    UN-Official Formula 1 Thread

    I like the adjustable wings but I’m not sure if I like the way it is being implemented by the FIA. Same goes for KERS. There is an instance in this race during a midfield battle that the car in front actually is allowed to use the DRS and the car following is not. In DRS rules there is a...

    Stabilizer - Surge protection for AVR

    First you should look at all the equipment you will be pluging into it not just the AVR. A plasma TV for example will draw a few hundred watts. I do have an APC H15 and can recommend it. It came in handy this winter when the power went out for a day and I hooked up the generator. The line...

    Basement home theatre

    Theater is looking like its comming along great. But please do me a favor and buy some thick gauge metal straps for those two joists that were cut for the dryer vent. That joist is no longer structuraly sound and will fail. At a minimum it will just keep cracking the ceiling drywall in your...

    Barnum Underestimated The Birth Rate Of Suckers

    Power cords are my favorite. I love how the last 3 feet of power cable can fix the hundreds of feet of wire in my house not to mention the hundreds of MILES of power cable from the electric plant. That last three feet can straighten out the electrons and put them in order for delivery to your...

    Ebay Greed - fees on shipping

    I think the thing that set me off the other day was the whole principal of charging the seller for the profit the shipping company makes. If they would have said we are raising the normal fees from 9% to 10% I think I would have just brushed it off as I have every year. I think I'm going to...

    Ebay Greed - fees on shipping

    So I get an e-mail from ebay today saying that they are going to save everyone money by having free auction syle listings. Well the real catch is that they will be charging you 9% (or 11% for fixed fee autions) on the cost of shipping. Yes 9% or 11% on shipping cost!!!!!! I know, they are not...

    F1 streaming I'm not sure if this has been asked before (I tried doing a search), but how can I stream live F1 races. I have dropped cable TV so the only races I can watch are the few broadcast on FOX. I have not missed a race in 10 years and can't afford to fly to all 19 races around the world...

    Think your weather is bad? Try Wisconsin!

    Here in CT we have had 74 inches of snow in the last 4 weeks. 2 to 3 buildings are collapsing daily from the weight on the roofs. The one in middletown CT today was really bad. http://www.wfsb.com/news/26710328/detail.html Also, Im tired of shoveling and want to listen to some music.

    Amp worth fixing?

    Thanks again guys for the recomendations. I was out bid on a Quad 34 a few days ago but will try again. Since these units are also 25+ years old, should I be concerened? I have to admit, I'm a little gun-shy right now. I know all electronic components have a life span, not necessaraly in...

    Amp worth fixing?

    I think thats my biggest fear. If I do have the problem components fixed then something else may go wrong due to the age of the unit. And after doing some research last night, a complete upgrade for this unit will run $350 +/-. Any recomendations on a good sounding preamp in the under $400...
