I have a family member that is about to graduate from HS and is having a tough time deciding in a career path. He feels that he needs to make a fairly firm decision soon so he can decide which college to attend. He is debating petroleum engineeering or some sort of medical profession...

I'm in the market for a new plasma or LCD tv for my living room. Due to limited wall space, I cant go much larger than a 42", but I want to stay with something around that size. I don't think I have a preference between LCD and Plasma, but I can't say im very familiar with the performance...

I've had my 360 since launch day and at first the windows media connect feature worked. A few days later it quit working entirely and hasnt worked since. I'm configured on a wireless network, but xbox live works fine so im convinced it is something wrong with my pc settings. I have a linksys...

I just bought a denon dvd-1910 and I have noticed that sometimes the blacks almost look purple. I dont know if thats a very good description or not but im not sure how to explain it.

I'm still continuing to piece together my HT and now i've come to the tower speakers. I have a large room about 25x30x10, and am having trouble deciding between the 35's and 5's. I am powering the mains with a yamaha rx-v1500. I am figuring that the main difference between the two models is bass...

I'm looking for an outdoor receiver to power my outdoor pool speakers.

I have a 2001 chevrolet silverado z-71 extended cab without onstar and has a completely stock audio system. I will eventually replace everything but need your advice on what to start with first. I'm thinking about putting a sub in first. I will most likely only want one sub since I dont want to...

I have heard that lots of people use bookshelves as there surrounds, but I dont know if this would be better than running actual surround speakers? Are there any pros/cons about either set-up? I can setup the rs-35's even with seating position so they can use the wide dispersion feature.

I have a Hitachi 57uwx20b rear projection tv and I have noticed lately that it seems to have a faint but high pitched buzz or squealing sound. It only happens when it is turned on(makes sense). Is this a problem with the tv or could it be my surge protector?

I just bought some klipsch HS1 outdoor speakers to put on my patio by the pool and they say 60 watts continous on the back. I'm looking into running these off of a yamaha rx-v1500. These would be hooked up on the zone 2, but what is the power rating for zone 2?

I just got my first truck and as with most high school kids you have to put a system in it. I'm not interested in anything really expensive and top of the line, just some mid line stuff that sounds good. I have a 2001 chevrolet z-71 extended cab with four doors. I have a few begginer questions...

I dont know much about cameras, but my mom needs a new one and I'm doing some research for her. We are definitely going digital, she wants at least 5-6 megapixels, flash storage,under $1000, and something fairly lightweight. a decent zoom would be nice also. I've been interested in the canon...

I have a school project coming up where you have to invent something, make a model of it, and draw a 2D and 3D drawing of it from all sides.

I'm looking into getting a new printer for my house, but I dont know much about color lasers. I want a good,reliable printer thats not overly gigantic( I realize they are all pretty big). If possible I would like to keep the price under $1000. Are the konica minoltas any good?

I'm looking into getting my first reciever but I have a few concerns with the number of component inputs. I like the yamaha rx-v1400/1500 recievers. I have an xbox with monster component cables, but to use surround you need the optical cable. Do I have to run my component cables to the reciever...

I've recently noticed that sometimes when I put my contacts in I start seeing these flashing lights. ( no I am not crazy) It looks like the little lights from tinkerbells wand flashing around. It also occurs in bright sunlight sometimes. Is there some sort of problem with my eyes or can this be...

Please help fast! my project is due tomorrow but I have problems with it when it is put on a cd. It is a small vegas presentation( 187mb), with still pictures and text.

I have been debating whether to get the klipsch rf-25's or rf-35 mains, and I finally got to audition them side by side at Ultimate electronics. I liked the sound of the rf-35's better( I guess the bass was better and they sounded more forward), but the 25's sounded good too. I felt that the...

I have a 2001 z-71 extended cab shortbed, I have had the bug to try to make it look cooler. I want to do some kind of lift, but dont want to pay 1000 bucks for a lift kit. I was wondering if possibly upgrading to a larger tire such as the firestone destination MT would make it look better? I...

I'm currently building a pool in my backyard and I am starting to look for outdoor speakers. I'm a big klipsch fan so i was looking at the sa-1 or sa-2 models. What kind of distance projection could I expect from those models and how do they hold up? I'm also interested in the rockustics garden...

I have always wondered about this. Do companies that want to advertise go directly to the Cable or satellite station to advertise, or do they advertise through each channel(abc,nbc,tbs,ect.)? couldnt cable companies refuse to advertise directv,voom, and other sources of sattelite TV, and vice...

I'm getting ready to make my first reciever purchase and I cant decide between these 2 models. I know the 1400 has 10 more watts per channel, and as far as I can see thats about it between the two besides the $100-150 price difference. I'm going to be using klipsch speakers, from what I hear...

I have a launch xbox and I think the drive is going. I get quite alot of dirty disk errors and most of my games arent very scratched. They usually occur when a game is loading. My drive also revs real high, then slows down, then revs, and so on. This really doesnt happen on hard loading points...
