  1. Cool, nano-tech. Spray on bike once a year = wash and wax. No more polishing those pesky spokes. Wonder if it works at high temp such as on pipes

    Moving up from "Wild Monkey Sex"
  3. or a huge, um bird?!? Next up.. An honest politician
  4. Why? Really why a v-strom instead of something else. As in, what was your motivation? Why this instead of that?
  5. Looks pretty good. Like the pictures being larger on the mouse over. Not a fan of the style of the site, never did like black backgrounds. Makes it seem small and cramped. Don't forget to leave a couple of extra fields in the data base for the new search terms you will think up next week/month.
  6. Not enough info to give you a real guess. Caspers numbers for the actual person seem about right. Part time work as long as you don't have an official that wants to pester them all day with things like... "Could you move that comma to here and install a flaming rolling logo here, and could we try this sentence with a different font...." As the web help runs screaming for the exit.
  7. Got a little wind today. Only 10-15 miles but it was a much needed fix for the winter blues. It felt so good to be out there in the breeze again.
  8. Nothing wrong with 80's bikes. Look at it this way, if it's still running it's going to keep running!
  9. Climate researchers have discovered that NASA researchers improperly manipulated data in order to claim 2005 as "THE WARMEST YEAR ON RECORD." KUSI-TV meteorologist, Weather Channel founder, and iconic weatherman John Coleman will present these findings in a one-hour special airing on KUSI-TV on Jan.14 at 9 p.m. A related report will be made available on the Internet at 6 p.m. EST on January 14th at www.kusi.com. In a new report, computer expert E. Michael Smith and Certified Consulting Meteorologist Joseph D'Aleo discovered extensive manipulation of the temperature data by the U.S. Government's two primary climate centers: the National Climate Data Center (NCDC) in Ashville, North Carolina and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) at Columbia University in New York City. Smith and D'Aleo accuse these centers of manipulating temperature data to give the appearance of warmer temperatures than actually occurred by trimming the number and location of weather observation stations. The report is available online at http://icecap.us/images/uploads/NOAAroleinclimategate.pdf. The report reveals that there were no actual temperatures left in the computer database when NASA/NCDC proclaimed 2005 as "THE WARMEST YEAR ON RECORD." The NCDC deleted actual temperatures at thousands of locations throughout the world as it changed to a system of global grid points, each of which is determined by averaging the temperatures of two or more adjacent weather observation stations. So the NCDC grid map contains only averaged, not real temperatures, giving rise to significant doubt that the result is a valid representation of Earth temperatures. - So now its all she said, he said over the data that isn't there anymore. More info here... http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=30000 And on a related note, No more cheeseburgers due to cow farts! A national beef group is invoking the so-called "Climategate" controversy as it challenges a recent U.S. government ruling on climate change. The National Cattlemen's Beef Association has filed a petition to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. to overturn the EPA's recent greenhouse gas "endangerment" ruling. The ruling states that gases believed to cause global warming pose a human health risk and is the first step toward their regulation by the EPA under the Clean Air Act. The NCBA and other producer groups fear the ruling could lead to lawsuits and new restrictions on the nation's livestock industries. More of this insanity here..... http://www.capitalpress.com/lvstk/TH-beef-appeal-011510 - I still say it's religion, not science. - Hence the only legal way for the Govt to get us onto their religion is tax us into believing.

  11. And the latest theory is....... Norway Time Hole “Leak” Plunges Northern Hemisphere Into Chaos. Russian scientists are reporting to Prime Minister Putin today that the high-energy beam fired into the upper heavens from the United States High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) radar facility in Ramfjordmoen, Norway this past month has resulted in a “catastrophic puncturing” of our Plant’s thermosphere thus allowing into the troposphere an “unimpeded thermal inversion” of the exosphere, which is the outermost layer of Earth’s atmosphere. To the West’s firing of this ‘quantum’ high-energy beam we had previously reported on in our December 10, 2009 report titled “Attack On Gods ‘Heaven’ Lights Up Norwegian Sky”. To how catastrophic for our Planet this massive thermal inversion has been Anthony Nunan, an assistant general manager for risk management at Mitsubishi Corporation in Tokyo, is reporting today that the entire Northern Hemisphere is in winter chaos, with the greatest danger from this unprecedented Global event being the destruction of billions of dollars worth of crops in a World already nearing the end of its ability to feed its self. So powerful has this thermal inversion become that reports from the United States are stating that their critical crops of strawberries, oranges, and other fruits and vegetables grown in their Southern States, are being destroyed by record cold temperatures. The US is further reporting record amounts of snowfall in what they are now warning may be their worst winter in 25 years.

  12. I think the newest theory is sunspot activity. But your right the Earth's orbit is not stable, It moves in and out and the axis tilts. Sadly it's not SUV's, so there is nothing to tax, but they are still trying to tax us over it. Cap and Trade and the like. I think the email leak had something to do with it as well. The perception that the science guys were cooking the books didn't help their cause any. True or not, the perception that they might have didn't sit well with a lot of people. Then there is the data replication problem where their facts and figures can't be checked. The Kyoto treaty, which didn't really do anything except take money out of the rich nations and give to the poor sounded nice. Until the poor nations found out the "payments" were coming out of their foreign aid support funds and they weren't getting any new money, just the same old money with a new title. Small revolt at the UN! The more this hits the news the more it all looks like a shell game with us as the mark. IDK, it seems more like a religion to me than a science at this point. With "True Believers", "Blasphemers", "Deniers" and all other manners of name calling without much in the way of real discussion. I always did wonder how global warming could be proved by actual cooling?!? Sounds more like faith than facts.
  13. As I said, in the day... That said I like Linux. Sadly most game mfg's don't support it. Can you imagine, MS doesn't port their X-Box games to linux? [chuckle]
