As I see it, there are two great boxes of evidence. Naturalists refuse to see, admit, or even consider the fact that more than one exists. Hard-core creationists see the second, and ignore or try to explain away much of the first. The problem is that the only way to see inside the second box is to a...

I recently drove an 1981 US-import and was very disappointed: way down on power, and with no leather in the car, it felt like a japanese copy of a Porsche! :( Yep, the 81 US model was only 219 HP (vs 300 Euro). I don't think you'd get the same disappointment driving mine though. Those first 32-valv...

By the time you finish, even a "bog standard 320 BHP" 928S4 will have turned into a fire-breathing monster. "Old body style" in bad shape is more likely earlier 80's or even late 70's. Euro models are rare here, so HP would be somewhere between 220 and 235. A guy I met through a...

Timing belt and water pump done about 12000 miles back, I'll probably do them myself soon just for peace of mind. I'm not sure how the newer ones worked, but the timing belt on mine is a pretty big deal. It's a freaky long serpentine buried under all kinds of glop on the front of the engine. I read...

Heh, thanks for the link. My white one is an 86 1/2 5-speed. That was pre-S4 designation, but still a 32V engine (all aluminum block and heads). Rating is only 288HP, but it's torquey as hell. Tests for the year put 0-60 at 5.9, which was SCREAMIN in 1986. Glad to see some newcomers to the car. I'll...

Will, I just saw your pics in the \"speed\" thread, and followed them to the others on your site. Very nice. I really like the interior mods.

Unless youre retarded, you'll stop paying for insurance if it costs more than the medications themselves. Ok, now it's sounding a bit like you don't understand health insurance. First off, if the insurance (as a whole) didn't cost more than the benefits paid out (as a whole), there wouldn't be any ...

Actually, in the case of the UHC CEO, I don't think it's the employees that are the ones being screwed. UHC is my insurance provider in a midwestern state.

My guess is a simple hashing algorythm. That's the common approach to mapped lookups of stuff. Basically, the algorythm takes some kind of input like a text string, and returns a number between 0 and x. No matter where you run it, the same string would always return the same number. A good algorythm...

Not that I have anything against the injection part, but I've partaken in many a deep-fried turkey cooked in one of these things, and in the majority of cases no injection was done. Meat was fantastic tasting and VERY juicy every time. I'd have to say significantly better (particularly white meat) t...

After 14 bids, the price is now at $75 and the reserve is still not met. The fish that it's from is actually a Gafftopsail Catfish. I've caught probably a hundred of these over the years in Florida, and this is their natural bone structure. One sort-of-common name for them even is a "Crucifix F...

Make SURE it has a built-in HD tuner, unless you feel like spending a couple hundred bucks on a tuner box As far as I'm concerned, in most cases the built-in HD tuner is a waste of money. The only time you'd use that is if you were pulling HD signals over the airwaves. If you have cable or satellit...

A Manual 928 is really something you don't want! As the owner of a "Manual 928", I can't imagine that you've ever spent any time with one to come up with a comment like that. First drives can be a little awkward due to the pattern, with first down to the left. If you do what you would &qu...

This may sound far-fetched, but here's more food for thought...

Interesting. Other data seems to indicate that men tend to lean conservative, and women tend to lean liberal, and given the explanation above, that makes sense. Conservatives tend to think more than feel, and liberals tend to feel more than think. Tying all that together pretty much backs up the &qu...

The root of the problem is the religion; Islam began as a peaceful faith, but eventually drifted into violence due to a changed attitude in their prophet Mohammed.
