I have a friend that has a Pontiac Transport minivan that we dropped the entire drivetrain from a Grand Prix GTP into. yes it fits easily. 3800sc engine and 4T65HD tranny = make kids in hondas and WRX's cry as a minivan smokes them.
Nope, I use titanium lug nuts. they weight 1/2 of what the stock ones do. Every ounce removed from rotating mass is another 1/10th of a HP to the ground.
As I violently violate the law and strip out the DRM from every purchase. it's mine, I dont care about their TOS, I'm going to get rid of their restrictions and make sure my purchases cant be stolen from me.
I've got a Pontiac fireo 1986 GT that has a 2007 Corvette LS3 engine in it. (Yes it' eats drive shafts) Along with upgrading the ECM and swapping in a 6 speed automatic paddle shift tranny. (all paddle shift are automatics, a real transmission has a stick.) Breaks were upgraded to Brembo and I am in the process of fitting a Chevy steering assist unit. and some custom suspension parts to make it better than the corvette could dream of ever handling and I spent less than 1/2 the price of a used 2009 Z06. I have a friend that has even more tech in his 1955 Chevy pickup truck.
shade tree mechanics have been doing this stuff forever, My dad upgraded a 1950's beetle to electronic ignition when I was a kid.
Because I have had a "3rd party billing" block on my AT&T account for years. and I suggest everyone do the same. it keeps scumbag companies like bango from being able to charge your Mobile phone number for anything.

your friends will rat you out in a heartbeat if it give them any advantage. Don't think for a second that any friend of your is loyal to you. Anyone can be bought, some can be bought for a lot less than others.
Moral of the story? Trust NO ONE if you are doing nefarious things.
Oh and deny everything to your grave. Deny, Deny, Deny...
Mine is $99 a month. what are you over paying for? you dont need more than the entry level data package for a part time vacation RV or Yacht. Sounds like someone sold you a overpriced plan.
"Any time there is a power inturruption, there is a good chance they lose their link." Only if the person that installed and maintained it is a moron. They will operate for DAYS on a UPS backup. and they are not a pain at all if they lose position, all you do it power it back up and in 3 minutes it has locked back on the bird and is functioning.
You can get Geosyncronous data connections now for $99 a month. Absolute dirt cheap for what it is. Outfitting an RV with a tracking dish is not hard nor expensive, less than $560.00 to give you Heughes Net anywhere your RV goes.
The problem is in that the birds in the sky are low power and outdated horribly. This new antenna design will do nothing to fix the fact that there is nothing to receive.
Ham radio operators have been working satellites for decades with cheap TV antenna rotors. you can EASILY build an X/Y tracker out of two used antenna rotors and build the simple Helical antennas and talk to the guys on the ISS or work several of the ham radio satellites that are up in the sky and have been there for a long time now.
This antenna tech is neat, but it's not going to make any differences. Mobile computing will stay terrestrial or Geosync. Having owned and used an iridium phone, you do not need a special tracking antenna to have phone service anywhere on the planet, what you need is for the craptastic satellites to be replaced with something that can handle more than 56K of bandwidth per connection.
Really? Go open a Galaxy Tablet with your Phillips screwdriver, Or repair the screen on most Current Dell laptops... ALL makers are doing it, it's just the apple haters have too low of an IQ to understand this tidbit.
Oh, and I recently got myself several i5 and i7 desktops for free like that. the owners had a virus infection, and instead bought new ones and threw away the old computers. It happens all the time.
Gnome 3 is a complete mess. and it's UI is not easier to use or more intuitive, its just trendy and "different" It is 5 years behind Gnome 2.x in usability and polish. A lot of the criticism for Gnome 3 is justified. The problem is knowing how the Gnome team works, they will ignore everyone and do what they want.
I have tried several times to use it and every time the same parts fall down. Luckily some smart people are picking up the abandoned 2.x line and forked it. So linux will continue to have a useable desktop instead of the wierd social experiments that are Gnome 3 and Unity.
Yeah, I'm weak that way. I have to walk past his office on the way out, and it's rude to walk by fast with my fingers in my ears yelling , "LALALALA I CANT HEAR YOU! LALALALA!"
And no I am not going to give you my friend email address, you find your own friend in Japan to do favors for you. I pay him back with free room and board when he comes here.
Sorry, but I work less with a BYOD requirement. IF you are too cheap to buy me an iPad you require, then I am going to screw off using that ipad during work hours.
Also Work more at home? I dont even answer the bosses phone calls in the parking lot 3 minutes after I leave.

You have never been to a http://www.benihana.com/ restaurant and watched the Knife Professionals work. They are incredible and can cook as well.

sorry, but if you ask any RIAA or MPAA executive they will tell you that I am the scourge of the earth for doing it and I should go to jail for it.

Amen. If it does not have a clutch pedal, it's not a real transmission but a glorified slushbox.

You are funny. Try a REPUTABLE news source next time little kid.
you might as well had linked to a story on the onion.
Land Line? I haven't had one of those for over 6 years.
to confirm the block? call up customer service and ask, "are you still blocking 3rd party billing?"

I think there is a Vaccine for that. Maybe that is the problem, the parents missed their vaccinations?

Works great and you can actually type REALLY fast with it once you get used to it.
Like office workers. I have several here that have dual monitor setups. The sales people as well...

I got one for $1400 shipped.
