Could you explain this combination a bit more or provide a link to a tutorial/article, if that's how you came to it? The idea of giving up passwords to storage in the cloud with a big sign on it that says, "Giant repository of everyone in the world's passwords!" just seems like a remarkably bad idea. I want to…

Any decent response will require a lot more information. Simply put, anything involving work with coil springs under tension/compression is extremely dangerous, though manageable with reasonable knowledge, care, and reliable tools. My son and I have changed springs and shocks in MacPherson strut type suspensions and…

Ironing board stand would probably provide the greater range of height one would want. Probably also very cheaply available from a second hand store or garage sale.

With a dash of cream. That's a winter breakfast that'll warm you up!

The distributor usually contains evenly spaced metal contacts around its perimeter that are contacted by the rotor, which spins on a shaft connected to the cam gear. If the distributor or rotor is worn or damaged, you may see signs of arcing, metal transfer, carbon deposition, etc.

Offering no warranty of any kind, express or implied, I think that you can wait for the mileage interval, if you don't drive the car hard when you drive and aren't in an unusually hot, humid, or dusty environment. Switching to synthetic can also give you more peace of mind. Be sure to change the oil filter at each…

Does the t in tC mean turbo? If so, you should probably go with full synthetic. If no turbo, synthetic is probably overkill, but it does provide somewhat better protection for your engine, especially if it has high operating temps and pressures, like turbocharged ones tend to. The other reply regarding change…

Does it make the noise when you rev the engine while in park or neutral (i.e., while stopped)? If so and if it sounds like exhaust, it may be a seal in the exhaust system. I've repaired/replaced them myself before, but then I've done a lot of "wrenching" over many years, so it may or may not be something within your…

Nice SKS rig! They are good tools, too. That bayonet, if memory serves, can be taken off and the tip used as a screwdriver for some parts of the rifle, as well as other things. Many years ago, I saw an SKS that had been brought back from 'Nam as a "war prize." It had a piece of bamboo replacing the gas…

Check Harbor Freight for tool boxes and cabinets. Got a nice steel cabinet for my son's automotive stuff for @150. That might be overkill for many people, but it's an example. When looking at HF stuff, search online and check the user reviews on their site. Some of their stuff is more like a booby trap than a tool…

I, too, have just about everything here, but acquired most from Harbor Freight (my old Craftsman power tools got eaten by a hurricane; inadequate insurance dictated a reduced replacement budget and more work), including a pretty decent little TIG welder (<$200 with a coupon). While I haven't raced professionally,…

I've just started trying out subsonic with my Droid and it seems to work quite well so long as I've got a strong wifi signal, but not over 3G (liltankdroid doesn't have 4G). Wonder if anyone's got any tips/experience with subsonic. Seems to do the same things this does, at least for audio, for free/donation.

The ability to use off-line and sync might also help a little with their server load.

Sorry to come off so negatively. Very best of luck to you, especiallly in finding the type of work you love doing. That's the key. Oh and make grades—law employers never stop asking.

This is funny—I've actually seen and admired your BMW in person. One of my older son's former college classmates lived on your street, so we were just passing to drop him off for a visit. My younger son is a BMW head, so he appreciated what you have there quite a bit. What a very small world.

Don't worry—there are no law jobs, unless you're law review and/or already connected anyway. Do what you want. A little flair of competent, individuality might actually help in some circles.

The U.S. doesn't really have any food "taboos" as a nation (other than a general aversion to cat, dog, and horse, though even those aren't necessarily deemed completely out of bounds).

So true! I used to think nothing of eating rabbit until having one as a family pet. If you're lucky enough to get a smart, easily socialized one, like ours, teh bunneh is the bestest pet. And ours, too, loves banana, though I would never give him a whole banana—seems like way too much sugar and way too soft to be…

Finally, a comment with some knowledge behind it—maybe. What was the failure rate on the Iranian missiles and what was the level of air support? A "U.S.-led coalition" would achieve air dominance in minutes following an Iranian attack. Past reports of Iranian missile tests and virtually every other significant…
