GTX 260 Re-paste with Confusing Results
(04 May 2009)
I finally updated the video card shown in sig to a GTX 260 Core 216 (temp upgrade as I'm waiting on the HD 5000 series). Of course I couldn't leave well enough alone and decided to take the card apart and apply new paste (Arctic Cooling MX2) to it. In what has to be one of the greatest displays of irony the idle/load temps went up instead of down. This flies in the face of countless re-pasting I've done in the past 10 years.
Initially the results looked great:

Experimenting with off camera flash
(05 May 2009)
A couple of years ago I got a speedlight to mount in the hotshoe of my digital camera. This got a lot of use as fill light for backlit daytime photos and I was pretty happy with the results. It gave me detail in shadow areas that would otherwise be underexposed. Unfortunately, mounting a powerful flash so close to the camera lens also flattens out all textural information you would get from having those shadows. Another side effect was the bright flare from any reflectorized surfaces such as lic...

Engine Tuning Tech Tips
By: Ron Paris
We get dozens of tuning questions from around the world at Paris racing daily. The number one questions is, were do I set my needles on the carb? Unfortunately there is no such thing as a definitive universal setting for any engine! Every application will have its own unique requirements, even two IDENTICAL set ups can and most likely will have at least slightly different settings.
I would like to...

5 Superpowers Science Will Give Us in Our Lifetime
By Luis Prada
Every one of us once dreamed of donning some spandex pants and taking our brand of renegade crime fighting to the streets. The only problem was our total lack of super powers, and the fact that when we blasted ourselves with gamma radiation we only got a super-powered tumor that becomes more malignant when angered.
Recent scientific breakthroughs are changing that. Within our lifetimes we just might be able to see mankind do the th...
