  1. Got it 2 days ago but there is a lag problem with my HDTV. The video lag is caused by having to convert from native 480 to 720 native resolution. I'm so frustrated. Gonna try to hook it up to my old CRT TV tonight and see how that goes.
  2. If people can't afford to raise a family, maybe they shouldn't have a family to begin with.

    Bikers

    A granny driving an SUV cut me off this morning. No signals or anything. It's a good thing I constantly scan traffic around and ahead of me. Last night some dude in a sedan behind me almost hit me on the highway. I don't think he saw me until the very last sec and he was speeding.
  4. It's funny. I'm on my 10th year developing with Java. Where I'm from there is a shortage of good Java developers. Some people do live in bubbles.

    Superbikes

    I'm jealous! What do they call it? Sex on wheels?
  6. Cruisers are for "crusing" and crotch rockets are for racing and hauling ass. Why people compare the two, I don't get it. How about own one of each? Besides, if you're resting your body weight on your hands and wrists, you are doing it wrong. Your body should be held up by your abs and thigh, so you can feel the front end of the bike. That's why racers work out. Crotch rockets are not for everybody.
  7. Owning a bike is a very special experience. You need to get what you like and fits you best. In the end, it's your a$$ that's on that bike, not theirs. Don't listen to anybody!
  8. I'm 5'7" and riding a 07 ZX-6R. I can plant half of each foot and there is no problem at all. People I know get rid of their 250s in less than a month, and 500s in less than 3 months. Get an SV650, it's a good beginner's bike. If you look at the Hurt report, statistically speaking, 600cc and larger are safer.
  9. It's because bikes have less hp than most cars. My 120hp bike can do 170+ mph. My sport car with 250hp maxes out at 167mph.
  10. I don't post much, but couldn't resist the urge. They are both ugly. Doesn't make any difference whether they're mean or not. Wouldn't touch them with a six foot pole.
  11. Reincarnation is not a Buddhist concept. It is Hindu's. Buddhists believe in reborn. They are not the same.
  12. The SCCA allows highly modded cars to be raced. The cars are bumped up to higher classes where they are no longer competitive. -favaks
  13. So should we start including creation stories from other religions? Hinduism, Wiccan, Buddhism, and etc.. favaks
  14. Evolution and natural selection are not the same. Natural selection is a theory that describes the evolution of life. There can be many theories trying to describe a particular evolution, and they can be wrong, but evolution itself is a fact. Natural selection does not say that we cam from apes, dogs, dolphins, and etc.. You sould read "The Selfish Genes" favaks
  15. Evolution is a fact, just like gravity. Natural selection is a theory. favaks
  16. If you want to survive in a bar fight, make sure your friends out number his favaks
  17. You can't go wrong if you are dedicated. In the end, all martial arts reach the same point. There is a lot out there. If you want to get good fast, take mixed martial arts, Muy Thai, Boxing, Judo, BBJ. Kungfu is more of a lifestyle. Kempo is also very good. I have a hunch that somebody is going to tell you BBJ is the only art and everything else sux favaks
  18. Bush won by 3%. Wouldn't call that a majority. For every 100 people, 3 more agrees with Bush So the other 50+ million who didn't vote for Bush are dumb. favaks "The masses are asses."
  19. I agree with you Tree. People's right to reproduce is not taken away, but with rights come responsibility. If you are going to rely on the government for help, the government gets to make the decision. Same thing with health care. We will help you when you get sick, but you need to do your best to stay healthy, i.e. exercise, eat healthy. It's that simple. The health care problem in this country can be solved if people would just get off thier butt and stay healthy. Sorry, can't have your cake and eat t too. favaks
  20. This is a free society. If they don't like their job, quit. If the job doesn't pay enough, get a different job. There is no difference whether you are a police, waiter, teacher, software developer, and etc. Just because you're a police, it doesn't mean you're entitled to something special. There is always somebody who is willing to do the work for less, and maybe even do a better job. favaks
  21. Treejumps, You have your opinions and Mac has his, and I respect that, but you don't know him. I was there with him at Bridge Day. Time in sport doesn't mean anything if you don't have the right attitude, passion, and mindset. Life experience will carry you a long way. Most old time jumpers I've met have huge egos, and look down on other jumpers just because they've been in the sport longer. BIG FREEKIN DEAL! favaks
