  2. AND keep the wheel as straight as SAFELY possible, its those abrupt turns while power and weight distro are improper that cause rollovers. Not to mention tires being inflated wrong, and such. (Yes, I just went thru ANOTHER driving school, tore the FUCK out of that charger and 300!)

  3. but drinks for a week! I cant buy alcohol, but I hear it gets expensive...... and MREs arent a bad idea next time I go to a boogie... PB&J gets boring... MREs are expensive, compaired to how you can eat cheaper... Not to mention LOADED with calories, and you never get full. I have a couple laying around here, saving them for a rainy day...

  4. You missed it, it was http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=492878;search_string=colwell;#492878 that incident. Which is odd, they had Chris on the tv, talking... its just odd because its the only time that the person has ever lived on the show. Im glad he survived, just weird they would show that on the show.

  8. Dell Studio 17, Best Buy has them for 799 or 899, core2duo t6600, hd screen (i think the one best buy has is integrated intel, but you can get a 512 ATI for extra i think...) 500gb hdd, with the option of adding another sata drive, I had one, but it was too big for me to have as portable as i wanted, so i got the studio 15...

  9. it was your post that made my try my service tag on the dell support site, but you didn't specifically say to do that so i'm not quite ready to label you with that monitor. however, i will annoint you with that if you can fix a few other glitches for me. 1. whenever i'm loading a web page or a program is opening up, the pointer on my screen that moves when i move the mouse locks up or gets choppy. 2. i have another hard drive in the computer, but it doesn't show up when i open "my computer". how do i get this to show up, and can make my computer use this additional space in order for it to run smoother. 3. before reformatting the harddrive, i backed it up on a seagate black armour external hard drive. after i got the os re-installed, i restored my files. now everything appears to be back except for my music. when i open itunes, it looks as if its all there, but when i try to play a song, i get a message that says "the song "name of song" could not be used because the original file could not be found. would you like to locate it?" wtf? is this one of those bullshit itunes things that sees this as me copying the music to another computer and now won't let me use it? 4. during startup, a shitload of processes start. i'm sure i don't need them all to start and they are probably just slowing down my computer. when i turn stuff off and restart my computer, it starts up in diagnostic mode. 5. my external drive is 1 terabyte. can i create a space on it separate from backup section that i can use as another hard drive for storage? I will work with you a bit when I get off work today, but all of what your asking should be easy fixes. The mouse is probably getting choppy cause of low resourses, open taskmanager (start> run> taskmgr.exe) click on performance and you can see your processor and memory usage, youll probably see one high... if thats the case, let me know. 2 Your second hard drive may not be formatted, if there was nothing on there, or you just got it, you can format it by going to your computer management (right click on my computer> manage) go to disk management, you should see the drive on your right side of the screen, if its greyed out (or you get a window that says to initilize the drive) then it isnt formatted, you can right click, choose create partition of some sort, (dont remember exact wording right now) and go defaults all the way thru the screen, it will format it and show up in your my computer. Itunes isnt difficult, you probably just need to delete everything in there, dont delete the files when it asks, just delete it from the itunes, then have itunes search for music... should be something like file> add folder. put the directory of your music folder in there and you should be good! youre probably using msconfig to turn the services and such off, there is an option in there to reboot into safe mode (may be on the first page of msconfig, there are 3 options: normal, selective, diagnositc) choose selective, try that. The drive, you should be able to just make a new folder and put your stuff there... I dont like using software like the seagate or western digital software to back up hard drives, look on the microsoft website for SyncToy... its pretty good at what it does, and can run automatically as often as you want. If you go that route, i would use the second drive in your computer as the backup. When I get off work, ill give you my phone number and you can call me, Ill tell you what I ALWAYS do with my XP comptuers that saves me ALOT of heartache when it comes to reloading them.

  10. IIRC, windows 2000 and maybe xp/vista/7 might have that functionality built in, Im not sure to what limitation though. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message
  11. i fixed it by looking up the driver on dell support using the service tag rather than model number. i will never pay dell support. a while back i re-installed the os on my laptop and needed the product key. they wanted my credit card number so they could charge me $45 to tell me the key. i argued with the guy for a while and finally hung up. i then found the key on a sticker on the bottom of the lapop. fuck them. Dell tech support sucks, dell comptuers are pretty good... especially the laptops, I can download the entire service manual for any system and see exactly which screws have to come out to get where I need to go... which makes a hell of a lot of difference on laptops. Glad you caught on about the service tag, and thats what its for So, am I the computer god here?

  12. If you have the forward thinking to use it before you wipe the computer, yes, that will probably work... Although, any computer that has a legit version of windows should have the COA on it. Dell Ive noticed on my new one, likes to hide that under the battery.

  13. as far as i know, yes, its part of the mount for the camera "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

  15. i went back into dell downloads and put in my service tag instead of model number and it gave me a completely different list of drivers. this worked. thank you.

  16. I have an MXV with the side box, nothing real special, except I did do one modification which I really have never seen... I wanted to eliminate having to remove and re-install the camera and possibly break the mounting screw mount as seems to be an issue... So for a grand total of about $5 and ~20 mins work, I have a camera that should really never have to come out of the box unless I want to use it for something else.

  19. The only function that the quickset actually does is enable the pretty easy access buttons, there is no relation to that software and the wired ethernet controller, the wireless would show as disabled (in some versions) but it wouldnt not allow the software to be installed for the card.

  20. To tether it is a simple process, I used mine for my primary internet last week, downloaded over 6gb of data thru it. Jailbreak, install rock and install the teather profile, viola!

  21. Whats your service tag? Its a 7 digit alpha numeric number on the bottom of the computer. ETA: Sorry, you're on a desktop, you can go into the BIOS utility (F2 I believe on boot at the dell screen) and it will have the service tag in the info screen. And the quickset wont apply there, Ive yet to see it installed on a dell desktop.

  22. I fully intend on being on one of 2 or three army PDTs, the Knights are a definate possibility, if I can get my unit to send me home from Iraq early enough to try out...

  23. What if he was using a thought out tersh rig? Such as a T-10 style harness under his normal rig with a belly mounted main for purposes of cutting away then going to his normal main? It might not re-enforce the EPs but it could easily simulate the feeling of cutting away and going back into freefall... as well as whatever malfunction you want, packed that way or not. Im not saying everyone and their mother should go do this, but, if hes gonna do it, minas well be as safe as he can. Doubling up on harnesses might not be the way to go then. Not everyone has a purty harness modified to allow for a belly mounted main... Although, I could have my new Wonderhog modified to do it... I wonder if RWS will do that?
