Update. So, the noise was not repeatable, so i'm going to have to assume one of two things. The noise was air being sucked into the res, and when i filled the res back up i tightened the cap sufficiently to fix it. (not that it was lose or anything.) Or, It has/had some air bubbles trapped, and refilling the res was enough of a change in the system to dislodge them, or it's still there and yet to raise it's head again. In any case, i'm

Finished my war game! Not sure where i last updated, so i'll just give a quick review.. I think i was about to wipe out the Korx and the Drath last time i updated, both those fell easily. None of them had upgraded their ships to combat my missile attack and as such i was able to really focus on engines with my ships since i needed very little attack. I got a few shrinkers from them and did my upgrade, with more engines still. After this upgrade my huge hull had 50sp 250at

I happened to come across this thread whilst browsing around and would like to focus on one comment in the OP. I did not and don't intend on reading every reply, so feel free to skim over my comment those who are debating this topic at will. My point is for the OP (and i guess those who agree with the quote) [quote]And besides, I really don't think it's my place to judge them.

John Williams = Torture????? in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

So both me and my son both love listening to the works of the great movie composer, John Williams. (Like i need to tell you who he is.) This rainy afternoon my boy was playing some addictive browser game he always happens to find (google Bloons Tower Defense and you will understand) in the living room whilst listening to the Imperial March. My non sci-fi loving and most un-nerd like wife having to "put up" with the racket came into my study to grab the MP3 player so she could

Yeah i've looked into many other cams, but they are all ridiculously expensive....but then i googled your model and saw it wasn't much different! You paid $220 or close to? The ones ive found have decent fps, but don't have good resolution and/or not in HD. I do some pretty wicked things in my cars and would love a pov video to show them off, plus i think pov on a RC anything is very...very cool! I may have to bite the bullet and pay around $200. [

George Takei Blog, a must read! in Politics GalCiv2 Forums

I follow George Takei in his blogs and general web presence and his blog today speaks of the American Internment camps during WW2 and his experiences in them. George is apart of a new musical that will try and tell the story of these camps, i'm disappointed only that i won't get to see the show here in Aus. For those that like George, it's a must, and for those that don't it's a very sombre look at a dark past, one that he speaks of from experience.

@Greg, thanks for link, i'll spend some time lurking on those forums for sure! As for pipe layout, no it's very smooth with no kinks or bends. Doc, thats a great idea! I can get my hands on a mechanics stethoscope! i'll try and replicate the noise again and then see if i can pinpoint the exact source. The intake pipe is higher than the outtake, but it feeds into the rad, which is situated lower than low coolant mark on the res. What i cannot see is how,

I'm a late comer to Bitdefender, but i can see myself staying with it for some time. Kaspersky i still think is a viable alternative, but it just got a little too resource heavy for me. (I'm anal about what processes and how many of them i have running). Bitdefender is cheaper than Kaz too! I got the Internet Security Suite for $31...love that Aussie exchange rate these days!!
