What a horrible experience! My wife watches the show all the time, and I told her I’d be pissed if I was conned into a genuine emotional reaction to something, then told it was all an act. That said, in retrospect, much of what they do is a good public service, and I guess I’d feel better about (for example) getting…
Great idea! Except for the damning weight gain due to tossing the stressed skin structure of the airplane out the window and having to get stiffness back through much heavier means. Oh, and a pressurized cabin that is not circular in cross section. Oh, and multiple pressurized cabins (cockpit, luggage compartment, and…
I have this one. It’s tiny, so it’s tough to angle into a USB port sometimes, but being so small and having a relatively sturdy loop on the back end of it, it should remain ready for use until I take it off of the key ring and lose it! There is a bit of a speed trade-off with respect to some of the other ones, but…
How about stereo audio recording? It seems like an obvious one for the "list of specs" battle that has left manufacturers wondering what they should include next. 1080p video accompanied by monaural audio is a joke, as stereo can add a lot of realism when played back on a device with real speakers.
Don't forget the Nitro Yellow Green Dodge Neon. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it color... I happen to love it. ;-)
heh... I thought they tagged the post with "Car-b-que" because they wanted me to read it. Looks like they had other reasons. ;-)
No kidding! It's not like N is cutting edge technology... I have a $30 Fry's-branded router that's almost a year old that is 300 Mbps. Comparing wired to wireless-G is stupid.
It's the column of numbers to the right side of the left-most column of numbers...
This is stupid for two reasons that I can think of:
I use Dropbox to collaborate with a couple other mechanical design engineers on a SolidWorks project. It's really annoying that you don't get a notification when you save your file locally and on the server it ends up getting renamed from "Assembly.sldasm" to "Assembly (jimbob jones's conflicted copy…
I'm gonna have to play with that... I use BiteSMS too, and really like it. Main reason I got it? The delay before send feature. I accidentally texted a message to one of my clients that was meant for my wife, and it was embarrassing to say the least. Now all of my texts get a 3 second delay before sending. ;-) …
Is it just me, or are people forgetting how to reply to comments? There are way too many comments posted by themselves rather than as replies to others' comments, when they're clearly replying to something that someone else posted...
That would rock... ;-)
Many of us (me) just renewed our contracts with the iPhone 4 last year, and they'll likely let me get one at a discount again (especially to keep me from jumping ship) I'll have an ETF to pay if I leave in June, and I don't have enough problems to justify paying an extra $300.
I built a Windows Home Server a few years back, and it has really come in handy for protecting my data. I keep my photos on the Home Server (stored redundantly on two drives), which I back up to a USB hard drive periodically. The Home Server also backs up all of the computers in my house nightly, seamlessly.
@uglyMood1: I was going to point this out if nobody else did. Thanks!
@MSgtSimon: I third this. I had to create a new account, and now my comments can't even be seen yet! Can I please get APPROVED? That'd be sweet. Thanks.
