I've kept my computer from going to sleep. Been running at around 400m a second for around 48 hours. Can't wait to see see how many cookies I have when I get home

Crutchfield is the best. I ordered a new car stereo yesterday at 4:10 PM and it was delivered today at 1:30 PM with no shipping charges. Finally gonna be able to listen to Spotify and whatnot in the car (assuming I don't botch the install, anyway).

I got the car thing mentioned here

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/19/xtre ... c-phone-c/

For $15, works great and its not apple specific, it comes with a iPhone charging cable, but the device just has a USB port for charging and the audio goes over Bluetooth. The hands free calling works well too on it.

I don't have much of a clue how to do any of that so I'm not sure how much help I'd be. But it sounds like fun!

I'm not sure what the factory speakers are. Whatever cheapo brand Subaru uses. The support dude at Crutchfield said it will work fine and should even make them sound better than they did with the stock radio. It came with a special wiring harness that's supposed to make it work.

word. just making sure its not a high end stereo that you're replacing. those bose/boston and other high end guys all run at a different ohm and are preamped in the head unit. a head unit you buy from crutchfield or the store isn't going to be preamped and they won't give enough power to the speakers. if its the cheapo stuff then you should be OK.

Ahh nice. Yeah when I bought the car they didn't have any sort of stereo upgrade available, so it's definitely nothing fancy.

Where'd you get it for $15? Amazon has it for $79

I dunno if you ever go on slickdeals.net, but they have a deal alert function where you can be notified when a deal for something specific comes up. You might wanna try that, I've been using them for years when I'm shopping for stuff to get a good price on things. Like right now, I want to get a roku, so I have an alert setup whenever a deal for a roku comes up I get an email so I can just keep tabs on what the prices are doing and then grab it when I find the deal I want.

So I misplaced my work keys earlier today. Our receptionist sent out an email just a few minutes ago that keys were found in the ladies room. They were my keys.

Umm...

It depends what you're going for. I know for meteorology the only real part that mattered was the math.
