Does it take The Three Stooges to start all those motors at the same time? JJK

Mass transit and high speed trains would help but most of it is on the government umbilical cord and in decay/coast mode. JJK

I think I feel an oil song coming on. You can oil my brain, lube my shoes, grease my ears, and take all my cash but don't you, step on my K-horn blues. Sorry, but it rhymes nice. JJK

That Smart car ain't too bad lookin. JJK

Adopt the attitude of a distressed tow motor operator who drives fast and has no compassion for your speakers, then pack accordingly. JJK

Consumer Reports does evaluations on these products from time to time and so far none of them do what they claim. Low pressure fuel injection computer controlled was the last major breakthrough. And 5 weight oil. Also going to a dry sump will give you more horsepower by keeping oil off the crank. Vehicle weight is another biggy. Eliminating one of the piston rings also helped. Turbo's help if you reduce the size of the engine. I sent a letter to Chrysler a long time ago suggesting they go to a 500-750cc V8 for the puddle jumper cars but they did not listen to me. This would have given them a ball-busting really kool I love my vehicle that gets 50 mpg. (with dual mufflers) They did listen to me about the Viper however, except no hemi in it. I was always tempted to try gas in a diesel. JJK

I kind of like "Donna and the Elephant" and the "Ducs" JJK

The "burning salt water" thing hasn't been "numbered" yet by the super smart people---how much energy required to burn salt water. JJK

Remember also that gas is $8.00 per gallon in Iceland. JJK

My grandfather had all of those gas saving thingy's on his 1956 hemi Desoto and his car was so efficient he finnally got rid of them as he got tired of going to the gas station so frequently to empty his tank. JJK

I was meanen the "real old days" . Currently there is one master switch for the receivers which I also turn on one by one, the the sub and equalizer and expander come on with the master switch. The players on the other side of the room come on with another master switch with the TV. Since Starfleet Command will not let me position the TV in the correct location I have to listen to left/right channels reversed when watching DVD's or video. This is difficult and causes me to drink more beer. But I never drink during actual listening. JJK

I remember the "old days". First, find a magazine reviewing speakers. Second, get the address and send a letter to get prices and brochures. Third, evaluate the available products. Fourth, get the money. Fifth, send in the order with check. Sixth, wait three more months for speakers to arrive. Total time involved for me was 3 years. (1962-1965) JJK

Geezz. I guess I will have to take a course in "How to play your new HI-FI". What ever happened to the old days when you just had to push the button? JJK

You have to record the 192 on your hardrive with an acceptable application (if you are playing from your records/tapes) and play it from there as the CD burning spec is a constant low tech. DVD is something else. Bluray and HD-DVD are also more something else and should be menu accessable. JJK

It's a 2-3-3-2 problem. JJK

Why? JJK

If you want an earthquake warning get a dog. If you want a tornado warning listen for the air raid siren or watch the super magnificent 70000 doppler radar weather interupts on your local tv programs. They will show the "loops" and the crosssection of the impending storm. They will also bore you to death with their in depth warnings as the tornado crunches your house when you should be hiding in a shelter. Funny that I have never seen a reporter trying to stand in the wind of an approaching tornado. JJK

Oh geeeeze, you voided the 50 year warranty. JJK

What bothers me about the curved screen is this. Is the lens designed to focus on a curved screen or flat screen? The focus would bother me a lot, in fact more than a lot. We did use an anamorphic projection lens on our 16mm movies (2.66 x 1) with a curved screen with the curve created by setting the projector in its normal position and drawing an arc with a long string between the anamorphic lens and the wall scribing the arc on a long piece of wood at a distance of approximately 25 ft. The resultant curve on the 10 ft screen was not very much but it worked fine. It also worked fine on a flat screen. I guess you could call this an automatic anticipitory focus changing projection lens. Maybe someone can explain how the physical laws and constants that exist in our Milky Way Galaxy relate to this. JJK

Changing it back is relatively easy. The object is to get as much debris into the air as possible (Keep sunlight out) This would entail setting off a multitude of volcanoes (with nukes) being carefull as to the number as we would slide into an ice age. One must be carefull not to set off a "super volcano" which ice cores and sea cores have shown that a 2000 year ice age followed there with. Small problem with this method would be eliminatimg the human race. What the hell, it is a solution. JJK

The wow and flutter on those 8 tracks might not be easy listening after being indoctrinated on CD's and DVD's. JJK

PICS JJK

Heard this rumor they (who?) already moved Area 51 to another hideout. Maybe Florida? JJK

Watch the quality carefully of the roller plastic which dissolves over time on some 8 tracks or it will gum up your player so bad you will have to remove the case and clean the melted plastic off the capstan. The pressure pads also do the same thing. This is only on some brands, not all. Look at the pads to see if they are squashed and if they are they will not hold the tape against the heads. Some of the cartridges can be taken apart if you have a strong constitution but beware of the "Unwinding Gods". If "Rubics Cubes" scare you then don't take them apart. JJK
