HP ZV5000 XP SP3 causes reboot fix

OK. You install XP SP3 on your AMD HP ZV5000 and now the POS is in a reboot loop.

Fix:

Install windows, install drivers including chipset, cpu drivers, etc from the HP/ Support page. Then do Windows Update "Custom" and install all critical updates except for SP3. Once all critical updates are installed allow Windows Update to install SP3.

One of those updates is a patch to fix the SP3 issue. Worked for me.

UPS efficiency defined in 6,000 mile trip

Look at the route UPS took to deliver my package (actually not delivered yet). It looks more like a drunk retired hippy in his Winnebago doing a cross country road trip than an efficient Billion dollar company. No left turn UPS, yea right.

98 F150 4x4 front cv dust seal

If you need to replace the dust seal on a 98 f150 4x4 CV to spline area it is Motorcraft part number BRS54

Don't bother with NAPA, AutoZone, Advance Auto, they spent hours trying to figure out if they had the seal. I found it at a Parts Plus store for $18 f-ing dollars.

The part number on the seal is F65w-1N013-AA

Motorcraft.com has this info:

Front Wheel Seal UNDER 8500 GVW

WHEEL HUB DUST SEAL 2.933 ID X 3.539 OD X 0.65 THICK INNER

Cool hidden fire hose for your house

I stumbled upon a cool hidden fire hose for your home while browsing Ebay.

A painting drops down and a fire hose is pulled out and you can fight a fire using water pressure from your home.

The hidden fire cabinet also contains an extinguisher for fighting fires that should not be fought with water.

32 GB flash drives within a year.

As seen on Extremetech

SAN JOSE, Calif.—Flash memory continues to evolve quickly and grow more usable. The solid-state, rewritable silicon memory chips, which hold content without requiring power, are mostly known as gadgets the size of packs of gum that plug into computers' USB ports to add extra storage. But thanks to recent fabrication breakthroughs, they have become much more versatile in a relatively short period of time.

Consumers also can expect to see the first 32GB, three-quarter-inch-thick flash-based laptops in the Western and European markets within a year. Samsung previewed its first flash-driven laptop at the CeBIT conference in Hanover, Germany, in March 2006, and launched the first batch of consumer units—dubbed "Origami"—in May in Japan and Korea.
