    Lawn care

    Yeah, I think I really need to start seeding in the spring/fall and get a more established grass system. I tried a organic pre-emergent this year which doesn't seem to have done any good.

    Lawn care

    My lawn wasn't too bad in the spring but the weeds have come back like crazy. 1/2 the lawn is crabgrass now. I'm a little embarrassed to go outside. Probably time to start putting down some weed killer on a regular basis. I'd really prefer to not use any chemicals.

    Laptop network adapters seem to disappear

    I have scanned the system for malware both inside and outside of Windows. Nothing showed up. I have also run the commands listed in both posts above and that had no effect on the issue.

    Laptop network adapters seem to disappear

    I have a laptop with Vista Sp2. Recently was unable to connect to a network or the internet. I can see wireless networks in range but can't connect to any. Wired connection doesn't work either. After restoring back to a previous restore point the network adapters both worked fine for about 20...

    What's the most expensive STEAM game you've paid for?

    Don't think I've spent over $7 on any game on steam. I'm so far behind I tend to get the games that are on sale for $5.

    Sub-$20K car recommendations?

    We have a 2010 Elantra and so far so good. Engine isn't the smoothest thing but in this price range they're all a little bit rough. I love the look of the new one but the wife didn't want to wait so we went with the 2010.

    whats the most reliable SSD right now?

    I really would have expected failure rates to be really low, maybe it's still too immature but I recall way back when the drive makers were like "it's got no moving parts, nothing to wear out or break, it's indestructible. I guess I'm going to wait another year or two.

    Four user accounts, two don't get internet

    I was looking at an XP system that has 4 user accounts. Two are limited accounts and two are admin accounts. The adapter is a DLINK DWA-125 USB adapter. When logged into one of the admin accounts, internet works fine. When logged into one of the limited accounts, internet works fine. If I...

    Little Fockers DVD: I cannot fast forward the ads

    This pisses me off to no end, makes me want to crack the disc in half. There's no reason we should be forced to watch the BS they put before the disc. It's bad enough on rentals but on a disc I bought, no way in hell.

    Would this backsplash look good in this small half bathroom?

    With the color of the bathroom I wouldn't use the green tile. Maybe something in the same color family. With the texture of the walls maybe something like a rustic looking tumbled stone tile would look good.

    Help Me Out with graphic card PLEASE!!

    A used GT240 would be in your price range and should run on a 300W power supply. It's not going to be great for gaming but it's certainly better than integrated graphics.

    Help Me Out with graphic card PLEASE!!

    With only a 300W power supply you're going to be greatly limited in video card choices. Do you have one of the full width towers or is it one of the slim models?

    NZXT PSU has started powering the system off

    After 4 -5 months of perfect performance my NZXT PSU shut down the system yesterday with no warning. At first I thought it was just a one time thing so I powered everything back one and a few minutes later, power went out again. After 3 or 4 times of this, I got an old power supply out of an...

    Buying high end gaming laptop, need help

    4GB - 6GB is plenty for gaming. SSD is definitely worth it if you get one of the faster drives and it's enough space for you.

    This normal on job applications?

    The ones I really hate (and don't fill out) are the ones that ask you to upload resume, CV and then on the next page you have to type all that information in. I've actually had a few place who after they've reviewed my resume, done a phone interview and had me come in, require that I fill out...

    One more time...Honda Losing its way...

    They may have lost their way but they're selling a lot of cars. Doesn't seem like an incentive to change. For the 1st Quarter of 2011, the top 4 cars were Honda and Toyota.

    Deciding between two job offers...

    All excellent advice, thanks so much for the comments. @Farmer: Company #1 is actually relatively new < 6 years in business so that part is a little scary. The 2nd company has been around 31 years which is definitely something I considered. @wantedSpidy Cost of living is the same, I...

    Deciding between two job offers...

    I've had a little bit of management experience and I actually like it a lot. I can see how it could become more than a full time job in some companies but I don't think that would be the case for this position.

    Yep, depending on pricing cable box DVR is a good alternative. Tivo has netflix streaming if that's important to you.

    Tivo is great and yes, you need a subscription. It's much more than a digital VCR. Excellent Tivo community: http://www.tivocommunity.com/

    Deciding between two job offers...

    Offer #1 is 110K, offer #2 87K. Both jobs are 40 hours/week plus a little extra during busy times which seems to be the norm in the IT industry.

    Deciding between two job offers...

    One will include management experience and the money is very good. Second offer is less money (23K less) but something I think I would enjoy more long term. Both would be good experiences and would increase my skills and marketability. Should money be the deciding factor or should I go...

    is there a point to slow and long cardio?

    At home we have a treadmill, exercise bike, free weights and a bow-flex. For the last 6 months I've been doing the bike for 30 minutes everyday. I typically use the weight-loss program which just cycles through different resistance settings. Heart rate is usually around 130-140. After the...
