I would have to call BS on that one. Be persistent with your builder. Why wouldn't he want you to be happy? Surely he's not going to miss that much $$ if you pull your own wires.

The furnace and water heater are on my basement level (a walk-out basement) in their own room with a proper drain. The sub-basement (where I'd like to put the HT) is 1/2 flight below that. Because of the way the house is laid out, the sub-basement is not any farther below ground than a typical...

So, I bought a California Split with an unfinished sub-basement (aka HT). Anyway, the sub-basement has a drain in the middle. I want to finish the room as and HT, but what do I do about the drain (and the fact that the floor sinks in around it)? It wouldn't bother me (I guess) if the...

one question How can Network Administration be shipped overseas when the network is physically in the US? It seems to me, that it would be foolish to totally give up IT while we are still in an economic "funk". That said, if you can't find one in IT, you have to have a job in something!

On this cool site, called Google :wink:, I searched for "curved stage construction" (Google) On the first page of results I found this(tedwhite.homestead.com). It's a pretty good description of the stage. Images can be found here.

They are Berkline's. I'm guessing it's the same fabric. The dealer must have just been calling it something else.

Is the micro fiber the same stuff they call "NuSuede"? I saw some with what the dealer called "NuSuede"...I liked it better than the Leather (esp. b/c of the cost!). Thanks for the input.

I'm not an expert, but I believe the low frequencies will not be greatly affected by carpet. Carpet vs. Hardwood makes less of a difference than Subfloor vs. Concrete slab (I think).

I ask, because I am looking at building a theater 13x19. I think the seats you have are the same model and configuration that I want to put in my theater. In my configuration, the seats will be centered so that the left and right side have the same traffic space. I wonder, do you think...

Very nice!! What are the dimensions of your room?

I'm not telling you to do this with your phone! @ work, we had a guy spill grapefruit juice all over his laptop. Anyway, a couple of weeks later, it was opened & soaked in rubbing alcohol. Then, the alcohol was drained & the computer was left to dry. When complete, the system ran! As far...

I, too, couldn't believe that they didn't obviously say, "scratch here for your code". In fact, I ended up calling TS & felt like a dumb-ass when they told me to scratch the foil like a lottery ticket. Anyone with Microsoft experience would have expected the key to be printed on top of the...

I believe XBox is a Windows based system. Can you give it a 3 finger salute? Try rebooting? :)

If your ISP only allows you to use 1 MAC address, you can buy a router that will spoof the MAC address. I have a Netgear RP114 that can do it.

If the game supports 720P, I think it also supports 480P by default. At least, that is the case with THPS4 (XBox) & my Mits 48311.

That's good advice. I guess I was just trying to make the point that many people seem to only perform cardio workouts (which in excessive amounts can be harmful).

I am not a nutritionist or personal trainer... The way I understand it is that you burn fat for a considerable longer amount of time if you lift weights vs cardio. Because your body is expending energy to rebuild muscle tissue, you burn calories for a longer time. With cardio, you burn a...

Look here (slashdot.org)

I have recently heard (from an ex-Circuit City salesman) that Sony will be quitting the Car audio biz. Don't know if it's true, but that would affect wether I would purchase the Sony or not.

"Drive too close to me, and I'll flick a booger on your winshield."

Did you know that riding a bike burns fewer calories than jogging? Excerpt from The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding by Arnold Schwarzenegger:

I just use a digital camera. That way, if my fiance ever gets pissed at me, she can just send my photos 'round the 'net. :b

If you haven't already, have someone (or use a time delay camera to) take pictures of yourself naked. Do it like mug shots; facing front, left, right, and back. Take them after every 10 pounds you lose. I never realized how much of a fatass I was until I did this. Trust me, the mirror may...

It looks like you are concerned more with the average cost of living. Therefore, I will put in another vote for the KC area. Most likely the Missouri side, but everything here is booming. As long as you don't live in Johnson County, Kansas (which used to be in the top 5 richest counties in...

NO!!!! Don't say such terrible things!!

I hope I'm not kicking around something that has already been expressed. While I do not like to preach, I felt I needed to tell you this: Speaking from the experience as a child in a divorce, I hope that you and the X can find a way to share custody (even if you are granted full legal...

I thought the allowable shut-off time begins at 3 AM Central time. T-minus 10 minutes.

I just bought a Plextor 24x10x40 from www.iitem.com for $179 shipped. They were a little slow to get it to me , but it did come!
