    Getting all windows in the house replaced today

    The windows and blinds are all probably 20+ years old. Window people are coming today to replace them all, haven't decided what to do with the blind situation yet (what kind, where to buy, etc). Anything I should know before these guys get to work? Interesting anecdotes? Thanks. The...

    Got a new car, had oil changed - does synthetic really make a difference?

    I recently purchased an 04 S2000 with 17500 miles on it (naturally aspirated, stock, no superchargers/turbos), and I have a friend who owns an 05 (same car) who swears by synthetic oil. I got an oil and filter change the moment I bought the car, and he convinced me to use 10w40 royal purple...

    Does using synthetic oil in your car really make a difference?

    Have any of you ever considered working on a cruise ship? (young, middle age, old, etc) Post your thoughts!

    I grew up in relatively boring Orange County, went to UCI, worked part time as a valet and tutor, graduated this year in June, spent half a month roaming around Brazil, a month in Taiwan (and biked around half of it with a cousin and some friends), and for the past month and a half, I've been...

    Is the centrist view being purported as the left, and the super-right-wing as the right?

    It looks like it to me. There were a lot of centrist Dems voted into the House and Senate this week - Republicans and conservatives seem to think that now with Dems in power, our country is going to begin a radically leftist movement. Did anyone watch The Colbert Report on Tuesday night? His...

    How to format a new makeshift external HD?

    I jumped on a $90 400gb seagate deal with the intention of making it into a portable external drive, and bought an enclosure (not at that price or from compusa, of course) for it. My question is: how do I format it? Can I just stick the drive into the enclosure, turn it on, and format it...

    I somehow lost my camera's trigger button at Oktoberfest...

    It's a Canon S500. I was at Oktoberfest and somewhere during the drunk night the button went missing. Everything is fine except now there is no button to take pictures with. I think the camera is well past warranty. What should I do? Call Canon? Look for a camera store to see if they have...

    Question about property rights/laws

    I'm going to Brazil late June! (Sao Paulo, Iguacu, Rio)

    My whole family used to live in Brazil for 10 years or so before moving to the US, but I've never been there. I'm finally going to visit some roots (and a few family members still there, of course). I'm looking forward to it, since it will be the first time I've left the country for years...

    Does my current motherboard heatsink situation warrant "DANGER!"?

    Crossposting from general hardware because I just realized this is probably the more relevant forum category: It's been a few months since I've taken my tower outside and dusted off the insides with a can of compressed air, so I went and did it. I then noticed that the heatsink on my...

    Does my current motherboard heatsink situation warrant "DANGER!"?

    It's been a few months since I've taken my tower outside and dusted off the insides with a can of compressed air, so I went and did it. I then noticed that the heatsink on my motherboard was no longer sitting on it, but rather at a tilt. I don't know if it has been like that for a while or if it...

    Do you guys remember any particular classroom lessons you actually enjoyed?

    Ones in particular that got the class involved, and maybe even involved controversial or ethical issues and sparked debate among the students? All these years of education, and I can't think of very many particular days where the material was truly engrossing... :(
