    [Poll] Will my detachable car cd/receiver faceplate work?

    My JVC car CD/Receiver detachable faceplate fell out of my jacket and landed in a puddle of rain water. It was in a rectangular plastic case, so it didn't get muddy, but it was pretty much submerged in water for 4 hours before I discovered it missing from my jacket. Drained it and shook it...

    Residential power factor correction devices...

    Active PFC on PSU's may end up benefiting the electric company more than you. Doubtful that PSU will be around long enough to actually see any ROI on it. But it definitely helps reduce waveform noise going back to the power lines. It's a good technology, I'd strongly recommend only buying...

    Very worried yes, which is why I've already made some drastic lifestyle changes and quite possibly a complete career change coming soon.

    Old technologies that were "better" than their new replacements.

    Definitely agree with the Tubes > Solid State, though I will say SS is getting better and better sounding (and cheaper). I've been waiting 15 years for an automatic and/or CV transmission that is better than a manual, but it's still a no go for me. Time will tell, but I feel like the 90's...

    Wonder Woman (2009)

    IMDB :D Nice thing about Wonder Woman is that the movie can be kinda cheesy and get away with it since the TV series was.

    mixing OTC pain killers

    Oh I do appreciate the advice. In fact, I stopped jogging and have only been doing sparse cycle/elliptical at the gym. Also yesterday I went to a pro foot shop and had them examine my feet, see how I walk, etc. Tried on about 6 different pairs of shoes and bought a new pair. The salesman...

    What will an Obama victory do for comedians?

    They guy who does Obama on SNL is fairly accurate, but unfortunately not at all funny (of the 4-5 clips I've seen). Darrell Hammond on the other hand has the mannerism's and vocal impression down to the T and is very funny.

    What would be the reaction if chimp jokes were made about Obama like with Bush?

    (I preface this by saying I am no fan of Obama at all..) I don't know if you know this or not, but that is a very derogatory southern term for blacks.

    "F@^* off, Zeppelin, you?re crap. You?ve always been crap and you?ll never be anything else."

    He does have some valid points. Anyone who has actually studied music knows that Jimmy Page, while a memorable guitarist, was a very sloppy and non-technical player. Clapton has him beat in that category hands down. (Compare some of Clapton's classical acoustic work Page's.) Perhaps not in...

    Lib talk show host wants Joe the Plumber dead.

    There will be no outrage. Libs (especially P&N libs) think is this was a moderate, centrist statement of attitude that is very reasonable and probably kinda funny. Letting newborn babies die on a cold table is reasonable behavior to a lib, what did you expect from a death threat on Joe...

    I have some severe knee pain due to recent increase in jogging. The treatment is to ease off the intensity, ice packs/heat, proper stretching and jogging/foot form, and inflammation/pain treatment. I've been following all those advice items. Also taking 3 Ibuprofen with a protein shake in the...

    Entire family is risking their lives to escape from North Korea

    Great movie! I wish it were longer. I do have to ask though, who did the camera work? It was obviously professional/semi-professional and spanned 3 countries. It wasn't all ninja cameraphone work. Amen! I hope that family makes its place and thrives in S. Korea.

    Looks like i might get laid off soon

    Look all you want but work to the very last day and don't give them any reason to lay you off until that very last day. Low-to-mid level IT is not where you want to be looking for a job right now. You might also want to look into a 2nd or 3rd shift position at a retail-ish (non-commission) or...

    Zombie Invasion! What guns do you choose?

    Short term, a gun would be a good idea to get you to higher/more defensible ground/locale. I'd probably go with a Mossberg shotgun w/ a pistol grip + 00 or 000 buck shot shells, and a 357 magnum revolver. A hunting jacket with quick ammo pockets filled to the brim with shells and bullets.

    Dairy Queen

    Two guys traveling through Texas stopped in Mexia at Dairy Queen for lunch. One guy said they name of the city was mex'-ee-uh, while the other said the name of the city was muh-hay'-uh. So they asked the DQ girl to pronounce where they were, and she said: "Daaaaaeeeereee Kawaaaeeeen"

    Possible hostile takeover of Linux network

    The org did not contact me again, so I take it that the information I told them to get from this admin they got, or he is back working for them. I believe it was Solaris btw. I have installed Solaris once a few years ago, but this looked new and more gui/friendly.
