It'd be one thing if it was just bs. Can't really go for that. Rather it's that it went beyond BS to effectively defrauding people.

I have twice actually. Once for a front pipe that I was told I would be getting it shipped out at the end of the week each time I talked to him. Took a month but got my money.

2nd time was a deal between him and whiteline and that took 6 months.

multi threaded programming is the future of programming in general.. since we've really reached the limit of processing power of a single core, we're forced to move to multi threaded, multi core.

even in a professional environment that I work with some of the most used business software in the world, I see tons of stuff that lack multithreading. it's sad.

fwiw, I really enjoyed writing mutli threading in c rather than java. yes, java has semaphore libraries that make it easier, but I always found it easier to manage when you were using hard mutex locks and unlocks in c





guys I really miss programming in C

i keep trying to find a project that'll give me a reason to get back into it, but with the ever-increasing march towards higher-level everything it's hard to find these days.

On a side note James, adw is selling their AWD dyno. 40,000 and it's yours.

Who is adw? $40k for a used Mustang AWD dyno isn't neccessarily that great of a deal depending on which model and what all is included. I found Mustang Dyno's sales people to be very willing to deal on new models.

i'm looking for an md-150 specifically. i can definitely get one for less than that .

That sounds like a pretty decent deal then. I know it would have been very high on our list last year. Where did you see this posted?

I bet you wrote different shop meaning AWD is not the shop that sells FA20club kit (because I understood the same)

But when I read KAB response and read back, @SmsAlSuwaidi meant Dan@AWD the one who is selling his personal FA20clubkit
