  1. Seems I've read a hundred times that if the city knew about the pothole (by someone calling it in) and you hit it before they fix it, then they will reimburse you. YRMV EDIT: Here's a link to the City of C-Bus pothole page. Can e-mail them or call it in. Could find nothing about reimbursement.
  2. Yup, October 2009. Not "draft n" any longer. Hasn't really changed in 3 years.
  3. UGH! Thanks for posting that... Makes 2 girls/1 cup look like Disneyland. Maybe she should have used rubbing alcohol instead of spreading that nastiness around with a paper towell? And who said 'roids cause backne?
  4. n > g > b. n+ is not a standard. If your netbook has an 'n' adapter, might as well get an 'n' router Look here for a 10 minute project to screw with thieving neighbors by turning their browser upside down if/when they're on your network. You could also become a man-in-the-middle and see everything they're doing. Just for fun, of course, you wouldn't actually make use of their online banking or credit card info.... If he's doing any file transfers, music/video streaming, etc. on his home network he will definitely notice the difference, and the 'n' routers have much better effective range both indoors and out. Now that the 'n' standard is actually a standard, no reason not to use it, imho. Never used Netgear personally but have read good things about them.
  5. So ohdaho, are you asking for Dayton-area restaurants, or just our favorites regardless of location?
  6. Never heard "Rune" and "sexy" in the same sentence unless "not" was immediately in front of "sexy". I happen to like the Honda CBR1000RR/Fireblade the guy included.
  7. Quotes from 3 famous Americans and one/numerous Canadians come to mind: "Good grief" ...Charlie Brown "Great googly moogly" ...Frank Zappa "Shut up stoopid" ...that dude "Holy smokes" ...random Canadian(s)

  9. I'll host it for $1500/annum - you get me the deal and I'll kick $500 back to ya....
  10. Based upon the amount of content there (not a lot, file-size wise), you could find one of the big name companies (GoDaddy, 1and1, etc.) that would host it for $50/year. If the "regular" updates are only twice/month uploading of a .PDF file, anyone could do that - it doesn't take a "webmaster" to FTP a file.

    bored??

    looks like from the edit history it was "Cherokee sucks". nice! Guess someone did a dot slash configure, make, make install, it didn't just magically work, he couldn't be bothered to read the man page, and posted his thoughts.
  12. My e-feelings are much better now! FWIW I just got back from 90 minutes on the bike and my brakes "feel" great! My hands are cold, though...
  13. I didn't know I was arguing against you... I actually wasn't trying to argue at all. Guess I shouldn't have brought "feel" into it when I was attempting to emphasize the "know" part. They will feel better with fresh fluids. Pads, too. No shit? My point was the positive psychological component that comes from knowing you have "high performance" parts on your bike, when you probably can't use, at least on the street, any advantages they might offer. Kinda like when I put a slip-on muffler on my 85hp bike. Allegedly I gained maybe, <maybe> 5 hp at 11 or 12,000 RPM. The gain between 3 and 9,000 RPM, where I ride most of the time is neglible, but my bike sounds better, "feels" faster, and thus it <is> faster. My seat-of-the-pants dyno, connected to my brain dyno, tells me so. For my example I gained 5% hp. If I did 0-60 in 4 seconds before, I should be 5% faster, or 2/10 of a second. Can I tell the difference between 3.8 and 4 seconds without a stopwatch? No, but it felt faster. I am not a brake line expert. I have no idea if SS is better than rubber. Seems to me it should be. Could I feel the difference? I doubt it. Can the experienced trackday guy, who's riding at 90% plus all day long feel it? I'll bet (s)he can.
  14. Let's not forget that us "street" riders who don't go to the track (maybe someday) are not riding our bikes anywhere near their limits and probably wouldn't be able to tell any difference between OEM and SS. If the OP, or any of us put SS lines on, we "know" they're better/higher performance (whether they are or not has already been debated ad nauseam). So now we have "better" brakes. Maybe, just maybe, we can "feel" that they're better and thus will be more confident when using them, i.e. not afraid to use the front and the back at the same time, and with a firmer pull on the lever/push on the pedal, and this just might result in one less meeting between a bike's front end and a car/truck rear bumper. The psychological part plays a large role in all of this. You think/know your brakes are "better" so you use them "better". Is the move from OEM rubber to SS worth it? Sure, if only in the $$ saved from needing to replace rubber.
  15. If you still have the XP or Vista CD that came with it, just do a reinstall of the operating system. Won't be 100% wiped out, but unless someone goes through A LOT of work they won't be able to get anything off of it. Or for a "more secure feeling", download Darin's Boot and Nuke (DBaN) here (click), then do the OS reinstall (the buy your stuff website wants/pays more if the there's an OS installed, and it'll take less than an hour).
  16. Flagged for Best of Craigslist. I don't care who ya are, that's funny right there...
  17. It doesn't. I tried to post screen caps, but they resize too small. Click here to see the site itself, be sure to read the yellow box toward the top, and the message next to the triangle with an exclamation point on the right side.

  19. They'll buy my work laptop for $338. "...umm, boss, someone stole my lapper and I, umm, need a new one..." If I pull this off (i.e. stay employed and out of jail), the next OR party is on me!
  20. Gotta find me a short woman. A really short woman. I met Looney at the food drive at Honda NW a couple of months back. For a white guy he has one hell of a tan!
  21. I got there at 11:50. At 12:10 went over to some guy sitting by himself. "Are you Cheech?" I asked. "No". "Are you Hue?" "No." At 12:15 I order my grub. At 12:35 I pay my bill and leave. At 12:36 I see OsuMj pull in - we chat awhile, she became lost downtown, then was looking for Jed's on Polaris. Oh well, maybe next time. PS: Food good; not great, not awful, but good. Lotsa food for the monies. 6 or 7 out of 10.
