    Resistor Code ?

    Due to a power surge a resistor on the Motor Control board of my treadmill cooked. It is likely that other components are also toast. However, since resistors are cheap and new control boards are not I thought I would try to replace the blown resistor first. However, it has been a long time...

    Triathlon wave start?

    I am doing my first tri at Timberman next weekend and just looking at the wave start assignments Is it typical to have the older slower groups go first (after the pros)? Seems backwards to me since that will make the faster groups have to deal with more traffic causing a safety issue...

    The small town in which I live is planning to install large stadium lights in a local little league field located in the middle of a residential district (the actual field is zoned Open-Space).

    I was recently in the interior of Alaska and drove past a flowing river(the Tanana I think) and some small streams( ~5ft wide). The outside temperature was approx -30 F (-34C) not factoring wind chill and had been sub zero for an extended period of time. I know that sediment/contaminants can...

    I recently enabled media library sharing between my Windows XP Pro system with Media Player 11 and my Xbox360 over my wireless LAN. Well the 360 cannot play any of my library of Divx videos. It only supports WMV, MPG and a few others. So I am looking for any recommendations for a video...
