Apps are for poor people who can barely afford the phone they have, Your type of biking and your age means you can actually afford the correct device, Get a Garmin designed for what you are doing, far better in every way. Oregon 600t is absolutely fantastic for trail riding and get's rid of all the limitations that a smartphone has. Like being readable in broad daylight.
I'll just put a BT headset in and listen to the audio cues that ALL gps apps deliver. Honestly, his "hammerhead" thing is a solution looking for a problem. Looking down all the time for a visual cue is dumb.. ride along never looking until you hear " left turn 1000 feet ahead on main street" in your ear is the proper solution.
....Dont really know anything about electronics. I suggest getting into analog and learning the other 60% of electronics. It's actually not hard when you figure it out. (Hint: use math) and you blow the minds of kids learning it when you can blink an LED with 3 discreete parts instead of needing to program an arduino or picaxe.
No, you need a uncommon resistor, typically a 15-20 watt, and if you pick the wrong value you will not get a real reading, some of these things will significantly sag the voltage if the load is of the wrong impedance. and pick too high of a resistance and you dont get an accurate measurement.
So it's not a simple resistor, it's a very specific high power resistor that will emulate the proper device load that the power supply is expecting.
He still loses his geek card, you get to keep yours as you understand at least the basics of electronics and electricity:-)
But it does. All BluRay players run linux, and the ones that have netflix.... That's Netflix on Linux. so they are lying bastards when they say they cant do it.
Why? your TV has only one HDMI input? get a apple TV and then build a XBMC box, get yourself a universal programmable remote and call it done. I do not understand the fetish people have with having to only have ONE box. I have 3 and it's awesome. BluRay, AppleTV, XBMC. the Apple TV has the best interface for Hulu and Netflix and is 80X faster than the Roku 3 it replaced. And it has the advantage of not being FILLED WITH AD's like the roku boxes are.
No it cant, the PLEX client on roku is a steaming pile. go and run a REAL plex client or better yet XBMC and discover what plex is supposed to be like. and I would LOVE to see your roku play a 1080p 3D file.
I warn people away from Ubuntu and towards Debian or another reputable distro that is not selling your info and loading your os with AD's and spyware. Yes if you are sending info for targeted ad's you are bundling SPYWARE.
You can just pick someone at random and sue them. All Americans have the right to sue because of their own stupidity. You still have your card from when you bought your god given SUV with a V8 right?
Companies like "sparkfun" and the hordes of china knockoff makers must really take a bite out of AdaFruit's sales figures. I see a lot of times when you come out with a new product sparkfun copies it within a month, and china knockoffs are flooded on ebay within weeks. How does that affect your bottom line when you put all the hard work into designing it and even writing an entire arduino library for your product and then other companies come along and sell a knock off of your product?

Next thing you will suggest is obeying traffic laws, stopping at stop signs and riding on the proper side of the road. All insanity! Pure insanity!
Then way are most of the stupid people driving SUV's then?

Leave him alone, he went to public school.
"had butt sex"
You Keep Using That Phrase, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means
Yeah, that "no haggle pricing" is BS. you can still haggle and I always do.

A simple resistor? so a random 1/4 watt will do?
No, you need a uncommon resistor, typically a 15-20 watt, and if you pick the wrong value you will not get a real reading, some of these things will significantly sag the voltage if the load is of the wrong impedance. and pick too high of a resistance and you dont get an accurate measurement.

Those are utter crap. I have bought and returned two.

This one however works flawlessly with an iphone, ipad, nexus7 and a Nexus 4.
Turn in your Geek card. That will measure Current draw by the device, NOT how much current the device can deliver.
Unless they invented laser proof UAV's....
So they automatically crack your WPA2 security? or do they send over a goon who holds a gun to your head until you enter it?

If one of the "editors" like it, firehose means nothing at all.
People still use netflix on a computer? do these people not own TV's or tablets?
Just not plug in the CAT5 cable? it has the added benefit of making it Hacker and NSA proof.
That was an accident, he fell on his pistol that fired all 6 rounds, then he reloaded it and fell on it again.
Stop trying to make it sound like something other than a very simple and common accident.
because it's not cratering like the US dollar, the government has to put their money into something.

Ubuntu has tainted the water. It's not a safe OS.
Therefore he is still wrong. because people LIKE me don't want the cops to have any lethal weapons at all.
