Scott, the referee (white hat) is in charge of the officiating of the game, including interpretation of rules, and therefore should be the one taking the responsibility of upholding/overturning calls on the field as the leader of the officiating crew.
I don't have a problem if there is someone...
I haven't posted much lately because about a month ago I got a new job. I spent the last 9 years being self-employed doing computer tech and consulting work. While the money wasn't great, especially during the recession do to a lack of clients, it left me plenty of time to be a stay at home dad...
We're looking to drop cable and save $1000/year. Between Netflix and the internet, there's plenty of content to watch, but I still need my live sports. So I'm looking to add an antenna and an ATSC tuner STB, or perhaps a tuner/DVR. We're not planning to stay in this house much longer, so an...
Wow. That had to be the most beautiful launch I have ever seen.
It was pre-dawn, so the trail was glowing from being backlit by the sun beyond the horizon. And after separation, the glow off the exhaust from the main engines was a ghostly white, looking like a very wide comet tail.
I wish I...

My wife's laptop of 6 years no longer powers up, so she's looking to replace it. She likes the size of a netbook, and for her uses, there won't be performance issues or screen-size issues. She even played around with some of them at Best Buy over the weekend just to be sure.
So, I'm looking for...
I've done only a few sales/purchases here on HTF, and I have an ebay feedback rating of 303 with 0 negatives. I got hit with a double whammy, finding out that my wife is pregnant with our second child and losing my biggest client all in the same week, so to pay some bills, some of the DVDs must...
I was flipping channels and saw on CNN that the Monte Carlo hotel in Las Vegas is on fire. Seems to be contained to the top floors, but it looks like it's spreading outward from the starting point. Lots of firy chunks are falling, causing it to spread to some lower floors and parts of the...
Last night, I had to park on the street because my cousin was visiting when I got home and took my spot in the driveway. This morning, I get a knock on my door. Turns out it's a police officer. Apparently, one of my tires was an inch and a half over the curb and on my neighbors grass. So he...
Well, I've been a dad for a week now, but this is the first chance I've had to post about it. Rachel Orli was born on Tuesday, January 30, 2007 at 11:38pm. She was a teeny tiny 4 lbs 13 oz., and 17.5 inches short. Even though she is small, she's a healthy, beautiful little girl. I've spent...
I am trying to find the source of this obscure sci-fi quote. I believe it is from a book. I have tried google using all sorts of search parameters and just can't find an aswer. “Mike, bless me father for I have thirst.” TIA for the help.
I am looking to find a camcorder, since we have a baby due in just under 2 months. So far, I have decided I want the following: 16x9 aspect ratio non-HD (to save some money) external microphone input Mini DV tapes Yes, I decided on tape over hard drive because when one is full, I don't...
The DVD set is in excellent condition. It was viewed exactly once and has since been untouched. I am asking for $22 shipped media mail. Paypal preferred, but I will accept checks or money orders. I have completed a few transactions here (Joe Kauffman), or you can look up my feedback rating on...
I bought a Mitsubishi WS-55313 55" WS RPTV today at Best Buy. Decided to do it because I had a 10% off coupon, all Mitsubishis were 2 years no interest AND I got the RewardZone points on it. Only $1890 (including tax, but not including other accessories I needed, like component cables) for the...

1010 AM is replaying the Super Bowl XXXVII Buccaneers radio broadcast from 3-6pm ET today. Those of you outside their broadcast range are SOL, because they don't have an Internet feed. I listened to the NFC Championship game against the Eagles yesterday. The Joe Jurevicious catch and Ronde...
Talk about a shock. I was called into my boss's office at 3pm this afternoon and told I was being let go. Apparently, the company of 5 was being downsized to 4 and I was the odd man out. No warning whatsoever.
Oh well. At least I get to sleep in tomorrow. I guess I'll be updating my resume...
What type of case did Disney use for TRON: SE. When I got my DVD in the mail, one of the tabs for each of the disc holders was broken off (fortunately no disc damage) and I want to replace the case.
The hyperlinks have incorrect URLs. The post links all have "domain/htforum/index.php/showthread.php?...". The "index.php" needs to be removed.
The user profile links in the "Last Poster" column have the same extra "index.php" problem too.
FYI, the page is too wide and I am viewing with a...
I just noticed the thumbs up and thumbs down "smilies" are using the same "tu" code letters. So no matter which one you click on, you get thumb's up. See?
:emoji_thumbsup: :emoji_thumbsup:
It's supposed to be a thumbs up then a thumbs down.
