I recall a few short years ago, a long-running feud around any "official" use of WM by the Aussies resurfaced. The composer of WM was an American, and not an Aussie as you'd think. I recall the dispute is some sort of copyright or ownership thing.

Jason...I saw nothing from you that I would deem offensive, in fact what I posted was far more extreme. I will attempt to clarify what I was trying to get across to anyone trying to shed fat and get in shape. Using this thread as an example, the vast majority of folks set their goals using...

The Dan was Dan O'Brien. I'd have to Google for the Dave. I'd like to add a couple to the flop list. One, I recall was previously mentioned. Jeff George. The top rated high school QB in the country that year. Let's see if I can come close to recalling his twisted route to the NFL. With...

I didn't bother to check out the list. My first thought upon hearing that ESPN put a list together was that it must have been a slow month. Sawchuck at 20th? What netminders were above him on the list? Two max, in my books. Being between the pipes today is so far removed from what it was in...

Classic symptoms of a bad heating core. Where you want to be looking is at the firewall behind the engine. The core will usually be fed by two rubber hoses of a diameter not much more than an inch, coming not from the rad, but from lines off the engine itself. They'll go into the core mounted...

Jason...don't accept the idea you're a "hard-gainer" as a cop-out for your lack of progress. Show me a "hard-gainer", and I'll show you a "bad-eater". You didn't state your age nor the amount of fat you're carrying around, but both have little relevance here IMO. It won't matter if what...

It's not my place to dispute anyone else's opinions. Everyone works from an individual criteria set to assemble and backup their Top 100 list choices. My list is headed up by Bobby Orr. I have trouble arriving at my #2 spot. Gretzky and Lemieux are cut from different cloth. Gretzky gets it done...

Throughout this thread there has been only one mention of lean body mass. If you gauge your progress by what your scales read you are more than likely being mislead. If you are not maintaining and/or adding to your lean bodyweight you are going in the wrong direction. When you clean up your...

Here's some that come up right away for me. DeBussey's Clair de Lune from The Right Stuff. When they flash back and forth between the scene where the Mercury astronauts are at the Texas BBQ gala watching the feather dance on stage, and another where Chuck Yeager puts a hole in the desert...

Your HD is likely the master drive on your primary IDE channel, the CD Rom drive the slave. Your burner was probably the master on the secondary IDE channel. (if you are running RAID, I'm not the guy to be taking advice from) If you set the new drive's jumpers for 'cable select' and failed...

Just run a cheap pair of composite cables to a free video input on your set from your Denon. Select this input on the set's menu when you want to get the Denon's OSD. The OSD for the 3802 isn't supported over a component connection.

Beep, beep, backup the truck. What volume of air is the loft getting? Perhaps the ducting has been balanced where the majority of the air from the furnace is directed to the main floor. Is there adequate return from the loft area? The unit may be old, undersized, adequate, not up to snuff, or...

A bit off the subject, but I have read more than a couple of accounts around the breaking of the German codes since the events were made unclassified; and one prior that broke the events out into the open. The Poles were initially responsible for getting the whole ball rolling. They had been...

Max got it right. Tim Horton's recently went to some sort of frozen donut made in a plant somewhere and shipped to their outlets. It caused an uproar among the geriatric community up here who invade TH outlets every morning, setting up camp 'til naptime comes calling. It was nothing much more...

1st Officer with an airline? Why would he want to go back to working for a living like the rest of us? These guys have the pension packages second only to politicians, fly very little over the course of a month, and fight forced retirement to get time off from their wives and hang with the...

Phil....about this guy you got passed over for. Anyone figured out who it is in upper management that this guy's related to?

Passing over insiders and importing from elsewhere is not uncommon. I know of a couple of instances recently where management pulled an about face and promoted an insider despite him not packing the papers to meet the qualifications for the position. This was directly due to growing protests...

Ok. It was Kareem in Airplane.

Burt Reynolds played football at Florida State. I seem to recall O.J. Simpson appeared in at least one. An airline pilot in Airplane? Also Alex Karras. A number of TV shows as well as the one alongside Jeff Bridges, James Woods, an Aussie chick (The Thornbirds?)centered around pro...

If all you're concerned with is the picture quality and everything else appears OK, I side with the previous suggestion to wait it out for awhile. My set's PQ kept improving the more hours I had on it... well beyond the 1000 hour mark. I can't say it still continues to improve 'cause I'm not...

I'll try to keep this short and sweet. One, phone the company and ask for the person at the desk the piles of applications reside.(you know this 'cause your resume and cover letter was addressed directly to them in the first place, right?) Once you've got them on the line, explain to them...

If the housing market in your area is hot, the better off you'll be. A home is only worth what the market dictates. If there is an abundance of buyers out there there's a fair chance there might not be enough homes for sale to go around. So, as a former realtor here's my take. When selling...

If shutting off the water to the toilet puts an end to your problem here's what to do next. By the sounds of it, the flapper on the flush valve is leaking by. The level in the tank slowly drops down to the point where the ballcock valve is initiated, introducing water to make up the volume of...

Hold on a sec. Jonathan.....I'm not sure why at this point current is even a concern. Does your meter even have a clamp? If you're using the meter's probes to register current you'll need them in series with the circuit closed and powered up. If you're trying to find what's keeping your...

Uh....you're just referring to drywall mud as 'Spackle', right? You're not USING Spackle, right? I didn't look at the photos, but what we called staggered studs was for soundproofing applications where we built a thicker wall than normal. Using a wider track and cap, conventional-sized studs...

I have dealt with both dimmable compact fluorescents and dimmable conventional fluorescents. The reason for all the problems everybody had with them was due to them requiring an initial break in period. Virtually nobody in the industry was aware of this requirement. With the subsequent...

You say your card reader is an internal device. So I take it then that the card receptacle end is mounted on the face of your PC's case, right? Now I'll admit I've not paid a hell of a lot of attention to PC development for the last few years, but I can't imagine any reason to run an internal...

I have no idea just what an internal USB is, but why wouldn't you just buy a USB hub to pickup whatever devices you want to connect? You could tie it into one of the rear ports and park it anywhere your heart desires.
