Try the 2992 file test for me, and make sure you clean out your cache. Tools*Internet options*Delete Files including offline content*OK*OK*test. Then try with your firewall off? Also what Anti-Virus are you running?

Are you on a router? Is your router or modem very close to other electrical items?

To check, simply bypass the router directly to the modem, and test.

Have you defragged your hard drive, or cleaned out your registry lately?

Welcome to the forum ryft

Sorry Swimmer. Open the pic, it is cute.

I agree. But will we still have bodies? And will sex, just be another virtual reality?

So true resopalrabotnic, I did not think of that. And me an old C.B. nut. I would never say that( "this is rubber duck. F#@& all cops!").

Alittle more info. "Electric cars are driven by large electric motors usually rated between 3.5 and 28 horsepower. For those accustomed to gas engines, this may not seem like much power, but the rating systems used for gas engines and electric motors are so different that the numbering system is almost meaningless. Gas engines are rated at their peak hp, electric motors are rated at their continuous hp. The peak hp of an electric motor is usually 8 to 10 times its continuous rating." Motor Information "It should be noted, that comparing electric motors with gasoline engines is like comparing apples and oranges. Gasoline engines are rated at their peak power, and electric motors are rated at their continuous power. It is for this reason that a 30 hp electric motor will generally perform like a 50 hp gasoline engine in a same weight vehicle. Of course the addition of a large number of batteries will diminish the vehicle's ability to accelerate or climb hills." ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTORS TO USE IN ELECTRIC VEHICLES: "The brushed series DC motor is the best overall motor for affordable road-going conversions available today. AC motors operate at high rpm that have to be stepped down, and have expensive and complex speed control systems. Brushless DC motors (actually another kind of AC motor) also require expensive controllers. Permanent magnet motors are very efficient, but only in a very narrow rpm band, and quickly lose their efficiency in the varying speeds of normal driving. Shunt and compound motors are more expensive to build and have poorer acceleration than series motors. For these reasons, the brushed series DC motor is the motor of choice." ______________________________________________________________________________ AC VS DC MOTOR COMPARISON: "Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. Two types of electric motors are used in electric vehicles to provide power to the wheels: the direct current (DC) motor and the alternating current (AC) motor." _____________________________________________________________________________ DC MOTOR HORSEPOWER RATINGS: The Horsepower ratings for Electric Motors are a little deceiving, Electric Motors have about 3 times the torque than gas motors and the peak horsepower is basically limited only to the controller used. An Advanced DC motor rated at 17.5 hp will power a Geo-metro to over 70 mph. ______________________________________________________________________________ http://www.cloudelectric.com/generic.html?pid=66 According to this it could (8-10) 1888-2360 HP, or (30-50) 393 HP. And the torque would be aproximately 546 lbs. Torque.But evidently a lot of zoom. Actually a rotary engine like Mazda's would probably come closest by comparison.

He could have spare charged batteries. In reference to electric Hp, on air compressors an electric 2 hp will keep up with a gasoline 6 hp. So 300 would be pretty awesome.

Real nice find Van. I am really curious of the spec's on that bad boy. HP and such. I wonder if he rechargers between races?

The ads are just fine!

So the Ham radio is harder to track then?

Didn't just-ini-lay and private have the 2992 high scores?

Another interesting read. Banning Patriotism But why should students in America feel threatened or insulted by the display of the American flag? After all, they pledge allegiance to it at the start of each school day. The reason seems to have something to do with American educators

I was not sure where to post, so here we are. The Highest Patriotism Lies in Weaning U.S. From Fossil Fuels by Robert Redford The Bush White House talks tough on military matters in the Middle East while remaining virtually silent about the long-term problem posed by U.S. dependence on fossil fuels. Failing to rein in our dependence on imported oil gives leverage to undemocratic and unstable regimes. Wasteful consumption of fossil fuels creates political liabilities overseas, air pollution at home and global warming. The rate at which the United States burns fossil fuels has made our country a leading contributor to global warming. The Bush administration's energy policy to date -- a military garrison in the Middle East and drilling for more oil in the Arctic and other fragile habitats -- is costly, dangerous and self- defeating. Despite the absence of leadership on energy security in Washington, some local efforts are paying off. Last year, San Francisco voters overwhelmingly approved a $100-million bond initiative to pay for solar panels, wind power and energy efficiency for public buildings. The measure was supported not only by the environmental community but also by the Chamber of Commerce, labor unions and the American Lung Assn. San Francisco's first solar project, a $5.2-million energy- efficiency upgrade at the Moscone Convention Center, was dedicated last month. What's the straight economic benefit of this particular project? Plenty. The upgrades and the panels combined will cut energy consumption in the building by as much as 38%, and the project will pay for itself from energy savings. The net savings to taxpayers after debt service is subtracted are projected to be more than $200,000 a year. American rooftops can be the Persian Gulf of solar energy. After Australia, no developed nation on Earth gets more annual sunlight than the United States. In addition, wind is now the fastest-growing energy source worldwide and one of the cheapest. But wind and solar power generate less than 2% of U.S. power. We can do better. We can increase auto fuel economy standards to 40 miles per gallon. The technology to achieve that goal exists now. Phasing in that standard by 2012 would save 15 times more oil than Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is likely to produce over 50 years. We could also give tax rebates for existing hybrid gas-electric vehicles that get as much as 60 mpg, and invest in mass transit. These measures would keep energy dollars in the American economy, reduce air pollution and create jobs at home. The benefits of switching to a mostly pollution-free economy would be considerable, and the costs of failing to do so would be steep. Prolonging our dependence on fossil fuels would guarantee homeland insecurity. If you are worried about getting oil from an unstable Persian Gulf, consider the alternatives: Indonesia, Nigeria, Uzbekistan. If we want energy security, then we have to reduce our appetite for fossil fuels. There's no other way. Other issues may crowd the headlines, but this is our fundamental challenge. Big challenges require bold action and leadership. To get the United States off fossil fuels in this uneasy national climate of terrorism and conflict in the Persian Gulf, we must treat the issue with the urgency and persistence it deserves. The measure of our success will be the condition in which we leave the world for the next generation. Weaning our nation from fossil fuels should be understood as the most patriotic policy to which we can commit ourselves. ------------------ Robert Redford is an actor, director, entrepreneur and environmentalist. http://www.progress.org/energy13.htm Just thought it might be interesting.

And I suppose a Ham radio is out of the question?

Try ROM's tweaks then, I used a few myself.

What you are looking at is the average for all packages of that ISP. So there are different packages for your ISP. And you will only get higher if you pay for a faster package.

I have heard some of driving in Dallas, but I guess I got the lollipop version. And he left out the Armed in Texas part.

1000/512,

At the home show, the Geo thermal was heat and cool. But they said the cheap install is where you install as you build. Unfortunate part of 55 degrees would be too cool for my blood in the winter. But that would certainly cool.

It was pretty scientific until I read this. Does this mean that he has talked to aliens? Using this generator, it was found that smoke blown through one side of the coil does not appear on the other side of cylindrical coil. The smoke flows through the wormhole and appears in a hyperspace co-dimension. It was this experiment that resulted in making first contact with the androids of the Grey aliens who told me, in a remote viewing session, that "We saw you blowing smoke into hyperspace." It would save on fuel and parking. now that might piss off the oil Co's. Great find ROM-DOS.

As soon as the VA approves it, I might try it.

Now that is cool Grizz. http://alt-e.blogspot.com/2004/08/worlds-largest-alternative-energy.html
