My sanyo z4 finally died after a good 6 yrs of service so I need a new projector. Looking for the cheaper route this time and I'm focusing on the BenQ W1070 with the BenQ 1060 and Viewsonic Pro8200 as backups. Trying to figure out if this projector will work with my setup given the limited...

I decided to delve into that evil creation known as Ebay the other day and ended up buying a 106" 16:9 motorized screen. So now I should probably buy a projector to go with it. Room length is 15' and light control is good to average depending on the time of day. Viewing would be for DVD, HD and...

Now that all Sygate personal firewall products have been discontinued due to the Symantec buyout what is the best alternative? I am assuming it is Kerio. Quick update: I was looking for Kerio and they have also been bought out by Sunbelt Software. Thanks

I want to replace the window washer fluid in my car and replace it with Rain-X. How do I drain the existing fluid? Only thing I could think of was a aquarium vacuum. Thanks, Mike

I have the perfect spot for an in-wall component rack. Problem is the back end would be in my furnace room. Is this okay? I can deal with the increased sound but my main concern would be heat and if I am even allowed due to some code requirement. I know everyone has different codes but there...

It's an Infinity BU-120 bought Feb. of 2000. Around Aug. 2003 it would not stop thumping. The only way to stop it was to unplug. Took it in for repairs and for $30 in parts and $60 in labor it was fixed. Last Thursday it started doing the same thing. I plug it in from the sub straight to the...

Just got my second blood test back. 8.3 on the first and 9.2 on the second. So far no medication prescribed as I need to do one more round of blood work next week, testing three times in one day to see where my levels are at over the course of a day. Big changes ahead I guess. As long as I...

I decided I want to learn a new language. I'll start in Sept. when the new semester starts but since registration starts tomorrow I need to decide. French - since it is one of the official languages I feel some obligation to learn, plus it would help if I decide to move to a job with the...

Hi all, A capacitor recently blew in my sub and when I got it back from the shop the technician said I should be plugging the sub into the receiver. That way when I shut off the power to the receiver I am also shutting off power to the sub. Now when I bought my system a few years ago I...

Everytime I watch Reservoir Dogs (including tonight) I have to super slow motion the following scene: At the end when Joe shoots Mr. Orange, Mr. White shoots Joe, Nice Guy Eddie shoots Mr. White and then I always miss Mr. White shooting Nice Guy Eddie. Thanks to our wonderful format I can...

I'm heading to Dallas in early April for a conference. Thankfully I have a night free and plan on going to a Rangers game. It is 1/2 hr. drive to get from my hotel to the ballpark. Can any of the Dallas HTF members give me some info about how much a taxi will cost? I'm budgeting about $25...

Hey everyone, Due to some turnover at work it looks like I will have to support some programs that are written in Visual Basic. I graduated to early to be taught VB and unfortunately I’ve never taken the time to learn on my own. I know I will get training but it won’t be until the summer...

I'm toying with the idea of heading down for the Olympics. I've always regretted not going when they were in Calgary in '88. Airfare is reasonable, hotel is high but no higher than normal. It's ticket prices that are the killer. $150 US for most hockey games really makes for a tight budget...

I finally got my cable modem hooked up last night and it wasn't ten minutes after the tech left and zonealarm popped a port scan alert. In the two hours I was surfing last night I must have had 8 port scan alerts of some kind. I do find the permissions to be a bit daunting at times. I know...

Hi, I just got my new computer yesterday and hopefully I'm just paranoid. I ordered an AMD 1.4 Tbird, when the systems starts up it recognizes an 1.04 AMD and XP sees it as a 1.06 AMD. I was expecting to see 1.40 AMD. So before I go yellling and screaming, is this normal or did I pay for...

My motherboard & video card died on my old system. I went and got quotes from local stores. One was high the other was okay but cheaper components. I found a components store and starting thinking about building my own. Here's what I could get. MotherboardAsus A7V66 Via CPU AMD 1.4...

Hello, my name is Mike and I like the Designated Hitter. It's no more evident than having to watch Randy Johnson at the plate. I'm always amazed at the contrast when he is so dominant and menacing on the mound and then silly and weak at the plate. Okay, I understand why the NL has the DH. 1)...

About 6:30 last night turned my computer everything was normal did what I had to do and then shut it down. 8:00 I remembered I had something else to do, turn it on this is the only thing that happened. It did the memory test of my RAM and then the screen went to black and nothing else happened...

First off I am not encouraging someone break their agreement, or am I soliciting any links, emails or any other version of anyone might have been that stupid. That being said I was just curious as to what the penalty was for those who signed the agreement at the ranch? A monetary fine...
