I figured out the tax problem. I had 2 W2's cause the place I work at was sold in June. My previous employer didn't have everything set up right so not enough of my check was taken out. My new employer had it set up right so all the money I was supposed to get out that W2 was lost paying for what wasn't taken out on the other. If I hadn't gotten a new employer, I think I might have had to pay. Anyway, my tune-up stuff was supposed to come in today. InLineFour is a great place to buy stuff from but they always have it set up to where you have to sign for your packages from them. UPS will probab

Just wanted to mention that it wouldn't be the same in my case (and I believe JSKY's case as well). XP on my main computer is terrible. Vista x64 is actually a very able performer and operates quicker and smoother than XP on my main computer. My old computer though, XP would be better but.... it has Linux on it now

They are withdrawing from the Plasma market due to low sales. To the average consumer, looking at an LCD and a Plasma in a store under that bright lighting, Plasmas look dimmer than LCD's so people think the LCD is better so more people buy them. Plus I do believe LCD has a longer life span than Plasma anyway doesn't it? I've always heard that a plasma good pretty much for it's warranty but many fail as the warranty runs out. My experience with smaller LCD Monitors has proven their longevity to me. I've had my 19" and used it everyday for the last 2 1/2 years (I used it extensively for about 2

That's great that they have 75 million users now but I think I'm good with the free version. It does it's job just fine. It has served me well since I switched from AVG. I was a loyal AVG user until it pulled a Norton on everybody and got bloated. When your software slows down a system with a 3GHz dual core 64-bit CPU and 4GB of RAM that much, you have screwed up. Avast is much more lightweight and has worked great in helping clean up the computers I work on for people (along with MBAM too).

In my personal opinion, I'd rather have a 32-36" CRT TV over a bigger 45" Projection TV. I've never really liked them. if I want, I can get a Sanyo True Flat 32" CRT for free from the same friend I bought my Sanyo True Flat 27" from. He just bought a new 46" LCD and the 32" is taking up space. All I would need to do is degauss it since there has apparently been some form of magnetism too close to it. I'd just give my True Flat 27" CRT to my parents to replace their aging (and slightly messed up) RCA non-flat 27" CRT. BTW, that 46" LCD HDTV of my friends.... frickin' awesome but ridiculously ex
-
I just buy new TV's.... even when they aren't broke. I always want something bigger. Right now though, I'm still using a 27" Sanyo in my room. It's a few years old but the fact that it works fine ain't gonna stop me from buying a bigger LCD HDTV ...... just the fact that I don't have money for one is stopping me

if count ALL the taxes withheld, it's way more than the 400 I was expecting.
-
Yeah I know. But still i was looking forward to a good bit more than that. Last year I got a pissant $67 but I knew that's what I was expecting. This year I was expecting $400 or so. Ah well. I just gotta wait a coupla week and I'll have the money for the camber kits. It's not dire to have them now. I was told by the guy at the tire place I don't have to worry so much about tire wear but rather the back-end coming out. I think the guy was assuming I drive the car harder than I do. Right now the only kinda "hard" driving I do is when I get the feeling to do so, I wind out a gear or 2 down a str

Boy I'm glad that 1. I don't live in an apartment and 2. that no one else is home right now cause I've been blasting music for that last 20 minutes that you can hear in the basement 2 floors down and my sub shakes the floor like crazy. My list so far: Tommy heavenly6 - PAPERMOON Tommy heavenly6 - Ruby Shoes Horie Yui - silky heart Kawada Mami - masterpiece Kawada Mami - jellyfish BOOM BOOM SATELLITES - Upside Down BOOM BOOM SATELLITES - What Goes Around Comes Around BOOM BOOM SATELLITES - Shut Up and Explode Kylee - VACANCY (I absolutely LOVE this song, one of the few that make me think back o

The bastards withheld over $450 and I only got $149 of it back.

ya know what, I'll go back and update mine with links.

Well, I'm getting screwed with my tax return so it's not even gonna completely cover my friggin tune-up parts so I'm gonna have to wait on my damn camber kits. I won't get my tax return in at least 8 days but I went ahead and ordered the tune-up parts. Honda OEM Distributor Cap and Rotor, NGK Spark Plug Wires, NGK Iridium Temp 7 Spark Plugs. Friggin $162 (my return was only $150).

Let's see I just listened to: savage genius - JUST TUNE and now am listening to: Horie Yui - silky heart and I found the Xam'd OP song but don't have the ED yet.
-
Man, I need to download the Xam'd of the Lost Memories singles. They are pretty good. Boom Boom Satellites - Shut Up and Explode (Xam'd OP) and Kylee - Vacancy (Xam'd ED) Both are in English and that Kylee girl is obviously not Japanese. 1: The name 2: Perfect English. It was the same for the girl who performed the Kuroshitsuji ED song. Her name was Becca. I looked her up and she was American (and white to boot) but for some reason was on a Japanese label and her music doesn't seem to be available here.

Can't Connect To Bittorrent
Honda_Boy replied to bobeverywhere's topic in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP
Many ISP's have torrent blocking and I read recently the Pirate Bay is in some hot water right now. I stay away from pirate sites like that any way. I only ever go to AnimeSuki and TokyoToshokan for torrents. PS: Not trying to be mean, but I cannot offer you any solutions since it appears some of the stuff you mentioned seem to be for pirated content. That's why ISP's have been blocking torrent traffic. -
Hmmmm, well since I'm in college, I think it's a tad different for me. I'm sitting in a room full of them right now in Programming II. Then my Computer Security Class right after this, same geek teacher, half the students from the Programming II class are in it, and many of the people from my Networking I class last semester are in here too. THEN, the RealSubtle Anime Club I'm part of at my college is also half full of computer geeks (the head of the anime club is one of the IT staff at the college). Outside of college is a different story but I'm lucky to have a manager at work who's willing

My ISP's email is annoying (they have their own little firewall). It kept blocking all kinds of crap that shouldn't be blocked. I have 2 Gmail accounts that I actually use. One I use for forum registration and shopping, the other I use for PayPal, important crap, resume, when I give my email to another person in person, etc. The Forum and shopping one has a goofy name while the other has a more normal name (but with a pun that I and very few others get). I also have my school email address (that I never check), as well as an AOL one to use for AIM. I typically don't check my email on the inter

My Recommended Free Software List Avast! Free Home Edition Anti-Virus ( http://www.avast.com/ ) - Good Detection and more lightweight than AVG. COMODO Firewall Pro ( http://www.comodo.com/ ) - Great Firewall that keeps an eye on everything. CDBurnerXP ( http://cdburnerxp.se/ ) - Contrary to what it's name suggests, it's compatible on both XP and Vista and does a great job burning CD's and DVD's. It however does not support Video DVD burning but I never burn them anyway. CPU-Z ( http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php ) - A good app to keep on a thumb drive to identify the processor, motherboard, and RAM

in my case, the OEM seats will not hold you in place as well. Plus the Civic Type-R Recaros are more comfortable as well. Chances are, I won't have CTR Recaros but I will try to get some kind of (good) racing buckets for when I track it. If I were to even get Recaros it'd probably be new Password: JDM Recaros since they are cheaper and easier to get than used JDM Civic Type-R and Integra Type-R Recaros. Password: JDM is an American company and Recaro makes some just for them to sell here while the CTR and ITR Recaros come out of CTR's and ITR's that were sold only in Japan From 95-01 (97-00 fo

I would advise against using msconfig to disable startup programs. It can cause issues disabling that way. If you do need to disable anything, go to the Control Panel, and underneath Programs, there should be an option to change startup programs. That's what you need to use. Now, I do not believe that is what needs to be necessarily since it apparently was functioning correctly before hand. I'm leaning towards either AVG is dragging it down or there may have been something wrong with the SP1 install.

Gotta remember, I'm restoring an abused car and building it to race on a track. Just need something better than a minimum wage part time job to get more done.

Then you'll fix the biggest problem with buying Honda, Toyota, or Nissan. That problem being the badge that's on it Just kiddin man. Got my parts priced out and goodbye tax return. It's gonna be like $430 or so for all the parts I need. I'm getting brand new OEM Distributor Cap and Rotor, NGK Iridium IX Temp7 Spark Plugs, NGK OE Replacement Spark Plug Wires (supposedly better than the OEM Sumitomo ones but my mechanic runs OEM ones on his 500HP Turbo Civic Si), and BLOX Racing Front and Rear Camber Kits (essentially adjustable upper control arms). My birthday is in just over 2 months so I thi

Here's something to try. That may actually solve your slowness problem easily. Disable the Resident Shield in AVG and see if that helps. If so, then AVG might be your problem. AVG recently became bloated and on my old XP install, it killed the performance bad. I had an Athlon x2 6000+ with 4GB of RAM running unbearably slow but switched out AVG for Avast and the performance was finally back up to where it was supposed to be. I've since switched to Vista on this rig and have only used Avast so I don't know quite how it would perform on it now but I doubt it'd be any better than in XP (though my
