    Google is now Alphabet, Inc. Wut?

    Yes, I do understand TLD and DNS, which is why I made the comment. I haven't seen any professional company using .xyz. There's a good reason why .com has been dominant, it's easy to remember, and that was the whole point of DNS. Adding all these hundreds of other TLDs doesn't seem to be...

    Google is now Alphabet, Inc. Wut?

    Can't say I know of any real company that thinks it's okay to use anything other than .com. It doesn't matter, just looks unprofessional, imo.I do wonder if they are going to go after alphabet.com as BMW doesn't really seem to be using it for a web presence. edit: nm, alphabet.com is a real...

    X99 boards with PCI-E 3.0 and 4 lanes for NVME, bandwidth is 3.94GB/s. PCI-E 4.0 doubles the bandwidth per lane, so we could see an 8GB/s storage interface in a month or two. As to when there will be a drive that can take advantage of that, who knows, but I imagine we will have ~4GB/s...

    Guys we are talking about a skylake build. The skylake chipsets are going to have nvme built in. Yes the SM951 costs more, but if money is no object, that's a sane purchase.

    ^^What's wrong with the not-interface-handicapped SM951 nvme? Performance wise it handily beats the 850 Pro.

    Our girls will be 3 in October and while they get to brush their teeth at bedtime, we follow up with our own brushing after they are done. Then they get to floss with floss picks and we follow up again with that. We let them brush totally on their own before they take a nap, so that is good...

    Smokers / Grills

    I have a set of grill grates. I used them for the first or second year with my Weber Spirit E-320 while the "enameled" iron grates that came with it rusted to shit. The next year I replaced those with stainless steel grates and I haven't bothered with the grill grates again. They do help with...

    Legit as in they work is not the same as legit as in legal. MS doesn't sell individual retail keys for those prices no matter the quantity. These are probably some form of volume licensing keys that allow up to 500 activations and they are being illegally sold.

    Personal FTP Server Help

    The ftp test says its failing on the pasv ports you set, 50000-51000. Those need to be forwarded in your router as well. That may or may not be related to the duplicate folder issue. I've never seen that. Maybe it has something to do with the way you have your ftp user accounts set up, I would...

    My wife had to go back to work when our girls were around 6 weeks old and my job allowed me to work from home. So I took care of them for about two weeks on my own before our au pair came into the country. You should talk to your wife about you doing less and less as this last week...

    I think the general thing is that the problems that go along with having more than a singleton are more and more exacerbated with every additional baby. You'll probably need to see an MFM in addition to the regular OB, and be prepared for an early delivery and time in the NICU. Get all the baby...

    Our girls were started on bottles in the NICU, only one of them fed off the breast, the other one couldn't do it. She'd open her mouth wide and move her head back and forth trying to get the nipple but couldn't figure it out. She still does the same motion today when trying to eat something big...

    Btw crazy pregnancy hormone stuff can linger on for 6 months post delivery. And there's the postpartum depression to watch out for. Ties in nicely with the baby hopefully being easier to deal with around 6 months as well. Just in time for the stressful holidays and cold+flu season.
