That one's easy - just drag the mouse off the right side of the box and ball will stay still. Then quickly drag the pointer back in and click on the ball before it falls! :laugh: It's hard to do it the right way partly because they programmed in too large of a gravity component so it doesn't...

Part of the problem with doing a hybrid is customer acceptance. How many people who are willing to buy a hybrid are willing to buy that hybrid if it has a diesel in it? It is a gamble enough to put a hybrid on the market; imagine trying to do that with a diesel which the public (at least here in...

Well, everyone pat Damian on the back because he looks at the world as a whole, not a sliver. Yeah, nobody else here does that - certainly not me, I am an engineer after all.:laugh: Engineers take a systems approach to problem solving which is looking at the whole, not just a sliver. That is...

I don't understand this mentality (if I'm reading that passage correctly.) So, either you go all out and be as inefficient as you possibly can as a human being, or you go all out and be as absolutely efficient as possible? Why the extremes? What's wrong with having fun with a gas guzzler but...

As an engineer, the allure of a hybrid is simple: more efficient use of energy. People need to understand that there is X amount of energy locked up inside a gallon of fuel. Just throwing this fuel into a cylinder and making a car go throws away a lot of that available energy. As you all know...

Bill - that Ron Schiller "sting" was brought to light already by no friend of the liberals - Glenn Beck of all people. That's how straight that whole episode was. Besides, from what I've read his only job was to go find funding, not report news. Also - how can you be so apathetic towards NPR...

There really isn't a problem with the definition, there seems to be a problem with people's perception of what public funding is. If you look at our government's websites and other financially related sites that offer some form of authority on the matter, such as provided by a university site...

Veek - step down off your high horse. All because some of our taxes are filtered through the government into NPR does NOT put the government in the radio business. The White House doesn't run the radio stations or write the radio shows. I am fully aware that the most of their funding does NOT...

I never really learned how to throw light. I still can't figure out how to grab it and pick it up.

Well, first of all the government IS NOT in the business of radio. Second, it IS funded by public means because the funding comes from our tax money. Third, I can see why NPR should not procure funds the private, capitalist way. First off, they won't be a National PUBLIC Radio anymore, and...

I am also appalled at the curriculum cuts schools are making, as are most people, I think. My wife is seriously thinking about home schooling. Luckily for us, this financially won't be as big a deal as it would for others since we are not the type of people who are constantly watching the...

That's so true Ian. I'm sure we have all had teachers that were so atrocious it's a freakin mystery how they ever even got the job to begin with let alone hold onto it. Then you get a teacher the very next year that completely turns you around and you end up in a career based on a subject that...

That was awesome.

Add this to the long line of republishinanagins: Does Raw Video of NPR Expose Reveal Questionable Editing & Tactics? | The Blaze AND THAT'S GLENN BECK OF ALL PEOPLE POSTING THIS! Uncovering the truth about that video. :laugh:

If I may join in briefly. Jim, you and I are usually on the same side of things, but I can't side with the Dems in this case. The tactic they used should never be used unless it really truly is a major event that is about to unfold that affects a large portion of the country. I think they should...

Hey - Clubman seats! I have a pair in my '73 2002. Really nice seats...

Howard alluded to what is part of my answer. I learned on Tig, right around the time I was teaching myself gas welding. Can't remember which was first, but they are fundamentally identical - heat and create weld puddle with one hand, dip in filler rod with the other. This is why I may be the...

Ha! And to think back in school (This is 20 years ago now...), driving on the computer required you to use the arrow keys!!! :stunned:

Nice - thank you! Is that email yours or your mechanics?
