I can pop wheelies, but can't ride them for shit... Needs more practice, and a light bike that I don't mind dumping a few hundred times...

at 0600 their lazy asses should be out of bed... They post to be up cookin' brefass for somebody, so you're like an alarm clock... wooo wooo!

Any ground should do it, but when I do it i usually use one from the same 20 Pin, since that is essentially how the computer would do it when you push the button.

I'd probably suggest you combine them just for peace of mind, so you don't run the risk of putting too much current through any 1 wire...but I suspect it won't be a problem either way, and If it were me doing it, I probably wouldn't bother, and just run 1 to 1.

also keep in mind this note from the link mango posted (i've never used a Power supply this new for this purpose)

see that green wire in your first pic, cut the end off and connect it to any black in that loom. This will turn the power supply "on" If you want a switch to turn the power supply on and off, use a Single pole single throw switch between the green and any of the blacks. Then in your third pic use the Yellows for 12V+ and Blacks for Ground... reds are 5V+ and 3.3v+ if you want to 2 or 3 speed your fans (lower voltage, slower spin)

If they are riding left or right, I'll come in on the other side within view of their mirror. If they are going slower than me, I'll give a wave, change lanes and go around. If we come to a red light, I'll pull up along side for a quick chat. if it's a group, i'll usually chill a full length behind the sweeper, opposite side until there is room to go around the group.

if its through to the color, you're probably better off having it professionally fixed.

Yes, they did. The people at Boeing didn't design that plane as a weapon, the hijackers misused it as a weapon.

I'm extending nothing beyond that, Just the assertion that these weapons are designed FIRST and foremost as weapons, and their function as a weapon is their only viable utility. (other than exceptions regarding investments as collector items, and decorations) Nope, My mentor in college was a S&W engineer (why i picked that particular weapons manufacturer in the first place). There is no crowley-esque juices in the materials, but there is the clear shape, form, and functionality of a device designed to be used as a weapon, and is so specilaized in that use that there are few remnants of other viable uses remaining... it's simply too specialized as a piece of hardware. Could you use it as a hammer? certainly you could, but that is clearly outside of it's intended use. As for intimidation, that comes with it's design as a quick and efficient deadly weapon. Nearly anyone who might see you carrying it knows exactly what it is, and exactly what it does when you squeeze the trigger. They know that you are carrying a device that serves little other purpose than to cause deadly injury at a moments notice. That's a big part of why you might carry one is to intimidate other people who might have some designs on your property. One of the things that professor loved to rant about was tort reform. He often spent entire classes carrying on about how the things he designed would get misused, and predictably in that misuse people would injure themselves, and try to sue his company. He was the expert witness on a few of these cases. One example he loved to bring up was a police baton with a tear gas canister loaded into the end of it. This device was designed and used for beating violent suspects into submission, and if that wasn't working, you could flip a switch and push a button, this would set off a primer which fired off a tear gas canister that was specially designed for this baton. One officer decided that the tear gas canister was awfully similar in shape and size to a shotgun slug, so he decided to load one in and fire it off... Predictably, this didn't end well, the whole baton split banana peel style and lacerated his arm pretty badly. He then tried to sue S&W, claiming that the slug was overloaded, my professor countered that the plaintiff was overloaded, and the rest is history.

so you did use it to destroy those objects noted... paper targets and tin cans.. et all. To injure or kill mice and gophers, and to intimidate or injure someone who may want to make themselves welcome to the property you've earned... that's what they were designed for, and that's why you purchased them. a computer's design intent is to process data as quickly and efficiently as possible within the design parameters, and the individual programs loaded within the computer's software have their own specific design intent.. specific computers have more specific designs, for example, the targeting computer on a missile is built for the sole purpose of guiding that missile to it's target. I'm making no claims that the guns have a "will", or "juju" or "consciousness" (if you believe that to be my stance perhaps I'm not making myself clear), but that they have a clearly designed purpose. As an engineer, I'm quite familiar with the process of turning ideas into objects. It's my passion, it's what I've devoted my life to doing. Turning ideas into things that work. When the new Smith & Wesson handgun is presented, it will be the culmination of hours and hours of design work intended to make the best weapon possible within the parameters of the project. Accuracy, Precision, Damage, Conceal-ability, Functionality, these are all design elements that are maximized within the design intent of the weapon. If you're designing a go-cart, your first parameters are going to be things like Safety, Speed, Ruggedness, Ground Clearance, Power, Comfort, all maximized within the design of making a child's transportation device. You can't divorce a designed object from it's designed intent. I don't know how else to say it. Now if you're talking about things that are not designed, well then it's all subjective. Design intent is not subjective.The Engineers had a specific use in mind.

Both are easy to ride... one thrills me, the other generally bores me... the guy in that picture needs to learn what those lines mean.

Maybe we could have some kind of licensing program where you have to prove proficiency, and pass a test in order to legally drive a car on public roads...

You can't divorce an object from it's design intent without redesigning or re-purposing it... No superstition required. An airplane's purpose is to fly, it has to taxi as an additional function to be included in our airport infrastructure. it's sole purpose is to carry people and cargo through the air. That's why it has the wings it has. You could repurpose it as a house, but that's not the intent that the designers and builders constructed it for. The wings have a very specific design to lower the air pressure over the top to the point where the wing has enough lift at a certain speed to carry the objects attached into the air. What other use is there for a gun than to destroy, injure or intimidate? please tell me how YOU use a gun that includes none of those.

If these things came about naturally, I'd be behind that statement, but they don't. They begin as an idea, someone thinks them up, and when they think them up, they have a specific purpose in mind. As the process of developing, and refining takes place, the creation in question becomes more efficient at executing it's designed purpose. They are weapons, they were designed as weapons, they were refined as weapons, and they serve little other purpose than to intimidate, to destroy, and to injure.

True, an automobile can be misused as a weapon, but it was designed as transportation.

Similar issue, was a guy on a goldwing. I'm headed up 46 on the xx, doing about 60. This guy blows by me doing 80-85 in my lane. I say "ok, guess we're moving now" and climb up behind him. We're doing 80 to 90, and we come up to a "S" curve, 35 mph suggested, right first, he completely blows the turn and hits the opposite white line before making his way back into the correct lane...Nuts.

Yep, still a weapon in that case.

Well in that case they are using it for an investment, and congratulations, that is the first viable utility I've heard regarding guns that didn't involve their use as a weapon.

Prison sentences?Morals? Religion? Guess it depends. But shooting someone isn't the only use for a gun, they are also great for intimidation.

But they purchased them with every intention of actually using them, whether they are happy about the circumstances surrounding the use is a different issue.

You intend to use those things, just as gun owners intend to use their guns. You didn't buy that wind up radio thinking "man, I'm never going to fucking use this, this shit is gonna rust away in my basement" No, probably something more like. "Hell yeah, next time there is a bad storm and the power goes out, we're gonna be in the know cause of this kick ass radio"

So the question remains... Why not allow studies to track this information? If shootings are unrelated to the number of firearms, then the science would show that. I think it has to do with politics, and one particular political party, and their general lack of understanding of how science works.

Seems like a lot of work, but does look clean, I just cut off the connectors for the disk drive leads, and use the yellow and black for my 12v needs. Then use electrical taps to ground the green to one of the blacks on the board connector.

Someone hates Cafe bikes...
