That is rough time, I hope someone is able to find something for you.

That's the one. Thanks!

I think he's bi- now ;) Why was I under the impression that the 1D-X could shoot 4k video?

We spend between $1k-$2k a month on food, mostly dependent on how many nice restaurants we go to in a week. This is more about saving time on the shopping and trying to learn a new skill.

Tonight's Blue Apron Dinner. Time consuming but awesome.

I suspect there is little enough fact out there that any point of view could be declared PR or usual internet freak-out. Car forums in particular seem to have a lot of people with opinions rather than data. I'm not saying they're wrong, or that my guy has been given inside info, but only that...

Just got a more extensive e-mail from my tuning guy, Mike Sweeney @ Pacific Throttle House. Before doing this he was a racing driver for APR, and has some neat videos on YouTube. His take is that this is just part of a buyout that's been going on for years, and the Internet (and VWVortex in...

Just confirmed that the K04 has already shipped and should arrive Thurs. Hopefully at that point the APR intranet is still running well enough to authorize the flash (yes, every flash is sent directly from their intranet via VPN to the dealer every time).

Thanks for the heads-up Stereodude. I haven't yet paid for the K04, it is supposed to arrive this week. My installer has been strangely silent the last few days....time to stop by and say hi I think...

I'll have one of those later this week. Just took delivery of 7x 50-port Cisco managed switches and have a Barracuda traffic shaper coming in Wednesday. That will be a long night.

I considered this more your style.

Sounds good Lunar, I'm amazed how much healthier I feel when I'm in better physical shape. It makes me wonder how I let myself slip so far so often (like right now).

I was hoping to get that dual-Xeon system running, but it currently won't post and I haven't had the time to troubleshoot it.

100F here, way hotter than usual.

Indeed. Back when I was contracting there was a silver lining to those. Now that I am salary/management those days just suck.

5:50AM. Going to bed. That was a long day of work (23 hours).

Yup. That is also the case with the MkVII GTI (possibly a next car).

I'm running it, though it hasn't fixed my issues completely. I suspect some of them were the sound card, some were the receiver, and some the wireless headphones. Haven't spent enough time to identify which this helps.

On newer cars where port flashing from factory is an option I can see the DIY thing working, but mine required significantly more than that. 1. Disconnect Battery 2. Remove some under-hood trim pieces to expose the CPU 3. Use a dremel to remove security screws (Yes, sparks under the hood) 4...

Coug? Daisies, puppies, and pink.

For me, it was a number of years ago when I decided that I needed to get stuck in on the technical side and specialize or head towards management. Neither particularly appealed to me, but the money is better on the management side, and specialization limits the number of fields you can get into.

Congratulations. I can't imagine trying one of those at this point. I haven't even been MCSE since 2003.

AWD FTW. Have you done any of the APR goodies yet? I'm still shocked at how easy and how fast it was. We'll see what the K04 can do.

The only practical uses for 512GB cards I can imagine are 4k video and medium format. Having that many 20MP images on a card would be way too risky IMHO.

I was actually thinking of the automated deployment mode that can suck in drives of variable size and use all of the capacity of each effectively. ZFS?

I got that later drives with the same model number would have a slight increase in capacity over earlier models. I can only imagine implementations so huge that this would be a good thing.

Just ordered my first 6TB drives (4 of them for a 1U Synology box) and now this....can't keep up.

Reason 4,435,123,564 to just have a real computer next to each TV. All these STBs and other gizmos impose so many limitations.

Unless you've used/had the word Hasbro in many of your e-mails/texts in the past and use a learning keyboard (Swype or similar).

Yup, 5DIII would be on my short list were I spending money on camera stuff at the moment. The K04 along with all the support bits will be nearly $4k installed. That will be my toys for this month I think.

That is significant. I haven't seen one that bad in a while. You haven't even gotten to the actual viruses yet...

Too little too late for disks, I think. Netflix should have 4k running a year earlier than that I'd imagine.

Then you just need to be good. ;)

I'm pretty sure they all do? I just changed the resolution of my Dell 30" from 2560x1600 (native) to 2048x1536 and the black bars automatically appeared on the sides. Further, I just used the nVidia control panel to create a custom resolution of 1600x1600 and it displayed perfectly, no...

Nice analysis Merc. I've been completely ignoring the Surfaces up to now. Time to do some research.

And replace all my glass? Not likely. Do you not expect Canon to come out with something competitive soon? What have you done with all your old Canon gear?

Traction and Stability control has basically made this a non-issue. Once you are at the apex of a corner, just floor it and let the computers sort out the rest. Particularly awesome with AWD.

That res @ 35"-40" would be very interesting. @ 27" it is just a tech demo.

16:10 is the best you can do without paying through the nose. I've done the portrait mode before (3 wide), but the image looks suboptimal. A single DP can handle 4k @ 60Hz, I have no idea about 5k.

I work have the loudest switches I could get. It feels to me that the louder switches have more of a snap to them (it might just be the sound). At home I have the quiet one, which is still a bit louder than the generic dual-language keyboard my wife uses.

Yeah, don't have a 24-70. Don't have lighting beyond a few Speedlites. I'm happy to not have to do this kind of thing often (actually bought the backdrop and frame last night as a plan B). The shoot was at their office. It was a very overcast morning, so I decided to do them outside with just a...

Would you choose the 24/1.4 or the 50/1.4 on a 7D for business portraits against a backdrop? I've been really enjoying the 24, but have a feeling that the flatter look of the 50 might seem more...professional?

Yup, after a short period without audio, the next sound is lost before I hear anything. 8.1 x64

I'd be interested. I use SPDIF at home to the receiver and headphones. The headphones have an auto-off function to save batteries, I suppose this would defeat that as well?

Way cool. Thanks for sharing Clocker.

Congrats! Still doing upper structural bits? Or do I remember that wrong?

http://youtu.be/PSGECxs0EII Pretty much as pessimistic as I could make it. No roll out, full tank, poor surface, etc. Feels pretty quick. (Private runway, take precautions, stay legal, etc)

Yup. Double sink, but every point on the surface has some slope towards the drain. No standing water. Made from polished concrete. The circle on the wall next to it is a recess where the soap dispenser is. The larger ring near the floor is a pop-out trash can. Faucet is motion sensing and comes...

Does anyone here bother with user permissions or policies to try to save the user from themselves? I don't know enough about that stuff to try, just curious.

Playing with one of my birthday presents; 300 jumbo blocks.
