    The cure for AIDS?

    I watched something on PBS today about research that was done in a small town called Eyam where alot of people didn't get the plague even though everyone else around them did. Their research led to some interesting discoveries which also pertain to HIV and AIDS. Here's a link to the story

    is it really necessary to seal tile grout right away?

    Ted, I'm certainly not any kind of expert, but have bought two brand new homes in the last 4 years and have honestly never heard of such a thing. My tile has consisted solely of floor tile in bathrooms though. How do you apply it? Spread it over the whole area and then wipe off the surface of...

    Signing the back of a credit card...double-edged sword?

    I get pissed as hell at cashiers who ask to see my ID. Part of my agreement with my credit card is that I sign the back and the store accepts it. That simple. Asking for ID is as bad as those stores that want your phone number when you buy something like Radio Shack used to do. I'm not worried...

    I'm looking for some advice on improving my hard drive setup

    Wow, the only reason I even mentioned ME was to demonstrate that it sucked and I had to load 98 to have a computer that worked, but may have gone back and forth a time or two which made me think it would be a good idea to do a reinstall of XP when I ran into problems formatting the new hard...

    I'm looking for some advice on improving my hard drive setup

    To start with this computer is close to 4 years old but suits my needs perfectly, put it together myself. So it's not the newest thing. A year or so ago I wanted to add a hard drive to my computer that was running windows XP pro. My original 20 gig HD had been converted from fat32 to NTFS when I...

    Supposedly terrific movies that just didn't do it for you... and why.

    The Fifth Element I tried watching with this with some of my friends and we are all about the same age (mid to late 20's). Not one of us could find anything even halfway decent in this film. I still get andgry to this day whenever I see the title or think of that horrendous experience. And...

    Any golfers in the house? I have a question...

    I had a 10 degree driver and had the chance to try a 7.5 degree one. A few years I tried an 8 degree and just couldn't get it anywhere near the fairway. The 7.5 degree is a Great big bertha titanium that I was getting a great deal on so I took it. I hit it much better and straighter than my old...

    Cold War essay help

    Maybe it's just me, or the way I read the question or the outline, but make sure you focus on how these critical periods shaped domestic and foreign policies of the United states. And maybe not just governing policies, but also some bit on how the public's attitude during the cold war helped...

    Just got new Sunfire Cinema Grand Sig

    It didn't replace anything, I added the amp and now use my Denon 4800 as a preamp only and use the Sunfire to power my studio 100's, 20's and center. And it sounds wonderful, I am very happy with it.

    Just got new Sunfire Cinema Grand Sig

    I got a flier in the paper from Ultimate electronics and I saw they advertised Sunfire amps. I had been looking for a little while and the Sunfire was on my list so I figured I would go listen. I got there and all they had was one Cinema Grand Signature series 2. I figured they normally go for...

    Any over the counter that gets rid of zitts?

    I can vouch for SteveA's accutane story. I was a teenager and had what they called cystic acne, basically cysts that start pretty deep and can't really be taken care of with anything, since the problem is deep, topicals didn't work for me and antibiotics just couldn't do the job. I went to a...

    Should I get into HTPC with current setup?

    Thanks Max. The reason I was really asking was because it looks like With a HTPC you can do 540p. Which I was thinking would be better than 480p. Maybe this isn't necessarily the case though.

    Weird water restrictions in NJ?

    Jay H, did you know that it can take up to a year for a clear coat finish to set up on a new car. You really don't want to do any polishing or waxing on a car with a clear coat for at least that long. i don't know if your car has a clear coat or not, but it is something to think about. Some...

    I Just Test Drove The New Cadillac CTS 5-Speed!

    I have had one for about 3 months now. It is an automatic though. I just love it. The road where I live are pretty curvy and it just sticks to the road around turns. I got the luxury sport with the stabilitrak and navigation system and I would say if you are going to get one, get it loaded...

    IGN Reviews Snow Dogs....The Question Is, Why?

    All I want to say is that when I got into this about 2 years it didn't seem this bad. I am almost ready to throw away my widescreen HDTV, dvd player and everything else I own and go find a 13" blac and white with rabbit ears. All of these sites out there even reviewing these films is...

    Ways to save the Post Office money

    What I don't like is how they spend millions of dollars on advertising and sponsorships, like the USPS bike team. What the hell is that about. You are there to deliver mail, not sponsor a bike team. And do they really need to advertise as much as they do? Is there really someone out there...

    Was almost killed this morning (This is no joke)

    I agree 100% rich. I almost had an accident yesterday because some idiot, who had to have seen me, made a left turn onto a 4 lane road into the furthest lane, which I was in. I had to go to the shoulder, luckily there was one, to avoid this moron. And the road was completely empty, I don't...

    Sorry if I may be a bit of a minority opinion here but, what the hell are you doing worrying about every class and grade you got in college? I just graduated in '99 and couldn't tell you what grades I got in a class. But, I sure could tell you some great stories about all the wonderful people...
