you know you're getting into the hill country when the pumps go from 87/89/93 octane to 86/88/90

Funny, in our version of hill country you start to see 102

so true!

hello everyone !!!

i am new in this forum and i want to learn from here.....

i wish you guys will help me......

thanks.....

Feel free to ask your questions here or make a thread.

Make a thread. If you want to describe what you will ask in a thread here fine, but this isn't a place for serious conversation.

more than a few Remmy 870's, Mossberg 500's, coach guns, Ed Brown's, and Benelli Nova's/SuperNova's to boot :wub:

oh did I mention no less than FOUR Barrett's :ohsnap:

do want .50 BMG

I also want a .44 mag I think or maybe a .500 or .50AE. Probably wheel gun rather than auto.

A nice bolt action barrett would make me giggle too.

.44 Mags are fun, specially wheel gun form; being able to swap for .44 Special rounds at will is a major plus too

father in law has one. It's a hoot. I'm more accurate with that that my own personal .45 if I have enough time to really aim and prep and get my planets in alignment. Or benched. So much weight helps to handle some of the blast for sure.

I almost added that questions here are prone to jokes and insults lol

[///M5 2,833]

And the hop isn't for serious business. I will say though that if the new guy wants to preview his thread to make sure it follows the noob guidelines (see my sig) then by all means I would consider that ok. I hate useless threads so for that purpose I am okay with something serious in the hop.

I enjoy nothing more than squashing the hopes and dreams of those that are impresionable.

Hence my dream of being a spelling B proctor, and showing now quarter or kindness when some fragile hearted 5 year old miss spells antidisestablishmentarianism, or pneumonia

I picked up a Droid a bit ago with the 2yr upgrade.. upgraded from a VERY basic phone, so this thing may just be incredible to me. Here are a few of the free apps:

- gps turn-by-turn directions (w/ voice).. only thing it doesn't do is traffic patterns (compared with tom-tom), likely to be added later on. I do like the turn-by-turn on the street map, so you can see EXACTLY what it looks like where you turn.

- usb/bluetooth tethering (internet on your computer using your phone's internet)

- visual voicemail (with google voice)

- instrument tuner (guitar/violin/etc)

- ocr reader (only works with printed documents atm)

- metal detector (lol, actually works too)

- bunch of other crazy random free apps

edit: wow, just found the app google goggles. You can take a picture of something, it'll scan and recognize it, and search google for it. reads barcodes/products/text/virtually anything.

google goggles is amazing.

I bet it comes out for all platforms though.

Some people on a street corner by work were holding up signs that read God hates fags and you will eat your babies. One of them was stomping on an American flag. There needs to be a dumbass clause for the freedom of speech amendment.

Or a button for life?

Ever heard of the Westboro Baptist Church? What a bunch of people who need to be shot.

No kidding.

I used to really like MS city and streets for directions/gps, but I don't know how good it is anymore.

Probably packaged in the MS search/MS live progs that came with your phone.

What UI did you switch to? I am just using the HTC TP2 standard UI. I have to update and download the "1 new text" bug fix, but I can't imagine a better phone than this.. at least untill HTC comes out with a new one. They should become publicly traded here in the US. I haven't had a non HTC phone in 5+ years

I downloaded the spb mobile shell. Its supposed to cost, but I'm on a trial right now.

The only problem I have with the phone lies with texting and the pictures. Sometimes its just slow to open a new text, which is really annoying. Also if I'm in a convo with someone and leave it up on my phone and they text me something new, I can reply to it but unless I click there name in the convo it acts as if I never read the message.

With the pictures its just slow to open sometimes...

There is a new text bug. You may have better luck if you update.

how do you update...

[dem beats 1,223]

Look for a file out there for the new text bug fix. Plug the TP2 into your machine.

Next poast comming through!

on the old wing there was a program. Black Baller I think it was called. It had a girlfriend mode, and then a baller mode. in GF mode it would block girls from your GF mode for calls and texts. You could set different backgrounds everything.

Absolutely amazing. I think someone even made a version to have multiple GF's. AWESOME!

I was also big into OClocking my device. I had that SoB on a variable OC that would ramp up when I used it and ramp down when it was in sleep mode or low use. it added a good 6+ hours of battery time, depending on style of use.

And definately not the place to show-off links to powersteering components in the signature....

SOOO, basudec1509's signature is getting edited.

Sweeeet.. ordered a sax 100.4 from db-r ~ a week ago.. and they're refunding me the difference between the current sales price! And NOW, due to some miraculous mistake, my supposed B-stock amp is actually A-stock and brand new!

'There has been some mistake here. This amp is new, never been mounted, not a single scratch, it's not a B-Stock, it's an A-Stock. Oh well, their loss your gain, I only paid for a B-Stock amp.'

does anyone else feel like pandora reduced their bitrate or quality lately? At least for the free version?

[topgun 262]

Makes me miss my BBBIB's, now that was a set of party speakers.

what are said speakers?

My BIB's that had 12" drivers in them.

[topgun 262]

I get two out of my three thermostats today. Can't wait to see these bitches.

*damnit, just realized I am short RS-232 ports on the PC and won't be able to hook them up.

Radioshaft has a USB to RS-232 plug that lets you specify what COM to use.

If you've got a slow connection it will automatically reduce bitrate, that being said I have the PandoraOne so I don't know about the free version.

What kind of drivers were you using? Dang!

I have 5" drivers waiting to do a BIB, never thought much farther than 8s.

[topgun 262]

I fixed your post for you Todd. It was Eminence 12" LTA drivers and a Fostex FT17 if I remember correctly.

I had an idea that's what it was. First thing that came up in a google post.

And I honestly don't even know what you fixed.
