  1. if it's any consolation, I'll always think of you as a post-whore

  2. .....you're a dick..... (i'm gonna be thinking about that the rest of the f'ing day now)
  3. ok, i'm not a chemical engineer, but my brother is, and we were talking about this, and i'm a bit confused as to how heat wrap could hurt pipes.... first of all, heat wrap is an insulator. That being the case, the pipe itself loses some of it's ability to dissipate heat through radiant heat transfer to atmosphere. Therefore, when the hot gas travels through the pipe, it retains more of its own heat because the thermal resistance has increased in the pipe as a whole model. This makes the inside of the pipe hotter and the exiting gas hotter, but not the air surrounding the pipe (since it's rate of heat transfer has been reduced). Now, that being said....the only thing we couldn't figure out was how this would interact with the material properties of Ti. We both thought Ti was made specifically for high temps, but we are not materials engineers, so unless there's something we don't know about commercial Ti alloys, I can't see how heat wrap would mess up Ti pipes. I think we all know about heating and cooling cycles making metals brittle, but I thought that was all rapid cooling. It will certainly make them hotter, and maybe the 'blueing' will be worse, but that's all under the wrap anyway, but other than aesthetics, I cannot see a problem. Does any of that follow?
  4. ok Fonz, I talked to the misses about it, and whatever the hell I did this year, it must have been good because she's getting me the suit for Christmas So if you still have the discount, and are still willing to part with it, I'd love to use it.
  5. yea, a lot can happen in 2 years, but it's still cool to look at, and I can't find one that anyone has properly updated.
  6. just for shits, I thought I'd throw this into the "who owns what" debate. It's a little dated by now, but it's only like 2 years old, and it's interesting to look at if nothing else....
  7. ^^ i know...the ol' guy is pretty spry in his later years...
  8. i bet it's a bitch to handle in a drive-thru
  9. you're awesome, and I appreciate it. I will certainly post up here by the end of the weekend to let you know, either way.
  10. Really cool of you to offer it up, and I'll check this weekend - I might be getting a suit for ol' christmas present, and this may be a great if you're still willing/able to let me use it in a few days.
  11. shit, whodey almost made it, except for that whole kid thing.... sorry 'bout your lucky buddy, you were so close.
  12. you reformat your drive with the ever-useful FDISK procedure on the Windows XP install disk. You start/restart your PC with the CD in, boot off of the CD, then format your partition from there. After it's done formatting (which will take a while), then you do a clean install on the blank drive. It's the best way to be sure everything is gone.
  13. sure thing, if you still need it, then I have a dual channel digital scope - 250MHz
  14. German beastiality albino midget gay porn overflow
  15. what kind of bandwidth do you need? how many channels?
  16. what do you need it to do, and how long do you need it?
  17. you really don't even need to clean out the programs first... FDISK is your friend.
