I have 8' 11.5" from the concrete floor to the bottom of the floor joists overhead (I paid handsomely to get that extra 16" of depth in the basement). There's no way to make 8' long studs work and there's no 2x4's available that are between 8' and 10' so I'm going to get to cut off ~18" from...

This is for my basement HT. The deck is on hold for now. Right now I'm leaning more toward a patio made from brick pavers or stamped concrete instead of a wood deck, but either way, that's on hold for now.

Two Sandforce based drives?

Ditto, I use the RGB values to make sure the color is neutral.

Here's the stash of wood in the basement. :o

Poor color balance? :owneddnce:

I spent my day making wood buying trips to Lowes. I made 3 trips in the minivan with my Dad. We bought 8, 8' 2x4's, 162 10' 2x4's, 17 12' 2x4's, 4 12' 2x6's, 8 12' PT 2x4's, & 2 12' PT 2x6's. That's why I wasn't around.

I should have known you were udaman.

You pulled a permit for all this work right? :p

I think that all depends what you want to do with it.

There is a measurable difference, but even a PCI GigE card will be faster than a 100Mbit one.

Supposed to be 92F here today and 95F tomorrow. :(

You don't need a receipt to warranty a drive. The warranty is done by manufacturing date.

well, you shouldn't put anything in your checked baggage that you don't want stolen. A laptop is certainly a good example of this. If I recall correctly the airline is only liable for up to $3300 for domestic US flights. International flights are $640 at the rate of $9.07 per lb. On top of...

Yeah, but the CG243W is almost $2500, so I stand by my earlier comment of it not being affordable.

Well, there are some additional restrictions. Lithium metal batteries are non-rechargeable batteries you discard once they are depleted. Larger lithium metal batteries contain over 2 grams of lithium, and are forbidden. Most consumer lithium metal batteries such as AA, AAA, and CR-123A sizes...

I think it has to do with the fact that he said something really obvious like Ralph Wiggum would say.

:skepo: I bet that's a highly affordable monitor. :erm:

Here are all the rules and regulations on Lithium and Lithium Ion batteries and air travel. You're not allowed to carry spare Lithium or Lithium Ion batteries in checked luggage, but you can put devices with Lithium or Lithium Ion batteries installed in them in your checked luggage as long as...

It's spelled Ralph Wiggum and this should explain it.

Hah... Man up... :hurl:

Say what? http://am.renesas.com/prod/displays/

Don't get me wrong. I'm already actively looking for another job. I figure it will take a while though, so in the mean time I'm gonna start on my Home Theater and then Deck.

You don't say... :skepo: :rofl:

You just can't make this stuff up! :rotfl:

That's because you don't have Java installed.

It worked for me also.

With the battery configuration I'm using (4 x 26650 LiMN), the 3 LED version (based on calculations) would be somewhere between 90-120 minutes.

I haven't used a version of Nero newer than v6. I think I have at least one Lightscribe capable burner in my PCs but I haven't ever burned one.

Well, the best available luminance bin of SSC P7 LED's are rated for 800-900lm each at 2.8A. That's what I'm using in my triple P7 light. So, a triple P7 will be 2400-2700 emitter lumens at 2.8A. That's closing in on 35W HID territory (2800-3200 lm) though much more broadly distributed...

Yeah, it doesn't say there. As always, the moral of the story is to take everything HR says with a grain of salt.

It's a good start. I like this flashlight myself. I'm in the process of building one. :D

FWIW, the HR person said that Obama makes them pay it.

Health care is good through the end of July on the current plan. The company will pay for the first 3 months of COBRA. After that they pay 65% of COBRA. My wife is checking to see what the insurance situation is at her job. They're looking to start offering it, but currently don't. She's...

Yeah, max payout is currently $387 a week in Michigan. Booyah!

Rest and relax and enjoy a little time on Funemployment. :D

I worked for a fairly large semiconductor company as a Field Applications Engineer. I was in the Automotive office supporting microcontroller, graphics, & 1394 products with 8 other people. Well, they've been in the process of circling the drain for years with their high prices, obsolete...

I don't think there is any connection. You need to flip the disc over, put it back in the drive and use some lightscribe aware software to label it.

To do what? IMGburn works great for .ISO and similar files. It's free.

Yeah, if you bought the company I worked for you'd be both an idiot and really, really, really wealthy.

In a pretty unexpected move I've now joined the ranks of the unemployed :(

Blame the lefties who control Academia.

I believe it's S400, not S800.

Multiple CAT6 runs to every room. I'd go with at least 4 to any room where you expect to have a TV / Cable / PC. I'd also run an RG-6 or two anywhere you think you might want to put a TV later.

Beware of making a house too airtight. CO isn't something you want to mess with.

My recollection from what I saw on Build it Bigger is that the glass edge of the pool is not the quite the edge of the building. IE: it's not straight down to the ground once you're over that the edge of the pool. I'm pretty sure this is a picture of the pool area from the other side.

Permit? Who bothers with those? ;) LED lighting isn't quite ready yet IMHO. There were quire a few name brand legitimate LED light bulbs for sale in Japan that had decent usable output on par with incandescent and CFL bulbs, but holy crap were they expensive. The Cree XM LED might mix things...

There was an episode of Build it Bigger about the skypark that spans the top of the three towers. It was pretty interesting. I'm not one for heights, so you wouldn't find me hanging out at the edge of that pool. :errr:

You still have to follow the building code. And, face it... The vast majority of LED bulbs are going to end up being 120V E26 specials since that's what everyone already has sockets for in their house.

People built houses without any insulation? That's crazy! :owneddnce: Congrats BTW. :beer:
