    Need a new TV series to get into...

    Going by what you've listed already... I would suggest Game of Thrones on HBO, it's just about to start its first season this Sunday. It looks like it will be damn good, and I am going to be watching it. Another series I recommend, although it may not correlate with the shows you've listed...

    Started car this morning, idled @ 2k RPM

    My car, a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT, does basically the same thing when it's cold out... I will often go out to the garage and start it up before I have to leave for work when it's cold out, and it will idle at around 2000 RPM until it warms up... I assumed it did this in order to warm up a little...

    Similar H/U to Pioneer Deh-p9300

    I used to have an 8400, which looks pretty similar, but had a two piece, fold down faceplate... with a one line simple display on the outer, and when I opted to open it, the larger EL display was nearly filling the inner "faceplate"... Now, the reason why I mention this is because it suffered...

    DEAD: Get $250 with a Chase credit card

    what to wear to jury duty?

    thing is... after that, the case should move into sentencing... don't get me wrong... i've gotten an OWI, i'm not proud of it, but i didn't drag a jury through my bullsh!t

    what to wear to jury duty?

    btw: another good thing to keep in mind is to tell them when they call your name is to say that you have a vacation already planned for the date of the trial... i used that after had already been selected for 2 cases... the response was basically "ok, next."

    Hooking up a receiver to my soundcard?

    i used to use s/pdif which is basically digital coaxial. now i'm not sure how far your reciever is from your computer, but in my case i needed to use a 25 foot subwoofer cable and an 1/8" to RCA adapter to connect the two. most of the time this worked fine, but it would often cut out for half a...
