The model is Motorola dch3416. I had a problem with it which caused me to return the first one I got. BTW You can pick them up from the local Comcast office. We have one here in Exeter on Epping road. It looks like my bill went up from 137 to 151. Seems higher than they quoted me. Anyways back to the problem. The remote would work intermittently and I couldn't figure out why so as I was preparing for the second unit to be sent back and I decided I should bring a small tv with me to check out the units at the Comcast office. So I hooked it up and it worked. Weird. So I put it back where it is permanently on the bookshelf. After playing around for a while I found that the remote sensor was "seeing" the plasma tv mounted above the fireplace. So I put a sticky note on the dvr so the line of site from the tv to the dvr was blocked. Now it works fine. I guess the plasma tv is giving off IR pulses that confuse the dvr. The tv and dvr are at right angles to each other. The plasma is over the fireplace and the dvr is on the side in a built in bookshelf.]]> electronics http://www.bobsbits.net/hireabob/sphpblog/index.php?entry=entry081117-094637 Bob Davis Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:46:37 GMT http://www.bobsbits.net/hireabob/sphpblog/comments.php?y=08&m=11&entry=entry081117-094637 http://www.bobsbits.net/hireabob/sphpblog/index.php?entry=entry081110-160820 ]]> energy http://www.bobsbits.net/hireabob/sphpblog/index.php?entry=entry081110-160820 Bob Davis Mon, 10 Nov 2008 21:08:20 GMT http://www.bobsbits.net/hireabob/sphpblog/comments.php?y=08&m=11&entry=entry081110-160820 http://www.bobsbits.net/hireabob/sphpblog/index.php?entry=entry081110-152104
2. If he is going to give money to gm/ford then he should make sure it is used to make cars that get over 50 mpg.

3. He should cut spending. After all it was one of his campaign promises. But he should not do it while the economy is struggling. Basically government spending is one way the government gets us out of a recession.

Just read an article about dean kamen and he has made a stirling powered electric hybrid. This was one of my ideas!! stirling powered car ]]> energy http://www.bobsbits.net/hireabob/sphpblog/index.php?entry=entry081110-152104 Bob Davis Mon, 10 Nov 2008 20:21:04 GMT http://www.bobsbits.net/hireabob/sphpblog/comments.php?y=08&m=11&entry=entry081110-152104 http://www.bobsbits.net/hireabob/sphpblog/index.php?entry=entry081101-093928 kayaking/boating http://www.bobsbits.net/hireabob/sphpblog/index.php?entry=entry081101-093928 Bob Davis Sat, 01 Nov 2008 13:39:28 GMT http://www.bobsbits.net/hireabob/sphpblog/comments.php?y=08&m=11&entry=entry081101-093928 http://www.bobsbits.net/hireabob/sphpblog/index.php?entry=entry081030-153430

The current housing slow down is no worse than the last 2. The difference is that banks have loaned money that they didn't have. The used these unregulated "credit default swap" 's to theoretically guarantee that they would have money if somebody defaulted. If it was a regular insurance company they would have been forced to have the money in reserve. Instead these funds were unregulated and dishonest people traded these hedge funds knowing they wouldn't have the money if things failed.

So basically yes americans have once again overextended themselves and defaulted on some mortgages. This is not new. We do this in well predicted cycles. So we (the working little people) share the blame for starting this down turn. But the big wigs(people who earn money by gambling on the stock market) have made this the 700 billion "crisis" it is.

If we could make everybody who made a profit on these hedge funds(and some made 40% return per year) should be the ones who have to give back the profits to bail out the banks. But everybody shakes there head at that point and says that will never happen. So we have sales taxes for material goods. Why not a sales tax for gambling in the stock market. The stock trader who buys a company's stock for the long term because he thinks the company makes a good product will only pay this tax once when he sells it. The day traders will be pissed off and I think thats probably good for the market. Add a little stability to something that is already to volatile.

Well what do you think?
Add a comment.

Lesson learned.

I had previously found that my biodiesel is solid at 40deg F. Since the fuel filter clogging I have found it solid at 45 deg F. What kind of biodiesel gells at 45F or higher?
