Re: It's been a year since we talked about Sirius - 10 years ago

Interestingly, I just took the $92 offer this afternoon. I didn't get any good offers until I told them I would cancel. The lady prompted me to say it. She said, "What will you do if you can't get a half price offer?" I told her I would cancel, and whammo! I get a half price deal. Listen closely, because they tell you they will put your card on file, and you have to tell them you don't

What others said about seeing a doctor is good advice. I felt fine after a similar experience, but ended up with some major neck problems. See a doctor. Their insurance company will pay for it, and you should get something for pain and suffering if you are in pain.

Re: Bikes that live in the elements? - 10 years ago

Can he have a vehicle on campus? I'd buy an old van and make it a mobile bike shop/garage. Sell it for scrap when you're done with it and you'll get some of your money back.

Re: I think it's time to replace our attic ladder. - 10 years ago

Quotewurm We probably go up there a few times a month. Reviews I've been reading are really leaning toward aluminum rather than wood, and recommend going for the 300# rated, rather than the 250#. As with a lot of these things, you'll read a half dozen positive reviews, then a really negative one. Very frustrating. We replaced our wooden one with a Werner Aluminum. We got the wider model and cou

Re: do you ever wash the engine? how? pressure washer? - 10 years ago

I don't think your engine should be greasy. If it is, something is malfunctioning. It does, however get dirty just like any part of your car. I agree with the Gunk and a garden hose procedure.

Re: Need to replace some siding on house. , Hardie Board? - 10 years ago

We put Hardie Board siding on over ten years ago. Best product we've ever purchased for our house. We have not had to paint in that time. It's really a great product, and you can get it in many styles that will complement any architectural style.

Re: Building with old lumber? - 10 years ago

Lots of dimensional lumber is stored out in the elements. I wouldn't be afraid of it. The plywood is another mater, but it's probably fine.

QuoteJimmypoo They are working on a RAD G5 now. The Altivec SIMD code makes it both a DSP (a pure math processor, like the Sharc) and a CPU - able to do double duty, hence the popularity of putting the same thing on Intel as SSE4.2/AVX, and Neon on the ARM processors. Really glad I've held on to my G5! NASA will be calling any day now!

Safari Troubles - 10 years ago

I have installed ML and Safari 6.0. I keep getting unresponsive pages in Safari. When I tried to enter the subject for this message, I got one or two letters and then nothing. This happens on any text entry box on web sites. I get an error page from Apple that says that I had a web content error. I have thrown out the prefs (com.apple.Safari.plist), and that didn't fix anything. Any suggestion
