    There are a couple different ATM machine manufacturers out there, they have internal anti-counterfeiting sensors that always have a slightly different sensitivity even across the same constructor. Chances are HSBC used a different system than wells fargo and thats what caused the problem. Sorry...

    120hz 22-24" recommendations

    I bought the viewsonic 2268 monitor you have listed there on newegg a few weeks back. I personally like it, very little motion blur that I could tell, and there were no issues with input lag, even tried a little counter strike and noticed no issues. I use a 4870 with the monitor. The speakers...

    Stolen debit card

    Check the banks website but most, if not all, banks require you to inform them in a reasonable time if a card is stolen. Going in tomorrow should be fine, since she is not able to do it now. She should have nothing to worry about if she is concerned about being liable for the charges, if she...

    Has anyone here taken Paxil?

    I am on Paxil CR 25mg myself for OCD. It is good stuff, when I first went on it, I felt like I was about to cry a lot (but I never did) for the first few weeks, but that went away. Other than that, I did not have major side effects other than the dreaming. A side effect of Paxil is vivid...

    Did Bill Gates really steal from Apple?

    So, did Micrsoft apparently steal the pictures of Icons and actual code. Or since they came up with something which seems like common sense, (a GUI!!!!, ZOMG it's like creating Calculus!) that was similar to something before it, the haters say they stole it?

    If i drop a match into a barrel of biodiesel it wont explode will it?

    Well, I think you could do that to gasoline and it wouldn't ignite either, if you ruled out fumes. The fuel needs to mix with oxygen or it wont ignite no matter what you do.

    Does the Ford Fusion have a much younger image feel than an Accord or Camry?

    The Camry is definately a family man or woman type car. The Accord I would probably term as a probably late twenties or family man car. The problem is, I live in southern california which skews this a little bit since most people I see driving those cars are adult and older asian couples...

    If you get injured in the war....

    I forgot who said it, but I think it was along the lines of "it is good thing war is so horrible lest we grow fond of it." When it comes to the "rush and glory" of battle, truer words were never said about war.

    Is Ps3 Doomed?

    I manage a Gamestop in a upper middle-class area. We once got 6 60 gigs at 10am and did not sell the first one until 2pm. I did not sell the last one until 9pm. And this is after I told two stores near me I had them in case someone asked. If I had Wii's, I could have sold a hundred in...
