    Software Architecture References?

    Do you guys have any recommendations for books which teach how to design software at a high level? I'm okay at the mechanics of coding, but I've noticed that I make a lot of mistakes when designing a system, especially one where the requirements constantly evolve (research code). I do learn...

    Battery/Alternator Issue 01 Integra

    Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my car. Recently, my 01 Integra had trouble starting. I checked the battery (it was 7 or 8 years old at that point), and it was sitting at ~11.5V, so I figured that was the issue and replaced it. This was a couple months ago. I've noticed the same issues...

    [Cooling Down, Now $600] Dell P2715Q - $525 Free Shipping Dell.com

    Not sure how hot this is, but I haven't seen it lower since around black friday. I went ahead and ordered one to try it out. Might be worth it to wait with new 120/144Hz 1440p IPS and 4K IPS G-Sync monitors coming out in the next couple of months, but if you want a decent 4K display now, this...

    Damage to door -- what are repair costs like?

    Hey guys, My neighbor accidentally backed up into my car (an 01 acura integra), creating a rather large sized dent. Actually it's more than a dent, the door is caved-in pretty bad near the handle, and I couldn't even open it from the outside. Miraculously the glass is still intact, but the...

    Looks like prices are finally dropping on AMD cards in general. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127769 Promo code REMMUS79 knocks it down to 178 and change. Don't know if prices will spike again or not, it might be better to wait until the end of the month unless you need...

    [DEAD] HIS R9 270 $185 at Amazon (0 in stock)

    Don't know how good of a deal this is, but it's the lowest I've seen for an R9 for a while. Seems like a nice enough card, and compared to the inflated prices this looks good to me. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Dead, that was fast! There is only 1 left in stock, I...

    spring compressors

    I'm thinking about changing the struts (and de-ricing) my 01 Integra, and I have to take off the coil springs. However, I'm concerned about using spring compressors -- so much stored energy! Anyone have any tips for doing this safely? I suppose taking it to the shop would work, but I'm trying...

    Newegg LIAN LI PC-A05FNB - $40 AR/FS

    Don't know how good this one actually is (I haven't been looking for cases), but it caught my eye in the newegg email. Seems like a pretty good deal though. Rebate is $20, so it's $60 if you don't fill out the form. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811112331 Use promo code...

    Radio stolen, any prevention tips?

    My radio got stolen from my car late at night a couple days ago while parked right outside my house. They messed up some wiring to turn off the alarm and the car wouldn't start until I repaired it, but otherwise everything else was fine -- no broken windows at least. It wasn't a very nice...

    Leave MT car in gear when braking, or go to neutral?

    Hi Guys, At the risk of sounding more than a little retarded, I was wondering how you slow down with a manual transmission? I've been driving my little 5 speed integra around for a couple of months now, but I've just been teaching myself (my first and only other car was an auto). I thought...

    clicking sound on driver's side when turning

    Hey guys, I just bought a used 2001 Integra, but it has a problem where I hear a clicking noise when I turn (and yes I knew about this issue before I bought it -- it's supposed to be a beater and I got a good deal on it). I thought it was the CV axle, but the previous owner told me he had it...

    Multiple Win 7 installs on the same computer w/ same key?

    Hi all, I'm just wondering, is it possible to have multiple copies of Win 7 on your machine with the same key? The hardware would be identical (except for the drive!), and I would only have one copy running at any given time. Here is what I am planning: I have a couple of spare drives and a...

    $4 off Amazon mp3 album ($7.99 or more)

    It's free, but the album has to be $7.99 or more. I found this in the Tucson amazon local section, but I'd imagine it is in other cities too. Useful if there is already something you're planning on getting. https://local.amazon.com/tucson/B008AX7SKE EDIT: You can't use this with the MP3S4ALL...

    Hey guys, I've been running for a while now, but I've decided to join a running club and they want me on their mile relay team. The problem is, it's in <2 weeks, and I'm not even close to racing condition. Anyone have any tips for a lightning fast return to form? I don't expect a PR, but...

    [Dead] EVGA GTX 680 in stock at Tiger Direct (518 shipped)

    Hey guys, I don't think this counts as a "hot" deal since the price is actually a bit higher than at newegg, but I noticed Tiger Direct actually has the GTX 680 for 510. Price shipped (for me at least) is 518, and it says it'd be delivered by the end of the week. I've been looking for one, but...

    Shortest "Reasonable" Videocard?

    Hey guys, I wasn't really sure where to search for this (aside for looking at specs for tons of videocards online individually... which would take forever), so I figured collectively we would know what the shortest length "reasonable" videocard was. Before anyone asks, I'm building a...
