    User opinion on ECS K7S5A ???

    I cannot recommend this board. I have had to RMA two to Newegg because they died. The second one filled the room with smoke and took out the CPU and HS/F. I got my money back (Newegg is a very good company!). I got a P4 1.7/Shuttle AV40 and its a LOT nicer design of board/chip/hsf setup than...

    Help! What'd I do to my car?

    First guess is head gasket, cept there is no coolant leaking. Check your radiator for oil in the coolant. Second is engine seal. Either way, BAD, don't drive until you figure it out... If you starve the engine of the oil it needs, you will be able to put those new pistons in that you wanted :)

    anybody good at MATLAB please help

    (not an expert at matcrap, but I'll try). You need to do a for loop to do the multiplication like you would by hand. Loop on the size of the matrixes.

    STUPID MOSQUITOS! - uh BTW how come they don't pass around AIDS?

    if you let the mosquito finish and pull out itself (that sounds really bad), it will take most of the saliva out and it won't itch (its hard to sit there and watch it though). Also, they are attracted to certain smells... so lay off the cologne and don't eat bananas (I think that is one of the...

    How to get rid of monitor scratches?? HELP!

    There is a store here (in Dallas) that is called The Container Store... they sell, well, containers (and other expensive foofey crap). The only reason I go in there is for the Novus (since the Harley dealerships rape you for it). Make sense?

    How to get rid of monitor scratches?? HELP!

    This *might* help: Go to the Container Store and buy some Novus 1,2 and 3. Use them following the directions. Be careful!@!@ with the Novus #3 (its for heavy scratches). You might want to try this on a junk monitor or something like that. Harley owners use this on their paint and chrome and I...

    Help me get a student loan, please.

    If you want one from the feds, you need to fill out the FAFSA. You can do it online (I think) at www.doe.gov maybe? or fafsaonline.com or something like that... Your college should be able to help too. Sean

    Does anyone watch Change of Heart : tv show

    The guy who used to MC it is a DJ on the radio here in Dallas. Just like 3 months ago he all started coming out of the closet. Now he is *always* saying crap like "As a gay man..." Gets a little annoyingly redundant... But yeah, they want guys to watch the show so they gave him the boot and...

    What's the funniest thing your wife does?

    Is it just me or do wives love to talk to you when you are asleep/bout to go to sleep and expect you to remember it? Seriously my wife works on Cali time (we are in Texas) so she gets up late and goes to bed late. By midnight I am out. She says she has full conversations with me that I...

    the audiophile thread

    Like everyone else said: Speakers are *very* personal and you really need to go listen to them in person. I personally like (ok love) B&W speakers (can't afford them right now). My wife like them too. WE like them because their highs are not too harsh or shrill (she has sensitive eardrums)...

    Working out... what am I really doing?

    Don't remember the comedian who said it but: "Why do women have their own way of weighing themselves: 'Well my clothes weigh 10 pounds, and my shoes are 5 and my watch is a pound...' What are you wearing? Lead shoes and Armor?" I think he was talking about his wife too :) [edit cuz I can't...
