    Soccer fans at Mexico vs US.. chanting "Osama. Osama" after Mexico beats US 4-0

    I can't find any proof that shows where a Mexican soccer stadium full of people chanted OBL's name not long after the 9/11 false flag occurred. There is only one video of the alleged incident, it allegedly occurred in Mexico City. That vid is weak evidence, looks like the vid could have been...

    Best Deadbolt Lock?

    Just received two new Medeco Maxum deadbolts that were made in 2014. Almost all the videos that show how to bump a Maxum were uploaded around 2009/2010 give or take. I figured the 2014's were bump proof cause Medeco probrably saw the videos and updated the technology. I just called Medeco...

    It's a fact: Some people hate motorcycles and the people who ride them

    Is that why you don't have a forum category for motorcycles?

    Joint problems - Glucosamine?

    Aquedan is a good drug. People who are in a place where they need a partial or total knee replacement take Aquedan - and then wind up not needing the knee replaced. It's as if they discovered the Fountain of Youth. Yep, Aquedan qualifies as a miracle drug. Vets inject it into lame...

    Joint problems - Glucosamine?

    Consumer Reports once said that if it doesn't work in the first 6 months then it will only help drain your wallet in the long run. I tried it and it did nothing for me. I made sure that I used a brand that received good marks by lab techs who scrutinized various brands for quality and...

    Question about 454 and 427 heads (Chevy heads: casting them and bolting them, etc.)

    I asked and he said "1984, they're generation-4...454 Chevy with oval port heads." I don't know if that makes sense or not. He's a wrench guy I'm not, all that stuff is foreign to me.

    Question about 454 and 427 heads (Chevy heads: casting them and bolting them, etc.)

    I have a friend who needs a little advice. His computer skills are limited, and so he asked me to help him out by creating this post. He has two questions. 1) What are the differences in casting (or anything) on a 427 Chevy big block head? 2) And can he bolt a 427 Chevy head on to a big...

    Recording public conversations and using that as evidence (California penal codes)

    With all due respect I am glad to be able to say that you are 100% wrong if your statement is an across the board generalization. And thank god for that because some freedom fighters need a little luck. It is nowhere close to being a felony meaning you will never do jail time. And to answer...

    Student new to CSS having problems getting CSS to show up in web browser

    Yesterday I thought Snapster was fooling around and trying to act like a comedian or a jerk (due to the answer Snapster gave me) or maybe he/she was under the influence of a drink or drug, which is a plausible scenario anywhere you go. So this morning I woke up at 3am, read the rest of this...

    What difference is there between the two, I don't see any structural difference. Please explain your example.

    Student new to CSS having problems getting CSS to show up in web browser

    Sorry, but not having a doctype is not the problem. The problem is related to something else. It's not the problem because 1) On page 30 of "Head First HTML", where this lesson is given, they don't show a doctype 2) They, the authors, don't discuss doctype yet 3) The HTML portion is...

    Student new to CSS having problems getting CSS to show up in web browser

    I'm on my very first lesson with CSS. I'm using the book titled "Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML." I completed the first HTML lessons successfully. I type the HTML onto Notepad and it comes out fine. The problem is when I modify the same document with CSS (in order to get margins...

    Hardware expert: What is the name of this particular data backup friendly system???

    I like backing up data. And I like touching up and improving on any current backup strategy that I have in place for my home system. My perfect video editing PC would be a home system that is strategically built with backing up data in mind. So what would be the name of a home computer system...

    How to get rid of a Flash super tracking cookie that is impossible to delete?

    Update: The unremovable, undeletable Flash super tracking cookie was finally deleted from my hard drive. I did not keep track of how many times I tried to delete it but if i guessed I'd say I tried to delete it approximately 10 times. All 10 attempts were failures. On or around the 11th...

    How to get rid of a Flash super tracking cookie that is impossible to delete?

    I've been deleting Flash cookies on a daily basis for many months now. I manually delete them because I discovered that CCleaner and CleanUp! will not delete each and every Flash cookie. I have found that manually deleting them is the most efficient way to get them off my hard drive. I've...

    Question about Windows 7 from an old, long time XP user (talking My Pictures folder)

    I'm an XP user looking for a good software program for giving slide shows of images. I would like to know if Windows 7 will allow you to run a slide show in random/shuffle mode when you're running a slide show in My Pictures. You can't run a slide show in shuffle mode with XP, there are no...

    Sony's PS3 Photo Gallery for showing your very best images: Is it any good for that?

    I used PS3's Photo Gallery last night for the first time. I ran it for several hours. In my book that means I'm still too new to render a verdict. But at this point all I can say is that I fully understand the people who leave comments at Amazon that say that they don't use PS3 for games. Heck...

    Sony's PS3 Photo Gallery for showing your very best images: Is it any good for that?

    I've already tried using two different Windows based slide show programs and both are sorely lacking. Typically I'll set up a slide show using my 5 year old PC. I then run the image files over to a large screen HDTV for optimum viewing - bigger is always better when it comes to viewing images...

    Mobile bike mechanics - should you tip them????

    I don't like the idea of tipping someone in order to insure quality service. That borders on extortion. Call it a silent form of virtual extortion. I dunno, would a customer be compelled to tip a mobile auto mechanic? And what about a bicycle mechanic who works in a shop. I don't think anyone...

    Should I use a protein powder?

    There is no such thing as "cheap" or inexpensive protein source. All protein is high in price. And that is coming from someone who made a complete body transformation: I bulked up from 165lbs to 210lbs. During the ascension I would have my bodyfat level tested annually by using the...

    Mobile bike mechanics - should you tip them????

    They work out of their pickup truck or Fed-Ex type van. They come to where you live or work. They do tuneups, replace crankshafts, cassettes, cables, etc, etc. Should you tip a mobile bicycle mechanic when the job is done?

    Should I use a protein powder?

    If you need to increase your protein level I wouldn't necessarily opt for protein powder. Of course it all hinges on how much more you need but if it's not a lot I'd opt to eat cottage cheese. Aside from egg whites c.cheese is one of the best proteins available. Plus you pay more for protein...

    There are many negative ramifications that could develop: 1) Times are tough.

    Recording public conversations and using that as evidence (California penal codes)

    Slightly complex first ammendment question: Can a voice recording made with a digital voice recorder/micro-cassette tape be accepted as evidence in a California court? Or is it against the law to record a conversaton? Scenario(s): these recordings were not made on the telephone. I need to be...

    Question for old-school hardcore NBA fan

    Wow great find on your part. The article says nothing about the waiter being a midget/small person but that might be due to poliitcal correctness. I seem to recall Jim Rome calling the waiter a midget but I'm only half sure. Thank you for posting that :)

    Question for old-school hardcore NBA fan

    I was told that Charles Barkley once threw a very small person (a.k.a. midget) through a store front window (at a bar, restaurant, etc) yet when I last checked I didn't see anything on the Internet about the alleged incident. Anyone know if it really ever happened?

    Gmail thinks my actual age is that of a 4 month old infant, can't register with Gmail

    Why do some AMATEUR videos have outstanding clarity while others look really bad?

    Forget about the bad examples I posted in the thread starter. YouTube has thousands of bad videos not just the ones I posted to the thread starter. I see you singled out 'hand held' camcorders as the culprit. You mean to tell me that a person can't or should not expect to record and post a razor...

    Why do some AMATEUR videos have outstanding clarity while others look really bad?

    For the sake of this discussion we can rule out a cameras quality or 'how good it is' and also rule out 'bad cameras'. For the record, I'm talking about a brand new out-of-the-box video camera that's not a lemon and is firing on all cylinders. For the sake of this discussion we can rule out cell...

    Why do some AMATEUR videos have outstanding clarity while others look really bad?

    Before I posted this I was wondering if asking this question is like asking 'Why is that computer slow?' in that there are MANY variables for the analyst to ponder. Or is this question simplistic in that there's a pretty good single answer to it as if asking how do you shoot a gun? ( Simple...

    Leak in a head gasket requires a COMPLETE engine rebuild is that so or poppycock?

    It was a while back I can't remember if a compression check was performed but there was never any smoke coming from the pipe and plus I never changed the oil I always took it to a shop for that and none of the mechanics ever said anything about coolant in the oil. In checking the dipstick I...

    Leak in a head gasket requires a COMPLETE engine rebuild is that so or poppycock?

    No, the mechanic didn't use the word 'area' i did. Anyway, most mechanical-savvy people who've seen the car notice a bit of oil in that area, as did this mechanic, in which case almost all of them say something like 'Hey looks to me like you've got a bad head gasket there' evidently it's kind of...

    Leak in a head gasket requires a COMPLETE engine rebuild is that so or poppycock?

    I have an '87 Mustang that a mechanic told me has a small leak in the head gasket area. He told me that on a scale of 1 to 10 it was a 1 (a minor issue) and that I could continue to drive it without incurring any damage. He basically said 'At this point I wouldn't worry about it. It's a small...
