Just a company check, no big deal except for the amount. For that kind of total we could have easily wired the money, hell my AMEX could have taken it (but they'd be nuts to accept the 6% charge).

It would be interesting if someone wrote a sudo-WSUS server service you could install on your computer with a bit of a proxy. While you're at it redirect the rest of their shady crap.

Just freaked out the FedEx guy. Came in with a tiny (CD) envelope for me that was COD for $103,672.49 Not sure why our new accounting company wanted us to pay for the software that way, but whatever.

Brilliant. Thanks for that. The Acer B326HKs at work switched perfectly. I'll try the Dell at home tonight.

I'm mainly frustrated that I can't get any of my current 4k monitors to do more than 30hz. Haven't worked that hard at it, but I thought DP from the Titan X supported 60.

h.264, 5.2 profile, 30MB ABR with 60MB Max, 2-pass, 3840x2160@60 Mainly just verifying the workflow before we go on vacation next week.

Not sure why it isn't giving a 4k option on playback, the source certainly is. https://youtu.be/nouBCEmW67E

High profile was indeed the highest setting in Adobe Media Encoder. Many people have posted this issue and I haven't found a thread with a resolution. The workaround is to set up the work space as 60FPS and your source images as 3840x2160 and just leave the setting "match source" checked. Of...

And on top of that, Premiere won't let me set H.264 to 3840x2160@60, saying the profile is too low, even after I up the bitrate. The Googles do nothing. Blah.

Sometimes I prefer not to buy another camera ;) Making good progress, just trying to find a way to take more than one picture a second. The TC-80N3 won't do it, but triggertrap will. Also need to get a better selection of ND filters, much better results can be had when the exposure time is as...

RD650, ESXi

With the DSLR I'm in full manual and using either the Canon TC-80N3 or a cable/app called triggertrap that can trigger on all kinds of neat things. Either way, no sunrise/sunset ramping there (yet). I've installed CHDK on a S110 and S95 and there are scripts there that claim to be able to do...

Just ordered a new VM Server, due in a week, it will need a couple weeks of testing before it goes live I think. 2 X INTEL XEON 14 CORE PROCESSOR E5-2697V3 2.6GHZ 35MB SMART CACHE 9.6GT/S QPI TDP 145W 16 X 16GB DDR4-2133 MHZ 2RX4 RDIMM MEMORY (SUPPORTS UP TO 768GB OF MEMORY TOTAL, 24 DIMM...

Just started playing with this. We can talk about the various methods to get a camera to take a picture every x often for y time if anyone is interested, but I want to start with the workflow. My goal is to move as quickly as possible from a pile of a few thousand RAW images into a 4k@60fps...

Quite true. Because of all the grading and water (dust control), the surface is remarkably flat. Go when no-one else is there and you have a dry thin layer of dust and small gravel on top of a hard-packed surprisingly smooth surface. Quite low-traction, but not exceptionally rough.

Good to hear about the rolling resistance, what about the weight? Noticeably different?

Reminds me of this: http://craphound.com/spamsolutions.txt

I suspect he meant on a broader scale. Society and most of the country are designed in such a way that existing without a car is a significant disability (insert JTR here, I said "most" ;)). Further, safety and luxury items make cars make weigh several tons which means they need lots of power to...

Nope. I just spend a lot of my life in a car and insist on making that time as fun as possible. The company I work for owns several industrial sites, one of which is an open-pit mine. Not sure what MSHA says about the car traveling in a direction it isn't pointing.

The worst is actually the high-speed off-road stuff; drifting across a quarry is a bit of a rough ride.

I identified a small trim piece that was easy and cheap to remove/replace, ordered a spare, and drilled a single hole in one of them. Anytime I like I can just swap it with the unmodified one. In my car this was the bezel around the stereo. Sticky tape and suction cups just don't work for my...

Are you talking about the search box near the start button? All three of those worked for me. In fact, I only had to go as far as "winw", "ie", and "cm" before the right one was brought up immediately.

I started as well, so long as the overcast holds.

At least they are keeping the HS mounting point the same, the vendors are just calling it 115x.

I bolted a RokForm V3 bike mount into the dash. Works perfectly.

This is more than just a tablet, when connected to a computer, it will operate as a second screen with a super high-res digitizer interface. Just that is a $1k product.

I absolutely agree that the average person, and the majority of people, would benefit from a high school and college diploma of the highest possible rank from the most prestigious possible school. However, there are people where this is not the case. The hazard lies in believing you understand...

Has anyone else played with these? Powerful (i7 @ 3.1Ghz, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD), small (3.75lbs), high-res (2560x1440), shiny. Thoughts?

While I agree that the plural of anecdote isn't data, there are quite a few data points to contend with. While I will make sure that my child completes some amount of education beyond high school, it hasn't helped me at any point.

You can also share your intentions with the counselors at your HS; they were willing to work with me and I was able to get out much earlier (Calc, Chem, and Physics simultaneously Jr. year, never attended Sr year, but no requirements were missed so I graduated anyway).

Interesting point, Chewy. As an extension to that, will VLs go to the subscription model? Will the minimum purchase decrease sufficiently?

I'd imagine WSUS will become much more popular.

Nice time to live around here. If those drivers were equally serious, a GT3RS can take a Huracan quite easily.

Interesting. Anyone know how OSX, Android, and iOS compare to similar scrutiny?

I'm actually freezing up AC units on the roof it's so hot. I'll start it now, but who knows for how long.

Yeah, I don't know anyone that puts their phone in a back pocket more than once. The curved back is supposed to fit in the pocket and the hand better than otherwise. Of course, the downside is that it won't sit flat on a table while you use the interface.

I thought the curved back would make it fit better in the front pants pocket?

It provides what I believe is the minimum level of protection worth having. Before this I went without a case and replaced the glass quarterly-ish. I also take advantage of the mount integrated into the back of the case in the car and on the bike. Cosmetics don't bother me, but I want to reduce...

For my S5 I've bought into the Rokform system. But they don't have one for the G4.

It is a very sexy phone, but I'd worry about the ecosystem. Replacement glass? Cases? Car mounts?

I'm going G4 and price is no object, so yep.

The local public elementary started last Monday, my daughter's first day of school is next Monday.

Wow, so you're spending most of the time at ISO800+ and as wide-open as the setup allows?

No tripod? Monopod? Do you handhold @ 600mm?

Hasn't happened yet, though a few have threatened to.

I don't need sport-tuned, but I would like my inputs to be more than requests forwarded to the engine room via telegraph.

So you're suggesting never going to 10?

I rented a Town Car once, the big domestic cars are just a nightmare to drive.

While this is nice and all, it's not like they weren't doing all kinds of crazy things before they restructured. I suspect that this is just making room for other products to become wildly successful, or to protect one brand from another's failings. I don't want my Google car to crash as much as...

Another option for financing would be Lending Club. My only experience is on the investment end, but it seems pretty straightforward.
