The software to tune my aftermarket fuel injection setup is around 8-10 years old and still uses a serial port for communication. It's a pain in the ass since the serial to usb converters are finicky, and I keep an old Win XP laptop alive since it's a pain to make it run in anything newer.

That's actually generally a negative on a road trip, since you'll be surrounded on the highway by cars going exactly the speed limit and not a single MPH more. It used to happen all the time with my brother's white Caprice 9c1.

You missed a huge one - retard.

I saw these on reddit yesterday and I went out and bought 4 sets of them for my house today at lunch (at Lowes). I have a ceiling fan in both bedrooms, the living room and the dining room. I've had these ceiling fans in my house for years - 2 of the 4 I installed a full 10 years ago, and yet I frequently grab the…

I'm a professional web developer and I've been at 4 jobs in 13 years. Even though I think my resume is pretty good and I'm an appealing candidate, despite many jobs applied for in my few job searches, 3 of the 4 opportunities came through people I knew directly.

I built an HTPC last year running Windows 7 with Media Center. I'm using a Ceton Infinitv 4 internal card. I used all budget parts so the entire system was about $250 + the other $200 for the Ceton card. I'm pretty pleased with it overall, especially since I set it up to auto-reboot on a scheduled task in the…

I used to embrace this idea on my summer vacations years ago for two reasons - 1.I'm a web developer and I spend too much time staring at a glowing lcd screen and 2.Internet was less accessible at the small beach communities I usually vacation at.

I saw a framed picture I really liked in a restaurant while on vacation last year. I took a picture with my phone and figured out who took the picture and where to buy it.

I know I'm totally late to this topic, but I worked in a business casual environment for years, and as a guy I hated hot summers, because as a man I had to wear a polo or button down shirt, khakis or dress pants and dress shoes, sweating my ass off in 90 or 100 degree weather.

A few notes on the home equity piece....

My 80's camaro didn't have much more room between the rear and back seats, but the rear center console is a terrible idea, because that's where your "inner" knee would need to go, and there would need to be some space outside of the seat for your "outer" knee to fall into.

It's interesting, because while the trend seems to be that it's more acceptable over time (barring this Yahoo thing), I did the most working from home in the 2004 - 2009 range, and I've had the option virtually totally unavailable to me since.

you might be surprised if you looked hard enough - I live in a smaller area in pennsylvania and we have a couple of coworking spaces. and if it doesn't exist now, but you have a bunch of people at the local coffee shops, why not talk to them and see about starting one up?

To clarify, it's not entitlement to just work in a coffee shop - it's entitlement to break some of the rules you mentioned, like loud conversation or phone calls. And it's entitlement to camp out in a full coffee shop where people are circling looking for seating IMO. If the seat would be empty if you weren't in it,…

I never understood this one. Going to a Coffee shop to work all day to me is kind of like going to McDonalds to lay your parts out on a table and rebuild your transmission - it's a total misuse of the space. I tend to avoid Starbucks and Panera during the day because of this, but there have been plenty of times…

I have a small toolbox with a small socket kit, screwdrivers and bits, a tape measure (invaluable), a knife, pliers, a leatherman tool, a small hammer, work gloves, tie down straps. I also carry a snow brush, jumper cables, a pile of napkins, multiple pairs of sunglasses, a couple of charge cables and a power…

I used to stream spotify and siriusXM over 3g when driving in my cars or sometimes at work and I averaged about 1 GB per month. I virtually never do that anymore, so I can't imagine I use more than 300 MB a month.

As a crew cab pickup owner (2011 Silverado) and a corvette owner (2002), there frankly is a lot more exciting content on the Atlas. The corvette has followed essentially the same formula since 1997 - ls engine, rear transmission, excellent handling, etc. While the interior is shit and the build quality is a bit…

I love seeing someone do up a 66-67 GS. It's a rare car - you almost never see them at cruises and car shows. And there are fewer yet that are modded and pro-toured. Most are just stock.

It probably will just be the "new iPhone" in the end, but I really don't agree that it's a marketing progression.
