How does that crap happen? Don't they test the engines with it?
In other words, they engineer in planned obsolescence and/or assume price is the only thing important to people. I'd rather pay somewhat more for something I'll know will last a lifetime (or at least be easily repairable) than buy what is essentially a throw-away product. Unfortunately, it seems nowadays you often just can't get solid products. Paying more isn't even a guarantee. I've seen stuff where the price premium is solely due to have a name brand on a product. Inside it looks just like cheap generic versions.More often than you would think (especially if you consider cars as well**). Basically the engineers work out how much stress on the gears there are during the complete rev range for each gear, determine the materials required and then reduce the amount of materials (in order to reduce cost) but still maintain a slight % factor for safety/reliability. As manufacturing techniques and materials improve over the years engineers (pushed by their managers) have been reducing that fudge factor in order to reduce costs... At some point, reliability to reduced below what is considered acceptable/safe (as it'll cost you more in repairs than saved during manufacturing).
Those same principles apply with basically any manufactured product you buy these days, and hence why most brown and white goods don't last as long as they used to. (Most sales people will admit, most white goods only have a 5yr life now).
I let my son go to sleep in our bed tonight since wife was out at her company Christmas party. Shortly after falling asleep, he sat up and said 'I fight for the users.' and laid back down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5KfzyO4feo
I did about 9 years ago with a friend of mine. He was the one who talked directly to the lawyer although since it was primarily my idea I wrote some of the preliminary paperwork. I could email you the documents if you want to get an idea of what the patent filing should look like.Has anyone here ever filed for a patent? I will be employing a lawyer later, but I'd like to get my prep done before their clock starts.

My uncle and my father both have some. The guy my dad dealt with had a chess timer by his phone to track time because $600/hour adds up even 2 minutes at a time.
At 7 months putting things in their mouth is the thing. If you need a laugh give them a slice of lemon.

Have to wonder how much this might be related to the demographic that purchases R1's (or other sport bikes). I imagine many are rode hard and put away wet - literally.
Those sound like they could be important for surfers and other people who spend a lot of time in the ocean.shark absorbers
It's called thumbs. You have around ten.I don't know who or what is messing with my words. :scratch:

I'm sure some of the drivers screw around with the shark absorbers, etc. Isn't the transmission controlled by a computer, not that that does much for crappy components?
Over the top computer desk here. Maybe after DD gets bored with his 800kw flashlight he can look into this?!?
I couldn't figure out what was going on. There were canisters of some kind of solution with fluorescein and kids playing video games?
Needs more fans. That looks undercooled.
If I was going that hardcore I think a car radiator might be the way to go: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums...ther-Car-Radiator-Thread....Major-56K-Warning
But configure it so it vented inside during winter and outside during summer.
Internal Shot

...and thanks Handruin for whatever you did to fix my image imbedding issue!
Oh my god, that internal shot made my knees turn to jelly. So... much... power...
Oh yeah baby. The fancy-pants SLI bridge is giving me wood. LMAO.
Protocase will custom make according to CAD plans...If you wanted to buy some ATX motherboard trays with I/O and PCI card support, where would you buy them?
They are not ripped to my "NAS". First, I don't have the space for that and beyond that... Without going into a long-winded rant, the "short" version is that there's no suitable 3D playback solution for the PC. FFMPEG/Libav doesn't support MVC decoding and all the hardware decoders in the video cards for 3D don't have an open API to them, so only Arcsoft TMT (which has since been pulled from the market) and PowerDVD can play back 3D Blu-ray in Windows because they paid for access to the API in the video hardware. PowerDVD is a pile of poop. Arcsoft was decent, but won't bitstream audio with my last two video cards. Linux support is even worse. The Rpi 2 with Kodi can do 3D playback with frame packed output with 7.1 LPCM audio (no bitstreaming), but in general Kodi has problems with the UDF format used on 3D discs. There are some test builds, but they're apparently still not capable of flawless playback. There's also no menu support in Kodi. Some of the Chinese Android boxes claim 3D ISO support, but they all have quirks if they even do it. Like 24.000Hz output instead of 23.976Hz output or other issues.Do you actually dig through the disks when you want to play something? Or do you have them ripped to your NAS?
