    Internet Connection Woes (v. speaking Klingon)

    I'm confused. You were speaking Klingon or you were speaking to a Klingon? If you were speaking Klingon to a Klingon, they would understand. Your site is down though.

    I think it is embedded in the video, not like the closed captioning that can be turned off. :(

    What is up with the TV shows where there us a number sign and then a word or two every few minutes? I suppose there is some just awesome secret sh*t on the I pad, but it is really ANNOYING if one simply wants to watch the program. :(

    Old i7 vs. New i5 (or Xeon E3)

    It has been 3.5 years so there are a range of CPUs. I wonder how long intel will use the same name.

    Grippy pad!

    I have not tried that one, but a different one some time ago was only usable on smooth roads. Would the gripper work if I were driving the 4x4 on a rough dirt road?

    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    In the old days we used the Minolta color meters. I think they ceased production years ago when digital cameras became popular. I'm sure you can buy some decent meters from the scintifuc supply shops.

    In the early 70s I thought of having almost that same phrase on my headstone. Do you remember where you were when Rod Serling died? I do, like it was yesterday. Weird.

    $207M in three days? I don't understand the appeal at all to an adult. Am I stuck in the Twilight Zone?

    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    4100K appears fairly neutral in an office. Sunrises are 3500 or even lower sometimes. One often overlooked issue is that the perception of neutrality varies with intensity. In low light such as indoors a lower color temperature looks cooler than at high brightness levels such as outdoors...

    If I were the carrier I'd want the devices locked also. I suppose the question is what harm may be inflicted on the carrier by the hacked devices.

    Samsung Galaxy Note and pondering future device trends

    I fail to see the connection between the new boomloader and decrease in profits. I thought that many of the smartphone companies were losing business to Samsung.

    Are you surprised? It is consistent with the whole arrested development personality. I can't relate to that mentality either. Then again, it may be some kind of horse fetish.

    question Travelstar 5K1000

    No, the warranty means nothing. I destroy defective drives rather than returning them for an RMA. I'm just wondering if the Hitachi is a better drive than the WD, which is rather noisy (especially seeking) for a 5400RPM drive. I have three of the Samsung 1TB drives because they were first...

    question Travelstar 5K1000

    Does anyone use the Hitachi 5K1000 1TB notebook drive? I'm trying to decide whether to get some of those vs. more of the WD10JPVT.

    DVI KVM switches, any progress?

    So if you have three computers then the KVM would cycle through those three and ignore the unused fourth port?

    Yeah, that often happens. I meant that the oxidation state of the chromium in the plating solution is rather irrelevant to the description since plating on heat sinks fins is a basic commercial process. That part especially and the tone of the article in general are pretentious.

    High-end rackmount question

    Why wouldn't it fit? The board is 6.855" x 16.7" and the enclosure fits 6.8" x 16.64". The difference is probably unit conversion/rounding.

    I have no idea what that is. I did have an 8-track deck once upon a time. It probably sounded better than 8-bit audio. :)

    I have one of those old Flukes from about 20 years ago when I was designing power supplies, etc. It was about $400 IIRC. Im not sure if it is still accurate. Are they still calibratable?

    It was Gale before Peel for me. The episodes with Honor Blackman were better written. She looked like she was serious business, albeit in those awesome kinky boots. Riggs had a fresh look that was popular with the males I suppose, and the color episodes may have been better for reruns. Some...
