    Which region of the US would you recommend for a move?

    Sounds like Idaho or Eastern Washington is a good fit for you. I live in Central Washington and it's a pretty red-state culture even though we're not a red state

    Central Heating/Air problem

    So as I finish up college, I'm currently renting a house with 2 of my friends (one of which owns the house). It's a sweet deal and a pretty nice house. It's a split-entry house with 2 bedrooms upstairs and 1 bedroom downstairs. The downstairs isn't really underground, but that's where my...

    What kind of question is that? I don't know anyone in 8th grade that takes trig/pre-calc. Besides, math can get tough when you haven't taken a math course since 2002 back when I was in high school. BTW, thanks for the all the feedback. I'm going to start working through them and post any...

    USB 2.0 PCI Card

    Nevermind. The main thing was my external HDD was not reading but the light was on. I realized that the USB 2.0 cable that came with it had 2 males on one end and 1 male on the other and that I was supposed to plug BOTH males on the one end into 2 separate USB ports. whoops. Remember this.

    USB 2.0 External HDD

    The USB ports do not work I guess. I just tried plugging my mouse and my printer into it and they aren't working. The PCI Card for the USB ports came w/ a disc with some drivers in some folders that are labeled VIA, NEC, and ALI. There is no auto-run or main installation. As I mentioned...

    More College Algebra Help

    Okay, using the quotient polynomial from using synthetic division, I rewrite the equation except with one less power across the board (becomes 2x^4, etc) and using the numbers from the quotient. I do that twice because there are two real zeros. However this only brings it down to 2x^3 + the...

    yeah supposedly by finding the zeros it will help simplify the equation somehow and I'm supposed to find the rest of the zeros after I "get to x^2" I'm kinda lost too.

    I need help with College Algebra

    We do here too, but the problem is that I haven't been in 11th grade for 7 years and the math classes we pass in highschool count as jack shit for credits when we're in college because they want it taught differently. At least around here that's how it works.

    OJ: pulp or no pulp?

    Pulp for the win. Tastes so much more rich and flavorful plus the chunkiness helps it glide through your mouth and down your throat at a slower rate so that you can experience contact with the orange juice for extended periods of time.

    How to obtain receipt for tips received?

    No we don't, however we both know for a 100% FACT that i've received at LEAST $75 a week. I know it's more than that but I thought it could be done with a conservative estimate of $75.

    Got Into An Accident

    Anytime an accident report is filled out by an officer, they have to write a ticket. I think it should be a judgement call by the officer. Since you were both nice about it and it was minor and everything went smoothly, I wouldn't have nailed you with a ticket if I was the officer. I'd leave...
