    LED flashlights

    The head unscrews from the body (main tube). The light has a mechanical lockout if you loosen it slightly to open the circuit.

    LED flashlights

    All but one of those you could have determined before buying one. Mine has a symmetric beam. It's a thrower with a smooth reflector. Of course the beam will be a little ugly when combined with that Cree LED. If you loosen the head by a 1/4 turn you can disable accidental power on.

    Oh, there's plenty of weird regardless of remakes or not.

    Best movie you've seen

    Because Hollyweird has officially run out of new ideas. Plus remakes and sequels are generally considered lower risk.

    Well of course he shouldn't do it. I'm just trying to figure out what they're promising to do in exchange for the $3k. There has to be some carrot they're dangling.

    I got to fix my Epson Perfection 3170 Photo flatbed scanner this morning after it unexpected died. A piece of plastic that holds the spring loaded sliding tensioner (for the drive belt) captive on one side fatigued and broke off leaving the belt with no tension. I drilled a hole in the plastic...

    10 gig Ethernet

    I got the two CSS326's today and installed them in my rack after work. My short Twinax DAC cable won't be here for a few more days so I used a 3m one I had from before to connect the two switches. My server is connected via 10g SFP+ only. Everything seems to be working and is happy.

    I was surprised that your link actually worked... I suspect that a Long-DIMM just means it's desktop memory, not a laptop SO-DIMM, but I'm not 100% sure. http://www.ism-tek.com/DDR4-ECC-DIMM.html

    10 gig Ethernet

    The CSS326-24G-2S+RM are fanless, so they should be silent. There aren't product pages yet for the two new Mikrotik's I mentioned. They were announced in their Newsletter #82, but no prices yet. I'm looking to replace my HP Procurve PoE 10/100 switch also with something fanless. The Linksys...

    10 gig Ethernet

    So I ordered up two Mikrotik 24 port 1gig switches (CSS326-24G-2S+RM) yesterday for $105 each (shipped). That will give me 48 1GbE (Base-T) ports. I have more drops in my house than I have ports on my current 24 port 1GbE (Base-T) HP Procurve. That leaves me with some smaller gigabit switches...

    Do you have air conditioning that north? I've been using my A/C a lot the past few weeks because it's been so warm during the day and not cool enough at night to cool off the house. Tonight should be cooler (finally).

    I'm sure it just uses linear regulation using the battery as the heatsink for the extra power to be dissipated in.

    Unsurprisingly your link doesn't work. I don't see the appeal of those batteries myself. I have chargers that I trust way more than a super cheap circuit slapped on a battery.

    None of them have much separation due to how close together the drivers are. IMHO, the XB40 sounds similar to the XB3. It can play a little louder though.
