    I doubt he'd come home immediately...but more like set up a time w/i a few months to have all troops/money spenders out of the country. afphanistan....he did vote for that "war", but he'd prolly look at where they are and then make a jugdment...but we'd prolly be out of there too.
  3. ...and look at us now... could a son of a muslim just be the crack in the dam for this possible future? not a racist comment... just trying to be realistic with the provided info.
  4. i wouldn't know... is he? my professor just said good friend, no name.

    yeah, but sadly if people realized how small it was in the 18th and 19th centuries, today's would seem an abomination, and clearly why we have the debt we do have. the founders of this great nation did base this nation on "Radical" ideas for the time. the only newer "radical idea" has been socialism/communism, and look how that has turned out. hehe
  6. yeah, i'm no audiophile, but i hate stock speakers and radios for the most part. maybe i half spoiled myself with polk db and an older pioneer 7xxx unit. it's not perfect, no, but it's great for what i spent on it.

    what do you mean nonconservative ideas?
  9. i'd just like to note the over compression of lots of music today. the cd is ...~25 years old and we still have not adopted a higher bit rate/fidelity media widespread. i haven't listened to the new Metallica, but a friend said people are complaining about clipping in tracks or a track... that should not be happening. 10 years ago i bet most high signals were still below "0db" ..the s/n rating of 16bit is ..90-98 or something? we have SACD and DVD audio, yet both are very nitch markets. all we need is something like 24bit 80Khz (make a huge difference), but sadly "most people" don't care or can't hear a difference. when i read about anything to do with SACD's it's always astounding the specs of it... "very high sampling rate of 2.8224 MHz. This is 64 times the sampling rate used in [cds]" wiki ...a dynamic range of 120 dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. "Now, with the CD, we have more than 90 db of dynamic range to utilize, and no surface noise or risk of groove skip to worry about. So what has become of all that wonderful dynamic range? The loudness wars have come back. While most classical CDs still make use of the CD's dynamic range potential, once again the fallacious belief that "louder is better" has permeated the record industry." from http://georgegraham.com/compress.html same thing with autotune program used on lots of people that are making money that really can't carry a tune better than people that can win RB just by hitting the designated note and not actually singing....my friend does that. it's hella annoying, but he feels proud cause he can get 100% on expert on RB2...it's like cheating, no one would pay to hear you just hit notes, so why fake it? society has become very lax with the standards we put up with.

    lol... wow. isn't that "every guy's" dream c$%^ jousts..? edit, way too gay. lol
  11. mostly on topic, a teacher today told class about a white guy that was born in Africa and gets a kick out of correctly being called an African American.

    i'd have to agree, but... i bet if he was in 4th on a flat stretch (treadmill) going just over the point it shifts into 4th, maybe. i got ~37 over in indiana..flat..mostly 50 - 65ish....unless the pump lied. My MC shifts into 4th (while giving it gas) at 39-40 but holds it down to 33, which is kinda irritating sometimes going up hills, which my area has quite a few in some areas in town.

    about the titanic and such, there was show looking at the blue prints that showed they tried a horrible expansion joint on it or the sister ship...and that was very close or the place the ship ripped in half.

    you forgot 1913. the FED...central bank, central economic planning, therefor much easier to deficit spend, create larger government, "regulate the economy"...create "market driven" bubbles, that are more like bad bank/loan practices. sound familiar?
  16. loki replied to loki's topic in Tech Section
    lol yeah. i've just gotten used to it as is it'd prolly be harder to sell as is when i need something new...when that time comes. i can get 240miles city typically before it'd prolly read E ~20mpg with a ~3gal "reserve" or a winter just in case: 200 miles. thanks for the knowledge..but i kinda figured as such what you said.
  17. american buffalo/bison, i never remember, would be much better for the environment and meat, but i don't hear the any greanies touting that. if there were farms for women....the farmer should stay very happy. lol

    well if R's get congress again, maybe we could see another budget surplus like during clinton years.

    and if they didn't have to mess with taxes.. that'd be happier owners and more productive too. (less "down time")
  21. sounds good. you figure up mileage?
  22. ..animal farm? ...i've never read it. but this is what they want us to do, become farm animals so they can control us as such.

    and all the Iraqis killed..oh and the person that said that we were justified in trade sanctions with iraq (clinton years) probably leading to the deaths of ...30K children.... isn't she in BO advisory board or something....?
  24. so the dodge is like the... one in "production" now in california under a different name? the others are just their bread and butter non sedan versions of the volt... wow.(under exciting)

    i know someone else that's had this problem... i guessing it's happened " a lot" my gauge only can work sitting still. it's usually full , but letting it sit on hills it will read correctly, or sometimes sitting still ie, at a light, it will correct itself, slowly. shifting to nuetral will make the needle move quickly if it was working just seconds before, if it stays in gear it moves much slower. my friend had a GP that did this swapped out the sending unit/pump and didn't solve it... so it's probably a ground issue somewhere. has anyone heard anything about this, a common place to find the problem? it's been like this for a few years now... so i'm used to it, just thought i'd bring it up, don't know if i asked this before.
