Indeed. The Chrysler hack used the cellular network (I forget which one) that is built into the car, so you don't need to be anywhere near the car to hack it. WiFi hacks would probably be easier.

A friend turned me onto World of Warships. It is pretty and fun for now, pretty sure it won't last (like Mechwarrior Online).

Not at all ;) I just don't think I've used less than a 450W PSU since the Athlon days.

I can completely see your point time, and we'll see how that GTX 970 Mini works as it is arriving Monday. Worst case we'll machine out the side of the case (I know of a metalshop near him). I built the system ages ago, but I can't imagine I put in less than a 450W PSU.

Met someone yesterday who is renting a fiber run from a carrier hotel in San Jose and bringing it to an office building 0.7 miles from my house with clear line of sight. I've already committed to 100/100 worth of his Gig. The speed is fine, but the latency of my workstation being 6 hardware...

Coug, Lunar just commented on your writing skills. Therefore it must be sarcastic, otherwise he would have responded in French.

Moved. Thanks guys. I'll look at the cards you linked when I wake up.

A long time ago I built a gaming rig for a friend who has since moved away. It is a toaster-sized rig, but I have no idea the spec other than that it is running an ATI 4770. He now needs a new GPU, but I need to send it to him sight-unseen. What I'm looking for is a 100% compatible upgrade to...

Yup, most of my customers are the same. Best kind, IMHO.

The best storage density is probably these 512GB SD cards anyway. And at 90MB/s they shouldn't slow your workflow. Of course, a Pelican SD card case full of them (6TB worth) would run $10k.

I don't think a decade is too much to expect from an interior these days. The glass has UV filters and and the cabins are pretty well insulated (less extreme temps).

Did sed input a Skype username in his profile? Assuming that is by design, though it looks a bit clunky.

Likely much longer than that. I can still buy Win7.

The worst-case has pretty much already happened. A Model S ran over some metal in the road that managed to penetrate the Kevlar and slash several cells of the battery pack open. The driver immediately got a notification to stop the car and get out. A couple minutes later the car burned to the...

Not for Lunar, but a few others here may feel the need. The need for ludicrous speed. http://www.theverge.com/2015/7/17/8994519/tesla-ludicrous-speed-model-s

The only reason that should matter is if you are mixing DSLR video with content from cine cameras.

24 is the bottom end for fooling the brain, 60-100 is the top end for getting information into your brain.

I think that depends on age...

Good point, Howell. I'd forgotten about the smog stuff. If you're buying outside CA make sure it is CA emissions compliant. I can't imagine too many new cars aren't.

From their position I completely understand the decision. You only want to support one version. Also, how much of their reputation for getting viruses and malware is from people who haven't installed updates?

Assuming you mean when it comes to warranty? So long as the car is serviced at a dealership during the warranty period no one will raise an eyebrow. You can even service the car yourself without voiding the warranty so long as all service items are performed, provided you can show that the...

Indeed. Not saying it isn't a good thing, just wondering how much of the internet will break in response.

I've recently gotten hooked on live studio performances on YouTube. Something about watching it happen while a band/artist takes on the challenge of nailing a song in one go is really attractive to me. https://youtu.be/DV0TJZ7Kp40 The Radio 1 covers are particularly awesome...

The predictions I've read are that the Note series will keep the removable battery and SD card. Personally I'm planning on going to the LG G4, which has both. Merc seems to like it.

Isn't Samsung mostly owned by the S. Korean Govt? They have some money...

I'm suspecting that the TV isn't decoding correctly, probably something to do with framerate. If you disconnect the speakers does the TV audio sound right? If you connect the speakers directly to the BR player does it work correctly?

I have many uses for an 11k screen. All of them involve that screen being larger than 5.5"

I'm with Lunar on this one, most likely a ground pin. Should be fine. Back in the day you'd just put a bit of paperclip in the socket and hope it conducts through, but I suspect tolerances are a bit higher now.

I'm suggesting giving up the battle for that phrase completely. What else do they sell? We gave up the pursuit of results with the word "flowers" quite a while ago.

Wow. You're thinking this was part of the stock install?

Find the related words (or niche products) that cost less on AdWords. You should be able to be first page in something more specific once the location is included. For my clients without much effort at all I've managed to get top billing (worst case top 3). Hollister Pots Salinas Plants...

Good enough. I remodeled a bar recently, 3x 65" and 1x 42" TVs, each with their own DirecTV Ultimate package. Unfortunately, due to the arrangement of the space, it is impossible to to watch any of them while sitting at the bar without turning around. The seating area however has great coverage.

There is a system image on a bootable USB. My warrantied support consists of resetting the BIOS (to kill OC'ing) and restoring the image. If that works support will cost.

I moved the 10GbE links into production a few weeks ago. Likely storage subsystem limited to 300-400MB/s in the real world. I'll take it.

Just installed. Looks good. I like the auto-discovery.

Congrats Joe!

The only time in my life when I got sick more often than now (sleep deprived with a 2 year-old) was when I was riding public transportation daily. Constantly being on the lookout for feces was another issue.

I'm used to getting 3-5% success. This time it was closer to 1%. I'm thinking it was the unusual environment (never shot in that kind of terrain/light).

And I should have added a while ago in this thread that I did get my wife a Moto360 in time for Christmas 2014 that she's been wearing every day since and likes it.

Waze also allows users to report and view locations of police. I find this feature immensely useful.

Waze is the best at traffic at the moment IMHO. Start by giving it your destination and then have a look at the ETA of the various routes for any surprises. If something seems out of place, just pinch-zoom and drag along your route until you find it. We did this for the trip to Tahoe and back...

Indeed. I'm getting a bit better at having a feel for the right ISO/Exposure/F-stop before looking at the camera. Mostly I'm leaving the lens as open as possible and deciding between 100, 200, and 400 ISO. After that is framing. Mainly the images that don't come out are due to camera shake or...

That bird was at the top of a 75' tree that was 400'+ away. As Lunar said, it is just too far. As I'm sure everyone here knows, when you get back from a trip and realize most of the pictures are worse than you expected, your standards drop a bit.

IIRC, it has something like 12 cows worth of leather in there. And I didn't check, but only a fool wouldn't option in the teak yacht flooring.

At the gas station this morning chatting with the guy next to me who was letting his kid drive his Drophead Coupe for the first time. Kid came out of the convenience store munching a bag of Cheetos. Dad had to excuse himself and have some words.

Attachments attempt #2 And that skier photo was one of a series...

Another shout-out for Hyundai. They are famous for having one or two packages for a car and no optional anything. The result seems to be that you get the all bells-and-whistles version for much cheaper.

Before the 100-400II I had a 170-500 Sigma that was complete crap. I'd get better shots using my 180 Macro and cropping. 300mm is not particularly bad for birding, as Lunar said there is no substitute for getting closer.

1. Tight crop is intentional, as I wanted to pull out as much of the texture as possible. Here is the wide shot. I was told that this outhouse adds extra value because it is a "two-holer". 2. That is my friend's dog, and the water was about 63F in the shallow bits and much cooler as you went...
