Washing new car

It's not normal. Most people are fine with the pre delivery inspection detail job that the dealership gives. If you're anal about your car, and want it to be 100% perfect then I highly recommend finding a detailer who does opticoat, especially if you're a lazy ass like me who doesn't like...

Washing new car

Like Zor Prime said, you'll get a thousand different replies. Everyone has their own technique, do as much research before you drop money on something. Do what works for you. Everytime you touch your car, you risk marring/scratching it. Doesn't matter what you're doing, what product you...

The future of SSD's

Read Anand's article on the Intel mSATA 525 SSD and was amazed on how small the drive is compared to a traditional 2.5" ssd. I thought it'll be fun to try to predict what the storage landscape will be 5 years from now. The current trend now seems to be miniaturization, solving bottlenecks...

Idea on how to "atomize" a gas into a million little bubbles?

what you're describing is common in the reef aquarium hobby. they use such a device to create the bubbles in their protein skimmers to remove fish waste from the water. There are a couple skimmer heads used, venturi needle, beckett head, or even just an air stone. here's a vid...

Vertex 3... I know I said I would never do it.

On one hand, I hate the company OCZ. They are slime and have left a bad piss taste in my mouth since the days when they were still selling memory chips. On the other hand, I purchased the Vertex 3, not because I like the company, but because it was the fastest solution on the market thanks...

Maybe he meant dropping the ball by going with a 3rd party controller (Marvell) instead of going inhouse. Or maybe the abysmmal random read/write speeds. Or both.

Maximus IV Extreme On Newegg

Ok I understand now, thanks for clarification. I notice you used a Ferrari as a comparision. I can see the point about "eye candy" and "exclusivity", is it safe then to also assume this $350 board is a lot faster as well?

not trying to mock someone for paying $350 for this board. I'm just trying to figure out what tangible benefits you get compared to a $180 P8P67 PRO board. If the tangible benefit for you is "I buy what i want whenever i want. I wanted this board ever since the first time i laid eyes on it. "...

120 Hz monitors

When I went to Fry's to test out the 120hz monitors, they weren't even set at 120hz, instead they were at default 60hz. IMO they need to set their shit right because people come in and "test" out the 120hz and it feels the same as the 60hz because it's set at 60hz! Then they come back on these...
