Broken dryer belt Paul A. • Prince Frederick, MD • April 01, 2014 Appliance: Whirlpool Electric Dryer LE9800XSN0 My Repair & Advice My wife and I were wondering what to do and we needed to save money so as I was surfing the internet I noticed there were videos showing how to repair this.I watched one and discovered I could fix it myself. I found the part for our dryer took the top and front off and fixed it and it has been running great ever since. Whlie I had it apart I even vacuumed the dust out of it. Was this review helpful to you?
Dryer would stop heating up would just go cold Florindo C. • Hawthorne, NJ • March 31, 2014 My Repair & Advice Well after googling the problem found out could be gas coils so I went on ur website you had video on how to repair took me about half hour. Just need to remember how the belt and tensioner come apart and goes back on.lol Thank you appliance partsPros.com Was this review helpful to you?
Gas dryer flame would not stay lit Tom J. • Warrenville, IL • July 17, 2014 Appliance: Model MAYTAG GAS DRYER My Repair & Advice I posted a question on the Appliance Pros forum and quickly received responses saying that the problem was likely the flame sensor. I ordered a flame sensor from Appliance Pros and it was delivered in less than 36 hours. I replaced the old part and the dryer is now working fine. This isn't the first time that I received help from Appliance Pros. It's so good to know that there are experts who can help me diagnose appliance problems. I really appreciate it. Was this review helpful to you?
I needed to replace my dryer lint screen Jesse L. • Chicago, IL • July 22, 2014 My Repair & Advice After trying to find the screen in retail stores unsuccessfully I did a google search and found applianceparts pros.com. Order was shipped extremely fast. Was this review helpful to you?
Dryer would not start Brian K. • St Louis, MO • March 21, 2014 My Repair & Advice The thermal fuse did not have continuity and needed replacing. I replaced the thermal fuse and hi-limit thermostat since they came together. The cause was a dryer vent that was very restricted with lint. I vacuumed out the dryer and replaced the vent hose. Now my dryer works great and takes much less time to finish. Was this review helpful to you?

Just thought I'd share this.
My sponsor and his sponsor and I all attend the same meeting, our home group in fact. Sometimes a lot of the old timers show up and there is an incredible amount of sobrietyin the room, just miraculous really.
One time my sponsor chaired, and called me to share. Then he called his own sponsor to share. Then that man's sponsor closed the meeting. One of my sponsees was there too. He will be sponsoring very soon.
It just amazes me when a link spanning the years like that is evident in the room. Makes me appreciate and be grateful for this amazing fellowship that we are part of.

I'm pretty well competent in doing plumbing, electrical, construction, you name it. Bought the faucet as price wise it looked a great buy compared to the local home stores as the price was about the same as a standard name faucet set. Upon arrival the faucet is impressive. The lower section is quite heavy and looks well made. The sprayer retainer has a couple of set screws to hold in a plastic guide for the thing to pivot on. The upper portion is a heavy chrome spring (chrome finish faucet) with a standard looking flex hose run in the middle of it. The sprayer head is very heavy with a good feel to the handle and has a loop that flips over the top of the handle to hold the sprayer on if you want to wash veg etc. without having to hold the handle down to get the spray. Whole thing is very commercial looking. The little flip handle at the end of the faucet allows you to divert the water. You can have both the sprayer and the faucet going at the same time or you can turn the little handle piece at the end of the faucet and gradually turn the water off on the faucet side so only the sprayer works. Flow wise it seems plenty to me. We have good water pressure in our home so don't know if that makes a difference, but the sprayer and faucet run a good jet of water that seems plenty powerful for what we need. Any more and I would think that the water would be hitting whatever you are spraying and splashing everywhere. Still might as it is now. Main control is the handle on the side down low. With the handle tilted out from the faucet the water turns on. Takes a bit of getting used to not to pull it too far and have the water full on. Does not take much range of motion to do. Feels solid and not flimsy. Straight up is cold and if you turn the handle towards you is hot. Turns (going off memory now) approx 90 degrees from straight up. So, worked well for us as we were concerned with the range of motion of some faucets we looked at and felt they would hit the back splash and so we'd have to turn the control more towards the sink to clear. Not a problem with this one as the range of motion puts all action out toward the sink. Hope that makes sense. Both the facet spout and sprayer both pivot so you can put the water where you need. Issues. Not been in that long so longevity I don't feel I can comment on. We felt, for the price, we could install it, use it and if it had a problem that was not in warranty then we were not out any more than a regular faucet. Looked at a Kohler that was approx the same as this one (had a arched tube instead of a spring and a standard looking pull out sprayer hose with a really nice head on it) that was $1000! Felt this was quite a bargain then! Instructions. I'm pretty handy. The instructions are a little vague. Connection of the hot and cold lines - when they are talking about left and right on connection lay the faucet assembly down with the main controller facing the right. The hose connections are angled, but one is more to the left than the other and this is how I hooked it and it works correctly. Turn to the red position on the main controller and the hot water comes on. There are two rubber washers in the kit. Might have missed where they go as all you get is an expaneded view picture, but looked to see and did not really see where they go. I finally (and perhaps not correctly) put one on the connection of the flex pipe with the spring around it to the main unit as it looked like it needed some seal there. Also, maybe need to take a better look, but could not decide which way the spray retainer should be sitting. The retainer is cupped on one side and flat on the other. With it installed with the flat surface up the connection for the spring hose is easy to get too, but then the spring just slides around and can twist at an angle. With it flipped the other way with the cup part up the hose connection is pretty difficult to get in and tighten, but the spring then sits in the cup and is held in place. That is how we have it installed now. Last is a comment on mounting. Instructions are clear enough, but it would have been nice to have something that looked a little more sturdy. Perhaps a threaded collar made on to the base, in a diameter to fit a standard faucet hole, that would slide through the sink or counter and then a retaining washer and nut that could be tightened on so that you had a wider load spread and perhaps less chance of movement within the mount hole. The soap dispenser we bought looks more sturdy of a mount. What the faucet comes with is a threaded hole at the bottom that a 3/8 or so stud mounts in. This and the hoses slip through the hole and then a horseshoe metal retainer (to allow the hoses to pass through) and a rubber seal are what retains everything. You just tighten a small 7/16 wrench nut on it. With the weight of this thing it just seems like it could have been designed more stable. I tightened it as much as I dare (mounting in silestone counter) and it does not move or wabble, but wonder about maybe having to go back in down the road to retighten. Just seems a flimsy mount compared to what it could be. Might be fine though. Hose connections - simple enough, they screw to your hot and cold pipe connections. Only issue I had was the flex lines that come with the faucet were too short. Had to go buy some hoses to extend the length to reach the lines. Guess last word of caution is that this thing is HEAVY! If you are mounting to a sink itself and the gauge is not thick enough you may have issues. Nothing to support this, but just a feeling. Hope that helps. NOTE: so far I'd recommend, but again has not been in long so no longevity comment. Feels pretty sturdy, metal for the spray head, metal base etc. Looks great for the price.
OMG, this thing is fantastic! I saw one just like it for $3,200 at a designer showroom. Then I saw this and read alll the positive reviews so I bought it. It came two days later! This faucet was heavy and quality just like the one in the showroom. I had a plumber install since I saved so much on the purchase and he was super impressed with the quality. Everything works great and the water pressure seems double my old one. My wife loves it and it looks fantastic in our super modern house. Maybe the best on-line purchase I have made.
Faucet appears to be already assembled however the installation instructions direct you to take it appart. Even more frustrating is that in the instructions they refer to 'part numbers and part names' but when you look at the drawing, the part numbers do not match up to the part names in the directions. Its almost as though i got installation instructions for another faucet but i didn't. They are the correct. I am thinking of just installing it with common sence but the errors in the installation instructions makes me nervous. It should be a very easy installation as there is only the faucet, 2 hoses and a few washers to install. So far i am not impressed. Also, when i squeeze the sprayer, it squeeks and makes a sound as tho something inside is scratching against the chrome. The faucet seems like a '2nd' or one that didn't pass quality control. My sister has the $1000.00 version of this faucet and the difference is obvious to me. I guess you really do get what you pay for.
Love the faucet. Even though we had a leak with ours (from the spray handle .. couldn't be fixed), I would still recommend this unit. I called Kraus, gave them the details required and they sent me another handle (unscrew the defective one and screw the new one on ... easy) right away. No hasssles. Loads of compliments!!!
altho i have had so many compliments to the look of this faucet i find that the sprayer has a constant leak. i havent taken it apart to see if there is a gasket i can replace, for the price a leak isnt accecptable.
My wife and I both love this faucet! Although at first my wife was initially reluctant, she quickly saw the advantages that this faucet had to offer. The sprayer pressure is good and installation did not present a problem. General info for those looking at this, pay the extra money and get the stainless steel version. It will be well worth the money!
Its awesome. Works great. My plumber is a high end installer and was super impressed.
Looks great and works beautifully. Exactly what we were looking for in look and functionality. Totally satisfied with the product and the price. Our son has the same unit and feel exactly the same way.
Materials are very solid and well made. Looks amazing with oversized sink.
Great product, looks stunning

a white raprocker from the Detroit area who thinks women should be on their knees giving head to "macho" studmuffins like himself. His songs are obscenity - ridden pornographic sexist trash. He thinks that because he supports George W. Bush, wears a flag, cusses like a stevedore, supports the Iraq war, "supports the troops", smokes cigars, covers cock rock "classics" and likes Bob Seger that he's an "American Badass". He also calls himself the BullGod. He scored a big hit with Sheryl Crow that was Number One for God knows how many weeks where he whines about "since you been gone I'm in the hotel room with cocaine and whiskey". Well boo fucking hoo, Kid Rock, I really feel sorry for you. Wah! He had a hit album called "Cocky". Well, Mick Jagger is cocky, but he is cool. He and the other Stones are a talented thrill. The title says says it all about Kid Rock. He is an American Asshole. Another example: a Kid Rock song titled "You'll Never See Another Motherfucker Like Me". He's the one who said it. The stacked Pamela Anderson is married to this cretin. He's an arrogant, stupid all-around shithead.
Kid Rock is a prime example of what's wrong with popular music today. Just a bunch of vulgar no talent, image-conscous, arrogant trash, with egos bigger than planet Jupiter. Rotten crap.

A greasy, insolent subhuman. A talent lacking "musician" who should be euthanized, if not, sterilized immediately. Greatly resembles a sewer rat. Is incapable of presenting himself in a clean hygenic manner. Kid Rock, as well as his fans, believe that whoring around with HIV Positive women is a proud accomplishment. Glorified white trash.
Kid Rock is a dirty, talent lacking, shit eating waste of life. People who listen to him are no better.

A supposed 'gangsta' from Detroit, who actually grew up in the upper class rankings of a rich family, an hour outside of the city. A man who suffers from small penis syndrome, but attempts to mislead the world by saying otherwise in his lyrics. He keeps his coke in his right front pocket and a wad of $1 bills, that are wrapped in a single $100 bill in the other. His fan base doesn't have any teeth, and are typically morbidly obese. He's coined the phrase "I'm On A Motherfucking Boat!" and hopefully the next time that shipload of white trash sets sail, it sinks. All it will take is one extra ticket to be sold to exceed the boats maximum weight limit and VOILA the world will be a much better place. If he takes Ted Nugent with him...Detroit will RISE AGAIN TO GREATNESS!

Also, Qt on android now officially falls under the KDE Free Qt Foundation agreement
Phoronix: Qt 5.2 Final Release Is "Coming Really Soon"
Digia has provided an update concerning the state of the Qt 5.2 final release, which could be out as soon as next week...
Also, Qt on android now officially falls under the KDE Free Qt Foundation agreement
Qt Free Edition is Qt licensed under LGPL 2.1 and GPL 3.
Your arguments have arrived at the point where Qt is not actually Qt. Well done.
This is a great victory for Free Software. Now our developers can develop GPL software for Android, and have a guarantee that the underlying toolkit will remain Free Software forever.
If you didn't hate everything that's not GNOME, you would rejoice.
So no second RC, that is good the hear. Delays are mostly due git code updating problems not code itself then.
ps. It should be wrote as Jani Heikkinen, first name before surname(Yeah digia's mailing system put those names in silly ordering).
History strikes back...
Read the rest of the answers, please...
Furthermore: Do you think Linus Torvalds is fighting for software being free?
Nothing has been relicensed away from GPL, stop making things up.
The power to additionally license Qt under any FSF-approved license (including BSD) simply ensures that closing of Qt cannot happen. It removes any and every financial incentive for Digia or any steward of Qt to close the toolking and stop releasing GPL and LGPL versions.
This guarantee is a win for Free Software. We get dozens of top-notch paid developers working on LGPL and GPL code full time, and we get them for free, with no risk of the tookit being closed. And now we get a guarantee that all this GPL code will also be released for Android, thus making GPL development on that platform easier than ever. Forever.
That's awesome.
KDE users understand the situation perfectly.
Digia has to keep releasing Qt under GPL and LGPL regularly. If they don't, KDE holds the nuclear destruction button that will nuke their company destroy all of their business forever, destroying commercial Qt forever.
The only reason Digia has any business is that Qt is not under BSD, but triple-licensed.
Sounds like a good deal to me.

What could be better than a whole day sprinkled, wrapped, and cooked in bacon? No need to drool any further, we have you covered. Bacon all day, everyday. Or at least a recipe for every meal. From breakfast to a late-night dessert, we have created an all day bacon menu to satisfy all the pork lovers out there. What are you waiting for? Get cooking�the more time you waste the less bacon you get to indulge in. Breakfast: Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Totchos [caption id="attachment_332232" align="alignnone" width="493"] Honest Cooking[/caption]
Forget hash browns, boring strips of bacon, and a fried egg sitting neatly beside one another on a plate. Throw them all together on top of tater tots and kick off a day of bacon the right way! When you combine a classic breakfast sandwich with tater tots, and plenty of bacon, something magical happens.
Lunch: Bacon and Bourbon Grilled Cheese [caption id="attachment_332233" align="alignnone" width="493"] Whiskey Disks[/caption]
This is no ordinary grilled cheese with bacon. Your bacon-obsessed mind will be slightly distracted by the gooey, stringy cheese curds melting between the toasted bread. But lo and behold, that bourbon bacon will bring you right back to pig land and you may never leave.
Snack:�Bacon Wrapped Enoki [caption id="attachment_332234" align="alignnone" width="493"] Honest Cooking[/caption]
There are simply too many hours between lunch and dinner to go without bacon. How about a quick bacon-wrapped snack? These enoki mushrooms are easy to enjoy. Just wrap in bacon, brush with a soy sauce, and bake until sizzling. Enjoy these tasty bites with radish sprouts for a fresh combination.
Dinner: Asparagus Salad with Bacon & BLT Bacon Jam Tartlets [caption id="attachment_332235" align="alignnone" width="493"] Honest Cooking[/caption]
Let bacon be the star at dinner, too. Get your fill of greens with a tender asparagus salad sprinkled with a mustard dressing, hazelnuts, and best of all, crispy bacon.
BLT Bacon Jam Tartlets [caption id="attachment_332236" align="alignnone" width="493"] Honest Cooking[/caption]
Eat on with a BLT, but not in sandwich form this time. This tart will remind you of a salty, bacon pizza, but better inside the crunchy tart crust. Filled with a brandy bacon jam and topped with tomatoes and basil, these tarts are sublime. Grab some balsamic and get ready to redefine you idea of a BLT.
Nightcap: Orange Blossom Bacon and Egg Cocktail [caption id="attachment_332251" align="aligncenter" width="493"] The Daily Meal[/caption]
A true bacon lover would never turn their nose up at a chance to engorge in the salty pork, even if that means drinking with it. Spiked with bacon-infused gin, this orange and honey blossom cocktail with shaken egg whites and lemon juice is perfect for brunch or for the last sweet sip of the day.
Dessert: Sweet Corn and Candied Bacon Ice Cream with Salted Bacon Cookies [caption id="attachment_332238" align="alignnone" width="493"] Honest Cooking[/caption]
Bacon desserts should be all about the flirtatious balance of sweet and salty. If you�re going to have a day of bacon, please, go out with a bang.
We love these two desserts, but what we drool even more over, is the thought of putting them together. Sweet corn and candied bacon ice cream smashed between two chewy, salted bacon cookies. Now that�s an ice cream sandwich.

Are the slides anywhere? I couldn't find any.
Phoronix: Linux.Conf.Au 2014 Presentations Worth Watching
With the Linux.Conf.Au 2014 conference having wrapped up, here's some of the video recordings that I'd recommend worth watching as Phoronix readers...
Are the slides anywhere? I couldn't find any.
Can I create a torrent with these videos?
If that mirror is slow, there's also the torrent here: http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/9467509
Or the magnet URI:
Screw videos. Give me text.
It happen that LCA was held in the city where I work, and it is in the holiday session, so as a long time Linux hobbyist, it was like a dream come true.
Needless to say the first day I was there at 6 AM , I would say it was different from what i was expecting, Linux is a mature platform , and most the attendees are professionals, a lot of people use Macbooks too.
In the three graphics talks that I attended ( Glamor, GLX and DRI3) there was not really any mention of wayland , I had the opportunity to talks to Adam Jackson and Eric anholt, they are really very nice persons.
From what I understood, the plan is to make the display server hardware agnostic and talks to the devise driver using only EGL, either it is X, wayland or MIR.
I don't know about anyone else, but I simply lost it when I saw Lennart's shirt!

Arena shows to fend off the winter blues
Some Stateside arena shows would be an amazing winter perk. If you could convey to Mr. Paul McGuinness that since stadium shows are not possible in Europe and North America during the winter months it would be great to do some arena dates. Even though the 360 stage would not be feasible in an arena setting I would just be thrilled to again see the band in a smaller venue.
18 October, 2009
Thank you
Thanks Willie for all of your engaging entries. And thanks also for reminding us the end is near. I've been patiently waiting for this part, and our tickets have been incubating in my sock drawer since April!!! Bring on Vegas and Vancouver. The end....
17 October, 2009
Put in a good word for us...
Do you think you'd be able to convince the boys to leave the gear state side and give some more love to the red white and blue next spring before you start the show in 08-10?

The rate of liquid copper oxidation plays an important role in the separation of impurities from copper during fire refining.
A finite elements numerical model using FEMLAB 3.1 for the oxidation of liquid copper during top blowing of oxygen/nitrogen mixtures is presented and compared to experimental results. In this model, surface tension driven flow arising from gradients of oxygen concentration in the surface of liquid copper is incorporated using the weak boundary model and is coupled to incompressible fluid flow and convection plus diffusion of oxygen within the liquid.
A transient analysis shows that the rate of liquid copper oxidation is dramatically enhanced when Marangoni effect is incorporated to the model, which explains the experimentally observed rates of oxidation that cannot be explained by diffusion only. Buoyancy forces due to a decrease in density of the oxygen rich melt are also included in the study; this force affects the overall velocity profile, and therefore the oxygen distribution inside the melt.
The model agrees well with experimental results that show oxygen segregation along the height of the liquid copper.

As inkjet technology has evolved, and demand has increased for professional looking prints, inkjet printer cartridges from the original manufacturer have become in some cases rather expensive and for a small number of accurate prints. At the same time consumers overall have been satisfied with the value of their printer, but less so their printer in cartridges. Many manufacturers have emerged to provide remanufactured ink jet cartridges for popular brands of inkjet prints, such as Hewlett-Packard, Epson, Canon, Brother, and others.
Remanufactured inkjet printer cartridges began as small companies selling replacement ink and leaving the consumer to refill the cartridge but today is a much more common business, and the consumer doesn't need to buy strange systems that refill the cartridge. Many large companies, and also public programs provide for ways for consumers to dispose of original inkjet printer cartridges in such a way that they can be refilled and recycled. This results not only in being friendly to the environment but also in savings for consumers who can then buy remanufactured inkjet printer cartridges at a reduced price. Similarly for laser printers there exists remanufactured toner cartridges.
While once branded as being lower quality, the remanufactured inkjet cartridges for printers of today in most cases offer same, or similar quality to those provided by original inkjet cartridges. A savvy consumer can save a lot of money with an affordable price that offers quality, even at cheap prices, for those on a budget.
Many consumers often prefer ink, and cartridges from original manufacturers, but for many, remanufactured inkjet printer cartridges from clickinks serve day-to-day printing needs. Also ordering online can save consumers money because, even though there is sometimes a cost for delivery, buying inkjet printer cartridges in bulk can result in substantial savings.
Even when buying a modest supply, it is worth investigating whether remanufactured inkjet cartridges compatible with one's printer, at a low price, can outweigh the perceived benefit of inkjet printer cartridges purchased from the original manufacturer. For consumers looking for deals, whether it be low volume or high volumes, remanufactured inkjet printer cartridges are a seriously compelling option, which consumers can consider when replacing the inkjet printer cartridges which were supplied with their printer, or those purchased from the original manufacturer of their printer.

2011 iSonic 117(Not-Wide) Fin Talk
Hello Gang,
I come from a Formula WS background mostly so I know I tend to have a very heavy back foot. Recently I bought a 2011 iSonic 117 75cm as my single slalom board I live in Miami and we are not know for very strong winds. We sail slalom from 15+ kts conditions. I am a heavier rider 190-200lbs (88-93Kg) and currently I use a 8.3m2 Sail with a crappy old curtis that I had tumbling around my VAN. I know is not nearly the ideal fin as it spins out quite often and it does not drive upwind at all (leaving me at times having to do the infamous walk of shame) still a pretty fast fin going downwind but that is the extent of it.. now to the question. I read a lot that the board should not go above 46cm but I would like to hear if anybody had other experiences. I was leaning towards a Tectonics F8 Tomcat 46cm but they stop making those fins and now they only have Talons which I hear they are faster but to get the same upwind performance you need a bigger size. I have checked some other fin makers but custom fins are very pricey now days so I am trying to do a good research before spending my hard earned dollars.. has anyone used a F4Fins D2 on the iSonic 117 ? if so how did they perform ? they do have a very attractive price for carbon fins. All experiences are welcome Thanks all |

How much are the f4 slalom fins? I couldn't find the price on their website.

First let me say that I have a Tabou Manta 115 which is 75cm wide not an Isonic, so you can take or leave my comments. I am lighter than you at 74kg and sail San Francisco Bay but I think my findings might be helpful, since the boards are almost identical in size.
I have been struggling to find the right fin for the board. I tried a standard 44cm Talon, it was great if I was very powered off the wind. When it was lite, which is was most of the time otherwise I would be on a 100 liter, it did not work for me with either an 7.6 or 8.5. So I got a 46cm Tomcat (yes Dennis will still make them) much better in the lite wind screams upwind which the Talon would not do, planes much quicker but drags off the wind. Recently I found out Dennis mills the Talons in several different foils thickness to cord ratios, the 9% standard which is very thin, 9.5% and 10%. I talked to him just this week about milling me a 9.5% Talon 44cm which will have a thicker foil so it should plane up faster and provide more power without sacrificing that slippery feeling off the wind the Talon is known for. I like the 46cm Tomcat for the really lite wind more likely in Florida than SF, but for powered sailing I think the modified Talon will work better for the top end of the board range. So talk to Dennis, for the price and consistent quality I don't think you can beat Techtonics. Cheers, Tim |

I have used F4 fins in my iSonic 117 from which used to be the iSonic 121.
The D2 is a great fin when power up they are easy to control and no sping outs. I have tested all sizes and rakes in this fins thru the last 3 years. I think these fins are underrated by the consumer here. They are faster, more slippery and good quality. I have never broken one of the F4 fins and I have used them in all of my boards including my formula boards. But the slalom D2 is one of my favorite fins when the conditions are power up. Just buy a size up Example in the case of a 44cm buy then a 45cm. I can also recommend Vector fins specially the Canefire in carbon. This fins are among the best and many PWA riders used them. This are the fins I mostly use and Jeff the owner always can help in the selectionby the experience of his team riders. |

Hey guys.. thank you for all the replies... so here what happened. By luck I got a pair of Hurricane Fins SS2 Medium Stiffness (46cm,48cm) from a Buddy here in Miami very cheap. Buying both I was given a nice discount and it was still cheaper than getting a deboichet or a Canefire in carbon. Since them, I have tried them with my 8.3 and 9.0 sails and the 46cm seems to be the magic number for the board it goes upwind very well, no spinouts and very fast when off wind.. 48cm holds more foot pressure and trails upwind deeper but very draggy when off wind. no changes in early planing on the bigger one..I haven't yet tested the 48 in very light winds but will probably do this sunday..so if anyone has the chance to give them a try.. do it.. very good...

A deer turned the tables on a man in London, chasing him up a tree in a park.
According to NBC News, the man got too close to a herd of deer in a west London park, and one of the male deer went after him. The man finally climbed up the tree to protect himself and witnesses called police.
Mating season for deer has begun in London, and park rangers are warning people to stay away from the animals during this time -- particularly male deer.
The episode was caught on video. Watch it here.

Phoronix: Excito B3 Mini ARM Powered Server
Many interesting things come from Sweden whether it is Tunnbrödsrulle to Glögg to IKEA, but how well are these wonderful people able to create compact, home servers? After reviewing the CodeLathe TonidoPlug and PogoPlug, Excito, a company from Limhamn asked if we would be interested in checking out their new Linux-based home server, the B3. With that said, here is the review of the Excito B3 home server, which is actually a rather exciting device with its capabilities ranging from being a Bit Torrent download server to a home router with web serving capabilities.
no "phoronix approved" mark???
Can you provide more info about the Wifi controller? Model, brand, and manufacturer, please.
I'm also curious if this can be configured as an access point (wifi router) or station (for bridging local LAN with another LAN wirelessly). My first assumption is that the wifi is used to connect the server to a wifi router.
B3 as shipped today uses an Atheros chip, AR9280.
The Wifi on B3 is used in AP mode to support the built in router. (One could of course configure it in station mode from the command line. But the UI only supports AP mode.)I'm also curious if this can be configured as an access point (wifi router) or station (for bridging local LAN with another LAN wirelessly). My first assumption is that the wifi is used to connect the server to a wifi router.
This looks really nice. I'm using an old computer that consumes at least 10x more power for most of the tasks that this little server can handle. The only thing that is missing is the possibility of installing 2 hard drives. If it allowed this and there was an option for buying it without any drives at all it would be the perfect server. I already have 2x500gb HDDs on my current server, and these would go to waste.
I purchased this summer a Sheeva plug, which is quite similar in the specs and connectivity (just one less ethernet and no wifi). But it definitely fulfills my needs, even though it's more of a development kit than a final product. So I use Webmin to administrate it.
What is missing on the Sheevaplug is a power button, I like to shut everything down when I go to sleep and put it on when I wake. With my internet box and shared usb printer it makes around 50W, and I see no use keeping it on. So its more convenient to have a power button to shut it down without a computer.
What about NFS ? I configured both NFS and samba on my plug, NFS has the advantage to have damn small overhead, and I reach great throughput like 50-60MBps symmetrical. Samba is more around 40MBps, but I've only spent small time configuring it. Even though NFS is not that interesting in home conf, it can be preferred to some, and it would be interesting to see some benchmarks.
Can the wifi be totally disabled, and save some wattage like on laptops ?
Looks real nice, but for $400, my dual atom server was just over half the price for, at worst, the same specs. I can appreciate the form factor and DC power pack as a cause for the price premium, however.
I like that you can get root access. Is the OS running off the hard drive or some sort of embedded flash? I'd be worried about borking the install somehow and having no recourse to reloading the OS.
