    Review of new Toyota Prius

    Whether you like the argument or not its still the argument. I dont tell you what to do and I would expect the same. Flagreen mentions something I even forgot... truth its all my Trans Ams are luxery items and I dont drive them daily. I drive my V6 sport ute which averages an admittedly poor...

    Counter strike, anyone play anymore?

    I have only played CS in my own home with my networked PCs. Really great game! My dial up sucks for speed so accessing to another server is unlikely. They have a place called PC gaming arena in a local mall here that just has about 40 PCs which can all be hooked up to play. I keep meaning to...

    Review of new Toyota Prius

    Sadly by the late 70's most of the American Muscle cars had lost most of their teeth. Rising gas prices forced the introduction of many smaller more economical cars. My 79 originally came with a sad little 301 Chevy engine in it which by almost anyones standards was to little for the weight of...

    Review of new Toyota Prius

    Hey Buck, I can respect what you are saying and certainly I wouldn't say that a Trans Am is going to be good in a broadside collision with any truck. Most cars wouldn't be. My only point was that I don't believe a small car of todays standards would do any better. Someone mentioned above...

    Review of new Toyota Prius

    See... this is what I knew would happen. these days people cant debate constructively without personal attacks. My SUV is certainly more prone to tipping over... no denying that. I dont go screaming through corners with it. If I did I would be an idiot. Its has a 4.3 liter V6 in it which is...

    Review of new Toyota Prius

    Well... here is where I make enemies. I will obviously be the outcast on this issue. I like powerful cars and trucks. I currently own: 2000 Trans Am 1979 Trans Am 1991 GMC Jimmy (small one not full size) and I have a hand in various motorsports activities. Fo whomever said that size and...

    w00t!

    Umm... I doubt it. Hows this for you. I'm on a 56.6 dial up which when I had an apartment near the phone company screamed (windows said it connected at 58.8 most nights) even with electrical appliances above and to the sides of me (apartment living is great!) then I bought a house in the...

    Internet explorer randomly throws an error and restarts.

    Thanks Doug, i appreciate the offer. So... over all it seems like it just might be easier to install my new hard drive and start over making my old one a back up and pulling all the files off it before formatting it? My current drive is 10 gig (most of you didn't think you could survive with...

    Internet explorer randomly throws an error and restarts.

    Merc... thanks for replying. As I stated its Win 98. It started when I had Ie 5.5 or so and I downloaded and upgraded to IE 6. That still didn't fix the problem. I'll try thr IE fix problem thing and see if that works. I have no idea how I would remove IE from win 98 to reinstall so I just...

    matrix revolutions

    Merc, they are re-releasing the previous two with the Special edition cutting room floor stuff in for viewing in theaters? Cripes man! They were long films as it is! I imagine they would approach something close to three and a half hours with the extras?

    Whats it mean when I get "Pinged"?

    So Clocker... you are saying its other infected computers trying to attack mine? Does this mean as the msblaster and its children get taken care of here and there the pinging will stop?

    Whats it mean when I get "Pinged"?

    Thanks for the info... may I ask was is nslookup? Can I put it in google or is it a website of its own? The reason I originally chose the Zone labs firewall "Zone Alarm" is that if someone pings it, they dont get a responce back letting the hacker know that there is a computer there... Zone...

    Whats it mean when I get "Pinged"?

    I use a Zone Alarm free firewall software and lately the amount of blocks it logs is off the hook. I am getting pinged by literally as many as 60 unique IP address on various ports within a half hour period. What does it mean? Is someone trying to hack me? Is there anyway i can fight back...

    Looking for Promise IDE controller.

    But none of my local outlets have them anymore. It seems I am living in the stone age. Anyone have a good site to get one inexpensively? I checked Promise's home site and got confused a bit as to which one I would want. I have a Pentium 2 350 and I just bought a western Digital 80 gig Hard...

    where to get a good deal on a hard drive?

    Doh! now you tell me! :eekers: Well I bought the last one they had at the store since the store was close by to me and it says on the packaging that it has software to overcome the largeness. Not a quote but that was the idea it conveyed. I have never heard of a promise controller. Where...

    where to get a good deal on a hard drive?

    Soo.. My machine is a Pentium2 350mhz with a 10 gig hard drive. Occasionally on boot up it just stalls and the HD never clicks over. I cold boot and its fine...sometimes it take a couple cold boots. I am running out of hard drive space anyway so I figure I'll buy a bigger drive. I would like...
