    They must be small planes if no airport - just a landing strip? Anybody heard of Anker? They have several models, but the company is unknown to me.

    But that energy should be absorbed by the potato or whatever, not emitted into the general vicinity.

    500-600mW does not seem like a lot of power for a transmitter on an absolute scale, though I guess it is good for WiFi. Back in the 70s we had 50W amateur radios, but of course the frequency was much lower.

    What do you use to charge USB devices in the field? It seems like there are umpteen brands and models with varying claims. I was thinking that 20 Wh should be a good compromise of size/weight/capacity. Thanks.

    H77 chipset

    You really think that only 10% of the Extreme CPUs are over locked? I find that hard to believe. I can see that 2500Ks or 2600Ks, etc. are less often overclocked. Sometimes they are on sale for less than the non-K version.

    I have the 8.9¤€ Galactic tablet you recommended. I'll try to acres the wireless with a computer when I am in town. Maybe there is a way to disable the 2.4G.

    I can't seem to do that with the tablet. It only sees the name, which is the same. Maybe a Galaxic tablet doesn't like 5.0?

    I think they appeal to people who like to update firmware all the time and obtain technical help in the forums. They used to be called beta testers. Now they are called consumers.

    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    Absolutely! There is reason to use calibrated instruments. Human perception is notoriously poor at converting analog data to numerical values. They are good at making relative comparisons when there are very few variables being compared. For example if the lighting pattern is exactly the...

    I may get a new ball or some other personal aid. However, the oddity was that somehow my statement was truncated. :( I question whether there will be normal 4TB Hibachi drives and if they will be worth a damn. I don't want to pay 2x for TLER or whatever makes the Ultrastars RAID happy unless...

    Are they calibrated to the same level? Some displays are more effecient, but some cheat on evenness of illumination (delta E).

    question How do people buy music these days?

    I occasionally get some CDs from family members for Christmas or birthdays, and once in a while buy CDs in stores. I guess that makes me pretty lame by today's downloading standards.

    Ivy Bridge details

    I don't see much point in the Xeons for my purposes. Of course eight cores would be a nice, small benefit over six, but I'm aiming for close to 4.5GHz O/C on the replacement 22mm Extreme whenever that is. Too many processes of apps are single-threaded and also CPU bound to accept a slow CPU...

    Assuming the cost is about two grand for CPU/board/RAM alone, it should achieve the typical square root of two speed improvement. Less than that is of dubious value.

    Ivy Bridge details

    I keep the old CPU/mainbroad/RAM and move it to the older computer and so on. The nine HDs and two SSDs stay with the case. The upgrade cycle for drives is not on any particular cycle, but rather on the as needed basis. I just replaced the case and modified it last year, so that should last at...

    Thanks . So if I understand correctly, Intel is slowing down lately and the next CPU for me would be the 22nm Haskell. It would be nice to have integrated video, but perhaps there is no room with all the cores. 2013 is so far out I cannot plan that yet.

    OKAY, you know what I mean - 6 cores. :) Usually I build new systems or upgrade in Q4, and I'm trying to figure out what the options are. I would assume there is or will soon be a major improvement over 2-year old technology, but sometimes there are periods of stagnation and it is not...

    So far it seems to be OK. I cancelled by wait list for the 5D III and also the preorder for the D800E. I cannot do much hoisting the camera bag or hiking any distance for a while due to injury. So until 2013 I'm holding out for more MP along with a decent FPS. I realize it is unlikely that...
