    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.

    So I'm going to college next year, got my room assignment, found out who my roomate was, and then........

    I had a triple turn into a double after a semester. They kept telling us we would get a new roommate but we never did. I wanted to get rid of the bottom bunk on my side and put in a couch but the RA said that was somehow destroying university property and there really wasnt anywhere to put the...

    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...

    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.

    Dual monitor or even widescreen people

    Are there any sites that have dual-monitor wallpaper that have the image split vertically? I have an lcd on a shelf behind my laptop, and it's hard to find decent dual-monitor wallpaper for this setup.

    Ice cubes smell like mildew?

    My freezer at home had the same problem. You can get a filter for the water line going into the ice maker at Home Depot or whatever home-improvement store you prefer.

    Amtrak anyone???

    If you're a student you can get the Student Advantage card, which can save you some cash. It's like $20 for a year membership and has discounts to a lot of places.

    Alice in Chains US Mini-tour

    Damn, presale tickets for SD went fast! I was refreshing the ticketmaster page and by the time it came up and I got all the info in, it said there were no tickets available. Probably sold out in less than a minute. Now there's a bunch of tickets up on ebay for 2-800 dollars. Bastards. I...

    Mad Season the band, or Mad Season the album by Matchbox Twenty? (Named after the band? I'm not sure.) The band - great. Rest in peace Layne. The album - haven't heard it.
