In Pennsylvania they will continue to pull you clear to the curb and ticket you. They have a law on the books that if you are lagging in the left lane and holding up traffic you will be fined. That twit was lucky they weren't a few bills lighter in the wallet.

Found this one today, not a fast pass but he wins for sheer lack of altitude. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=da9_1301883563

I use it on my Linux machines and it seems to work just fine.

I have nothing in the new car, just the factory stereo. My last car was an '01 GTI and I had 1500watts worth of stuff in that car. Front's and rear's where Boston Acoustics Pro6.5 speakers powered from a JL audio 300/4 amp. 75 watts to each of the 4 channels. Subs where a pair of 10 inch Eclipse 88100dvc's wired for 1ohm and being powered by an Orion HCCA 275G4 competition amp. It was pushing 1200watts into the subs. I had the remote gain control so you could back the subs down when you wanted to listen to normal music. I also ran an Audio Controls EQ, a pair of optima batteries, 1 farad cap on the stereo, a .25 farad cap for the engine computer, a custom 265 amp Bosch alternator and enough 4 gauge wire to weigh down a small country. Here are pics of the amp and subs when I had them pulled out when I sold the car. (and yes the floor tiles are 1 foot squares, it's a friggin big amp:rolleyes:)

Sorry, maybe the sarcasm didn't come across strong enough. I meant to say that if you leave your gun in the safe untouched for 5-6 years, when it doesn't work it is probably operator error. Edit, I currently have 10 guns that are all over 60 years old. Only one of them is known to have springs installed recently and it is my Garand that is tuned for match shooting. I can gladly attest to the fact that 60-100 year old springs work darn good.

You can search youtube for detail stripping videos for the J-frame. Basically what you want to do is tap the handle frame on the rh side(hit the same side the sideplate is on but not the plate itself) with a plastic or leather hammer (plastic screwdriver handle will work also). The weight and inertia of the side plate will cause it to pull free of the frame when you do this. You should never pry on the sideplate as it will only damage things.

Springs in any gun will get weak with age. The amount of time that is required depends on design and how poorly it was made. I have had mag springs fail within two years of buying a gun (ramline 10-22 mags). I also currently own guns that are close to 100 years old and the springs could very well be the same age and they work perfectly (Enfield No1mk3, 1911 dated). For me personally all of my defensive handguns are kept loaded. All the mags for those handguns are also loaded. Like others have said there is no use for owning a defensive gun and leaving all of them unloaded and locked up. The rifles I leave unloaded but I have hundreds of rounds on stripper clips or in mags that would take less than a few seconds to be put in the guns while I covered myself with the handguns. If you use yours guns to practice regularly you will recognize problems with your firearms caused by weak springs and it will be a simple, cheap repair. If you leave them locked up in your safe for 5-6 years at a time loaded with ammo you may have a problem when you need the gun but it may truly come down to unfamiliarity with your weapon. Get out and shoot them and be proficient, ammo still costs less than yours or a loved ones life.

Couple hundred in the safe in mags and on clips. Plenty more spread between sealed spam cans, 50cal cans and wooden crates.

I would like to call it spirited, speed limits are suggestions anyway aren't they. Normally my riding is centered somewhere between cruiser touring speed and track day speed. I have no problem going fast but I like knowing that if a corner catches me off guard there is still a fair margin of lean angle left if needed.

Ok, so none of them are on my bike but I did take all of the photo's myself.

The I5 650 is a dual core cpu with Hyperthreading. Not a true 4 core CPU.

Huh, that's odd. I had always heard that Para was one of the better manufacturers. You use oil or grease to lube it? I run grease on the moving parts of all my semi-auto guns, barrel, frame rails and recoil spring in this case. It seems to last longer during long days at the range and doesn't throw off the slide and end up all over your face like some of the thinner oils can. I use a white calcium based grease made by Lubriplate but pretty much anything you can get at an auto parts store for wheel bearings is good stuff. Several people I have shot with in the past have sworn by the black molly grease you use to pack cv joints with. The pound can I have now will probably last me another 10-15 years as a little bit goes a long way.

Jeez man, what brand 1911 do you have. I have a full size Springfield loaded model I picked up back in '99 that has been the raw definition of perfect. I have well in excess of 10K rounds through it. Heck two sets of mainsprings (one every 5K needed or not) and the normal cleaning and care is the only thing I have had to do to the handgun in the past 12 years. I can honestly say I don't think the gun has had a single on range malfunction the entire time I have owned it.

The Taurus Judge will shoot .45 colt and .410 shotgun shells. Any .357 Magnum revolver can shoot .38's (don't try the other way around) CZ-52 shoots 7.62x25 Tokerev and with only a barrel change will shoot 9mm. Most .40 S&W can be converted with a barrel change to shoot .357Sig The Medusa 47 could shoot anything from .380's, .38 special, 9mm to .357magnum without any changes. You also have the more hunting oriented Thompson pistols that with a barrel change can shoot anything from the new .17 rounds clear up to .30-06

Can't argue with that logic other than rain doesn't cause them to do that. It happens daily. Those twits and the woman with the makeup and cell phones while yelling at the youngin' in the back seat will get you also.

This is reason #4 on the list of why to wear all the gear all the time and to be sure your bike is in perfect condition. In this state you never know when you will be riding home in a thunderstorm. I've already been caught in two storms so far this season, certainly not by design but it does happen.

First thing I would do is take the scope off and make sure the gun hits correctly with iron sights (hopefully it has them). Once you are sure the gun doesn't have a problem then you can troubleshoot the scope. Here is an apples to oranges problem I have seen but it may cross over into your situation also. I had one of the Beretta Neos pistols in .22 with a Millet red dot on it. When the scope was new it worked perfectly and was accurate. About 3-4 months into owning it I noticed the scope was starting to lose accuracy. After looking into it one of the lens's inside the scope had come loose and you could see an o-ring hanging down between two of the lens's. I sent it in for repair and they said it wasn't assembled correctly and returned it repaired. This cycle repeated every few months until the warranty ran out. Seams that a 22 semi-auto pistol can actually do a fair amount of damage to a cheaply made optic. As a side note, I have seen some of the less expensive scopes that came with the marking reversed for the adjustment. You had to turn them the opposite direction from the print on the knob to get them to go in the correct direction. Don't know if you gave that a try but it couldn't hurt.

Just get on 70 and head East for roughly 7 hours till you reach Philly. The guys pushing shopping carts down the street make better pizza that most places in Ohio. Sorry for everyone that grew up in this area but the pizza in this city is terrible. Picnic Pizza out in Zanesville is about the closest I have found in this area to what I grew up eating.

Are we going to have to suffer and deal with Steam on this release?

I call dibs. Will send PM with more info.

Don't know about motorcycle batteries but I knew several people that worked for Deka when I lived in Reading Pa, and swore by the car and truck batteries they made. The plant was local so it was nice to say it is made in USA and supported the economy in the area. Don't know how much was company coolaid. The battery I had in my Oldsmobile was a Deka and was going strong for 8 years before I sold the car. Certainly can't say to expect that from all of them.

When I can get away with it I wear leather work boots. If I am doing a dedicated day ride I have a pair of Sidi B2 boots. Why wear a helmet, coat, riding pants and gloves and then skimp on footwear?

Primers and powder yes, ammo no for hazmat. Most places ship ammo cheaper than you would pay locally in tax. Now granted I usually buy in bulk when I order online. If I'm not getting 500-1000rds it doesn't pay to bother online.

You need the high performance client from here; http://folding.stanford.edu/English/DownloadWinOther Then follow the directions from this page; http://folding.stanford.edu/English/WinGPUGuide#ntoc4 for the multi-gpu system. I have to turn off SLI to get the cards to run properly. The new nvidia drivers seem to be a lot better at switching between SLI and not without crashing the pc. Makes it easier when I turn off folding to go back to gaming and get the cards back in sli mode. Oh and I added my F@H stats to my sig.

I've turned just under 4k points since turning them on around midnight last night. Should work out to around 9-10,000 daily if things stay the same. I could throw folding on my two storage servers also and start rocking a pair of nvidia 8800gt's for another couple thousand a day. The only problem is they are single slot coolers and the fans are dreadful running near 100%. My gtx260's currently only need about 60% fan speed so the noise isn't as bad.
