    Suggestions for a new build been about 6 years...

    Thanks for the feedback. I just did some research and I think either mATX or mITX would be fine and smaller than what I currently have. I'm not interested in a laptop. These look really cool! The VivoPC seems a bit less powerful than I wanted, but the Brix is more capable. The...

    Suggestions for a new build been about 6 years...

    I've been out of the computer market for a while, so I'm pretty rusty. My current machine was built back in early 2008 and it's a full-size desktop with: Core2Duo E8400 4GB RAM GT9600 etc I'm looking to upgrade to a newer computer, and ideally I'd want something: - Smaller - Some...

    Help with extracting time information from GPS

    I was able to get the ntpd <-> gps link working last night with some help from a gpsd mailing list. I had to compile ntpd from scratch so it would include the SHM (shared memory) driver to access the GPSD time. The issue I'm seeing now is that the GPS reported time is ~24 seconds ahead of...

    Help with extracting time information from GPS

    It should be the right IP. GPSD makes that information available to that address, according to a few different websites such as: http://www.lammertbies.nl/comm/info/GPS-time.html

    Help with extracting time information from GPS

    Hi, I just purchased a USB GPS device looking to extract time information from GPSD and pass it to NTPD to get an accurate system clock. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I believe the GPS is working because I can run xgps and see the satellites/time info/location/etc. However I can't quite...

    Worth visiting NYC in February?

    I'm going on a trip which leaves from JFK at the beginning of February, but I have to schedule a connecting flight to JFK airport first. I've never been to NYC before, is it worth visiting for a few days even if I'm going to freeze my ass off? Any recommendations on things to check out/see at...

    Flushing the brake fluid?

    I did put a block behind the brake pedal so it couldnt go all the way to the floor.

    Flushing the brake fluid?

    I didn't get air in the line, but it did seem like there were bubbles of air coming out of the line (for the one brake pump we got in). That could explain why my brakes have always felt mushy.

    Flushing the brake fluid?

    I only bled a very little bit, so the resevoir was still practically at max. I know I didn't complete the job, since the pedal wouldnt come back up, I just decided to hold off for another day (possibly the same day when I attempt to replace my pads and rotors).

    Flushing the brake fluid?

    My car (04 Accord, manual trans), needed some maintenance so I decided to give it a shot myself yesterday. This was my first time working on a car so I expected some issues to popup. I changed the transmission fluid, rotated the tires, and was going to try and flush the brake fluid. First...

    Maintenance for 2004 Accord

    I've got a manual 4-cylinder 2004 Accord with almost 30k miles. It's been hard to follow the service manual since I hit the year markers long before I hit the mile markers. All I've really done up to this point are oil changes and tire rotations. I'm going to replace the air/cabin air filters...

    Recommendations for trip plans? England, France, Spain

    Im flying into London with a friend and visiting France and Spain for 2.5 weeks. I'm pretty sure I want to visit Paris and Barcelona but don't really have a clue of what other cities to see or specifics of what to do yet. Any recommendations? This will be at the beginning of May... Thanks!
