Dynamic pricing much? In 1 hour? Thanks Amazon!

Some issues: 1. APR 3" Downpipe, when mounted to factory exhaust using factory mounts (per instructions) scraped the drive shaft just enough under strong deceleration to cause the loudest howl of all time. Slight modifications to the mount resolved this issue. 2. Carbino intake doesn't seem to...

I try not to use it as a phone, either. But having a tiny internet-connected computer with me all the time is really nice. In order of usage for me: 1. Audio (Audible/Pandora/AmazonMP3) 2. E-Mail (all Google-hosted accounts) 3. Remote management tools (GoToMyPC) 4. Misc Internet (mostly here)...

I do my best to avoid phone calls unless I'm in the car. I spend perhaps 5 minutes a day with the handset to my ear.

My S3 did not survive the night. My 10-month old managed to knock it from the bedside table to the floor, and bits of the screen are starting to fall out. That such a small thing managed to break the phone would normally upset me, but this thing has taken enough hits up to now that I can't be...

The only ones I've used were the older OCZ units. I haven't looked into them since SATA 3.0 came out.

Having driven a nail through my own foot before, I can recommend using an air gun instead of the old fashioned way. Far less painful and less blood.

I do. I'm just putting together the numbers at the moment. Replacing all the splitters in the house would cost <$1k. Replacing every piece of equipment besides the wires (from dish to faulty receiver) would be <$2500. Pulling a crew from another job for a couple days to tone everything out and...

It would have during the install. Now it is going to be an absolute nightmare. Probably easier to just start replacing things and see if it fixes anything. Those splitters are cheap.

Those curves start too low and go too high.

There is exactly one wire that is labeled. It says "sitting". There are 5 sitting rooms in the house.

I hate troubleshooting DirecTV splitters. Particularly in systems with 20+ receivers. Edit: The grey cable near the top is a 150A power line. The black 2" pipe near the bottom is a gas line. The array of splitters is one of three banks in the house (20,000+ sq.ft.)

That is probably the bulk of it, and more run time.

A friend got to use my EagTac MX25L3 last night was was impressed. He is looking for something larger to replace his 3-D Cell Maglite. Doesn't need more performance, but is hoping for longer battery life. The light will live in his truck, so some kind of wired trickle-charger would be awesome...

Welcome pgrcom to the community!

Losing heat due to icing seems particularly troublesome. Do you have a secondary source? Fireplace?

I've already done a local install for the server, but the boss would like to be able to run reports for both the POS (both sites) and QB side from her desk. Previously I had a copy of QB installed on the server at each location that she would remote into, but now it is all being consolidated...

Thanks! I haven't been to my office in nearly two weeks. Most of my time has been at a facility 20 miles the other direction from my house. I do run into the building that contains my office to put out fires, but never long enough to sit down at my computer. I'll get it going again now.

Sorry to hear that. The only good news I can see is that, if all your health issue posts so far were accurate, you'd be dead 2 or 3 times already. May this one also fail to kill you ;)

You, too huh? ;) I'm in the middle of switching to the new version at a couple sites and tying in with the new version of QB Enterprise. Hopefully it will play well enough with the VPN that I can run an instance of QB POS at the admin office and not need to install QB out at the site (like I...

Study more? ;)

Interesting. I know I had to deal with some code stuff and install additional vents when I closed some off during the remodel. I'll need to read though that more carefully when I don't have a baby on my lap, but it is interesting how they say the humidity issue is better without the vents? None...

Thanks for that, testing it now.

Coug had nearly the same thought I did, but that would only be a concern until everyone noticed that I would pretty much never pay anyone for posts. Not that I haven't paid for products and consulting services from a number of members (and would hope that they've all considered it a fair...

I'll get the exact reason, but I believe it had something to do with responsiveness of the app and simplicity of the interface.

Seller is PC Parts Depot.

Darn quick for me at the moment.

My boss was running an app called "Note Everything" until recently. One of the advantages was that it was supposed to backup to Google Docs. A few months ago he did a firmware upgrade on his phone and it lost the data on the phone and...no backup! I'm looking for an app that does roughly the...

I'm just going to leave this here....

Nope. Not sure at all.

FiOS net neutrality issue?

I just ordered a new monster rig from Amazon, making sure that all the items were prime eligible. I didn't pay attention to who was selling the item, so long as they would ship same-day with 2-day shipping. The first box to arrive was a Newegg box. If they are already offering their products...

Might be the same block, APR claims 400hp at the crank for their stage III kit. The engine I drool over is the 2.5l I-5 that the RS3 used to have (mentioned in your article). That thing has tons of potential.

In the 3 series Audi, they haven't offered an S or RS version in the US in a long time (ever?). I really like the smaller car, but more importantly I love hatchbacks. Not just the practicality, but the look. Audi doesn't even offer a hatchback 3 in the US anymore. But even if they did offer an...

The Recaro OEM seats from the RS3 look tempting... https://www.recaro-automotive.com/us/product-areas-us/original-equipment/products/audi-rs3/audi-rs3.html

I don't want a race car. I don't even plan on auto crossing, and I don't want to sacrifice the bits of luxury that I like or change the look of the car. I've even added some sound deadening strategically in some weak spots. The seats I was considering as an upgrade are ventilated (something my...

I was able to not pay that price ;) And any performance above the standard battery is secondary to me. The goal is to shave as much weight as possible from the car (~35 pounds from the front of the car in this case), bonus points if it is from the front or top, double bonus points if it is...

Finally decided to follow up with APR on my Carbino Intake after a month of it being on back-order. No response other than a tracking number. What a coincidence. And on the way home today my rear-right brake started screeching (low pad), so the StopTech sport kit (4-wheel, slotted rotors, pads...

It would be interesting to see if one of those third-party tools worked or no (whether VSS was actually working correctly or not).

Awesome. Thanks Merc!

It's domino time, the rest of the free service-based systems should disappear soon. This makes sense considering services cost money. I also believe that none of the non-service-based systems are easy/reliable enough to deploy. They are too sensitive to changing IPs/Firewall settings/etc.

There is a local drive on a Win7 computer that is TrueCrypt encrypted. Because of this, the share breaks every time the machine is rebooted. Once the drive is mounted, I need to share the drive (U:) as "U" with full access to a local user group "company users" I tried the "net share" command...

I'm the least football-oriented person I know. I don't even know how many points the various things earn. But I stopped by a friend's Super Bowl party just to say hi. It turns out her husband (who was sitting next to me) used to play in the NFL for Denver and New York. I got a bit of a lesson in...

Indeed. But the usual steps of waterproofing the board or insulating the waterblocks only works long-term if the water outside the pipes doesn't freeze ;)

Going below freezing brings all kinds of trouble; I wouldn't consider it viable for 24/7/365 operation. My current water cooled loop has been running 24/7 for over a year without even needing to add coolant. My current loop runs at near outdoor ambient (the radiator is in the garage) which at...

In the spirit of internet forums everywhere, this is not a solution to the problem that you asked about. But I had no idea it existed, and you might be interested. SanDisk ReadyCache SSD (with software)

I don't think I'm this crazy....not sure how much extra OC I could get driving the waterblock below ambient....

...although I'm hoping it is generic. Bluetooth annoys me. My wife and I get into each others cars with our cell phones, and specifying whose phone is tied in is a pain. The best I've found is this NFC-enabled BT-audio receiver that works exactly as advertised, but doesn't support phone anyway...

I'm using R.A.T.9s everywhere at this point. I also like some of the added weight, and the customizable size (I have big hands). The batteries are starting to exceed their lifetime, though. Thinking of building a larger one and ditching the weights.

I may have a PCI sound card at the office still. I'll take a look Monday.
