Here's another jack question:

Let's say that I want to drop the front subframe, so that I can get to and repair/replace the almost completely rusted through front frame rail.

What's the recomm ...

OK, why not:

MAC address filtering is an important piece of the puzzle, but remember that a cheap wireless sniffer can pick out the MAC out of the air and the hacker can then use this MAC for access next time.

Is there a way that I can lock down the wireless signal to only my phone, blackberry, laptop and VOIP phone?

Yes! The best solution for this is to lock down the wireless router to ONLY accept conn ...

I'm in Texas.

If you don't mind me asking, which part of Texas? I know there are several members on here around both Houston and Dallas/Ft. Worth.

I was just thinking about you and your car earlier. How's it coming along?

I'm actually gathering up the tools and such that I need to start working on it. I'm finally done remodelling the kitchen ...

Hey, if you're cutting it up, take a look at that driver's side frame rail. As I'm sure you already know, I could use one. ;)

Interesting article about a pretty rare BMW. :)

If you're in the Madison, Wisconsin area, it'll be at a car show there.

This is slightly off topic from your 1600, but I have to ask...

What's the other car in the garage next to it? :)

Anyone ever used one of these:

was told that if you press and hold down the "open" button, this is what it will do: open the doors and then the windows part way.

I've never seen a variable darkness helmet (although that certainly doesn't mean that it doesn't exist), but I can highly recommend the auto-dimming style. I bought mine online for less than $100, an ...

V@V is definitely on my list of things to do, especially since my in-laws live very near there (and also have a vineyard!), so I don't have to worry about lodging. I doubt I'll make it this year, tho ...

So does anyone have any recommenda ...

OK, I'm not really familiar with the USB network adapters or even dsl, but I am a "network wizard". Or at least I play one at work. :)

What's probably happening is the network card connected to th ...

I don't know about the location, but I'd guess that wrapping plastic around the heat-sink fins on it would definitely defeat the purpose of them. They need some air flow to get rid of the heat.

John,

Of course, even if it did happen, I'm sure we wouldn't see it here in the U.S.
