    Anyone watch Numb3rs? Know music?

    Alright. There is a really cool song at the beginning of this episode that plays over the kidnapping of the two girls and the father of Porter. I think that's the right facts anyway. Did anyone watch this episode and can tell me the name and artist of this song? It has a chorus of "Get Sound"...

    Guitar Tablature to Piano

    Alright, so I've been trying to play many of The Killers songs on the piano and since I don't believe/I can't find any sheet music books out there for them (especially B-Sides), I have to rely on the Tabs on the internet. The problem is that they are for guitar, and I don't play the guitar or...

    Easiest way to open a Kensington Combination Lock?

    I just bought a Kensington ComboSaver Combination Portable Notebook Lock. I don't know many Notebooks that aren't portable, but that's ok. Anyway, set up was a bit confusing and I wound up setting the combination to something that I have absolutely no idea what it is. Now I can't get back to...

    I'm desperately looking for an invite to OiNK, and though it seems like I'm begging for it, I'm actually looking to trade!

    I just browsed to a news snippet on engadget about this so I had to go an have a look online for it, and amazingly enough it was real, and it was just under $260! LINK I'm not sure about the quality of this product and will have to have a look when I get it, but I'd say that the specs look...

    Best Ringtone Site?

    I put 'superfreak ringtone' into google, and all I can get are sites that send them via text to you, and then charge you $10 a month for more. I just want a simple MIDI, or MP3, RAZR compatible ringtone. I'd love not to pay for it too. Where do you guys get your ringtones? I know, I can...

    Do you have to list your previous employer?

    I was just wondering, I was recently fired from my job and I am applying for a new one, but when it lists previous employer, I wondered if I can just leave that blank. My last job told me as I was leaving that they wouldn't tell anyone why I was fired, but does that mean that if my next employer...

    Medicine is leading to our downfall as a species

    I was just skimming through a documentary about Darwin, and while I knew all the stuff before, I popped an LSD tab and had this thought: Darwin says that defects in genetics and mutations will lead to the death of that animal, preventing it from passing that defect on. Now, with modern...

    Don't sweat the big stuff...

    LPEG Recommendations?

    I'm going out this week with $50 in my Debit Card to get another airsoft gun. I have already bought a sidearm (UHC H&K USP, Spring), and am going to get a primary weapon.

    iPod Video Conversion Problems

    I've got two episodes of 24 in iTunes. They are both converted at the same settings: MPEG-4 Video (368x208 @ 768 kbps), AAC audio (48.000 kHz @ 128kbps). The first one was made on Sunday, and the second one was made yesterday. Only the first one transfers to the iPod, the other one is...

    '24' Ringtone

    You guys know the desk phones they have in the office of CTU in 24? For all the seasons now they have had this ringtone, and for a while I've been looking for one that's show accurate. I'm on a T610, so a midi is preferable. Anyone found one? Since the MP3 I have is just one track, very...

    Free Season 4 Monk Episode

    First off, if you don't like iTunes then please don't bother even looking here. I can't understand why you are afraid of it, and if you don't like it, then piss off. People don't seem to like the best things, because of the company. iTunes is innovative and brilliant, and if you don't think so...

    What's considered a good salary?

    1) You enjoy the work. 2) You are single. 3) You have a nice apartment/mortgage on a house. 4) $100 a week on food, plus meals out and movies... 5) Want a nice car, aka not a Kia. What would be considered livable today under those assumptions? History: After looking at bls.gov, I've...

    My Idea for a Charity

    I get the feeling this'll get political so I'll put it here. I just had this insight into the problem of the poor starving Africans. I suggest starting the First Charitable Bank. Basically, people instead of just giving their money away, will get a chance to get their money back with some...

    Best / Fastest way to lose 25-40lbs

    I'm looking to lose about 25-40lbs in as little time as possible. My schedule doesn't allow for much free time, and certainly not running/jogging or what have you. I have regular access to a gym (school gym, so not that great, but its a gym) for more than 2 hours every weekday. I'm not...

    Airsofter's Help Needed

    I am just getting into airsoft and I am looking to purchase a gun. I'm not looking to spend more than $50 for a package (1000BB's, gas and a clip in addition to the gun). I've had a springer before, and it was decent, so that's an option. Gas is also an option, but I need to know how many clips...

    Humane Capital Punishment

    Who said that murderers deserved to be treated humanely? Would it not save money if we didn't have to do all lethal injections humanely? I have heard that it is more expensive to kill a death row inmate that to imprison them, but would we not save? I'm not sure how, but either way, does it...

    Homelessness

    Had to attend a lecture about homeless people for our school, and it brought an interesting question to mind: Is it my responsibility to pay for people below me to enjoy a warm bed and a shower and all that? I say that it isn't. If we don't pay for them, they'll learn to get off their ass and...

    .:: $3.99 James Bond Walther PPK Airsoft/Replica ::.

    Click here for more info. Just ordered mine today, will post a review when I get it, but for $3.99, you can go wrong. It is a fully functional airsoft, with the retractable slide and a clip, not a cheap one piece plastic gun from KBToys or something.

    Saving Private Ryan

    Got around to watching it off my Comcast DVR today recorded from TNTHD. First time I ever watched it, and I was tired and emotionally weakened, and it had me with little tears in the middle, but then the end, there were some drips on the couch. Wasn't it the best movie you've ever seen...

    Answer me a PSP question.

    So, I'm going to be going out today or tomorrow and picking up a PSP I hope, and I wanted to know what this can do. I hear a lot about 1.5 and 2.0 PSPs. What's the difference? Can the 2.0 ones use the Genesis emulators and things? What options are there for going back to 1.5 and what are the...

    Heading Towards the Rift - NOW WITH TUTORIAL

    Made a completely new SciFi digital art deviation. I just did it. Use a moon map from jht.cjb.net for the planet texture, and brushed up the rift. Pretty easy to do, but the planet is the real improvement over my other work, plus it's my first time really using blues. It's the first one from...

    The Wrong Descision

    Moobs and six packs

    I've been told by many (friends) and I can see it myself that I have distinct... 'cleavage.' It's embarrasing now I've noticed it, and I want to do something about them.

    Holy Crap!!!

    Well, it's humid as hell here, and there's an insect flying about my room. 2 windows open, and one little bug flying about. To preface this, bugs and snakes and spiders really freak me out. So I follow it around the room frozen in fear until I see the light I have on. There were literally a...

    TV Problems

    Ok, well I just go through switching out TV's around because our good one is having some color problems. So it is a regular tv, not plasma or anything, and kinda old. I unplug it, take it out and plug in our little LCD tv in. The speakers start this low humming noise when they are on, and when...
