It's a decent car, and wasn't too expensive. They go forever if you take care of them. And, I'm due for a tune up.-Renegade (February 23, 2013, 06:43 AM)
It's really hard to beat that German engineering, nice ride Renny. I couldn't list all the cars/trucks I've owned over the years, just way too many to list. Just in the last 5 years I've owned 6 vehicles. I just sold a 1970 Mustang Mach I that I've had for years and years, it was my sunny Sunday driver. lol-Tinman57 (February 23, 2013, 07:42 PM)
I've read horror stories about "chargebacks" on paypal. It's only dangerous for sellers of big ticket items, which is why I won't accept paypal for large purchases. Apparently, from what I understand (but yet still don't understand) is someone will buy a car through paypal. They take possession of the car and then make a chargeback to paypal for the order, however that works. When it's all over and done with, you don't have the car or the money and paypal isn't liable in any way, which pretty much sucks. I've had people try to buy big ticket items from me using paypal in the past, and I knew for a fact they were trying to scam me this way. I emailed them back "Sorry, cash only"......
It's getting to where it's almost impossible to sell now days. Crooks make fake cashiers checks and money orders. By the time the check/money order bounces back the crook is long gone and untraceable and your out of the item and money. And right when we thought paypal was there to save the day, the crooks figures out a way to screw you through them....-Tinman57 (February 25, 2013, 07:06 PM)
I wonder if these are cases where:
1) User buys a piece of software using Paypal.
2) User receives software key/serial via email.
3) User then claims a fraudulent transaction and demands refund.
4) Paypal refunds user and seller loses that transaction and monies.
5) User now has a legitimate key/serial and is not out any money.
Perhaps?-skwire (February 25, 2013, 12:01 PM)
So the question is: what should I do with the thing?-oblivion (February 25, 2013, 06:35 AM)

@Ren - it used to make me laugh too. Not so much any more.-40hz (February 20, 2013, 08:49 AM)
Dangerous games.
I sincerely hope China doesn't seriously frighten the USA.
For all their intelligence and sophistication, they still fail to grasp how utterly psychotic and violent this country and its leaders can get when seriously frightened. I would have thought the last 12 years alone would have presented enough examples that China wouldn't be so naive as to indulge in ongoing and obvious provocation like they seem to be doing.-40hz (February 20, 2013, 06:27 AM)
Sorry, I'm growing weary of a "+1" which is a Google invention applied to everything.

Compatibility. Market-share. Profit. Those are most likely the three things that drove this, rather than the superiority of the technology.-wraith808 (February 19, 2013, 07:41 PM)
Pirate Bay archival
Some time ago, I did an experiment on how small I can make all pirate bay while keeping the important information. People apparently liked it.
Well, now some months later, I wanted to do two things - first, make it even smaller and correct all the mistakes I did before. Second - I wanted to create another version that will have all the additional information - most importantly, all the comments and text information. For me, pirate bay is not just the torrents, but mainly the additional information - how fake is the file? What can I really expect inside?
So I did both.
