How stuff works , computer.howstuffworks.com/power-network3.htm check out how powerline networking works :-) "A parallel cable is plugged into the wall device and into the parallel port of the computer. The power-line network must be the last item connected to the parallel port. For this reason, if you have anything else connected to the parallel port, such as a scanner or Zip drive, it must have a pass-through for the parallel port. "
Aka how stuff worked 13 years ago, as the article is dated 2001.
@JourneymanGeek that is what i thought too, although i have had and used parellel port networking, at that time i had never heard anything about piping it through the powerlines.
technology changes so fast, to retain the knowlege of the past, would be to strain the brain. Damn the history on with progress :-)
(which just leaves the slight issue of all the new bugs , that eventually will be fixed, prior to obselecence)

Mouthfeel is a product's physical and chemical interaction in the mouth, an aspect of food rheology. It is a concept used in many areas related to the testing and evaluating of foodstuffs, such as wine-tasting and rheology. It is evaluated from initial perception on the palate, to first bite, through mastication to swallowing and aftertaste. In wine-tasting, for example, mouthfeel is usually used with a modifier (big, sweet, tannic, chewy, etc.) to the general sensation of the wine in the mouth. Some people, however, use the traditional term texture. Mouthfeel is often related to a prod...

@Andrew Why do you want another primary partition anyway? It's likely possible to work around it with MBR if you really want to. Though GPT is definitely the cleaner solution.
@Andrew Depends on your OS, or whichever partitioning tool you want to use. But back up the data first because if something goes wrong you can lose your data.
I recently have upgraded my PC, my new Motherboard (ASUS M5A99X EVO) uses UEFi instead of the regular MBR option.
I have a Ubuntu 11.10 installation that I did when I had my previous hardware (MSI MS 7267) , Ubuntu alone boots fine, and so does Windows 7, however Windows 7 is using UEFI (GPT) bo...

Audioquest states that the battery will last for years since the negative terminal of the battery is connected to a center cable and the positive to the bias shield with no closed circuit.
Wow. They've found a way to make a cable worse than standard ones for >100x the price
Sometimes, you've gotta wonder what these people are smoking.
How do they function in society?
Do they just make up their own language where all this actually makes some sense?
Or is it an "ooh, big words, it must be good!"?

I give up. That's enough for today.
@JourneymanGeek The comments make me sadder...
Oh look a smart one

It's very hard to be subjective when reviewing things like USB cables. Unless the cable is out of spec, there are probably few differences to be heard.
That's where imagination and creativity has to come into play.
I quit reading a certain audio magazine after they reviewed an ethernet cable and said it made a difference in a busy rack. The crooks should have bothered to study TCP/IP a bit first.
...then the reply
> I think your implications are from being uneducated on USB audio Submitted by tbrads on April 22, 2013 - 6:47am
USB cables definitely sound different, based on their architecture and quality of materials. You see, in delivering a Microsft Word document across USB there is no penalty for timing errors or noise on the line (from the 5V often used by DACs); for realtime audio that is another thing all together. If you don't hear USB cable differences your system is not up to task.
i donna get it, if they make better audio DATA cables , why wouldnt they also make better video DATA cables, and why wouldnt a person observe when a single pixel was faulty in a high definition video than when a digital audio wave was off by a minor ammount. Or even latencies, or borked packets. compressed digital video data can go to hell in a handbasket when a single bit is screwed up within the compression.
A full uncompressed audio stream could be off here and there and there are not human ears whom could discern the differances. so if a person could hear the difference, then couldnt it also be very easily seen by using the same cables to do something really tough ?
ahh uncompressed audio is easy, try doing an uncompressed full HD video :-)
Which in reality is being done all the time, because it has to get de-compressed to show, convert , re-code, re-size and all that other stuff (usually).
It was bad enough when reviewers would "avoid the truth" to keep the free shit comming in, but now they are what making up stuff , in competition to create falsehoods ?
They sound like they are discussing a Picasso, which still looks like a monkey painted it :-)
So what is next, maybe we could get in on the market? AudioNAS, the only high-fidelity Network storage box that Has tranquil trebble, with booming bass, and cloud crisp highs that accent even the worst music into a crecendo of perfectally timed audio data
They certannly are going to need to buy into our new kickstarter project , Flash4Music, working with Sandisk we will create flashchips that work on the octave level (instead of block). Digital audio data will be seperated by octave and stored seperate, so the octaves do not collide with eachother and propegate.
When working with audio and video mixing it and adjusting it and processing it and all, i try and keep it at least "less compressed" right before i compress the hell out of it for distribution.
i have some problems on my virtual server which is running ubuntu precise, lately i have somehow broken my python3 install or something like that and a lot of things it's not working
@Braiam Please don't ask to ask; if you simply ask your actual question, we will help you if we know the answer or can help you find it. This is much faster and simpler than asking if it's OK to ask. As a rule, it is always OK to ask in this channel. Please go ahead.
Hoping someone here is willing to comment... my PC has been acting oddly recently. A week or so ago, it unexpectedly turned on from being powered off. Last night, it shut down (it's on a UPS, and nothing in the logs to indicate any sort of shutdown, it apparently just died). Not really much to go on for a full question, or for searching. Likely early signs of PSU failure?
I can live with getting a new PSU if that's likely it, just looking for a bit of a second opinion I guess. Since both events were totally unplanned, I can't really do much of anything to isolate and reproduce the problem.
"I can't really do much of anything to isolate and reproduce the problem." sounds like hardware problem... I would start replacing the PSU (since is cheaper and easier to replace) and from there move to the mobo
Motherboard replacement almost certainly means new CPU and possibly new RAM; I don't recall off hand what socket this thing is but it's 2½ years old by now.
And it wasn't bleeding edge when I bought it either.
The thing is that both times when this has happened was when I was away from the computer. The time when it powered on on its own accord I was out with the dogs, and when it powered off last night I was asleep. Neither time was there anything in any logs to indicate what had happened aside from what I could observe myself.
@OliverSalzburg Me neither (and that might have had something to do with an interaction between the UPS and the PC being set to power on after a power loss situation), but the unexpected shutdown last night is a little more troubling.
The logs from tonight just show the system coming back up this morning when I powered it on. I did look specifically for anything that might explain the shutdown but nothing. Like someone just pressed and held the power button.
@OliverSalzburg Right. There's a rsnapshot entry saying completed successfully at 02:42 (that's my nightly backup job), a bunch of smartd log entries through 07:24, and then the next entry is from when I restarted the system kernel: imklog 5.8.11, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
@OliverSalzburg At least, I have no reason to believe the UPS is having problems. It's pretty new, too, and last I looked closely at its status reports nothing stood out as out of the ordinary.
@OliverSalzburg I actually had a bona fide power outage back in February when the system ran on battery power for 40 minutes until the AC mains came back.
I've added another HDD since then but that's like a 5% increase in actual power use, tops.
