HMMMM. http://marvel.com/universe/Mandarin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandarin_%28comics%29 What I love about Marvel is the characters are rarely one dimensional. Not sure a bad guy that looses his fortune to Communism is really a racial stereotype. Character was created in 1964.

I hope they aren't killing Pepper off. Why wouldn't they call the Mandarin the Mandarin? Yes the 10 rings, and the guy in the background with the bald head in the first movie are a bit of a clue. Been watching Glee. Fun. The Voice marathon last night. Arrow seems to be very popular, and not...

Galaxy 3S update from those that have them? HTC updates?

Waze, or how to eat up a lot of 200MB of band width, fast. I've used Waze for a bit, and I'll being pay for it this month. Here is my take: Fun toy. Gives you a chance to interact with other drivers, sort of a social driving/data network in the Bay Area. As I said earlier, it consumes...

Anyone used Waze? Trying to figure out how to combine it with a radar detector. New car is a bit faster then the Toyota. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waze http://www.waze.com/ So far not really sold on the free GPS. Last night it wanted to turn a 45 minute drive to another route, 1 hour 15...

Sorry. Wrong thread.

The Avengers characters changed many times. The group went from being able to battle other worlds, to barely strong enough to battle Iron Man, or actually less. Hawkeye and the Black Widow gave the group vulnerability, yet they also rise to take human abilities to extremes. Sort of the Bob...

Panasonic owner here. CF-51's. Look on ebay, and you can find running ones for around 100-150 dollars, most without some features. That said, even though Panasonic laptops appear under powered, and over priced, the software is tailored well to the hardware, and performance is not an issue. 3...

Watched the new Snow White and the Huntsman. Graphics are OK. They do a really good job of portraying the bad guys as totally bad, and you really want them dead as the movie goes on. The romance scenes are really slow, and the girl looks a bit like Joan of Arc with long hair. Theron is very...

I was looking at OneNote, and used it in school for awhile. Only problem is I noticed something about after 500 entries on the cloud it wasn't free anymore? Anything on this? Wouldn't like to get used to using it on my phone and stuff, and then have to pay for it.

I'm wondering if anyone has used OneNote, Windows Live Essentials 2011, and the MSFT skydrive. How it's worked? It appears Essentials is free, and it gives you a movie editor and photo editor? Sounds too good to be true.

This looks a LOT like my setup. The top bar was along the roof line, out of the way, and out of reach. There is no reason the cage couldn't be done without the horizontal brace, but mine did have one, making the back seat non-functional, and the seats were pulled, and a storage area was in back...

Whatever. My mustang had a roll cage in it. We used Scheel racing seats that held you in place with a little more edge then these: http://image.superstreetonline.com/f/9269126+w750+st0/130_0801_06_z+nissan_350z+recaro_racing_seats.jpg http://www.elephantmotorsports.com/images/get/152/.jpg The...

Fury and Cap teamed up a number of times. I didn't see Sam Jackson in the Captain America movie. Wonder why?

DH wasn't born when I was reading Sgt. Fury comics. No dice.

Fast Five. Smoking. Tyrese Gibson is great, The entire crew is great. Great movie.

http://www.roadandtrack.com/var/ezflow_site/storage_RT_NEW/storage/original/application/c8865c72826bc5a11ecd847d352b1192.pdf Good stuff. Look at rear ends, and gear max speeds.

If you are really concerned about safety: Buy the car. Find a serious welder, and have him install a roll cage, ala nascar. Racing Nomex seats, 5 or 6 point harness, etc. My view on 1/4 mile times: The new cars are really good because they are using fantastic, sticky tires. I looked at the...

I pretty much stopped reading comics when they went over 35 cents. I don't know how kids pay 3-4 dollars a comic, and collect anything. Mercutio, thank you for the update and the history. I really enjoy the dead pan humor of the Black Widow not understanding the subtle comments Tony Stark...

I just got the Avengers. I've been watching it for 3 nights, over and over. The combination of violence, humor, and the characters I've been familiar with from the 60's make this a GREAT movie. They do justice to ALL the characters. Scenes I love. Hulk hits Thor hard. Thor comes through, wipes...

System restore worked. I have a copy of Acronis around here, but, IIRC it doesn't like 64 bit 7.

Bozo: Click here to see it: http://startsear.ch/?aff=1 I just hate browser redirects, or any kind of virus/malware. I went Mercutio's way, and used both in safe mode. No cigar. Then system restore sprouted in my head.

System Restore worked.

First ran Spybot and Malwarebytes in Safemode. Startup page is now: http://startsear.ch/?aff=1 on both browsers.

Hi Can't get rid of this POS. It hijacks both browsers, IE and Firefox to http://startpins.com/? I've blocked it on Firefox with BlockSite 0.7.1.1. However, it reappears after being cleaned when I restart on IE. I'ves used Spybot, Nod32, Malwarebytes, TSSbootcleaner. Topmedia is the...

A bit of a side note. I'm now 16 on our group. One of my friends is living at Stanford Med center. He has multiple melinoma(SP?) He also has Kaiser, and, he's been living at Stanford Medical center. The chemo, and treatments make him a drug addict, mainly morphine, in intense pain, and barely...

A few, quick facts. 50% of marriages end in divorce. What is TN law? Go down to your local court house. Introduce yourself to the judges that do divorces. Take them out for drinks. Decide if you want that person, or persons, to have total control over your life for the REST of your life, or at...

Our area isn't bad. I've noticed a couple volts on my UPS. Won't hurt for the Beast to have a Voltage Regulator. APC Line R 1200. The power supply was fine. The guy probably banged it in moving, or threw it because the buttons are hard to figure out, etc. I've got another like it, been working...

Guy lives in Oakland. Their power fluctuates pretty badly, late at night, much like Berkeley. Ours seems to go off same time every two weeks, 7AM for some reason. Wiring in these buildings is from about 1965. Not so good. I plugged the UPS into the Voltage Regulator. I think I'll suggest the...

Hi Wondering what you would suggest? Home useage. GS

I'm down to changing the Feather's every Sunday. Great deal. Still burning through my shaving cream from Costco. Gel stuff from Gilette. Use the straight razor for under my nose, and I still have the single edge safety razor, but, I should probably by another at some point.

Anyone watched the new Spiderman movie? It's getting great reviews...

Turns out its 105k miles. Banged right rear fender. May need a top when it starts raining. Mediocre gas mileage. 15 in town, better on the freeway, maybe 25. We'll see tomorrow. The top is nice when it's 105 degrees, like the last couple days. Seems the way to sell a 2-4k car is to get new...

Seems it's a cougar cruizer. They love it.

For a stop gap I found a Chrysler Sebring from a Mechanic. 124k, 2000 year, in good to excellent condition. Problem is, it's a convertible, and it gets bad gas mileage. Probably be looking for something else as soon as I get it. Price is excellent, about what it's worth as a trade in. At least...

Enterprise and Budget rental. I'm trying to find something I like, and find out the plus and minus of each model. I like the size of the Focus, but the engine gets 25 miles to a gallon, and the gears are too high for me.

Maxburn: Been driving the Ford Focus 2013 this week, last week 2012. I use the Sport mode shifting a lot. What are they thinking? They put the shift button on the gear shift, meaning with a close ratio, accelerating hard, one hand is off the steering wheel? That's like a law suit waiting to...

I've got near 8 shaves out of the last feather. Not as close as the first 5, but enough for government work.

I went with a CF-51 laptop. Cost about 130 dollars off ebay. Twice as fast as my original plus using the Kingspec SSD. Works for what I'm using it for. The HTPC continues to work.

That's for a VERY close shave, every time. I can stretch a couple more out of the blades if I shave often. Maybe I have a stubborn beard?

Update: I now have a Sandal smell shaving lather, and a brush. I'm using that over hair conditioner, Gillette foam Gel, then on top the Sandal lather. That is working. The shaving lather is nice because it's hot and can be reapplied for the second pass. I also bought some Personna shaping...

http://www.volcomfijipro.com/live/ http://www.surfline.com/surfdata/lola_surf_model.cfm?id=8493 This is a giant swell. Biggest ever for a Pro ASP Surf contest to my knowledge. Tavarua, Cloudbreak, is unique in that it's both huge, hollow and lined up. It's not just a peak you can get out of...

I jumped on the CFL bandwagon at the start. That whole batch failed, within 2 years. The new ones are far cheaper, seem to use less energy, and combined with the LED's have dropped my energy bill by 60%, or more.

New PG&E bill. 20.00 dollars! WTF? How can moving to LED and MFL's make THAT much of a difference? When the house was all MFL the cost was about 50.00. Figured it didn't make that much of a difference. I'm suspecting that the power draw for MFL starting up is a problem, since I rarely leave...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kztiseGvvis These SATA bays have been the best I've tried. I combine that with one of the toasters Mercutio suggests. I don't see why you couldn't buy two toasters or more toasters and run them through the USB ports. As for the used raid card in SATA: I haven't...

Even if they don't eat you, being a chew toy for a great white will kill you ;-)
