He spelled it right. I was congratulating him on being the first at CR to do so...

 

Me I spell Lose -> W.I.N.

 

I also spell Loose -> O.R.I.O.N.

 

*zing*

Wow. I'm jealous. Of course like an idiot I went back to a black car. Many days of washing in my future....

 

Beautiful car and picture, btw. Forgot to say that earlier.

Yeah, no doubt.

 

Sam - question on the photoshoot. Looks like it was still snowy/wet out there, so I assume salt was around too. Did you wipe the car down after you got it into position?

 

Just curious about the mechanics of shooting a good car pic.

I'd probably lose in source, but I'll take whoever wants it in condition zero.

 

I seriously, just went 50-0 last night on dust2 in a pub 8 on 8.

At least you didn't loose - big thumbs up on that.

 

As for the 50-0: wallhacking, aimbotting, mofo.

LOL - thought you got the memo: when one makes big numbers, they all et quicker. Very complicated and technical, some sort of communal/Borgian shared-resource sort of thing. Something to do with quantum mechanics and vtec. Amazing stuff really.

 

Anyway, news is two Civic EXs just broke into the 12s after their owners read that....

 

Anyhow, enough teasing - congrats on the big numbers, pbsracerx.

Theres not a feedback circuit on the tranny skipshift right? From what I understand the Eliminator is just a big 50ohm resister you put inline with the socket to the tranny. But I'm curious if there's anything the OBD could read or log that'd hork my warranty?

I flew EA-6B Prowlers in the Navy. About 800 hours in civilian single E, 200 or so 2E. Got my IFR in a 70s Warrior:

Nothing like it. Some things become 2nd nature, but just like riding a bike you better never "zone out" at the yoke. Haven't flown now in like 5 years. Brother-in-law and I were going to go co-op in a Cherokee, but then they started having kids... and soon so will I. Expensive hobby, but a blast.

OMG - ALL THOSE BUILDINGS ARE FALLING OVER!

OMG - ALL THOSE BUILDINGS ARE FALLING OVER!

I loved the Cobra too. I just needed more doors.

 

Nah KBond I wasn't downtown Friday. I was Weds, though.

...And 108 other Hondas in Columbus just got a 50hp bump in output...

Mmmm Mallet. Winner of the CD Supercar Challenge (for sedans). Too bad I don't have an extra $70k to blow....

Dang 'chet, is your sarcasm detector turned off this morning or something?

 

 

BTW - K cars can't make power.

The 03 Cobras used a completely new tranny from previous ones - the Tremece T56 6speed. A first in a public Ford (2000 Cobra Rs notwithstanding). Also used in the Fbods, Corvettes and now the CTS-V. Very stout and little chance of bent shift forks in it.

 

But the shifter still sucked, mostly I think due to the position it ended up being placed in when the T56 was mounted in the Cobra.

Hondas can't make power.

thanks for the tips. both of those were meant to be used by embedded java applets - our java that needs to capture the event will be out of context from the html itself, and outside the encapsulated browser.

 

we're using jdic to encapsulate the browser - it exposes 4 methods in its interface, and we think we have a way to use one of them to accomplish what we need.

OMFG That is hilarious!

This story sounds kinda made up. Not saying you made it up, it just has that ring to it. Curious its origin. Where'd you hear it?

It can also be argued that reason that the line of oriental martial history is so unbroken is because they were simply good at it...

True. And that is the arguement one most hears, yes. Passionately often. But I tend to agree with the growing voices that say other cultures dropped their practical swordsmanship when guns became de riguere, and that japan's isolation and cultural circumstances awarded them the luxury of allowing them to continue to polish and specialize theirs.

 

Are oriental swordsmanship techniques and manufacture better than others today? I won't argue hard against that. But were they better in say 1100AD than say their contemporary viking, arab, and european manufacturing and usage counterparts? I no longer beleive that.

 

...Not only is it a Katana, but it is the Niten Ichi style, a Paul Chen...

Paul Chens are excellent moderns swords for the money. And his replicas show real attention to detail. My brother in law bought a Paul Chen Schiavona last summer and its really nice.

 

I have a Del Tin Antiche war sword thats pretty nice, I'll see if I can take a picture of it. Its 56" total length (hand and a half pattern) and yet is under 5 lbs. You'd like it, it'd be your size.
