    Paragon Backup & Recovery 10?

    Has anyone used Paragon Backup & Recovery 10? I need a good drive imaging solution for personal use and can't decide between it and Acronis True Image Home 2011. I know Acronis has many fans here, but I'd appreciate opinions from those familiar with the paid Paragon offering. Thank you in...

    Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a shot. Still no loaf as of this morning. :(

    hydrocodone is a good time.

    What a coincidence to come across this thread. I had surgery on Friday for a severely deviated septum and was prescribed Hydrocodone for pain management. I can't say I feel any psychological effects on it other than being tired, but Holy Constipation!! I haven't been able to drop a deuce since...

    How would you transfer eleventy billion Hi8 tapes to a hard drive...

    We've purchased a Sony Digital8 camcorder and Pinnacle Studio software. The Digital8 cam plays the older Hi8 tapes without a hitch, connects directly to the PC via Firewire, and we can capture the video feed through Pinnacle Studio. Everything is working like a top! Thanks to each of you for...

    How would you transfer eleventy billion Hi8 tapes to a hard drive...

    I have a neighbor who has a significant collection of older Hi8 tapes (literally over 300). His Hi8 video cam bit the dust over a year ago. His objective is to digitize each of his tapes to his hard drive so he can edit them and subsequently burn them to DVD. He wants to tackle the project...

    Anyone else completely lose interest in their pregnancy when they found out the baby was the wrong sex?

    That's probably the most shallow, least apropos and lamest analogy I've ever seen on this bored. Truly. We're not talking about managing client's expectations with business concerns, we're discussing a living, breathing, human baby. There is a significant difference between the two. Sure...

    Mortgage Loan and Closing Cost

    Quick question to those involved in the mortgage industry: How legitimate are some of the closing cost fees? To the average home buyer, it's impossible to determine which of the myriad fees are necessary, and/or if there's suspect "padding" involved. Also, in this respect, is the mortgage...

    Anyone else completely lose interest in their pregnancy when they found out the baby was the wrong sex?

    +1. I can't believe not one ATOT'er has commented as you did, and you posted on page 3! OP is basically saying he doesn't want a boy because he can't buy cute clothes and doesn't care for sports. That's it. WTF?! I'm guessing this is some kind of rile-us-up thread. No man can be that fucking...

    Computer powers up for a fraction of a second, then immediatly shuts off

    I usually shut down my desktop PC each night just to save a little on electricity. Standby/sleep mode frequently locks up my system, for whatever reason. Everything has worked great for two years. Not any hardware problems to speak of. However, this morning I tried to power up and was greeted...

    I'm furious at my wife.

    That's why I said "5 minutes." It might take a little doing, unlike with you, where even Erkel could dispose of you in about 10 seconds.

    I'm furious at my wife.

    That's not funny in the least. Not at all. I'd love to have 5 minutes alone with the asspound who threw that puppy. :disgust:

    I'm furious at my wife.

    This response, without a doubt, is the best one so far. Most women adore silly little dogs like this one, and would fuss all over it like flies on sh!t. I'm going to employ this strategy right away... Thanks for the suggestion.

    I'm furious at my wife.

    That smile may have deceived you. I assure you, my comment was made tongue-in-cheek. I've never seen a group of more judgmental fockers than ATOTers. Of course, that's just one of the many reasons I like it here...

    I'm furious at my wife.

    To those who think it's shens my wife won the puppy in the tournament, or that she deliberately deceived me about it, some of you may recall years ago Roger Federer won a tournament and one of his prizes was a cow. This thought of my wife deceiving me, however, did cross my mind the 2nd day...

    I'm furious at my wife.

    My wife and I have been wanting to adopt a dog to join our household. We've discussed the matter at length, and decided a Rhodesian Ridgeback would do quite nicely. I love big dogs and she seemed to be on board with the idea. So, my wife, a great tennis player in her own right, wins a...

    Immigration Attorney

    RKS, I would very much appreciate your cousin's contact information. Language should not be an issue as there is another family member, as well as me, who can translate whenever necessary. Could you PM the information to me? Thanks again.

    Immigration Attorney

    It's an extremely complicated and sensitive matter that would require 2,000 words or more to explain. Honestly. And as I'm not directly involved, I would not feel right about airing out the laundry in a public forum. Unfortunately, any type of marriage, even a "fake" one, is not applicable to...

    Immigration Attorney

    Can anyone recommend a savvy immigration attorney with considerable experience in this aspect of law? It doesn't matter where they practice in the U.S., as long as they have a proven track record. This information is needed for a dear friend of mine. Unfortunately, she does not speak English...

    It's a common theme here on ATOT, unfortunately. Hopefully the piss paraders feel much better about themselves after ducking in to take shallow swipes. :roll:
