  1. Could be that the windows machine is not being shared. Maybe a windows firewall issue?

    My last three cars have had disk at all four and if nothing else changing pads takes at least a third of the time of drums. Also I'm guessing they are less rotating mass.
  3. Really like this Sheryl Crow version of Hurt. Always liked Trents original version and love Johnny's version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2Jo053nGfo And one of my favorite new bands Sick of Sarah. This isn't my favorite song by them but it's their only real video.

    Up here in the northeast, well at least where I live we have had nitrogen available for many years. We go from 100° in the summer to -20° in the winter. I'm pretty sure all the major tire sellers also offer nitrogen.
  5. Check out Touch Arcade for cool games. Also Joost has a great iphone/touch app for watching tv shows and movies. And get yourself one of the internet radio apps there are a few free ones.
  6. Mac OS X 10.6 the next version is also due maybe this spring. The word from apple is that it will run faster and be able to take full advantage of 64 bit processors and graphic processing. Good Luck, if you need any help if you get a Mac stop by.
  7. RAM is cheep you can get 4 gigs for under $100 and yes the more the better. Also if you can wait two weeks Macworld is coming up and there maybe updates if that happens older Macs usually get a discount. Check Mac Rumors before buying http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/
  8. Both Rice and Bush are lame ducks hence the timing of this. Hamas believes that Obama will not do anything, and Israel believes Clinton is backing them. Personally I'm with TT_75 on this.

    I had Sport Drives on my Rx7 a few years ago they were great tires in the summer. But in cold weather on wet roads they would get squirrelly.
  10. Just about all movie editing software will need room to work. Movie files are huge and expand quickly when editing. They also need more room when rendered. Your best bet is to get another drive and use that for movie projects.

    I think your looking in the right spot it defiantly sounds like a lean condition. These things are hard to diagnose until it triggers a trouble code "I'm sure it will eventually unless you find it first". Fuel filter is a good place to start at least to rule it out. There are so many tiny possible points of failure it's hard to know where to start especially when it doesn't happen all the time. Sounds like a busy christmas good luck.

    That was almost a little painful to watch.
  13. I found this on Mac Rumors, thought you guys may be interested. (From Mac Rumors) Apple released a technote detailing an issue that some users have run into while installing the latest Mac OS X Software Update. When attempting to update software using Software Update in Mac OS X 10.5, the update process may stop responding while "Configuring installation" is visible in the update window. Apple describes that this may happen when trying to install a partially downloaded update. The work-around is to remove the partially downloaded update and try again. The incomplete update files may be found i
  14. I know a guy that converted his old Mercedes to Vegie. He gets his oil from restaurants, his son made a part time business collecting old oil for free, filters it and sells it for I think .50 a gallon. Of course like I said we have a lot of grease cars where I live. Hmmm... I'll have a big mac large, fry, coke and can you fill'er up.

    Sometimes the erratic idle like what happen can be caused by low fuel pressure, stuck injector or failing TPS and eventually set a trouble code. So you may want to check if it happens again. Bad gas usually causes problems that don't go away until the next fill up.
  16. I don't think we are at the point to pick just one alternative. Say we choose bio fuel and drop all other development but in ten years some one makes a new battery that takes half the time to charge then what we have now and last 3 times as long or the other way around. Also we never know what new thing is just around the conner. I read today that the University of Massachusetts that is near where I live has plans to build a Bio Fuel plant. I guess they are working on new production techniques and different plants. There is a company a few blocks from me that builds Grease Car conversion kit
  17. "i dont understand why the usa hasent gone into alternate fuels " Because it's cheep, just filled up tonight $1.57 an gallon when it hits $5 then we'll see alternatives. We had $4 gas this summer and thats all anyone could talk about now fuels under $2 not so much.

    Yep, every time a new ad comes out there all over the apple fan sites. They seem a little tamer then usual almost cute.

    Wow thats a lot of sushi!
  20. So what did you have to do to back out of the install, just shut down manually?
  21. What kind of problems with software updates? I've never had any problems.
  22. Working just fine for me also.
  23. I believe Brazil is almost all ethanol and it is working for them. I agree that corn may not be the correct plant but scrapping the whole bio-fuel industry is not the answer. If gas prices push $5 a gallon and we give up on Bio-Fuel the tinfoil hats will be saying that the government stop development of the Bio-fuel industry because big oil needed to scam us.
  24. At this time it takes almost as much fuel to make Ethanol as it produces but as production increases that changes. Also if we could change from corn to wood pulp "or other starchy fibered plants" it would be much more cost effective. I think the main reason for E10 at this time is to cut pollution. The byproduct of burned ethanol is water. But energy we get out has to greatly outweigh the energy put in before it makes sense.
  25. That all depends on if your running Vista 32-bit or 64-bit.
