    Another IE 7 rant!

    Whenever I open a link for a Windows Media Player event. like BoatBoy's XB35 in Chat, IE also opens a blank window in addition to the Media Player window. It's just a small PITA, but causes you to have to close two windows when you are done viewing.

    Controlling CEO's pay!

    The Dems have long wanted to be able to control how much CEO's are paid. While I agree that many seem to be paid extravagant amounts, especially in ailing companies, to allow any laws to control compensation would be a very sticky situation. I would not be in favor of it. The Dems now have a...

    180 deg Stat for a Merc 888?

    If you don't run in salt water, any reason not to use a 180 deg stat in the 302? The engine would like it better and unlike the OMC 302 you get some engine cooling water preheat from the exhaust manifolds that would moderate the engine getting cold lake water when the thermostat starts to open...
