    Help me find an old thread?! Business card / design related..

    I've done the usual searches, no luck as of yet. I cannot for the life of me remember the user who posted it. Basically he was showing off his new business card + some of his other graphics work/design. Think it had a blue background, full design, printed both sides - really badass. I seem...

    Anyone ordered from CapitolSupply?

    Not quite sure where else to post this, this seems most appropriate. Looking for a particular part, most major sites are OOS, however CapitolSupply.com has the item. I cannot find any reviews for this company, there is no listing whatsoever on Resellerratings.com? Any thoughts as to...

    DSL Install tomorrow - quick question

    Just got a call from the provider asking if I'd be home so they could install a "RJ45" jack into the wall in place of the normal one. I've had cable for the last 6-7 years or so... The last DSL connection I had went: standard phone line/plug>dsl modem>router>pc I just don't understand...

    One of my professors is driving me nuts..

    So I've got a professor this semester (it's a eng lit class), who seems to be picking stories/authors with a Christian theme. We've been assigned two papers (out of four) that have heavy religious overtones. Normally, I wouldn't care - however, the most recent assignment seems to require a...

    Activists set up Police - Fake grow house in Odessa TX

    Guess we'll just have to wait and see how this plays out. Any bets on whether or not they try to charge these guys? Basically, looks like a former drug cop turned activist set up the police in Odessa. I'm really curious as to how they obtained the warrant. A few articles related to...

    Ebay issue - or not? How long to wait on shipping?

    So I bought a lens on ebay last Monday (20th). It was a bit late in the evening, so starting from the 21st, it's been a full week and the item has yet to be shipped. The person/company is a powerseller with ridiculously good feedback, I wasn't too worried initially. Then I get an email that...

    Anyone ever have a food allergy?

    Made some crab cakes the other night, used the local grocery chain store brand of lump crab meat. About an hour and a half later my throat's sore as hell, kinda coughing/clearing my throat, all kinds of mucous - just disgusting. Ended up taking some antihistamines (benadryl) and that helped...

    Dodd vows no retroactive immunity for telecoms

    I don't often post here, but as a disillusioned Dem - this makes me a wee bit happier. Agree or Disagree, at least someone's taking a stand instead of the typical talk with no action. (I searched, really! Sorry if it's a repost, but I didn't see it anywhere) from -...

    Exactly as it says, just looking for a place to buy some higher quality t-shirts online, say 75-100 at a time. Need them for a group/family thing, not particular about brands - just something with multiple colors available and something that's not going to disintegrate in a week. Thanks
