    Calling Car Experts

    HC I did some more research last night on Mitsubishi forums and such. It seems that the valve seals break down and harden and the valve cover gets dirty and clogs up the PCV system. Doesn't sound like stuff I particularly want to replace myself. So Arizona registration? How about it?

    Calling Car Experts

    So my car didn't pass smog when I went to get it registered. I took it to a mechanic 2 days ago and they did a whole inspection on the engine and emissions controls. The guy I talked to today said that there was oil being burned in the engine somewhere which was messing with the catalytic...

    Top 3 hard rock albums since 2000

    Definitely. Audioslave is good, too. With Teeth just doesnt stack up to The Fragile or The Downward Spiral, but I can't think of anything better sice 2000.

    Batch text file editing

    That's exactly the problem I was having. I ended up using UltraEdit to change all question marks followed by a newline to #$%, then changing all other ?'s to apostrophes, then changing the #$%'s back to ?'s. So that's one problem down. Do any of these tools have a way to just capitalize the...

    Batch text file editing

    So I have a bunch of text files (song lyrics downloaded by a winamp plugin) and a majority of them are formatted in a way I don't like. The two biggest issues are capitalization and a problem with apostrophes showing up as question marks. For example I want it?s the same every day and the...

    Anybody get the new AFI cd

    It's a lot better than some of their previous stuff. I'm glad the singer stopped screaming so much. He's got a distinctive voice and it seems like he's finally putting it to good use. It also seems like they've upped the production values, which can be good and bad, depending on whether...

    That OC episode tonight

    I was thinking the same thing. Edit: And also that that version of Hallelujah was pretty bad.

    LinkSys WRT54GC OfficeDepot $19.99 ('new low price')

    I'm doing that now. Range is a little weak. Maybe a firmware update will help this? Spending another $30-40 on an antenna makes the deal a bit less hot.
