    Circuit City In Trouble

    How many people have visited CC, BB, Tweeter, CompU etc for the sole purpose of "auditioning" a product and then proceeded to purchase their selection from a mailorder or internet seller to save a few $. I know I am guilty. I suspect 99.9% of the readers of this site have done something...

    AntiVirus

    Tsk Tsk Tsk. No firewall? No antivirus? As soon as your computer opens a port to the 'net, your computer can be pinged and will download something ugly. Hence the reason for a firewall. This is from the voice of experience. While doing a re-install on windows XP prior to SP2...

    Ebay scammer gets hammered by Judge Judy

    I wish JJ still had real judge powers. The capacity to issue a bench warrant to appear before her court. Call up her DA friends and request a grand jury be convened. To be able to refer the evidence (and SSN's etc) to other courts (and to Uncle IRa Smith). Whatever powers being a real judge...

    sucks to require 25 posts to sell/buy something

    It should be x number of posts versus y days of membership. ( in other words, make ya actually do something before you can financially benefit.) But that would require somebody to actually compute the value of you as a member on the site which sounds like a lot of work. So take the...

    8 track tape players - have you seen what the market is - Why ?

    Absolutely great answer. It brought back memories of yesteryear. My high school years. At night. That big Chevy. Wonderful backseat. Those crappy Jensen speakers in the rear deck cranking as hard as they could. Old Mary what-is-her-name jumping into the front seat to fix the tape. Yes...

    Enter to Win: $1000 off Axiom Order!

    I consider my level of knowledge very basic. Ok, maybe a step or two above basic, as I can find my butt without having to have my hands tied behind my back. Seriously, I need the owners manual and maybe even a huge chart to be able to figure out how to hookup my receiver etc. The real...

    power conditioners

    The few people that acutally NEED a power conditioner are few and far between, and the need is due to the extremely poor power supply at their location, and as such, even the power conditioner may not be sufficient to really solve their problems. Just remember, everybody needs a surge...

    Some Schools Are Leaving Recess Behind

    When I was in school, reccess for the kids was also known as "teacher break". We kids would run and play while be watched by a revolving group of teachers, while their fellow teachers had their own little break. Teachers had a chance to socialize, while the students developed social skills...

    How does he get away with this?

    His sharks, oops I mean lawyers, share some DNA in common with his own parentage. Then again, do sharks and magots really have much DNA in common?

    need a favor from someone in the states

    Contact ESPN and the schools playing in the tourney. There should be legal channels for copies of the tourney to be sold to you and/or your school. (logically some legal source of the tourny must exist for you, how else could a coach from one school view the tapes of the competition for...

    Effin' Neighbors Burglar Alarm

    The repeated alarms are not due to calibration. How do I know? I have business that is wired with a couple bushel baskets of motion (IR), noise (broken glass) and magnetic contact (door) sensors that suffer from repeated false alarms. If the problem was calibration, the alarm promptly...

    went to hong kong over the weekend

    I have a friend that picked up some of those $1 DVD's just last fall and swears they are as good as the real ones, and he was buying current run movies that yet to be released in the USA on DVD. The US Customs guys must agree with his opinion about the quality because they confiscated his...

    Japan vs. China/Malaysia

    Quality control is a learning curve issue similar to manufacturing speed. The first one I make will be slow to make and generally of poor quality. The second one I make will take slightly less time to make and will still be of poor quality. With each unit made the time to make will shrink...
