My dog chewed through both my micro usb cables and my phone is dead. I've got my Triton charger ready to charge the battery directly but I'm not sure what the max safe current is. Lithium Polymers are happy at 1 times the capacity and safe at 2 time but I'm sure about the Ions. Any input...
At times I need to log into customer's pc's using Bomgar to get to their phone system's command line via the local network. A few of the tech savvy ones have asked me for the "god" password I use to access the system at this level. They usually already administrate the system on their own. I...

OP says it lasted for two days. Has anyone heard of this or know the cause? Google only results in this video.
Regardless.... pretty freakin cool!
I wish they'd spent that two days finding a good camera and tripod.
I finally managed to get to sleep last night around 4. My sweet, long awaited slumber was quickly interrupted an hour later when I woke up wide eyed and heart racing. You see there was this bear... a very large bear. It was faster than anything I've ever seen. It had long, ape like arms you...
When you have multiple drives, does windows turn them all off when the hard drive sleep timer goes off or does it turn them each individually after each drive is inactive for the specified time?
This was one of my favorite little features of Ubuntu. As you are going back and forth between windows, whichever one you are hovering over, it becomes active. This way, you don't have to click on it before you can scroll. It's particularly helpful when you have another smaller window that...
They follow up Warehouse 13 with wrestling. Seriously folks.. WTF? It's certainly Fi but definitely not Sci. Who's lame brained idea was this? What business does it have on this channel. I really want to know. They may have been doing this for a while but I just got cable again a little...
I really didn't know there was a major Christian presence in China. Is this something new or have I just been ignorant to the fact?
"Male of Chinese Descent" builds full size Noah's Ark
edit: Regardless, I really want to go inside and check it out from an engineering perspective. Anyone...
I'm trying to source this aluminum track stuff but I have no idea what it's called or where to get it. I can't even describe it christ's sake.
Here's a cnc built out of it. It's the aluminum track/structure material and bracket components I'm looking for...
I need to get a backup solution for a customer. One coworker is pushing to just use USB external drives. My problem there is server 2008 doesn't play nice with those drives to perform a full OS and Data backup (or so I've heard).
The servers I'm building have HP's hot swap sas drives. I...
The asshats at the Monster Cable law team are at it again. This time they're suing Monster Mini-Golf trademark infringement. Are they freakin serious!?!? I was thinking Monster energy drink was next but a comment on engadget says they already went after them. I guess the monster in your...
I've got this small glass bottle, about 2-3 oz, of sand and seawater that I think is mostly free of visible creatures. I want to preserver it the best I can without it turning all yellow, green or who knows what color. I was thinking of just adding a drop or two of bleach before capping and...
Here's the situation. A customer of my company's PRI or T1 goes down. No calls in or out. I call the telco to report it and low and behold, they say their circuit is clean and it must be the PBX. Reluctantly, I or one of the other techs head out to the site. First we login and see the...
Took my new (to me) Jeep out this weekend for a test run to make sure all is well before the factory warranty expires. On a few of the climbs, the oil pressure fell to zero for a few seconds, 5 at the most, until I got her over the top and level again. The engine barely got above idle speed...
How can I see whats using up all the memory. I'm running an HP tablet with 2 gigs on Vista. Task mangler shows only about 15mb free yet all the programs in the processes tab don't come close to 2 gigs total. Where are all the free megs. Knowing vista, I'm sure it's using it somewhere and...
Just back from kohls after re-stocking my sock supply. I'm sitting here looking at three bags of socks all with resealable tops. Two of the brands have gone so far as to advertise that the bag is resealable. WTF? Why would that be important? Am I missing some fundamental of sock ownership here?
First off, I'm a bit out of my league on this one. I need to shoot an HD cam signal from a central point to about 15 LCD's, max hitting about 300'. I need to hit at least 720p, 1080i would be ideal. What can I do?
I doubt i'm the first one to think of this word.
That doesn't change the fact that I've been chuckling to myself for the last hour.
edit: Apparently I am. Woot!!!

I will use the word in a sentence...
I can't figure out a way to use that in a sentence on banning you forever...
It's one thing I miss the most about my old '80 Ford truck. It had one of those indestructible button switches to flip high beams on and off. So much more pleasure was brought by reaching over there and stomping that sucker at the asshat coming over the hill pointing an artificial sun at your...
I'm into week 3 of the 5X5 lifting routine and have pulled something in my back. It's not the normal pulled muscle from lifting with my back instead of my knees, but up between my shoulders. It's nothing real serious (I think), just mildly painful and slow to heal. So the question as stated...
I just a micro sd memory card for my krzr and want to put some tunes on it. First off, is there any phone tools software out there that will run under Linux? Second, is there any special way or format that the music are store on the card. Can I just put the mp3's straight on the card and the...
A long time ago I came across either a video or a series of pictures that show a seemingly normal backhoe climbing onto open top rail car to unload it. It then proceeded to inch it's way down the line of cars unloading them with the rear scoop.
I'm sure it was modified is some way to...
random thought while returning the beer to the gods.
I realized that I usually quest for the B-52 except for the early morning... that's the time to lean on the wall and almost fall asleep again.
edit: fixed
is that too much to fuckin ask? just once. with all the curvy perfectly placed meat, green un-wilted lettuce, and glossy mouth-watering sauce. I've had enough of going to schnubway and gizznos craving this sandwich masterpiece only to be handed a soggy piece of bread with filling that looks...
Everything google's getting me are sites that want to call me and harass me and send me shit. I just want the damn prices. The one that simply gives me models to choose from, sizes, and prices just might be blessed enough to get my business.

can anyone help? I'm considering...
There's a folder in the home directory ".name" that doesn't show up. I have to type the name in the location bar to get to it. I'm assuming it means hidden but is that all it indicates.
Ultimately, I want to get it unhidden. Just wondering the period has anything to do with it before I get...
So thats the issue. I've got a lawn tractor with a Briggs 14 hp ohv engine. It starts and runs fine with plenty of power but only if the choke is about halfway out all the time. I've changed the plug and installed new air filter. I pulled the carb, completely dissassembled it, and soaked it...

They are basically saying that if I buy a ford and take a picture of it, they own the rights to that picture. This is absolutely ridiculous! They are really shooting themselves in the foot here.
Not quite the same douche I grew to hate. He got rid of the business up front, party in the back haircut. I'm shamed to say, he's not doing too bad a job of hosting and narrating.
The show itself isn't too bad either. It gives a lot of good history on the lives of those living off the...
Is there any way to control the EQ for each of the 5.1 channels on my PC? Most of what I listen to comes from my computer between movies and music, then goes thru my denon on it's 6 ch input. So the denon's basically just an amp at this point. I've found that sound is way off for my speakers...
The board's got an 8 pin power connector that I've never seen before. The website only says the board may become unstabe without it connected. Is this true? Has anyone used the board without it?
I used to have XP media center. I upgraded to Vista which I actually do like but it's just too slow on the rig. I want to go back to XP and save vista for the next machine I build. Short of format and reinstall, is there an easy way to downgrade i.e. pop the xp disk in and install. Obviously...
As soon as I got HD from direct tv, I noticed the volume on all HD channels is slightly lower that the SD channels. I noticed it on a different service as well. So what's the reason?
