Thanks for the tips on the battery, I replaced the battery in the other one (an '09) over a year ago. So, in order to do things from cheapest to most expensive, battery, coilpacks, intake. Sounds like a plan, thanks all!

So you're looking for something that can copy CF cards to a hard drive and is lighter than a laptop? Perhaps a tablet or phone with a host-mode USB adapter + hub?

Indeed. Which sub are you using?

Looks amazing for that price. It also looks huge. How many inputs do you anticipate using?

So if it is a valve cleaning it seems that requires a shop and about $800. Coilpacks are about $90. Seems swapping them is possible in my garage, what is the likelihood I could install them myself? Even if I have to do the valves anyway (seems everyone is having issues), that is a low price to...

That did it! Only had to unwrap as far as the shifter. It is amazing how different the bike feels with only a 4cm difference in reach. Thanks again sdbardwick!

Ah, that would save me a ton of time. Thanks!

The dealer in my area is not to be spoken to or looked at. I wouldn't accept a fire extinguisher from him if my car was alight. There are many fantastic dealers in the Bay Area, closes is about 50 miles away. From my searching of the internet so far, the most common problem with these symptoms...

And the part of my bad day that goes here: Colder than normal when I started up this morning (53F). Check Engine light started blinking and then went solid on. Engine Protection Circuitry light went on within seconds (AKA limp mode). Brought it back to the house and the following error codes...

Today hasn't really been going my way. The part of that that belongs in this thread is the following: Their manual is not specific. Do I really need to strip my bars completely and thread them all the way through from one end? I hate wrapping bar tape... Edit: I'm swapping stems because my...

Same core :p

Just ordered the cheapest 2011 CPU and motherboard I could find. I'll do some swapping on Monday.

A week later and I've actually had a chance to throw something together. I have a sinking suspicion that this motherboard doesn't have a BIOS that supports this chip. Machine powers up for about a second (fans spin up) then shuts down for about two seconds, and repeats forever. Tried different...

Apparently there are no limits on the movement/expansion of space-time itself, only stuff in it. Neat video.

The full replays are only two hours long. Per day. Plus the 6 hours approx. bi-weekly for F1 races. Plus the usual YouTube subscriptions. Turns a 14-hour workday into a 9-hour workday. ;)

This link will take you straight to an awesome moment in the America's Cup race. Nothing fancy, just both boats in close quarters hauling ass. The Americans have made an incredible comeback, BTW. At one point the score was 8-1, with America one loss away. Now it is 8-8 with the final race...

Can you share that? It would be a great way to steer my clients away from iTunes and towards freedom.

Not my best work, but my wife loves pictures like this one.

We have a general policy that work machines are not to be used for personal stuff, but this is very loosely enforced as it doesn't matter in 99% of cases. 30 minutes a week is all I usually spend telling people to stop some particularly troublesome activity, totally worth it to improve morale...

I'm a firm believer that social problems cannot be fixed with technical solutions. Partially thwarted perhaps, but "life finds a way", and it isn't without a morale hit and resentment. Best just to hit them in the wallet and let the economics of the situation help them in their decision. I'm...

Full re-installs, including the OS, have been preformed on several occasions. Other users have the same software (AutoCAD 2014) on their systems (some even running his rejected machines) without issue.

His entire building has a high-end interactive UPS wired to a special outlet in every office for the computer.

He claims it happens on all kinds of files, over the network or local, new or old.

This user works for one of our subsidiaries, whose tech support needs I handle as part of my day job. Here is the complete text of an e-mail I just sent to my boss (owner of everything), the head of that business, and their office manager (who is in charge of the bills and through whom I...

This is going to be a long-winded rant, so feel free to skip it. I have an AutoCAD user. Up until about 4 months ago he was running AutoCAD 2008 on an XP box with a dual-core processor and 4GB of RAM. Then he started complaining about crashes. I wasn't able to replicate them, but his machine...

Of course, Merc is right, but I'm going to keep going with this as well ;) From what I understand, the only property that two entangled particles have is that they are opposite. This is a property that the particles have before either has been measured or moved apart. My brain tries to keep...

Awesome. Thanks for sharing that.

From my understanding, there is no information transfer in quantum entanglement. The orientation of the second entangled bit is determined the instant the first is measured (as near simultaneously as we can measure) regardless of distance, but there is no information that can be extracted from...

I'm about halfway through a Stanford lecture series on Quantum Entanglement by Leonard Susskind which is amazingly good (despite the video quality). The reason it is taking me so long is that I have to keep going back to Khan Academy to learn the math required.

Yup, top edge of device. Works in Firefox, GMail and DogCatcher (the only apps I use that need scrolling)

I don't think the architecture difference is going to matter that much, at least in my application. I will be sticking a pair of titans onto it, at least as a test, just to see what's up.

I know it is in my S3, but I'm not sure how it does it (whether it is 4.3 or a device-specific feature.)

Hopefully I'll have time to fool with this today:

We think of them differently. At least I do. The fun concept that I heard the other day is that due to the rate of expansion becoming greater the further you are from anywhere, there are parts of it that are accelerating away from us faster than the speed of light that are lost to us forever no...

Which seems larger or more unfathomable to you, all of space or all of time?

You sure? All three of those would have been OEM for me, with the fourth (that you omitted) being the only image install. Low client variability, high additional software= image install

Bought. I was playing with the 35/2 and decided I wanted a wider angle. So far this lens is just awesome. I've only had it for a day, but it is tons of fun. Trying to shoot an uncooperative subject (5-month old) with a shallow DOF prime lens is an interesting challenge.

How thin is the DOF on a 24/1.4? Very.

At least this unit doesn't have any belts, I can only imagine the problems that would cause. The number of parts is remarkably low considering all it does.

Isn't that like picking rich parents?

Nope. There had been a blockage in the drain pipe that had dislodged a gasket in the sump pump. Managed to just fix it without needing spare parts.

Nah, nearly 6 years ago now. One of the first things that my wife and I bought when we moved into the rental house.

Well, my non-handyman reputation took another hit this weekend. Managed to strip down the washing machine completely and repair the drain pump (had a leak). When I had all the parts strewn around the garage I was regretting getting one with every bell and whistle available. Good news is that it...

I don't think that link points where you wanted it to. Spending $3k on CF cards would only make sense to me if it was a six-figure shoot.

Looking for a battle remix of Blurred Lines and The Fox. Surely this exists on the internet... (yes, I linked to the clean version. But I can highly recommend the unrated version) http://youtu.be/yyDUC1LUXSU http://youtu.be/jofNR_WkoCE

In fact I just checked and it is older than that, a Lexar Professional 400x UDMA7. Only 60MB/s.

The card I leave in my camera is the 128GB version of that one. In case of a really large shoot I have a pair of 64s and a small army of 32s.

My paranoia is at a point where I think they know your location anyway.

Amen to that. I have bags full of Antec and Corsair modular cables that aren't compatible. At one point I had a full custom set of cables made for a Corsair PSU on a high-end build. Contacted someone through a forum and they made a beautiful set with exact cable lengths and connector specs. I...
