Not sure. I saw a lot of complaining about the Yoga, but that may have been the predecessor and not the Pro 2. I don't know what timwhit's priorities are, but I have no interest in a touchscreen. I'd rather have a nice matte LCD. I also have some concerns about how Windows will handle the...

Yeah, not real inspiring. The Lenovo U430P should be closer to your objectives if you can accept the extra .7" of display.

As long as you like the low resolution screen, sure.

Pretty sad that the Apple hardware looks like the bargain. I think I have a problem with buying an expensive Apple product though.

It looks like there are a variety of premium ultrabooks from Sony, Toshiba, Acer, etc as well. Unfortunately they are almost all saddled with glossy touch screens on the front and sky high pricing.

What Haswell laptops are people buying these days? I've been perusing what's available in the market, and there's some interesting machines, but none seem exceptionally compelling. I've been looking on 14" or less system that offer 1920x1080 (or better) resolution non-TN screens. Lenovo...

You hang out drinking wine in the office with your boss?

It seems like a lot of manufacturers try to pass off warm as neutral. 3000k isn't neutral.

The Zebralight looks okay. I don't have any experience with their lights. I do have a Nitecore EA8 cool white. Aside from the cold tint, my opinion is that the beam is a little too focused unless you're really trying to light up really distant objects outside. Indoors or for quasi close use...

Remember folks, don't buy crappy tint flashlights. In that vein, this (MT-G2) and this (6 x Nichia 219) should be nice additions to flashlight collections everywhere.

Because the heads ride on a cushion of gas.

Lithium primary batteries don't leak (as far as I know). Neither do Eneloops.

I'm also now looking for a DVI / USB KVM. Has anything changed or is the Aten still the model of choice?

I wouldn't expect a busy database server to be continuously writing data to the drive as fast as possible, erasing it and starting over again 24/7 either.

FWIW, I wouldn't expect that flashlight to be anywhere near comparable to the PD35. I like the KeepPower protected 18650 cells that are built around a Panasonic 3400mAh 18650 cell. There are cheaper protected 18650 cells built around the same Panasonic 3400mAh cells, but they have more losses...

I don't mean to further muddy the waters, but their test is invalid anyhow. The faster you write data to the drive the less resting time the flash cells have between program and erase cycles. This will exaggerate the wear on the flash cells more than normal use would. Doing this right would...

The test is largely pointless. Those parameters don't mean anything. There is nothing that suggests a 50 "score" on a Samsung = a "50" score on a Corsair.

The data in them sure does.

I'm sure you can pay them some money and get some indulgences.

I'm not sure. I don't have any zebralights. I have a Coast headlamp I got cheap at Costco on clearance, and a Fenix headband that I can put two 2AA lights onto/into.

One can only hope.

Maybe a Zebralight like this?

You might want to check your calendar.

Sorry for not replying to this earlier... I have a two coworkers who bought some of the cheap Chinese made zooming lights. One bought an 18650 variant. The other a single AA. They're both happy with them. I've played with them a little. Personally, I probably wouldn't buy them, but I'm...

That's covered by warranty? :scratch:

I wouldn't bet on that. Nikon has been putting excellent autofocus in their DSLRs pretty much since the beginning and Canon only just seems to have finally decided that they don't need to gimp the systems in their less than top of the line cameras in order to push people to buy the top of the...

Ditto.

C'mon now, you can't expect them to get it right on the first try can you?

Well, there could be pros and cons to that. Plus as we've previously discussed the reviews at Newegg are of very dubious value anyhow.

How so? What did they change.

Those are too safe for Chewy's family. :p

Oh cry me a river... 1) You can easily find ISA Ethernet cards on ebay. 2) Who is still using a 486 and trying to get online with it? 3) If you're really still using a 486, as timwhit points out, you can easily find a PC in the trash that would be a HUGE upgrade that has PCI (or better) slots.

Your time isn't worth anything?

Gravity 3D in a faux IMAX was pretty impressive.

Nice link mooner...

They're a well known manufacturer. That doesn't mean the flashlights are good or are any more rugged than products from other companies. Their early LED flashlights had poor heatsinking compared to other LED flashlights. I don't know if the new ones are any better as I haven't bought any.

Have you gotten this all sorted out yet?

What sort of shoddy review is that? They don't even have a STR graph?

Did you buy the one Bozo posted?

It is a 5900RPM special.

What did you get the gigapan for?

To date I haven't been using a sub with the Stealth 8's. The sub I have in the room that I will integrate in at some point is a Dual GR SW-12-08 + Rythmik A370PEQ Servo Sub DIY creation that I built a few years back.

I'm pretty sure there's a good reason for that. The Phablets look ridiculous enough already.

Who is using your phone while you're in the bathroom or asleep?

FWIW, lots of places sell them besides DX. They're on ebay, places like FastTech, etc...

The Sipik SK68 or a clone of it is a popular low cost zooming light that's widely available. link There are 3 mode and 1 mode versions of it. 3 mode clone

I don't really know about 1 and 2, but 3 is correct. They use a current limiting resistor, not a constant current drive circuit. If you're happy with the light it doesn't really matter.

Yeah, that's the theory.

I'd put your power supply in the suspect category myself.
