I still can't believe that teh Ipod is the runaway success of the mp3 player market tbqh, shows how many gullible hipsters there are in the world. Same goes for the "revolutionary" Iphone that needs to be hacked to have any real useability over any other smart phone.

I agree it's frustrating at best how much domination all the apple crap has. I basically had to buy an ipod cause the thing i wanted to use it most for was music in my car and ipods seem to be the only one with support from most headunits. Sound quality on them still sucks a fat wang but i guess thats what you get

i don't have that much music (only about 3gb of it on the computer), and back in the cd i had a 10 disc stacker, then they started bringing out cd players that played mp3 format and i've been using that since (cd player in the car is about 7 years old now). have a cd player at work that plays mp3's at work as well. so since i get 10 hours worth of music on a disc i just burn a new cd every few weeks once i get sick of the old one

I've got a DVD player in my car that reads MP3s... so that's 8Gbs of music there

and I wired up an input for my phone, or any other 3.5mm jack capable device (read:has headphones)... My phone has 16Gbs, so that's 24Gbs of MP3s at any one time to choose from without the need of having to carry around an MP3 player...

Take that Apple!

but as usual, ill informed wankers will laud it as being the 'next big thing'.

I refuse to even use the bloatware that is Itunes and the whole Ipod thing (which can only ever have music from one pc put onto it at a time).

I like the iPhone and all it can do jailbroken - name one mobile on the market that can do all the things a jailbroken iPhone can...

This iPad though is the silliest thing ever... I would buy a Google Document reader/kindle over this thing lol

The Ipad is a fancy embedded computer system. Which is still classified as a computer.

When the word "computer" comes up most would only think of the platform computers (ie PCs).

So yeah, I say they are computers, just a very overpriced POS one that targeted at Apple fan boys/girls.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
