VA6DAH's Achievements

  1. I recommend Avast for friends and family. But at home my firewall (HAVP + ClamWin) will take out most threats.
  2. If it was a whole limb and not just part of one, my right arm. If I still had a stump left (enough for a prosthetic) then my left leg.
  3. I would have got that, and I thought my two 8GB Patriot sticks for $79 was a good deal. But is it just me or have prices gone up a bit?
  4. It looks to be a promising competitor against other "secure" messaging apps. With the major selling points being a encrypted, decentralized, multi platform, messaging application. But it is not open source, nor is the source available to be scrutinized by the public. Which raises the question of, are they hiding anything? They very well could be, but compared to application like skype, this is a major improvement. No more passwords, just your devices and encrypted data exchange using BitTorrent. This would protect you from someone compromising a similar but centralized service like iMessage for example and making away with all your sensitive data. tl:dr - There are inherent flaws to Bleep, but it is a step in the right direction and I will recommend it to friends when it is ripe. And I think its great that BitTorrent is creating products upon the protocol, I have sync on my FreeNAS to sync offsite and to my devices.
  5. I block ads, they are usually cluttered with information that really takes away from a good user experience on a website. Instead I donate to sites I use, and profit in some way from. I am a proud user and contributor to the Adblock Plus Project.
  6. I found your channel back in 2010, at the time I had my mind set on building my first custom PC. I ended up building a rig I still use on the i7-2600k in 2011. Your videos helped me determine what I was getting when I ordered online so thanks for that. Since then you have teased me with the latest hardware on a weekly basis, and I want to thank you and your team for that. Keep up the good work, and who comes up with the innuendo.
  7. Galaxy S4 with CyanogenMod 11. So far so great, occasionally unreliable but that's to do with the release channel I picked.
  8. Would be great for some applications. Seen a blade server outfitted with many coprocessors for geophysics applications that the oil field needed. The servers price was nearly 6 figures after costs of the hardware, installation, and future support were calculated.
  9. It is disappointing, but the fact is I won't miss it. I have a nice pair of mackie monitors and an Orbit Turntable, besides that got my rig and cell.
  10. More or less you are correct. But ASIC miners are actually designed for SHA-2 functions. Such as and not limited TLS and SSL, PGP, SSH, S/MIME, Bitcoin, PPCoin and IPsec. But getting them to do aforementioned applications is in a fairly advanced playing field where having to ask the question probably means you can't do it. (I definitely can't) They are so efficient because their made specifically to do SHA-2 hash functions with a very high level of efficiency, by using a application specific integrated circuit.
