  1. i'm competent with CMS and have knowledge of HTML

    Have you thought about using the Joomla CMS?

    Check Out:

    http://www.rockettheme.com

    THey have a good selection of templates for Joomla.

    It'll be quite hard to start from scratch and make a competetive Web 2.0 website. Joomla and a good Template make easier, however.

    EDIT:

    Also, Stay away from GoDaddy!! They may seem like a good host, but you get what you pay for!

  2. Alright,

    Relatives computer is having issues. Troubling shooting 3 states away is so fun :wacko:

    Here's the deal. Their Dell 3000 goes from the Windows Loading screen, to just a blank screen (the monitor is still active) and never goes further. It will boot to safe mode.

    It has integrated graphics as well as a PCI video card. I had them enable the integrated graphics in the BIOS (that was fun) and plug the monitor into the motherboard. Still no change.

    Next we uninstalled the video drivers. No change. Updated the video drivers. No Change.

    Any ideas?

    EDIT:

    Also, the system restore fails. And, Ive been told the fan on the video card doesn't spin up when the power is turned on.... If that matters.

  3. Went up 40-60 cents today alone! All the stations raised prices 2-4 times. And that's only TODAY! Local news caster is predicting just over $5 in the morning! Jeesh. This is crap. Pure BS!

    Im sure glad both my vehicles happened to be full...

  4. Godwin's law.

    That's the one. Many thanks! :thumbsup:

    he only one that comes to mind was "Read the FAQ". This reply was normally seen on the linux section of TechTV.

    Half the the Linux/Tech Support section could be summed up as "Read The FAQ" or "Search!" :rolleyes::D

  5. What is the old term that used to be given to a message board thread when whatever the subject was, was compared to nazism, and as a result, climaxed? I know I saw it a few times on the old TTV forums, but for the life of me can't remember the term, or find it on Google.

  6. You can knock 'em all day long if you like, but ...

    Don't get me wrong. I love the car. I wouldnt be about to put this much time, energy, and money into it if I didn't. I just wish Ford would have thought this deisgn over a little bit...

    Is it a Maverick Grabber?

    Nah. Just a simple four door the an inline six.

  7. ... I'd like to punch you square in the mouth.

    That's right. Some great Ford emplyee decided to put vents in the cowling to allow fresh air into the car... THe prolbem? With air came water... and trash. The trash would get clogged up around the air vents under the dash and eventually rust them out. After the air vents rusted out, water would enter the cabin and eventually rust out the floor. THis design was on ALL Ford Mavericks, and a hand full of Mustangs.

    That's where I am at now. 1972 Ford Maverick with one large hole, and dozens of smaller ones :wacko:

    I started "My Project" today. Which is cutting out the floor and welding new floor pans in. Of course, no one makes reproduction floor pans for the Maverick... Gah.

    Yall pray for me.

  8. I'm out in what used to be the sticks. When I moved here there was no emissions testing. Then the population exploded and once the air quality reached a certain level of stinkiness emissions testing became required, AND everybody changed to 10% ethanol -- for air quality, they say. So if you're still rural it's gotta be somethin' else. It's cheaper for the refineries, I think, but ONLY due to tax subsidies, that ought to be reason enough for them to make the switch.

    Even when I had a junker it passed emissions tests, they must not be that tough. My impression is that if it runs OK it'll pass. If it's coughing and sputtering, probably not.

    I've never heard of any problems with 10% ethanol gas. At least not with cars that aren't considered antiques, and even those can be upgraded to accept it (for example, change hoses and seals, ethanol could "attack" older types).

    -----

    10% Ethanol won't attack hoses. Too small in quantity. It will however lower your gas milage. Ive noticed all the cheap gas stations, and Walmart, around here have E10 while the Chevron/Shell/Exxons don't. So, by getting the cheap gas, you're actualling paying more per mile driven. Ive tried to explain that to friends and family, but all they say is "Well, my car runs fine". Gahh!! :blink:

  9. Bubba Bob, I just went to your site it seem very fast, fully loaded in about second.

    Could you go to it again if you see this message (to rule out it being a fluke)? It loads in a minimum of 7 seconds for me. The server is much closer to you though...

    I called godaddy and their response was pay up for virtual dedicated hosting :rolleyes:
