Wow! Someone who feels the same way I do. My building has two washers and two dryers for 25 units. People will sometimes leave things in there for HOURS. I wait 30 minutes and if no one removes their items, I take them out, whether they are men's or women's clothes. I usually grab a fresh...

I can't believe I just wasted five minutes of my Saturday watching that!:D

Seth- Actually Volvo sales are very high over the last decade. They sell better than Saab and Porsche according to industry reports. Until recently Volvos were more affordable than their German counterparts (with the exception of VW), but their popularity has increased there market price. I...

French Horn- I've been in orchestras, bands, brass choirs and ensembles. Just regret that the French horn isn't used in jazz much!

Volkswagon, Audi, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Land Rover, Rolls, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Masserati (the last few are not common but dealerships due exist, at least in the northeast). Those are all I can think of at the moment!

Peugeot also left the US market around the same time as the Alfas, and for practically the same reasons!

Fiat and Alfa Romeo have long since disappeared from the American market due to poor sales. They WERE very prone to problems and could not compete with the less expensive, more reliable Japanese models. That's why Fiat became known to stand for Fix It Again, Tony." I had a Fiat in the early...

I have had Verizon, Sprint, and now AT&T. I live and work in both Washington DC and NYC. My rankings of the three: 1.) AT&T- The most expensive, but you get what you pay for. No dropouts to date, and stongest signal in DC area. 2.) Sprint- Good prices, fairly good coverage, but occasional...

Not all cancers can be explained by one common cause. Some specific types have been related to a causitive agent, but this is nothing new. How long have we known that cigarette smoking causes lung cancer? That excess UV exposure causes skin cancer? Then there are hundreds of other theories...

Reverse the events of 9/11, no doubt.

The Powers That Be The Commish Both early 90's TV shows that didn't last too long that I really enjoyed.

Good choice Patrick. Volvos are great cars. I have an eight year old 1994 850 turbo sedan in black. The car has given me very minimal problems and still performs just as well now as it did when I first bought it. My parents had a 1985 760 turbo sedan that they only recently retired last year...

There is a reason most use a hard on/off button, and you mentioned it already Steve. It is done so that the when plugged into the outlet on the back of the receiver, the CD player goes on and off concurrently. Therefore, you need push the power button once for both components to come on. It...

I'm having problems also. Last night and this morning I have been unable to connect to their server.

I don't even though I am in the medical profession and am around sick people 24/7 because I got a flu shot. Even though it is only pushed for the young, elderly, and immunocompromised, anyone who works or lives in a crowded environment (and who doesn't) would benefit from a flu shot. They are...

I picked up the new Motorola V60 yesterday. I really like this phone. Including the stub antenna it is the same height as the 8260. It's slightly thinner but thicker. It weights slightly more too, but that's because of the construction. This is a sturdy, sleek phone. I like the brushed steel...

Scott- I had considered trading up for that Motorola even before your post, but after reading it I'm set on doing just that. It's quite an expensive phone, but as long as it's durable and gets good reception and sound it's worth the cost.

Well, they arrived yesterday and went up today, and WOW, what a difference. The sound is crisper and less muddled, with better differentiation of the treble range. I'm actually running them through the Bose accoustimass as I don't believe it filters out bass and as I'm too lazy to re-wire at the...

What do you think of this phone? I've had mine for one week. While I love the size and style, I've been having problems with background noise. There is a constant hiss when I use the phone normally, but if I use the earbud the sound is fine! Anyone else have similar problems? Even though I...

They do indeed. Here's a photo:

Long before I started visiting this forum in 1998, I had purchased a Bose Accoustimass 6 system for surround sound. I live in a small apartment and wanted to have a system that was discrete yet produced large sound. For that purpose, they have served me very well. I have upgraded practically...

Darren- Depending on your symptoms, the neurosurgeon may recommend a laminectomy and discectomy of the region. What spinal level are the discs and are you having any numbness/tingling anywhere? I have scrubbed in on many of these procedures in my medical school training. It involves an...

The Living Daylights and Octopussy were corrected and MGM sent free replacements postage paid. The corrected versions had *'s on either side of the title on the top label. I recall seeing numerous copies on store shelves.

The hormone is dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and it is made from testosterone with the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. Medications like Propecia inhibit this enzyme, hopefully leading to hair growth (or stopping hair loss). Interestingly, DHT is also a cause of BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) that...

Here's my dilemna: I have an RP-91 and love DVD-A. However, there are several SACDs I'd like to own as well so I'm interested in getting a Sony SACD player. The problem is my receiver only has one set of 5.1 inputs. Is there a switch box that will allow me to hook up two 5.1 output devices to a...

Has anybody tried this recoton antenna? http://www.recoton.com/products/antennas/3000.htm I am looking for an antenna that I can install outside my apartment window that won't annoy my neighbors. If this thing works, it might be a good alternative. ------------------ View My DVD Collection

Matt- That's incredible. I have the bow-tie Radio Shack antenna as well and I'm in NW DC and I can only get a few stations at a time, and not consistently. I must be too close to the radio transmitters. PS- Sorry about those Terps. ------------------ View My DVD Collection

When I bought my HDTV today the salesman told me Survivor is in HD and that the NCAA tournaments are not. Was he wrong? ------------------ View My DVD Collection

Thanks for the replies everyone. My unit should be delivered tomorrow and I'm planning on just using the antenna for HDTV reception. Since I went for the DST3000, I can always go for a dish later on. For now, I'll see what the free air waves can give me (although I'm a little annoyed to hear...

I've just about settled on the Toshiba 40H80 and DTS3000 HDTV Box. If I buy both before March 31st I'll get a $200 rebate from Toshiba. I have a few questions: 1.) The HDTV box says it works with DirectTV which I do not have. Can I still use this box to get HDTV in the Washington DC area? Can't...
