Damn census called again. Apparently they call four months this year and the same four months next year. They do ask salary, union, hours and OT hours worked questions every time. I don't mind so much the questions but repeatedly asking the same things is what annoys me.

Some of the micro SD card readers are very small, barely bigger than the card. Those are the smallest USB drives I have. I have on on an ID for work. In other news I picked up a 32gb USB3 patriot supersonic. Don't so much need the space but all that memory and the internal parallelism sure...

I only find that is a problem when you want to get things apart. I have had wheels corroded on the hub to the point where I had to take the thing down to a tire shop and have some kids whack the wheel off with a rubber coated sledge hammer (won't hurt the rim). I am convinced that up here no...

My subaru is something like 71ft/lbs for the lug nuts and those are pretty standard nuts on a lug centric wheel. I think my land rover was actually lower at 55ft/lbs, but those were a different/special type of nut that is pretty large with integrated flat washer and hub centric wheels. Then...

That is scary. There is a torque rating for every bolt on the car in the service manual, some are suprisingly light when you put the torque wrench on there.

I might actually get a bluray player. Thinking about this one, has some interesting other options on the media player appliance side. http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMP-BDT310-Integrated-Wi-Fi-Blu-ray-Player/dp/B004LNOSQO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie=UTF8&coliid=I27PRF9H4AEZA8&colid=25J2MBDWCL1RE

There are raging hatred debates on Mac fora about the glossy/matte thing and as apple likes to reduce options that's one thing I think they are hesitant to pull users choice away from. I don't like how they use the same keyboard on the bigger machines, they should take advantage of the space...

I just plain find the whole process intrusive. I am going to choose to make myself very hard to get a hold of, I already don't have a home phone and I don't see why these guys need to be contacting my cell phone. We're from the government we are here to help.

In another thread here I fixed my dropping disk by replacing a bad cable. Don't overlook the basics.

I have my taxes done and my situation isn't complicated so I am pretty sure I'm safe there. Specifically when they ask they are asking about the previous work week. Damn, as I type this they call again. Glad this phone doesn't have voicemail.

They keep asking me if I moved, changed jobs, how many hours I worked, how many overtime hours of work etc.

What the hell is up with the Census Bureau this year? The contact me every month.

Apples first OTA update appeared to be a flawless process but the battery debate rages on. Historically with any update there seems to be a major debate about battery life changes, forums are filled with them but I have never really noticed much myself. I really don't like to see applications...

What's wrong with it?

Is it even UL listed?

I think there is a thing with CDMA phones where they are sold with a number attached to a particular carrier, from then on you can't move that handset from carrier to carrier. Similar thing where they can block that number and you can never use that handset again on that carrier, it is locked...

Near the start after he fires all the help, he had to find the one guy that makes his coffee the next day.

Also love this quote

I want the coffee machine from green lantern, otherwise I was meh on the rest. It was a mildly entertaining popcorn flick.

So I assume they just cut a deal with about every public wifi provider they could, integrated and streamlined the signon to the WAPs to happen automatically in the background of the phone? That's actually pretty nice. I use ipass through work to do something similar but there is a signon...

I don't think I understand, jumping from nothing to the PC world is far more difficult than picking up any of the tablets. Given what we know of PCs it might not seem that way to US but there is a serious learning curve to work effectively with a PC.

Merkur double edge, man that is some old school stuff. I didn't know they still sold things like that.

Lets look at the source article then. This is before the 4S announcement. When this was posted there was no 4S that apple would admit to anyone. Apple flat out doesn't talk about anything before release. What follows here is speculation. You should probably just stop reading right here. No...

Some post above listed flash as a reason to try win phone, that isn't going to work. There was no marketing claiming 4G. There was a little bit of news that AT&T wanted it to show 4G as it was as fast as some other phones that were claiming 4G with the new radio and all but far as I know that...

Non computer user wants a first machine? Did you pitch the tablet angle?

My friend said sanctum got some interesting updates recently.

Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think win phone 7 supports flash either? Win 8 browser might not either?

I have only owned 2 electric razors, Norelco 985RX (still have as backup) and a 8891XL. Both reasonably top of the line for when they were purchased. First one lasted about fourteen years and still works but the batteries are weak. Only had the second one three years or so. Get blades yearlyish.

Airprint capable printer - this is so stupid. There are jailbreak hacks allowing printing to any network printer you like. Second problem, airprint requires WiFi. Problem is that neither the ipad nor the printer will provide a WiFi access point so you need to add one of those to the list...

Marketing screwed the pooch on the 4G thing. When they brand it and it isn't actually an improvement it doesn't breed a lot of trust with the consumer. Whenever they come out with something that delivers and it is still 4G that works what will they call that? I don't consider HSPA+ 4G, others...

That and they seem to come through windows update with the rest of the patches with no fanfare.

I have a set on my triplefis. Basically these are foamy ear plugs with a tube in the middle for the IEM. They offer similar noise blocking to regular OSHA 26db foamy ear plugs, maybe more. About as comfortable as foamy ear plugs too.

A deal

Was waiting for that to happen. I think they actually have a problem with the thing on their network as other handset owners don't seem to be complaining like the network can't handle it. Support minefield...

I am constantly battling shitty USB to serial adapters in my job because the laptops that were approved have no real rs232 port. Right now I have a dongle here with a prolific pl2101 chipset in it that works for modscan32 but not chipkin cas modbus scanner. Also have a dongle here with...

Mine is TD/Banknorth and we have a lot of RBC across the states. Their data centers are a decent sized customer of ours. Don't recognize the rest.

Sounds good about ING, I guess they realized that the good old USA is still in the stone age as far as banking is concerned and you need paper checks still these days. I was talking to a guy from finland and he was just amazed at how backwards we are compared to europe as far as our banking is...

Externally anyway, checking deeper in the PC board they are vastly different. What the heck I will give it a try.

This looks familiar http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=310-312

IMG used to be great when they were kicking over 5+% on their savings account but now with about nothing it isn't that great. I don't understand their checking account, you about can't send them a paper check or write paper checks. Just not ready to switch over to 100% electronic myself. I...

Footprint is pretty important, I have a whole receiver here that won't fit on the desk but could do the same thing minus the USB. Those exact functions that covers with nothing more or less is what appeals to me. The X1/X2 combo for triple the price and double the footprint seem like the upgrade...

My first bike was a PITA until it was decently hot. Second was no problem at all, as long as enrichment was set right. Carbs suck, my next bike is going to be fuel injected.

Very cool! Looks like there is a kit even, I just may have to do that.

Have they given an example site? I don't understand the concern on the formatting, you are saying they made is worse somehow?

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/mobile-news/iphone-4s-day-1-with-an-android-phone-owner/5014 What I am looking for from android, slow down a bit and deliver a completely polished product. Cut out the manufacturer and even more importantly the carrier customizations, or at least have them...

I don't understand, why would they need to post a new app to the store? There are already several forum reader apps out there that work on multiple forums, and you basically have to install the forum plugin. Last time I investigated this I was looking for one mobile forum app that covered all...
