  1. Judging from the posted pic, I will bet that the silver trim around the gas tank is a 'chrome' door edge guard for cars/trucks you can find in the auto parts section at your favorite store (Wally World, Target, etc.). Easy mod, $5. <thread jack> Why does the spel cheker think 'favorite' is spelt rong? </thread jack>
  2. What model Toshiba? Uncle Google can provide a how-to on pulling the CMOS battery. Some (dis) assembly required.
  3. ^^^ huh? Sysinternals http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/default.aspx is a part of Microsoft and has a bunch of utilities that will aid in troubleshooting, among them the Process Explorer, Process Monitor, and the PSTools suite of command-line fun. Are you suggesting anything in particular? As Tom said, 86'ing the CMOS battery should fix it.
  4. Let's goooooooooo and drink some beers!!!! Evidently you've spent time in "the morgue" too...
  5. Nevermind, I was feeling snippy (not toward Shitty or V-Dub), but it has passed. Mom always said if I didn't have something nice to say...., so I'll keep quiet.
  6. 6 Turner-overs. Get over yourself ET, you are NOT the entire team. He'll do well in the NBA, where you don't have to play defense, don't have to play the entire game, and have players around you that have ability. I'd like to see what would happen if he comes back and has a great freshman class (Sullinger, et al) to mentor. Could be magic. Woulda been nice if Deibler had caught fire like he did in the first two tourney games, but he's been like that his entire career - it's either feast or famine. Can't depend upon him for 20+ every game. And why not mix in a 7th player, maybe P.J. Hill? The fellas had to be tired. BUT, this was a team picked pre-season to be 3rd to 5th in the Big 11 and 24th in the nation, so congrats on winning the Big 11 again, ending up 5th (iirc) in the rankings (pre-tourney), getting a #2 seed, and making it to the sweet 16. Over achieving FTW. </soapbox>
  7. Nice keyword meta names Art! "art's coughing", "how not to play bass", "save a drum bang a drummer", "your mom",.... A design issue I have is that on your pop outs the background is red and your titles/links are also red, making it somewhat difficult for my old-man eyes to see the difference or contrast. The only spelling/grammar issue I found is on the Welcome page, at the end of the second section: "The members of Shallowtail have a varied taste in music just as our audience" and it stops there. Your contact section has your home (?) address. Not sure if you want that posted. If fame happens, even on a local level, crazy stalker fans can happen. Phone, e-mail should be enough. Other than those <minor> things I like the site, a lot. All flash, loads quickly, song changes happen quickly, all navigation worked (or at least I couldn't find any that didn't).
  8. :lol: Honda Rebel had it before the 'Wing... Land speed records @ Wikipedia Plenty of BMW, Yamaha, Triumph, H-D; then the pursuers of the record started using those streamlined non-motorcycle-looking things... Back on topic of "fastest production", I'm gonna say the Blackbird in '97 at 178mph, eclipsed by the 'Busa in 1999 at 190mph. Not sure anything's faster. If someone wants to loan me their S1000RR or new RSV4 Factory, I'll be happy to check...!
  9. Draft > bottle. There used to be a cute little barback at the Short North Tavern - she was maybe 5'1", from London, cute as a button, and that accent.....
  10. Bottle of...booze? wine? beer? booze: Irish Mist & ice wine, dessert: Graham's Porto Vintage, 1984 wine, red: Michele Chiarlo Barolo, 1994, 2000, 2001, or 2006 wine, sparkling: Salon Champagne, any vintage (it's only made when the grapes are good enough) wine, white: waste of time (you're flyBOY, not flyGIRL) beer: Bass or St. Pauli Girl "...you never forget your first girl..."
  11. Girl dog - give 'er the shocker. Boy dog - modified shocker (one finger) should work. I mean come on, you're already tickling his balls, time to step yo' game up.. My 85 lb. Appalachian Porch Hound/lap dog would get the desired 'surprised look' on his face if I tried that, which would quickly turn into a "time to kill my owner" look.
  12. That's a Dust, not a Blast.. I used one in my MSF/Rider's Edge class, good, easy handling bike, and not enough power to scare/get a beginner in trouble.
  13. OC48 out through Time Warner. We let them put a tower on a portion of our property so we get a price break. Still not cheap. I tested at home the other day when I get upgraded to Insight "turbo" and was getting a hair over 30 MBps down. It's back at 20 or so now. Gotta love being (seemingly) the only person in the neighborhood on the network...
  14. I've had good luck with Acronis, except their support sucked the one time I needed them. So, don't pay for support. YRMV, but I doubt it. I still use it, though. The Avamar solution me and my team implemented was around $700,000 - but that's for getting approximately 200 remote U.S. servers, 50-ish European and South America servers, and around 300 here in Columbus, backing that all up to disk, keeping 6 months' worth on tier 1 storage and another year on tier 2. Around 400 TB native, 12 TB deduplicated for point-in-time restores. Around 30% of the applications have a 2 hour RTO with 0% lost data. All of the Columbus servers are real-time replicated to a disaster recovery site located in another state. All of the remote servers backup to local disk, which is then carried over the WAN to Columbus. Most (90%) of the Columbus servers and 99% of the remote servers are virtual servers. The only servers I have running on bare metal are a couple that have fax cards in them, the 3 Exchange DAG servers, and a couple of others. Our e-mail system is 3 way redundant - 2 here, 1 at the DR site, each hold about 1/3 of the users, but all 3 are sized so that they can take 100% of the users if need be. 107 TB just for e-mail. 3,330 users. Crazy.
  15. If you have a good backup, the server doesn't die and stupid LUsers don't "accidentally", er, stupidly delete their files... 20+ years experience talkin' here. Avamar (EMC) d2d + deduplication FTMFW.
  16. 1. Grab this: http://www.jblosser.com/ORstuff/acronisur.iso 2. Burn the .iso to CD 3. Connect another drive (thumb, usb-connected ide/sata, whatever) to computer with sketchy drive 4. Boot from CD 5. Create image of machine Now that you have a backup, 6. Watch how 'failed' hard drive works perfectly for years and years.
  17. SMART telling you this? Possibly false positive - had it happen to me before. May or may not be bad. If you can see the data, copy/move it somewhere else, disable SMART in the BIOS, see what happens. Most drives have at least a 3 year warranty these days, so you may be able to get it replaced (unless it's older than that).
  18. Native file system? chkdsk or fsck, depending. gparted will also check drives - ntfs, ext*, hfs+, reiser*, fat*, jfs, etc.
  19. Come on now, millions of Hardley riders can't be wrong - loud pipes save squirrels. Or something like that. I agree: loud(er) does not equal better. <Some> sound = good; too much sound (a.k.a. noise) = bad.
  20. The H-D guys won't wave because they learned in the MSF class to always keep both hands on the handlebars at all times.... I always wave, only once or twice have not received a return wave.
  21. In C-Bus (imho): #1: Iacono's #2: Tommy's #3: Pizza House #3a: Rotolo's Haven't tried Rick's (Grandma's?) shop - not close to home. All-time favorite is Giordano's out of Chicago. Yummmm.
  22. Congratulations on the little one! Back on the scatalogical bent, I seem to remember that I likened baby poop to 'green cement'. Seems like I almost needed a chisel to clean up Jr. sometimes. As you've always heard, 'they grow up fast' so cherish these moments. You seemingly wait forever for them to walk and talk, and then after that it seems like it's always 'sit down and shut up!' My pediatrician told me there's 4 reasons a baby will cry: - they're tired, - they're cold/hot, - they're hungry, - or they just feel like crying! You will feel like Rockefeller once she's not in diapers any longer - one less weekly expense...
  23. Merchants are not allowed, per Visa regulations, to establish a minimum purchase amount, nor attach any surcharge fee to a transaction when you use your Visa card. ...Worked at City National/Bank One/First Chicago/JP Morgan/Chase/whatever in the 80's in the financial card division (FCS for those of you that work there now). Just checked Visa.com, the rules/regs have not changed (3rd item under 'popular topics'). Looks like a fun road!
