  1. Re:No offense... on Is Hacking Cars a Thing of the Past? · · Score: 1
    none taken.
    but I got my car dirty after owning it for only 5 days. The last time was 2 days ago..
    no I wasn't implying that big heavy american V8 cars are not moddeable, just that they are big and heavy. I live near a place where many rallies takes place and I run on the roads a few times a month. I think my car can hack it on the streets also. But I am not trying to say my car is better than yours or anything like that.. I was just trying to defend the subarus. You were putting them in the same class as the hondas and VWs, and they are in a whole other class. As is your car.

    Take your Trans AM off the road and the subies will take you. Not all subaru drivers are punk kids looking to race on the streets on Friday nights, with big ass spoilers and stickers everywhere. SO you should of addressed the Hondas and some of the VW and like 1% of the true subaru drivers. Your missing the big point.. 390 HP RWD or 227 HP AWD.? I will take a AWD 227HP (hackable) WRX over a big heavy american V8 car anyday... oh wait I already did..

  4. seriously on MP3.com Sued for 'viral' Copyright Infringement? · · Score: 1
    This is all getting out of hand. Don't all these 'noname' independant musicians realize that this is free publicity for them. People find one or two songs from a 'noname' and like them.. then they go and buy the CD. Next thing these music producers and publishers are going to sue their own mothers for singing them to sleep when they were young kids, because their mom didn't get permission from the artist. I think it's time to start a new name for mp3s and make people just go back to using IRC. I liked the Internet about 3 years ago.. No ads, and no one paid attention to the fact that we were all stealing music.

  5. Re:The problem with broadband in the US on Excite@Home May Have To Call It Quits · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Anyone paying up to $2,600 for a T1 is stupid.
    There are many companies offering services for less that $1000 for unlimted 1.54Mbps with a CIR of 512K. I have even seen a company offering unlimited 1.54 Mbps for $549. Both these pricing uncluding local loop charges.

  7. Re:Why not build your own? on Rackmounting at Home? · · Score: 1

    I have built my own racks for audio gear before. When it came time to get same racks for some servers, I decided not to make racks because I wanted there to be good air-flow. If you plan on making your own racks make this a big consideration in your design

  8. skb and music audio racks on Rackmounting at Home? · · Score: 1

    The problem with these cases are they are made to store audio gear that is less that 22" long. Most server case are 24-26". At least mine are. So you can have the server hang out the back but that is lame and misses the point. There is a company called Raxxess that makes enclosures that are longer than 22" they have a product called a KAR-18-26, which I have used and works great for servers.

    I just installed it on my machine at work which is a 466 celeron with 384MB RAM and it seems a little chunky. Anyone else having this problem. IF not what processor are you using.?
