I don't understand that last sentence at all. I know all the words, but...nothing. Could you try again?

I have been leaving the soap in the bottle and haven't noticed any issues. Of course, mine is attached to a pressure washer, so it is unlikely anything could stand in the way long. Soap has been in there for about a month so far with a wash about every week.

So have you gone completely Nikon, Lunar? It sounds like you have nothing but bad opinions on Canon gear?

Not sure who else has a 7D, but there is a new Firmware "Coming Soon" that looks interesting.

At the current rate there won't be any hair in a decade anyway.

The lens is ok. Honestly, there isn't anything it does that isn't done better by either the 50/1.4 or the 17-40/4L, but it is cheap enough to risk with animals and small enough to not intimidate people at events.

All the chrome on my car was bugging me, so I plastidipped it gunmetal grey to match the wheels. (Photo taken with the new $200 Canon 40mm/2.8 pancake lens)

You need another dipstick?

I've lived with women in the same house about 90% of my life. I suspect I have maxed out that trait.

Sweet. That might take over from my SIII, more screen isn't a bad thing, and I can't imaging the bulk being an issue.

So far this one has already cost the equivalent of paying cash for an S4, and it is still -7.5 months old. Yay technology. I want to make sure it is a boy before proposing Zoltan...otherwise she might think I'm strange. ;)

;)

Indeed. Those were the days... Now it looks like I'm going to be a father.

I haven't tried that yet. Currently throwing a much-needed backup of some stuff on there. I have a quad-port GbE Intel NIC that I plan on using for that purpose.

For the right money they visit you ;)

Looks promising for a game still in beta...

Not anything measurable in my experience.

Correct. The data isn't compressed until after it is transferred the drive.

I'm going to one this weekend, and then another in two weeks.

If you end up getting them I'll pay you double for a case ;)

Filled a Synology 1812+ with 3TB Seagates I had sitting around (7200RPM). Allowed it to create the default array, which it states as "Synology Hybrid RAID with 1 disk of fault-tolerance). Connected with a single NIC to a GbE switch and I'm getting 99MB/s writes to the array. Not bad at all.

To play multimedia files (from local shares or online services) on your TV.

That would do it. The other thing you can try is plugging the laptop into the ethernet and bridging the wireless and wired NICs into an ad-hoc network. I would just get the router, or configure the S2 to do the wireless hotspot thing if it can.

They seem to work well with computers. I use them as the first step to getting VHS onto a computer.

Actually it was I who was making that presumption. DVD to VHS is a different matter, as they make single units for that prototype that work great.

I would be thinking exactly as you are. It is a great deal, so long as it is reliable enough. I would probably put in the budget at least one spare of everything, possibly an entire spare blade instead of just the parts. I would also do a couple of test calls to technical support; don't lie...

We use Google for e-mail. This means that everyone already has a nice, clean, web-based IM client running all the time. You can even go direct to video conference if you like. And the transcript of an IM conversation gets e-mailed to the participants at the end.

yup.

I think I used the wrong word. These aren't definable programmable buttons, they just aren't physical buttons. They are on the sides of the home button and only perform their single task. They are off the screen so don't consume pixels. It seems the touch sensors for the screen extend beyond the...

Both of them?

Just so. The phone also has dedicated soft buttons (off screen) for back and menu.

posting from my demo S3. nice screen. happy so far.

Still kicking around in the box if you are interested.

Still hasn't paid me. The machine is now openly for sale, I'll need to put a write-up on here when I can. Just looking to recover some of the cost. Coug, I know you want it ;)

Sweet. Thanks.

How much of a deal is upping the PM quota? Would that be an additional expense?

Nice. Now that is a distinctive car. ;)

Played with some of the cleaning stuff. Washed my wife's car, and tried the clay on a couple panels (the actual clay, not the orbital skin thing). Amazing difference. Some discoloration (likely from bugs/bird droppings being on for a long time) are still visible. Will the polishing take care of...

My backup NAS is at another location connected via VPN. I'm still looking for a simple "replicate efficiently" setting/program. It seems you either get: 1. Support for large file systems (10+ TB) 2. Efficient/smart network utilization 3. Ease of configuration If you look really hard, in...

Nope. I'm thinking Saturday afternoon.

I suspect the two ports are going to be tricky. Normally that involves some configuration on your switch as well. I was thinking of routing it directly to my main machine via two crossover cables and a dual port GbE Intel NIC, but the speed on the thing (250-300MB/s) doesn't really warrant that.

For polishing I went with the "Hyper System" from the same people that make Opti-Coat 2.0. Never done any of this before, in fact that was the first time I'd washed the car myself.

Big chunk of mirror, frameless, square. My wife occasionally insists on a beveled edge. I prefer it to be flat and extend from the countertop or floor all the way to the ceiling.

Sweet. My dad is thinking of getting a Model S, and recharging stations are going into his work because most of management drives Teslas.

I think 4.1 will.

Got to test out the foam lance today, that thing is awesome. Just threw some Dawn Ultra and the results were amazing. Getting ready to Opti-Coat 2.0 over the weekend. Trying to make sure I get all the necessary steps in: 1. Wash thoroughly 2. Clay 3. Polish 4. Opti-coat Did I miss anything...

So what protective coatings are you putting on and in which order?

From what I can tell that was a specific production run and their handling of the situation seemed acceptable to most of those effected.

The Range Rover Evoque turns heads of non-car people. But as far as sedans go, there has been so much optimization through time with safety and efficiency standards that really there isn't much to do other than fiddly bits (headlights, grilles, bumpers).

Indeed. But my wife doesn't like the look of the A/S7 and I need something more practical than a sedan. Any kind of hatch will do.
