    Internet Connection Woes (v. speaking Klingon)

    Can someone do a trace route on stereodude.net and post it for me. My home internet is down and after speaking to two of the RoadRunner "techs" on the phone I concluded I might as well have been speaking to Klingon. :tdown: I mentioned ping and trace route and you could tell it went right over...

    I sent a note to my salesperson at ModBargains and asked him what's up and cited your order (That a friend ordered 18x8.5" F14s 10 days later and they're already machined but mine are still "sourcing material"). I'll see what they say.

    Dell PERC 5i / 6i battery

    The battery I got from you worked. I'm not sure which PC it ended up in, so I'm not sure if it is still working or not. I tossed in the towel and bought a New Genuine Dell OEM battery off ebay for $45 shipped. IMHO it's way too much money relative to what the used working PERC 5/i and 6/i...

    Dell PERC 5i / 6i battery

    I think the $20 battery off ebay is damaged or bad. It still reads 0V. I tried connecting an 18650 to the PCB from an old battery It correctly read the voltage of the cell, but still would not work. I'm guessing the permanently stored data in the controller prevents it from working. Maybe I...

    I decided to buy one of these to try it after another battery failure. So far I haven't gotten the replacement battery to work. The battery doesn't seem to be communicating correctly. That or it's just not working right. Reportedly the proper replacement procedure is to connect the battery...

    Ford Mustang 2012 review

    I wouldn't be so sure about that. The previous generation European only RS was FWD and even more powerful and all the reviewers raved about it's performance and handling. Sure, what's another 20%? ;) The Focus ST is a GTI competitor, not a Golf R competitor.

    48V DC LED wiring for a new build; XM-Ls, etc.

    Those are both bad configurations to use. You can't control the current in each string. You could end up with too much current one or more of the strings due to variation in Vf.

    Is anyone getting a VBOX PerformanceBox GPS Datalogger as part of this group buy? I'm tempted, but a bit hung up on the $30 shipping. Apparently half of the shipping charge is to get VBOX to ship them out.

    Okay, so add this to the mix. Anyone with the motivation, patience, and know how to defeat a decent lock will not think twice about breaking the window on your car and opening the hatch to liberate your bike from your car.

    They can do it either way. You send yours and wait, or they send you trim and then you send back your original trim and get the "core" charge refunded. Matt seemed to think it is. I'm not what I would classify as "sure".

    It's about what I expected based on what I was told when I ordered. Now I just need to hope that Forgestar will make some progress in the next 2 months. I also need to get my order in with Matt at oCarbon.com in the next few weeks. He told me lead time on a set of silver "carbon fiber"...

    Good luck with that. They'll simply become a non-American company if you try to put the screws to them. So, if you want to drive companies out of the US and lose jobs that's a great strategy.

    Wait, you mean companies will act in a way that maximizes their profits!?!?!? I'm shocked! If California or the US wants Apple's (or any other company's) tax revenues they can lower their tax rates to more reasonable levels.

    Dare to dream... I'd love to be able to get a 6MT Avant. If it existed and was sold in the US I'd probably stick with the S4 Avant (mostly for cost) though the twin turbo V8 S6 would be sweet. The turn signals in the headlights of the S6 are awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4mOxxrM7Ug
