    Sometimes the most advanced devices are thwarted with the oldest technics. Drill it out.

  2. Re:VoIP access throughout the house..... on VoIP Questioned · · Score: 1

    I have Vonage.. and here is your answer. Disconnect your phone line from the box outside of the house. Now take the outlet on your ATA and plug it in to a wall outlet. Viola... every other jack is hot. Or use a splitter and even have a phone at that location.

    You're not being very specific there, but I take it you are reffering tot he 100-something lost episodes of Dr. Who? Unless I am mistaken it was not a matter or them not planning on having an archive, but that two diffrent locations assumed the other had the archives and destroyed thier copies. Of course... I could be mistaken.

    They're gonna need a 5 row aluminum radiator to cool it! Don't forget the high flow water pump. I'm expecting to see them balanced and blueprinted, knife edged, full roller, ported, polished, nitrous injected, and blown. Damn... I wanted to say bumpstick in there somewhere... hehe bumpstick...

  7. Re:Not short enough on Building A Homebrew Robotic Lawnmower? · · Score: 1

    I'm all for hiring the local kid. Have you actually tried that lately? Not likely going to happen. Most kids won't due it or charge as much as a professional service. Keep in mind all those parts they buy go intot he economy too. And we all know alot of parts are gonna be bought. And if they do come up with something that goe sinto production, that creates jobs too.

    When I read crap like your comment, I really question the sanity of the so-called nerds, and I wonder if I shouldn't hand in my membership card. You do realize that some people have medical issues that could benefit form this. some people have allergic reactions to contend with, some people may be physically disabled in some way. Some people may spend their weekends building homes for Habitat for Humanity. Some people may just freaking hate mowing the yard and prefer to wor out at a gym for physical excercise. Some people may tend to suffer from heat exhaustion. Don't be so quick to judge.

  9. Re:1/2inch or 13mm wrench? on Our Friend, The Meter · · Score: 1

    Well, I was making a joke there :) I realize the sizes are diffrent. Usually I have no problem either way. Of course.. my Craftsman tools aren't likely to have good tolerances. I would imagine my results would be diffrent using a Snap-On or other quality wrench. And maybe if I didn;t beat mine with a hammer on occassion ;) My main complaint is cars that have both (an '83 GMC I once owned for instance). I really could care less either way. I just wish they would pick one! I personally prefer metric not because of the saneness of the system but because it just seems easier to tell the correct size by looking. But maybe that is just me...

  10. 1/2inch or 13mm wrench? on Our Friend, The Meter · · Score: 1

    Damn these cars and trucks made with half metric and half standard nuts/bolts. I know I can use either wrench. But really... which one of them should I be using on which bolt? If I use the 1/2inch wrench... maybe it was really a 13mm bolt. Or what if it is the other way around?!?! It's so damned confusing!

    Every single person I know who has used cingular (or before that Houston Cellular) has had nothing but overcharges. One of my friends was being charged for like 2 hours of taslk time when his phone showed 30min or so ued. They said that they rounded up per the minute. Yeah.. so they are saying he makes like 15 second calls? I refused to deal with them.. thye just seem like crooked bastards. I'm currently with T-Mobile... amazingly I seem to pay the same price every month.. the base price for my plan.

    Call me crazy.. but there is nothing I despise more than bottom posting. I want to see what the latest additon to the comments are. I only want the previous info in case I need to go back and pick up on a topic I was not involved in form the begining or refresh myself. Otherwise I would rather not scroll the 5000 lines of crap to get the 3 new lines that really matter. I don't go looking on the last page of a newspaper for the latest news.

    These running fanatics have a screw loose. They spend a fortune on these fancy shoes looking to improve their perfomance. Yet they always get beaten by some guy from Africa that's never even owned a pair of shoes.

    I admit it. I watched John Doe! I liked the show myself. It was really building up to have a good story arc. What a cliffhanger to end the show on! My wife would even watch the show with me.

It's nie to be able to watch something besides Trading Spaces with the SO. Especially without Vern...
