Alas, burned by the preview button.

Peace be with you - Ive never flashed a VW ecu, but after tuning an 86 mustang ecu with a hex editor, i can't understand why they got so complicated.

two != too

not a grammar nazi, just found it funny :)

I've been here for 11 years. I still don't understand how this even happens.

Just came to say I'm impressed by you still using 56k AND visiting slashdot. I hope you have ad blockers running (even though they take 20 minutes to download) ;)

Sure, maybe it does indicate something about their personality, but that is neither here nor there. AFAIK this wasn't public knowledge previously, meaning someone went through the effort to find this information and release it against the will of at least one person. Not only is that illegal, but also immoral. It's no one person's place to just find shit about others to smear on the walls. Does that mean cheating/thinking about cheating is okay? Probably not. But stealing this data for a smear campaign is definitely wrong.

Not saying this takes blame off of any of the parties involved, but I think your stance on it is a bit strange.

Way to go guys, now if I click top right to open comments on the reposted poll, it doesn't go anywhere until I expand options.

More than you ever needed to know about batteries.

As a side note, if anyone is considering replacing a car battery, I highly highly recommend the Optima. I have a red top, and again today it prevailed with flying colors after ten years of abuse - you can't even read the sticker anymore.

decent welder, spool gun, wire, shielding gas, i think youd be lucky to come in under 500 but it may be possible. Soft is one word for it, I think it's best described as "gummy."

I can definitely level with this. Last year I was working with an SD TV, while my roommate had an HD TV. In spite of obvious quality differences, mine was easier to use because the interface was phenomenally faster. It's a sad state of affairs.

MIG welding aluminum is possible, but not without specialized equipment. It's out there, but its gonna cost you. Also takes more practice. I'll take TIG, thanks.

Yes, foam, multiple plastic barriers, huge rubber bushings, you name it. Anything for NVH, damn the drivers or mechanics.

Not terribly likely, as they're always isolated systems. Diesel nozzles are larger as well IIRC. I don't believe they fit - not that it stops anyone from doing it to their land rover anyway.

Why waste a phone line with so much fiber around?

I've had a perfectly good xbox 360 in the back seat of my car wide open since February. I also leave the keys in the ignition sometimes, always unlocked, and typically with windows down/t tops out.

but hey, if you tried driving my 86 Mustang GT with bearings instead of bushings and the not so friendly motor, I wouldn't be surprised if you brought it back. especially with the headliner in the way of the mirror.

"Nah man, you can keep this one."

I realize GP was joking, as are you, but I find this topic much closer to home than many of you it seems. I work in a garage that has a couple fans for air circulation, but I assure you I do manly things all day and do sweat my ass off - in the summer that is. Come wintertime, I layer up all over and am quite comfortable as long as there isn't an excessive breeze. (Virginia, USA, so pretty much 25F to 95F are 95% extremes [-4 to 35 for you SI users])

I don't see what all the fuss is about for an office thermostat.
