Read up on how he amassed that fortune, then think to yourself "would this formula work for the American Economy?". Anyone who says "yes" is a borderline idiot IMO.

This. Although I have to admit I tend to align with the Democrats on alot of issues, that said I voted for McCain last time around. This time it will be Obama, I personally think he is the lesser of two evils, and I don't trust staunch republicans for shit.

≈and I say Row...Jimmy row...

Not trying to flame here but AJ feel free to correct me if im wrong: an input sun gear is a gear.....right?...shit a differential is an entire gearset in itself. What ever the case you got a good deal but still the diagnosis has me a bit confused. http://i45.tinypic.com/2vhui5c.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/73ovog.jpg

To be completely honest the main reason I like the Nexus is because of the smaller screen size. Like you can hold it securely in one hand, leaving the other hand solely dedicated to browsing/fapping/etc. With the IPAD it just seemed bulky, like the only way I felt comfortable using it was with two hands.

love it, @ $200 it is a steal.

Hand-held battery operated dremel with a mini cutting tool on the end, slice a couple angles on the nut then slap a strip/universal socket on it. Or maybe a good set of needle nosed vice grips super-clamped with a pipe wrench? Sorta hard to say without seeing exactly how much space you have to work with. At any rate blast it with a torch before you attempt anything.

If the friction lining in one or more of the clutch packs is failing/has failed (which I strongly suspect is the case) the metal (clutch) plates will eventually become so hot they weld themselves together and may further damage the trans $$. At that point you go from "fucked" to "really fucked", this is usually indicated by a massive car-shaking "THUNK" while driving, followed by a slurry of expletives - ask me how I know. If you are going to drive it I would run full synthetic fluid with a friction additive, personally I wouldn't drive it until you can get it serviced.

I do have rather effeminate eyes... bitches love mah eyes

Black fluid = contaminated with friction material, meaning a clutch pack is going bad, by the looks of things fast. The squealing you heard was likely metal-on-metal clutch contact, due to the fact the friction surface between the two plates disintegrated. Nothing to do with the T.C. Im guessing a rebuild will be in order in the near future. Was there any fine particulate matter in the pan, like black dust type stuff?

Was wondering when you were going to chime in. The day Apple makes a 200gb hand-held IPOD will be the day I start ripping to flac.

For the dubstep guys on here download the Dubstep.FM stream (http://www.dubstep.fm/) then stream it via Itunes with Itunes equalizer open. Mess around with some of the settings, crazy audio's...

or just disable ad-blocking on CR all together...

do you know what bitrate they rip too? Thats the thing I like about ripping with a dedicated stream-ripper, I can set the bitrate to whatever (I use 192,000 for file-size reasons but can go up to 256,000.)

I believe that only works on youtube though, more and more im finding Myspace_Music far superior.

Interesting, guess some loophole in the Russian law lets them legally sell music for what normal stations would pay to play it. Wonder how long that will last... Just registered and checked it out, 5 cents per song is hard to beat, although at first glance they don't have some of the old school semi-underground stuff that can be found on myspace/youtube/pandora. Are you a member? Any issues with viruses/payment/stolen credit card info? Coming from somewhat of a hackerish background I would be extremely Leary of opening any media files from the internet (using Windows), especially from a small Russian site. One of the new trends in hacking is to bind seeming harmless .Avi/.Mp3/.Mpg files with encrypted trojans. Scary shit, nearly impossible to detect. When you go to open the file you unknowingly install a trojan, then a second later the file opens and plays as if it's 100% legit. The end user has no idea the file was bugged. An ex-buddy/associate/whathaveu was making alot of money doing this (stopped talking to him shortly after I found out), when asked about anti-viruses detecting something phishy he just laughed...

I never pay for music, literally everything in my 20+gb library has been ripped. For Mac I use Mac Vide Audio Recorder - http://www.macvide.com/Macvide-Audio-Recorder/ For Windows I use Camtasia (im sure there are better programs specifically designed for Audio capture though). I rip @ 192,000kbps, the sound quality (especially on a Mac) is fawking incredible. As a rule of thumb if youtube doesn't have what your looking for Myspace/Music will. As mentioned above take a few minutes and try and find the best quality version of the song you're looking for. Sound quality can vary greatly, or alot of times as of late you're only left with one or two songs to rip from. Another thing I will do is rip Pandora streams for an hour or two at a time, then go back and cut the hour-long stream down into individual MP3's. Only downside is you don't know exactly what you're going to get but shit, the sound quality is always top-notch, especially if you have a premium account. I use Audacity to resample/cut my MP3's after I've ripped them, apparently you can also use audacity to rip audio streams but I haven't looked into it, to be honest the program, while 100% free and powerful, is a little complex to figure out, even for me.

Goodie-Mob, for the triple (or quad)...entire album is a classic

Im sure there's someone else on here that knows Josh, tell him to come back and read this thread. Mental Health is simply something you don't fuck with. I've battled Depression, PTSD, ADHD,and Bi-Polar disorder for years (not to mention all my family's mental health issues, then to top it off my Fathers stage-3 cancer which nearly cost him his life). I pity the fool who gives me shit. I know im rather new here but I firmly believe "we" are a really good group of guys. Drama has a time and a place and IMO is best suited for lulz in the kitchen, not for knocking a fellow man when he's obviously down. That is all.

Ahhh, I see what you did there, at any rate...

Right up there with rapidshare/demonoid, hosted all sorts of pirated software/movies/etc. From what I read up it was more or less a stunt to appease certain entities within the US, still can't figure out why rapidshare didn't take the same hit, although MegaUpload had separate sister sites for watching copyrighted Movies/Porn, I think thats what did them in.

Owner of MegaUpload, biggest file sharing site on le innernets. US Gov seized it awhile back. http://www.megaupload.com/

Adderall is great if you need to get a bunch of shit done after work, but it won't take take that "gloomy" feeling away (at least not permanently). Plus good luck walking into a Doctors office and asking for it, Physicians/Psychiatrists are NUTS about writing schedule 3 medications due to the fact Kasich is a Nazi when it comes to that stuff (for good reason but he's still a little over the top IMO). I know tanning is a Chick-thing but try spending all day laying in the Sun @ the pool, works wonders. Even then I would see someone, i've suffered from Depression throughout my life and the right medications can make all the difference in the world. PM Johnny_Bravo on here I believe he works in the field and could probably set you up with someone reputable.
