Hello, I'm Michael and I'm totally into modern firearms. I like to operate them, look at them, clean them, break them down and reassemble them.... And on and on. I'm regarded by people who do not share my views as cynical but that's only because they don't know me. If you want to chat me up, feel free but I'm not a very talkative person heh heh.

  • Windows 7 can't start up.?

    I've built a computer with an AMD quad and ATi video card. I proceeded to install Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers. Everything is fine and dandy. I surf the web, play some games on Steam and while I left it idling and watched TV, the monitor suddenly "grayed out." Ever since that, the computer won't display ANYTHING, not even the boot-up screen.What's the problem here? Why would it suddenly blow up?

    I have tested it on various monitors and connections so it's not screen problems or adaptor problems. My old computer works fine on the lines used on the new computer.

    So, in summary, everything works fine for two days then blows up. Is it because of the built-in nVidia graphics driver? There's no safe mode to go to.

  • Custom paint order on a vehicle.?

    I've always been a blue person. The three cars that I've owned in the past two years have all been blue and that's not going to change soon. Has anyone heard of a custom order car with a different paint job than what's available on the ordering guide? I heard from my Audi SA that they can be ordered in a custom paint color. Any other similar situations in other car companies? I'm considering Infiniti and Mitsubishi. Infiniti doesn't offer a good blue and Mitsubishi only offers blue on the stick Evo. I want an auto box for my next car (my current is a manual) so I won't buy the GSR. Any good input would be appreciated.

  • Why are businesses afraid of providing quotes over the internet?

    Especially the auto industry. I've recently purchased a car and the whole deal had to be done over the phone. Even aftermarket work on the car could not be quoted over the internet. What is this phobia of businesses NOT providing their prices over the internet? I understand that it's easier to rip people off with the addition of little fees here and there when people actually get to buying something but do businesses not realize that if they're willing to provide quotes over the internet, they'd get many more deals? Is there some technical issue that hurts businesses if they provide a quote online? Why? I'm kind of frustrated over people not willing to give a number unless you call them.

  • Hit and run accident. What to do?

    Let's say my car was hit by someone who did not stop. I did not call the police (maybe unbelievable but I didn't think about that at the time). I was not injured in any way but my car has a nice dent behind my light on the right side. I stopped, got out, took a look and then drove off to Knott's Scary Farm (me and my friends planned that). I have a full coverage plan but essentially, what evidence do I have to provide to get my car repaired by the insurance company? Or can they just take a look at the damage and after I pay my $500 deductable, assign me to one of their associated repair shops, and get my car fixed?

  • Which type of ice cream do you prefer?

    I'm not talking about flavor. I'm talking, do you like hard ice cream (a.k.a. more water content, a.k.a. cheap ice cream) or do you like soft, melty ice cream (a.k.a. less water content, a.k.a. good ice cream). I personally like hard ice cream that doesn't melt as easy. Soft ice cream may be more creamy but it turns sloshy too fast!

  • Song played during Stealth (the movie) credits?

    I've searched around a bit but I can't be sure which song is the one played during the beginning of the credits. It MIGHT be Make a Move by Incubus but I'm pretty sure it's not. I could be wrong though. Someone tell me please? I'm out of the country so I don't have my Netflix subscription following me to rent Stealth again =)

  • Someone please explain to me the physics behind the HPBT 7.62 round?

    Okay... I have asked this question before, worded in a wrong way as to imply that the "open tip" concept is new. It is not. The current situation is that the M118LR round IS open-tipped and I KNOW opening the tip to allow air in WILL increase air-drag and thus decrease accuracy / precision. My question is, why would the U.S. military adopt a 7.62 long-range bullet with an open tip?

  • Do you get irritated by people mentioning an obscene amount of their sexual fantasies?

    I get the benefits of being in a relationship and that it's great but can't I distance myself from these riduculous amounts of sex talk? I'm straight, I get horny, I am normal but I don't go around talking about banging this chick, banging that chick 24/7. Has the modern society evolved into this unnecessary discussion of what guys would do? Those who do, don't talk and those who talk, don't do. Am I abnormal for not succumbing into this hype of TALKING about it excessively? If someone's getting laid every single night, kudos to you but I'm so sick of hearing people who OBVIOUSLY don't get laid talking like they're some kind of playboy and discussing whoever they see. What is your take on it?

  • I just bought a TiVo?

    1) I have a digital television

    2) I do NOT have cable service

    3) I have an "antenna" which connects to my digital TV via a CABLE line

    4) I'm pretty sure the antenna receptor device is supposed to take the place of a cable line but TiVo does NOT receive channels

    5) The setup kind of, sort of requires a commercial cable service like AT&T or Time Warner or whatnot.

    6) Why is it so God damn complicated? Why can't it just be a recorder with a timer? Maybe I should just get a simple TV recorder from RadioShack or something...

    If any of you guys can figure this out please tell me... I will attach additional information if need be. Thanks in advance!

  • Lipton Green Tea forming a film of mysterious substance?

    Okay, first of all, I've drank green tea all my life and recently I purchased a carton of Lipton Green Tea so I can make a pot-full of tea to mix with my pomegranate juice. I've made tea before but this "batch" seems to form a film of brown substance on the top... Like I've said, my consumption of green tea has been life-long but I've never encountered anything like this before... Is anyone else experiencing this?

  • Car commercial song IDing?

    1. Ford Focus SE. The advertisement shows two people going on a road-trip and one of the agreeing to buy the gas, the other would pay for food.

    2. Mitsubishi. The song is techno-ish, with the tagline "One car leads to another, leads to another."

    Both commercials are fairly recent in the So Cal area. Thanks for the help.

  • Am I the only one......?

    Who thinks that sagging is what makes them look good? I hear so often about people complaining about nudity in movies and how actresses "have sagging boobs." I always think to myself, man these people don't get much tail. Not saying you should be small and saggy but when a woman's pretty filled, they have to sag. What'd you expect? For them to be just under the throat? Stop complaining! They're pretty just the way they are.
