While the Russian police are (as always) hilarious, I need to put in a shout out to Pentatonix: http://youtu.be/3MteSlpxCpo

Funny how they really didn't have a choice if they wanted to go for "fastest car". VAG controls the best track for such things and wouldn't let Hennessey in (best described when Top Gear did the Veyron SS). The only alternative was to build a car that could get up to those speeds and back very...

Solved. No idea how, too tired to care. I'll do a full survey during documentation tomorrow.

80% of the way there. Still having issues with the routing . I can ping the far gateway successfully from either end, but hitting some of the devices on the other end not so much.

Anyone here familiar with setting up VPN links on Netgear routers? Specifically between these two: NETGEAR ProSafe Gigabit Quad WAN SSL VPN Firewall SRX5308 NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Firewall FVS336GV2 I'll give you remote access and happily pay at this point, so sick of this.

Sorry guys, I thought I had posted a response from my phone earlier. All is well; he ended up doing something beyond clearing the codes (re-initialization?) a couple times, along with a full reboot (disconnecting battery) and all the codes went away. It seems I dodged a serious bullet. And the...

My new W540 finally shipped. I've never had an order delayed so long. Sold my T-series nearly a month ago. The X-series is sub optimal for long stretches of actual work.

Just use the remote to switch projection modes depending on what is going on. The best we've found so far was the Dazian Translite white.

Yup. Long room, projector on one end, screen in the middle. Same side as the projector is a bed, opposite side is a rockband setup. Basically he wants the image to look decent from both sides.

My brother-in-law is planning a long attic room with a projector on one end and the screen in the middle. He'd like the screen to work for both front and rear modes. Any recommendations for a material that will look good from both sides?

I would hope so, but I fear Stereodude is right. I haven't tried resetting the codes yet; I want them sitting there for my mechanic to look at, but none of the fuses blew (frustrating). That makes me think that electronics have gone. Step one was putting 70k miles on it and reducing it to a...

Almost got away with it. Got in, did the wiring I wanted, modified the trim as necessary, and started re-assembly. Once I had the dash put back together (radio, climate, etc) I hooked the battery back up to confirm functionality. Everything worked the first time to my surprise. As I was climbing...

If you are going to span you may as well stripe ;)

A number of specific programs that I need to deal with output CSV or other "hardly formatted" data formats with the extension .txt, so being able to open them in Calc would matter. But renaming to CSV wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

To date I've had one SSD fail that wasn't due to some external factor (blown PSU, crazy thermal conditions, etc). This is way better than the HDD failure rate I used to deal with.

Skinning isn't my thing. I work on enough different systems that I really need to be familiar with the default look and feel. The one exception is Classic Shell on Win8. If I sit down and see metro, I click on IE, go to ninite.com (thanks Merc), and download Classic Shell (with defaults). I've...

Nope, just wiring in the phone cradle with integrated charger and looking for a slick way to get the NFC/BT audio gateway wired in (my car is old enough that the stock BT doesn't do music).

If you have a couple million to spare, this is the place to be.

Bit ambitious for a weeknight...parts shops around here aren't open at midnight.

A while ago I posted about how I would like my bedroom to be an anechoic chamber. In the past, people have stated that you would go crazy if you tried to stay in one. Here is a practical test that seems to show my thoughts aren't without merit.

I'm hesitant to trust a closed-source product in an environment (the internet) that is changing so rapidly. How many known security bugs are in Firefox or Chrome? It may be a lot, but at least it is a known quantity. Deal-breakers are also dealt with more promptly (as Merc has stated).

Last time I did that was when I involuntarily departed a bicycle at speed. I did not stop to post before stopping the bleeding, though. So props on that.

The only sites I use IE for are ones that won't work with the more secure competition. Strangely enough, it is usually banking or intranet sites.

This is probably the strongest argument for a subscription model I know of.

Thanks for that time. One end is an ATT T-1, but the other is a local wireless ISP that I do quite a bit of work with. I'll give their head-tech a call and see if they've fooled with anything lately. If ATT blocked VPNs on their business connections it would be on Slashdot already.

I'll start playing with this now.

I just removed the connection from both boxes and re-entered all the information based on actual settings (whatismyip.com, password in a text file and copy/pasted into both sides, etc). The connection showed as successful, but still no data will make it past the local firewall.

With something as volatile as crypto currencies, the question for me would be how long before the equipment pays for itself? After that ROI becomes less important, but the thing needs to exist long enough to cash out. Then it can be just a game.

My feeling is that the robustness of the hardware is similar enough to not be worth fighting for. I'd go for the longer warranty, which is a sure thing.

It succeeds to the green interface of the local firewall (192.168.0.1 or 192.168.6.1) then times out.

An interesting point, but the clocks are all +/- 1 minute. This is also effecting multiple machines on either end that were working fine this morning and don't use any common infrastructure (DNS/NTP/AD).

Was working fine this morning (and for the last 7 years), then dropped while unattended. Each end has a Smoothwall firewall with VPN set up. Both ends have internet connectivity. Both ends show VPN as connected. Both ends have routes programmed. Tested with multiple devices, nothing on either...

Indeed. vBulletin is probably one of the best forum management packages out there, but there is a fair bit of bloat in what it generates. I'm interested in seeing what the "App" version can do in terms of mobile performance. Of course, now he's put himself under a bit more pressure to get it...

That was my thought as well. This one almost lasted the full two years before failure. If I am just a little bit luckier with the next one I'd be fine.

I keep my phone in my front pants pocket. This isn't an issue with the S3 at all, and I suspect the Note 3 will also work there if you keep it naked. ProClip (my car mount of choice) makes one for the Note 3 (naked) or one specifically for the Note 3 in a Defender-series Otterbox case. This...

I recently recommended the (very similar) MFC-J4710DW to a friend. I have no experience with the non-laserjet MFCs.

The webpage is fine if you have any two of the following: a computer, a fast internet connection, plenty of time. The App is just an optimized view of the forums for slower devices with slower internet connections and smaller screens.

Yup, I know it is. And I may already be late for one. I was just notified that my registration is already overdue (never received the letter in the mail and never noticed myself).

Dynamic pricing much? In 1 hour? Thanks Amazon!

Some issues: 1. APR 3" Downpipe, when mounted to factory exhaust using factory mounts (per instructions) scraped the drive shaft just enough under strong deceleration to cause the loudest howl of all time. Slight modifications to the mount resolved this issue. 2. Carbino intake doesn't seem to...

I try not to use it as a phone, either. But having a tiny internet-connected computer with me all the time is really nice. In order of usage for me: 1. Audio (Audible/Pandora/AmazonMP3) 2. E-Mail (all Google-hosted accounts) 3. Remote management tools (GoToMyPC) 4. Misc Internet (mostly here)...

I do my best to avoid phone calls unless I'm in the car. I spend perhaps 5 minutes a day with the handset to my ear.

My S3 did not survive the night. My 10-month old managed to knock it from the bedside table to the floor, and bits of the screen are starting to fall out. That such a small thing managed to break the phone would normally upset me, but this thing has taken enough hits up to now that I can't be...

The only ones I've used were the older OCZ units. I haven't looked into them since SATA 3.0 came out.

Having driven a nail through my own foot before, I can recommend using an air gun instead of the old fashioned way. Far less painful and less blood.

I do. I'm just putting together the numbers at the moment. Replacing all the splitters in the house would cost <$1k. Replacing every piece of equipment besides the wires (from dish to faulty receiver) would be <$2500. Pulling a crew from another job for a couple days to tone everything out and...

It would have during the install. Now it is going to be an absolute nightmare. Probably easier to just start replacing things and see if it fixes anything. Those splitters are cheap.

Those curves start too low and go too high.

There is exactly one wire that is labeled. It says "sitting". There are 5 sitting rooms in the house.
