Thanks for the correction gentlemen, I will have to change my ways. :)

There others here besides me that have much more experience with music and purchasing high quality recordings. But for my two cents, I've always had good success with Deutsche Grammaphon recordings, although they have been on the more expensive side of things.

Time for some rum JoJo.

The place has been a bit quiet lately Bartender. Indeed it has. Perhaps it is just a seasonal thing. I see a lot of commotion out in the street, so people are busy. They’re just not able to stop in for a swift half as often as they could before. Some of the patrons have been more regular...

Quick question about the Prius. How is it pronounced? Prius or Preeus? (Long i or long e?) I've heard it both ways, but those that have used the long e are foreigners that would normally pronounce the letter i as e in their native tongue anyway.

We had some pretty interesting information being captured in the Toyota Prius thread.

Strange that your Jimmy hit so high Craig. I figured that a combo of her rearend lift and your nose dive during hard braking, you'd be almost at the same height. Bad for her in this situation, as that Jag is pretty expensive to fix. I didn't expect anyone to get hurt at 20mph with a...

Thanks for asking the question NRG. My impression was that they used a twin-turbo configuration, but Volkswagen has proven me wrong. They use a single turbo with a bypass valve that allows air to recirculate during idle and deceleration situations, leaving the turbine and compressor to spin...

Weight isn't the only issue with SUVs. Although this is not a real problem with the GMC Jimmy since it is based on a small pickup truck chassis, with larger SUVs the ride-height increases the amount of damage that can be done by those behemoths. Automobiles provide the best protection when...

I don't care much for storing things in my pockets, besides the odd couple of dollars. If I ever get change, I empty it out of my pocket the first chance I get and I don't keep my keys in any of my pockets, they're too uncomfortable.

Just as a note, the 1991 GMC Jimmy S15 and the 2000 Jaguar S Type both weigh roughly 3,800 pounds (more like 3,770).

Take it easy Clocker, we'll be waiting for your visit.

At least the Rangers are 0-2-1 and not 0-4-0 like the Anaheim Ducks. :)

I'm also a Kings fan. :)

Macs are tossers?

I've never put any trust in cylinder horsepower. Brake horsepower is the minimum for me, since it starts with a more realistic measurement (friction measured at the flywheel or driveshaft). I would, however, be most interested in net horsepower (measured on a dynamometer at the wheels). That...

I know, and that is 1000 brake horsepower, not some phoney measurement done at the flywheel.

I hope you are right. One thing I have noticed with kids these days, is that as they grow and enter their early teens, they tend to live in a fantasy world. Their life mimics their video games and television. Granted, when we were kids, we had great fun and pretended about many things, but...

Perhaps. I was always a hockey fan of the Quebec Nordiques because they were the underdogs. They moved to Colorado, and I stayed a fan, then they won the Stanley Cup in their first full season, and I am still a fan. So, I am sure plenty of Red Sox fans would enjoy the win, and still have a...

Indeed, that Bugatti is so much like a work of art combined with outstanding technology, I'd be worried taking that car out on the street. But just once, I'd love to gun it at a drag strip. :) Or even better, would be to sit at one of those traffic lights on the onramp of a freeway and smoke...

What do you all think of the results PC World came up with found here?

Sadly, those kids wanted to kill more violently and blow things up more dramatically.

Poor Red Sox. I was hoping they'd win. Oh well, on to bigger and better things, its hockey season! :)

Yes, the multiple turbos are to counteract lag. The Volkswagen 1.8 liter 4-cylinder has two turbos for that same reason.

As I side note (I know I've mentioned this in another thread before) here is a pretty quick car: Bugatti Veyron 16-4 Here are a few of the listed specs: Top speed: 406 km/h (252 mph) Acceleration: 0 - 300 km/h (0 - 186 mph) under 14.0 seconds Number of cylinders: 16 Displacement: 7,993 cc...

That is a good quarter mile time for your 298 horsepower car. How much does the car weigh? (I know, so many questions. :) ) The highway patrol in my area now use the Camaro as their fast car.

Interestingly enough, small cars from Korea these days are relatively safe by today’s standards and in comparison to early eighties imports they're very safe (although still not very reliable). The biggest reason is that the United States is stricter with their safety standards today. Whereas...

In case anyone is interested, here is some technical data for the 600 series. It will list data for a 600 and the 600 Pullman. The 600 Pullman is the longer version and is the hardtop equivalent to the Landaulet. The adaptation of this 6.3 liter engine in the lighter weight 300SEL was...

I love powerful vehicles, like the '79 TransAm, too. Although, I'm more of a sedan-high-horsepower sort of person instead of a sports-car-high-horsepower type. For me there is something awesome about a conservative-looking, saloon type vehicle beating a Honda Civic at 0-60. For example, the...

Thanks for that link Mercutio. I've found a word to use in my vocabulary more often: Profound. :D

Just imagine the cost: 6 platters and 12 heads! Hooley Dooley.

Congratulations, Buck! Your IQ score is 133 Visionary Philosopher Phooey, I wanted to be a Webmaster.

Haven't you heard of the famous Turku Enchilada?

Just for fun JoJo, switch motherboards again to a nForce chipset and lets see how the OS handles that.

Correct Mercutio, UDMA-133 (ATA/ATAPI-7 standard) is not a requirement for 48-bit LBA (48-bit LBA was fully defined in the ATA/ATAPI-6 specification), plus if there is a LBA or translation limitation, it is not with the drive. Although the Oxford 911 chip is one of the best performing FireWire...

:eekers: I hope Handy understood that. :D

Sorry i, the longer I work on computers, the more screws I collect.

I've put together some nForce2 systems for call recording using these as the bridge between RJ11 and audio-in. They have worked very well.

I don't think anything with the label ATI could make them happy in any way, especially Tannin. Although, Tea is a bit more flexible at times then the old man.

Thanks Handy. The functionality seems to work real well. I'll forward to the next chapters.

Indeed you have. My host uses php, I just copied their examples of the include statement. Yes, that would be nice. That sounds great, thanks for your help Handy.

Thanks Coug. I went ahead and installed them, everything seems to be the same (which is good).

BBspot Galactic Empire to Take Over Power in Iraq By Peter Bozarov Friday, October 3 12:01 AM EDT "Washington D.C. - At a press conference yesterday, White House spokesman Scott McClellan announced that all political and military authority in Iraq would be handed over to the Galactic Empire...

Are these PCMCIA/CardBus NICs or PCI NICs?

Nice.

In early 1997 I was using a 14.4 modem with Netcom as my ISP. That Spring I switched to Cable and haven't looked back. :) It has been a pleasant 6-years of relatively speedy downloads.
