We know the government controls the media.Bush being President is enough to prove that. On JonBenet Ramsey she is just this perverts ticket back to America.Out of a worse prison & where he won't get any sentence for JonBenet Ramsey's murder because he didn't do it. Where did he get the information.Well let's assume he has family & money here.Let me have a &100000 or so .I'll get the "right" privite investigator who'll put the money where it needs to go & I'll have the unreleased information for any crime I want.Then all they had to do was get him the information. I too am sorry your 7 year old was scared.I'm not sure which commercial got to her.The Ethiopian one I guess.I know the type flies blowing a malnourished child.

That reminds me of a story.Since I'm sure you've heard at least one about the water into gas 'Pill". This is a variation on that.when I was a kid a freind of mine dad said he actually pulled this.He was a real jokester so I beleive he did. He had an auxilery tank on his car & disconected the main one.He pulled up to a full service station & when they came out he said he just needed water .He proceeded to fill his tank with water & then took about 5 aspirin out of a bottle (not an aspirin bottle) & put them in the tank filler.Then he did a bounce of the car on the bumper to look like he was mixing the water & pills .Then he just drove off.I think he did this at several stations.

tommie; Onseparation I didn't mean to suprise you with what the rest of the world would say.I guess I just get tired of hearing how bad America is & didn't want another source.In reality I'm for almost total seperation as far as I'm concerned the only allies I've seen & feel any need for return are Britain & Australia. On low-value biomass such as municipal waste this would not include human sewage.I need to check but sewage would produce methanol .The biomass would be like you said lawn clippings & any natural vegtable matter we don't use but throw away.I think you mentioned potato peels.Really anything that would ferment & then could be distilled into alcohol or ethanol.So I'm actually in favor of it. on the increase in food cost if they use too much corn then my conebred & Post Toasties will cost more. I'm with Voltageman on the burning of methanol partially eliminating a greenhouse gas. Geo-thermal where it is available is good.To someextent this is everywhere with a heat pump.But not like in places where they have running hot water from the ground. Take me I can use an evaporative cooler most of the summer.A lot more efficient than any refrigeration unit. also tommie on the electric company buy back on electricity you produce extra.They pay almost nothing for this.Like what there cost to produce the same amount minus a transmission charge for getting yours back to them.So really just propaganda. I'm going to see if I can find some info on ocean methane to post. Anyone know what would happen if we could run some heavyduty cables to the Van Allen belt? Maybe a good use for the "International"space station paid for courtesy of the American tax payers.

Daiquirii ;Heres a couple of how to links.DSL is done a couple of ways.I guess I had looked at thee DSL filter with the NID & DSL having it's own DSL line into the house but It can be done with filters on everything & a regular phone jack. http://www.hometech.com/learn/dsl.html http://www.homephonewiring.com/dsl.html

I got the suggestion for this topic from a member.I liked the idea.It's just to say a friendly greeting to another member maybe you haven't posted with on a topic with for a while or any reason.A friendly exchange option to PM. btw ; if it works well I will give credit to the member otherwise I will take the bullet. So to get this started. Howdy Stank_Ho how are things in the Blue Grass state?That is right isn't it?

scumbucketsex ;The MTU & MSS are wrong.I'm not sure which you need but either MTU 1492 for DSL or 1500 for other broadband. & minus 40 these for the MSS. I don't know where the Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) = 514648 came from but if it needs this size try 524288. If you have cablenut then These set MSS They should be 1452 for DSL or 1460 for other broadband. TcpRecvSegmentSize TcpSendSegmentSize These should be 522720 for DSL or 522680 for other broadband. TcpWindowSize GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize These are based on the size RWIN already being used. Also try disabling DefaultTOSValue by setting it to zero.This works better for some connections. The same is true for EnablePMTUDiscovery.You just have to see which works best on your connection.It can be either way. dlewis23 is having sucess with another MSS setting but I don't want to confuse things this should get you started. FiberOptic ;I don't think he expects 8Mb just better than the under 2 MB he's getting now. I haven't read the link yet but I'm fixing to.

First on the ethanol.Will it's increased use cause my food costs to go up?Next since the USA gets blamed for everything are we going to hear"People are starving & you are making fuel out of food." Next on the nuclear .I think we use it wrong .Heat generation to make steam to power a steam turbine to power a generator..Then we really can't dispose of the waste.Look what happens with a real meltdown(Chernoble).Until we can figure out how to absorb radiation & turn that into electricity I'm against nuclear. Next on the hydrogen.This is a good idea for stationary generation of electricity.Mainly a way to store electricity.Generate from solar & wind turn water into hydrogen & oxygen.then burn them back togather to generat electricity.I think instead of direct ground water sewage effluent would be the best water source . Now for methane.First we have a large untapped source of methane.Human sewage.Think of the amount wasted everyday .Almost all solid human waste could produce methane.Then burn it to produce electricity. The next methane source is I understand there are vast pockets in the oceans.so why not a floating power generation station that runs on methane. Now on an unused source of hydro power .Ocean tides Dams could be built that would generate fron the tides coming in & going out. On wind energy.We are going about this wrong.Large wind generators are OK but take more space.more maintence & the parts cost & wear is higher.If millions of small(regular water type windmill size generators) ran down every fenceline in parts of the country with enough wind .Think of the power that could produce.As well as jobs for maintence people for these.Sure this would have a cost but so does the electricity we buy now.The landowners wouldn't be paid much but would get a free fence & maintence on the fence. For solar :Its barely OK they need to develope much better solar panels. I have posted this before the real key is a battery designed much better than anything available.I did find & post some on a polymer battery but development on this has been limited.Opposed by the petroleum industry I bet. Now for the car part.I would like to see better electric cars .I think the better battery is the whole key.Combined with the electricty generation methods above. I don't like the way most hybrids work.all power to the ground should be electric.The on board fuel engines should only be connected to an alternator to charge low batteries.To work correctly I think a dual battery pack is whats needed.One pack charges while the other charges.For short extra power both packs could be used at once.This would certainly require a computer box control to route the electricity in the system. That should be enough for a chapter in a book.

Roco ;I bet you wouldn't want to buy fuel for it at 5 to7 MPG.But I guess if you could get area restaurants to give you their old cooking oil.You could filter it & a turbine would burn it.
-
Daiquirii;I think you & your dad should go to BlockBuster or its equivalent & rent you some Red Green DVDs & sit down & have a good laugh. On the wiring you definitely need to get someone to work on the phoneline(DSL line too) .If other wiring is bad it probably won't effect your PC too much as long as you have a good surge protector.

dlewis23 ;I can't argue with something that works.I would use 1440 if it works best.

Heres a couple of links on the turbine cars : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Turbine_Car http://www.allpar.com/mopar/turbine.html This started earlier than I thought & went on longer. I have personall rebuilt a slant 6 for someone else.These are among the heaviest built strait six engines.The crank & rods look like something out of a big block V-8.(I know not enough journals for a V- .Being a Ford man mostly I also like the 300 cid Ford strait 6.

The Dart was what got me to thnking Chrysler.I had heard of the turbine car but I have been to some car musuems & I have never actually seen one.I called the Chrysler/AMC/T-Bird pretty close .Read this : "In 1962, Chrysler put together this "mock-up" of what a turbine powered car would look like. Elwood P. Engle was the new director of design and from what I have been told the actual artist who penned the disign of the Typhoon was Mr. Charles Mashigan. Mr. Engle had only been with Chrysler since November of 1961 and maybe it was his input that made them look so much like the early 60's T-Birds or did Mr. Mashigan imagine the style. I Know that Charles Mashigan was involved in both the Ghia turbinecar and the Ford Thunderbird design - I also know he went on the be the head of AMC's design department. "
-
I don't think it's an Imperial coknuck.It looks sort of Chrysler but it also looks sort of AMC then again the rear looks kind of t-bird say around 1967.I haven't got it yet. tommie I bet that cam loped a bit.The lift was not a problem specially since todays cams use less duration.Yeah Dodges dual snorkle or even their ram air .

philp ;Ok I'm trying to help with XP again when I don't have it. First check the driver for your keyboard & run it through update wizard to see if its's the best driver. If you have a seperate disc for youe keyboard you might try running it. If you have any settins fir your keyboard in the control panel try those. So much for the easy & obvious. Some of these files might be hidden so you will have to unhide them if they are Do you have a file someting like i386 I think this has the original Windows installation files if it's in your XP. Or a Windows install disc.If you have a ghost disc then you are out of luck on using it for any files. If you have the i386 file then extract keyboard files to your INF folder & System folder. The system files may just start with KBD But there should be a keyboard driver. Xp has some other restore features but I would try these first.
-
philp ;I remember reading something on this.It's probably for a 9X os but I will look at some of my notes & see if it might apply to XP as well.

I gave a link to this old topic to mrproper as an example he posted his current CableNut in it Which is OK. dlewis23;Why are you using 1440 for these settings:TcpRecvSegmentSize & TcpSendSegmentSize .I have read that XP can have it's MTU at 1480 & you have to change it so it will use 1500 or 1492. Also this DefaultReceiveWindow isn't based on AFD parameters. Your send window is. These are based on you MSS but seem small to me If you need to use 1440 as your MSS then you might increase those to 63360.Since you have the scaling off. & in doing some recent reading you might try this a zero DefaultTOSValue

Help me tweak my connection ---isp:mydestiny(phil)
cholla replied to oistz's topic in Make it Faster...
oistz ;Welcome to the forum .It sounds like you have been a guest for a while now.I'm suprised you haven't read more about RWIN here. You need to get CableNut.This will let you make RWIN settings easily.Probably to start with there is a analyzer that will give you the settings to use. Your RWIN is too small for your connection. Some people prefer TCP Optimizer instead of CableNut some like both. I will go into this again though the TCPIP Analyzer at speedguide is good to check the RWIN in XP.It's suggestions for the RWIN value it detects are incorrect.It detects the DefaultReceiveWindow this is based on AFD parameters not MSS value in XP. If you decide to get CableNut I or someone will look up the link for the online analyzer.Testmy also has some .ccs files for CableNut by VanBuren if you know your connection & there is the correct file for it. -
Use the analyzer here & let's see where the RWIN,MTU & MSS are. Also update the IE I bet it's not the latest version. In IE in tools/internet options/general/temporary Internet files/ settings go ahead a move up the amount for now & see if that's partly blocking your speed.Then move it back down if you like. https://www.speedguide.net/analyzer.php Also since you didn't post it what is the OS?

Doomsday ;No doubt those are good rockers probably more than a fairly stock street engine needs.They are more subject to wear & need replacement to stay the correct choice.I was thinking more like an improved stock type . Better wear duration for a street car.But that's IMO. I noticed you like Summit so I checked their cams & the type timing chain I prefer.I'm putting in the links.If you want to take a look. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=CLO-9-3100 I always like one of these more sure not to jump than a stock chain & if you want it a 4 degree advance .I thought my cam must have had the correct advance at zero because that produced the best performance. But some applications like an advance of 4 degrees.It will also let you retard by 4 degrees but I doubt you want to do that.It's a full performance high RPM only application to retard the cam. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=SUM%2D1104&N=700+4294924497+4294887637+115&autovie=sku I kind of liked this cam but I always though something with around a 280 duration performed well. or this one a little milder. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=SUM%2D1103&N=700+400304+302116+4294908216+4294837912+115&autoview=sku The reason I brought up the H-pipe is its a free HP gain even if it's a small one. You might also consider wrapping the headers with insulation tape for this.It lowers engine compartment heat & with the carb drawing in engine compartment air this will give it cooler air.You might eventually want to consider a different air cleaner for this reason.It's best to take in air from outside the engine compartment.

Doomsday ;On the exhaust I would consider adding an H-pipe or crossover pipe whichever term you like.I think you will like the result.This actually helps with a small increase in HP & better tone of the exhust usually. On the cam thats a pretty good amount of lift but as long as the valves are clearing the pistons probably OK.You didn't post the duration or amount before or after TDC this cam differs from stock.It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to check into some top quality rocker arms. On the transmission either they hold up or don't.I pulled a fairly heavy boat several miles & trips to the lake with a Turbo 350 in the 77 El Camino I had at the time. It's exhaust was illegal but it passed inspection several times.I eliminated the converter.The reason they couldn't tell was I hsed the transmission support out of a older car it had the two little humps for dual exhaust instead of the big one for the convertor.I used turbo reverse flow mufflers.Slightly quiter but still a nice deep tone. I consider a Canadian made car American even though it does knock some American out of a job.

silverchickensofdoom;Welcome to the forum & I have to ask about your user name.
-
Hey Doomsday;I'm going to go mechanic on you for a minute.What do you mean by strait exhaust.This can be taken several ways? Next that thing would be your evaporator box & although that would be the left side of the picture .Thee passenger side of the car is the right side.(that's on an American car like yours). It Looks like you've got a nice start.btw:What do you consider a good cam profile?

mrproper;I think it's Muy Bueno that you like to tweak & test.Don''t test my Spanish me comprende muy pacito.& even that's probably spelled wrong. Take a look at these screen shots in these topics & see the variety of settings people use in cablenut.Then search the testmy site putting in "cablenut settings" & see how many posts you get. So it's hard to know what's best all the time.I think we have made yours better. About the 2 send settings I think 393216 seems large too but it worked well.Then I gave you 65536 to try & the first time it slowed you down then when you tried it again it gave you the best speed. So look at these topics: http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=3274.msg30972#msg30972 http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=5673.0 Then just to keep you wondering if these settings are correct for your connection.Heres a link about how ATM works ATM is the A in PPPoA.It's different than most connections it the way it stores data & sends it.Then it has to have settings like an MTU of 1500 to match it with the rest of the connections.If the whole internet was PPPoA it could be very fast. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AAL5
