    new blueray won't click out of pro logic

    This has been driving me crazy all night. I have a new samsung BD-P1500 connected to my old pioneer elite 35TX receiver via optical. On blue ray and on DVD media, if I hit the audio button on the blueray player it displays DD5.1 or DTS5.1, however my receiver won't click out of pro logic. If I...

    anyone have a use for a pronto TSU1000?

    Mine isn't used any longer and I hate to throw out working equipment if someone can use it. The serial cable is around somewhere, I'm still looking for it. How about 20 bucks + shipping w/o the cable? If I find it I'll toss it in.

    Plumbing help

    I can't answer that, but in my neck of the woods the lines to and from your house to the main under the straight are all considered "your problem" but if they broke it then who knows.

    Flying Cars

    No, it's not silly. You're using the same often very crowded airspace as everything else and therefore are expected to follow the same rules. Thinking that pilot licensing is for nothing other than the ability to use an airport or runway is however silly.

    are the kids in your neighborhood out of control?

    sounds like something my neighbors kids would do when they're older. At least the parents made one of them go out and pick up the rocks. When I was a kid if a neighbor saw me doing that they'd take me right to my parents and I'd be cleaning up the neighbors yard or I'd get a beating.

    are the kids in your neighborhood out of control?

    Seems like the ones in mine are. Today I found 75 or 100 2-3" rocks in my front yard that they decided should be thrown there after the last snow storm, I wondered why I had all kinds of holes in the snow. Last time one of them ran his bike into my car leaving a nice gash that surprisingly no...

    anyone here a commissioned salesman? Or a tax pro?

    anyone here a commissioned salesman? Or a tax pro?

    Cameron, do you have any resources that I might be able to show them? All of my coworkers are upset about this and accounting is completely unwilling to change or look at alternatives, in fact here is their explanation directly. Your explanation is spot on. One period I get my $XXXX base...

    anyone here a commissioned salesman? Or a tax pro?

    I believe so, yes. all I know is it cost me about 800 bucks out of pocket on my last check doing it this way. I'd have to look at my stub to be sure and they're at work in my desk drawer.

    anyone here a commissioned salesman? Or a tax pro?

    unfortunately I can't tell the mortgage "you'll get your money when I get my refund" for example out of my last paycheck alone I paid 25 percent of the federal taxes I've paid for the year!

    anyone here a commissioned salesman? Or a tax pro?

    dammit that's what I was afraid of. for years it used to be our commish came on one check and pay came on another, both taxed in accordance with our deductions we select, now we've been bought out by a fortune 500 company and our commish MUST be taxed at 25% because it is considered...

    Gratuity input needed

    I had a motorcycle shipped cross country and delivered a week or two ago, I was going to tip the truck driver until he told me he made about 6 times what I do.

    Gratuity input needed

    I hate tipping, but I think malcolm's list is pretty spot on. it's amazing how nice the room is if you leave even a small tip... one day I forgot and the room was in crappy shape :laugh: I usually tip the barber like 2-3 bucks on a 14 or so dollar haircut. the one I never know about is...

    Are you in sales?

    I sort of sell, but really it's all about price with the customers so as much as my boss likes us to differentiate on quality and service, the bottom line is almost always price, so I guess I'm a crappy salesman

    paypal credit card surcharge

    ANd you better believe that if the auction says you accept paypal, you'll be accepting paypal and absorbing the fees, or you'll be relisting the item.
