Bases loaded now. Let us be Bambino!

Anyone have an idea why four turbos are needed on that Bugatti? Surely two larger ones would have worked as well with half the moving parts. Space issue maybe?

A politician? I do have some shame you know.

I remember the first time I saw an electronic game. It was Pong and it was in a stand alone arcade type machine in a bar (where I spent the best days of my youth) and we played for hours on end. On quarter after another. That must have been in 1972 give or take a year or two. Oh to be 21 again...

Thanks jtr but it's too bad BS doesn't put food on the table or a Bugatti in the garage or I'd be all set.

I found the test Steve linked to much easier that the first test Merc linked. 31 page report! Good lord!

Damn Buck that is one fine automobile. Four Turbos, 64 valves and four OHC w/ roller followers. And how about that transmission? It's definitely nice - but I was a bit diappointed by the guages as well as the styling of interior. Anyway what real man wants a car that has a two tone 'Rouge...

One thing no one has mentioned yet as regards auto gas mileage is that it is only one part of the equation. Actual miles driven being the other relevant factor when considering who the real polluters are. Craig may only drive his TransAm a few hundred miles a year where as some Salesman who...

Mercutio, I think you are on the right track. It is far too complex a subject to narrow down to one single answer. Just for the heck of it I looked in the dictionary for clues and here's what I found. That's good enough for me I guess. The problem is that the word itself is too broad in...

If we are going to have fuel cells by 2015 then why do we need to improve mileage rates at all?

I'd say that it is the abilty to reason. People learn in different ways. So taking the test over again would not necessarily tell you anything except whether the person taking the test learns from repetition. I have always had trouble learning from books. Show me or tell me and I'll grasp it...

Thanks for the link. Here's one for Tannin - What are the odds that all of us who happened to take the test scored in the upper 2.2% of the population? I suspect they have found that those who score well on the test are more likely to spend $15.00 to buy the report they are selling. Hence the...

I find it suspicious that all of our scores are within eight points of being identical. Something smells.....

What effect does age have on these numbers? I would think that at some point it would have none?

That should be "membrane" not "membrade"

It looks promising but I'd have some reservations about the deionized water and how long the buffers are going to last. The membrade they are using to generate flow electrically would clog pretty easily. And DI water is very corrosive when used in materials which are not particularly corrosion...

Stupid!

P.S. Now that the quote about being a dictator is in context it is obvious that he was only kidding. In fact he is somewhat echoing Lincolns famous letter to Hooker in which he promoted fighting Joe to commander of the Army of the Potomac despite Hooker having said that what the nation needed...

Well there should be limits to freedom don't you think?

"Ghettopoly" is causing a fury among black leaders in the northeast. It's insensitive to say the least but it is funny. http://www.ghettopoly.com/

For the record, here is the oath which must be sworn to; From - http://vikingphoenix.com/politics/Election2000/Issues2000/NationalSecurity/oath.htm

By the way just because there are "only" 165 million Islamists out of 1.2 billion Muslims, this does not mean that the remaining 1.035 billion are not supportive to one degree or another of the Islamist movement. For example, the Pew Research Center conducted a Global Attitudes survey recently...

Well I understand the reluctance here in this country to persecute any one particular religon or ideology. Yet whether one is a Catholic, Jew or Muslim one must honor the oath one takes when being being sworn into the armed forces. What do we do with those whose ideology is directly opposed to...

Let's narrow this discussion down a bit. Because as Mercutio points out not all muslims are fundamentalists. And as Cougtek points out I'm a narrow-minded guy any way. :( There are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world today. Of these 165 million are fundamentalists (Islamists). This latter group...

Islam teaches that a Muslims first loyalty is to his fellow Muslims. And that Allah's law supercedes secular law. No doubt you've all seen the recent arrests of an Army Chaplain and two translators for spying activities at Guantanamo. Further investigations are under way of all translators at...

Antec cases are excellent quality in my opinion. They are well designed and sturdy. Nothing cheap about them except the price.

I think he's done a great job. I just sent another check into the Republican party on the 1st. I certainly plan on voting for him again next year. I suspect he will be re-elected fairly easily. On tuesday night I saw Terry McCaulif (sp?) attributing Davis' ouster and Arnold's victory as being...

You live in Arlington huh? I grew up in Annandale. Worked in Arlington for a while. Females have brains?

Scored a 25 here. I hate tests like that. The questions are ambiguous to begin with and coupled with my tendency to read too much into them when answering leaves me with little confidence in the results. I have a nephew who is autistic. Not so severe that he must be institutionalized but...

Merc, BTW - I have 1.5 Mbs service which Verizon checked for availability in my area before installation and then confirmed by testing afterwards. Using an online testing service I get the following results from testing performed by a server in Los Angeles (I'm in Florida); 2003-10-01...

Nope.

Merc, I've had Verizon DSL for over a year now and I'm very happy with it. It's fast enough (177kbs downloads) and very reliable. It does hurt that the monthly rate dropped from $59 to $39 recently either.

Tea, Don't forget the continuum-transfunctioner or Zoltan will be pissed. And of course pack plenty of aluminum foil for Tannin's hats.

Speaking of "Darwin" I think he'll have to write a new ending for the Origin of Species when you two meet up. Bon Voyage...

Played fine for me on W2k3.

Well I'll be frank with you as to what my take is on you and this situation. I mean no disrespect by telling you what I am about to and I am not doing so to hurt you in any way - hopefully I won't. I think you do want to meet "someone" or you would not have gone to eharmony or even listened to...

Lovely bride and pictures! You lucky bastard you! Oh well... couldn't have happened to nicer guy. :)

Excellent advice Fushigi! I can't believe I forgot the most important rule of all - she is not your mother! Pick up after yourself! God did not put her into your life to "fetch" things for you either. If you want a can err.... "glass" of beer get off your duff and get yourself. And ask if you...

Since I have some time on my hands I thought I would give you a few pointers on how to make your new bride "happy". Perhaps the other fellows here who have engaged in the marital game a time or two themselves might contribute as well if they so desire. Let's start with the "bathroom rules"...

Congratulations! Finally found one who would fetch beers eh?

Let's just selectively breed smaller people. Half-Size would be about right I would think. It works with ponies and dogs so why not humans - "Shetland Man". Enviromentally freindly. Half the mess and fuss.

Here it is.... your new avatar - http://www.sunbelt-software.com/stu/eye.htm

If you have sex and your girlfriend / wife gets pregnant without a license, what happens then? Do you get a ticket? Force an abortion? Fine them? What if you can't pay the fine? Do you put them in Jail? Suppose your license gets revoked or you fail to renew it? Do they impound the children?

Just be sure the Audio section on the right hand side of the window has the stream you want checked. I assume you can hear the audio when you play the DVD normally on your PC?

LOL It must have been a really tough school. No wonder they bring guns to school these days. I would too.

Try rebooting and then immediately changing the file extension from .avi to whatever.

DVD Shrink will rip and recompress at the same time. Saves a little time to do it that way.

If I don't find it that bad the why doesn't I use it? And why does me think of buying tools at such a time? Does myself or I have any clue why me would feel that way?

How would myself know what I likes?
