    Qualcomm Charges

    The big whoop is that it's a blatant cash grab, and they will lie about what it costs them to defend it. When Qualcomms first hit the industry they were expensive, both startup and repair costs, as well as operating costs. Additional money on top of the actual costs were taken in to provide...

    Turn Out The Lights The Party Is Over

    That's what the media does. They build 'em up, then tear 'em down. In this case, they've built Obama up so high, that it's gonna be extra special to watch them tear him down.

    Liability. The DOT regulates vehicles based on size and weight, to minimize catastrophic accidents, where most of them result in multiple deaths or devastating injuries. Carriers regulate cargo vans strictly for minimizing their liability, to keep insurance costs down, and to keep their safety...

    Report: Obama said 'I Am a Muslim'

    "Could this be true? Even if Gheit's claim isn't true, or was misreported..." Cracker Jack reporting, that one is. This is soooo yawn it's beyond boring. Anyone who says Obama is a Muslim doesn't have the first clue what a Muslim is. I'm serious.

    barry Gives Part of Arizona Back to Mexico

    You want spooky timeless? "The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work...

    “People all across the world have looked at this,” he said. Obviously, they haven't had to drive by it. “I know that these people here are devastated by this loss, but they will pick up, move on and they’ll build this back, and move on and continue doing what they do,” he said. Devastated...

    Sprinter Owners...

    The mixing of Kerosene or #1 diesel will not clean up the system. Only a fuel treatment will clean up the system. The use of #1 diesel, or mixing in Kerosene, is for cold temperatures to increase fuel flow and to reduce clouding. Page 8.15 of the Owner's Manual gives the proper mixture formulas...

    Flying J no Showers in future

    Oh, man. Unless I'm doing the 15.001 gallon thing at the J, when I fill up I routinely put 25-26 gallons in there. I've put a hair more than 26.5 gallons in there on quite a few occasions. One thing about running the tank near empty on a regular basis, and regularly using a fuel treatment, is...

    Deuteronomy 4:23-24 Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee. For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God...

    Even though it was constructed of plastic foam and fiberglass, it was make to look as solid as a rock, for rock solid faith, just like the name of the church, the Solid Rock Church. Whoops. You can't make this stuff up. There are just too many jokes to pick just one, I'm tellin' ya. Every...

    TA fuel sucks?

    In America, most states adopt ASTM D975 as their diesel fuel standard and the minimum cetane number is set at 40, plus or minus 2 (Flying J cough, cough), with typical values in the 42-45 range. California CARB diesel is minimum 50 cetane. Gasoline is an engineered product, so that octane...

    TA fuel sucks?

    After exhaustive research in talking with many drivers in person, online and on the CB, I have come to the following conclusions. TA fuel sux. Pilot fuel sux. Petro fuel sux. Flying J fuel sux. Wilco fuel sux. Road Ranger fuel sux. Sapp Bros. fuel sux. They all sux.

    Flying J no Showers in future

    I'm confused. I have a diesel Sprinter. On Sunday I was at the TA in Knoxville, TN. Around lunch time I went to the Subway there and got two sandwiches, one for lunch and the second went into the fridge for later. It was $11 and change, and they swiped my Expedite King Card at the time I bought...

    Looks like Israel is out in left field now.

    Couple that with North Korea's stated goal of actually launching an attack that will destroy the US, there ya go. They can't and won't launch an all-out attack on the US mainland, but they will keep nipping and pestering around the edges until we respond. They're expecting another bark, so they...

    Looks like Israel is out in left field now.

    We have a lot of treatied allies that have pretty much run their course, and now we're just meddling. As for Sough Korea, that's one that we never should have gotten involved with in the first place, but that's water over the dam at this point and we are involved. But if North Korea merely...

    Looks like Israel is out in left field now.

    We really haven't been the big dog since we showed our weasel side at the beginning of and throughout Vietnam. Obama merely continues the weakness that was started a long, long time ago, since before the Korean War, actually. We were in a good position in 1945, but didn't take long to pіss it...

    Looks like Israel is out in left field now.

    My definition of "our security interests" is the same as yours, anything that threatens the safety and security of the United States, and the liberty of its citizens. I don't mean monetary interests of US corporations that operate on a multinational basis, either. Especially not that, actually...
