    Indeed, I ride and with my experiences the more noise the make the better you feel. Watching someone half ass look to see if you are in the way and change lanes is scary business when you are on a bike. But if you are making some noise they kind of look around like what the heck is that and notice you. Although I cant help but picture the South Park episode with the bikers yelling bike noises when people stopped looking at them lol.

  10. Re:Kinda sucks on Is E85 Dead Now? · · Score: 1

    The high demand for F-150's is probably the businesses buying up new trucks to replace all their old ones last year. That is a huge market on top of regular consumer purchases and inflates the number of sales to make it look good. And besides the 3.7 V6 in the Ford drops to 4 cylinders when cruising and gets up to 25mpg on its finest hour which for a truck is good. Speaking my old F150 got 16 on a good day haha.

  11. Re:10% Ethanol mileage loss claim-- CALLING BS on Is E85 Dead Now? · · Score: 1

    Technically it would depend on his current gas mileage with E10 and what he got with his normal fuel. If he got 10 mpg because he drives a big suburban and it dropped to 9 mpg isn't that a 10% decrease in gas mileage?

    On the other hand you are right about the weather conditions and warm up times skewing the numbers a bit that most people don't even think about. Let alone just engaging your vehicle in 4x4 drops your gas mileage a few MPGs just being on in normal conditions.

    Sorry should of been more specific in my details. Her mac was not affected or harmed by viruses for they were encoded for windows. But she used file and picture sharing on the network between the two devices. She also did this with a thumb drive quite often. Her kids used the Mac quite frequently and she never had any sense of where not to go on the internet for her thinking of Mac's being secure so she opened everything she came across. But when she was moving files around they were becoming infected and being stored in the Mac for safe keeping and coming back when she did something else. So when the virus scanner ran it found all those files that were infected or moved over. She has had that Mac for 5+ years and has never done anything but use it. Sorry to inflame you so much you get upset and defend your OS but I was trying to relay that Macs are not as safe as some wish to think and sometimes your virus infected files can be on that machine if you have no security on that Mac what so ever.

    "Personally I don't run any antivirus... ...and I haven't had a single malware in like 10 years"

    How can you know that for sure?

    It probably has something to do with the fruit-shaped logo on his computer. ;) (I can say the same thing, for the same reason)

    I have someone at work think the exact same thing "My Apple is immune!" well her work PC started to get viruses and bog down and eventually crashed on her. She contacted me when the crash happened claiming all she does is work on it and Windows was garbage. I asked her to run a Anti-virus/Malware scan on her Mac, she argued she didn't have to and it was Windows fault for being lame. Finally she did it and what did she find? About 300 or so viruses or malware files on the Mac that were using it as a gateway to infect other machines on her home network. I cleaned both out and checked the quarantine log in her work laptop and it was finding a virus file for about 3 months every week or so until it got overwhelmed one day.

    Moral of the story is even if your Mac isnt showing signs of viruses they are probably there and if not doing damage directly they are using it as a launching pad to get to other devices on your network.

  19. Re:First Pandas on Diablo 3 Coming To Consoles · · Score: 1

    Diablo, Warcraft 2, and starcraft were pretty bad on consoles then. Had a friend who got them and saw me play on PC and was like "WTF this sucks" and bought a PC to play games on. Hopefully they learned some lessons and with the advancement of consoles they can do something good. Still an overhead RPG with an analog stick makes me cringe.

  20. Facepalm on Diablo 3 Coming To Consoles · · Score: 1

    This makes me extremely nervous for this game. I was already feeling a little meh about them taking out certain other aspects like potions and trading them in for health orbs. I would rather not loose some in game depth or functionality because PC can do it but consoles can't so lets take it out of the game altogether. This is one game that they are changing so much stuff on I won't preorder it but rather wait and see how it turns out and wait for it to go on sale after I read reviews and what not. Don't hate what they are doing yet but I feel unsure... and scared... someone hold me...

    I caught my Ex-Girlfriend cheating on me on Facebook actually. It wasn't because of Facebook she was cheating it was because she was turning into a slut and meet some dude while out at a party and used it as a communications medium to flirt and plan meetings. Well being the awesome hacker I am I tried my password in her Facebook account (my windows password to get on my laptop a easy meh its there password) and whoa! I am on her facebook and look here all these messages. I don't blame facebook, it is like stated above it is just a tool and it was misused to do wrong.
