    DNS issue or ISP issue?

    Ok, I used to do desktop/network support back in the .com days but I'm way out of practice and out of touch these days. I've had an on-going issue that has been bugging me for a while that I finally want to figure out. Basic problem is if I got a site such as supramania.com, a site that I...

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    I'm still looking to add a shotgun to my collection and to be my primary home defense weapon and could use some opinions. I really like the Remington desert recon. I had some people tell me it's not that great though and that it's not based on the 870, that it is something else thrown together...

    I carry a cell phone so I don't need any of the other junk. Now in my jeep I carry stuff for when I'm out in the desert and can't use the phone.

    Gran Turismo 5, anyone?

    For people having issues with B spec there was a big debate on another forum. It boiled down to not putting a low level ranked driver in a super car. You can't expect a low skill driver to handle a 1000hp car in any condition. Has anyone seen this controller? Looks interesting but not sure if I...

    Gran Turismo 5, anyone?

    I love all the cheerleading around this and forza. I own a PS3 so I bought GT5, I am not a die hard GT fan and haven't played GT since the first game which I thought was awesome back then. I had forza 1 on the xbox and loved that when I was playing it. GT certainly has it's flaws but I still...

    Lexus sc300 mirror ECU problem?

    The sc300 has been great so far just a few minor kinks to work out and one of them is the power mirrors don't work at all on either side. I've had the door panels off to fix broken door latches and checked the switches and everything looked fine. I searched on other forums and everyone points...

    Rear bump stop options?

    I bought all new bump stops from the dealer and I know they were not 40 bucks each, I don't think 20 each even.

    call of duty black ops pc

    I guess I'm old, back when I was bootlegging computer games they all had low quality textures and sounds and other junk removed to keep the file sizes down. Kids these days and perfect copies pfft.

    Looking for a good first time driver / DD car.

    In case any one missed my other thread. We bought a 95 sc300, which is pretty awesome I must admit. The first time I sat in it and the seat and steering wheel all began to adjust made me smile. It is really quick too but perfectly suitable for DD needs and the ole' lady loves it so it's a winner.

    Car shopping on craigslist(someone confirm my suspicion)

    I haven't looked back much but the problem after he failed to contact me and deleted that ads were the Same cars were showing back up for sale. He would delete the ads and pictures removing any trace and the put then same car back up for sale. I doubt he has 5 sc400s all identical looking that...

    Cell phone in 1928?

    That's what I got out of if it. I always see announcers put their hand to their ear when announcing and she could have been on her way to a rehearsal or something for old tyme radio.

    Car shopping on craigslist(someone confirm my suspicion)

    Well, never herd back from him and now the ad has been deleted. I'm wondering what the scam was though. Maybe he gets a bunch of calls then picks the easiest mark to try and scam that 1 person?

    Car shopping on craigslist(someone confirm my suspicion)

    In the past when I bought used cars(ebay) I always asked the seller to meet me at the DMV and transfer the title right there. I never trusted just being handed a title I'm always worried I would go to the DMV and suddenly there's a problem with it. Like I said he was fine with me setting up a...

    Car shopping on craigslist(someone confirm my suspicion)

    That could make sense, when I talked to him he said he just got off work I wish I had asked oh where do you work or something. I keep thinking back to the phone call and trying to dissect it. I asked some basic questions about the car and everything was perfect. I asked if it ever had any type...

    Car shopping on craigslist(someone confirm my suspicion)

    No, his name is mario supposedly. He was supposed to txt me back with a VIN but haven't gotten anything. I am just going to step away from the whole thing and not bother contacting him back. It just smells to odd to me.

    Well, I live in Arizona. I pack to go grocery shopping as I have the right to open and as of recently conceal carry. I wasn't pointing out I am afraid and need a gun, just that I will be open carrying when I go meet him, legally.

    Car shopping on craigslist(someone confirm my suspicion)

    I've been looking for a car for the ole lady and she saw a lexus SC400 for a pretty good deal. I call the guy and it's not some out of the country wire transfer deal and sounded legit. I'm still very hesitant to even go look at it however. I googled his phone number and he's had 3 pages...

    Looking for a good first time driver / DD car.

    I was actually looking at the pontiacs, they seem common with older people who want a freeway cruiser and end up selling them off pretty cheap. The nissan maxima I haven't look at but I'm going to start checking those as well. I love my 97 cherokee and we are looking at those as well but she is...
