    File Recovery

    I had a password protected Word document on a flash drive which I opened from the flash drive. I went to close Word and it asked if I wanted to save it and I clicked yes. Then it said it could not save for some reason. Which was fine because I didn't make many changes this time. So I closed...

    Emission System Warranty?

    I know there is a gov't mandated emission warranty period. Anyone know what that is for MY2001? I could call a dealership but I don't trust them, they may say I'm past it and hope I go away. On internet sites some say 50k, 88k, and 100k miles I keep getting code P0420. I think the cat is toast...

    Windows XP: what in the world is it downloading!?

    For 5hrs and it's only 48% done! So says the little yellow shield looking thing on the pop-up text. Double clicking on it does nothing. This is a high speed connection! 10mb usually only takes a few min at most, so it should have d/l 1gb by now!! It's slowed a P4 2.6ghz to a crawl as well.

    Subaru jumped the shark

    http://www.subarunews.net/scoop%20impreza%202006_2007.htm Saw photo in C&D and couldn't believe it was real. Looks like that hideous Tribeca styling will infect their entire lineup. Which by the way I couldn't believe they were actually going to sell the Tribeca when I saw it at autoshow. Move...

    How does a filter remove sludge?

    In reference to Maxlife oil filter. It says it removes more sludge than other filters. Has a nifty bar chart of sludge removal vs. filter type with the Maxlife bar twice as tall as the regular filter. You could have a 100% efficient filter and it is not going to "remove" any sludge unless it is...

    Why...

    close such an important topic? Al said: Why wait until that point. It's already proven it can happen. Hey maybe you're an old dude and don't care, but I don't want to die because my gov't is out of control. But I guess I would if I had to. I'd prefer to stop it before then. And Since when...

    Track your child at school?

    More government gone out of control: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,149814,00.html At least they didn't stand for it and got it removed. Unlike the sissies in this state that allowed the tolls to be doubled if you didn't microchip your car. Instead they flocked to buy the transponders to...

    Falsely accused of debt by collection agency!

    Got a letter in mail from Alegis Group, trying to get me to sign up for a VISA to reduce my debt by $100. Saying balance I owe is 1001.62. And said it is "Seriously past due" If I sign up for visa it transfers $900 and remainder is forgiven. Gee thanks. Of course that is not true but the thing...

    Rabbit control (damaging landscaping)

    What do you recommend? Rabbit repellant spray from Home Depot is not 100% effective and you have to apply quite often to get enough protection. They are eating EVERYTHING. Probably doesn't help that my neighbor's yard is overgrown with weeds...probably has a nest somewhere in there. Rabbit...

    How do ashless AW additives work?

    Molakule has graciously given great descriptions on the operation of the common ash based or metallic AW addtives, such as MoDTC, ZDDP, SbDTC, Boron, overbased calcium, etc. And we now have a pretty clear idea how they work. But, how do the ashless AW additives work? They may have been...

    Forgot to post TBN... it was 1.8 haley10, as most know Terry doesn't want his interpretations made public. Ocasionally he posts here for freebies though. So I won't be sharing specifics.
