That sounds like a rough ride indeed! I was talking to a very experienced lawyer, not so long ago and he made what I considered to be a surprising statement: "Justice is not considered to be a particularly important part in the legal system." In other words, while we are all led to believe...

Hopefully Mark will jump in to correct the technical details that I get wrong here: Diesel can get a bug (bacterial I think) It happens when there is water in the tank and the bacteria breed at the layer, where the water and diesel meet. Once in the system the bug will transfere to other tanks that ...

I hope this means that you can finally start to exact some justice for yourself.

Ha ha, funny guy, consider this: While researching how to get rid of this bug, I saw a few articles about "skin" viruses for the Mac OS, so you aren't totally immune. The difference I see is that when your Mac dies, you pretty much have to take it into the shop to make it work again, whil...

I think it's time for a big thank you to all Windows users. Having such a big population makes for a big target for hackers and virus writers, which mostly leaves those of us MacOS and Linux users off their radar.

So again, Thank you all users of Microsofts operating systems.

I realize that most members of this forum are mostly into buses and trucks, but if much more is to be described of this combination bus/boat, I am going to have to give the proper nautical terms. The front of a boat is the BOW. In technical jargon, it is known as the pointy end. The steering station...

In my opinion, the best part of broccoli to use in slow cooked soups, stews, casseroles, etc.. is the stalk, cut into cubes. To me, it gives a nicer flavour than the head.

Rudy,
I also have an aural exiter on my SWR Workingmans 160 amp and have used the BBE sonic maximizer in a studio. They are amazing units, in what they do for the sound on a bass. I had no idea of how they worked.

Okay, both Tmax and Sharkey have got it covered. Basically CD's tend to sound sterile because the have an absolute frequency cut off, which although outside normal human hearing range, is perceivable. I have heard of CD players being built with tubes instead of transistors to compensate, as tubes pr...

That sounds more logical. My understanding of the external combustion engines is that they are not that well suited to variable revs, but are good for constant revs. I had heard that they could be worth considering for developing in marine applications, due to the fact that boats tend to work on set...

Doug, I've just upgraded my Macbook, by getting a bigger hard drive and more ram added. It was much cheaper than buying a new computer and more powerful as well. I went from 120GB hard drive, to 500GB and from 1GB ram, to 4 GB. The new version only has a 160GB hard drive and 2GB ram. I also bought a...

Was the engine called Sterling, or was it actually an external combustion Sterling engine?

Some of them I know, some of them I google.
Actually, I have been surprised by how many of them that I did just know. All of those years in bands must have taught me something.
