 It's often times hard to understand exactly what Phoronix is talking about,but this article is fairly clear

I have been advising people to upgrade to the new ,38 kernel but I had noticed that my charge did not last as long; I thought it was just my usage pattern having changed thanks to the updates in the new kernel.  Come to find out that's not the case.  Best bet I guess is to keep a >,38 kernel for those times unplugged from the wall.

**edit**

Never again will I use that quick topic option.

How can CAT CDMA use the Android mascot when they don't even offer a smartphone (much less an Android based one)?  And rumour has it won't even activate one brought in from out of the country?

Back in the day (many moons ago now) I got started with a Crossman air rifle when I was just a bit older than my daughter is now.  I eventually earned enough for a 'real' one (Benjamin) and was pretty much hooked since then.  I did eventually get into rifles and to a less extent shotguns and pistols.

Was considering getting one for the daughter in LOS; what is the procedure?  In the States it's (was?) stupid simple...just pop down to the local store and pick out one that was within budget.  I'm assuming it's not so cut and dry in Thailand.  Can anyone provide pointers?

BTW, I understand that some will want to discuss neligent of a father I am and how children shouldn't have guns because that's their personal opinion.  I can respect that; I don't insist on your brats getting classical harp lessons so please don't intrude onto this thread waging your 'holy war' unless you have something to contribute.

As an aside; the plan was to build her level up over the years essentially following what I did.  Start off with the 0,177 wadcutters/hunting points, move up to a 10-22 (I had gone through three barrels by the time I graduated...is it legal to import aftermarket stocks/barrels to LOS?) and on to a Remington SPS 700 22-250 (absolute favourite rifle ever....nothing more contributing to a sense of satisfaction  than dropping woodchucks-groundhogs-tearing up the soybean seedlings on the other side of a 25 acre field ~320 meters....try it sometime it's superchallenging).  But with the price of ammo going the way it's going perhaps it will be better in 223?

Following the thread in regards to the 2011 Honda CBR 250R has led me to an interesting idea; why don't we as a forum get together and do a comparison amongst various bikes?  Obviously the Ninja 250 and the CBR 250 will need to be there.  Was also mulling over the idea of finding out how to get a Tiger Boxer 250 in on the fun.  Perhaps a CBR 150 from both generations?

I propose that we meet up at the track behind Seacon Square on Srinarkarin Road in Bang Na.  There we could establish baselines as far as manuaverability, braking, acceleration, etc.  Would be good since the track is so small and crappy I believe it would translate very well into what riders would experience in the city.  Getting done with that we could head off to a dyno shop and get all the bikes dyoned to put to bed claims of power.  Finally (most likely after eating something, we could do a high speed run and check the bikes' handling at those speeds.

Since obviously a rider will favour their bikes more than the competition's we'll need to come up with a way around that.  I think that everyone taking a turn on each bike with the results averaged out would probably be most fair.  For instance I would be worried about wiping out on someone else's bike and wouldn't push it as hard as my own; I'd suspect that other riders are of the same feeling.  If we could find an advanced rider, who is not biased, that would probably be even better since the differences between the bikes would be more pronounced.

If you're interested in this post a reply in this thread listing what you would be willing to bring.

I'd bring a modified Ninja 250R (Pirelli tyres, RaceTech fork springs, Power Commander, and hopefully by then an aftermarket pipe); by stock CBR 150 from the last generation is no longer of this world since the BIL wrecked it.
