Any thoughts on CERN claiming to have clocked a particle moving faster than the speed of light? Not a physicist, but that seems like a pretty big deal if it's true.

Bet they'll find a new form of uncertainty, 50ns isn't exactly a HUGE margin for error.

You guys are SLACKERS

Am not ! :P

Finished a prototype LED power supply, cut some wood for the work bench and installed a huge vice, organized some stuff in the garage (ever since moving i nothing was in place) and put together a customer's SPL box.

Sweet :) What sort of supply?

Amplified zenner, it's in the pics, very tiny. Don't have an inductance meter yet to build a buck converter.

High power app?

Depends on what Darlington transistors I can find. Parts shop said they had some 60A ones.

50 LED's shouldn't be a problem for a 60A transistor.

Went to a movie tonight otherwise the 9 LED proto would have been ready. Weekend out of town (company payed trip), maybe I'll finish it tomorrow afternoon :)

Dying to see what yours is for :)

Maserati version of the Dodge Durango/ Jeep Liberty is coming soon supposedly.

Looks like a chili pepper rip off

If the original is any indication it's somewhere between a Cayenne and an X5

We did a bunch of work in the chassis integration on that rig. HUGE improvement over the previous generations and better than anything GM has ever even thought about making.

with Mercedes underpinnings, natch

Keep meaning to go drive the new SRT to compare with my now nearly 5 year old chassis that is the same.

According to the article that's happened before. I think you're right.

It's really hard to imagine Chrysler making a decent suv after what the Durango did to their image. Not saying I don't believe you, but it'll be a tough sell.

Chrome makes your subs hit the low lows better while still sounding good and getting the mad dBzzz, duh.

Its not a Durango, but an ML with a Chrysler pushrod V8. Really mature chassis, drivetrain, electronics package so it should be solid in that aspect as well. The Jeep that shares its underpinnings is nicer though.

The problem isn't the car. It's the name. Generally speaking people don't associate Chrysler with quality anymore. At least, that's what I've seen.

Holy shit. Just had the cops and an ambulance tear through our neighborhood. Figured someone had a heart attack. That is until 6 monster fire engines pulled into our street.

We live on a private road with a whopping 15 houses on it with a shared beach so it is far from common.

Not that I stalk you or anything, but I didn't know that, pretty fucking jealous right now.
