    Can you help me with a new build?

    A couple nights ago my computer got smoked during a lightning storm despite being redundantly protected. Homeowners may cover it, but that's beside the point. I still have to get back up and running. The components now are: Neo Power 480 PSU (smoked, but I already bought a new one) Asus...

    I'm makin cookies.

    And I'm pretty sure I'm not gay. They're Neimann Marcus Chocolate Chip, but I leave the expresso powder out because you can't buy expresso powder here in Podunk. I've looked. Everywhere. The dough is in the fridge right now because it has to be the right temperature. If the dough is too warm...

    I need a new sellfone.

    I currently have an xv6700 pda phone. I Have an Oncourse bluetooth gps receiver for it and it works wonderfully as a gps navigator, but as a cellfone, it totally sucks. I always touch the side buttons and I'm forever clearing screens and waiting on it to finish opening things that I didn't...

    I need a resume.

    I have three or four really bad resumes. They need to be slapped together into something that looks professional and decent so that prospective employers have no clue that I'm retarded. I don't need a job-specific resume, but a "one resume fits all" resume. I'll be more than happy to...

    A serious sampling of attitudes concerning politics, insects and attorneys.

    I was talking with my bud over at another forum and had a scary realization. I like lawyers and cockroaches better than republicans. It really shook me up considering cockroaches are really gross and that lawyers are, well, lawyers. Being as there is a large sampling population here, I just...

    If a chick got knocked up and then had her ovaries removed, could she still carry the baby?

    Kinda like this... 1.) Woman gets pregnant. 2.) Finds she has ovarian cancer or something and has to have ovaries removed. 3.) Can the baby still survive? I guess no, but aside from the hormone issue, I have absolutely nothing to support my argument. This topic actually just came up at my...

    At what point in the day do you generally decide to cancel the day?

    It's 11:00 am and I really haven't done anything today. I've pretty much decided that I'm not going to do anything today. I may play a videogame, and I might put together a computer while I'm watching tv cause all the parts are sitting around at my feet. Odds are best that I won't do anything...

    NYC street vendor question.

    I was in NYC a couple weeks ago and a street vender was selling lucite pendants painted on the backside with reflective paint, and they were awesome. For whatever reason I didn't buy any. The kids would love them. Anyone got a clue here? I think this guy was parked on Broadway close to...

    Getting video onto an ipod.

    What do you guys use, and what software do you use to do it? I'd like to put a few movies on there and some Real Player files. Maybe some mpegs. I understand I need to change the format of the video, but I don't know what format or the size of the video. I understand I can use Quicktime Pro...

    DISH or DirecTV?

    Fantasy Baseball, ladies?

    I've just started picking up players for a Fantasy Baseball league. We need one more guy. We may be able to stretch the team in twos if we have extra bodies. It's going to be very loose and a hell of a good time. If you're at all tight-assed, you may want to shy away. We'll be having a lot of...

    I think it might be my Anniversary.

    The little woman asked if I'd make love to her tonight. She even qualified the request by saying "make love like you used to when you loved me, not just sex". I explained that would cost her extra. I'm going to have to call my mother-in-law to see if it's our Anniversary just in case she...

    What is the largest hdd that Windows 98 will recognize?

    Long story short... A kid got a new 200gb hdd. Tries to install windows 98 and crashes. The hdd now shows as 32gb hdd as it's formatting. I assumed during the 98 install he formatted the drive in fat32 and the rest can't be seen by the new xp install. I already have a strategy to fix the...

    Bradruth inspired cop joke.

    While she was "flying"down the road yesterday (10 miles over the limit), a woman passed over a bridge only to find a cop with a radar gun on the other side lying in wait. The cop pulled her over, walked up to the car, and with that classic patronizing smirk we all know and love, asked...
