    Myspace is more of a social networking site for teens and young adults. AFAIK, youtube just hosts videos for people.

    Why do I have crickets in my basement

    Small numbers of small spiders (like Pholcus phalangioides) and ants are normal and you will never get rid of them completly. I have never heard of crickets in a basement though. Fumigating is a good short-term solution but, if the crickets come back after you give it a go, I would talk to...

    Automotive Fuses from Harbor Freight

    When there are issues that local dealerships find, we have direct contact with them and can, on occasion, get directly involved to assist. You can tell the rating on the fuse by the color and I didn't include the picture of the box they came in becuause I don't currently have a way to host it...

    Automotive Fuses from Harbor Freight

    Complete BS and I resent the implication. This is yet another quality post by Bozo that I will have to blow out of the water in order to prevent the spread of bad information. The information I posted is being passed around by the electrical engineers in my building. In fact, if you cared to...

    Sorry to hear about your friend, Merc. I'm glad she's still around for you and that you have at least stopped by to check in. Hope to see you around here more in the future as your participation is definitely missed.

    Automotive Fuses from Harbor Freight

    Guys- Just a heads up if you ever happen to change a fuse in your car. Don't use any fuses purchased from Harbor Freight. Spend a little extra and get name brand, quality fuses...it's worth the peace of mind.

    New HDTV Purchase

    After spending over a year of free-time working on my basement, a $2,000 TV and other little toys would be the least of my worries. Needless to say, when I do a job like my basement, I do it right. :-)

    New HDTV Purchase

    I heard PS3 does HDMI 1.3. I'll have to see what happens with prices in the next month or two I guess. This is a once in a great while purchase for me so maybe I'll just splurge a little.

    Correct. But that seems like the only difference that could potentially matter to me. I don't fully understand the value of having HDMI 1.3 (if there is any real world benefit).

    Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the TV is going into a corner so that, in top view, the screen will make the hypotenuse of the triangle below. With a microdisplay, a large portion of the back the the TV (as well as the TV stand) should be able to fill in the corner where to two walls come...

    Depending on the size of the TV, about 6-8 feet. I was going to just buy my brother-in-laws 65" Toshiba TheaterWide RP CRT TV but that thing is just too damn big (6' wide, 2.2' deep) . By the time I angled it into the corner of the TV area, I would probably be able to only sit about 4 feet...

    I'm researching the purchase of an HDTV. Size is not an issue so I'm currently focused on finding a good 1080p 50" DLP micro-display. The newer ones with an LED light source (i.e. Samsung) sound very interesting to me. Anybody have any advice about HDTVs?

    Why C.A.F.E Standards are Dumb

    The only logical way to relatively quickly reduce oil consumption is to raise the price of oil. Not only will that cause people to be more efficient in their use of it but it will also encourage the development of alternative energy sources. Just trying to reduce consumption doesn't do...

    Why C.A.F.E Standards are Dumb

    I should have said upper structure exterior panels. Underbodies always use heavier gage metal but the reduction in mass would be similar (on a %age basis).

    Why C.A.F.E Standards are Dumb

    It's hard to put numbers to it since we've never engineered a body to meet the standards of yesterday, but, vehicles would be significantly lighter (by using lower gage higher strength materials) and cheaper (less material results in less cost). Bodies of yesteryear easily had panels that were...

    jtr- Why don't you just take it one step further. It really is big oil's fault for making oil/gasoline so cheap for so long. If gas would not have been $0.99 per gallon throughout the early 90's nobody would have been interested in SUVs. So, let's just make gas cheaper and regulate that more...
