I have always had a theory about how to cure AIDS, and I suppose now is the time to show my ignorance to the masses and propose it: The virus is extremely fragile outside of the body. My best guess is a lifespan of about 30 seconds at room temperature. Without a constant thermal temperature...

Too many times I get inquiries from people about what kind of music do/can I play. Whether I am about to audition for a band who needs a guitarist and they want to hear a small sample of my catalog, or someone at work or various other places that just found out that I play and want to hear me...

Let me just say this, I haven't dealt with Dell so I cannot speak of their practices, but I have owned every other major computer over the years and I have had experiences that ranged from inadequate thieves to Break-their-backs-to-keep-the-customer-happy-borderline-psychotics about great...

I agree that Bean is due for some serious recognition, perhaps even an Academy Award for some of his performances. I agree with everyone here and I have ALWAYS thought he was highly underated as an actor. He MADE Patriot Games. My favorite scenes in Ronin all contain Bean. His bond villian is BY...

Nevermind.

Cigar smoke is intended to be brought into your mouth where it sits on your pallette then blown out without ever being inhaled. You get the 'high' when the drug enters your saliva glands and is processed throughout your body from your mouth as opposed to your lungs. A cigar smoked properly...

You idjitz! There is only one band name on the Home Theater Forum: Silica-n-Salsa Have we taught you nothin'? :D

My younger brother works in the local movie theater at our mall. He saw the manager tossing a stack of DTS disks (the ones that acompany the film canisters when the movies come in). When my brother asked him why he was throwing them away, he said, "because they were garbage. DTS disks are the...

For me, sauce is the focal point. The sauce that I use for pizza is about the same as I use for my other Italian dishes with only a few mild changes as needed for the situation. Here's my perfect pizza sauce (I make in bulk): Sautee one large onion and at least 2 red bell peppers (sliced...

I suppose that since I expect any evidence to be able to survive close scrutiny and pass the test of credibility I would be labeled a 'conspiracy nut'. I dispute that tag. I merely am in pursuit of the truth. Being someone immersed in the field of Science, I have always held that assumptions...

Very high quality, professional photographs. This coming from a photographer. Either your meter reads bang on or you have mastered the art of aperture/shutter speed. Very good balance and composition. I wouldn't be surprised if this was your livelihood. I'd like to see some of your landscapes...

You know, I can't help but feel somewhat responsible for this thread. :frowning: I feel like Star Wars Kid, only without the sword-weilding talent and noteriety. Chris

Theoretically you can achieve the same results as in the video with piano wire in place of the sword. A tornado can drive pine straw through a metal pipe. Show me a guy weilding a sword and splitting the bullet (and still not being killed by one of the split fragments), then I am impressed.

I waited until I knew he would be at work, then called his house and left a messege telling him he should have known better than to buy speakers out of a van. As I recall he did get his money back. He can be pretty persuasive when he has to be. [:D]

About 3 years ago I received the following voice mail(s) on my answering machine from a friend of mine who was suckered: Call 1: "Hey Dude! Where the fuck are you? I got a couple of guys out here at Circuit City in a van trying to sell off some overstock speakers. Their boss loaded too many...

10 year old or better Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, Balvenie, Macallen, or Glenmorangie. Anything in that neighborhood would be a wonderful gift. These are all single malts. Scotch is an acquired taste to begin with so it can be tough to select a good brand. Scotch drinkers can be pretty...

I'm thinking more and more about this beautiful Paul Reed Smith Custom 22 on their site. Does anyone have any experience with this guitar? What are your thoughts on this rather expensive piece of equipment? Thanks, Chris

Actually, a bullet fired from a gun typically continues to accelerate long after it has left the barrel. What you have is a bullet riding the force of an explosion focused in a precise direction. Because most rounds for most firearms (rifles mainly) are actually slightly larger in diameter than...

I own a silenced Ruger .22 (License stamp and paperwork for the silencer cost more than the gun itself) and I can tell you that when I fire it, it is actually quieter than an air pistol not unlike the ones you find in any Walmart. In fact, as noted above, the only sound you hear is the clacking...

Precisely!

Is there a single place on the web that will give you everything you need to understand the game. I know all of the basics and am familiar with a good deal of terms and dynamics of the game, but I am looking to better understand the plays themselves and the science behind knowing what defense to...
