    Computer Help!

    Didn't get around to trying this, ended up buying a new network card. :( $22 bucks for a realtek 100mb/s card from Best Buy. They're good at ripping people off. I should have tried re-flashing BIOS and clearing the master boot record. I keep having bad luck downloading Ubuntu. I got a bad ISO...

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    ^ I agree with both parties being at fault. Any gun owner should know and never, EVER ignore that a gun should not be pointed at anything you don't have any intention of shooting. Hell, I won't even let some people hold my gun even after I've cleared it of any cartridges, removed the magazine...

    Random YouTube Videos - Round 2

    http://www.youtube.com/user/tippexperience Can't wrap this one, but it does have some mildly amusing content. Sorry if it's a repost. Didn't see it in this thread and didn't look at the old thread much at all.

    BHG 4runner Edit: 96 Cherokee

    I think I'm going to get it. I already found a few motors floating around for it for around $400, I'm sure I can find them cheaper if I call a couple junkyards but I've only checked craigslist so far. I'm going to check it out Friday morning, will post pics. I know it has a little front end...

    Computer Help!

    Recently I tried installing Ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop that currently has W7. Somewhere along the lines of reformatting, I lost my ability to get online via Ethernet cable. Since this happened, I've tried running the Asus driver disk and installing all drivers, reformatting with W7, and I...

    BHG 4runner Edit: 96 Cherokee

    Talked to a friend who I found out still has his Jeep. Has a bad motor, but otherwise it's fine. It's a 96 Cherokee, I should be able to pick up a motor for a few hundred bucks. Anyone around here advise against it?

    Turns out he already sold it. My hunt for a 4runner continues. :(

    BHG 4runner Edit: 96 Cherokee

    I looked into the recall a year or two ago and I'm pretty sure it applied to all 3VZ-Es (Or maybe it was the next generation, 5VZ-FE), but looking around now I haven't seen any recalls aside from exterior lights and steering linkages. I think that recalls expire after a decade, though I have...

    BHG 4runner Edit: 96 Cherokee

    I found and emailed someone earlier today about a 1994 4runner with a blown head gasket. He posted it on craigslist for $700. I haven't heard back yet, but I'm wondering if there's anything in particular I should look for in this thing, or if I should avoid it entirely. Here's the link...

    Life without the internet

    I feel like part of life becoming fast paced could just be that we're growing up and more is in fact expected of us, but I'm still a young'n so I could be completely wrong. :P As for the latter part of your post, that's just pathetic. :3d_frown: Seems like an interesting - and reasonably...

    Serbian gen III Supra, oldschool ride...

    Naw, you just know why there are (were?) married now. ;) Beautiful car, one of the cleanest I've ever seen aside from the motor. :P Is that a dent on the real bumper or just an illusion?

    Any People w/ an IPod Touch?

    I have a first gen touch with a bad screen, jailbroke it a few times with a few different OS options and had some fun but it wore off quickly. Though putting a pokemon rom on it helped me get through my internship this summer. :P Now I've moved on to my droid, use my touch solely for music in...

    Hopefully my first car..

    This. Don't just rip apart the engine because you've gotten the car, or because you want it running it's very best instead of just really really good for a 20 year old car. You're just asking for trouble then. I'm not trying to downplay your intelligence but there's hundreds of things that could...

    "Sorry Dad, I wrecked your sports car"

    8 of 12 What a dick. Just another testament to how well built Toyotas are though. Hits two trees and the kids walk out unharmed.

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    I've rented a Gen 3 Glock 23 with RTF and I loved it. I like the Gen 4 grip even more, so I'm pretty confident I'd love it. I'd shoot an FN if I could, but there's only one shooting range in the area and it only rents Glocks, Rugers and FDs. I've also yet to see anyone go to the range with an...

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    Anyone know anything about FNH's FNX-40? I'm torn between that and a Glock 23 for my next gun. It will most likely be my carry gun, so I'm thinking the Glock is more practical, but I'm still curious about the FNX.

    That's when you row by them with a canoe ore and quickly flick the guy off. ;)

    best thing youve overheard about your supra

    "Damn man, that car sounds like a fuckin porsche" *Waives from Probe guys* A friend of mine set me up on a race with some Mustang and had the kid convinced I drove a probe. It wasn't until my rear tire slipped a little bit til the guy was like, "Wait a second, Probe's aren't RWD!"
