Fuck ipods and apple.

After the new hdd and battery, my ipod started freezing again when it's in the car. I hope I can get it working again without spending money and selling it so I can get a different version, maybe with better results.

Is it too much to ask to have a bit more storage room instead of writing cd's with mp3's ?

What iPod do you have? If you get a new one how much storage do you need?

4th gen, 20GB. It's more than enough storage but horrible reliability. I could do well with 4GB of storage, as long as it will play without hiccups.

The HDD ones are prone to failure. Especially one that old. I had a 5th gen and the logic board went out so I sold it for parts and got a 160GB. If all you need is 4GB I'd just get a flash based nano. I had an iPod touch and it didn't play nicely with my Alpine or Pio HU.

Roling back the iPods software to an earlier version(preferably before the hu was made) usually fixes any compatibility issues

I'll have to try that...

I thought for sure you had seen that Aaron.

Jobs reminds me a bit of your fave physicist.

Sagan was selling ideas, but not for mega profits. ;)

But no, I had not seen that speech though.

I was drawing a line with the passion and the way they could conceptualize. But yes, jobs made fuck loads.

I'm having a party to celebrate the death of Jobs, I'm glad that cock is dead, his company may have accelerated the advancement of certain technologies, but he did nothing in that regard

You probably only think about Ipods and Iphones. He probably had nothing to do with the way some Apple addicts act.

To each his own...

If you haven't heard this speach you should.

I was actually telling my dad about that exact speech this morning, right after he told me Steve Jobs died.

That's what I'm thinking. A 3rd or 4th gen nano is ok. I don't need tons of storage, I just want it to play music :D

The only downside of buying a 4 year old iPod is the reliability factor. Obviously a flash based one will be a little more rugged than the HDD based versions. Battery performance isn't a huge deal though since you'll be using it in the car. 3rd gen Nanos sell for around $30 on my local CL. Not much of a loss if it craps out after a year.

My phone's got 4 gigs of memory. It can take up to 8 (card).

Did I mention it was released 5 years ago?

Can I control it through my head unit ?

No, but it can act as a HU itself. Or hook it to your HU via the 3.5 jack(if your has it as an option), or skip the HU entirely and send the signal directly to the amps.

<--watching my first full half of a WNBA game :P

Enjoying those strong fundamentals are you?

Still better than the actual NBA

Whenever my friends and i go to bdubs, we watch WNBA and every shot they miss, we take a drink.. and keep going.

Funny, except being a bdubs. What a fucking waste of a chain. Everything about the US I hate is epitomized in that shit hole.

Yeah, not many local places around base. kinda shitty, i hate chains.

They have great commercials though. :roflmao:

I've never actually seen one.

Well R1 I've narrowed it down to something from USOptics or the premier heritage.

I want to try a different night force, but the "chromatic aberration" was too much for me. And it had oddities Round the edge of the image.

I'm also going to have to say fuck s and b. I can't find their top end anywhere and its the most highest cost option. If it had some feature that was can't live without but the glass on the one I looked through was great but not spectacular like a HQ binocular or telescope/range finder.

Not quite a Nightshade, nor an NS, but either way on sale right now.

http://www.parts-exp...tnumber=269-186

These driver's resememble the ns-794-4a's at a way better price. What is the biggest differance between these 2 drivers acoustically? Is this to replace the 794's?

The don't give spec sheet that I could find?

Not sure. Thought about calling Aura's head designer to find out, but figured I should look on the internet first :)

Those are the Mobile Reference drivers. They came out along with the originals but were tailored for automotive use. I remember auditioning a pair of these roughly 10-12 years ago, but could not justify spending $1K on a driver. IIRC, these were the first $1K retail driver in the automotive world.

Volkswagen has officially announced a recall of 168,275 Jetta TDI and Golf TDI models as well as certain Audi A3 TDI vehicles after a recent stop sale. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the problem stems from the fuel line that feeds injector number two. Over time, the resonance from the injector could cause the line to fail, potentially leading to an engine fire. Volkswagen will replace the line with an improved piece and fit each injector with a vibration damper to prevent the failure from occurring in the future free of charge.

Funny that the pulse rate of the piezoelectric injectors matched the resonance frequency of one of the fuel lines; you'd think the engineers would plan for that...

I'm sure they did, but as soon as the weather changes one degree, it shifts anyways. Too many variables to consider. Reality often trumps the best engineering.

If its on during football or on the food network (obviously not on the second) I'd see it otherwise, not so much. Even then I pretty much only DVR so I don't see the commercials.
