Probably a thread standard, like NPT (which is more common on that sort of fitting).

Bought an 80 Gb PS3 today from EB Games got it home and played a couple PS2 games to test backwards compatibility and it worked great.

Then I decided to place Modern Warfare 2 into the disk tray and 2 disk read errors later it won't read any disk.

It's going back tommorow to see if they can find another 80 Gb one with BC and 4 USB ports or if I have to settle with a 60 Gb one instead for BC and 4 usb ports


RAEG!
Read angle on the lens might be out of whack. If that's the issue, no biggie, just a bitch to fix. Not hard, just very, very time consuming.

Johnf! How you doin', man?


So... I was hanging out last night with Takigu and a couple others. He asked me "Dude, question. Where is *such and such a cut of beef* on a cow?" Can you guess where this is going? I said "What, do I look like a f**k beef farmer to you? *headdesk* that just didn't sound right."

Good for you, alfa son.
I'm in the process of that type of situation.

Hmm, if the weather picks up this weekend I might cruise down to the marina and see if that old abandoned Daimler/Jaguar is still there. If my parents don't let me keep it, I could still clean it up, give it a new coat of paint, and sell it for several thousand. :mrgreen:

When in doubt, go for the ditch. You'll probably total the car, and get some nasty calls from the EPA, but hey, you're alive and you don't have to deal with that damn car anymore!

Oh, and do any of you electric guitar guys have a favorite amp manufacturer? (aside from Mesa Boogie :shock: )

Strip-it-all didn't get back to me today about my stuff :(. Looks like I might have to wait till Monday, unless they're open Saturday :?: .

But, my intake manifolds (shipped separately from rest of engine via UPS) arrived in Maumee, OH at 6:37 PM. :o

Why? Did they make the engine too heavy to ship?
