  1. No longer a valid site Pete.

    He took down the mirror.

    I have finally decided to take my BlackViper Mirror site down due to legal, ethical and personal issues.

    (No, BlackViper has NOT launched a lawsuit against me.)

    I have had no luck in getting any contact with BlackViper (even though I tried). I still don't have

    his consent in providing (almost) his entire site to the public (of which he may not have approved of).

    I always had doubt in the legality of my actions, so that is why I've finally decided to make sure I was

    doing the right thing (in the legal viewpoint). The right thing to do for the Internet community was to keep

    the mirror up, but that would break some ethics.

    Also, BlackViper showed considerable annoyance at people leeching his site. You can see his 'Rant' below.

    I am sincerely sorry for this, and I wish you all the best in tweaking and maintaining your systems.

  2. Welcome aboard, IceFLYER.

    Directions to the cafe':

    The Besttechie Cafe'

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Thanks for the directions TG1911. I remember you from the Call For Help boards, right?

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Your welcome.

    Yep, that's me.

    Posted at G4 for a while, then quit when B got this board up and running.

    Never did like it, over there.

    Spend all of my time here, and another board, now.

  3. Have to agree with bozodog on the blue.

    For me anyway, that shade is to hard on the old eyes.

    Maybe a lighter shade, not so harsh.

    Other than that, it looks good.

    I like the idea of using the bottom tab, for a link to more info.

  4. macmarauder,

    You misunderstood.

    That's what this type of ceramics was developed for.

    High temps, high pressures, and high strength.

    Said to be 50 times stronger, than the current strongest ceramics.

    Something to do with the length of the fibers.

    The companies experimenting with it are jet, turbine, and internal combustion engine manufactureres.

    It's supposed to be some wicked stuff, but still experimental.

    Either way, still to expensive for me. :lol:

  5. macmarauder,

    Have you thought about ceramics?

    A chemical plant I used to work at was experimenting with a long fiber ceramic.

    A lot stronger than short fiber.

    Several companies were buying the stuff ($50,000 a barrel) to experiment with.

    Can you imagine a ceramic engine?

    Unlike metals, ceramics don't expand, or contract, with changes in temperatures.

    Ceramic also don't melt in extremely high temps, which is the main limiting factor in increasing the power output of turbines.

    Ceramics would also generate very little friction.

    Just, food for thought.

  6. Her Diary

    Tonight I thought he was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a bar to

    have a drink. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he

    was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment.

    Conversation wasn't flowing so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we

    could talk. He agreed but he kept quiet and absent. I asked him what was

    wrong; he said nothing. I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset.

    He said it had nothing to do with me and not to worry.

    On the way home I told him that I loved him, he simply smiled and kept

    driving. I can't explain his behavior; I don't know why he didn't say I love

    you too When we got home I felt as if I had lost

    him, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there and

    watched T.V. He seemed distant and absent.

    Finally, I decided to go to bed. About 10 minutes later he came to bed, and

    to my surprise he responded to my caress and we made love, but I still felt

    that he was distracted and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep

    - I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are

    with someone else. My life is a disaster.

    His Diary

    Today LSU lost, but at least I had sex.

  7. I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much.

    And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men

    think with their head and women with their heart.

    FOR EXAMPLE:

    One evening last week, my wife and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up,

    and she eventually says "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me."

    I said "WHAT????!!! What was that?!"

    So she says the words that every man on the planet dreads to hear..."You're just not in touch

    with my emotional needs as a woman enough, for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man."

    She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not

    what I do for you in the bedroom?"

    Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.

    The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a

    nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store.

    I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She

    couldn't decide which one to take so I told her we'll just buy them all.

    She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said let's get a pair for each outfit.

    We went onto the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings.

    Let me tell you...she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck.

    I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't

    even know how to play tennis. I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey."

    Smiling with excited anticipation she finally said, "I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier."

    I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it."

    Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, "WHAT???!!!"

    I then said, "Really honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch

    with my financial needs as a man enough, for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman."

    And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love

    me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?"

    Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either.

  8. A cattle rancher needs a bull to service his cows but needs to borrow the breeding fee from the bank.

    The banker lends him the money and comes by a week later to see how his investment is doing.

    The farmer complains that the bull just eats grass and won't even look at the cows.

    The banker tells the farmer that he knows a great veterinarian, and that he'll send him out the next day

    to check out the bull.

    The next week the banker returns to see if the vet helped. The farmer looks very pleased and tells the

    banker, "The bull has serviced all my cows, broke through the fence and has even serviced all my

    neighbor's cows."

    "Wow," says the banker. "What did the Vet do to that bull?"

    "Just gave him some pills," replies the farmer.

    "What kind of pills?" asks the banker.

    "I don't know," says the smiling farmer, "but they sort of taste like peppermint.

  9. A young doctor had moved out to a small rural community to replace the retiring country

    doctor. The older doctor suggested the young one accompany him on his house calls so

    the community could become used to a new doctor.

    At the first house a woman complained, "I've been a little sick to my stomach."

    The older doctor said, "Well, you've probably been overdoing the fresh fruit. Why not cut

    back on the amount you've been eating and see if that doesn't do the trick?"

    As they left, the younger doctor said, "You didn't even examine that woman. How did

    you arrive at your diagnosis so quickly?"

    "I didn't have to. You noticed I dropped my stethoscope on the floor in there? When I

    bent over to pick it up, I noticed a half-dozen banana peels in the trash. That was what

    was probably making her sick."

    "Huh!," the younger doctor exclaimed, "pretty clever. I think I'll try that at the next house."

    Arriving at the next house, they spent several minutes talking with a younger woman. She

    complained that she just didn't have the energy she once did. "I'm feeling terribly run down

    lately."

    "You've probably been doing too much work for the church," the younger doctor told her.

    "Perhaps you should cut back a bit and see if that helps.

    As they left, the elder doc said, "Your diagnosis is almost certainly correct, but how did

    you arrive at it so fast?"

    "Well, just as you did at the last house, I dropped my stethoscope and when I bent down to

    retrieve it, I noticed the preacher under the bed."
