    Domain name ownership?

    A while back, people who had had the forsight to register certain names were holding companies hostage when they wanted to get their hands on those names that represented their business. In other works, had I registered the name FoMoCo.com and Ford decided they wanted to have that name, I could...

    Merc resistor wire question + another.

    I'm asking these two questions for a good friend. How do you identify the resistor wire on a 1986 140 hp 4cyl Alpha one setup? The friend is trying to put a pertronix one on it and it didn't seem to work the first time around. I think he needs to bypass the resistor wire. Should he just...

    Craigslist-Rants and Raves-Portland Oregon.

    Not exactly a place I'd go to keep up on current events but I found this a worthy bit of wisdom. And I quote from the Craigslist Poster: UNFAIR to compare 1930 WW2 appeasers to 2006 Islamic Jihad appeasers Because they were NOT appeasers by 1942.! Today's appeasers, even after 9/11 and 5804...

    First revision of the new Beachcraft.

    This boat has been sitting idle since I obtained it for the unbelievable price of 400$. It sits in a friends yard so I don't have daily access to it. One of the things that really bugged me about it (beyond all the obvious needs) was the bow rail. There is absolutely no reason for a boat of...

    The world wide Left in Mexico....

    ...has really shown their true colors again. They tried to count till they won and when it did not work they vowed they will run a shadow government. Doesn't sound to me too far off from what went on in Floriday and Ohio. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060905/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/mexico_elections
