UPDATE 3: Car still stalling - Can I just keep running it like this?

The MAF is usually very easy to replace. In most cars, its the sensor right before the throttle body. Its typically held on by a 1 electrical connector and a hose clamp. Takes 15 mins to replace and you can buy the part online for around $100-150.

They just took out all the water dispensers here at work. What stupid cost cutting measures have you experienced?

Get this... in the cafeteria at my old company, the cashier had control over the untinsils. So unless you bought lunch there, you were not allowed to take a knife, fork or spoon. Even when you did, you could only have 1 of each.

Put in request online, they send you a box - it has a shipping label included. Mail it back, wait about 2-3 weeks and you should get your xbox back.

IBM laying off half of IBM Global Services

As a former IBM'er, and speaking with friends that are still with the company, I can confirm that they are quietly laying off about 30% global services. Right now, most of the people who were let go were consultants, so when they're all gone - they let go of regulars.

Unless you have a firmware modded dvd drive... you cannot in any way, run "fake" 360 games.. - most of the games now do require you to dl a patch before you can start playing... so if the games works, its real.
