    Alabama man gets $1,000 in police settlement, his lawyers get $459,000

    Well... 1. The guy was speeding (causing a high-speed chase) and rammed a few cars endangering those other people's lives. 2. The City settled to prevent a larger payout (probably from losing).  The lawyer will receive $100,000 for expenses and $359,000 in fees.   Sounds like smart decision...

    New FTDI Windows driver bricks fake FTDI chips

    So the title says bricks.  I'm assuming it simply won't read/acknowledge the fake ftdi chip and it'll still work on other computers without this kind of update? Because my understanding of bricking (e.g. like a phone) is basically making the device unusable.

    New FTDI Windows driver bricks fake FTDI chips

    So... How about for those who don't deal with all these, care to give me a crash course on what a FTDI chip is and how it's most commonly used?  I'm assuming it has to do with Ardunio and whatnot, but just want to be sure. Thanks!

    LET Down?

    Apparently several people are claiming that LET may have accidentally banned your IP (due to a shoddy script to stop DDoS attacks).  Check from a different IP or something.

    collectd and slave/master usage

    Seeming as we have a ton of incredibly knowledgeable people around here, I have a question to make. I have Collectd installed on both the slave (monitored) server and the master (monitoring) server.  Unfortunately, the slave server is a very low-resource server (64 MB RAM) and therefore doesn't...

    Donated and Excited to see this happen! I'm probably more excited about the Rust and the CS:GO competition than anything else!  Mark your calendars!

     You would think it'd just work since you already spent so much time on it!

    Datashack.net (Kansas City) To Migrate Colo Customers with 1 Day Notice

    It was probably one of those locations that ended up being reclassified as a brownfield and large tax subsidies were given to whichever company helped clean it up and make it usable.   A while back (I want to say 90s or 2000s or so?) there were too many locations classified as a superfund site...

    Hard Drive Failure

    Ugh.  Sometimes its always the smallest thing that ruins a great thing. I remember one time finding out it was the power cable to the entire computer that needed to be replaced.

    mail-count script

    This reminds me of a feature on Zimbra.  Get daily mail notifications on the previous day's stats (how many incoming, how many sent out, etc.) Basically... THIS IS REALLY USEFUL :)

    Dacentec New Price Schemes - Lowers Costs - Rent Only?!

    Yeah well for me Dacentec's prices on RTO hardware was similar to that of a standard dedicated server in other locations, so I had the "might as well" mentality on it.  "might as well own it if I can and colo it then".   The manual contacting them after the RTO period is done is simply to make...

    Excel Media Player

    Alright so yes I saw this on Reddit.    https://pay.reddit.com/r/excel/comments/2jtd2f/worked_on_a_completely_locked_down_machine_time/   This guy basically made a Media player (Audio and Video) in Excel, due to his work monitoring the processes running on his computer.  This is ridiculous.  ...

    What are you listening to right now?

    Somehow reminds me Skyrim with rocket launchers and chainsaws for hands.

    Converting from Server Form Factor to a Workstation/Tower

    Haha.  Quite possible. I went to the tech center around here a week or so ago.  They don't sell any P series RAM.  If I did want some, I'd have to buy as a large bulk. To be perfectly honest, I don't really want to buy 100 ECC DDR2 RAM sticks just to use one...  I'm thinking of taking...
