I just picked up a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, decked out with everything except the V8. Paid 19K for it. 5K miles later still happy with it. My family here has 4 Jeeps besides mine, my dad has a 2008 Grand Cherokee with the diesel, put 80K miles on it the first 6 months with zero problems.

6 TB RAID 10 SAN, replicated to another SAN 500 miles away. Plus backups every 15 minutes.

oh wait, that was my server at work.

At home I do not have anything on my local drives that could not be reinstalled.

As an adult, have had 3 dogs, 3 cats, currently have 2 of each. And some fish and newts.

Growing up, tons of cats, couple of dogs, and for a while I had a bull as a pet, until it was time for the slaughter for Christmas. Still got the tanned skin from him stored in Norway somewhere....

I know in Norway cars used to be, and still are I think, taxed/tariffed on: engine size engine power weight of the car original price (I don't think they tax in on fuel consumption/emissions, yet). I calculated how much it would cost me to take my 2001 Trans Am WS6 in, and it was not funny price! TH...

Grats on the new car.

Friend of mine's wife just traded in her 2005 Jaguar XKR Converible for a Turbo Cabriolet Beetle

I work as Chief Archiect/Database Admin for a medium sized annuity company.

I think it is ok to ask you, once. If it is a big part of her life you are at least showing good faith in wanting to know more about what is a big part of her life. I managed to go with my first in laws to passover service (they are Jehovas Witnesses). Me going just once creaed an enormous amount of...

Shouldn't be all that hard, it's just like strapping a DC-9 to the back!

Actualy, it might be more like flying a Stearman!

You know there is a reason the Indians started to export those to the US a few years back? none in India wanted to buy one!

If it was primary right now I would vote for Bill Richardson. Although I would be very surprised if Clinton or Obama don't get the democrat nomination. Problem in myview, both from the Democrats and the Republican side is that radicals tend to heavily influence the primary elections. And I do agree ...

Leave my guns alone! Some of us don't want to live in the Utopian Canada or European countries. Some of us actually LIKE taking care of ourself and not have the governement control our lives. Like, not taking handouts, and protecting my loved ones and myself. No one else know better than me how to p...

If I want a manual I will buy a manual... I've driven a few tiptronic style cars and not really liked them. Not had an opportunity to try a Ferrari with one, but has tried one in a Jaguar XKR, not my thing. The one in my wives car works great for locking it in a particular gear etc to pull up a hill...

It was decent.
Books where better!

All i think I will say about Vanguard is the following: At least Shadowbane was fun when it was working.

Dunno, I emigrated when I was 20 and havent looked back

I would donate, but can't. Figured after I got diabetes that I could not, but no, that doesn't (automatically) disqualify you. Living in Europe for more than 24 months in the 80s does.

Started a ranger on Cleric on Povar first weekend it was live after playing it visiting my cousin. Started Ardel on Veeshan in June of 1999. Was in Legion of Tears with some friends (now long gone from the game) eventualy being guild leader of that guild. Moved Ardel during server split. Came back a...

DAMN!

As both an aerobatic pilot (in the past) and RC pilot. Just DAMN!

been there.... had about 60K in CC debt when my first wife died. Pluss a ton more in medical bills. All paid off and clean in 3 years. Now I panic if I owe money except car and house. Even so I do keep a CC mainly for emergencies, like, family dying in Norway while I live in Texas.

Not yet, as I have yet to take delivery of it. Spent a good 3 hours negotiating the deal last night. Since it is a brand new model no deal to be had on the price, but they gave me a laughable offer on my 2004 RX-8. Ended up talking them up 2K for that so I almost broke even on the deal. It's the Pea...

Does seeing it from the inside count? Just test drove and bought a CX-7.

I predict we will see US vs Brazil at some point!

Nothing wrong with starting out with a 1000CC bike. First bike I owned was an 1100 cc cruiser (Virago 1100). Second was a Honda VTR1000F (1000cc Vtwin sports bike). Fun bikes. Granted, I think I might have had a bit more understanding of bikes than the OP before I bought my own bike. My training was...

Been there. My wife killed herself 6 years ago tomorrow. For some people, it truly is the only way out (in their view). btw suicide does not automatically invalidate life insurance. I believe there is a one year clause after it is obtained (might vary by state) that it will not pay for suicide, but ...

packing.org is prolly the best site out there when it comes to what is allowed in each state for the legal CCL holder. Besides that. Laws mean shit. If I decide to walk into my neighboors house and open fire and kill him. Does that means I go to jail for manslaighter? Nope. All laws mean is that is ...

Miir are you a pilot? Or do you work as an engineer for an aircraft manufacturer? Undoubtly good engineering as well, but, that could so easily have gone wrong without the right touch to the landing. Looked to me that he was almost intentionaly scrubbing off the rubber on that tire. Guess last thing...

Besides MSDE, look into SQL Express. New desktop version of MS SQL Server 2005. Some cool new abilities, but also more restrictive in some ways, but not enough to be an issue for a single user system. Both of these can be installed with the install of the application. Be aware that company IT depart...

Only one person in the world has YOU as their #1 priority.

That is my normal guideline for when thinking about job changes etc.

actualy couple of reasons for it. 1) Because they can.... Europeans are more used to the discount prices on charters flying to southern Europe etc. (hey Southwest haven't reached everyone yet!) 2) A lot of tickets in Europe are sold trough brokers/discounters that buy in bulk from the airline (this ...

Any particular reason why you can't email it to him?

Or upload it to MS FTP site (what we told customers to do at MS SQL support with multi meg files, granted, that was a few years ago....)

Nice going. Same boat here, except I got diagnosed with diabetes in September. Lost about 30 pounds since then (60 in the last 2 years), but almost a full 6 inches in waist size. Started working out, both threadmill types and weights, changed how much and what I eat. Stay away from the midday candy ...

Pull your credit report and fix any errors before you contact a lender for a loan. Makes it much faster. And save any and all documentation of fixes you do.... I had 3 things on my credit report that can't be found by the company that kept reporting them (total of 5K in medical bills).... they would...

Go used first! I'd say the Katana 600 is a good one, even the 750 from 5+ years back. Or a Yamaha SECA 2, althugh those are getting old now. Honda made a similar one but I can not remember the name. Personaly I learned to ride on an RD350... not recommended. But I had a good instructor. When I bough...

Grats on new car! Sure beats driving the same old same old 4 door every day

Front plates are required in TX too. Not had one on the 2 Trans Ams I had between 97 and 2003, nor on my RX-8. Looks tooooo ugly. Esp on the 8.

Fyndina

Also prolly need Differential GPS to be able to be accurate enough. Depending on how accurate you need of course. Unfortunatly last I knew the government decided on a very limited DGPS implementation. DGPS is accurate enough to land an aircraft with, regular GPS is only accurate enough (guaranteed a...

Much easier to carry a gun on the bike. Nice and big! Carry laws of Texas for the win!

not like the old lady in the Caddy gonna hear you while sitting at a stop light!!! In the VTX1300 category might want to look at the Yamaha Road Warrior as well. Pretty nice bikes both of them. Although. I would recommend also looking at something more sporty. Someone above said a sport bike is not ...

Test the RX-8 if you are looking at things like the G35 Coupe. The 8 is definatly different, but is a blast to drive. And being 4 door is fairly cheap to insure. I pay about 400 $ less a year than for my 2001 Trans Am WS6 I used to have. Actualy pay about $10 less a month than the GMC small pickup I...
