  1. Street legal quad

    Well I bought a new toy. Something thats come of age here in Europe as basic transportation. What was once an off road ATV is now being produced in a street version, bigger engines, wider axle width and tread designed for asphalt. They are street legal within the EU countries, even on the autobahns. The newer technology has given rise to multi stage adjustable gas shocks, 6 speed gear boxes and horsepower in the 50+ range, allowing for 75 / 85 mph travel, something unheard of not long ago. The model I have is 450cc and has 49hp at the rear wheel, sits two people real well, and cruses nicely at 65mph. And with the advent of computerized engines, 60+ miles a gallon is something to think about. In contrast to the U.S these have become basic transportation over here, more so with the price of fuel going up so much the last two years. Where as many states in America still refuse to legalize quads for street use. Below a few pics. ( click on image for larger view)

  2. dear electrician how can you measure 35.1 ohms ???

    only 35.1 ohms for just one light bulb? on 220 volts it will score fantastic 220 x 220 / 35.1 = 1380 watts

  5. $14 divxcrawler.com scam

    Sorry but i don't know what part of the site to post this one in but it's a warning that has effect many internet users. http://www.divxcrawler.com/ Don't be scamed as once you pay the $14 you find the members area at http://www.amgserver.com is just a frameset that wraps TorrentSpy.com and mininova.com and both of these are free and the few FTP links that they have don't work and link to private IP addresses. avoid anything from IP address 70.85.12.34 as it looks like a few other scams are running from this box. give it a try for yourselves by googling DivxCrawler where you will find user names and passwords so you can access the server for free.

  6. a little help

    Bought a new lap top thats running Windows 7..... the problem is when typing, the margin line suddenly hops between another already typed word and continues with the word you are currently typing.... pain in the ass. I never had this problem with XP. So, two questions. Is this solely windows 7 or some other issue. I checked with a scan, but didn't find any virus or Trojan. Anybody else experienced this?

  7. Our mind & bodies are machines

    This thread is about showing how our mind & body are machines that when fully understood - eliminates the need for everything we have created in the course of our human history. As well as eliminating all mental / emotional suffering. I'll keep the commentary to a minimum and just let the videos speak for themselves, people can draw their own conclusions. If there is enough interest sometime later this year, perhaps we can talk about how to acquire all of these skills. Or perhaps there won't be time for that and one will just have to wait to see all these powers in person...but that is another story. Feel free to post your own videos of course...though I have watched dozens and dozens (Hundreds?) of videos on this subject and done tons of related research and am in the process of implementation. Some might be familiar with Stan Lee Superhumans (I've seen all those episodes), this thread will go beyond that. Some abilities will be repeated in different posts - either the same person or different -...

  8. Build you own LED lighting

    here is a post I did for another forum recently in response to the question "gas lights or flashlights?" I agree that LEDS are the way to go. I have built several over the last 6 or 7 years, many as gifts. We tested on of the ones I made to see how long the batteries would last and they lasted about 400 hours (3 D cells at 15 milliamps). I have made some high power led flashlights as well using Lumileds 1 watt leds (45 lumens). I typically run them at 1 half to two third of the rated current for maximum led life. I prefer to bould my own since some manufacturers run the leds to the limit and end up with units rated at only 10,000 hours (not bad considering incandescent flashlight bulbs last 15 to 20 hours). If you decide to build your own, check how many hours they are rated at 50,000 to 100,000 hours are available. www.lumileds.com Here is some theory on using LEDS: http://www.otherpower.com/otherpower_lighting_leds.html http://www.dansdata.com/caselight.htm

  9. Cheap long run time flashlights

    Since I have a few prepper friends and family I decided to shop around for some inexpensive long run time flashlights. As you may know from the thread on capacitor flashlights, I don’t need any batteries for flashlights but these are so cheap I decided to buy some for here and there like at work or in my car trunk. Plus they make great gifts. I found several products but the two that really caught my eye were surprisingly made/marketed by battery companies. First there is a two pack I found at a Target store. It is an Energizer product. It does not appear on the Energizer.com web site. Here is a description on it: 2 flashlights per pack with 2 carbon type d cells included. Each flashlight runs on one d cell. The package says 40 hour run time. I made some quick current measurements and it looks like 40 hours with a carbon battery is very likely. 20 hours is a sure thing. I am planning on doing a test on the actual run time. It will run about twice as long with an alkaline battery. They did a...

  13. I pad or I pad 2

    I can remember when I knew so much about computers. Those days are gone..... Picked up an I pad 2 for myself and my daughter. The face time thing is cool. Love the free apps so far. Hell I even set up a Wi-Fi thing in my house. And......I even reset my I pod. Granted I lost all of my music. But once again it works. I had to delete my old I tunes program when my PC died. When I reloaded I Tunes my I pod wouldn't work. On off, On Off.....beeep beep beep. It drove me crazy. After looking on you tube I figured out how to reset it. But it would not load my old songs and poof....they were gone. But it works now. I cloud. Not sure just yet If I like the concept of it. But I was able to get my book marks from my PC onto the I pad. Please don't ask me how I did it. I don't know..... The touch pad thing. WTF I didn't touch that ! Did I ? This is going to take some time for me. I'm almost scared to breath on the damn thing.

  16. InfiniDedaDopter coming soon... A Deda's way of conquering The Center of Virgina Sun

    me asked my father "daddy how much this articulation matches you as infinite and are you happy with what me did for you" 2nd function of 0 gives me back his answer as 0.xxx and the answer is 0.991 9^2 + 9^3 + 1 = 81 + 729 + 1 = 811; so deduct 811 from 991 you get 180 where 1 is dedanoe; 8 is Vasil and 0 is Maria in other words "full house kenta flash" the stupid world wide community of Newton poTonian scientists was so interested about what is there in the center of black hole... thank you god for keeping them busy on the wrong side... as it was said before "dedanoe floats the river in rather reverse course instead for BH point of singularity he hunts the Virgina Sun's Core of Infinity"
