![]() This probably has less to do with the hardware, but is a limitation of the drivers and the OS, which was Windows 7, 64-bit, by the way. The touchpad of the T410s is quite simply poor by comparison. The inertia-based two-finger scrolling is, like I said, a joy. Things like the palm check and two / three / four finger gestures work very reliably. The touchpad by comparison is a joy under Mac OS. Add to that the awful chiclet design - I kept missing keys - and I felt quite badly hampered by it. No Delete key, you have to press Shift-Backspace instead. Pause/Break, Print Screen (as far as I remember), Insert. In general there are also keys missing on the Mac keyboard. I have software that makes use of the function keys and find the gap between every 4 function keys, missing on the Mac, extremely helpful for blind typing. I'm used to the layout, even though slightly changed on the T410s. Ultimately my main reason for choosing the T410s was the keyboard. I am a long-standing (25 years) DOS / Windows user and cannot live without Windows for professional reasons, so that also factored into it. Long story short, I sold the Macbook (13" unibody, 2009 model) and kept the Thinkpad T410s, but this is a very personal decision. I have been there almost exactly, having had both. Also let me know if there are any gotchas that I haven't considered in my decision process. Please share your thoughts on all of this. I would get the 3 year warranty with either. I can get the IBM retiree price if such a thing is still offered, so that may drop the price a bit. I haven't checked prices on the T410s, but when I configure one on the web, it gets be be more expensive than the macbook pro (I'm trying to get the best configuration with respect to graphics and SSD on both, and I believe the 410s has an option for better graphics than the macbook pro). Familiarity with Windows and all of my apps would just run (although I'd be new to Windows 7). ![]() Better mouse (but I would probably have to learn how to use it to get the most out of it). Better overall quality (although some people seem to be complaining about sharp edges). My reasons for considering a mac is that everyone I know that has one swears by it - never crashes, great battery life, etc.įrom my preliminary research, it looks like: Plus getting a unix shell prompt straight out of the box is cool! I have a few apps that only run on windows, but I could probably live without those. I've never used a mac, so I'll have a learning curve there, but I figure that should be fun. Nothing wrong with the machine yet, but I don't want to wait until that happens. I'm currently a T60 user and that has served me well for the last 4 1/2 years. There have to be others on here that were in a similar situation, so please share - which did you choose and why? I'm trying to decide between one of these for my next laptop.

One goal of the Performance Division was to make the Red Line Ion capable on a racetrack, with brakes that don't fade after a few laps of hard driving. Spring and damping rates, as well as the bushings and anti-roll bars, have all been considerably firmed, and the rear axle is a heavy-duty unit taken from GM's upcoming Delta platform, on stiffened trailing arms. No modifications were needed to the unit-body chassis, but the Red Line suspension has been thoroughly tweaked. What's more, heavy-duty wheel bearings cope with the added power, as do 5-lug hubs. Although its linkage is a bit clunky, the gearbox delivers power to the wheels via equal-length halfshafts that minimize torque steer. Measured by GM's clock, the Red Line Ion hits 60 mph in a scant 6.3 seconds and the quarter mile in 14.8, and achieves a top speed of 144 mph.īorrowing more from GM's global parts bin, Saturn also employs close-ratio 5-speed manual transaxle in the Red Line. At peak boost, the transverse powerplant puts out 205 bhp at 5600 rpm and 200 lb.-ft. And at $20,000, it's a heck of a bargain, a 205-bhp coupe that benefits from a sporty chassis and great brakes tuned and developed at the Nürburgring.Īlthough GM calls it an Ecotec, the Red Line's 2.0-liter engine is actually based on the aluminum long-block of the, a twincam inline-4 with oil-cooled pistons and sodium-filled valves to help it cope with 12 psi of intercooled boost, courtesy of a large Eaton Roots-type blower normally used on GM's supercharged 3800 V-6. That's right, the Red Line has that kind of wheel-spinning power, and all it takes is one stint in this new front-driver to learn that GM's Performance Division has built a car that deserves a spot on the performance podium right between the and the Dodge SRT-4. A word to the wise, though: You might steer clear of the new Red Line Ion, because this car makes even the best of kids suddenly feel the urge to put down a pair of black stripes on the pavement just outside the study hall. As new cars go, it's affordable and fuel efficient, plus it's hip, what with its center-mounted instruments, unconventional rear doors and optional XM satellite radio. The big M-B was inexpensive, well-built, slow and safe, largely because it was constructed like a tank.įor different reasons, entry-level Ion also shines as off-to-college transport. If so, no big deal, I bought the seats cheap enough that I can resell them, Ion people still love them.When my niece Lizzy headed off to college, her dad gave her a 1981 Mercedes-Benz 300D for all the right reasons. I will post the progress when I get started. While Ihave thought about fabricating some bracket adapters, I think I will just buy the Goodwin seat brackets. I have not posted any photos yet - have not had the time to dothe install. Will loose the side airbags, but i will still have the stock seats when needed. Heighth, I am estimating is about an inch to 1.5 inch higher. I do not have the measurements handy - but the width is about the same as stock. Second, from my measurements, they will fit. Now I know - these are not the same recarros as found in your higher priced Italian sports cars. I was able to measure and give them a good "test sit". Found them on E-bay at a fairly local auto recycle center. So after looking at a number of options -and doing a lot of measurements - i bought a set of used Saturn Ion Redline Recarros. ![]() I am looking for alternatives that don't look all that bad at REASONABLE cost.Jon 01 LSĪs I have posted on the forum, I have not been satisfied with the seats in my NC. Here in South Florida where it is frequently in the mid to upper 90's, top down you get nasty burns with the leather if your wearing shorts, and who wears long pants in South Florida?. and as I said they come in a tan cloth instead of the leather. Everyones tastes are different and what someone else likes ,others may not. The seats are actually more comfortable than the Miata's are by a long shot. they might sit slightly higher in the bottom than the Miata originals ( foam-ectomy possible on these as well as the Miata seats), I don't know as I haven't yet measured one. If these would work they could be bought together used for about 200 bucks. I have an 01 with the surfboard seats ( as every one refers to them on here), have had them apart a few times so I do know how the pan design is and rails attach, and have recovered the factory leather once already and don't want to go that route again for cost reasons. I was just putting this out there that these might be an alternative to expensive Recaro's. Basic comparison chart of free video editing softwareīasic video/audio effects parameter setting, video enhance, watermark (text/ picture) 10 best free video editing software reviewĪfter getting the basic knowledge of the essential video tools that video editor would offer, let's introduce 10 great free video editing applications for your reference and hope you can get the one for your current use.

![]() Never before have digital tools been so responsive to us, nor we to our tools. But that’s not the inevitable, or even most likely, outcome. ![]() This is raising reasonable fears that AI will ultimately replace human workers throughout the economy. The PrescriptionĬompanies should reimagine their business processes, focusing on using AI to achieve more operational flexibility or speed, greater scale, better decision making, or increased personalization of products and services.Īrtificial intelligence is becoming good at many “human” jobs-diagnosing disease, translating languages, providing customer service-and it’s improving fast. AI, in turn, can enhance humans’ cognitive skills and creativity, free workers from low-level tasks, and extend their physical capabilities. People are needed to train machines, explain their outputs, and ensure their responsible use. The DetailsĬompanies see the biggest performance gains when humans and smart machines collaborate. But many more should follow their example.Īrtificial intelligence is transforming business-and having the most significant impact when it augments human workers instead of replacing them. The authors describe how a number of firms are already taking these steps and optimizing collaborative intelligence. That will mean not only implementing AI technology but also developing employees who can work effectively at the human-machine interface. ![]() After deciding what needs improvement-their operational flexibility, speed, or scalability their decision making or their ability to personalize products and services-they can devise appropriate solutions. To get the most out of AI, companies need to redesign their business processes. AI agents, in turn, can assist people with information gathering, data crunching, routine customer service, and physical labor, thereby freeing them for higher-level tasks that require leadership, creative thinking, judgment, and other human skills. People need to train AI agents, explain their outputs, and make sure they are used responsibly. Their research, involving 1,500 firms in a range of industries, shows that the biggest performance improvements come when humans and smart machines work together, enhancing each other’s strengths. In fact, companies that automate their operations mainly to cut their workforces will see only short-term productivity gains, say the authors. Artificial intelligence is transforming all sectors of the economy, but there’s no reason to fear that robots will replace all human employees. ![]() Steve was the Treasurer, and a member of the supervisory committee and served on the Board of Directors of a local large credit union.Īt Nichols Investment Group, Steve continues to work with individuals and businesses to formulate plans which will assist each client in reaching their investment objectives.

Park runs or World Cup circuit, Session finds the fast on the rowdiest trails with a new high-pivot frame design, 200mm of travel, and the world’s best suspension tech. The bike also appears to be every bit as customisable as it is capable and even though it looks very different to the previous Session it’s evident that it builds on the foundations laid down by over a decade of racing at the very highest level. home Looks like a Session or does it The benchmark of downhill mountain bikes is back with a whole new lookand a whole lot of new speed to go with it. If you want to go down the custom build route there’s also a frame only option for £2,750. So the new Trek Session is packed with innovative features and the alloy frame certainly keeps the pricing competitive with the top end Session 9 at £6,300 and the entry-level Session 8 at £4,500. ![]() Flip the shock Mino Link to the rearward setting and the total progression increases to 25% to better resist bottoming when used with a coil sprung shock. In the forward position the Session has 20% total progression making it ideal for air-sprung shocks. Rather than striking a compromise between the most effective progression rate for either air or coil shocks, the new Trek Session has a second Mino Link in the lower shock mount that offers two distinct progression settings. And unlike some idler designs, the main pivot piston on the new Session is not so high as to give a completely rearward axle path. Why introduce the additional complexity of an idler? Well, the science behind the more rearward axle path clearly shows that it reduces the peak vertical velocity of the rear wheel, or to put it another way, it gives the wheel more time to climb the bump. In fact, the new Session is a hybrid of old and new, combining the current ABP suspension layout with the higher pivot and idler of old to produce a 200mm travel 29er downhill race bike that can also be adapted for events like Red Bull Rampage with a few tweaks that we’ll get to in just a minute. Backwards to the rearward axle path and idler design of the original Session 10 and the Diesel before that. ![]() But at the performance end of downhill racing time rests for no one, so instead of polishing the brass in its sizeable trophy cabinet Trek is going after more titles.Īnd to do that it’s actually looking backwards. With such an impressive list of palmares, Trek could easily be forgiven for taking the “if it ain’t broken, why fix it?” approach. Leverage curve changes via lower flipchip ![]() Shortcuts in Drupal Console are like aliases in Drush and you can use them for some commands to save on time typing. You can make and install a whole new site with Drupal Console, but in this series, we are focused on creating new modules, so I’m going to assume you already have a Drupal 8 site up and running in the development environment of your choice. Run drupal list to see available commands. To run it, simply run drupal in the command line. You will see a list of basic commands that you can run. Now you should be able to run the Drupal command. There are installation instructions for Mac/Linux here and Windows here. If you get stuck installing it, or want more information, check out the Drupal Console website. Make it executable: chmod +x /usr/local/bin/drupal.Move it to your local bin, so that it can be used anywhere on your system: mv drupal.phar /usr/local/bin/drupal.Use curl to get drupal.phar: curl -L -o drupal.phar.You need to run three commands to install the Drupal Console. This saves you a lot of time - giving you more time to focus on the business logic of your module. Unlike Drush, Drupal Console can also be used to generate module files’ boilerplate code out of the box with no other modules needed. You can use it to rebuild caches, connect to databases and install modules. In many ways, the Drupal Console is similar to Drush. ![]() What is the Drupal Console?ĭrupal Console is a new Command Line Interface (CLI) for Drupal, built specifically for Drupal 8 (based on the Symfony Console component). It’s an exciting and fun time to be involved in Drupal. The Drupal Console can be used to generate a lot of the boilerplate code and files that you need to create Drupal 8 modules.īefore we get started, let’s take a moment to thank everyone who has been involved in making Drupal 8 and the Drupal Console. It can be made easier by a new tool - the Drupal Console. And getting started is not as difficult as you might fear. Once you start developing Drupal 8 modules, the new concepts will start to click. If you are feeling anxious about it, the most important thing is to start somewhere. Now we have an enterprise level application that we can all use and benefit from - this is a huge boost for our clients and employers. Drupal 8 is going to revolutionise the way we build websites. Drupal has so many cutting edge features that would previously only have been available to enterprise applications. It is new, it is fresh and it brings a lot more power to sites of all sizes. Whether you’re still learning Drupal 7 module development or are more experienced, Drupal 8 represents a significant shift in the underlying architecture and the way modules are constructed.Īnd now is the time to learn Drupal 8 module development. Developing custom modules in Drupal 8 is a daunting prospect for many. It is important to have your slate roof inspected by a professional at least once a year to check for any damage or wear.
