    Dry my motor?

    Hey all. Not sure if this is the best place to ask this question, but since you guys are wicked shmaht I figured it can't hurt. I have a side-by-side Whirlpool refrigerator with an icemaker. The motor that turns inside the door to break up the ice in the ice-bin is somehow getting liquid inside...

    Anybody know how Time Warner assigns IP addresses?

    Do they assign them automatically and randomly to anybody connected to their network or is it specific to the cable modem you get? Reason I ask is I need to replace my modem but I have to have an IP in a specific range for some web admin work I do. I can get the allowed range changed if...

    "More and more scientists are starting to believe in intelligent design."

    I heard this statement this morning, and I was going to ignore it, but the guy that said it usually has his head on straight, so I have to ask. This isn't true, right? I was pretty sure we'be been moving away from that steadily for a while now.....

    Is there a list of title levels somewhere?

    The "We need a lifer forum" thread got me thinking, at what post count do you get a new title here? Is there a list posted someplace? I'm especially interested in what it takes to become a "Lifer", cause I've got to be really close. :whiste: Seriously though, what when and where? I tried...

    I just started watching Farscape on Netflix.....

    and I can't decide if I like these people or not. I'm just on Season 1 Episode 9 "DNA Mad Scientist", and they are pretty f-ed up. The show is a little corny sometimes, but I've heard a lot of good things about it and a necro thread I saw here the other day made me finally decide to start it...

    This Forum has had a sudden surge in Polls posted.....Do you approve?

    Within the last few days, ATOT has had a huge rise in the number of polls posted that pose hard-hitting questions, all of them ripped straight from the headlines!! Should these stories stay on the news sites, or should we continue to measure the general opinion of ATOT with the handy-dandy...

    What's the most dishonest thing you've seen at a retail store?

    I stopped by Staples on the way home tonight to pick up a bluetooth in-ear headset, the Plantronics BackBeat Go 2. They aren't the greatest quality in the world, but they're perfect for my purposes and price range. So anyway, Staples only had the one box on hand and it had obviously been opened...

    What should I look for in a phone charger cord?

    I know that sounds like a dumb question, but I'm looking for a longer USB cable to charge my phone, preferrably >=6ft, and I keep seeing reviews online that say a lot of them don't allow for full charging capacity. What do I need to look for to know a USB cable is going to be able to handle the...

    What do you keep on your flash drive?

    I'm sure this is a repost, but I didn't find anything on a quick search. A post in Memory and Storage got me wondering what everybody keeps on flash drives that they carry with them, and what size drive you carry. I read EDC Forums from time to time, and they have a thread like this where people...

    Why does Vista insist on putting the MBR on IDE drive instead of SATA?

    I've already got this resolved, so I'm not sure that this belongs in Computer Help, but I don't know where else to put it. I had a dual boot setup between Linux and Vista on my desktop, which I decided to change to just Vista, but after dumping Linux I started getting the "BOOTMGR is...

    What's the prevailing opinion on Messenger Bags? UPDATE: Bought a bag!

    I've recently gotten a new job and I now have more things to carry to work with me than I can fit in my pockets. So I started carrying these things in an old laptop bag I had lying around the house, but recently I've been thinking about getting a messenger bag. The only thing stopping me is that...

    How does UPS Mail Innovations Work?

    I ordered something from thinkgeek.com over the weekend and chose economy shipping because, honestly, I don't care when it arrives. This resulted in it shipping via UPS Mail Innovations. I've read a little on it and from what I've read, the item ships via UPS until it makes it to the destination...

    Amazon.com Shipping Screwup (Am I right to be upset?)

    I ordered 3 books from Amazon on January 1st while I was visiting family in Virginia and had them shipped to Virginia. I paid for one-day shipping because one of the books was a gift for a family member there, and I knew I'd be leaving Sunday for NC, where I live. On Friday morning, when the...

    Question about intelligent design theory

    This world is frickin' insane

    I just saw the trailer for the new Incredible Hulk movie, and noticed something. When the final frame of trailer comes up where it has rating and production info, there is a "Disclaimer" I guess, that says "This film contains depictions of tobacco consumption." So what? You can walk less than...

    Who Wants to be a Superhero

    I was channel surfing today and found this show "Who Wants to be a Superhero" on the Sci-fi channel. Wow. I REALLY hope the people on this show are acting and it isn't a real reality show. Especially this guy called Feedback. He just gets way too excited and too into the whole superhero...

    Thinking of getting into WoW, but need some answers first

    OK, so after all this talk about WoW on this forum, I've been thinking of getting into it. My biggest concern is that there is NO WAY I'm going to spend hours on top of hours each week playing. Is it possible to play this game well if I play maybe an hour or two a day, at most? Also, can I...

    Sound that only young people can hear

    The new movie that just came out called the Messengers talks about a frequency that only young people can hear. I assumed it was just something they made up for the sake of the movie.

    MSDNAA Vista Question

    I know we're supposed to be cutting down on the Vista threads, but I tried using the "great" search function here with no success. Is the copy of Vista you get from MSDNAA considered OEM, or does it work like retail. Also, is it the full version? I assume it is since it doesn't say upgrade or...
