  1. Granted, you are now the most intellegent person on the planet. You recognise the hopelessness of existance, and promptly fall into a deep depression. I wish the soda machine had Diet Cherry DR Pepper
  2. Argg! Blade fans are notoriously bad for pulling air through a filter. I tried to use a box fan with a good filter and burned it out. Airflow basically stopped. If you notice, auto AC units, home AC units, and other filter applications use a blower. I really like the idea of a remote air source. My machine is quite loud. I might have to try this. I have used the flexible air vent he used, and that stuff is great. You cant hear air flowing through it. BH
  3. wagon loaded with tiny scuba equipment.
  4. They did, and you had the time of your life. You just don't remember it. I wish I had my old office back.
  5. Product: Seagate / 250GB / 7200 / 8MB / ATA-100 / EIDE Hard Drive OEM Version Link: Tiger Direct Expiration: Sep 30 2005 BH
  6. One final thought: How are you going to protect the monitor? You might want to think LCD. BH
  7. It never surprises me the drivel people will believe. Rather than just READING the Constitution and taking it at face value for what it SAYS, they want to find some way to spin what was said to their current political view. Establishment of an official religion, that seems pretty clear. If you want to make it say something else, feel free to do it the right way: I think as a country we need to work on our public education system, it seems to be mis-teaching some important facts. I went to 11 different schools in 12 years, trust me, the disparities between what you learn where is fri
  8. Sure, where do I download it? I might even be able to make a few suggestions, though I am not really interested in podcasting myself. I have over 10 hours a week commuting to work, I may end up being your most loyal listener! BH
  9. Nice work, I had never considered using pergo for a project. I just have one question: What influenced your decision to make an ebay logo? Are you a superactive seller? At your age I would have chosen an auto logo or a certain american motorcycle company. BH
  10. My wife is going to love this one! It also work in ANY folder! You keep hitting the letter and it scrolls through all the files using that letter! BH
  11. Time to start a podcast! I don't know if anyone followed me, I tend not to draw followers. I personally wouldn't care, as long as they weren't creepy. If it bothers you, you should change screen names more often, especially when you move sites. If people don't know where you've gone, they can't follow you. As for the lurkers, I am glad they are here. Usually lurking is a temporary condition, everyuone eventually needs to ask a question. I read most of the posts here and still lurk a lot, very often others beat me to an answer and I have nothing to add to a subject. BH
  12. Let's restate that critical fact, Everyone should be properly trained before owning any gun. A guy I knew in high school shot his brother through the wall of their house with an 'unloaded' shotgun. He survived, but lost a kidney. I too am a trained shooter. I took college marksmanship, qualified as a marksman in the military, and will take a refresher before I shoot again. I have owned guns, I just don't have one now because I felt it was a tool I didn't need. Living relatively close to DC and about 15 feet above sea level makes me thing I need to prepare. BH
  13. One more suggestion: If the shop is paying for it, get a small UPS. Run the computer through it, but not the monitor (battery power will last longer). That way you don't get a reboot each time someone pulls the cord out. BH
  14. If you want good clean airflow I suggest you add a squirrel cage blower to the metal box you have it in, and filter the inlet through a standard 20x20 furnace filter. I have built large air cleaners for my basement wood shop, and the flow across a filter is dependant on the size of the blower (cfms) and the surface area of the filter. Here is a great deal on a blower: ~ $4 you will need a 12V converter, but that still keeps it under $20 25 CFM blower Post PICS, this is a nice practical mod project. BH
  15. A nationally known and relatively moderate (from my POV) talk show host mentioned that in light of the fiasco in New Orleans he was going to prepare to protect his family in case of disaster by buying a weapon, though he had never considered it before. This was something I have been thinking about a lot lately, with the terrorist threat. It is completely clear to me, that a certain small segment of the population are sociopaths and we need to protect ourselves from them since our state, local, and federal government are incapable of always protecting us. Gun control didn't work, since the
  16. Just to chime in, I followed the guide and got no performance change. Hey, does anyone have a GOOD tuning guide for XP? BH
  17. Thanks for trying. I think we should pin a thread on the good deals we found on stuff related to the board. How do we do that? BH
  18. We should unpin this thread, no posts in 9 days.
  19. Granted, your main job is now Sewer Inspector. I wish I didn't have to sleep.
