Last time I called IA I was quoted around 145 shipped, it's best to call them however.

I hate windows media player's navigation.. its turrible. Itunes is simple IMO I've used it even before I had an IDevice

I like Itunes too, when I had a less powerful computer I hated it.. Such a resource hog. I ran it in wine for the longest time.

I started to learn C++ but could never fully get into it. Dad has taught it for some years now.

Wine is an emulator and there are limitations and, sometimes, complications whenever you're using emulation. If it's just something you use occasionally, emulation is generally sufficient, but if you need to use it several hours every day, those limitations/complications can make things very inefficient and frustrating.What it boils down to is official hardware and software support of most consumer products. Very, very few consumer products support Linux. For the most part, someone somewhere will have developed a method to get it to work, but it's not always in the same capacity as running it in Windows and sometimes more complicated. You have to do your homework before you make purchases for Linux systems. That being said, it's not terribly difficult to learn and there are definite upsides to Linux. Most distributions are free to use, which is a big plus if you build your own machines. You're far less likely to be affected by malicious software while using Linux and Linux is renowned for stability, which can save you time and money. Makes sense. Same principal as running Windows software virtually on a Mac. If it's something you need frequently you're better off using the OS it was meant for. So, when deciding to run Linux it's probably a good idea to check what programs that are important to you for compatibility or alternatives, if I'm understanding correctly. Yeah it's certainly not for everyone, and what programs you use and NEED has to come into consideration. Programs I use: filezilla (FTP) itunes outlook (email) photoshop notepad++(text editor) apache(local server setup, testing scripts) vlc(video player) openoffice(like msword) winisd <--don't use that often. I bet winisd would work fine under wine, or VM if worst comes to worst. sony vegas <--occasionally use few video games here and there. All of the above can either be ran natively on linux, or has a direct replacement, except for itunes, photoshop, vegas, and games. There are some decent video editing apps for linux though, and photoshop has been ran under wine with good success. Only things that kept me from going completely linux was the need to run itunes & photoshop. Which both happen to run natively on mac osx. There are Linux alternatives that allow you to sync your idevice with it. Like you would iTunes

The seat hole isnt very big. You may have to remove panels to allow more space. Or you can dO a little bit of hacking to allow more space. On my 2011 I was only able to fit about 10" of height

do you run a desktop or laptop? Personally I'd run RAID. I use 2 different computers and keep all the data on an external HD. I use my office computer to store the backup on the main HD. However, I will have my own computer soon and won't have to move the external around. What exactly is a RAID? "redundant array of independent disks" It is for servers to spray the files out across different hard drives so there is physical back ups and on some cases, faster access too. I run raid on my laptop, just for back up. Most computers come with multiple hdds anyways and is simple to setup. And it's fairly cheap too.

Pretty cheap high quality electronics is what I associate japan/ Korea with

IMO its a good direction, it gets people famirialized with linux, most would have never tried it if it weren't for UBUNTU's usability Oh I think Debian would be a better route. Ive tried many distros throughout the years and never liked them more than I did Ubuntu. Nothing compares except for Apple which is a good thing. get something as powerful and usefull as an apple for no way near the price. I wouldn't call Apple a linux distro, it's far from it. I don't need anything powerful in terms of processing, I may use it for taking notes, and the rest will be low processing tasks. Cheap pc laptops feel "cheap" and I dont like it, I'm just getting an older used macbook, ~500 isn't bad. I never said it was.. But it is unix based Was merely saying the look and feel is starting to resemble an apple feel. I would love to own a Mac but the price per powerfulness is insane. I'm about to make an insanly powerful Linux box

did you use the wubi installer? it gives you options on which gui to use.. Ubuntu is trying to be the most user friendly of all OS's more appealing to the newer people to linux.

Shipping that battery costs $80 without including materials...I was selling used 300MR's for almost as much as you're saying. I knew a few guys on various forums who were buying pallets at their work for a good price. They were having sales on em. So yeah.

55 more and you get a d3100... I would find them used, you can get the 500mr's for about 130 or 150 shipped.

I'm running 5k on a single Zcon

Granted he's only running 3k

On my muscle relaxers I found that everything was relaxing.

IIRC it's usually ceramic based?

I wouldn't worry about it to much. I would be amazed if they rusted through in the lifetime of the car. Agreed but it seems like every site I looked at today has been swearing that header wrap is the worst thing since Cancer. J I used it on my LTs on my Cobra and never had any issues. They're still on there too, although they were SS so that helps. I wouldn't worry about rust. I am sorry for the lack of knowledge but what do you mean by LTs and SS? J Long Tubes and Stainless Steel. I am not 110% sure of the material mine are made of. I thought about having them jet-hot treated. J Isn't there a thermal goop you can put on it to reduce heat? Something like the useless "deadener" shit that some companies sell? But it's for your engine.. Idk lol What's the best glue to recone a sub? Any brand in particular? I know CA glue...

Thank U! Would you recommend that option or not? Its like a extra 25. And does it help performance in anyway? The sandwiched leads will eliminate any potential tinsel lead slap at high excursion. I would go with them, I though they were standard anyways?

I remember hearing something about Aura being bought out a while back, and the products since then aren't up to par as they use to be. I'm not saying this amp is bad, but hopefully someone else can chime in on this. I know I almost bought one a couple months back, they sure look nice. Yea I remember the guys talking about it and PE is selling these pretty cheap per watt if they do rated. I shall wait and see what others have to say. I might pick one up... my SAX-125.2 is acting wacky.. It'll randomly shut off and on.. very odd high pitch coming from the amp it's self. Is your SAX a refurb or new? Brand new. Are you going to send it to db-r for repair? Maybe I have a 4 channel laying around that i may use instead I dunno.
