I have ZERO issues with the board update. I think the issues are user-error.

The issues stem comes from many sources. Some people could have only one, others (like me) have many. Off the top of my head I can think of three things. 1.) Slow connection2.) Old computer3.) Firefox/Java issues. Oracle is not pushing Java updates quickly enough to keep up with the Firefox rapid release schedule (new version every 6 weeks) and so users Firefox 5, 6, 7, or 8 usually have more Java related issues. Firefox versions 9 and up supposedly "fixed" this issue and for the most part I haven't had issues (running 10.0.1 currently).

The fact of the matter is that Java is a bloated mess and for users with slow connections and/or older hardware browsing the forums is much faster with Java disabled. However, there is no way to disable Java on a site by site basis with Firefox; it's all or none. Using an extension like NoScript allows you to disable Java on a site by site basis which is preferred because countless web designers make sites that are completely dependent on Java; you can't even access the site without Java enabled.

Again, apparently my sarcasm was not read.

A few years ago I bought some cheapo wire strippers from them, and I've used them quite a bit over the years and I'm thoroughly impressed for the price.

Managed to get there, but now am wondering what I'll say SHIT can't believe I hit order when I still need....

and I have a good stripper (would still buy another) but could use a good crimper for bullet crimp connections as I have a POS radio shack and an even bigger POS from Northern Tool. Didn't see one that looked any better though.

I love eBayers who roll up the price then cancel the bid that beat yours out at the last second.

I was glad I wasn't going to win so I didn't increase my bid............then I won anyways................fuckin a

My crimping tool is a set of Klein pliers, I think the strippers are blue handled.

You must be buying a lot of stuff to get free shipping.

Only have to hit $98. Amusingly I really only needed some $3 HDMI cables, but then things snowballed a bit and when I realized I could get free shipping it was an excuse to shop.

Forgot to even think about bothering to setup a wholesale account there. For this order it isn't worth it, but good call.

If you do set up an account you will have to spend $500.00 to get free shipping.

Not sad at all, wasn't even fun to laugh at. Complete tool with TERRIBLE ideas. Stupid noobs had a hard time seeing beyond it as well. Talk about misplacing and misusing information.

Instead of videos showing sheet metal flex from a car, he posted videos of his house falling apart.

Need I say more? :lol:
