    That's not likely to help. I have mine on my desk, not on stands, so I'm getting more bass reinforcement than you are. Then again, I'm not sure how loudly your listening.

    OpenIndiana vs Solaris 11 zones

    And what happens when you have a hardware failure in your single 1U 6017TR-TF compared to having a hardware failure in one of the 23 servers they have now? I imagine the screaming and yelling over having everything down as opposed to ~1/23rd of the functions might be something you'd want to...

    For a studio setting I don't think TTL is needed. Personally I wasn't going to pay PocketWizard pricing. I got some cheaper Chinese wireless triggers. Yongnuo RF-602's. For a wireless shutter remote a got a Phottix Plato. FWIW, if you're running a business you might not want to be screwing...

    The 6D is a turd for the price. I hope Canon sells only a handful of them, has to drop their shorts on the price, and learns a lesson. But, realistically speaking I don't see Canon learning a lesson even if they have to drop their shorts on the price due to poor sales.

    There's a shell in the glove compartment that the plastic key goes into. When that shell + the plastic key is placed into the key slot in the dash you can start the car by pushing the shell forward and holding it (exactly how the normal key works in it). The Start/Stop push button does not...

    I'd give serious consideration to the Emotiva Pro Airmotiv speakers. Given that you're sitting nearfield that makes most passive speakers questionable for that application.

    As I mentioned in my post, it will start the car when put in the shell and placed into the key slot. I was surprised that it would disarm the alarm when used in the door though. Speaking of the alarm... Have you heard the alarm on the S4? It's not exactly an attention grabber. If you...

    Have you played any with the 3rd mini cut plastic key? I decided to try it today to see exactly what it does or doesn't do. When put into the driver door it can unlock/locks the door(s) and disarm/arm the alarm. Once in the car if its placed in the plastic shell it can start the car (in the...

    We don't work in IT, so there aren't any servers around. No bones have been broken either. However, the magnets are strong enough to equal a serious finger pinching experience of the blood blister variety so there's no a lot of incentive to want to "play" with them.
