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...

I have been doing the cheap keyboard route. 10 dollar MSFT's from Buck, but, they seem to have dried up, so I've tried a couple inexpensive Logitech and another Kensington. All are prety much the same, and, the only thing that really sets them apart is the Seal Shield, which is supposed to be...

After having to create a new user name and password everytime I log into their website, I hope I'm done doing business with them. I have the two keyboards, and, I bought two covers. You might also look at the cheap, 2 dollar keyboards they have for sale. After spending 30 dollars for covers...

I have a pull out keyboard setup, under my desk. The cat gets the desk top, part of the problem with having the server and another keyboard, and the buckling springs are going on drawer, under the main desktop. This should stop any further intrusions, or spills. On top of that, I'm going to...

As much as I'm not a happy camper with these guys, they have some great deals on stuff in clearance: http://pckeyboard.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=PCK&Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=BargainRack I bought a Kentucky bucking spring for 59 bucks, simply because it was too good a price to pass up...

I can't really say Unicomp screwed me on this one, but, circumstances certainly did, and it's my fault for not putting the keyboard in the safest place, and spilling stuff on it. Still, all in all, if I'd known how this was going to turn out, I wouldn't have sent the keyboard back to them: "On...

I know how you feel. I bought my current phone for certain features: Wifi Calling, in particular, which is supposed to be free with TMobile. Well, it isn't, unless you ask for the feature. What Bulls... I'm kind of happy with the setup I've got, other then not being able to root and actually...

Last malware I ran into was running a Czech Supermodel for images. EVERY page seemed to be malwared, and shut down by Nod32. I do use Nod32 at max settings, and the Beast runs it quickly. As Merc has pointed out, why not use a spare laptop I don't care about, just in case I run into a 'rootkit'...

I compared my phone to the Sensation. Appears the Sensation is a 1/2 inch wider. Not sure if it's worth losing the keyboard and the big battery. Seems like the phones should be about the size of a wallet to me.

I had four footed help. Still, the Unicomp seems to attract cat hair, any food particles, and funnel them through the keys to the board. Fit is already tight. Next time I'm putting it in the area that is protected by the desk, rather then on the desk. The Seal Shield seems to be a good...

Update: The unicomp did not take a hit from a wine glass well. Sending it back, and they are going to repair it. Almost not worth it, when you figure in shipping and fees. Panasonic CF 51 finally took a coffee cup on the keyboard, after 11 years. It's dried out, and appears to be in working...

My thought is it's sort of like having another wallet. My phone is about a 1/2" bigger then my wallet, either way, and half the width. I see no reason the screen couldn't be twice as wide, and still fit easily in my pocket. How's the speed on the EVO? I wonder if my 3600 battery would fit...

Hi I'm wondering if anyone has tried the HTC Sensation? Sam got me thinking the 4.3" screen might make up for lack of a Querty keyboard. Not sure if this phone has an SD slot...

That's actually kind of funny, in a weird way. Boot unlocker won't work on mine since it's been updated too far:steam:

The Nokia I had was like a dinosaur compared to 2.3.4 Android.

No natural gas in this apartment. Electric stoves.

Kind of funny, in a way. My ex=roommate, when he was working at PG&E was trying to use SQL server, as it changed versions, and Sharepoint to organize PG&E's massive pipeline database. I guess he made poor decisions on software for the task.

Yes, I noticed that. Always the problem with propane. Once it starts, it may or may not smell. Only one I used was the jet engine type, and, they do smell.

gas is the only option. Considering one of these propane units: http://www.amazon.com/Mr-Heater-Single-Tank-Top-Propane/dp/B00005LEXJ/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

2.0's are the sweet spot, price wise, at Costco for 129.00, and falling. Where 139.

You are correct. I made a mistake. Retesting now. About 1.3 Kwh an hour.

A lot of my work is pulled off assigning websites, that require logins. I have to check this often, and, when I do, typing in a big password is not fun. Also, not really any value to anyone breaking into those sites.

Kind of curious WHY Sharepoint sucks.

Found one of the power problems in the house. I have a cute, old, forced air heater that works great to heat my room. Problem is it just used 100 Kwh in less then a half hour, heating my room. Considering the bill is for about 1200 Kwh, that little session IS most of the problem. Haven't...

CT: The only legacy item I have is the 4000N Laserjet, that may, or may not work through the hub/switch Cat 6 setup. Other then that, I have no use for PCI. The only things on the PCI bus on my server were cards to support SATA drives, since the Supermicro board didn't support SATA. That and...

No s;hit;-) I'm sitting here, thinking about what to do with all this old tech stuff. a 45 pound server case is cool, if for no other reason then air flow;-) I was thinking of trying a minimum build but, to be real, a modern laptop would do what I need this for. I would want to take advantage...

Hi Anyone have reasons for using the different browsers out? Which do you like? What do you like, and what don't you like? So far, using OperaMini, and Opera, Firefox, and Dolphin, though not much. Mainly want to be able to save favorites, easily access, and not have to type in huge passwords...

Tolerance to cold is determined by body fat content, and metabolism. I am fairly fit, and have a slow heart beat, and relatively low body fat. Also, genetic predisposition helps, and, since I'm primarily Italian, the Med is where I am comfortable. I grew up in L.A. for 11 years, and then the...
