Something like this: http://www.nokey.com/tnrfstalre.html Does anyone have a preferred vendor or product? I need RFID and keypad, and there is no central management system. I'll need two (one to the elevator lobby, one in the elevator), but I don't want to screw with the cable chases required...

Tempted to go 5930 over 5960 for the higher clock speed. As Merc said, that is too many cores for a single user workstation. The number of programs that can use them all efficiently is vanishingly small. Even those that show load on all cores typically have some single-threaded process that...

It isn't bad, just enough for me to see it every time I look. The guys in the video above show the process (1500, 2000, 2500, cut, polish) and lose less than a mil. I wasn't planning on going any rougher than 3000 (there are some water spots that might take this much to remove anyway). The...

Has anyone here attempted/paid for wetsanding to remove "orange peel" texture from their car? I have the tools, and am considering making a stab at it (nice quiet hours grinding in the garage are relaxing to me at this point) http://youtu.be/RxnnA7ntDUo

So after several weeks with the K04, I've resolved my last complaint. During quick-ish driving (2/3 throttle?), 1-2 and 2-3 shifts were really violent and occasionally the car would hang at redline without shifting for as much as half a second. Once this even set the check-engine light...

So they are all walled gardens, Google is best if you bring your own book but Amazon has the best selection? I agree with the philosophical issue, and I will try to explain some of the complexities, but when their eyes glaze over I will probably say "It's complicated, just buy from Amazon and...

Ouch. No? If you have a drive kicking around the first thing I'd do is make a byte-byte copy and run GetDataBack on the copy.

http://youtu.be/bfLqa4vlmFI I'd still have a 918 if price is no object, but the P85D just answered all my complaints about the Model S and gave it a 3.2s 0-62 at the same time. http://youtu.be/FZ6lZJWL_Xk

Sorry, just to purchase and read books. At the moment just on a laptop, but I'm sure an e-reader will follow if it works for them.

A non-tech friend has asked me to set them up with EBooks. They barely have an email address and flip phones. To start I'll set them up with an account on one of the services, and add it to their Win8 laptop. Which service should they use? I use Google for no particular reason, but there must...

USB3.0@100m (and 2.0@10km). Sweet. Of course, USB3.0@10m for $110 is far more appealing to the wallet. Can't wait.

Nothing yet. I'd like to keep the mic I have, it is already mounted and gives great results when it works. I'm just not sure how to get the signal through the attic; all the power to the house is up there, and it has played havoc with analog audio before. If I bought/built something that could...

Plan B would depend on your display driver. nVidia, Intel, and (I think) AMD allow you to get in and actually specify a resolution (type in the number of pixels and the refresh rate). Intel makes this really easy.

Generally, you can go into the "Advanced" menu and then choose "List All Modes". That should give you all the options, including ones that will completely fail to display on your screen (so be careful).

This place (composed of these people) have been remarkably influential in my life. Good stuff ;)

When I owned the game center I had 25 Sony GDM-FW900 24" CRTs. 1920x1200 was easy, 2048xsomething was possible over VGA.

I have proper docking stations for all my Lenovo Thinkpads. But despite having DP ports, it won't support 4k. The main reason I like having proper docking stations over the USB thingies is not having to change the default audio device.

Yup, it almost would have been simpler for everyone if it just dropped off the internet entirely. But, no. I discovered this group on SR when I was just a little older than you, sedrosken. More than half my life ago.

My experiences with wireless baby monitors are particularly poor. Both in the fidelity and range. I'd be more tempted to go to wireless microphone tech and backtrack from there, but I can't think this is that unusual a configuration? Sure, the application is weird, but getting a microphone onto...

As I'm researching, I realize that the mic requires Bias power and not Phantom power. This further complicates the ADC I'll need on that end. As a matter of fact, I haven't found a single example of what I'm looking for that isn't an entire mixing board.

One of the issues of this house is that, with the layout and all the insulation/isolation I've done in the house, it is impossible for us to hear her regardless of the amount of noise she makes. This will be useful in a decade or so, but at this point this is the only way my wife will fall asleep.

They can also be potty-trained much faster, and are easier to feed.

At the moment our baby monitor consists of the following chain: Sony SCam-30 in-ceiling microphone -> 10' speaker cable -> Axis P8221 Network I/O -> 50' CAT6 -> PoE Adapter -> Switch Then played on my wife's computer in the office, where the audio takes the following trip Computer -> 15' HDMI...

How is playing games over HughesNet? Last time I tried there service the ping times were amazing.

I can only think of one explanation to skipping #9. Since 2000, all the even versions have sucked. They know this one is going to suck, and didn't wanted to break the trend.

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?
