From what I've seen you are the second. Don't worry about it. Most here have wished me a happy birthday at least 8 times, some as many as 16 ;)

The desktop at work has more pixels; 2560x1600 and 2560x1440 next to each other. The 4k at home is a Dell 32". I've disabled scaling for all the programs I use, but having it for the desktop just makes clicking on the right icon easier.

Back when I was running the computer gaming center I found a device that sat between the hard drive and motherboard that effectively cached all writes to the drive during an entire session. By default all these writes were discarded on reboot. In order to make permanent changes to the drive...

I'm fortunate that need doesn't need to be considered. But I do max all my systems fairly regularly.

Not yet. This still has to be my daily driver. At some point the modifications will begin to make the vehicle less practical, but I can't afford for that to happen yet. Improvements so far: CI100020 - Carbino Intake - MK5/MK6 CI100020-A - TSI Breather Filter Kit CI100020-C - Carbino Intake...

Didn't do a pre-tune pull. I got to know the guy during the work, so to start it was just business. He wouldn't give me the chart without charging me for the run (understandable), but it was very fat indeed. ;) I asked how much power the engine could take before internals needed to be looked...

Learning fast. It took me til I was 25 to get there.

Very messy home desktop attached. I was going to clean it (should be basically empty), but couldn't be bothered.

Thanks!

Established an awesome relationship with Mike @ Pacific Throttle House. Managed to get the APR Stage 2+ going and dyno'd. 280WHP and 308lbft of torque. Before I even left I placed an order for a K04 turbo, which should put it around 315WHP. The thing is already disconcertingly fast. I'll post...

Used Combofix 2 days ago. Did successfully remove several viruses. Also left enough damaged system files that the machine require a reinstall anyway. I'm not saying that that always happens, or that Combofix caused the damage, just pointing out that it is capable of "cancer removed from corpse"...

Nice review, very interesting monitor. I don't think I'm regretting my Dell 32" purchase, but that would have made me think pretty hard. Running it as two "screens" in a bezel-less config would make awesome sense for office work, but as he mentioned, for that price you can do lots of awesome...

These 128GB 1066x cards are great; 200MB/s+ copy from a SanDisk USB3 reader to a 1TB 840 EVO.

This is correct. I had no idea where the tech was inside batteries. Good to hear that they have so much room for progress. I wonder what a "price no object" AA would look like?

Every time I am about to buy a monitor I check the options and come to the same conclusion as Merc, Dell is the no-brainer optimum choice 90% of the time. Stick with their P or U lines and get the size you can afford. I've been happy with their various Ultrasharp (32, 30, 27, 24) and the Pro 24.

Purely speculation on my part, but if the separator was thin enough, quantum tunneling would be an issue.

Agreeing with P5 on this one. Loma-Prieta happened after a bunch of quake-related codes, and cleared out most of the bad eggs around here.

It is basically uneventful, except for the massive amount of wine that was apparently destroyed.

Have others heard the rumors of the new ZR1 being mid-engined?

I like the RS7, or even an S7, but my wife thinks the back of them looks ugly. Not as ugly as the Panamera, but she has ruled them both out. The Model S is just good enough in this regard to be a viable target. For a budget of anything less than $200k, I suspect I'd be doing things to a P85+...

That is the part I'm struggling with. What party trick or other excitement could be understood once you grasp this concept?

Honestly it is the only Ferrari in history that I would ever consider owning. The combination of practicality and performance likely puts it in a class of one.

Don't feel any pressure from me; the intention was to make things better. This is certainly better than that. However it goes is fine with me.

Awesome.

My mother is a 3rd grade teacher. I used to go in as a guest and teach one lesson a year, about an hour max. In the past I've done model rockets (not allowed to anymore - no incident, just paranoia) or other neat chemistry demos.

I'm planning in my head a lesson on scale, using scientific notation, to 3rd graders. I'm thinking of using inches. Starting with 1 inch, picking an example item, and then going up and down from there as far as their imagination can go before jumping to planck length (6.3629892 × 10-34 inches)...

Sorry, just realized that that video was on their premium channel. Here is the free version, and the details not mentioned are as follows: Ferrari FF new is £300k, he bought used for £180k (£1500/mo) and gave himself 6 months to enjoy before selling.

I'd like to think that, were I single, I would do exactly this.

Thanks Doug, that version was clearly sub-optimal. More than anything it had me wondering what the vBulletin people were thinking.

My point was that before they didn't have tab close buttons on each tab and now they do. At least the default interface is getting better. Rarely do I spend any time customizing the interface, I typically just use what they give me.

I haven't had a significant power outage here in years, but Comcast has always held up for me. Some of my locations do have sketchy power, but those have a wireless ISP and has never gone down for power issues.

I use it, but I haven't noticed the auto-start behavior you mention (Verizon Galaxy S5)

I'm still at 75/15 for $150/mo :(

Interesting. Once upon a time, Firefox displayed the tab close function differently, and I went through quite a bit of effort to make it so that each tab had its own x. But I will admit that taking away the option is annoying.

Launch control is way harder than flooring it. It actually lets the revs build before letting the clutch slip considerably to barely maintain traction. Flooring it is something I do a dozen times a day every day in every car I've owned, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

It might be easier for you to go with a wireless switch solution like Insteon before opening up that wall. Not sure if they have a version to deal with your super-deadly-double-voltage you have down there, maybe to fend off all the spiders and snakes?

Looking for suggestions. Bought a Pyle system that is living up to its name. Base unit is on one room, antennas need to be relocated to another (10-foot extension on the antennas is enough). Ideally two mics, ideally less than $500, ideally doesn't require phantom power or a pre-amp. Thanks!

The Cree has a very poor light distribution if the top of the bulb is visible. I have some in a bathroom vanity light (bulbs completely exposed, pointed straight out of the wall) and it doesn't look great.

Do you plan on using an external device to calibrate? Or just use the adjustments on the set itself?

Hope so. Ordered 2 anyway. Thanks for the tip!

We also all order from Amazon, so no other store needs to have them in stock.

fun?

My bandwidth is already going elsewhere.

Giant trampolines in a giant cave. Looks like tons of fun. http://youtu.be/hqF1dr5dNgE

That is just like having to pay a bunch in taxes. Awesome! (A good problem to have) (I'm pushing 34" - feeling a bit envious.)

So long as I don't run them "excessively" or during the day. One of the advantages of having so many sprinklers is that you can adjust them very accurately. I've also invested in a fairly high-end electronic controller; not only does it have a rain sensor but it also scales the total run time...

No idea. Speed isn't really an issue for me. I just have a bank of USB BluRay readers (same number of readers as simultaneous disks in my NetFlix Sub, coincidentally). So timing isn't really an issue. Takes longer to name them and pack them.

Home. The wind can be pretty high, and water is fairly scarce, so I've gone with lower throw sprinkler heads to keep the water close to the ground.

Sprinklers installed, tested, and documented.

I just use MakeMKV and store the whole thing without additional compression.
