Im not an expert or anything, and I'm sure someone will step in if i'm wrong. But, that appears to be a glaze of sorts (used when firing in a kiln and then it becomes hardened and glossy). You want something more like an automotive clear coat. look into maybe "Killer Cans"(pricey but the best you can prolly get in spray paint) or just step into the spray paint section at walmart and ask for an automotive clear coat. At least get something designed for plastics. You might also wanna give This STICKY a read through. edit: reading > me that can is non-firing, but still the same concept. For a car you want automotive grade or something weather resistant.

They are basically a big iTouch yes, but it just seems.... better? I dunno, my college's engineering department bought one for fun and I work in that department so... yeah, I'm playing with the iPad all the time. Its definitely a cool gadget. Congrats Steve! -

Homemade Headphones.
sven6977 replied to BanginOnABudget's topic in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"
Unfortunately, no I haven't made my own set and have had bad experiences with fixing them. I tried to fix my roommates Bose headphones for instance... They use some cotton/carbon/copper wiring that I could not get to solder, it was unlike anything I saw before. I told him I could fix and trashed em. but building a pair sounds like fun now!! -

C Programmers! I need help bad
sven6977 replied to IH8PunkRok's topic in Computer Talk - News, technology, advice
That is true, but in c++ you can still use that shit and it will still work. I was just thinking that maybe he was getting some bad help from online forums or accidentally looked up the wrong thing. I have 0 experience with C, but a shit ton of C++. And tbh, i didn't read through his entire code. I only made it through his header and noticed he was missing any type of inclusion for a file system. edit: now looking through his code, i do see his use of the oldstyle file system. I will now leave this thread lol. Good luck Matt. Sorry I can't help. -
C Programmers! I need help bad
sven6977 replied to IH8PunkRok's topic in Computer Talk - News, technology, advice
is this actually C or c++. I just wanna make sure. if its c++ i can help, if not it will just confuse the both of us if c++ you wanna #include <fstream> so you can pull the file from the user and then you can do your computations from their file using ifile and the extractor command, then use some if statements with counters and you will be all good. If it is actually c++ i can write out the code for you and it will make more sense than that jargon up there^^^ If not, I apologize for the waste of text lol -
TI-82 calculator
sven6977 replied to Loudintha509's topic in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"
just spend another 30 on top of the 83 and get the 89titanium from staples. You will never need another calculator again. It does 3d graphing, polar coords, parametric equations. It can differentiate and integrate like an asian on speed, and it also will handle any other calculations you can think of. ++it also comes with EE pro. (Electrical engineer pro which includes a lot of formulas that can be useful in this field and also with the electrical field in general). e.g. it has ohm's law and also AC-DC conversion equations, and the different equations related to A/B amplification. For 90 bucks you almost wont need the internet anymore imo... except to come to this forum of course edit: But if you're just looking to get a more basic calculator, just go with the 83. It'll be more useful than the 82 in the long run. -
probably. and omg, now that I'm an engineer I would kill for an old school one just to say I have one. Thats so badass. Granted they can't do the FFT or anything fancy and their clock is only like 125k. But still. ZOMG!!!

the wedding test

bahahahahahhahahahahahah effing great bro. I couldn't imagine a family that would actually do that though lol I would've been like.... wtf?????? -
lolled a bit. But yeah, I had an experience like that with a shop. They always catch you when you're either partially into an install, or are talking to the wrong person. In my experience there is no middle ground with local shops, there are either really friendly and great shops or assholish and terrible shops. They'll even try to tell an electrical engineer they don't know how to wire right

cool! did you glue it to the inside of the baffle or anything special?
