BMW 325I

After rereading this post it looks like we have different people looking at different angles as to what makes a car better than other. some people are talking about performance and driving nature while others are talking about best bang for buck. i agree though, for the average joe who doesn't...

BMW 325I

I would also look into getting a 330 over the 325, but that is not to say the 325 should be disrespected like it is in this thread. Given the choice between a nissian maxima or a bmw 325 whatever year i would choose bimmer all day long (provided we are talking about 5speeds). That line by an...

I'll probably end up doing this too. I think some of you guys take for granted how much you know about computers. There would be no easy 10 minute explaination for this buddy of mine. He is right in the middle of college classes and doesn't care how a computer works, he just wants it to work...

This is what I tried to the first time i set up the computer for him and it still eventually got a bunch of spyware and those stupid add-on internet search bars. It think it was the case that everything I told him went in one ear and out the other. That and he is in college and he lets people...

thanks for the reply but I guess I was thinking of restrictions beyond I.E. so that his XP user account could not install programs. I've got two partitions on the drive, one for operating system and one for data, so would it be possible to make it so he couldn't change the O.S. partition but he...

Why no rap or "hip hop" before late 70s / early 80s?

you shouldn't hate on this style of music because it uses samples. no one is doing less work by using samples....it takes a certain amount of talent to make a song using a sample and keeping it fresh throughout the song.
