[QUOTE=Warship;45484248]How does Windows 8 know when to use scaling or not? When I first upgraded to the 1080p panel on my 13" laptop, it automatically set the scaling to 200%[/QUOTE]
EDID normally contains the displays physical size, so from that with resolution you can determine the DPI.
there is a big living in my monitor

yay
get out of my monitor

He was probably there first, you just didn't notice him.
Get out of [I]his[/I] monitor, you illegal immigrant.
ahem, my monitor is 8 years old. I believe I was here first

I've been on the market for a PSP lately, I'm probably going to go with a 300x. The go is nice as far as features go but I don't like the design of it, and the Street is both gimped and hard to find here. Which i a shame, since it's the only [I]matte[/I] black PSP.
whats a good VPS host? as much as I love Digital Ocean, I'm not really using a lot of the resources I pay for (2GB of memory and 2 CPU's). all I really need right now is a low-end VPS with lots of storage space, which Digital Ocean doesn't offer.

The shoulder buttons on the Go aren't great and it can be a little awkward to hold.
If you can get a 3000 for a good price, I'd probably recommend that.
new computers in the school computer lab! yay. something that wasn't necessary. Now we have i5s with 4 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage, but still don't have a stable school-wide wireless connection or even enough CAT5 wiring to hook all of the new stuff up.
Also, people keep leaving the packaging plastic on computers. Fuck everyone who does that.

Angus had a server-farm, M-S-Hyp-er-V
And on that farm he had a Database, M-S-S-Q-L
With a SharePoint Server here and a Primavera Server there,
Here a VPN here, and a DNS there, everywhere a Active Directory

You haven't lived until you do a live VM migration from one host to another, with no service downtime.
[QUOTE=nikomo;45485448]You haven't lived until you do a live VM migration from one host to another, with no service downtime.[/QUOTE]
As a Computer Engineering student, chances are, I'll never get far enough into the VM administration to have to do it.
You have stirred up my curiosity though. How would you do a live migration with no downtime?
Current thought would be... You'd copy the VM over, start it while turning off the old VM at the same time? That sounds like a NAT issue in the making, and you might lose the information that gets changed while you're doing the copying and starting up, unless the entire system data was stored on some form of network storage.
Alternatively, you connect to both ESXis with workstation or the vSphere client, and hope that drag-droping a live VM works?
Guess who got a new job.
Wow, my salary has increased by 400%.
And I'm gonna Switch from Helpdesk/Internal Sysadmin to Full time Software developer. In Java (pls don't hit me) :o
[editline]24th July 2014[/editline]
Oh shit oh shit im so happy I forgot to breath.
only way I know how to migrate without downtime comes with data loss, and that is to simply just leave the old stuff running, migrate data over to new, and once new is ready, turn on that then turn off old, update DNS stuff etc. of course you're going to lose all the newer data, so I usually just shut it down completely when migrating
Just called like seven bestbuy locations, it was all worth it though. the 7th store was willing to bend the rules and price matched micro center's price on an i5-3570k. Free shipping to my door, and they even used my gift card which made the total just $180.19 for a new cpu. hells yes

Bought a £20 DP->DVI adapter and can confirm it works perfectly on my laptop with only Intel graphics driving a 2560x1440 DVI Korean IPS

I bought one of those korean monitor with a AD-board and DP port instead. It's cheaper than buying a bypass model + DP > DVI-DL converter
[QUOTE=B!N4RY;45486816]I bought one of those korean monitor with a AD-board and DP port instead. It's cheaper than buying a bypass model + DP > DVI-DL converter[/QUOTE]
Back when I bought my korean (a long time ago) the difference between the ones with the AD board and not was significantly more than £20, so I'm pretty happy with this setup.
Besides, I heard that the ones with the AD board have a higher input lag (and aren't ocable, they just drop the frames instead) so I'm quite happy with having the direct DVI-D connection when I'm connected to my main rig which can push those sort of frame rates.

I'm planning to use the monitor primarily with my macbook, so I actually need an ad-board model. I doubt the input lag is significant though.

Ah, that would make sense then. For productivity I doubt you'd notice any input lag at all.

I haven't done it on any other platform, and it's literally been years since I did it, but if you're using KVM with Proxmox, it will basically create a live copy of the system, send it over to the other host, kill the VM on original host, start it up on secondary host, and then broadcast to the router that the IP is now located at another MAC address.
If you have a very large VM, it will stop everything for a few seconds, but if you're just running a DNS+print+whatever services that aren't large, the VM is unavailable for a maximum of a few hundred milliseconds, which isn't a problem in most cases.
Never do it during business hours, but if you have to do it, sacrifice a goat to Ballmer and Satan, and recite a protective spell from your BSD handbook.

huh what, my laptop now has a 40Hz option
[img]http://i.imgur.com/tIDz162.png[/img]
Interesting, according to my batterymeterthingamajig, the computer uses 2 watt less in idle when it's in 40Hz than 60Hz. Which brings the entire computer down to 7W. Dat power saving tho.
I finally found a use for all the shitty codecs included with Premiere Pro 2.
I'm crunching some videos to put on a Windows 95 machine. I'm spitting out 180p videos at 30fps, 44.1k audio, 256 colors and only using around 150mb of space for clips five minutes long. God bless Video for Windows.
