If I heard it on the news I would wonder how the terrorists were going to drive to Cuba.-MilesAhead (April 29, 2015, 02:25 PM)
^^ Interesting. I have to agree that electronic spark advance has to be more accurate than spring, vacuum and flywheel schemes. However, once you can no longer see how something works with the naked eye(even if it must be disassembled to do so) then by definition it starts working in invisible ways. At that point not everything being done can be detected. The operator is no longer in control.-MilesAhead (April 27, 2015, 07:28 AM)
Interestingly, I did not find any reference on the internet stating that UTP cables would only work up to 100 Mbps.-phitsc (April 27, 2015, 02:28 PM)
I'd like to do more, but my ankles and knees don't like it much... but I think I need to work at it more before i hit 60 later this year.-x16wda (April 26, 2015, 09:02 AM)
On the subject of automotive oddities, though, are the old 6V positive ground electrical systems.-Vurbal (April 24, 2015, 07:52 AM)
Non-clumping kitty-litter will help absorb these fluid puddles and it's cheaper that oil-dry.-crabby3 (April 23, 2015, 05:34 PM)
I've been doing that one for years (sand works ok in a pinch too).

Be aware that having a (1) directory with ~80,000 files in it will bring Explorer, and other tools looking at that file-list, to a crawl-Ath (April 23, 2015, 01:59 AM)
more alarming than silly

Everyone has had that fantasy more than just a few times.-Renegade (April 23, 2015, 09:48 AM)
Aha, this is about altering the control computer's software, not actual car repair. You almost had me there...-Edvard (April 23, 2015, 01:20 AM)
Well, the man did say "... copying the software is at issue after all, not wholly replacing it, ...".-Edvard (April 23, 2015, 01:20 AM)
Then you can get away with it.. usually.-MilesAhead (April 23, 2015, 05:43 AM)
In other words, they're using the DMCA in exactly the way it was intended.-Vurbal (April 22, 2015, 11:54 AM)
Terrorists also use water, air, and brains. I propose we outlaw them all!

I don't care if the traffic to Google ads are encrypted. I want all traffic to/from Google ads blocked, encrypted or not.-Deozaan (April 22, 2015, 01:08 AM)
The changes are designed to ensure that users are safe from ad-borne security threats when watching videos, opening mobile apps or running any applications, the two Google executives blogged. Moving ads to HTTPS ensures that users will automatically have an encrypted connection with the ad servers, just like they have an encrypted connection when using Google Search and Gmail and YouTube.-The Article
Server side caching on a server that doesn't even seem to have a control panel? You probably need to use phpinfo uploaded via FTP to get some php and other version info. Something like wwww.domain.com/cpanel or serverip:8443 doesn't exist?-rgdot (April 11, 2015, 12:06 PM)
I use Acrobat 9 Pro, and it's very fast. Small files open instantly, and opening larger ones only takes a few seconds. (3 seconds with a 150 MB file I just checked.) However, it's rather expensive. It does include all the bells & whistles, but most are rarely needed, similar to how few of MS Office features are ever needed.
Just throwing that out there as nobody had mentioned it, and it is very fast.-Renegade (April 10, 2015, 03:32 AM)
