Judging from the map, I get cold air from Mt. Diablo, and it blows down into this valley. Tends to be 10 degrees colder up there, when the station is working, and it blows towards the ocean, to a another station, Leary. I'm inbetween the two. DD posted the two days it was near freezing here...

Hi Anyone have any favorites, or good experiences in Reno hotels? Value, etc. Thanks GS

Funny, but I just got done redoing the lighting in the house. Prior the mini-flors just didn't do it for me. Expensive, and not that great for light. The month before last, my energy bill was nearly 200 dollars, this from a baseline of between 40-60 dollars. So, I've done the following: All the...

Besides booting, do you notice any difference vs. the two X-25 M's?

"The gain from further improvements is nearing zero as soon as you go SSD in the first place (for normal usage). " Exactly. I haven't been able to notice any difference going from a raid 0 three drive array to a single drive, using the Vertex Turbos. I suspect David has it down going to the...

They do seem to catch everything. It's surprising how much little stuff ends up on your keyboard without you knowing about it, and, if not for the condom, they would go into the keyboard. It's starting to loosen up a bit. At the start it was not working as smoothly as I would have liked. Now...

If I had it to do over, I'd probably go with a single X-25M 120 gig as the boot drive, rather then raiding the two of them. That said, no problems so far, other then having to rebuild once. I'm pretty sure that at 250 MB/sec, with absurd access times, other components are limiting speed, not...

I get static, echo on the other end, dropped words. Speaker phone doesn't appear to work properly all the time on the Wifi network, either. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Works better on TMobile's 4G then it does on my Wifi. I should go down to Peet's and try it, and see if it works there.

I use Wifi calling at home. It's free on Tmobile, but, you get somewhat what you pay for. Dropped words, noise, etc. It should be better. I have a warranty on the phone for a year, so I figure they can take a shot at fixing it. Might be faulty hardware. I suspect you are correct, but, it's...

Dear Sirs: Here are my issues with this phone. The speaker phone is neither loud enough, or does the microphone pick up from far enough away. Volume is an issue. I end up with the phone on maximum too much. Wifi has a lot of static, and doesn’t work well. Battery life is really poor. Perhaps a...

Anyone ever sent a phone back to htc. Rma?

DD: Thanks. That guy did some cool stuff. I always wanted to surf second or third reef pipe on my Sunset or Bay guns, then drive into the inside. I figured, as this guy did, that he would be in before the barrel experts could get into the wave. Downside is turning a 9'4" gun in a Pipeline barrel...

What are the speakers, and what is the output on that setup? What are the statues? Oscars?

Covers/condoms came in. They are worth 10.00. They are made with thin plastic, and actually have sticky on the edges. Peel off, and it holds the condom in place. Nice protection, and very little sound deadening. That seems to come from the bottom of the keyboard. Piece of neoprene might help that.

""Used to" have social phobias? No, it's very much part of my life. It doesn't help that the place where I live is a giant void of anything interesting. Since my life doesn't revolve around high school athletics, church or a bar, there's really not even any reason for me to go out in the first...

Buck is down by San Onofre, IIRC.

Quick stripper story. Phyllis Dameron was my friend, tennis partner, and surfing buddy for maybe, 8 years in Hawaii. Never slept with her, but her husband thought I did. So, I had to cut off the relationship. Wasn't easy. He turned into a bit of a stalker: Phyllis stripped so she could boogie...

Update: Ordered the covers and Kentucky keyboard for 59 dollars, cover 10 dollars. I really like the Kentucky. It has a more solid feel, like the really old model M's. For 59 dollars, I can't imagine anything better right now. GREAT VALUE. Wish I'd bought this in the first place.

"However, it doesn't sound like Dell will make quite as dramatic a move as IBM did — Anderson said that the company would continue to invest in PCs, citing the success of its premium XPS line of consumer laptops and desktops." So much for Dell being totally out of PC's. Good luck with your...

My bad. I was looking at the package and hadn't opened it. This keyboard actually has a connector to the keyboard, and the PS/2 on the other end. I like the feel of this keyboard a LOT. Doesn't quite have the same scrape feel that the smaller keyboard does, and feels a bit more solid. While not...

Keeps getting richer. The original keyboard came in today with the Kentucky Keyboard I ordered. http://pckeyboard.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=PCK&Screen=PROD&Category_Code=BargainRack&Product_Code=UNIKYKB Turns out it has a connection that looks like a giant ethernet Cat 6 cable. IIRC, the...

It's been unseasonally warm. Tonight, and yesterday it was pretty cold. 34 and supposed to rain today.

Forgot to mention he was off last week. Looks like Unicomp believes in vacations, and President's day...

Jim Owens from Unicomp called. I explained the login problem. He said he would get back to me tomorrow, after sending a note to their computer department.

Top Gear is growing on me. Wish I understood half their British humor, but they still come up with good stuff. Motorheads should love this.

I was reading youtube, and someone commented that he looked at the U.S. as being very scary. A country where 50 people own more wealth then 50% of the people, and guess who runs it. I wonder if one, thats true, and if so, if that is the other nation perception of our country? The scary part is...

One of the tricks I learned from Archie Moore: Red meat blood. You want mean, and rage? It works. When I was boxing in hope of the 1980 Olympics, and doing martial arts I would take the blood and fat run off from the prime ribs we cooked at the restaurant. After the rib was cooked, and when it...

I don't think I ever talk about it much, but the place I worked out at was called Power Unlimited in Santa cruz, from about 1980-85. I learned a lot from these guys. Dave Draper was there: http://www.davedraper.com/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/1584/post/588808/ Reason he didn't want to be bothered...

CT: That kind of training almost never gets into the aerobic heart rate range. Plus, I suspect the diet required to really build muscle doesn't promote low blood pressure. Also, steroids aren't known for helping blood pressure, and I suspect they are legal in Canada? I'd start looking at...

The only thing I've ever been in/on that went 0-60 in 2.0 seconds, with the front wheel off the ground, or, what pretty much all F1 cars have done since the 60's: Suzuki Katana GSX 1100 S en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_Katana

Distinct possibility that you aren't training your aerobic system, but your anarobic system. In other words, you have a target range for aerobics, and if you go to fast, and have high blood pressure to begin with, you easily go into a range where you aren't training your aerobic system, but...

CT: My understanding is blood pressure is usually caused by a lack of regular aerobic activity. I'm going into baseball, and just gained 10 pounds, so this is an issue for me. A solution I'm looking at is a small, stationary bike that I could still do work, while I'm pedaling. Your heart has a...

Poppy Montgomery is growing on me. I'm watching the early shows of "Without a Trace" I think she looks better older, in Unforgettable, but, she's still hot, and Paglia has a delivery in these kind of shows, pacing and speech, that I find unique, and enjoyable to listen to.

Can-am was pretty much unlimited. Remember the Vacum cleaner car they finally banned? Porsche had a 2000 horsepower engine ready if Mclaren got close to their 1200 HP 917. I suspect the torque from those huge cubic inch engines made the current, highly regulated F1 cars feel like they had leaf...

No. I picked the best monitor setup for the money I could find. VALUE is what I'm after, and it's the same with the keyboards.

Hi The Vizio is an LCD, and seems to be the sweet spot for text and playing video, at the distances I use it. The 27" Samsung is a new generation edgelit TV t27a300. 1080P, can't tell the difference from the 27" Samsung monitor I have in the other room. The specs don't indicate any difference...

My view is well, a 27" Samsung TV, and a 37" Vizio for monitors. They are huge, and a great part of the experience, so I'm with Sam on this one. Mice and keyboards are the things that allow me to input, and as Maxburn says, they are far to often over looked. If they are really junk, they can...

DD: You are talking F1 vs. CanAm. super small motorcycle engines, against 494 to 2000 HP porsches.

It's pretty easy to erase, and start over with the Panasonic restore disk. Recently it pulled a corrupt file, AVAST found it, quarantined it, and then it was deleted on restart by diskscan.

In all fairness, their customer service prior had been superb. Owen(with my luck, the other owner) called me 3 times over another issue I had with the keyboard, within a week. Their keyboard numbering was kind of strange, with Model M on the bottom of the keyboard, and, IIRC, they also call...

Just remember Porsche stomped on McLaren, and killed the can-am series with the 917. Wasn't real bad with a long tail at Lemans, either. IIRC, those McLarens ran alum block 494 chevies. Would have been a nice motor for my Mustang...

Neil Muyskens Apparently he is the repair guy, and the president/founder, and a former IBM keyboard specialist. "Estimates show Unicomp Inc employs 10 to 19 people and has an annual revenue of $5 to 10 million." So, I'm supposed to be impressed that he has a company that is about the size...

Wonder if he put everyone out on vacation for Presdients' day and maybe a week vacation, and is doing it all himself this week? That's good, because he really needs a better website for his business. Nice that my feedback went to someone that can solve the problem.

Wifi minutes are free on my Tmobile plan. Today I spent nearly 3 hours on the phone, at home, on Wifi, no charge. Reception coming home late last night on their cell network was the same, or worse. It does appear resetting the phone has helped considerably. The microphone works better, picks...

email, and yes.

Thanks. Nice to know what you are dealing with.

On the phone with HTC right now. Apparently I'm not the only one with poor wifi calling quality. As a phone, it isn't really good. Speaker phone was better on the Nokia 5320. Soft reset, done. factory data reset. call 888617 1113. Wonder if this will take me back before the update? We'll see.

I think you are right. Seems there are 3 people, Owen, Neil, and the answering machine voice, probably a secretary. Neil maybe the repair guy, or might be someone else. Granite Digital is a similar setup. They are kind of proof that you can pull it off, and do it well, with a small crew, out...

I should also mention calling them is worthless. Last two weeks, nothing but answering machines, and no return calls.

They must be milking PG&# for a place to store and access their pipeline data. Maxburn: It did work out, it just cost me a lot of money in shipping, and they didn't clearly state up front that it was going to be two way shipping, and 30 bucks to repair, if it wasn't a warranty issue. I got the...
