Oh and BTW I have a great suggestion for you MG2R! I was looking at your guide and noticed that you had trouble with SSH-Key based logins and disabling password-based login because you would not be able to manage the server from new computers. The solution is to go to www.authy.com and setup two-factor auth on your ssh server. You have to open your own developer account (The basic tier is free...and includes enough auth calls for most home/small business) and install the Authy program onto your linux machine from this website (https://www.authy.com/products/ssh#features). Then, install the program and it will take your existing sshd_config settings and add a couple more settings and it will ask for your Authy API key...If you created a developer account, you should have created a new application from the developer account, which would have given an Authy API key...just submit that into the server and you now have two factor auth on your SSh server. (assuming you created the account and installed the authy app) Now, in order to access the SSH server, you enter the password and a two-factor authentication token from your phone's authy app
 
In order to enable two factor authentication the instructions are here https://www.authy.com/products/ssh#installation
 
Well, I gotta run, hopefully I can flesh out this guide a bit more in the near future

lol, i bet the people who paid thousands of dollars for a phone with flappy bird pre installed are not too happy about this.

If 'this' is referring to the recently updated installation section, then yes, that took a little over three hours from start to finish.
 
If 'this' refers to the complete guide, then, no. The complete guide isn't counted in hours, rather days
 
I don't have much time, but it helps to simply only sleep 4 hours a night

How on earth do you have the time to type all of this? This easily took you 2+ hours!
 
If only I had that kind of patience.

Thanks Sheldon! I will have to check it out at my school

I just bought a new SSD from Kingston (Kingston HyperX 3k 120gb). I bought it to upgrade my old laptop's HDD which is starting to fail. I was looking on their website to see all the features and I noticed something called S.M.A.R.T? What exactly are the benefits of S.M.A.R.T? Can anyone explain?

Awesome!

Canon just introduced a new EOS 70D, which is the successor to the ever popular 60D. Canon is introducing a new type of technology which they are calling "Dual Pixel CMOS AF" which uses Phase detection autofocus instead of contrast detection. This combined with their silent STM lenses should provide a very good autofocus experience...Some other cool features include a wifi antenna onboard which allows you to control the camera from your smartphone...Canon says this camera changes the game in terms of video quality from a DSLR...so what do you guys think??

"Mistysilver" (A redditer) who aparently works at Micrsoft started the news, which in my opinion isn't much news at all: "The Xbox one isn't having a  good receiving on Reddit and the Xbox team knows that
 
And Reddit actually has a policy on this (From their Please Don't's):

LOoks like I'm going with a media pc with Steam big Picture...SO MUCH BETTER EXPERIENCE IT IS NOT EVEN FUNNY ANYMORE

LOL something interesting, but I wouldn't worry about them attacking data centers :)

Come on guys? Am I the only one here that has tried a 3570k sandwich? Transistors are delicious ;)

I recently saw this video which is going viral...I just hate it when teachers don't even teach properly but just give packets. That's not even the annoying part...The annoying part is that the teacher completely disregards him and doesn't try to understand what makes him and his fellow students learn better...She literally says "Bye" and "leave", and the fact that he only cursed once was phenomenal, (only when the teacher accused him) showing that he has more self-control than the teacher...This guy deserves an award https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bQ2VAV3HYdU

Better than crucial's mid stream revision of the m4 packaging but the statue weird me out a bit

So, A couple months ago I bought OCZ Vector 128 GB. So i thought why don't i do a review after my experience with this drive as my main drive in my PC (OS and other important data).
 
Please do enjoy and I don't mind critics.
 
Any comment would be appreciated.
 
Physical Look, Packaging and Color Scheme 
First of all, i love things with minimalist looks. and this SSD looks good with blue color scheme system. But of course this won't be a problem in a windowsless system. What about competitors look?? well this is my first SSD, But by looking at pictures of other competitor, there are better looking SSD to be honest.
 
The packaging itself is pretty simple and the included accessory is not bad at all.
These are the things that are included
-The Drive itself
-Documentation (Manual)
-Screws
-A 3.5 inch to a 2.5 inch drive tray
-OCZ sticker
 
And also you get free far cry 3 too.
 
As expected this SSD has an amazing finish. Not Ghetto finish like on some other SSD (not saying any names).
 


Installing on A System
I'm using CM storm Enforcer as my case and let's be honest it is not my best experience installing this drive. Not because this SSD has a bad mounting system. It's rather my fault. I put it the wrong way around and spent my time looking for missing screw. Also I don't understand how to use the provided bracket in my system.
 
But overall if you have better mechanic and better mounting system in your case this wouldn't be a problem at all.
 
Performance and Reliability
How does this thing performs? Just like what Linus say about SSD. The difference in booting time between this SSD and my hard drive is crazy. My SSD would be ready to use in 20-30 seconds after I press the power button. In the other hand my hard drive took about 3-4 minutes between the moment i press the power button and ready to use condition (what I mean by ready to use is i got into windows and all my startup program, gadget are running and my processor is stable in usage).
 
Also I noticed huge speed improvement in installing windows (using usb in my case), Opening programs (installed in my ssd), also in copying data and perhaps many other improvement that I don't realize.
 
What about Reliability? I'ts been running smoothly except when i accidentally hit the SATA cable (not as bad as what Linus did to the forum server a few moths ago) then get blue screen while loading windows And also there is this one incident where suddenly it takes     2 minutes for the SSD to be ready to use (tried restarting PC, turning on/off TRIM, changing SATA 3 ports) where in the end i tried re installing windows and it fixed it.
 
Conclusion
 
How does this drive stands?
This is one of the most satisfying product i had in recent years. Love the long warranty and the finish. But kinda lack on the price which is  slightly more than other competitor.
 
Does this drive worth the money?
Yes, But please do remind yourself that some competitor product may have similar performance and cheaper price. But the decision is still yours
 
pros:
-Great performance
-Looks great in blue color scheme system
-Nice included accessory
-Great finish
-5 Year Warranty
 
cons:
-More expensive than other competitor with the same capacity and similar performance
-Had some problem while installing it (maybe just my fault, don't take this into account)
-Had some problem in early days of having it (The SATA cable is my fault)
 
 
Note: this review is made based on my experience with this drive
Note: the reason I get this drive and not the other drive because Samsung SSD, Crucial SSD and many other SSD is not available in my country.

Yes, Intel was demonstrating Thunderbolt with 20gb/s
