  1. An alignment problem would have to be severe to cause tire shake. Not impossible, but not likely. The two biggest problems with SUV's and new tires are the knuckleheads that change the tires and the tires themselves. People take their vehicles to shops where, like Subby stated, the knuckleheads take the wheels on and off with an impact wrench. There are PROPER torque specifications for wheels and there is a darn good reason for it. Over torqued wheels will easily warp rotors and stress lugs. This will generally cause problems and tire shake during braking, but can do it at speed
  2. You haven't corrected me yet. Stereotypes can indeed project and lead to racism, but a stereotype itself it not racist. The statement I posted is NOT racist and it bears no level of superiority on the race scale. Correct. No, actually, that would be a fact. LOL! J/K. That would be a stereotype, but would also be prejudice. You are trying to combine definitions. You can't do that. Now you are throwing something else in to the pot. Ethnocentrism is when you believe YOUR race is superior over another. Racism is when you believe that one race i
  3. I don't know where you got that definition of racism, but it is definitely not correct. Sorry, but you don't understand the difference between racism and prejudice. #2 on your definition says exactly what I said. There is a different in prejudice and racism and what you described as racism is not, it's prejudice. Racism is the believe that one race is superior over another. In the early years of our country, we were a racists society. Our society believed that the WHITE race was superior and had complete and total control of the black race. Thankfully, most of our society has re
  4. You are exactly right! People SHOULD understand what "freedom of speech" is... However, Freedom of Speech, as referenced by the United States Constitution has NOTHING to do with what you say about a citizen and worrying about being jailed. The 1st Amendment protects our right to SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT WITHOUT PERSECUTION. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with speaking out against your employer, your sister, or a local merchant. The 1st Amendment was put in to place to protect us from persecution/jail/death from out government when we speak out against policies,
  5. #1. It's apparent that you don't know what "racists" means. Racism is the belief that one race is superior over another. Maybe you are thinking of 'prejudice' ? #2. Stereotypes come from fact. If it wasn't true for the majority of any given section of population, there wouldn't be stereotypes. #3. "If you have ever seen Starr Jones, you can't say any of this is true." Really?? Did you see her when she first got in television? I'm thinking not, because she was a blimp!
  6. #1. It does not need authorization to query the data, as the data is being broadcast openly and without encryption over a publicly, non-payment means of media. It is no different accessing threads on this forum. It is open to the public and threads are available to view (pull data). If it was encrypted and/or password protected and the program hacked it, that would be a different story. #2. The program is not a bot, spider, scraper, nor is it automated. It only pulls info that I request it to pull, when I request it to pull it. As noted, using this software in no way impos
  7. I am betting there is some animosity between someone at Geocaching.com and C:geo and I really don't care. I have read the terms of service and there is nothing in there that you violate by using the c:geo application. I have read countless posts of people complaining about the threads being removed and no explanations given. If it was a banned application, they should specifically post a sticky or administrative thread specifically saying the application is banned and is not allowed. And although not required, they should tell people why they don't allow it... if it's a good reason
  8. Yep, I do Geo-caching.... If you have an Android phone, you can download an app from the market place called "c:geo" and it integrates with with the geocaching website. You can do 'nearby' caches and it will pull up ones in your vicinity and you can use the GPS in your phone to help guide you to it. Good program.
  9. I would support this method as well. As far as what you are proposing being illegal.. that's not jamming, it's physically turning off the transmitter. Phones already have an option to disable a transmitter... it's "airplane mode" on most phones. What you're asking is simply to use a GPS to activate that "airplane mode" essentially. That would not break any FCC regulations and would be perfectly legal.... and I'd back it 100%.
  10. Unless they change the law, it's illegal to jam cell phone signals or any other radio signal. The only thing you could legally do is make the car in to a farady cage so that no radio signal could come in or out of said vehicle. A jamming device could easily affect outside of the vehicle and affect other cell phone users. That is most definitely illegal.
  11. It doesn't matter how you see it. It matters how our founding fathers saw it and why they built the Constitution as it is. The first amendment is in place to keep the government from adopting and forcing any given religion on us (the people). Having church at the capitol is not implementing a state sponsored religion. It's simply having a service. Church services happen all the time at government schools. The churches rent the facilities (usually while they are building their own or are just forming). That doesn't mean the local government is adopting their religion. As long
  12. +1 I would confront them and verbally give them orders to leave the man alone. If they were to come after me, at that point, they are armed with weapons... and so am I. Mine is not a baseball bat nor a sack... As a citizen, you have a DUTY to aid and assist another person in distress.
  13. That is correct. Except, mobile phones and radios are exempt from that law... for some reason. Doesn't make any sense, but they are...
  14. Actually, it IS against the law. There is no law that specifically says "you can't eat cereal while driving." However, 40-6-241 states: "A driver shall exercise due care in operating a motor vehicle on the highways of this state and shall not engage in any actions which shall distract such driver from the safe operation of such vehicle"
  15. Because, just like this girls mother, far too many parents don't have the courage to restrict and punish their kids. Too many parents think everything their kid does is cute and adorable and their child never does wrong. This is the same reason you can't go in to a dang restaurant anymore and have a nice dinner without children running up and down the aisles, screaming at the top of the lungs... the parents just sit there and let them do it. People have no regards or concern for other people anymore and it's because parents won't make their damn children behave.
  16. What is wrong with it being PG? PG mean PARENTAL GUIDANCE. It doesn't mean that they recommend it for all "G"eneral Audiences. PG means parents are urged to use parental guidance, as the motion picture may contain some material parents might not like for their younger children to view.
  17. Well, the information you received is correct. Air conditioners are matched systems, you can't just pull a part and stick a part in. The condenser unit outside and the evaporator unit inside are matched to each other. An air conditioner doesn't work by cooling the air, per say... it works by removing the heat from the air. Your air intakes pull the hot air out of your house and blow it past a coil that has refrigerant in it. The heat is absorbed and pumped outside to the condenser where that large fan blows air across to exchange the heat to the atmosphere. To be able to
  18. "...and there is no attic for insulation."
  19. You'd think it would be a given that they would carry basic service parts for what they sell. Right, they can't sell every serviceable part for every product they sell. However, there are items that are considered high turnover service items that they should keep in stock. My rule, when I buy something, is that I won't buy it unless they have the basic service parts available for it at the location where I buy the product. If they aren't on the shelf, I don't buy the product.
  20. LOL, sorry, but YOU are the one who doesn't know how it works. I work on the computers in the county patrol cars... I assure you, I DO know how it works. Yes, the radio IS their primary means of running tags and communication through dispatch. The computer is a secondary tool to make their life easier. Yes, an internet connection IS required. They are connected to the internet through a wireless aircard. VPN software allows a connection back to the county servers. They have the same internet access in the patrol cars that everyone else in the county has. They are governed as
  21. Here, I fixed it for you... "Most future creditors will look at a Bk and see that at least you did something to weasle out of your debits that you owe (you used our federal laws to shirk your responsibility and screw the person/company you owe money too and the tax payers who will be footing your bill for your irresponsible actions). At least with NavyEagle#1's suggestion, you'll be owning up to your problem and still are willing to try to do something about it. Asking for extra time, smaller payments, and/or smaller interest is asking for help and not just bailing out on your resp
  22. There has never been a distance relation between blinkers being needed or not. There is however a time-frame. Anything manufactured before 1972, turn signals aren't required. DOT "approved" is mis-used terminology as the DOT doesn't and never has done testing to "approve" or "dis-allow" certain devices. There are requirements that have to be met for a certain equipment. Each manufacturer must ensure that that equipment meets the minimum specifications that the DOT sets as minimum standard. While many manufactures used "DOT Approved" stickers to show they meet those specs, they are
  23. There is nothing illegal about riding a dirt bike on a public road, ****IF**** if has running lights, headlights, tail lights, a horn, brake lights, can maintain the minimum speed limit, is registered and displays a valid license plate, and carries appropriate insurance. Without the above mentioned, it does not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Code, nor does it meet Georgia vehicle code (which is closely modeled after the FMVC). As far as the rider, minimum age of 17 for a class M license and 16 for learners permit. Learners permit has some restrictions (not after dark, no interstates
  24. Sears has had robotic mowers for about 10 years now. They are anywhere for $1300 - $2000.

    What I don't get is most all of this stuff is on the test for your drivers license. While it has been some years ago since I took it, I still remember most of the rules and regs regarding driving. Never, have I thought it was ok to cross a solid line on a roadway. That is common road knowledge. What we need is more strict driving exams. I am absolutely blown away at how many people don't know the basic rules of regulations of driving. I often find people who don't know what certain road signs mean. We are too lenient in handing out drivers license... and we don't ever h
