Thanks, that's interesting. So bizarre, with OS X and OpenZFS, I had a RAIDZ storage pool which is basically the same, and the read/write performance was great. Took your advice and created a Two-Way Mirror with ReFS instead, which worked fine. Used the GUI to create it as I've no idea how to...

Sorry for the minor thread necromancy, but I'm having issues with setting up Storage Spaces on Windows 10, specifically combining Parity and ReFS. I seem to be able to set Parity across 4 disks up fine, but only on NTFS. I can see ReFS, but when selected it formats.. then automatically deletes...

I'll post the solution in case anyone else searches this, apparently you need to run Synergy as admin, obvious really ;)

Hello chaps, Does anyone here use Synergy? I'm using it on an OS X box (QuickSynergy as host) and a Windows box (Synergy as client). It all works perfectly well, until I open certain programs, like Active Directory Users and Computers, or LANDesk. This kills the connection temporarily, until...

The Asus A7V333? No, just a 20pin connector.

Yeah I was thinking of getting that, this old PSU is 10 years old, don't expect it to last much longer, I was just wondering if it was a technically possible?

I'm building a MicroATX system with the Gigabyte A55M-DS2 A55 or the Asus F1A55-M LX, and I was wondering if I could re-use a PSU I already have. I have an old 300w PSU from a system that was running from an Asus A7V333. The only issue is that the Asus A7V333 and the PSU are 20pin, and the...

I've bought a number of episodes from different seasons of some TV shows, but the default iTunes view separates by Show AND by Season, so for example, I have 3 Seasons of Red Dwarf, and they all appear separately, rather than one 'Red Dwarf' icon. Is there a way to restructure the iTunes...

Alt + Click on WiFi icon and it'll show a load if information about your connection; signal strength, transfer rate, connection type (a/b/g/n) etc. Alt + Click on Audio icon and you can select Audio I/O devices from the volume menu! Open Terminal, type 'say' then anything you want, and your...

SSID is a fairly simple thing to pick up hidden or not, so hiding it is not in any way a security measure. The only prudent security measure is ensuring your encryption method is WPA2 (not WPA/WPA2, just WPA2).

Compared to Ableton Live? Why would you use Fruity Loops?

We recently had it installed where I live, it's very good. Currently, it's a bit up-and-down, but the BT Engineer told me to expect it to fluctuate for a week or two until it settled down. When it does work, I get a connection of around 20MB, with downloads hitting around 4Mb/s! this is...

That's what Skype is for ;)

Adium is better; no ads, customisable, broader support for different IM platforms.

Ubuntu Server comes without any windowing environment, so startx wouldn't have done anything.

Sorry, I didn't make that clear. The Snow Leopard 'upgrade' disk is just a normal disk which can either do an upgrade or a full install. It is technically capable of upgrading Tiger, but because of the rather large differences between the two OS's, you may run into problems (which is partially...

Firstly, I feel compelled to inform you there is no such thing as an iTouch, it's an iPod Touch. More importantly, is it running 4.1?

As far as I know, you can install Snow Leopard on (Intel) Macs that run Tiger, no problem. You can either do Archive and Install, or just back your documents up, wipe and do a fresh install (which I'd personally recommend). Just check that the software you need to run on 10.5 will also run...

If it's in mp4 / m4v / mov / other iTunes format, I don't see why not? When mine arrives I'll test it out and let people know :)
