    Help running speaker wire through (under) carpet

    Sounds like the best course is running the existing wires flat on the baseboard and stapling them down, keep it spread out to avoid clumping. Maybe use a slightly thicker pad to hide any bumping where the wires run. Thanks all, appreciate the suggestions.

    Help running speaker wire through (under) carpet

    This room is like 30 ft x 50 ft, with the back speakers on the opposite side from the amp. I would have to replace and run hundreds of feet of wire to go around (including doors and windows), even going straight I need 30'+ of wire for each run. No, it's pretty much across the subfloor...

    Help running speaker wire through (under) carpet

    The time has come to replace the awful carpet in our HT basement. This may be a blessing in disguise as once the old carpet is ripped up, I can go in and run the cable on the bare subfloor and attach them to in-wall ports as would look best. Unfortunately, due to this room being already...

    FS: Two DVDO VP30s for the price of one

    Because the second one doesn't work so well ;) I have two DVDO VP30s that were used in my system for a few years. One of them works flawlessly, no problems of any kind. The second has output issues and has garbled video, so I'll throw it in for free to use as parts (or if someone can fix it...

    Weekly Roundup 12-15-2009

    Prices at BB are incorrect. Inglorious Basterds BD is $22.99 and Hangover BD is $19.99. I'm sure because I just wasted a stop there due to this thread ;) Target prices are correct though.

    Circuit City closing all stores -- watch for bargains coming soon

    Best Buy won't possibly fold until this time next year, and that is doubtful. Xmas is everything to retailers, that's why so many go bankrupt or have cuts right after Xmas. BB will definitely make it to next Xmas, after that who knows? I think they will do some trimming of headcount, close a...

    Outlaw Audio 950 7.1 preamplifier-processor

    Damn man! My 950 gave it up on Sunday, I bought a used 970 on Monday because I could not find a used 950 online. Grrrr... Great unit though, anyone looking for a solid pre/pro at a value price, the 950 is an excellent choice. Even if the seller's timing is lousy (for me) ;)

    Big problem with plasma, any suggestions?

    My 2 yr old just chucked a marble through the front of the TV, nice crack and the TV now will not display (power button flashes red.) The crack isn't that large, but what can be done about this? Is it worth the price of repair, or do I need to get a new plasma? BTW, this is a Pioneer 50" 720p...

    bringing back extinct animals....

    As mentioned above, it would be very, very hard to get a large enough genepool going to make an extinct species viable again. I would think that bringing back certain creatures like Wooly Mammoths would (and should) be done just to observe them and see "how they went about their business." Sort...

    Dungeons and Dragons co-creator Gary Gygax has passed away

    The funny thing is my friends and I would always get it in our heads to play DnD, so we would stock up on treats/soda and have a sleepover at someone's house. We played maybe 1.5 adventures over a series of sleepovers spanning many years. Mostly we would spend 4-6 hours rolling characters...

    Land of The Free

    The problem Garrett is that drug and DUI arrests usually have mandated sentences that disallow the possibility of early parole. Sometimes these are called "Zero tolerance" or "3 strikes, you're out" or whatever the snappy catch phrase is this cycle. But when you take away a judge's ability to...

    Electronic tattoo runs on blood...

    It's even better than that. When you see girlfriend #1 on Friday night and girlfriend #2 on Saturday night, you just download a the new photo and can have a tattoo for both. Make sure you change it though, explaining to Jennifer Rocks! why her tattoo became Alissa Forever! could be quite a...

    Im not a tattoo kind of guy, but the nerd in me yearns for one of those things. A touch screen tattoo built into your arm that can dial your bluetooth phone and monitor your blood levels? Fuggedaboutit!!!

    Tipping at a Fancy Restaurant?

    Some places will automatically add a tip to your bill. Be sure to check before you tip at the end, nothing like giving them 20% on top of the 15% they've already added (for your convienience no doubt ;))

    This Really Stinks

    As the Monty Python gag goes: "He's dead" "He's not really dead yet" "He's says he's feeling better" "He's getting up" Dave runs over the skunk with his car "Oh, now he's dead." Sounds like some skunk had a case of the Mondays.

    This Really Stinks

    Shoot it, then call them back and say there is a dead skunk out in front of your property. Sounds like it was either hit by a car or is very, very sick. Either way, put it out of its misery and move on.
