    I do want to buy a used car

    Haha, no kidding. Regular maintenance fluids and other are about $50-100 every couple years Ball joints, cv shafts, tires and brakes are about $100/wheel every 5-10 years Engine and transmission are about $3000 each when needed.

    BTW DB, I thought the MSF course was VERY worthwhile.

    I do want to buy a used car

    An oil change only costs like $30. My time is more valuable than that. Plus I'm running 10k miles between changes so I only pay maybe 5 times a year. I'm coming up on the 180k maintenance interval in about a month. I'll have them flush and replace engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid...

    Merging two vintage systems for donation

    Have you checked into what shipping it will cost? Consider if your friend might get more value out of a donation of the shipping cost combined with his/her own money. I hate to see unused hardware go to waste too but sometimes it's just not worth it.

    Need an Amp

    I did some reading on the series mode surge supressors. Thanks, SD. Once of the limitations of MOV based devices is that every surge uses it up a little bit. Large surges more than small ones. In practice on good quality devices an MOV going bad is protected by a fuse and triggers a light on...

    Usually what they mean is that either will work at 16x alone but if you need to use both they will drop to 8x for the reason Merc gave.

    There is also something to be said for wanting the system fixed and also not wanting to be at a competitive disadvantage. Calling him a hypocrite is simplastic.

    Well that's disappointing. Please explain. Is the surge circuit not as good because of some design limitation or to keep costs down?

    Is there an aspect of this difference that is important other than the time lag? Is a corporation's finances more like a person or the government?

    America is ungovernable

    Acknowledged. Can the government just claim the money it has made as income? No, but it can reduce its debt that way. As money is added to the system out of thin air things begin to inflate. Inflation benefits those who owe fixed rate loans (mortgage holders and the treasury) at the detriment...

    America is ungovernable

    Time, you have stated that companies routinely borrow money and that governments can reasonably be expected to do the same. When does the amount or regularity with which a company borrows become a concern? How about a government? With the agreement that companies typically borrow either as a...

    Gmail on iPhone

    I don't think the IMAP protocol has the native ability to push. IICR, before Google had the exchange capability they would send a trigger message through Apple's push notification service to get the phone to initiate a connection back to the mail server. It never really worked very well but...

    Does Norway have the Death Penalty?

    Not to be glib, but if someone in prison wanted to no longer live there are many ways to accomplish that end either self inflicted or other provoked. Just snitching on somebody would get the job done.
