    You could wipe a bit of silicon rtv over the open plug,

    It would be waterproof when set and is easily picked out with a small screwdriver if you ever wanted to reconnec

    Hi Brent,

    Thanks for the quick reply. So I don't have to worry about water getting into the exposed plug? Or should I just tape them up with electrical tape?

    I'm getting after market mirror glasses made by Schmiedmann group. I can get them for $99 for a pair and they are blue tint, heated aspheric types.

    Cheers,

    Derek

    Thats because a WOF can be fairly subjective and they check different things each time.

    you cant mix a directional/assymetrical with a standard either on the same axle

    cant you just swop one tyre to an equal speed/weight rating ,would cost less

    Ok guys so my old phone which was a htc touch hd was pissing me off no end with its lack of signal strength so I decided to upgrade phones. I bought a second hand (4 months old) 16gb iphone 3gs. I went for this because it was a fraction of the cost of an iphone 4

    First thoughts are hmmm ok not to bad but does lack some stuff I would have thought would have been pretty simple like being able to select mp3 ringtone for text's and not having to ssh into the phone or whatever and replace one of the 6 in there. By the way mine is jail broken and on the xt network and firmware 4.3.3 whatever that means.

    So i am new to all this iPhone thing and still learning how to drive it, can anybody recommend some cool apps to put on it. I have installed weatherboard is it for theme's , What is a cool theme that people use ??

    Any other cool tips or tricks on driving or adding to this thing would be most appreciated.

    themes go to cydia and browse themes selection, or search for lockscreens,sliders eg bmw, etc etc

    springtomise

    ringtones you can assign in the contacts app,text tones you need the tonefx 2.0 app which can assign different text tones to each contact or better still is the anyring app that lets you assign ring and text tones to individuals from the itunes library on the phone,any song you have on there and yoy can set the start and end point as well rather than just start at the beginning of the song

    sbsettings is a must

    iblacklist is cool

    sky app is a must for programming your mysky away from home

    install0us 4

    appcake

    Tlert is a must have for me view and reply to your txts without unlocking your phone

    ifunbox for your pc to transfer stuff in and out of phone

    ifile lets you use memory sticks etc

    tvout genie

    airview

    yourtube lets you save youtube clips

    Hmmm possibly not as the Saddam/Iraq war was something completely different than the Afghanistan/ Taliban / Tora Bora / Al Qaeda battles/bombing campaign.

    yea sorry was just pointing out that I don't believe much of that white house propoganda, :rolleyes:

    Just dont believe they didnt know where he was for 9 years and you have to ask since they know all taliban are trained in northern pakistan why have they never actively bombed,embargoed or even threatened Pakistan,

    perhaps its because of all the opium poppies that come thru there from afghan which the CIA use for funding

    oh and don't go on about the moon landing, :lol: just because I believe that theres more to jfk and 911 doesn't mean I support and defend every conspiracy out there,I do think they have proved themselves more than capable of making up or releasing false information to boost a campaign

    Google image "Osama's body"... looks like him... what's left of him.

    Now, I'm just gonna put it out there... Obama either has announced his bid for reelection, or is about to... I wonder how long Osama has been dead for? Just putting it out there :lol:

    hes been dead nine years, they just needed an excuse to be in someone else country,If you honestly believe they didnt know where he was and couldnt find him for 10 years you need your head read,

    funnily he was buried at sea basically immediately,how convenient,

    its just obama going full on into election mode,they need some good news fast

    "I think we can all agree this is a good day for America. Our country has kept its commitment to see that justice is done," Obama said at the White House.

    "The world is safer, it is a better place because of the death of Osama bin Laden,"

    Today, we are reminded that as a nation, there is nothing we can't do when we put our shoulders to the wheel, when we work together."

    Bin Laden

    Osama bin Laden, one of 20 sons of a billionaire construction magnate, arrived in Afghanistan to join the jihad in 1980. An austere religious fanatic and business tycoon, bin Laden specialised in recruiting, financing and training the estimated 35,000 non-Afghan mercenaries who joined the mujaheddin.

    The bin Laden family is a prominent pillar of the Saudi Arabian ruling class, with close personal, financial and political ties to that country's pro-US royal family.

    Bin Laden senior was appointed Saudi Arabia's minister of public works as a favour by King Faisal. The new minister awarded his own construction companies lucrative contracts to rebuild Islam's holiest mosques in Mecca and Medina. In the process, the bin Laden family company in 1966 became the world's largest private construction company.

    Osama bin Laden's father died in 1968. Until 1994, he had access to the dividends from this ill-gotten business empire.

    (Bin Laden junior's oft-quoted personal fortune of US$200-300 million has been arrived at by the US State Department by dividing today's value of the bin Laden family net worth — estimated to be US$5 billion — by the number of bin Laden senior's sons. A fact rarely mentioned is that in 1994 the bin Laden family disowned Osama and took control of his share.)

    Osama's military and business adventures in Afghanistan had the blessing of the bin Laden dynasty and the reactionary Saudi Arabian regime. His close working relationship with MAK also meant that the CIA was fully aware of his activities.

    Milt Bearden, the CIA's station chief in Pakistan from 1986 to 1989, admitted to the January 24, 2000, New Yorker that while he never personally met bin Laden, "Did I know that he was out there? Yes, I did ... [Guys like] bin Laden were bringing $20-$25 million a month from other Saudis and Gulf Arabs to underwrite the war. And that is a lot of money. It's an extra $200-$300 million a year. And this is what bin Laden did."

    In 1986, bin Laden brought heavy construction equipment from Saudi Arabia to Afghanistan. Using his extensive knowledge of construction techniques (he has a degree in civil engineering), he built "training camps", some dug deep into the sides of mountains, and built roads to reach them.

    These camps, now dubbed "terrorist universities" by Washington, were built in collaboration with the ISI and the CIA. The Afghan contra fighters, including the tens of thousands of mercenaries recruited and paid for by bin Laden, were armed by the CIA. Pakistan, the US and Britain provided military trainers.

    Tom Carew, a former British SAS soldier who secretly fought for the mujaheddin told the August 13, 2000, British Observer, "The Americans were keen to teach the Afghans the techniques of urban terrorism — car bombing and so on — so that they could strike at the Russians in major towns ... Many of them are now using their knowledge and expertise to wage war on everything they hate."

    Al Qaeda (the Base), bin Laden's organisation, was established in 1987-88 to run the camps and other business enterprises. It is a tightly-run capitalist holding company — albeit one that integrates the operations of a mercenary force and related logistical services with "legitimate" business operations.

    Bin Laden has simply continued to do the job he was asked to do in Afghanistan during the 1980s — fund, feed and train mercenaries. All that has changed is his primary customer. Then it was the ISI and, behind the scenes, the CIA. Today, his services are utilised primarily by the reactionary Taliban regime.

    Bin Laden only became a "terrorist" in US eyes when he fell out with the Saudi royal family over its decision to allow more than 540,000 US troops to be stationed on Saudi soil following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait.

    When thousands of US troops remained in Saudi Arabia after the end of the Gulf War, bin Laden's anger turned to outright opposition. He declared that Saudi Arabia and other regimes — such as Egypt — in the Middle East were puppets of the US, just as the PDPA government of Afghanistan had been a puppet of the Soviet Union.

    He called for the overthrow of these client regimes and declared it the duty of all Muslims to drive the US out of the Gulf states. In 1994, he was stripped of his Saudi citizenship and forced to leave the country. His assets there were frozen.

    After a period in Sudan, he returned to Afghanistan in May 1996. He refurbished the camps he had helped build during the Afghan war and offered the facilities and services — and thousands of his mercenaries — to the Taliban, which took power that September.

    Today, bin Laden's private army of non-Afghan religious fanatics is a key prop of the Taliban regime.

    Has anyone tried using a wireless router to stream music from iPod/iPhone and Apple laptops through their stereo systems via exposing some RCA leads in the trunk? I suggest an Apple Airport Express because: it is compact; can use airplay to stream music from iPhones, etc.; uses wireless N.

    Pros: No need for wires for connections; multiple devices can be connected; could be expanded to provide a fully fledged media server

    Cons: Need an inverter; doesn't charge iPhones, etc., relatively expensive.

    Any thoughts/comments?

    Just buy a jvc or similar headunit with bluetooth adap streaming built in
