Certainly there are worse things than being inconsistent. Like being consistently wrong! (Not you, of course) But I guess this means you'll have to stop cheering for your cricket team,no. When I hear people say they are proud to be $, I always interpret it to mean they are grateful and...

I'm not offended Coug. I pity crackpots. :P Though it's funny how you can conjure all of this knowledge about what the Pres motivations might be. As we say, "The proof is in the pudding." PS. I don't even watch TV much less CNN. I make up my mind on a logical basis not based on drama.

Was the 2000GB drive supposed to be $2400? Do you want the poll edited?

Maine? I think he's talking about Greenland. Thule Air Force base.

How does MS dynamic disk function handle fragmentation? Does the OS try to keep parts of the file together or is it possible that you could end up part of the 1E6th file on the first and part on the last drive?

Are you aware of Irfanview? Maybe you will find some features you like.

For some really fast DLing get a download manager that will segment files. It's no big deal for files under 30MB or so but really handy for ISOs and such.

Yeah the PCI connector sharing a slot with the ISA connector. That makes sense.

How about camels? Or on a float in a parade?

I have a leaky rear main seal and I'm burning the oil off the clutch plate. Thats how I justify it anyway. I'm pretty careful these days because of the fragility of the vehicle and lack of depth ni the pocketbook. FWIW, I've been looking at the post '94 32*is and the VW VR6. It just depends on...

Aye, they must grow 'em extra perceptive on the left coast. PS. Who was the Aussie from Perth?

And to answer your original question: you can try channel bonding like Merc does.

Let's see if I can use my new vocabulary properly. Due to excessive power-shifting, these days I have to double-clutch due to half destroyed synchros. I don't have to hold it in gear regularly but once a quarter or so it slips out of gear. I now shift more softly and feather the clutch much...

I'm not sure I understand the definitions of feathering, double-clutching and power shifting. I have an idea but anybody wanna fill me in?

If you are careful you may be able to get some significant miles out of it yet. My old car ran for three years after choking on some agua. The number four piston head was cracked but it did keep running.

:)

I bet it has to do with differentiating them from ISA cards which do face up. Originally, at least.

Does the download program you are using now let you resume downloads you started before your last reboot? If not, you need a new DL manager.

What Gary is saying is that the engine is reacting to the momentum of the flywheel. If the car were not in gear and the flywheel and crank weighed very little then the engine would not stress the motor mounts as much. That said, why would one want to upgrade (or down-grade I guess) motor mounts.

I can understand your waryness. There is bound to be some suspicion. I feel that although Saddam himself is secular he would use this trigger you meantion to unit muslims for his own ends. I won't lie to you. There is fear that the muslim world will unite in a cause larger than any one nation...

I understnad the difference to be in the way the blades of the fan are shaped possibly as well as the way the outer cylinder of the air path is shaped. Supposed to cause less turbulance and thus quieter operation.

I gathered that. What I see is the intentional perpetuation by Saddam of the Israel-Palestinian crisis. And why would he care? Some would explain his interest as Islamic "all for one and one for all". I submit that Saddam would like to use the tool of Muslim unification to reunite the lands of...

Until we start talking about turbo-diesels. Diesels have tons of low end torque and the turbo helps later in the rev range. Diesels sip gas and the latest VW engines have greatly reduced the problems that have been associated with diesels in the past. Diesel gas also tends to fluctuate in price...

low rpms being what's normal to take off from a stop light.

IIRC, no low displacement engine will have lots of torque at low RPMs. The turbo will not have even spun up yet. If you rev the engine to get torque you run the risk of prematurely burning up the clutch.

zx, For kicks, do some research on Saddam's quest to become a modern day Nebuchadnezzar. This is really what has the other Arab countries frearful of him.

I think it would be a mistake to assume that a determined individual or group will not eventually be able to either sneak something in or construct something in-country. Especially if we have any intension of living as a free society. Stealing a bunch of jets took more logistics.

I don't disagree that terrorism has existed for a while. However, terrorism has been primarily in the name of a country or a revolution of a country. The new phenomena is terrorism in the name of an idea. An idea which has no home. Which crosses boundries and ethnic groups. An idea whos goal is...

You do not know the definition of terrorism. At least part of it, is targetting civilians. What happened in '67 (?) is irrelevant at this juncture.

You do not know the definition of terrorism and therefore state-sponsored terrorism.

Only one! If you see another three, run. Don't walk, run.

Ts. I'm honored you have once again graced your sig space with one of my posts.

Different countries require different approaches. Iran, Iraq and N. Korea are the three "axis of evil" countries. Even if we believe that the correct approach to Iraq is war; it would be incorect to assume that the same approach is appropriate for Iran. As state sponsors of terrorism, this...

Iraq supports Palestinian terrorism. This makes it a state sponsor of terrorism. Isn't that enough? What more do you wnat?

Are you saying that true sports cars only come in RWD or that they have to be RWD? If the latter, technically why? Other than the weight shift to the rear on take-off I don't see it.

Iraq is a state sponsor of terrorism. The fellers who flew the aluminum birds into WTC were terrorists. Bush has said that state sponsors of terrorism will not be allowed to stand. There's a lot of "anything".

A FWD vehicle is much more predictable at the edge of the envelope in turns. You really have to know your vehicle if it's RWD.

TY TY TY. I've been using backspace and didn't have a shortcut for forward.

No, not really. Coug lives a life of extravagence; where anything can be replaced on a whim. Right, Coug. :P

From Part 6: THE THREAT OF A "ROGUE" NUCLEAR STRIKE If we are to understand the measure of the present threat that we must realize that we are not fighting a Clausewitzian war, and there are immense dangers ahead of us if we do not squarely face the implications of this fact: they are not...

Which pin was it?

I can see why you Aussies are so bend out of shape. At the very least your government should be explaining to your near neighbors what differentiates them from Iraq with regards to Aus policy.

This is traditional 'just war doctrine'. Traditional just war doctrine is based in the supposition that soveriegn states will operate under certain predictable rules. These days are unprecedented. You can not apply just war doctrine to a state who refuses to play by the 'rules' much less an...

Probably the wrong place to put this but anyway: I have noticed that some web pages that ignore the font size adjustment by IE on display will honor the adjustment when printing the web page. Quirky but maybe handy.

Most of this was over my head but it was as interesting as it is long. http://www.techcentralstation.com/1051/defensewrapper.jsp?PID=1051-350&CID=1051-031103A Unless we are prepared to look seriously at the true stakes involved in the Bush administration's coming world-historical gamble, we...

Oh. For some reason I remembered it as a '60s or '70s Mustang. '97, old, ha. That's almost 10 years newer than my car.

Tim, Are you the one that used to have the old Mustang?

Maybe its because we still have the power supplies "that date back to the days when pc magazine actually meant something to people". They just keep running, fans and all. That's not to say they are not overpriced. Antec TP PSs came with my Antec cases I bought. They got louder quicker. Nothing a...
