to the polymer.

@some not asleep, just traveling + uni network was down
also, my 1gb for 19/yr vps disputes your note expensive over 256mb assertion :p
not sure about reliability though...
 
@Bob: precisely why I'm not anything critical on mine ;p
 
Bob
@jou eh I'll probably run WordPress on mine. should be easy enough to back up.
 
@Bob: discourse. Ditto, but a pain to setup
 
Bob
discourse seems too resource hungry to me :(
 
lol
over 600 mb ;p
 
1:56 AM
wait what Bob didn't sleep ?
Bob is not a human :0

Q: android phone or tablet as pc speaker over bluetooth

Brandon SolonNow, I've Googled until the cows come home, but each result was the other way around. i want to use my Samsung galaxy 2 exhilarate (or Archos 101 internet tablet) to play live audio FROM MY COMPUTER over Bluetooth, not WiFi, because i always get disconnected and when i am connected i have weak si...

 
@50-3: user looks like he's about 10
@50-3: better now?

Michael_R_Lawrence_IT-Securityhttp://www.rt7lite.com/ makes making custom iso/usb intslls allmost braindead simple. uses a gui and waik good for novices or dislexic people whom can be all thumbs chaining imagex with many swm files or etc is not good for me. and since I am a bit dyslexic this tool has been a bit of a fave. ...

 
2:27 AM
@JourneymanGeek Yer my downvote stands :)
Wow that just word no
 
I'm dyslexic :/
 
I'm also dyslexic - Started learning chinese - not dyslexic in chinese.... I don't get it
It sense lack make
 
lol
probably cause of the VERY distinct audatory differences and the writing system
heh
nothing wrong with a partial edit right?
did a spellcheck and SOME fixes but my head REALLY hurts now
 
2:43 AM
I'm sorry but there should be a badge for being able to correct something like that
 
lol
If it was a actually completely shitty answer, I'd just flag it
and the hell with it
 
drops @JourneymanGeek in a bottomless pit
 
just me or there are some "empty" star? @JourneymanGeek
 
@Braiam: someone pinned my experimental discourse instance
hollow star = pin
 
2:51 AM
ok...
no, is not "ok", why I can't do the same *rage*
 
lol
I think you need to be a mod or channel owner
 
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
there I throw a tar... table...
 
and I got my channel ownership the hard way ;p
(hanging around until someone automatically lost theirs ;p)
 
.......... LOL
 
(I generally have at least one computer up and on a set of tabs including SEchat so...)
 
3:01 AM
lol, you got this room D:
 
yeah ;p
mods still have a lot more powers tho. ;p
I just get to set feeds, and pin shit up
 
Doing review tasks, something came up from a question I had read before and the answer had 1 upvote and I remember it having 30+ upvotes so I was like, Someone just copied and pasted this answer, middle click the question title so I can quickly grab the original answer, Press flag (You know to save time for when I get back) before I can move to the other tab and.... I failed an audit -_- I hate this system sometimes
 
@50-3 http://superuser.com/review/first-posts/history
just change first-post for whatever you like... unless you skipped :S
 
heh
I hate the reviews
its mainly for a problem SO has ;p
 
meh, most of the answers I give, I get the questions reviews...
then I remember that I've lost more rep from downvoting then being downvoted... pretty sad :(
thanks for remembering me the hardships of the review queue...
 
3:13 AM
@Braiam I got my first answer downvoted 2 days which evened out my downvoting:downvoted ration
 
meh, AU is hit with pretty bad questions...
and now more puppies?
 
@Braiam: heh, I have a pretty bad average on SU ;p
 
@JourneymanGeek Why?
I know it's hot there but distract yourself another way
 
@50-3: I post a LOT of answers, some are hits, some are misses ;p
I don't downvote (or vote) as much as I'd like to
and I don't get that much downvotes
(and a lot of my downvotes get deleted, so I get back the rep ;p)
 
3:17 AM
LOL I downvote like 20 post/day... 5-10 gets deleted...
 
Unless its obviously harmful I don't see the point
 
I think that has something to do with the 61.4k hammer that comes with the downvote :)
 
NAAs/VTCs work otherwise
XD
@50-3: over 4 years ;p
 
@JourneymanGeek the questions! the darn QUESTIONS!
 
rep dosen't really mean anything
@Braiam: vtc ;p
I've only downvoted 88 times
 
3:19 AM
still, unless someone delete the question... the vote stays there...
 
1,485 upvotes,
 
man, I just got woried...
 
compare that with 1500 flags ;p
 
thats something like @Jokerdino level ;p
 
3:20 AM
600 flags and only 2 months tho...
 
high rep user, not much I can flag here ;p
 
mine hit a halt when I got 3k rep...
actually, I always have +10 active flags... why is that...
meh, I'm out... latters
 
@JourneymanGeek your still at a ~6% downvote rate
 
lol
most of those deserve it ;p
 
Yer i'm very hesitant to down vote every time I sit there reading through help to workout if it's reasonable to down vote then just back out
But sometime people are just rude, impolite, ect... And I scream "I shall take away your internet points for this!!!" and start swinging the down vote hammer
 
3:48 AM
yeah ;p
Or, I want people to know this is seriously bad advice
 
Things like this where they have not understood the question really leaves me in two minds in terms of down voting

A: Replace two hard drives for one new hard drive do I have to change the RAID setting?

user253408Are you leaving one HDD in the machine together with the SSD? If yes, you will have to reformat the HDD, because you won't be able to access anything, since the data was split over both HDD with Raid 0.

 
4:05 AM
Once you hit 2k rep can you still put a edit up for peer review?
 
@JoshR Welcome to Root Access chat for Super Users! Please don't ask if you can ask or if anyone's around; just ask your question, and if anyone's free and interested they'll help.
 
Bob
@50-3 nope
you could always ask on meta or in chat if a certain edit is acceptable, if you want
 
4:42 AM
@bob more dyslexic + non-peer reviewed edits = ??? will have to start being careful if I hit 2k
 
4:53 AM
@50-3: nope. Kinda wished for that too
 
5:08 AM
Maybe daily I will start posting really bad answers to keep my rep under 2k?
 
Bob, did you even get some sleep?
 
5:31 AM
hmm
superuser.com/questions/644179/… can someone throw this a spam flag?
heh, I'm not awake, I can too ;p
 
@JourneymanGeek the site itself does not seem to spam? the user was existing on this site after the question. How about i flag it for WTF?
 
@Psycogeek: I flagged it shrug for some reason I forgot I could flag after I VTCed ;p
 
I VTC
@JourneymanGeek i think your comment will be usefull so they at least know why.
 
5:47 AM
@JourneymanGeek That dude got crafty, put up more info in other locals, so the machine would not find him.
 
pity he didn't post on SF ;p
I could flag him there too ;)
Stellar are known spammers here anyway.
 
Hmm I wonder if I should comment before rudely leaving a downvote. "Sorry i had to downvote, the answer does not seem to . . . well just because your an asshole."
 
I would flag your comment saying it's you're and not your.
 
honestly, the comments are how I deal with wanting to do a cranial-rectal inversion with extreme prejudice to these people.
 
6:01 AM
@jokerdino you can tell i am talking tech, when my breath would knock you over and my spelling sucks, and i have not shaved in 3 days :-) But damn is my computer fast.
 
@_@
 
Next stop , assemble 4 3T drives into Raid0 , and try and turn it Back into 2T arrays so It is compatable with most of the OSes, and doesnt use GPT.
or is it gtp, heck i dont even know what that abbreviation stand for other than BAD (Big a$$ disk).
 
GUID Partition Table
and I think most OSes can read it, not all can boot
 
oh right boot.
@JourneymanGeek So what does GUID stand for?

Q: This site's definition is untenably broad

Shog9Proposal: India As is our tradition for proposals that gain some amount of traction, the Community Team at Stack Exchange has reviewed this proposal. We couldn't help but notice: the scope defined here covers an awful lot of ground. History, culture, politics, law and the process of navigating...

 
That's a different proposal. That one is India.SE
 
poor shog9 cant figure out how he is going to downvote and close everything :-(
 
No different from judaism.se
Maybe my mom or dad would be interested ;p

6:38 AM
@jokerdino Shouldn't there be questions about Chakras? or is that a different religion?
 
Chakras is indeed a Hindu concept.
 
@jokerdino People have written 20 books about it, scientific sound frequency experiments etc. endless array of stuff (i dont understand)
 
You can probably ask the question when it is launched.

ya, flagged that
ugliest spam ever ;p
 
Well i hope their escorts aren't as ugly as their spam

I wonder how many more spamflags before community cleans his clock ;)
 
at least one more
 
and those fucking ℛ s.
 
yeah, I want to 's/ℛ/r/g'

@bob are you in sleep yet?
 
8:41 AM
whats going wrong, shouldnt this one have as many flags or more than the other one like it?
its dead now
 
@Psycogeek: needed moar flags I guess
 
Installing Modems and attaching/connecting telephony links to Linux servers is not permitted.

How the hell am I supposed to enforce that ar OS-level ?
 
@Kwaio: driver blacklist?
 
If a raid0 Stripe size is set to say 32K is that 16K on each disk or 32K on each disk? |-16K to you--| & |-16K to you--| = 32K total?
 
9:01 AM
@JourneymanGeek Is there sucha thing in rhel3 ?
 
During install it wont let me stuff win7 on SSD ""On EFI systems Win cannot instal on MBR partion table disk "" uhh wanna bet :-) dang windows. I didnt even know it was GPT formatting that thing.
Mabey i should roll over and play the MS game before it is to late.
 
9:17 AM
@JourneymanGeek Thanks , now to find which ones to BL
 
@Kwaio: that ... is going to be a pain
 
Don't mention it...
 
But this is my problem as shown here. Looks like the "dynamic" stuff. In dynamic a second table is stored , on the end of the disk, which could mean the end of the second disk with spanning.
While it is awesome to have such a backup tables thing, the MBR (vrses dynamic not GPT) has a mirror that is Not off on the other end of the disk, it is actually movable (with rare software).
With GPT, the backup partition table is "mirrored" at the other end of the disk. But what else has to be "maintained" there?
--It does not look like there is anything that is maintained there, that would be written or read from unless partitioning or needing it for backup. But if they decide to store (say) a Time stamp there for writes , then i am not going to like that.
`` second issue, the MBR itself does not go away, meaning it is slightly more complicated.
``` third issue GPT in XP is not only not supported for Boot, but they are claiming it is not supported for regular read/write. That might be something that can be workarounded.
 
9:40 AM
@Psycogeek You tried installing Windows 7 on SSD our migrating it to SSD?
 
@Boris_yo I am on my second round of that. the other SSD costs more than the price tag at the store stated, so I am trading it up for a 256G for $40 more.
I was going to test the Acronis (WDfree version) to do the clone. Never cloned to/from SSD before. But it said there is no WD drive :-( even though there is. So my acronis CD is no longer viable either.
 
@Psycogeek You clone from WD to SSD?
 
@Boris_yo I was going to try that too , or either direction. The stuff they turn off for SSD i already had off for HD or raid as it usually is.
 
Why you pay much money for SSD if you could buy hybrid storage drive with Intel Cache feature? It's cheaper, has same performance almost plus you get a lot of storage.
 
@Boris_yo The perfomance stats on cache and bench mark is not so pretty. and My use of the computer and all, vrses using a browser and reading e-mail , would mean that there would be a load of writing, and not a lot of re-use . the "slow" stuff is always the Big stuff, and big stuff doesnt fit in caches, about any of them.
Although "block caches" can be more usefull than winders file caches. But i was discussing with a guy today RamDisk (the dreaded snake oil kind) and windows cache has terrible overhead, and poor speed compared to "emulated" ram disk things.
 
9:59 AM
anybody knows how to get files from Kindle Fire to my PC ?
 
Take video editing, where your working in a specific section of a video trying to perfect it. Windows cant load the whole thing into a "file" cache. But a block cache just caches chunks that you were reading over and over again off the hard drive.
 
to download all of them?
I have been using the Snappea but it doesn't work now
Don't know why
I tried to install Snappea on a different notebook and it still didn't work
In the past once I connected Kindle via Snappea , I was able to see it as if it was an USB flash drive , so I could download and upload files in Total Commander
From Kindle Fire to PC and vice versa...
Or most probably any software that can download files from Android device to PC which runs on Windows can help me
So that I will just see the Kindle Fire as an USB flash drive...
 
@Psycogeek So you need to write more than read? I don't know if SSD is a good option since it has limited writes...
 
10:15 AM
@Boris_yo I do it all. my need is like this 1) the OS faster is better 2) working spaces about 300-600G fast and fragmented 3) Data disk, stuff that doesnt need to be on system disk, faster is better 4) Huge storage spaces that could be dog slow.
@Boris_yo One thing i analised, about my use is, I want the speed Most, where I am actively writing and reading a lot. That means i want the SSD where it is going to get pulverised most in my system. not for storage .
 
@Boris_yo: the write limit hasn't really been a problem in ages
 
@Psycogeek Working space 300-600G? But your SSD is 240G.
 
@Boris_yo Uhh, i was thinking about trimming them down some, and working faster :-)
 
Maybe there is exist some software under Linux that can do it for me, if there is no such thing under Windows...
 
Bob
O.O
96 pings...
(and one flag)
 
10:20 AM
lol
@jokerdino: I guess @Bob did sleep
(97 pings)
 
@JourneymanGeek haha
so @Bob you slept eh?
 
Bob
actually, no
this is just my desktop that I left on overnight
 
@Psycogeek I once talked with @Bob about Intel Smart Response with hybrid drive. He told that SSD is expensive option while ISR on hybrid drive is cheaper and offers similar performance. He gave me link to benchmark with similar results between SSD and hybrid drive using ISR.
 
@Boris_yo I am also going to try full risk raid0 this time with 4 Drive team. I have loose (not connected to computer) backups of everything, but a fail on a system like that could take 2-4 Days to get all the data back up again. that should give me 300+ speed, but still slow seeks
 
Bob
@Boris_yo I believe @DarthAndroid had some practical experience.
And this of course excludes high-throughput applications.
 
10:28 AM
@Boris_yo the SSD by itself, not only moves data quantity fast, but the responce , the first chunk in speed is really good.
 
@ELKS Hey there! You're pretty special, aren't you? :)
 
@Psycogeek When I tried to copy 500MB file on my SSD from one partition to another, it took 1 second to compete.
 
Bob
@Boris_yo that's called measurement error
 
@Bob Do you still have that link to ISR hybrid drive benchmark?
 
@Boris_yo it would take ~3 on the raid0 plus 3 more to verify (using fast copy).
 
10:37 AM
I will have to create a FTP server on Kindle Fire ... let it at the reception of a building where I live and then connect to that FTP server from my PC
 
Bob
6 Gbps SATA (max theoretical) = 750 MB/s (max theoretical). Copying from one partition to another requires both ways on the same drive. Therefore max theoretical is ~375 MB/s
real speeds will be lower
 
That's the reslut of not having my own WIFI network at home.... fuck...
 
@Bob Why? Because I didn't use proper method of measuring?
 
Bob
@Boris_yo because that's above the theoretical maxumum
it's impossible (on SATA)
practical maximum is even lower
though I'm probably just being pedantic again. bleh.
 
@Bob it was only 1/2 gig not 500g ?
 
Bob
10:39 AM
2 mins ago, by Bob
6 Gbps SATA (max theoretical) = 750 MB/s (max theoretical). Copying from one partition to another requires both ways on the same drive. Therefore max theoretical is ~375 MB/s
 
@Bob Because it takes 350MBs to read + another 350MBs to write?
 
Bob
...whatever.
> Seems to indicate that it's half-duplex. Also, 8/10 bit encoding is being used, so 6 Gbit SATA is really 4.8 Gbit of real bandwidth, or 600 MByes second.
so even less.
halve that, you get 300MB/s theoretical max
 
@Bob My SSD is SATA-6. It took 1 second of real time between clicking "Copy" to copied file appear on another partition.
 
@Boris_yo write cache?
 
Bob
@Boris_yo Again, it is not possible
 
10:43 AM
@Psycogeek To copy from one partition to another.
 
@Boris_yo you would have to time it to when the drive stopped blinking. windows (and others) will show it there, while the activity on the drive is not yet fully completed. It is still being moved via the systems drive write cache feeding the drive still.
 
@Psycogeek Correct. Because whole file seems to be finished copying, SSD can still be finishing it in the background. If such is the case, on common HDD I would still see copying dialog and system would work slower. On SSD though, even if file is copying, the performance is still good.
 
This spam mail...
 
@Bob ahh I knew I should have got a PCI-E SSD.
 
10:59 AM
@Psycogeek I guess you were right about drive's activity:
 
@Boris_yo and that is 77% full?
 
@Psycogeek Yes. I am conservative.
 
so how does that compare to your HD using the same benchies on the same system?
 
@JourneymanGeek Any special brand of running shoes you wear when running?
@Psycogeek I only have SSD.
 
Naw. Military issue new balance
 
11:07 AM
@JourneymanGeek Uh? You wear New Balance shoes that were issued by your army? Wat
 
Bob
@Boris_yo You need to use a larger test size.
50MB at those speeds are subject to measurement errors and caching.
 
@Bob I thought the other way around. I thought the larger file size is, the longer testing runs letting you discover potential errors...
 
Bob
uh no
the longer it runs, the more you average it out
 
11:22 AM
@Bob Then how can errors be found so quick with 50MB chunk?
 
Bob
errors? wtf are you talking about?
you're testing speed (and throughput), not errors
 
10 mins ago, by Bob
50MB at those speeds are subject to measurement errors and caching.
 
Bob
....
that's not 'finding' errors
you cannot measure anything accurately over a short span of time
a measurement error means your measurement is wrong.
 
@Bob So with 50MB file size I can measure but it won't be enough to measure accurately?
 
Bob
@Boris_yo pretty much
for example, you can't be sure that some temporary spike in resource usage by other processes doesn't interfere
also, caching and burst speed is causes it to look higher than true throughput
 
11:31 AM
@Bob What file test size should I set? Max?
 
Bob
you want each individual test to take noticeable time
generally at least 5s is a good bet
 
@Bob What do you mean by 5s?
 
Bob
with a SSD, yea, the largest test size is probably a good idea
@Boris_yo 5 seconds
 
@Bob I understood this right then but I had to ask again because 5 seconds is not noticeable time. It can't be enough to dedicate to each test.
 
@Boris_yo yeah, I need extra wide shoes, and its free ;p
 
11:40 AM
@JourneymanGeek Are these that you have are made for road or offroad? What's the model? Are they comfortable? Do they increase your speed?
 
no idea, no idea, yes, no
 
@JourneymanGeek But quality of running shoes influences the time it takes you to complete distance?
 
not as much as you ;p
 
@JourneymanGeek I influence your running?
 
no, you influence your running.
 
Bob
11:49 AM
@Boris_yo yes it is
far more noticeable than a small fraction of a second
if you don't notice a 5 second wait, you have serious attention problems
or a very good distraction
 
@JourneymanGeek Heh of course, I was just playing. Check this one:
@JourneymanGeek This one says it's for volleyball? Do you think it would still be good for running?
 
probably not
go for running or crosstrainers
 
@Bob This given we are talking about SSD drives specifically? Because for common HDD it's not enough.
@JourneymanGeek Running shoes, standing shoes, volleyball shoes, soccer shoes, beach shoes... All this seems like a marketing trick to diversify production and cover more of masses...
 
naw, different weights and support
 
Bob
@Boris_yo what?
you can get accurate test results with HDDs with smaller test sizes
 
12:05 PM
@Bob Which would take more time to complete for HDDs than it would for SSDs.
 
Bob
???
 
@Bob The largest test size will take more than 5 seconds to complete on HDD than on SSD.
 
Bob
so?
I said at least
 
@Bob At least 5 seconds of testing is enough for both HDD and SSD?
 
brilliant piece of crap there.

1:15 PM
gotta love it when you look up one of your own answers ;p
 
@JourneymanGeek I think you will like this article: nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/08/22/running-properly
 
@Boris_yo: I consider running a zen thing
running properly is putting one foot in front of another, repeatedly.
 
Heh, and ignoring the pain in your side.
And the exhaustion
 
And the pain in your left leg (not sure why, but always the left leg first)
 
1:18 PM
lol
its usually my ankles
 
@JourneymanGeek What do you mean by Zen?
 
;p
than you don't think about running
you run
 
You think about the cute girl running in front of you.
 
@Hennes you gotta start out slow, like with a skunk chacing you with its tail up, then progress to ticked off poodle, move up to Pitbull speeds, then eventually mountain lion escape.
 
1:19 PM
@JourneymanGeek Just doing it without thinking of it?
 
@Psycogeek You can download Zombie Run app from Google Play. It will help you overrun zombies if apocalypse. As you run and zombies gain on you, sounds of zombies intensifies until you run faster to distance yourself away from them .
@JourneymanGeek When I run, I don't think of anything. And you?
 
@Boris_yo still have to start out slow with the walkers :-)
 
lol
only about running
 
I want to know how to run correctly to improve performance and not get tired fast.
 
1:24 PM
I just started jogging 3 times a week
then I got faster
need to start again
 
When I don't run for long and start running, I get excessive saliva secretion. Weird... Maybe asthma has to do with it...
 
@Boris_yo music. when i am hiking up a hill, cadance music is helpfull. just start be-Bopping up the hill.
not any specific kind, just something to rhythm to.
at the top of the hill helps to have zanthrusia, or eye of the tiger , or theme from rockey to finish it :-)
 
@Psycogeek I listen to Enigma 90% of time.
@Psycogeek You also listen music when running?
 
@Boris_yo I run very rarely. like when the dog is all hopped up, or to get to the next "I aint gotta pick up the poop" locations when he is getting antsy/ready to drop one, or Down hill.
 
@Psycogeek Haha. Tadada-tadada.....
@Psycogeek You jugg most of the time?
 
1:33 PM
@Boris_yo walk, 2.4mph , mabey 3.0 on a good day.
