Indeed, another nice build Birgir.

Uh, 2016 might have an interesting option... http://www.indycar.com/News/2015/05/5-21-INDYCAR-announces-Labor-Day-2016-event-in-Boston

I get weak/sprung at the sight of the RS5, but that's me and my inexplicable love of Audi.

So I've been tasked at work to put together a spec sheet for a mobile workstation (think gaming laptop, without games) and I'm looking for some advice/assistance. The general requirements are that it needs to be able to run damn near any software that we throw at it (CADD, REVIT, Solidworks, Photoshop, etc.), store a bunch of data, but not be so obnoxious that it can't be used in a conference room for presentations (i.e. loud or stupid looking). It only needs to be transportable so battery life isn't really a concern or heft/size. Budget is TBD and quite robust, for once. So far the likely candidates that I've come up with: 1. MSI GT80 Titan 2. Origin EON17-SLX 3. Alienware 17 (borderline) 4. Asus ROG G751JT I'd welcome some thoughts, opinions, etc. from the crowd.

Happy Birthday, Raffy!

Nope, just bone stock, bottom level stuff here.

I find the GTI to have a very decent sound system, but my expectations are pretty damn low.

When do you pick yours up, Jeff?

This.

Did you try a force restart, Jeff (hold sleep/wake + home for at least 10 seconds)?

Happy birthday!

Nicely played, Al.

Not sure if you're kidding or not but on the off chance that you haven't seen - http://mjolnir-audio.com/?page_id=73- I'll post it.

I think I ended up more agreeing with you, Dan, just not for the reason of going 4k anytime soon. Question for the 4k folks - are the internal scalers good enough lower def content looks good?

That only matters if he's planning to upgrade his TV in the near future. That said, I'd have a hard time spending 4x as much as the competition on the Oppo considering that others perform nearly as well (based on some quick review skimming).

Holy shit, Al, that's a blast from the past. IIRC there are at least a few solid tracks on that album. Me: It's been that kinda day.

I suppose I should try Nutella, eh?

Shit, piss and corruption, Jeff.

Indeed, those look fantastic Al.

You should read more, like the company's own website. While much safer than electrically conductive silver and copper greases, Arctic Silver 5 should be kept away from electrical traces, pins, and leads. While it is not electrically conductive, the compound is very slightly capacitive and could potentially cause problems if it bridges two close-proximity electrical paths. I'd also wager (although admittedly I didn't bother looking for the source you are sighting) that the designers didn't test conductivity at the voltages that we're talking about in these amps.

Barely have time to ride, not to mention watching other people ride. Speaking of the former, rode to work today. It was one of those weird spring days when it's warmer at 5AM than it is at 5PM. That said, I had a glorious 5-10mph tailwind in the afternoon and cruised the 20.4 miles in 1:03.

I'm so glad that I live in a place that has the first picture and definitely does not have the second.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Sweet!
