Im trying to password protect a web directory for a client. Someone mentioned using Access Control Lists but Im not sure where to begin. Any ideas?
Most car alarms I've seen are two types. One has a keypad where you have 30 seconds after entering the vehicle to enter the proper code. The other is the one you're describing, where you must use the remote from outside the car to avoid the alarm going off. In your case, you have a few options. 1) This may seem strange, but it works. If your problem is that the remote gets wet, put it in a Ziploc bag. This should protect it from shorting out the circuit inside with water, and you don't need to worry. 2) On the off chance that the battery in the remote runs out, you will have to use your key. The alarm will go off. It's OK. You can explain the situation to someone if they ask. What you need to check for is the valet switch. Check your manual for this, but I assume you know where it is and this is what you're referring to when you say disconnect the alarm. It's often in the glove box or near your knee under the steering wheel (off to the side on the wall near the stereo maybe?) Usually, you can put your key in the ignition, switch it to on (don't start the car, it's the setting right before start), then flip the valet switch. Your alarm will stop and you can then start and drive the car. If you want to set the alarm again, just flip the valet switch once more before turning the car off. Note that you can use this method anytime (or if using a Ziploc bag turns you off and the remote gets wet), just that the alarm going off all the time might get annoying. 3) You of course can disconnect the alarm, but you know that and that defeats the purpose of having one anyway.
If you are referring to a situation where you hit a pot hole or go over a speed bump and the car's suspension travels excessively due to bad shocks or struts, then the answer is, nothing hits the pavement. What you're feeling is the suspension going solid. On a normal car this will be the front or rear suspension hitting solid rubber bumpers. If the suspension bumpers are missing (broken off, etc.) then suspension may go truely solid (springs momentarily become a solid piece of metal as all the coils touch) hitting the frame or the car damaging the suspension and frame. Excessive suspension travel may cause exhaust impact on the suspension or drive line components too. Bottom line, it's bad and stuff's going to get damaged fast. More: If your car is making a scraping sound when exiting or entering a small hill, going from a flat road to a hilly driveway then the most likely areas are the front or rear bumper or fascia, an exhaust pipe/muffler or a under-carriage shield. The possible causes are a collapsing suspension (suspension springs broken or weakening) causing the car to ride lower to the ground, broken exhaust parts or hangers allowing the exhaust system to sit closer to the ground or a shield that is broken or has one or more retainers broken or missing. The simplest (after all this) is just to get someone to stand outside the car and look underneath while you slowly go up/down an area of road or driveway where this happens so they can see what area of your car seems to contact the road, but again, it's never a good thing when any part of a car touches the road other than the tires.
its usually the bumper, muffler at times too. if its a steep incline, your bumper can come off. but its only around $50-$100 to fix. mufflers are fine when they;re damaged, as long as exhaust still comes out of it, it should be fine.
