OK, our company assign each one of us an IP address. One day while being on the web, I got a message saying that some other computer is using the same IP address. Checking whether that's possible, I went to the computer next to me and enter its IP address as mine and it's fine so I know it's...

I'll be on a business trip next week at the conventional center (Palais des Congres) in downtown Montreal. I never been there, don't understand or speak French so here are some questions that I hope some of you can help me with: 1. I plan to take a cab from Montreal/Dorv airport to the area...

So a wheel alignment cost $140 and suppose to keep my $40/tire from wearing down? I've always been skeptical of this service since I rotate my tires. I keep on wondering that there got to be more. What's the story. The cost don't add up and the service guy always have an attitude when I reject...

I'm planning on having an outdoor train set but don't know much about it at this point . Does anyone have good and bad experiences or hits and misses that they like to share? I have set aside my side yard for it. It's 8ft by up to 70ft. Because I haven't look too much into it yet, I don't know...

Well, I've finished reading lord of the rings and got through the names the best that I could, sounding them out the way it's spelled. But everytime when having a discussion with someone, names come up and they pronounce it differently. First off, I'm not good with pronunciation of names as is...

I have a 43RPTV as my main and looking get a secondary tv for my room to replace a really old one. I'm looking to spend about 1,000-1,300. Size > 25in? Flexible on that. Any recommendations? Wega the way to go?

Well, after asking a lot of questions here and reading many of the posts from the past, I'm one VCR away from replacing all regular VCR with SVHS. I now have a JVC 7800 and a JVC 5911 My main use for them is to record from SAT TV. I've asked about how you guys connect your SVHS with all your...

I saw a S-Video distributor at radio shack for $40 and was wondering if anyone have one of these. It has one S-video in ( it'll be for the SAT receiver) and 3 outs (one will be to the RPTV and the other to SVHS). It's not a switcher and distribute the signal and amplifies it I suppose. I like to...

This is really a tough call. In general, the people I've spoken to in the bay area don't buy earthquake insurance simply because it's expensive. The offer is $550 annual premium, which is the same as my home owner insurance. To be honest, I don't think it's all that expensive considering what...

I really enjoyed this movie. So much that I need more. With Fight Club, I had a hard time sitting through a lot of the uninteresting fight and violence and when I learned the truth (watching it while doing chores), I wish I would have sat through it. Too late. Open Your Eyes was...

In recent years, we're seeing more and more teasers and trailers with rock songs, R&B or just pop songs instead of film score music. Is this what people really prefer? Not me and in fact have turned away many movies because I thought it's just a mindless rock video made for teenagers...

Urggggggg.... they must have put those in during manufactoring of the case. The case being transparent and the security tage being black, I couldn't stand it so I slipped my index finger in and tried to ply it out. I succceeded eventually but my nail was in pain and the case is popped open with...

So after reading all the SVHS thread, I plunged into buying one. I mainly use it to record from SAT TV. I have 3 VCRs in three different room and wanted to replace all of them with SVHS. Then when I started connecting it, I realized the problem I would have if I want to replace all of them...

So one day I was in that section testing right? My title is simply "testing" or something like that, but yet I get like 25 people who read it. Other threads there get much more. It all depends on the title and who post it. So I ask you, with so many sections and so many things to do and read in...

If you're a sensitive person, then you probably don't have enemies. People like you because you care, respect their feelings and lifestyle and listen to them when they speak. You probably have no probably getting girls unless you're just weird in some other ways or just sentitive to the point...

I've already seen the movie when it came out but my brother hasn't. He took a hold of my DVD and looked at the chapter selection. I noticed something in one of the chapter name and immediately grabbed it from him. I believe it was for chapter 12, completely revealed the ending. Boy, that was...

Hey, how do you frame puzzle. I have a 3,000 piece puzzle ready for framing. Do you glue the puzzle on cardboard? How is it done? Thanks in advance.

I like to see anyone top this one: College, human nutrition course. Our assignment was to collect all our urine over a 24hr period to analyze in the lab for vit C and other nutrients. We all walked around campus with 2 gallon container of our urine and fill it each time we have to go. People...

I have a leopard tortoise with a beautiful shell. The poor gal died last week and we buried her in our backyard. One day I would like to dig the shell up when it has completely decayed. Does any one has any experience with decaying things? I know it all sounds weird but I sure like to recover...

For some reason, I'm a magnet and always end up behind someone who write checks. Now we all write checks but these people do it for ridiculous amount. It takes forever to write a check and ofcourse, they always wait until the amount is given before they dig into their pockets or purses to get...

Two year old house and between 8-24 months, a few crack lines show up in some area. There are 3, two of which are no thicker than two nickels but one is about a quarter of an inch. They're not long, end at corners or edge of the window frame. The builder won't fix it because it's normal they say...

My wife and I combined commute per day is over four hours, 200mi, so freeway, traffic, accidents are part of life for us and for most commuters in the bay area. My question is who do you call when you have an accident. I would call 911 if it's a life and death situation but what if it's just a...

No problem with official review thread because you only hear from people who have seen the movie but discussion thread is a different matter. Take the Episode II discussion thread as an example, the movie hasn't been released yet and there's over 80 pages. Once I and other people have seen the...

OK, I have two large land tortoises in a wood housing. Right now, we're using heating lamps and ceramic heater to provide warmth. I time regulate these lamps with one of those timer power plug. It would be nice if there's a plug or device that I can plug these heating lamps to that will regulate...

I'm a Panasonic DVD player fan and owned 3 Pan players before I bought the RP56 because it has progressive scan. Then when I was doing the connection, I realize I no longer have the choice between the coaxial or the digital connection. So dawn it, I had to go out and spend an extra $30. What...

I have this RPTV for a year now. Here's the best way I can describe the problem: There's distortion on the right side of the screen. If the tv were to display horizontal lines, you would see the horizontal lines near the bottom of the screen dipping down at about the last 1/2 inch of the...

OK, beauty isn't everything but in the film industry, it's great importance. That being said, I never thought a body like Monica Bellucci is possible. I can't think of any stars who come even close. Her face is great beauty. You can debate there's a more beautiful face out there but you can't...

Can someone explain this to me. My wife and I are taking my mother's name off the title. We have already been told that the house don't need to be reassessed by the county office because she's our mother. Now, what does it means to reassess? Why do they do it and how? I assume they get the...

Of course I don't mean to get you guys all started again with retaliation ideas (other thread got closed because of that), but because some of you really wanted to help, I thought I would update you on what happened thus far. When the sign was up for the first day (it reads "Please pick up...

Well, the bottom line is that there are some foreign movies that I like to purchase from England that's not available in the US. They are VHS in PAL format. What are my options? Do they sell PAL VCR here in the states and if so, are they expensive? There are places that converts it for you...
