VEry sad news for those stuck with the Edge line only. Better news, the x120e is available on the Lenovo site: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/products/professional-grade/thinkpad/x-series/x120e/index.html Still waiting for Amazon etc to get them in.

Looks like the latest updates to the Mac Pro laptops include AMD rather than nvidia discrete graphics.

http://semiaccurate.com/2011/02/17/intels-first-sata-6gb-ssds-coming-march/ 34nm, 120GB and 250GB. Up to 470MB/s Read; 315MB/s Write Sounds about C400 speeds?

The new one makes more noise from its power brick fan than the actual 360 itself. Shame it took them 5 years to fix it. Old problems like scratching of DVDs remain however.

No probs. Once you've mastered the Izzy, Free Pistol is the next step. If you scaled the air pistol target out it would be like the Free target at 40m. 50m and .22LR means indoor practice is limited to dry firing, good news is another Russian gun contends in the world class stage, the Toz 35.

PS3+PlayOn on the HTPC?

I don't know of any consumer electronics device that's louder than a 360. Its ridiculous.

5th out of 5. 1. Battery died within 3 live shots. 2. One other shooter with a 162E1 didn't have a spare battery. 3. Borrowed club Walther CPM-1 (CO2). 4. Cylinders were room temp so didn't take a full CO2 charge. 5. End result being one low shot followed by one that didn't get there at all...

If within your budget the Baikal IZH46M is a better option, has a 2 stage adjustable trigger and dry fire capability, Pilks may have one used, otherwise: http://www.pyramydair.com/p/izh-46M-match-air-pistol.shtml

Yeah, it'll be tough to explain something that says "Made in Switzerland" as a $300 toy. At that price range: Avanti 747: SSP target air pistol, right hand (switch to left if needed) $190 10m Air Pistol Targets -Eledmann #2000 (250 or 1000 qty) $22-$88 Gehmann Pellet Trap for Pistol $45 A can...

Yeah, to avoid spam problems most ISPs don't have open relays.

Tether the phone to PC via USB (may need an app). Turn on Internet connection sharing. Plug this PC into the WAN port of the 54G. ICS should provide the IPs as required for other devices that are connected to the 54G. Edit: not too good for failover (given ICS can only be selected on one...

Certainly from a fundamentals perspective there is nothing better than AP to develop your sight alignment, trigger control and follow through. All focus on the front sight, the target should be a blur in the background (area aim below the black). One handed shooting position gives more of a...

Also you will need a SCUBA tank with DIN fitting (or K to DIN adaptor), or a hand pump (Axsor etc). The hand pump gets to be quite a workout as you approach 200 Bar.

http://www.pilkguns.com/ Good vendor, I can recommend them. About $1675. If you've never shot competitive air pistol I would prob try it before investing. That said, it will take you all the way to the Olympics if you are good enough.

It supplies power to the electronic trigger on my air pistol. http://Morini.ch I believe they revised the design to use more commonly available batteries a couple years ago. Space is definitely constrained. Normally I have 2 spares in the bag but it's been a while. Called RadioShack, web...

Trying to find a brick and mortar retailer with stock of an Eveready 504 battery or equivalent the night before a competition = :(

http://www.seashepherd.org/news-and-media/news-110217-1.html Good news, the Japanese are retreating.

Yes, NY is the same. Incredibly high benefits to the state employees and retirees means taxes will only get higher.

For movies I like as wide as possible yet without having to pan my head. Waiting on more 3D capable projectors. Resolution of the source material is also key, normal NTSC SD looks pretty bad on a large screen.

Biggest problem I have with the Elantras, if the engine is running, it's not possible to lock the doors from the outside (i.e. with a second remote fob). No remote start. So to pre-warm means taking a certain risk. Prob the same with most modern cars to avoid being locked out I guess.

http://www.examiner.com.au/news/local/news/general/tullys-our-hero/2078994.aspx A good news Staffy story for once.

Ordered some movies from Amazon UK (direct), took around 3 weeks, (Royal) Air Mail. I guess the winter weather really put the brakes on shipping. I was sure it had been pinched on the way.

Remember they are in torch mode on the sales floor. If 3D matters to you the xx30 series has faster response phosphors and a different drive sequence for less 3D crosstalk, in addition to less external reflection.

Still within the return date? It's not really a phone (unless paired with Skype and 3G always on network connection). The ipad 2 is apparently already in production. The new hardware they are talking about is probably the Motorola Xoom (which may be as much as $800). The Galaxy Tab is a dip of...

I believe they call that "snowboarding" ;)

I thought it was to do with all those "assault with pillowcase full of Micropolis hard drives" charges. ;)

I believe a pre-existing lease supersedes any sale of the building itself. Should be a simple matter for the judge to decide.

No 3 day notice period to vacate Merc? If it helps my oven caught on fire today (5 mins after turning on to pre heat) and I had to use the dry chemical fire extinguisher on the bastard after the flames continued once I turned it off. Windows open to vent with -6 windchill outside. Time for a...

x120e review: http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/07/lenovo-thinkpad-x120e-review/

http://www.thecourier.com.au/multimedia/20217/ballarat-region-floods.aspx Hope Tony is up high out of the water.

What model tv? You mentioned 720p in another post. Ideally 1080p/i from BD or PC to 1080p panel, 24p playback enabled via HDMI for the movies.

http://www.buy.com/prod/yamaha-new-shaped-subwoofers-with-advanced-yst-ii-and-down-firing/q/loc/101/206460118.html $165. Ultimate would be mounting the bed on D-box actuators.

The benefits of the Swedish education system, they can post online before they can walk.

Running a GTX 580 (240W?) on a 380W PSU is definitely cutting it close.

The PS3 has an internal slot load drive. I don't know of any consumer BD player that has a tray load that can handle a vertical orientation. Samsung does make a wall mountable unit.

http://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/story/2011/02/02/potential-power-catastrophe-looms-yasi-queensland/ Heavy damage might potentually mean weeks without power.

Looks like it's slowed down, good news for lesser surge due to coming in after high tide (all low lying areas having been evacuated), bad news for massive winds for perhaps 2 hours. http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2011/s3128223.htm These guys will have a hell of a battle.

Go with the Panasonic between those two. You will find many BD players also do a decent job upconverting DVDs. If worried when watching 4:3 content, often the cable box let's you switch the black sidebars to gray, to avoid burn in.

Your eminence *bows* :D

Apparently a while back after a nasty cyclone the government gave financial incentives for bunker construction (obviously only worthwhile if located above storm surge/flood levels).

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/02/02/3127394.htm Whipped thru cat 4 to low cat 5. At 280kph I'd be thinking concrete bunker.

http://www.smh.com.au/business/sugar-crop-tourism-at-risk-from-cyclone-yasi-20110201-1abls.html A cyclone for Northern Queenland, looks like it will go inland a fair way.

Pay more, get less. Aren't we still waiting for an Intel chipset that delivers the full capabilities with Sandy Bridge CPUs?

T-mobile Galaxy S with HSPA+ support coming Feb 23rd http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/25/t-mobile-releases-streak-7-and-galaxy-s-4g-in-february-g-slate/

Tmobile "4G" is actually HSPA+ http://consumerist.com/2010/11/how-fast-is-t-mobiles-4g-data-network.html

An incredibly hot sales chick talked you into a 65" plasma?

All those products have "Diamond Multimedia" in the image icons? Tho that would explain the figurines. Generally when I think Diamond I think mediocre video cards with frigging horrible driver support.

Sadly, yes it does: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&Manufactory=1569&N=50001569&IsNodeId=1&SpeTabStoreType=0
