    10th annual Folding@Home Holiday Season Race

    Thanks for all the work petrusroder? I'm currently folding on OCed i7-860 and 6950. Should I have any flags defined for either to maximize my PPD? Thanks!

    Moto cancels ICS for Atrix/Photon/Electrify

    You have no idea what you are talking about. Motorala publicly stated and documented on their website these phones were getting ICS in Q3, which was later pushed back to Q4. Proper drivers are still not available for ICS and JB. One of the main reasons I bought my Photon is b/c it was...

    ATOT: Pick my next bag of coffee

    The last 16 lbs of beans I've purchased have been from Red Bird. Black bird sounds like it's up your ally but Red Bird also makes a good cup (I use mine for espresso) http://redbirdcoffee.com/redbirdespresso.html

    What is the fascination with 12 point sockets???

    wrench perhaps but with a socket it's all in the ratchet. The only need I see for 12pt sockets is to help the companies selling kits pad their numbers :colbert:

    Sprint phones

    I currently have an EVO and was really looking forward for the LTE 4G until I started reading about how the phone is not fully unlocked to allow for full root capabilities. Unless this changes or some work arounds come out, I'll likely get whatever Samsung is announcing today or waiting for the...

    Always Getting Crappy SMP WUs on F@H; Could Something Be Wrong?

    I don't believe I would call it "fixed". I avg 10k ppd on one of those 800x units. on pretty much all other units except 6014 I'm approx 30k ppd.

    Always Getting Crappy SMP WUs on F@H; Could Something Be Wrong?

    I'm having the same issue and TBH it is discouraging. I was getting 25k+ PPD during most days in Dec then in early Jan I started getting a lot of these crap 80xx units and 6014 units which knocked an easy 10k+ PPD depending on how many I got throughout the day. I have an i7 @ 3.6-3.8 depending...

    iPad 2 (or even iPad 3) Android Alternative/Counterpart

    If you think you may want to get a future product and they won't give you a gift card, I'd get the iPad 2 if you don't have a strong preference. It will have the best resale value.

    Worth it to get FX 8120 / Bulldozer 8-core for DC?

    Peter, are you comparing it to an OCed 920? IF so, how fast?

    Block off unused vents?

    Some people in this thread look to need a fluid dynamic lesson but its already been a long day... I block off all my unused ports. I only buy cases anymore with dust filtration so I want to ensure any air entering my case gets filtered first.

    Purchased - FOCUS Titanium

    if you dont' mind me asking, what was your final price off the lot, not including the trade? IIRC when I was pricing out one with Titanium package, it was ~$28k not including fees but with a supplier discount.

    1/27 woot - 32gb touchpad

    Anything else I should look at besides a Focus hatch or 3 Skyactiv?

    That is unfortunate. Thanks for the heads up though. I'll definately keep that in mind when I start my search.

    Did you look at the new Imprezza hatch? I was very impressed with it at the auto show this year; great efficiency numbers.

    Sprint looks to rock your world

    We'll see how well they well they roll this out. With how they've failed with WiMAX deployment, my faith is not strong. I believe Vision to an excellent idea with the 3 spectrums running on each tower; my major concern is if the 800mhz spectrum will be too heavily relied upon. If it gets over...

    Google has lost all control of Android...

    I love my rooted phone but this is a terrible justification for Android for the gen. population. Most people don't want to waste the time learning and keep putting in time for updates. In fact, my phone is not a hobby of mine and I'm getting annoyed with putting time in it. I used it be...

    long time Sprint customer, and i want to give a shoutout

    If I would have been out of contract during that deal, I would have switched. I can't stand the terribly slow Sprint 3G service in my area and since I'm not in a huge market for them, I likely won't see any 4G coverage for another 1.5-2 years. I typ. use b/t 1.5 and 2GB per month mostly from...

    Trying to set up a budget car audio system

    Personally, I would be a little more spending on the sub. The higher the efficiency you sub is, the less your amp needs to do for the equiv. volumn. In my last car, I installed a system with similar goals to yours. I made the mistake of getting a cheap sub and very much regretted it...

    iPad Survives 100,000+ Foot Fall From Space

    TBH, I'm not that surprised. I wonder how long this whole process took. As the iPad ascends, the heat transfer coeff should start dropping. With the air getting less and less dense, convective heat transfer decrease and reaches essentially 0 once in "space". The heat transfer due to...

    Is there a point to iPad apps for Econmist/WSJ/etc.?

    I like the economist app (when its not buggy). I like the interface better. I haven't yet used the audio feature since I always download them from the website and load them to my phone for the drive to/from work.

    Good headphones for games / movies

    +1. Listening to these now and they are great. I also enjoy the Sony V6's. They are great for when I want to block out sound. Ugh, I hated these. Zero bass at all which detracts from the game for me. I felt the SR850s and DT880s have 90%+ of the soundstage with a much better experience.

    I have an i7 OCed to 3.8 and a 6950 at 900mhz core. My PPD is MUCH better with just the SMP client as opposed to both SMP + GPU on v7.

    automotive sound deadening spray?

    Not sure what you're trying to show here. Someone used expanding foam or glue to seal an MFD baffel to the car.

    automotive sound deadening spray?

    Spray "deader" is garbage. When using contrained layer dampener, you do not need to do 100% coverage. I typ. do 25%-50% on my cases and some kitchen equipment with excellent results (espresso grinder and machine). SDS has excellent prices and service. This is the only deadener I'll use...

    Consumer Reports: AT&T still ranks as worst US carrier

    To be honest, with ATT&T supposed network upgrades and Spring sucking at theirs, I expended Sprint to slip into last. My speeds have gotten awful the last year. If they don't get fixed by the time my contract is up, its back to big red for me and the fam.
