So, does it take the 7 channels, and process it down to two channels with binaural sound? Or is there just a bunch of different drivers in the headphones?

Quote from dougie-lampkin :Hmm, my calculator (IRL, scientific one) can use degrees, minutes and seconds, which can be used for time too. I'm sure there must be something similar for PC?

Why would you use DMS for time? Is it really that hard to divide/multiply by 60?

Quote from tristancliffe :Floor it more, get to your cruising speed quicker using quite a lot of revs.

I think you should change that to "use as much throttle as possible without your ECU going into open loop mode". For those of us with cars that run overly-rich in open loop.

Yeah, on my car, which produces 124HP stock, some people who have installed megasquirt have gotten gains of about 30HP. Which makes sense. 124HP is kind of sad for a 1.9L motor.

My fuel economy doesn't change that drastically from when I drive spirited to when I drive normally. I mean, as long as I don't floor it. The kind of car that I drive runs extremely rich in open loop. But as long as it's in closed loop it makes no difference. Except when I do 50/50 city/highway driving, then I average about 26mpg US gal/31mpg Imperial gallons. And, before my fuel leak I got 36 miles per gallon US (43mpg imperial) when driving solely on the highway for about 180mi.

Maybe you have a fuel leak? I'm only getting 20mp(US)g, which is 24mp(Imperial)g city in my car because I have a fuel leak. Either that or something is causing my car to run rich. Probably a little bit of both. I need to do a compression test lol

Quote from wien :Can someone listening in on the server-client communication decrypt the stream using only the transmitted information?

Yes. They are executing a man in the middle attack. The client sends the packet requesting the SSL connection, but the packet goes through the hacker's computer first. Then, the packet from the server containing the SSL certificate goes to the hackers computer. Then they send a false SSL certificate to your computer. But, it would cause your web browser to warn you that the certificate is not validated. If you ever see a message like that, refuse the connection. You have to know every possible way of your network's security being compromised to be able to protect yourself against attacks.

Quote from wien :Unless the traffic goes through SSL, which anything important should be anyway.

SSL won't prevent anyone from accessing the data. What do you suppose happens if they get the SSL certificate before you do?

Once someone gains access to your network, they can see all internet traffic. Unless you make it so that no-one can change the ARP table.

Quote from Becky Rose :However I can guarantee, on the grounds that he is a politician, that whatever he said he was going to do is not what he will do and therefore no demonstrateable policy is yet to be defined and 'followed'.

That's pretty much what I think. Whether you agree with him politically, or not, he's not going to do most of the things he said he's going to do. Every president thinks that they will change the country. But, they never do. And when they do, it's a change for the worse.

Quote from GrIp DrIvEr : So, if I had the opportunity, I think this would be a great time to move to Europe or Japan.

Funny how you list Japan, and not any other Asian countries. And why Europe? Isn't Europe way more socialist right now compared to the US? Anyway, it probably won't get that bad. I for one don't care what happens anymore. As long as my life isn't threatened, I don't care.

Quote from BurnOut69 :Hell no, yer countri needs ya

Exactly. Let's save the US economy by abandoning it? lol

Quote from bunder9999 :i was reading somewhere else if she ran the car with the closed thermostat, but turned on the heater and opened the windows that the hot coolant would flow into the heater coil and cool the engine that way... could that be another alternative?

Coolant is always flowing through the heater core. But unless your car has a really large heater core, and it doesn't produce alot of heat, it will not really have any affect. Look at how big the radiator is compared to the heater core. On some engines, like the one in my car, if it's less then about 25F outside, I can get my car to cool down a little if I turn the heater on with the fan at maximum speed. But anything above maybe 35F, and that doesn't work at all.

Just replace the thermostat. It shouldn't be that difficult. It took me a few hours to replace mine, but it shouldn't take you as long. It was my first time doing something like that, and on my car the thermostat housing is right below the A/C compressor, and the oxygen sensor is in the way of a wrench that's over about 6in long. And, there's no room to use an extension to clear the oxygen sensor.I couldn't come up from below because of the plastic shield that I couldn't figure out how to remove.

On some engines, the thermostat housing is on the top of the engine. On my car, it's on the side of the block, and I had to drain the coolant before replacing the thermostat. I also flushed plain water through the system, and drained it about three times.

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :Or you can just buy a variable resistor and stick it in series with the connector. Problem solved.

Generally that's not the way you want to limit fan speed. PWM is usually used.

Oh yeah, I forgot. I'll actually continue the thread this time.

Quote from Gills4life :Black or white?

Black. Because white is the color of purity. And purity sounds like puritan, and I don't like the puritans.

Ford or GM?
