My wife often gets annoyed at my rightness. I assure her it only happens when we disagree ;)

Yup. You plug it into your router/hub/switch like another computer. You then connect to it and configure it using some software that goes on your computer. The cool part is that if you really want good coverage you can install more than one of them in different parts of your house and configure...

Even larger HDDs can saturate the real-world speed of a PCI card...I would only go that way if I had no choice.

Right you are.

Sounds about right. I have two more windows and one more sunroof than you do.

Dirt is getting behind the Zertz inserts on my bike. I'm nearly certain that I can remove, clean, and re-insert them, but I am hesitating.

A full new router or just a wireless access point? The most cost effective solution would be to leave your current router running as-is, possibly disabling the wireless, and put in a dedicated AP. This one is my favorite, and I guarantee it is more powerful, capable, and cheaper than a new...

The shop I found confirmed that they will do the sunroofs and the windshield with a lifetime warranty. The whole car for $750.

Only when the battery in the cadence meter is dying or the measurement arm is out of alignment. I tend to maintain 80-110rpm.

Quite so. Even if you don't get the service plan, I'm certain the 5k service is free.

Still negotiating on the windshield and sunroofs, but doing all the doors and everything behind them in Blue AIR 80 would be $650 from a very reputable shop with a lifetime warranty.

As do I. I got a standard finish, so the odds are better. Considering your predicament, I would be considering the more expensive wheels.

My wheels are "at the finisher" and should be ready "next week". Only a week after initial ETA; not that bad.

When I bought my car, they made me sign an additional document indicating that I had read and understood the requirements for a front license plate in CA, then asked me if I wanted the front license plate holder installed or no. Nice of them to ask, but I want to choose when my car is breaking...

I can't get away with not having a front plate; it is required by law in CA and city parking enforcement is starting to issue tickets for it. IIRC, Michigan doesn't require one.

Indeed. And for most users this will be "enough". The highest resolution they will need is to consume HD content.

At least it isn't that BMW..that front end is awful.

I found a shop in town that is a certified installer. What are you estimating a full round of Blue Air 80 to cost? I assume you plan on doing all 9 panes of glass?

Interesting. I wonder if it is partially due to the mechanicals being partially visible and attached directly to the glass? At the very least this might make it difficult enough for some shops to think up reasons to try and get out of it.

This I am very interested in. At the moment I have a very light factory tint on the two sun/moonroof and clear glass everywhere else. CA is pretty restrictive on tints, but I do want to do something before the summer really heats up.

Indeed. We have white ones for formal stuff (never actually used them), but the denim is durable and works well.

Are you close enough to just bring the car in and have them fit the wheels? That solves your problem and theirs.

I'll throw in a challenge to the Coug: http://youtu.be/25InPGBeAJ8

Here is the data from the ride...complete self-destruction and over in less time than it took me to register for the race. Grr.

Many of our vertical-market programs still won't work with anything beyond XP. I've already informed the vendors that if they don't have it resolved this year I'll be going to someone else. I've been working with many of our software companies to develop web-based clients that would be hosted...

I suspect it will happen when all those OSes combined add up to >5% of the workstation population. So yes, you are right.

We are about 25% done. I plan a push to get everything to 7 before XP support ends. I was hoping to be able to go Linux before 7; I'm hoping that this will be the last MS OS I need to deploy.

Nope. The box is there, and I can click in it, but typing yields nothing. It doesn't even save the typing for later. Eventually it just starts working without any indication that anything changed.

Mine has been noticeably slower since the forum software upgrade. On a fast connection it is only a fraction of a second, but on my phone or on my super saturated link at work it can take 35 seconds for a forum to come up. The bigger delay at work is trying to use the quick reply box at the...

Another thing to think about is that MFLs hate power cycling. They will kill the bulb faster than leaving it on in many instances. LEDs don't care.

At one place I used to work I was able to come to an agreement. I could bring in my own gear for my own use, but officially became "theirs" with one of their asset tags and I would never be able to remove it from the office again. It sounds more harsh than it really is. If you plan on working...

When you create a new tab, it suggests what you would like to put in it. I like that.

New Firefox 13 actually has a noticeable improvement.

Yeah, saw that when it came out (~18 months ago). I have systems that beat it now with just a couple PCIe SSDs.

On my VW I had a set of tires that rubbed, and it ruined the whole experience. I don't think I drove it really hard again until I got rid of it. Not an experience worth risking, IMO.

Unfortunate for you, but I am glad they didn't reply that this is normal for all their finishes. Mine are 1 week out.

Two cases of stuff from ATS Acoustics arrived here last week. I haven't messed with the full sized sheets of acoustic insulation yet, but I have been playing with the foam panels, and it is a remarkable improvement in some of the more live rooms. If course, if you want to actually stop noise...

Had my first race today, Category 5 (beginners). Didn't go into it in the best shape; slightly bent crank and misbehaving bottom bracket and front derailleur. On top of that I was sunburnt, undernourished, tired, and hungover. These guys were vicious, right out of the gate they were pushing...

Can I get some pictures of your wheels? I'd like to know what to keep my eye out for when mine arrive.

I put the fan for my range hood on the roof, even put a muffler in the attic. All I hear is 1000cfm+ of air being drawn through the filter.

Nah, I actually second-guessed it and cancelled the whole thing. I shall retain my Android 1.5 goodness with the 6-hour battery.

Nah, I've just been learning my scotch, and whiskey. At the moment my favorites are the Macallan 15 and Jameson 18.

Just send them to work and have your PA handle it.

Created an account just to get the Note. I haven't had a personal phone in 10 years.

Meh. For my use 3G/4G and a big screen are all I care about. I don't even think I'll use it for voice.

'salright. My Note is already on it's way ;)

It would be an awesome addition to an RSync of media files over the internet.

Sprint (which I am stuck with) has a mess of a network; three different technologies for high speed internet alone. Up to now you've needed different products to get on the different parts of their network. This will let me get on all of them and better map the connection options for some of my...

Yup.

I have a "Tri-Fi" hotspot on the way...it will be interesting to see what service I am able to get where.
