Rob, I am intimately familiar with PCI compliancy and electronic payments. Check your PM – give me a call on Monday and we can chat about implementing a cutting-edge solution / methodology to give you the flexibility of a web-services based real-time API for processing electronic payments while...

Steveny, I did some aggressive research into mattresses a little over a year ago. The most frustrating part is that mattress manufacturers make it extremely difficult to compare brands and models. For example, manufacturers will sell the exact same mattresses to different stores who obtain...

My company is currently going through the patent process. Elite: You are not required to have a prototype, proof of funding, etc... You can file a patent with an extremely CRUDE conceptual drawing; if it truly is an invention. Patents are only protected for 20 years, and you can definitely...

RyRy, there are a plethora of automotive grade portable navigation units on the market; it really depends on what features you will require. I have done a multitude of research on these units, and in my opinion, the Garmin 2620/2720 is the best all around unit. It has it pros and cons, like all...

Dave, a standard Inertial dyno does NOT have a variable load brake. It is near impossible to properly tune a partial throttle vehicle on the likes of a DynoJet Dyno, without one of their custom accessories. DynoJet has recently released a LoadPack, but I have not yet heard any feedback, and do...

It depends on what kind of dyno you are using. An Inertial dyno(your typical DynoJet) is really only useful for an A/F at wide open throttle, like KGP said. It is unfortunate as, in my opinion, the absolute most important thing about any properly tuned FI vehicle is cruise condition. You will...

I got an exceptional deal on the Dell 2005FPW LCD (~$549 a piece), and picked up two recently. This is their 20" widescreen LCD w/ 12ms refresh and 600:1 contrast. (1680 x 1050 native) Very impressive specs for a Dell/no-name brand LCD. Does anyone know who actually makes these for Dell? The...

I've been doing Network Engineering/Network Security for about 7 years. My colleagues have to call the fire department on a regular basis because I've gotten so burned up. Have a backup plan -- I'm pretty close to implementing mine.

The higher your elevation, the thinner/less oxygen the atmosphere is. As your elevation increses, the air pressure decreases. Air pressure (1 atmosphere) at sea level is around 14.7PSI. So basically, earth is 'boosted' :) The higher you go up, the less resistence to boost you have. I believe at...

I'm sure you have gone over all possible scenarios and found that they aren't worth the risk of a good old 24-72 zone file propagation, but there are several options to minimize, or eliminate downtime -- even if your new site is using Virtual IP hosting. Will toss out some other ideas if...

Do you guys/gals really think that the CEO of Honda would say the following if they weren't absolutely sure of the next Generation NSX's future? "This type of commitment is also the reason we make vehicles like the Acura NSX and Honda S2000. The production volume is small. But the value is high...

I've been following this thread with great interest -- not because I'm interested in the Basch supercharger, but because everyone was looking to find out who the 'anonymous' user was. I am an original employee at the domain Registrar that holds this domainname. I also personally designed and...

I do most of my tuning on the street. It's as close as you can get to an unlimited Eddy-current type loading dyno for free. In my opinion, even considering non-inertial loading type dynos, there is still no better way to tune a car to run absolutely like an OEM vehicle then by street tuning. The...

Can't help but post regarding my car in a CRX thread. Might as well add some pics of my amazing manifold for my CRX. Pure quality, 8 gauge thickwall forged stainless contruction. The manifold you posted is more then prone to cracking, unfortunately.
