When I'm looking at this, I'm talking of the Bernard Hopkins that dismantled Tito Trinidad. That Bernard Hopkins was one of the best middleweights in the history of the game.
Marvelous Marvin Hagler and Bernard Hopkins are very much alike, they're hard men.. inside and outside of the squared circle. They both brought a very intimidating presence into the ring, and they both could fight to back up that presence.
But there is one major difference in styles that differentiates them... versatility.
Marvelous Marvin Hagler was a great fighter, but a fighter that relied on 3 things, conditioning, will, and physical strength. It was his goal to press a fight for 15 full rounds until whoever it was that was in front of him was gone. He carried this throughout his career, and he was absolutely brillaint in his work.
However, what would he do when a guy refused to stand with him, a guy that knows how to win, and that wouldn't buy into Hagler's game? Well, we all saw what he'd do, he'd keep trying. Hagler's fight with Sugar Ray Leonard set the blueprint and is the fight that I believe accurately depicts how Bernard Hopkins would have "Executed" Hagler, except in far more emphatic fashion then the much smaller Ray Leonard.
Hopkins is also, like Hagler, a HUGE middleweight. Physically powerful, and bruising. In a matchup of pure strength, this one is about as even as it gets. Many may think Hagler was stronger, but in terms of size and boxing functional strength, he was NOT.
The Hopkins at the time of the Trinidad fight would NOT have thrown a shot here and there, jumping in and out with a shot and looking to grab. He was a guy who put together punches, and found beautiful angles to land crushing shots. (His power was much more devestating a few years back, it has deteriorated with age, even Hopkins himself has admitted this) Lets not disregard the fact that Hopkins, just as Hagler was, has ALWAYS been in absolutely flawless condition.
Being as strong as Hopkins is, he would not have catered to Haglers style. He would have stuck him with a jab from the get go, letting Hagler start to bring the fight to him, and dissecting him with his overrall BETTER SKILLS and well roundedness.
Hagler was tremendous, but Hopkins just has more to work with. Hagler would be chasing Hopkins all night, but unlike the Hopkins we saw vs Eastman (a Hopkins that I like to refer to as slowing down, losing punching power, and the overall tenacity), the prime Bernard Hopkins was an absolutely murderous fighter. He would have shucked in and out (Hopkins is such a quicker fighter then the somewhat methodical Hagler) landing many series of devestating shots and leaving when any resistance was offered up from Hagler.
Certainly Hopkins would take a few shots in the bout, but with Hopkins's jaw of CAST IRON, there is absolutely no way that Hagler would have gotten to him enough to force a stoppage or even to significantly hurt Hopkins in my opinion. He would have chased him hard, he would have pressed the issue, but once Hopkins started Banging him and getting inside and mauling him, not giving Hagler any room, tapping him on the thighs, tangling him up, freeing up an arm and ripping a few uppercuts and short hooks (Hopkins is a perfectionist at this craft), he would gain control of Hagler.
Hopkins was too fast, equally strong, and had MANY MANY more options then Hagler. When Option 1 would fail for Hagler, he would have nothing else to resort to, of course The Marvelous one would try in vein, but it would be futile. Even when he beat Hearns, he had one option, go through all that punishment and do what he does best. Strength, will, and conditioning. Hopkins would NEVER get into that kind of fight with Hagler, and the result would be a hard fought Hopkins decision, potentially even stopping him late. Sugar Ray Leonard pulled it off, and he was nowhere near as strong as Hopkins, Hopkins is catlike quick, and there's no doubt in my mind he could pull off the same gimmick to perfection, except better. Just like he pulled off the gameplan set forth by Oscar De La Hoya on Felix Trinidad better.
Many holes in your argument, one is that youre refering to Sugar Ray Leonard as some guy who was fast and had no strength so therefore the fact that Bernard Hopkins is stronger would mean that he would beat Hagler? This makes no sense, SRL is an ATG was way more versitile than Bernard Hopkins can only dream of. SRL would make Bernard Hopkins look like an amateur if they fought how SRL fought Hagler in '87. I pick Hagler cause Hopkins gives away too many rounds in the begining with the hopes that he will catch towards the end of the fight due to his conditioning, this would be a big mistake if he tried that with Hagler cause Hagler would right there with him all the way til the end and eat him up.

I won't get into details....and I'm NOT going to fight it. My employer is fine with me bicycle commuting, however they will NOT let me roll the bike past the gate house to my building. (I work in a chemical plant) This means I won't be "occasional commuting" as I had planned. End of story, no more discussion necessary.
Sooo....I made a few changes to the bike since it's not going to be a pack mule. It's a lot less commuter and a lot more townie....Whatcha think? I like the no-sticker thing.... Kinda 007 sneaky looking.
Oh....it's a 2008 Cross Check 60cm. Also, it's crazy fast compared to the old setup. And light!

I want like to compile a *.tex file to a PDF without(!) the log file. Is it possible to tell PDFLaTeX it should not create it?
As far as I know not on TeX Live. you can find out on the command line by invoking the help for the compiler engine.
This yields every possible command line option that you can give to the compiler to influence its behaviour during the compilation process.
But even if, since the log value contains extremely valuable information about the complete compilation process, it is far from being advisable to turn off its generating.

Why do I want to run?
Tuesday, April 23, 2013
I am having a terrible time motivating myself to go for a walk/run. (It's mostly walking, interspersed with running. At some point, my body will be able to handle running.) Now that I'm able to ride more, my motivation to walk or run at lunch has plummeted.
I know the walk/run benefits myoverall health. It's a weight-bearing exercise (and boy howdy, is there a lot of weight to bear!) which will help keep my bones healthy. Running burns calories faster than cycling. Getting outside at lunch always refreshes me. I've never regreted getting outside at lunch.
The only downside is that I have to be in court at 1:30 on the other side of the river. I have to leave work by 1:00 to be there early enough to have my files prepped & ready to go. (No one likes an unprepared lawyer.) So it's a bit of a scramble, but I can do it.
I think I've talked myself back into the walk/run at lunch. But it still puzzles me how little motivation I have. I view running as the way to keep from getting really fat during the winter (oh, to be a brown bear and hibernate!). There was a time I actually enjoyed running. I imagine that once I get down to around 170 pounds, running will be both easier and more enjoyable. Clearly, I need to find some motivation to keep me moving toward running. (Just so long as it doesn't take much time away from cycling!)
There's a part of me that wants to get into good enough condition to do a mini-triathlon. The down side is that I enjoy swimming even less than I enjoy running, and the swim is the portion of the tri that's hardest for most people. I live along a river, so I have ready access to "live" water. (As a lot of newbies triathletes discover, there's a huge difference between swimming in a pool and swimming in a natural body of water.) The Hub has even agreed to walk along the river while I'm swimming to serve as my "sag wagon" (if there is such a thing for swimming).
Hmmm - I will be 50 in 2 1/2 years. Maybe that would be a great way to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of my birth - doing a mini-triathlon.
I think I just found my motivation.

application in space–timeCommon intuition previously supposed no connection between space and time. Physical space was held to be a flat, three-dimensional continuum—i.e., an arrangement of all possible point locations—to which Euclidean postulates would apply. To such a spatial manifold, Cartesian coordinates seemed most naturally adapted, and straight lines could be conveniently accommodated. Time...
research of DedekindWhile teaching there, Dedekind developed the idea that both rational and irrational numbers could form a continuum (with no gaps) of real numbers, provided that the real numbers have a one-to-one relationship with points on a line. He said that an irrational number would then be that boundary value that separates two especially constructed collections of rational numbers.
significance in Zeno's paradoxesThe Achilles paradox cuts to the root of the problem of the continuum. Aristotle's solution to it involved treating the segments of Achilles' motion as only potential and not actual, since he never actualizes them by stopping. In an anticipation of modern measure theory, Aristotle argued that an infinity of subdivisions of a distance that is finite does not preclude the possibility of......the stretch to the starting point of the turtle, he will have to traverse half of it, and again half of that, and so on ad infinitum. All of these paradoxes are derived from the problem of the continuum. Although they have often been dismissed as logical nonsense, many attempts have also been made to dispose of them by means of mathematical theorems, such as the theory of convergent series...

The GTX 670 and the Case of the Missing (and Returning) 4-Way SLI Support
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 11, 2012 - 08:57 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: sli, nvidia, kepler, gtx 670, GK104, geforce
In our launch review of the GeForce GTX 670 2GB graphics card this week, we had initially mentioned that these $399 graphics cards would support SLI, 3-Way SLI and even 4-Way SLI configurations thanks to the pair of SLI connections on the PCB. We received an update from NVIDIA later on that day that in fact it would NOT support 4-Way SLI.
The message from NVIDIA was pretty clear cut:
"As I'm sure you can imagine, we have to QA every feature that we claim support for and this takes a tremendous amount of time/resources. For the GTX 680 and GTX 690, we do support Quad SLI and take the time to QA it, as it makes sense for the extreme OC'ers and ultra-enthusiasts who are shooting to break world records."
My reply:
But with the similarities between the GTX 680 and the GTX 670, is there really any QA addition required to enable quad for 670? Seems like a cop-out to me man...
I saw it mostly as a reason to differentiate the GTX 670 and the GTX 680 with a feature since the performance between the cards was very similar; maybe too similar for NVIDIA's tastes with the $100 price difference.
Well this afternoon we received some good news from our contact at NVIDIA:
"Change in plans.....we will be offering 4-Way SLI support for GTX 670 in a future driver."
So while the 301.34 driver will not support 4-Way configurations with the GTX 670, 4-Way SLI will in fact be enabled after all in a future version. We'll be sure to keep you in the loop when that happens and the super-extreme enthusiasts can rejoice.
This does go to show that the fundamental differences between AMD's license-free and seemingly more "open" CrossFire technology and NVIDIA's for-fee SLI technology. With enough feedback and prodding in the right direction, NVIDIA can and does do the right thing, just look at the success we had convincing them to support SLI on AMD CPU platforms last year.
Feet to the fire everyone!
Hard to make a profit when no one can find Kepler cards for sale, NVIDIA
Subject: General Tech | May 11, 2012 - 03:38 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: sales, Q2, nvidia, kepler
NVIDIA made $925m this quarter down from the $1,002m they made 12 months ago and profit is even dimmer with profits falling from $137m to a hair over $60m. This marks the third year NVIDIA's Q1 revenue has been less than in the previous year and that is going to deeply trouble investors. Even if GTX680s and 690s had flooded the market and were sitting on store shelves hoping that someone would come along and buy them that would not have helped sales in the first quarter, though if Kepler had been released early and in great quantities NVIDIA might have turned this distressing trend around.
Q2 could be peachy, three models of GTX670 are still available at NewEgg after the initial sales and if the GTX680's production can be ramped up without much in the way of associated costs we could see some nice financials in the summer. After all they do have the best cards on the market right now. Hit up The Inquirer for more.
"Nvidia is on a high after a successful Kepler GPU launch but its financials paint a very different picture. The firm's first quarter of its 2013 fiscal year yielded revenue of $924.9m, just under four per cent lower than the same period a year previously, however its net income took a beating as profits fell by 55 per cent to $60.4m."

GeForce GTX 670 vs GTX 570 Performance Update
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 10, 2012 - 06:13 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: nvidia, kepler, gtx 670, gtx 570, GK104, geforce
In the comments to our full review of the GeForce GTX 670 2GB graphics card a user asked for a comparison of the new GTX 670 against the Fermi-based GTX 570. I had some numbers for that already made up but ran out of time and space for it in our review that went up this morning. I thought that there might be others interested in this so I decided to put a news post with the results.
These performance graphs pit a reference clocked GTX 570 1.25GB card against the new reference GTX 670 2GB card.
Without a doubt the new GTX 670 is a faster GPU than the GTX 570:
- 3DMark11: +45%
- Battlefield 3: +34%
- DiRT 3: +28%
- Skyrim: +32%
- Metro 2033: +31%
- Dues Ex: +29%
- Batman: AC: +39%
- Power Consumption: -14%
With an average performance delta of 30% or more, the GTX 670 makes a solid upgrade for GTX 570 users but maybe more interesting, it does this while using 14% less power as well.
The GTX 670 has finally arrived
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 10, 2012 - 05:30 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: nvidia, kepler, gtx 670, GK104, geforce
The GTX 670 is a scaled down GTX 680 in every aspect including price. 1344 CUDA Cores is 192 less than the GTX 680, baseclock is reduced 91MHz to 915MHz, 16 less texture units for a total of 112; the memory remains the same at 6GHz. Most important to consumers is the reduction in price, down $100 to an MSRP of $400, targeting it directly against the HD7950 at its new price. [H]ard|OCP's testing does not favour AMD as the GTX 670 shows an obvious performance advantage over the HD7950 as well as the still available GTX 580 and does it at a price point which matches AMD's new prices.
Ryan's full review can be read here, where he tests out Galaxy's GTX 670.
"NVIDIA's next generation Kepler GPU continues with the launch of the GeForce GTX 670. This GPU is positioned to provide great performance at a price level $100 less than the GeForce GTX 680. Could this be the best performing $399 video card, besting even the Radeon HD 7950? We tell you all you need to know if $400 is your price range."

GK104 takes a step down
While the graphics power found in the new GeForce GTX 690, the GeForce GTX 680 and even the Radeon HD 7970 are incredibly impressive, if we are really honest with ourselves the real meat of the GPU market buys options much lower than $999. Today's not-so-well-kept-secret release of the GeForce GTX 670 attempts to bring the price to entry of the NVIDIA Kepler architecture down to a more attainable level while also resetting the performance per dollar metrics of the GPU world once again.
The GeForce GTX 670 is in fact a very close cousin to the GeForce GTX 680 with only a single SMX unit disabled and a more compelling $399 price tag.
The GTX 670 GPU - Nearly as fast as the GTX 680
The secret is out - GK104 finds its way onto a third graphics card in just two months - but in this iteration the hardware has been reduced slightly.
The GTX 670 block diagram we hacked together above is really just a GTX 680 diagram with a single SMX unit disabled. While the GTX 680 sported a total of 1536 CUDA cores broken up into eight 192 core SMX units, the new GTX 670 will include 1344 cores. This will also drop the texture units to 112 (from 128 on the GTX 680) though the ROP count stays at 32 thanks to the continued use of a 256-bit memory interface.

More Leaks Emerge on NVIDIA's Kepler Based GTX 670 GPU
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 5, 2012 - 10:28 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: nvidia, msi, kepler, gtx 670, asian colorful
Earlier this week we reported on a rumored MSI GTX 670 graphics card with a "DispalyPort" that was coming out soon. A new photo of the MSI card is below along with the box (though the typo is covered up by the card). Swelclockers has now gotten their hands on even more photos of the alleged GPU–this time from manufacturer Asia Colorful. The two rumored cards are said to be based on the NVIDIA reference design, and supporting the rumors, both cards do look very similar in design.
The alleged MSI GTX 670 GPU
The cards that appear to be Kepler based GTX 670s have a black PCB that extends about 3/4ths of the length of the heatsink and fan cooler. Except for a bit of overlap, the heatsink covers the PCB and the fan is located in the part of the card that hangs past the edge of the PCB. It also looks like they have moved the PCI-E power connectors to the outside edge of the card–a different rumored GTX 670 had the PCI-E power on the back edge of the card.
The underside of the Asia Colorful GTX 670 graphics card.
As far as specifications, the cards support PCI-E 3.0, two DVI outputs, an HDMI and what looks like a DisplayPort output. Beyond that, the card is said to be based on a scaled down version of NVIDIA's Kepler architecture based GTX 680 GPU. For the GTX 670, NVIDIA has allegedly disabled 192 CUDA cores for a total of 1344. They have also reduced the base GPU core clockspeed from 1,006MHz on the GTX 680 to 900MHz. Although the card still uses the same 256-bit memory interface, the GTX 670 has a reduced memory (GDDR5) clockspeed of 5GHz versus 6GHz on the GTX 680. Because of the scaled back nature of the card, it has a lower TDP of approximately 150W.
Because they have been spotted in retailer's hands, the GTX 670 is likely very close to release. Rumors are now suggesting that the card will be sold for somewhere between $349 and $379 USD.
Also on the Kepler front, is this cool looking single slot Kepler-class GPU that may or may not be a custom designed GTX 670. What Kepler rumors have you heard, and are you looking forward to the cheaper GTX 600 series cards?

A PC Perspective Live Review Recap is a recorded version of a previously live streamed event from http://pcper.com/live. If you couldn't make the original air time, or simply want to re-watch, the on-demand version is provided below!
On the launch day of the new GeForce GTX 690 graphics card, NVIDIA's Tom Petersen once again returned to the PC Perspective offices to talk about this impressive new $999 gaming solution. Based on a pair of GK104 GPUs, we already posted our full review of the GeForce GTX 690 today but this information and discussion with Tom is worth seeing again.
I want to thank Tom for stopping by and speaking with us and I want to thank the thousands of viewers that tuned in to the live stream to make the event a success!
Why would you want to buy a GTX690?

The GTX690 is certainly the fastest single PCB card on the planet and this generation of NVIDIA's dual GPU card shows great improvements from previous dual GPU cards, but at $1000 MSRP it is essentially the same price as a pair of GTX680s. [H]ard|OCP's testing shows that the GTX690 performs at 95-98% of a pair of SLI'd GTX680s so there really is no noticeable performance difference. This begs the question as to why one might prefer the GTX690 to a pair of GTX680s; to which there are several answers. The most obvious is the size difference, with a GTX690 taking up one PCIe 16x slot and taking 2 slots on the back of the PC, where an SLI setup requires two PCIe 16x slots and takes up 4 slots on the back. Not only will the GTX690 leave you more room in your case it will provide better airflow as you will not have two cards sandwiched against each other as will be the case with many motherboards you would also have a much easier time setting up quad SLI. As well there is the power consumption to consider, in Ryan's testing the GTX690 needed 30W less than the SLI rig and over 100W less than a pair of HD7970s. That also resulted in the GTX690 operating at a slightly cooler temperature as well as being quieter, which is almost as important as the performance. The GTX690 is a beast and if you can afford it ... and find it for sale ... it makes more sense that buying a pair of GTX680s.
"Is the GeForce GTX 690 the best dual-GPU video card ever built? We'll compare performance to GeForce GTX 680 SLI and Radeon HD 7970 CFX to see where the new beast from NVIDIA stands. We overclock the dual GPUs and push these as far as we can. Surely this is the best performance ever experienced from a single video card."

Enthusiasts were offered a bit of hope this morning with news from DigiTimes that more capacity at TSMC will be available for AMD and NVIDIA which would mean more dies being made and hopefully a larger supply of GPUs. Since TSMC seems to have finished playing with their Cortex A9 process, there is a good possibility that the GTX680 and perhaps even the GTX690 will become common enough that the great unwashed actually have a chance to purchase one. We can also hope that it will give NVIDIA a chance to build up stocks of the GTX670 and 610 which are due out at the end of the month and June, respectively. Unfortunately, if a certain site is correct that may not be the case as NVIDIA will be redoing their mask and not be able to take advantage of the extra capacity TSMC could make available for them. Perhaps if this scenario is true AMD will be able to leverage TSMC to flood the market with Southern Island GPUs and hope to win the availability war as the performance crown is firmly on NVIDIA's head in this generation of GPUs.
"AMD and Nvidia, impacted by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC's) fully-booked capacity, had rather weak shipment performance in the first quarter; however, as more capacity will be gradually released by TSMC, shortages of 28nm graphics cards are expected to improve in late May, according to sources from graphics card makers."

GTX 690 Specifications
On Thursday May the 3rd at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT, stop by the PC Perspective Live page for an NVIDIA and PC Perspective hosted event surrounding the GeForce GTX 690 graphics card. Ryan Shrout and Tom Petersen will be on hand to talk about the technology, the performance characteristics as well as answer questions from the community from the chat room, twitter, etc. Be sure to catch it all at http://pcper.com/live
Okay, so it's not a surprise to you at all, or if it is, you haven't been paying attention. Today is the first on-sale date and review release for the new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 4GB dual-GPU Kepler graphics card that we first announced in late April. This is the dream card any PC gamer out there combining a pair of GTX 680 GK104 GPUs on a single PCB and running them in a single slot SLI configuration and is easily the fastest single card we have ever tested. It also the most expensive reference card we have ever seen with a hefty $999 price tag.
So how does it perform? How about efficiency and power consumption - does the GTX 690 suffer the same problems the GTX 590 did? Can AMD hope to compete with a dual-GPU HD 7990 card in the future? All that and more in our review!
Kepler Architecture Overview
For those of you that may have missed the boat on the GTX 680 launch, the first card to use NVIDIA's new Kepler GPU architecture, you should definitely head over and read my review and analysis of that before heading into the deep-dive on the GTX 690 here today.
Kepler is a 3.54 billion transistor GPU with 1536 CUDA cores / stream processors contained within and even in a single GPU configuration is able produce some impressive PC gaming performance results. The new SMX-based design has some modest differences from Fermi the most dramatic of which is the removal of the "hot clock" - the factor that ran the shaders and twice the clock speed of the rest of the GPU. Now, the entire chip runs at one speed, higher than 1 GHz on the GTX 680.
Each SMX on Kepler now includes 192 CUDA cores as opposed to the 32 cores found in each SM on Fermi - a change that has increased efficiency and performance per watt quite dramatically.
As I said above, there are lot more details on the changes in our GeForce GTX 680 review.
The GeForce GTX 690 Specifications
Many of the details surrounding the GTX 690 have already been revealed by NVIDIA's CEO Jen-Hsun Huang during a GeForce LAN event in China last week. The card is going to be fast, expensive and is built out of components and materials we haven't seen any graphics card utilize before.
Depsite the high performance level of the card, the GTX 690 isn't much heavier and isn't much longer than the reference GTX 680 card. We'll go over the details surrounding the materials, cooler and output configuration on the next page, but let's take some time just to look and debate the performance specifications.

fragile flimsy piece of cr@p
This review is from: SYBA SY-SATA2CF CF to SATA Adapter
Pros: don't know. it broke on my as i was installing it.
Cons: As mentioned above. this thing is so flimsy. the connectors for the SATA power and data is so weak and fragile, it fell off as i was installing it on my computer. Also, this thing is over packaged. so much stupid plastic to protect this fragile garbage.
Did you find this review helpful?
This review is from: SYBA SY-SATA2CF CF to SATA Adapter
Pros: None.
Cons: I hate talking bad about something, but this thing is really a flimsy piece of junk. The SATA connector is way too easy to break off, which is what happened with me. I didn't even get a chance to fire it up and see if it actually functions. I guess I should've tried taping down the connector the moment I noticed how weakly it was attached to the PCB. But really, I shouldn't even have to do that. Syba needs to rethink the design on this one.

Works great!
This review is from: SYBA SY-SATA2CF CF to SATA Adapter
Pros: Bought it to use in a PCH-A110, and it works perfectly. Paired it with an 8GB CF card.
Cons: It seems a little flimsy, but since it's going into the PCH and not being removed, I think it's fine.

Worked OK
This review is from: SYBA SY-SATA2CF CF to SATA Adapter
Pros: Shows up as a fixed device when used with 'fixed mode compatible' CF cards. Works pretty fast ~20mb/s with 133x cards. Low cost compared to other Sata to CF adapters.
Cons: Unit failed after about a month of useage. The PC no longer recognizes that a card is plugged in.
Other Thoughts: We tried the Addonics adsahdcf adapter and gained another ~10mb/s speed with the same CF cards.

This review is from: SYBA SY-SATA2CF CF to SATA Adapter
Pros: This little bugger works perfectly. It's being used to run my webserver, and I cant complain.
Cons: Mounting was a bit of a problem. I ended up just letting it hang where the cords set it as there's no way to screw in from the side.

Works great
This review is from: SYBA SY-SATA2CF CF to SATA Adapter
Pros: It does what it says it does. Compact flash is nice for an os, even for a desktop or server, if you use linux or freebsd. These are small enough to fit side by side on top of a 3.5 hard drive so with some hotglue or double sided tape you can easily fit these in any case. Especially with the rise of the slim 3.5 drives (all the new seagate 80-500gb's are slim)
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: Would buy again.

A Happy Customer
This review is from: SYBA SY-SATA2CF CF to SATA Adapter
Pros: I have the device and it works great. It was plug and play with a 4gb 133x kinston cf card (Newegg product N82E16820134575). It just shows up in the bios as a 4 gigabyte hard drive. I am using it in a self built media server build to run the os (Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit). It is a budget adapter, and I am using a budget cf card, but I am incredibly impressed with its performance. It is as least as good as the old super noisy 40gig drive I was using before (but it is silent).
Cons: My first one was defective and I wasted hours of time trying to get it to work. It showed up in the bios the very first time I booted with it, then never again. No combination of sata ports or cables would change that. Lesson learned... For you guys with a similar problem, the red led on the card means it is getting power and the green one is the activity light. If the green one isn't lighting up, you have a problem. No stars off though because I was so impressed with SYBA's customer service. Also in buying a budget product, I know there is a chance of failure. I did not expect top of the line because I didn't pay for it.
Other Thoughts: For a company that produces budget products, SYBA's customer support is incredible! Maybe the best I have ever dealt with. I sent them my first support email expecting to hear back days later, and got a reply within an hour. My customer support representative Michael (us.sybia.com), was incredibly prompt with his responses, and even got the part express shipped (Saturday delivery) so I could have it sooner. I had my replacement approximately a week after I shipped the bad one back.

Nice boot disk adapter
This review is from: SYBA SY-SATA2CF CF to SATA Adapter
Pros: combined with a 4Gb Transcend 266X Compact Flash chip, this makes a very fast, cool and quiet SATA boot disk . This puppy is mounted inside a low power MSI Wind box (60-70W) with no other CDROM/DISK devices, and a low power 1.6 Gb CPU. It contains the boot image for a MythTV FrontEnd.
Cons: fragile construction; easily damaged if careless removal of either connector and/or CF chip.
Other Thoughts: I am thinking about adding superglue or epoxy drops around the CF and SATA connectors on the PC board for a more robust unit. This guy should also be mounted with standoff screws upon some sturdy larger backing material like a bare chunk of PC board.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?
This review is from: SYBA SY-SATA2CF CF to SATA Adapter
Pros: None
Cons: Broken SATA connector. Overheats.
Other Thoughts: I now have 2 of these. The first one arrived with the SATA connector broken off of the board. Newegg replaced it for me. (Thanks.) The second one smells like its burning and the board gets very hot. I re-soldered the connector on the first one and it gets very hot also. Very disappointing.
Manufacturer Response:

great harddrive replacement
This review is from: SYBA SY-SATA2CF CF to SATA Adapter
Pros: I am using this for connection with a sata port on an asus mobo to a 4 gb cf card. It works great. It is for mythtv frontend. The backend hosts and stores all the files so I dont need lots of storage on the system.
Cons: none

Door Hinges - The Bumpside Build-OffWritten by on March 1, 2008 Open And Shut Case
Getting doors to fit right seems to be at the bottom of many people's lists and might as well be black magic to some, but when it comes down to it-it's not much harder than a crossword puzzle or a good game of Trivial Pursuit. As classic truckers, we have it a bit easier than say, the musclecar crowd with their big, long, and not to mention heavy doors, that can be a real pain in the posterior. Most of our doors will be bolted to hinges that are bolted to the doorjamb. They're aren't too many welded-on hinges like the late models and most makes have some sort of hinge pin repair kit available.
The door hinges on my '68 F-100 had seen better days and the driver's door was so far out of alignment that it was wearing parts out, not to mention the hard to find latch that broke before I got it. while replacement latches are getting tougher to find, Dennis Carpenter has pretty much everything else to refurbish your F 100's doors and get 'em swingin' in the right direction again.
In the confines of a doorjamb, the door doesn't have too many places to go. As long as your truck hasn't been wrecked or had its doors tweaked, it should only be a matter of hours before getting them hung properly. replacing the hinge pins is a no-brainer and only takes a few minutes once the doors are off, but you may want to have an extra set of hands to help with the lifting chores.
All's well that ends well, and thanks to a little elbow grease, a tight fitting thinking-cap, and Dennis Carpenter, this was an open and shut case-literally.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Here are the basic parts you need from Dennis Carpenter to rebuild your door hinges: new hinge pins, brass bushings (two per hinge), and door hinge check springs. You may or may not need the door check springs, but the ones in my truck (like most of my brake return springs) had broken at some point.Here is the driver-side door before I started with the hinges. Like most trucks, the driver-side door is going to show the most wear, and will need the most attention. Notice the rearward sag? This is how the door sits without the door striker installed in the jamb, and is the result of worn door hinge pins and or bushings, as well as improper door adjustment.The door had been out of alignment for years before I got it. The latch inside the door wore the edge of the striker down because they were too far away from one another--in other words, the door needs to be adjusted to the rear of the truck so more of the latch is connecting to the striker. I bought an extra door along the way and used the striker from it to replace this one, but Dennis Carpenter has new ones if you need `em.Next the doors need to come off. Don't forget the third bolt that is inside the hinge pocket of each hinge!You want to avoid hitting the hinges too hard with a hammer to remove the old hinge pins. I used a C-clamp, a socket that was big enough to fit over the head of the hinge pin, and a short bolt that's smaller than the diameter of the pin. Depending on how rusty or stuck your hinge pins are, a good soaking beforehand with penetrating fluid will help free them up.After cleaning up and deburring the hinge, I carefully installed the new brass bushings (remember there are two per hinge).And now the new hinge pins can go in. I applied a small amount of grease to them before driving them home.
Now the new door check spring can go on the top hinge. Lubricating the pivots will help eliminate squeaks.Look how much of a difference the new hinges made! (They brought the whole door up about 1/4-inch in the rear, but don't install the strikers yet). Now we need to adjust the door on the hinges to bring it back down since the gap around the door is uneven and it hits the cab.Front, back, up, and down adjustment will be done where the hinges bolt to the doors. By loosening the three bolts on the bottom hinge, the door will come down and slightly forward at the bottom. A floor jack with a piece of wood on it will come in handy to help support the door during adjustments.Looking from the side, that little adjustment at the lower hinge got things real close, but the door needs to be aligned on another axis as well. The top of the door is too far away from the body so much that it's almost even with the rain gutter; notice the uneven gap on the A-pillar too.We adjust this at the hinge and door jamb. By loosening the bottom hinge bolts and jacking up the door a small amount, it will pull the bottom of the door out, and as a result, push the top of it in. If the whole door needed to come in, both hinges would be loosened and the hinges moved closer toward the inside of the cab, one at a time.That brought the top of the door in nicely. After any adjustments are done, the opposite gap of what you just adjusted needs to be checked because every action has an equal and opposite reaction, right? Yes, it's time consuming, but there's no other way around it.With the stock rubber door bumpers installed, open and close the door a lot. Double and triple check the way it fits, taking great care to line up the bodylines, creating an even gap around the door.
Now the striker can be installed. They usually come with a couple of textured washers to help keep them in place.Lastly, the front to back adjustment is done with the door shut, the striker installed, and a jack set to support the front of the door. With all this in place, loosen the hinges from the door and carefully pry the door to the front or back depending on what you need and retighten. This one needs to go back about 1/8-inch to even out the gap.

Respond to Review of Biocenter Restaurant Vegetaria
by Hanna
Review: A cozy restaurant with interesting paintings & lampshadings, some nice old books in the bookshelf. We went there at lunch time and ate so much starters that we weren't actually able to try the main course anymore. We liked the food, even though it wasn't the best food we've ever had but still good, atmosphere was really nice and especially one of the staff members speaks really good english.
