I only pointed out my observations, on my home network. So, we now have Sprint, the only truly 'unlimited' data plan, not being so, since it can't handle the load. The iphone on my home network has never been a problem with his earlier model. Now the new one, it is. He's paying a lot of money...

The new 4g iPhone sucks, on sprint... New roomie is a mac guy, sort of. He bought Sprint, 80 bucks a month, 2 year contract, minus taxes, and a 4G iPhone, S. It gets a whopping 1.6 MBPS, and that's on my WIFI network, which does 50 MBPS on my laptop, with an ancient Linksys PCI card. On the...

Water cooling?

http://www.hemmings.com/mus/stories/2011/03/01/hmn_feature12.html Kind of funny. Newman gave me a ride to Santa Cruz in that van. Someone wouldn't get out of his way in the fast lane, and he nearly bumped the guy, nearly being 2". His comment: "It's only sheet metal."

You did sort of get the essence of DD's horns on the D. You recommend, or come into something, and find out the bulb is more expensive then the projector, or close. Mechanics are worse then tech guys, as far as making what would otherwise be a viable idea absurd, by charging overpriced rates...

It just struck me how ironic/funny it is that a couple people, one a moderator, are giving me a bad time for a tangential couple posts, in a forum area named, "Off topic" ROFL Merc: Compared to a Ferrari, a Civic maybe better, reliability wise. However, the Civic was always a highly tuned...

Just in case you guys have been hitting the pipe too much,... "Stereodude Hairy Aussie Join Date: Jan 2002 Location: Michigan Posts: 5,507 I think you're delusional if you think a cheapo noisy conference room projector is a suitable replacement for the Sim2 projector. One is a 3 chip DLP...

Car was built by Spectre Racing in Belmont. By the time they got done, it was a fiberglassed bodied, cage framed, Mustang, with the suspension off their race car. The irony was when we started the guy said I know where you can get a GT40, crashed, for 20 grand. When I got done, I often...

God, I loved this car: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_917 I may have to get a 928 before I die.... For those that don't know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Motor_Sports_Association My mechanics took plans from Ford's IMSA program for the race car suspension. 5 grand to buy...

HMMM. All of my cables are monoprice, most of the lower standard, and all work flawlessly with Bluray. They don't like snaking much. While I was dumping 50k into building an IMSA street legal race car, one of our friends bought a Ferrari for 3000 dollars. Superamerica 400, or something like...

The 37" is in my bedroom, along with a 27" Samsung dual setup. I moved the chair and some surfboards out, so I can back up. Not much point in a HTPC running, when I use mine in my room. If I need to, I'll move the Vizio to the living room. 50" would be better, but, I can move it closer to the...

I'm waiting for a 50" 1080p to come around, at a price I'm willing to pay. So far, only Panasonic 50" 780's are in the price range I'm after. I'm too close to the 37" Vizio, so right now, the HTPC is headless, and, my gf is jumping out of airplanes...

Yes. Even without the breasts, she was an incredibly fit, beautiful woman. I can't help but wonder what the experience of being in San Francisco was like for her. I guess you have to experience being in SF and a public service job that is determined by the whims of the San Francisco voters, and...

I'm pretty sure those are real. That wasn't the issue anyway, it was the story of how a woman looking like that, ended up working 'undercover' in vice, for the SFPD, and what would her life be like.

I never got the chance to ask if they were fake or not. Judging by her profession, and fitness level, I think her reaction might have given my martial arts/boxing skills a workout;-). On the otherhand, she did have a gun and a badge. Generally not a good idea to prevoke with such questions...

Imagine this girl, taller, with a beautiful oriental face, a little thinner, and more muscular, with very small panties and a a huge bra, that you can see everything on, thanks to the skin tight black leoptard, and you get the general idea. I wouldn't view this from work...

This was real life. I worked/interned in the San Francisco DA's office, and in the court, for one year. One morning I was appearing for my attorney, who was late to work, and an incredible fox walked through the court, attired in skin tight, black, stretch clothing, top and bottom, leotards or...

Just watched Condition Black It's about the probably biggest swell to hit Oahu in 100 years. Hit on my birthday, 1/28, 1998. It was a freak, since it was filmed by imax, and featured in the movie, Extreme, also super worth watching. My friends at the time, Dan Moore and Ken Bradshaw are...

First: Thanks for the response. I wish I had known this at the time. I'd just bought two PPC 333 Powermacs, and, when OS 10 came out, all the storage guys just pretty much, dumped macs, or, bit the bullet, and bought new cards, supported by OS X. I wish I would have known of this project...

Just installed a gpu gadget to see how taxing on the 295 UT2004 is. It uses 8906 MB VRAM, kicks the gpus up from 301 Mhz to 596 Mhz. Shader clock at 1242 Mhz. No disk required, fun, quick, and addicting. Only uses about 8% of the processor. Folding at Home was running, but not in SMP.

Sorry about that. I suspect the criminals are the non-boring part. Focusing on the crime is the fun part. Only a couple times in a year did anything crazy happen AFTER the suspect was caught in SF. Also, the Federal Judicial system is usually a plea bargain, with little court time. I will say...

I don't really see how he came to that conclusion. I see it as a bunch of folks coming up with a better OS to run on old PowerPC processors, when Appl was screwing their faithfuls, by not supporting hardware with OS X that cost thousands of dollars. I can't think of anything more secure then...

Sechs: Sounds like Appl. More details? Thanks g

Every once in awhile I saw a great price on clearance or sale here: http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/HomeEntProjectors/Home.do?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&iref=estorehome_shopby_projectors_home#tabs=2

Maxburn: Thanks. I didn't realize it was capped. Kind of kills the entire idea. I was thinking of using Skype on the ipad, or trying it. Also thought the ipads did streaming video, using Flash? Anyway to hook a phone up to an ipad? Is that a good idea with the data cap? I was also wondering...

Whatever. It's a movie. I enjoyed it. I could care less if you know FBI agents, or if they would walk out. It brought up some issues that I find timely. Out of control Federal agencies, or politicians come to mind...or Caltrans.

Any suggestions for a new program based on the UT 2004 series? Any of the sequels any good?

DD: What's the plan cost with the overdrive Pro? Found the device, but, Sprint seems to be hiding the cost per month, contract, etc. link?

I've been considering a barebones phone setup, and an ipad. Isn't it just 15 bucks a month for service from AT&T once you buy the ipad? I'm after a phone that does streaming video, Adobe Flash, and is a phone. Seems to me those cost about 600 dollars, don't usually do all the things I want...

Just got done watching Colombiana(take off on Polyanna?) Zoe Saldana reminds me of an old girlfriend I took to Jamaica. Sand to the beach. That said, I enjoyed the movie. Not high budget, but, I'm running out of movies to rent from Blockbuster. Great footage of Colombia on the flyby. Zoe...

The introduction was worth watching. I liked his 'dropping in' idea. Reed College. Caligraphy. "That windows just copied the mac..." Connect the dots looking backwards... Trust in something. Heart leads off well worn path. How can you get fired from a company you started? Next...

Handurin: I'm reading the article you posted. It explains a LOT of what I've been seeing lately. I'm doing High School Volleyball for girls right now, all over NorCal. EVERYWHERE I go, I see ipads, iphones, etc. By limiting porn on the idevices, Jobs created the PERFECT tool for educators...

"Mac OS X has since become the single most popular desktop Unix-like operating system in the world, although Mac OS X is no longer an OpenStep compliant operating system." Quote from WP: Accurate?

It's like a bad dream, jilted love affair. My mind shuts down on the details of the lost love, diminishing the hate and anger, more or less. Maybe less.

I think it's nature right now with so many companies screwing consumers to try and find someone that you believe in. Apple sells stuff that if you aren't tech savy, works, is expensive, and you think you are using top quality stuff, if your a moron. My girlfriend is going through this with her...

Why? I can't help but think a lot of his stuff was smoke and mirrors. Much as Apple would cajole, persuade, daunt, buy and take credit for others work, perhaps Jobs did the same? Too many times the top guys take credit for stuff they stole from the developers...

Apple has long stifled development and inovation, at least in my memory, on their computers. It was SOP for them to either write code to stifle a developer, threaten with legal action, steal and integrate, or buy the program. Likewise hardware was equally or more so restricted. They remind me...

Can't believe that guy is worth 8.3 Billion.

Just watched half of Casablanca, remastered in Bluray. Only makes Bergman look more beautiful, if that's possible.

Guys at the local Fry's recommend the games highly. Sounds like YMMV. EA sports and I don't get on much, after Tiger Woods 2004-6.

Remember, I had the OCZ Vertex Turbo fail. It was replaced with a drive that would not hold a SATA cable. That was replaced with a drive that is in the HTPC, and, as little as it's used, is working fine.

Update: The X2 3800 plus memory controller allows the 2 gigs to be recognized. All is up and running, except, it's currently headless. Thinking cheap craigslist monitor, rather then Costco... Either that, or a 50" Panasonic 1080P Plasma...

Thanks, that was a great post. Right now, I'm having a hard time imagining anything that an i7 940 can't do. I have barely got anywhere near the potential of this processor. I can't imagine a dual Xeon setup, with 4-5 times the processor speed, and absurd ram speed, and, add revo drives...

I saw one today on Craigslist, in the bay area: 20 bucks.

Took the Westinghouse back. 50" Panasonic Plasma is probably next. It's 599, and, I can see keeping a 50" TV for 3 years. I was into that pos for 563.00. WAY to much to be reiminded you were tricked by false advertizing into buying a medium to low quality panel, with a 60 hz screen, and some...

At 1200 bucks for 16 GB of ram, you BETTER be able to overclock it;-) I can see it now: everytime I come up with another 1200 dollars, another 16 GB of ram. Sort of like the 64.5 IMSA Mustang funny car I built to be street legal... A SERIOUS MONEY PIT. At least I'd get a tax break on this one...

What are these accessories, and how do they affect performance:? http://www.gigabyte.sg/support-downloads/accessory.aspx?cg=11

I was going to say nasty things about this board, but, it's growing on me. Your first cpu would have 6 processors, a Passmark score pretty much as fast as anything on the planet, for a discounted 1600-1700 dollars. For 300 dollars one might decide the -i7 2600 with a PM score at 85% of that...

I bought dual Xeons because at the time, they, and the scsi enabled motherboard seemed like a good value. In retrospect, thanks to Adaptec's pathetic zero raid card, I ended up not even using the onboard scsi. Still, the duals were fast, and reasonably priced at the time, compared to other...

I can't see having this Westinghouse for 3-5 years. Screen is obviously second rate, and, the darn thing is expensive, for what you are getting.
