The Explorer related recall aparently had some number of causes. Firestone was claiming that people were not inflating tires properly so the ride would be smoother. They said Ford had not made changes to the US model Explorer that it had in other countries.
I don't think the reasons for that recall (PR has gotta be a big one) are as straight foreward as a design flaw. I do know that improper tire inflation can cause damage that will lead to blowouts.
I can't get it to play unprotected WMA files without playback glitching (latest build). It play one minute or so worth of audio in one second, then it plays is fine for a few more minutes before it happens again.
Playback of these same files on other platforms has no issues.
Multicore chips don't list clock speed as a sum (at least in the land of POWER). If I get a system with dual core 4.1 GHZ chip in it, each core is running at 4.1 GHZ not 2.05 GHZ.
I have a question about PC speaker setups. I have two computer desks (both desks are the same) in different rooms that seem to experience the same kind of issue. The computer desks are metal frame (1 inch tube it looks like) with wood planks for all horizontal shelves. If you took the wood off it would look like a giant evil antenna of some dubious type.
The first is a simple 2 speaker powered unit (one speaker has the power supply and amp built in) so the (it appears to be shielded) audio cable comes out of the PC (onboard AC97) and into it. Then a smaller wire (also appears to be shielded) comes from the other speaker into an RCA jack. We get a loud hum/buzzing that I have never had before with these speakers on other tables/desks. We have found we can reduce/eliminate it with moving/bundling the excess length of cables in various ways.
The second is a 3 speaker setup. Power supply and amp are in the "subwoofer" and the 2 side speakers use unshielded thin wire to pinch type connectors on the main unit. When it gets the noise, it is much worse then the other set of speakers and I can even hear voices/music faintly under the buzz. I think the computer desk is helping it act like a radio, because if I wedge my foot under the bottom metal bar on one side the hum will go away, or if I reach back to the rear of the desk near the system and speaker cases. As soon as I move away it will get worse again. I tried some ferrite bar thingies and they seemed to help but I think rather then them helping, it was me moving the cables when I put them on, that cleared up the noise.
I have the speaker wires looped so that it is not happening any more. What part of this mess is to blame or is it a group effort? I suspect that the metal frame of the computer desk combined with power and other cables running around is helping the issue, but I won't rule out the cheap wires that are affixed to the side speakers with the second system. All the wires on the first system are standard off the shelf and seem well shielded. I tested them with my main amp and a walkman and could not get noise from them.
Cleaning after polishing anything from a corroded state is a given IMO.
Unless you live in a open house by the sea or other high humidity area, how quick do connections corrode? I don't seem to see any show up for years in my area/climate.
Ten! How do you get your amp to go past zero? Maybe mine is broken, it goes from negative infinity (sideways 8) to zero. Zero is quite loud (can probably kill speakers) so I can't imagine what ten sounds like. I imagine someone out there has one that goes all the way to eleven.

Civility!
That people have not updated to the new Beast numbering of 616.
I was hoping the PS3 would be able to play SkyGunner without the massive frame drops and slideshow problem when you play it at full resolution.
So like The REgister?
Do they have a asshat like Andrew Orlowski on editorial staff as well?
You would be suprised at how many people got it just from seeing the humor vid.
I think it's time to sing the plucking song.

You still see sized like 20GB in smaller form factor drives.
Shush. That could cut into my market for wireless ethernet cables.
American Electric Power provides me with such advanced power my microwave now displays that funky Predator style stuff on the readout.
Not acording to Monster Cable, this is based the last time I looked at the web site and read some of the marketing.
Notice my use of the word "open". I was thinking about that island/house/thing that Richard Branson owns.

"it's like those anime fans who tried to kill Hideaki Anno."
Who, what, when? I cant seem to find any info on this.
Do either the red or blue pills help with the problem?

The important thing is to realize that and embrace it(not just for grapes).
Let your cider go a little bit boozy.

And a little lemon juice or (if you want to get fancy) brasso will clean it up good.
"The speaker cone is not going to move at the speed light."
You just havent been to enough Disaster Area concerts.
My Wireless Ethernet cables give infinite data transmission advantages to the user.
Given my and others age, probably many. But I could not help the image popping into my head.
Do some reasearch into the Glycemic Index of the foods you eat. That may help make sense of some things.
"The latter may awake thoughts and instincts which are not awaken by the former."
There go my hopes for a good console version of Killer Instinct and an inspirational Mii called Jack Handy.
We should also ban alarm clocks and imported spice, otherwise the sleeper may awaken.
