    How much to ship a pool table locally?

    Hey guys, Any of you have experience shipping a pool table? I'm thinking of buying one locally off of Craigslist, but don't know how much it'll cost to ship the pool table. How much do you think it'll cost to professionally move a 4' x 8', 1000 lbs pool table within a distance of 30 miles?

    What is the best way to orient two antennas on a wireless router?

    What do you think? I have a wireless router w/ two antennas. My friend thinks the better way is to orient the antennas similarly (both pointing up). Personally, I think it's better to orient them at different angles (one pointing up and the other sideways or something like that) since the...

    XP Pro & Office 2003 Standard bundle: $149 shipped

    Basically, OEM software/hardware isn't intended to be sold to end users. OEM is sold to vendors who package it with their own products. So OEM tends to be cheaper because there's usually no packaging, no manuals, etc. OEM sometimes offers shorter warranties than retail and less (if any)...

    XP Pro & Office 2003 Standard bundle: $149 shipped

    Incorrect. OEM and Retail are functionally the same.

    XP Pro & Office 2003 Standard bundle: $149 shipped

    The software itself should be legit, but I think it's illegal for surpluscomputers to be selling NFR (Not For Resale) software.

    Humanly Impossible?

    A few buddies of mine rode their bikes down to southern California from Berkeley (about 300 miles). On the way, they passed a rather unkempt looking guy on a bike with loads of luggage and a small Spanish flag hoisted. My buddies asked him where he's heading, "Chile" he said. Astonished, they...

    My neighbor would like a plate of "mind your own damn business" with a side of "shut your piehole", please.

    Oh the irony . . . Bob has an issue with you, but isn't man enough to confront you, so he goes to your wife. Now you have an issue with Bob, but instead of confronting him, you go to ATOT.

    Question for the sound equipment-savvy!

    Just a quick question for those who are savvy with sound equipment. I have a couple of wired Shure stage microphones with no on/off switch. Because there are times, we want to turn off/mute the mic from the stage, we use microphone cables that have on/off swithces built into the head...

    TopGear Video: Lotus Exige S vs. 2005 Mustang GT (or Sushi vs. Hamburger)

    I don't get why this is "sushi v hamburger" considering the exige is a British car. Shouldn't it be like "fish & chips v hamburger" or something like that?

    Can anyone help me solve my Homer Simpson Rubik's Cube?

    haha- my friend got one of those too as a birthday present. Having solved 3x3 rubik's cubes before (through shamelessly cheating by memorizing moves of course), I laughed at the simplicity of the homer cube, only 8 pieces. And then I actually tried it. AAHHH!! Several hours later, I...
