Indirect lighting for desk
Oh yeah, pretty sure they come from the same factory as the dioder strips. I've seen both in person, but not side by side, and the differences were indistinguishable to me -- other than these are $20 cheaper and these are 11 LEDs per strip, I think the dioder ones are only 9/strip.- Saaby

Indirect lighting for desk
CPF! Long time no post. I just moved into a new place and I'm finally getting my desk setup. Pic: I'm trying to figure out how to light it. Ideally I'd like the desk to be awash in soft, indirect light. In the past I've done things like hang a desk-lamp from the wall with a full range CFL...- Saaby

Older iMac and modern web pages...SOS!!
Only if your time is free too. A 500 Mhz G3 is really just begging to be replaced. The good news is the iMacs are just fantastic these days. I have a 27" Core i7 iMac on one of my desks and a Quad-Core MacPro loaded up with 20 Gb of RAM, a 30" and 23" Apple display on the other. I edit HD video... -

Comments on Laptops
This is true, but these things are hardly ever done "on the go" for me, so an external drive would suffice. -

Timelapse Anyone?
Filmmaking has been a love of mine almost as long as Flashlights. I'm currently stuck on time lapse. Here's my latest. Panasonic GH1 (*LOVE* My GH1), about 380 exposures. Processed using Photomatix, then converted into an image sequence with Quicktime 7. It's part of a promo for an on-campus... -

Fundamentals of Engineering Exam
My University borrowed some Carbon Fiber accumulators from Parker last year for...wait for it..a race car. Cool stuff. Now if nobody minds, I think I'll hijack this thread a little -- Do we have any Manufacturing Engineers around? I've been studying Mechanical Engineering, but in the last year... -

13.3" without an optical drive. The only things I use my optical drive for are burning DVDs (I do video) and ripping DVDs (I do video). I never do these away from a desk. I'd gladly swap my optical drive for a battery or second hard drive. In fact, I just might do that. -

I think I know what Apple is going to do!
I agree that a camera would have been nice, and I'm almost sure they'll eventually add one. But honesty. Honestly. When was the last time you used the Webcam on your laptop? My laptop has one, and it's nice or fun once in awhile -- but I'd call it more novelty than necessity. Perhaps I'm wrong... -

Koenigsegg leave Saab out to dry
Shows you how much badge engineering can devalue a brand. The 9-2x was sold for 1 model year, and the 9-7x for maybe 2? Though they share platforms, the 9-5 and 9-3 are significantly different than the other cars that they share bits and pieces with. The new 9-5 will have some similarities, I... -

I think I know what Apple is going to do!
It's already been covered a little bit -- but this is distinctly a mobile device, the iPhone doesn't run an Intel chip either. Apple isn't going to go away from using Intel chips in their computers. I have 6 stocks on the Stocks widget on my dashboard. Apple, another tech stock, a market... -

Car crash on way home.
That is indeed very sad. On an almost unrelated note, I spent a few hours yesterday visiting a company who reconstructs accidents, mostly for lawsuits. Very interesting stuff. -

Why the widespread lack of digital tuners?
Seconded. True analog speedos were going out in the 80s. Gone totally, I'd guiess, by the 90s. Can't imagine any modern car with one. -

need studying tips
Engineering is a beast. You need to figure out where your problem actually lies. I used to spend a lot of time "doing homework" without getting anything done. For me, the aspects of Engineering they focus on in school (Analysis) are not the ones I'm most interested in (Product Design and...
