My primary reasons for selling the Dewalt DW745 is because it cannot handle full size (4x8) sheets, and you won't be able to use a dado blade with it. Otherwise, it will cut straight and true. Yes, the saw is very loud, louder than my Bosch table saw! However, the dust collection works better on the Dewalt than on the Bosch (I need to make some improvements to the Bosch saw to get the dust collection to work at its full potential) Hope this helps!

I am exploring the idea of purchasing the Dewalt DW745 table saw and I noticed that you are using it for woodworking projects. The saw will be used for jewelry box projects, audio speaker cabinet construction, and small woodworking jigs made from 3/4" MDF and crosscut 2 X 4's. I have a 1/2" router as well as a palm router. I do not plan on ripping 4' X 8' sheet panels as I also have a circular saw. I own an Incra Miter v27 and can replace it's stock miter gauge with it.I also own the TS-Aligner system and can tune up/dial in the saw if need be. Assuming that the saw is properly tuned and the gear rod mod is done on the saw per Mr. Connor's user review on Amazon.com, do you believe that this saw would be appropriate for the woodworking uses I have outlined above? In simple terms, will the saw rip a straight and true cut? Is the saw loud? I ask these questions of you because most user reviews posted on the internet pertain to persons in the construction trades. User opinions from woodworkers regarding the saw's appropriateness for woodworking is very rare or missing. I hope to hear from you and your user opinions regarding this saw. Oh, nice tenon jig. Happy Thanksgiving.

As a matter of facts, I chose a very similar loading strategy in my jQuery loader jQl, with a fake jQuery object that catch all inlines <code>jQuery(function(){})</code> calls during loading. Here you can read more about it : <a href="http://www.yterium.net/jQl-an-asynchronous-jQuery-Loader" rel="nofollow">jQl-an-asynchronous-jQuery-Loader</a> Hi,

We've been testing Yahoo's mobile home page on Androids browser (we've enabled real time HTTP measurement from inside the browser). Anything you can do to make the page load faster would be welcome. Here's a "real time" HAR report (includes device data, carrier network, and geo-location) on Yahoo Mobile. http://www.5o9mm.com/har/viewer/v.pl?path=accounts/5o9/android-03-25-2011-22-17-46-GMT-m-yahoo-com.har Ad's, redirect and one particular image are causing the problems (plus the number of GET requests). And in case you're wondering Android does support up to 4 connections but the webkit piece of the browser (presentation layer) is single threaded only. Cheers, Peter Julien,

Congrats on finishing your Herschel 400. You did it a lot quicker than I managed it. It took me about 5 years to go through the list- finishing up the last of the fall objects in Oct of 2008. I accomplished most of it with my old C-8 and a 28mm Plossl with a 56 minute TFOV. There were about 40 objects which I could not confirm seeing with this one. I got those 40 when I went to a 12" Orion Intelliscope and the Orion Q70 eyepiece with a 1.49 deg TFOV. Dave M. CCAS Julian:

So you should converte this file to the system default encoding (e.g. ISO-8859-1) or explicitly setting YUICompressor charset param to the UTF-8 for this file.
