What are you impressed with? ……

[ohms18k]

Today it’s my garbage bags. Now, I’ve been taking the garbage out since the beginning of garbage, and that’s a long time. Since I’m the only male in the house I’ll be taking the garbage till the end of time. :rolleyes: They don’t look like much, just a small sheet of plastic but when you open it up some serious science is going on in there. I can pack more garbage in those bags with no twist ties; everything is built into the bag. :cool: This always gets a compliment from me to the wife on garbage night. So I want to give a shout out to the R&D people at GLAD, I’m impressed.

I think this is a brag.

[theresa]

Yep, He sure does like those bags.:hic:

[Billy_Bat]

I am sure that Glad has done all the R&D on garbage bags, and I appreciate it. But I LOVE the prices of the Target bags!
While I am bragging, I would like to say that my wife Sarah is not affraid to take out the garbage. (But we don't generate too much, just the two of us. I grew up with 5 sisters, and it was a daily chore for me. They could complain all day, but could NEVER take it out!)
Good Luck! (and good job on that garbage!)

In New York there are strict dog poop laws. Pick up or pay. We have a big-ass dog. The bigger the dog, the bigger the doo. Its a fact of life. I like to use fairly heavy gauge bags. Laura prefers to use fresh Glad sandwich bags. I find that totally disgusting.

[zhotfire]

I'm impressed with the smell of my dirty laundry.... :spew:

[verT]

I'm impressed I survived my late teens and early twenties....

Oh and footwear too, some of it is so high tech

[ohms18k]

Today I’m impressed with candles, preferable the long candles. They do a good job of lighting a dark cold house and they last long. It’s been 3 days since the storm and it’s been that long with no power and they tell me no power until Wednesday. So theresa and the girls are living at the Holiday Inn. While I try and keep their animals alive. I’m also impressed with Kerosene heaters (afraid of them too) but it’s doing a good job so far, no dead animals (mainly the fish).

My server and the dump dogs are asleep now :sad:

A generator is on top of my list. I will have one. :)

[zhotfire]

Today i'm impressed with vegetable potatoe salade. Mmmmmmmmm ......... good! :)

Kerosene heaters are cool(my bad), it's the naptha ones you should be afraid of.... might as well be using gasoline! :eek:

[EOC_Jason]

The everything bagel.... how do they put everything in it and it all goes together??? Mmmmmm...

[ohms18k]

I'm impressed with Smart UPS, saved my butt many-a-days. With the last power outage how can anyone not have one :rolleyes: I have 4 700 Smat UPS. Might sell 3 and get the 2200 model like Jason (We use one at work...nice).

They even supplied some heat to the fish tank during the outage :cool:

[Louis_Berding2002]

I'm impressed with how few accidents there are in Taiwan. Between how crazy everyone drives...the fact no cops enforce traffic laws...and how people never stop for red lights (most people do stop, but teens never stop)...I am very amazed. :D :baa:

[EOC_Jason]

You should check out RetroBox.com! I've bought two UPS's from them and both were great. I got the 2200VA for $100 and a 1400RM for $100... :)

They have a 1400VA for $100 right now (they pretty much price all UPSs at $100)
http://www.retrobox.com/rbwww/home/unit_view.asp?id=191634&bin_id=world
A 1250 for $75:
http://www.retrobox.com/rbwww/home/unit_view.asp?id=122147&bin_id=world

Shipping is a flat rate of $27.50 which isn't bad for the big UPS's.

I am impressed with my new mobile phone....a Nokia 8310 (http://www.nokia.com/phones/8310/index.html). It has a built in radio that sounds great :D

[Nofinger]

I am Impressed with my Microwave (combined micro, grill and hot air) it can make heat foot so quickly so there's more time to Post :)

[josephvs]

I love the 2200 Smart-UPS, it saved my butt the other day during power outages. It kept the servers and router humming along during a 45min. outage.

[MechCD]

I'm impressed with LEDs. take a look inside one when it's off. There is at least one tiny wire connecting the silicon to a leg. Now try to find the lense. You won't because it's seamless with the rest of the nifty lil thing. Now take a cheap green one... and run it 2v over spec... it will turn orange (i waterproofed one and put it in some cold water). Another thing that is amazing is that they are actually rather complex, yet they costs a few dollars for the decent sized ones (average blue) (Luxeon Stars are $15 a pop). The red, green, and orange kinds can be found for 10 cents. They can be made to be monsterous and put out goobles of light (luxeon star) or very very small, and still putout quite a bit of light (SMT LEDs). Next up, they are darned hard to kill with static. i have tried once, and failed. The lil green 10 cent LED still worked after repeated zaps of static :D I wouldn't try it with a more expensive or delicate one though. Now think of how much pondering is done to make sure the lnse and beam width are correct.... all that for a lil ol' LED

[Billy_Bat]

I am truly impressed with Mech's observations of a led. :cool:
I am also impressed with my father in law; he set up his 2 computers at home to share files and a dial up internet connection, all through a hazy email I sent him. :whew:

[Makatiel]

I am impressed with electronics in general. I have been an Electronics Tech for a bit over 5 years now and I still keep learning. Every new thing that I work with impresses me more and more.

Just the fact that we can manufacture the devices we do blows my mind.

But the trash bags are quite nice too..

[Nofinger]

I'm impressed with the way some people can type, Me only can type with one finger :rolleyes:

I am taking typing to new levels. Typing here and in like three other places. I need to get myself into the lead so I can work on this review though instead of trying to multitask between that and this..

Sorry BB. I try and behave. :hugz:

Oh come on now.. No Fun.. No Fun..

[Makatiel]

Alright.. Fine.. But I want to just hold as proof that now, I may be slowing on the posting.. But just remember that I could keep up this speed of posting all night and probably break 100 posts in a 24 hour period if I really tried hard ;)

Post On!:) :)

[Makatiel]

Well.. Hehe.. I dont think I will ever catch Siggy on the Total or Monthly, but I can sure take her on the 24 hour stats..

Maybe if I get back to posting like I used to I will be able to get to the top of the monthly sooner or later..

As i see it Siggy cant keep up with us (for now) but one day she will learn :rolleyes: ;)

[Makatiel]

I dunno.. It would take me posting like 50 posts a day for like months to even be able to MAYBE threaten Siggy at the top of the total posts..

I was just happy to see myself working on the middle of the top ten..

Not true Im keeping up. you two got started before me. :p

[Makatiel]

Well, yes, if I were to post three short posts that could just as easy be one post.. Then I could REALLY overinflate my post count..

But some of us have to work during the day when some others have nothing else better to do.. :p :p :p :p :p :p :p

[siggy]

:p :p :p

Contrary to popular beliefs I do actually work during the day. :p

[Makatiel]

Hehe.. Oh really? Well your title says otherwise ;)

[siggy]

My title states "nothing better to do" I dont consider work as "better" :p

[Makatiel]

Ahhh.. Ok.. That makes perfect sense now..

[Nofinger]

hey, A post must at least be 2 lines not the one liners you guys post thats not difficult and so you can gather a lot of posts. :rolleyes:

btw between us 3 we have more than 180 posts already :eek: :)

[Makatiel]

Well, I am about to slow for now.. I just posted that in Makatiels Place.. I need to work on this power supply.. I will be back in a bit though...

Yes I'm impressed with that too. :D

[Makatiel]

I figure it was only a matter of time before I came back and posted in odd crazy places.. Although I will say that I even outdid myself tonight.. If I didn't stop to actually go and do some work tonight I could have broken 100 posts in 24 hours EASY at the rate I was going..

[MechCD]

*yansk the steering wheel of the thread*

I'm impressed with nuclear reactors. Most of them haven't blown up even though they use some unpredictable stuff to produce heat, steam, and power.

[Makatiel]

Hmm.. Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say "Unpredictable" cause we pretty much know exactly what it is going to do. I would say more like unstable.

I agree with you though, the fact that we can take an explosion and manage to harness the power it creates is definately incredible..

I dont know if it beats the trash bags though.. Tough call..

I'll give it my best shot but I don't promises anything, But when I do I will celebrate it at siggy's Place with "The Siggy Rockers" :cool:
I did hear they have a new song wich will be released soon :cool: maybe one wich Wylie would like also :)

[siggy]

I really miss the SIGGYS ROCKERS at Siggys Place.

[Makatiel]

Hmmm.. Siggy rockers? That is what I am missing over at Makatiels place.. A live band.. I guess that old school juke box just dosent do the trick..

Please don't take this personally, but most of us don't want to read about a posting spree when we are expecting certain topics. It is rude and annoying....if you want to post whore, start a thread and keep it in there.

I'm impressed with...... Phil:hugz:

[MechCD]

Mmmm trash bags... My dad buys the cheap ones so i don't know how nice the good ones are.

Zip lock bags are rather impressive though

OK Im impressed with the fact that I read the whole thread again and I dont see mention of post count demerits.

(edit for adding topic)

[phil]

Siggy, you are talking like the post count is an achievement....this is only the case if all the posts are relevent and add to the content of the thread topic.

If you would like to read the following http://www.thegenomecollective.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1713

* No bombing forums or threads with pointless posts.
I would say the rules here are pretty lax and the mods and admin don't really enforce them but we have to draw a line somewhere. Posting 50+ irrelevent posts per day in the interest of increasing a post count is overstepping that mark.

[siggy]

Originally posted by phil

SNIP....

first I must say that Im impressed.

My post count has been an achievement since day one. So Im not quite sure what you mean there. It was quite enjoyable for the whole team to watch Dnar have someone to compete with for post.

I am not upset about the post demerits. No one is anywhere near my count. I think if someone was I would be more upset. Like if I had just broke 1000 post and the demerit took that away.

I understand that something needed to me done. Im a parent too and when the children get out of hand something has to be done. Maybe a warning "you will lose 100 post count if it you dont get back to topic" but parenting did not come with a handbook either, so you have to make a decision based on what you know at the time.

Being a MOD or ADMIN is not an easy job, but someone has to do it. And there is not anyone else I would rather have as ADMIN on this board.

So please do not miss understand my being upset, when my children are punished they dont like it either. But I have the maturity to understand what you did and I will accept my punishment as graciously as I can. :hugz: :hugz:

[phil]

Well it was not my intent to make you feel guilty :hugz: :hugz:

Can I come out of my room yet?

[Bruce]

I'm not the mod/parent here, but Yes, Siggy, I think you can come out now.

I'm NOT impressed with posting wars, but I'm also a pretty tolerant parent - - just ask my kids.

I, too, have been irritated by the posting wars -- but as long as those that choose to do them confine themselves to certain semi-designated threads, (so I can ignore them when I'm busy) then I'll just let people be themselves. When they spill over unnecessarily into threads that have interesting (to me) content, I think the line should be drawn.

I'm also impressed with parents who draw the line with minimal fallout from those being chastised. It's usually not possible to be both a good disciplinarian and popular, which makes the job tougher than it should be.

/end soapbox/

[Bruce]

Why does the sun lighten our hair, but darken our skin?

Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?

Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?

Why is a boxing ring square?

Why is it called lipstick if you can still move your lips?

Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?

Why is it that rain drops but snow falls?

Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

Why is the third hand on the watch called second hand?

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

Why is the word dictionary in the dictionary?

Why isn't there a special name for the tops of your feet?

Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

Why can't they make the whole plane out of the same substance that little indestructible black box is?

Can fat people go skinny-dipping?

Why do you need a driver's license to buy liquor when you can't drink and drive?

Here is a composite picture of the lights of the earth at night. I can even recognize major highways across my country.

The Home Planet (http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0011/earthlights_dmsp_big.jpg)

The image is a panoramic view of the world from the space station. It is a night photo with the lights clearly indicating the populated areas.

Note that Canada's population is almost exclusively along the US border. Moving east to Europe, there is a high population concentration along the Mediterranean Coast. It's easy to spot London, Paris, Stockholm and Vienna. Check out the development of Israel compared to the rest of the Arab countries.

Note the Nile River and the rest of the "Dark Continent." After the Nile, the lights don't come on again until Johannesburg. Look at the Australian Outback and the Trans-Siberian Rail Route. Moving east, the most striking observation is the difference between North and South Korea. Note the density of Japan.

What a piece of photography. It is an absolutely awesome picture of the Earth taken from the Space Station.

[phil]

I have seen that pic before Bruce, but hadn't appreciated it's implications. That is awesome...thanks :)

[pelligrini]

I'm really impressed with the incredible value of a $1.25 pin-exctractor tool for computer wiring connections. I have no idea how I lived without one before.

[theresa]

I've never seen that before. That's really:cool:

[pelligrini]

I spent most of Friday and Saturday re-wiring some power supplies and getting some old server boards running. I used to spend many hours trying to get the pins out of those ATX connectors (usually mangeling them beyond useability), that cool tool makes it sooo easy.

I loaded genome on a Gateway p66 I found with more layers of dust than it had Mhz but it was intact and running W95. :hic: After loading genome and watching the filter hyper accelerate to 1, the computer made a grunt and moan type noise, like the sound you make when picking up something heavy. I left it on with no hope of that baby getting past the filter with 98 more aa's to go. :rolleyes: That was 2 weeks ago, today it's still crunching, it doesn't make the grunt noise anymore it just moans working that same gene :dump:

I'm impressed cause I'll get a gene out of that baby someday. :D

I am impressed with my shiny new Lian-Li PC-61 case that I just bought at "computerfest" in Toronto.

I think this will be a long mod though, I want to do everything right.

It’s that one Saturday of the year when you can throw away any junk, chemicals, and OLD COMPUTER EQUIPMENT. That’s when ohms, dressed in black (DIB) :cool: goes hunting. Now this year I’m impressed……….with my superior night vision my first target was an easy hit. A nice mid tower case, just 5 minutes into the hunt the case was tagged, bagged, and thrown in the trunk. Now onward cause DIB :cool: is feeling lucky, cruising the hood at sub walking speed my superior night vision spots a pile, but there are piles everywhere but this pile has that off-white color that suggest COMPUTER EQIPMENT. I increase speed to warp 9, as I pull up there are other hunters, their camouflage is good cause I never saw them. Now it’s the stare down, never look at the piece of equipment you want it’s a dead give-a-way just circle the pile. :idea: This year I had something the other hunters didn’t have a DC to AC inverter. While the other hunters circles the pile DIB :cool:walks back to the car plugs in the inverter and whips out an extension cord, the other hunters stop their circling cause they are impressed. Their mistake, DIB :cool: can now go for the target a laser printer, I plug it into the extension cord, it powers up, I can do something with it, tagged, bagged, and thrown in the trunk. Now this is not the primary target. It’s the monitor a few layers deep in the pile, yes my superior night vision spotted that monitor first, the laser printer is an added plus. Like I said DIB :cool: is feeling lucky. While the other hunters stand around being impressed and asking questions about my inverter I’m slowly moving in on the primary target, when I finally reach it, I have got a prize, a ViewSonic E771 17’. Now the other hunters think I’m going to plug this monitor into my inverter.:rolleyes: I’m no fool, tagged, bagged and thrown in the trunk. Hunting is over.

I increase speed to warp 9, as I pull up there are other hunters, their camouflage is good cause I never saw them. Now it’s the stare down, never look at the piece of equipment you want it’s a dead give-a-way just circle the pile. :idea: This year I had something the other hunters didn’t have a DC to AC inverter. While the other hunters circles the pile DIB :cool:walks back to the car plugs in the inverter and whips out an extension cord, the other hunters stop their circling cause they are impressed. Their mistake, DIB :cool: can now go for the target a laser printer, I plug it into the extension cord, it powers up, I can do something with it, tagged, bagged, and thrown in the trunk. Now this is not the primary target. It’s the monitor a few layers deep in the pile, yes my superior night vision spotted that monitor first, the laser printer is an added plus. Like I said DIB :cool: is feeling lucky. While the other hunters stand around being impressed and asking questions about my inverter I’m slowly moving in on the primary target, when I finally reach it, I have got a prize, a ViewSonic E771 17’. Now the other hunters think I’m going to plug this monitor into my inverter.:rolleyes: I’m no fool, tagged, bagged and thrown in the trunk. Hunting is over.

Where might this "battlefield " be? :D:D:D

I'm impressed with two things currently. JohnyB's dump to challenge me is one. The other is my performance on our Dolphin team, TheGenomeCollective.com. (http://project-dolphin.net/cgi-bin/browse.cgi?mode=team-look&step=look-this-team&TeamID=205) :D

Anyone who has not joined the team, at least think about it. Here's the thread that discusses it: Um, here's the thread. :D (http://www.thegenomecollective.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2880)

I actually just now taught myself how to make links in the threads. :D And, I call myself a Junior Professional...:rolleyes:

Yeah, Dolphin is just a great incentive to get caught up on my work. :D But, now I am. :( I have no more to type for work. At least not until half way through this week. I better start posting a lot more. :D I don't really chat online, so I am at a disadvantage there.

:D I'm very impressed by my new signature. :cool: Anyone think it is too big? I have not seen many others that are that large. If there is seriously a problem with it, just PM me and I shall make the changes. I do not mean just a mod, if anyone has a problem with it, let me know. I value all of my teammate's opinions. ;)

Is it noticeable that I am trying to get my first referral? :D
