He was a legend of the game and he is an inspiration the way he went about fighting the illness, no disrespect but you obviously don't know much about him to question it.

And yes heaps of people have been through similar nobody is taking anything away from them

If anything, being a celeb he more than likely got special treatment.

So if I die the same way i'll be an inspiration and a legend amongst tradies yeah

What special treatment would he get? He had the same operations anyone else would have.. Having said that you don't have your own charity you probably won't be out there helping others while your fighting for your life either like he was so yes likely less people would care cos you haven't done anything for them

No offence, but how does dying from cancer make you a "legend/inspiration" of the game?

Pretty sure he's not the only one who's battled the illness...

The fact that he kept the HUGE amount of charity work with Reach going all through it?

Raising funds, functions etc. Putting others ahead of himself - means nothing?

Also running the near dead Melb footy club at the same time. Remaining open about everything etc.

The fact he is the only player to play 11 years straight without a game off?

It's not just about that one persons struggle. No-one is saying he is the only person to battle the illness, however the way it was approached and dealt with is not just about cancer, but more so about the world in general. Too many simply roll over and give up

Rimspec is right to some extent. People battle cancer and die from it everyday, and plenty of them will actively help and support others ahead of themselves etc. The fact that he's famous makes everyone feel more sorry for him than Jane doe, it's human nature. Fact is of you didn't know of him you'd care just as much as you did that 20 Jane Does died of cancer before u had breakfast this morning, not at all.

As for him getting 'special treatment', it's true and it isn't. Money talks. He'd get the best of everything available. It didn't save his life, but having fbe best available care/treatment/hospital rooms never hurt anyone.

I'm so sick of the word hero being used for sports stars. I played football every weekend. I'm not heroic. Period. The guys putting their life on the line in Iraq/Afghanistan etc, fighting a war they may not even believe in, they're heroes, they're courageous and inspirational, and pretty much no one will think of them apart from a certain day of the year, or for a quick moment when their death is on the news.

Now let's get back to discussing the real issues. Mine and rimons bike purchases

The media over hype and over estimate so-called sports people...

Hows the bike purchase all going? haha!

This will be my final post on the subject but I really believe he was an extraordinary person. He never put his own life above anyone else's and given the circumstances he always put other people ahead of himself. His work through reach and the way he inspired all those around him is truely remarkable.

I'm not taking anything away from those who are battling cancer, but Stynes' remarkable work is well documented. I'm not even touching on him as an athlete either.

I'm not calling the bloke a hero. Totally agree RE: diggers etc.

Inspirational & someone to aspire too - yes

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
